Just make them yourself, dude. Find a pic, crop, and resize.

Do you want me to kick your ass?

Try using Neverwinter Nights or Icewind Dale portraits

Or download a 1TB Giga Portrait Pack and wade through a whole bunch of autistic bullshit

Friendo, this is old info, but thanks for sharing anyway. I particularly like the forgotten buildings, very neat.

Check the rest of the site as well.

Why old? It was just posted 4 days ago.
Many of the shots are new to the internet. Also the sorting is new and fake shots and such were sorted out.

DESU I really like the Starcraft in W2 engine look. A sort of a bright color look instead of the finished subdued feel. Would also make the game playable on 486/66.

Its had an effect.

But for those in the know. It's probably overall more positive than negative.

If all you give a shit about is collecting physcal copies of games? You probably hate e-celebs and youtube.

If you want to know how to 1CC Metal Slug 3, or how to speedrun Yoshi's Island, or restore an arcade cabinet, or mod a Sega Dreamcast, or fix a controller, or clean your console, or a slew of other incredibly useful niche information, youtube is an insanely powerful resource

Fact is, you have multiple avenues to get these games. Whether its Eshop, PSN, Xbox Live, Steam now getting some retro games, and the age old emulator and rom sets.

Youtube has done a lot more good than harm over the last 10 years.

It's only an issue if you're a nintenbaby, sega prices are generally quite good.

Yes

That's a lie.

Two children died during the production of Donkey Kong Country 2.

It has the Mario it has the Luigi(he brother) HOW is not Super mario 2?? it's true

because neogeo collectors are fags and shit their diapers whenever a game is released on something that isn't a cart because collecting PCBs just isn't as cool as collecting carts.

can't fit a jamma board into a shockbox.

Aren't MVS carts going up in price now? I haven't checked in a while...

>Over and over

You should really have just played the game right the first time, man. For one thing you're not supposed to run through from one end of the stage to the next, you're supposed to search each past stage for Robotnik's generator and destroy it. Don't forget to also play the special stage of each world to collect the Sol Emeralds. Then you can see the proper ending.

I mean, it sounds like it isn't for you anyway, but I thought I'd at least explain why it seemed to short and unfulfilling.

Each time I got the past teleporter activates it would disappear before activating, and there are a limited number of those. Hands tied in moving forward.

>>3775904

Each stage has at least one place you can do a continuous loop, the first stage has platforms that spin Sonic, second has a pinball bowl that will keep his momentum, many others have U shaped loops he go can up and down, so on and so forth. Exploration is the name of the game, gotta use the ten minutes to their fullest. People take the piss out of it being the 'Gotta NOT go fast' Sonic game but it really should be played a lot differently.

What platform are you playing on? I believe the 2013 release cut the time needed to teleport in half, if that's of interest to you.

He was a good president, and in a game where there were demonstrably bad presidents.

>>3774719
which? were there ninjas that would give you hot bullets of shotgun to die?

Why are tessellation and ambient occlusion popular in modern games?

Dragon Wars.
You will need the manual for this one, and you can level grind easily past 200 which I thought was necessary.

Wizardry
Might and Magic

Because it's arguably the best console Nintendo ever put out, and pretty much every character in Smash Bros. has a game on the system that was considered the best of their franchise.

>you can only play mario so many times
If you think the SNES was only mario, you're kind of a retard.

>Is it because its the first console all the mid 20s bandwagon collectors ever played?
Mid 20 year old hipsters grew up with the N64/GBcolor.
If anything, they collect SNES because they only caught the tail-end of its life.

>>3774269

>how come everyone these days treats the Super Nintendo like it's the holy grail of game consoles?

Because its good?
Because it has good 1st party titles in every genre, and a lot of good 3rd party ones?
Because its the retro consoles who has "aged" the best in terms of graphics, difficulty and gameplay?

Unintuitive interface:

I'll admit, I never read the manual. But the UI has some very strange design, and I can think of three examples why: 1. I spent much of the game thinking you had to equip stimpacks to use them. It meant I played very safe most of the time and shied away from some encounters when I didn't think I had a chance without healing. When I fount out all you had to do was enter your inventory and equipping stimpacks was 100% useless. If that was the case, why didn't they just let you equip more than one stimpack at a time? 2. I didn't know you could use objects ON things until the very end of the game. There is one point in the game where you have to interface your radio with a computer to progress. First I tried . Then I spent another 20 minutes fiddling with it until I realized in order to use it: 1. It MUST not be equipped, and you have to hold the left mouse button over it, then click your bag, then scroll down and then click on the radio. 3. Speaking of scroll buttons, the inventory scroll system really sucked and is very slow to get to the item you want.

If I was only allowed to change one thing about this game, it would be the user interface design.

The illusion of depth in skills:

Maybe this is common in CRPGs, but there are a lot of animations for certain skills to build around, which is cool I guess, but you are ultimately doing the same thing: Picking one skill, like big guns or unarmed to max out and then become ridiculously overpowered in. I chose unarmed, which either turned out to be a great choice, or (more likely) it's just the same thing for all stats.

I felt that the following skills were 100% pointless: Gambling seemed pointless, there were two places to gamble (three if you count the two computers on the base) and the payout was so miniscule. (caps are easy to come by, had around 20k in caps by the end), Outdoorsman (I didn't know what it did, so I looked it up and it... reduces the number of hours it takes you to find water if you're dehydrated. Cool?). I won't get into the perks, but I found most of them equally useless. They have so few use cases, it's almost like the developers threw them in there just so more stats existed. If perks and those stats were removed, the game would be equally .

its just a game bro

I was turned off because there's some input delay. But I'm really glad it came into the world though.

yes

no

Arcade GnG on US difficulty. Good luck getting past Satan.

All three games are difficult but not because good game design but because how cheap they are.

>>3774153
Classic NES probably the hardest but Super was the best.

Wait, are there actually people throwing the word "Megemanvania" around? Because if so that legitimately rustles my jimmies.
