Is it worth buying and playing this version when I already have it on Turbo CD? I had heard it was a shitty port or something.
>>3832118
it's just a shitty game
>australia-kun in 3... 2... 1...
Play the game and see by yourself. It isn't a port, though.
What is your opinion on the new enemies Doom II added?
Personally, I despise them all. None fit the aesthetics of the game (except the Hell Knight and Arachnotron), and they're almost all blatantly overpowered or much harder to avoid in combat.
The game didn't even have the decency to make a new boss monster.
Now personally, I actually like the Hell Knights, even if they are just palette swaps. I wish they had at least gotten a custom model or something.
>>3829823
No offense, but this should be in the Doom thread.
Chaingunners and revenants are the best monsters, mate. If they weren't then why would every half-assed WAD be crammed with them?
I like all of em except Pain Elemental

Ever name your characters after old friends in effort to reconnect with feelings and / or make up for long lost relationships that you no longer have today?
>>3825146
Super gay.
Yeah. Sometimes an ex b-Baka
>>3825146
No. Literally the only game I ever name characters after myself/my friends is Oregon Trail (and games based on it like Organ Trail or Orion Trail) to watch funny shit happen to me and my buds. I can't take a game plot seriously if the characters are named after people I know.
i'm going through zelda 1 again for the first time in ages.
can someone give me tips on beating these bastards in level 5? after about 100 tries i got through the first room full of these guys (the one where you have to bomb the wall) using bombs, sword and 2 drinks of potion.. then i get to this next room full of them.... now i'm totally out of supplies & obviously I died pretty quickly.
it literally took me hours of trying, dying, gathering supplies and trying again just to get through the first room. how can i get through both?
i've got 9 hearts, by the way.
Use bombs wisely. It can reduce the numbers a lot if you place them correctly. And you should have enough heart containers for the Magic Sword now.
>>3824845
Get enough hearts for a Magical Sword or get good. They're not that hard to learn
just git gud, it took you 100 tries because you are shit, if you weren't shit then it wouldn't have taken 100 tries, makes sense doesn't it?
>when you realize the ps1 didn't even have correct texture mapping
I owned a Playstation, not a "psx", so I didn't have this problem.

Tryhard underage: the post.
Is it, dare I say, the greatest STG of all time?
Radiant Silvergun is. 1941 is a close second. Then Gradius III.
>>3837287
It's the best Gradius game at least.
>>3837287
If you don't mind the slowdowns.
Arcade Gradius III on MAME is the shit you should want.
Is there any reason why shmups are so goddamn expensive?

Yep, this.
I keep reading that the Sega Master System / Mark III was incredibly popular in Brazil for some reason. This started me to thinking: What was the pre-2000 gaming scene like in Brazil?
I was surprised to find out that the SMS didn't sell very well here in the U.S. Since my family had access to one all throughout my childhood, I assumed that most other households were equipped with one as well.
master of darkness is a really shitty and amusing castlevania ripoff, check it out
tectoy kept the thing alive until the mid '90s there, some of their games are ok but the best ones were game gear crossplats
It was a weird time for sure.
Basically, Brazil had a big culture of what we called "location houses" (locadoras), which were places were you paid by the hour to play a console of choice. I think you have them in the US too, but they're very rare, and only very small children go in there. Anyway, those were big in Brazil because most people didn't have money to buy videogames (we still have 80% tax on game imports), and they were also sort of a "game place" of sorts, where everyone liked to hang out.
During the 80s, we mostly had NES clones, like the ubiquitous Phantom System or the Dynavision. Some people had Ataris, but they weren't as widespread as NES clones. We had so many NES clones that most people never even saw an original NES back then.
When we reached the 90s, like 93-95, we started to have a shift towards the SNES and Mega Drive (Sega Genesis) in those game places. They were mostly the same, although now people with more money used them to rent cartridges to play at home instead of just playing by the hour. That's where the name "locadora" (locar = rent) comes from. You had most of the classic games like Megaman, Mario, Sonic and so on, but stuff like Chrono Trigger and Earthbound never found its place there. The most obscure game I remember from that time was YS IV, I think. It was known as "the japanese game", because it was in japanese and no one knew how to play it.
From 1996 to 2000, the country got a much needed economic stabilization (google "Plano Real" for a quick rundown), and we also started having more Playstations in game places. The Saturn never caught on here, and I think I only saw a 3DO once. Now this is when piracy exploded, because even game places didn't have money to buy original games. If you were going to compare back then, an original game back then cost as much as 120% of your minimum wage. So people just modchipped the console and played pirated CDs. A pirated copy cost less than 1% of your minimum wage, by the way.

What went wrong?
>>3836965
Abandond bump style, also story wasn't as interesting as the others
>>3837017
But bump system sucks.
>>3836965
tried too hard to be like any other SNES RPG
shows in the music and graphics department
I think it's time we should make a master list of tv's (any kind) that DOES display the VGA mode of the Dreamcast, it would seriously help in deciding what tv you might want.
How about any old PC monitor that you can get for free at this point? CRT or early 4:3 LCDs would be perfect.
>>3836882
The thing is that any monitor works with the Dreamcast, tv's aren't
are these usb controllers worth getting? i was thinking of buying a nes and a snes controller to emulate with
Apparently Buffalo brand is okay but I just use real controllers with converters
>>3836217
If it's cheap and unbranded you can pretty much guarantee it'll be dogshit
>>3836223
The iBuffalo USB SNES clone pad is generally thought of as closest to the real deal. I can confirm this myself being an owner of both iBuffalo pads and real SNES pads.
Unfortunately iBuffalo don't make NES clone pads but they do have a Famicon clone pad.
>>3836223
I also use the USB dongle so I don't have to ruin a original controller.
Is it worth it for me to buy one of these pieces of shit? Or are prices on games still stupid.
>>3835683
Please don't buy that ugly piece of shit. SFC or nothing m80.
>>3835683
Snes emulation is accurate enough that collecting snes stuff is just retarded.
>>3835704
What if I'm an original hardware fag?
SOMEBODY ONCE TOLD ME
>>3834874
you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential, I've got potentialbut seriously, that game was shit.
>>3834874
Holy fuck, absolute dog shit of a game. And for what at the end? Oh wow they go on a picnic. Fucking pointless.
>>3834874
Has to be awful
What are your favorite Final Fantasy games?
>>3834059
12 and tactics
8 and 10
Nearly all of them? The easier question to ask is which one's don't I like.
Why is Top Gear 2 the best Top Gear game and the best 16-bit racing game ever made?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAMvfv6X8xs
i always liked the theme from the first game better
>>3833764
The racing bits were pretty good, but I never really cared for the beat-em-up sections where you played as Jeremy Clarkson.
