Just use it as a proxy card to bait a combo.

>>3755802
This. All you have to do to win is have a weak card with a bunch of arrows like what the OP posted, then place it somewhere where you will be the last one able to attack an arrow. The computer takes the bait every time

>card game?
yes, and not necessary at all.

For the longest time, I pronounced Ocarina of Time as ORCArina, like the orca whale.

I'm not American, and I already heard a lot of American people saying "Ninja Gay-den", Ryu as "Rái-u", and a lot of things like this. Funny.

I got a new overlay for vectrex. Makes the games look really trippy, I can't go back to black and white ever again

Where do you get these homebrews?

I'd be interested in getting a Vectrex but holy fuck have they spiked in price

>>3754661
Multicart. I got my 72-in-1 for like $30

>>3754343
For our amusement and curiosity.

For preservation. Sure, some random bootleg probably isn't significant, but I guess the fact that such things exist is part of gaming history. I think a lot of preservationists take the viewpoint of "We can't say what is necessarily significant to the overall history of gaming, so why not backup what we can?"

Folk who grew up with it might want to check that shit they played as kids again for nostalgic purposes.
I'd kill for the ROMs of my old multicarts for Famiclone from 1992, a 30 in 1 and a 64 in 1. I remember most of the games, although there may be a few that I'm forgetting and I'd like to refresh the memory, and I'd even love to see the menues again (which was plain black background) and its sound effects (a sort of "plick" sound every time you selected a different game).

People told me this shit was actually good. Turns out the only good thing about it was the music.

Vectorman had neat looking graphics for the time, but yeah it was bad. Vectorman 2 is especially fucking terrible. I just tried playing that a few days ago and it made me sick.

>>3754309
It is more or less the equivalent of Donkey Kong Country on Genesis, neat use of the graphical capabilities and that was its selling point.

But the game itself pretty generic and boring.

>>3754284
The Chief played this forever ago, what are you talking about

Another cozy ass town. I spent forever roaming around it.

I was going to say Kalm was the comfiest city but now that I look at the picture it looks sort of creepy. It's the music that is comfy.

It's so great to hear after all the intense stuff that happened in Midgar.

>>3754185
I wouldn't call Kalm creepy at all. It's FFVII's take on the towns of past Final Fantasy games.

In fact it's comfy as fuck.

>>3753987
Battle Garegga is literally babbies first shmup tier.

All I wanted was the pad to play MM9 and MM10 on Wii with.

Guess i'll settle for a converter.

>never properly played a Megaman before
>NES Classic comes in
>inject Megaman 1-6
>play and finish them all

Need to play 9 and 10 now. Are 7 and 8 worth playing ?

>>3753198
>inject Megaman 1-6
So hacking the nes mini has become a thing?

King Colossus is a great action RPG for Sega Genesis. If you like Zelda and Ys, you should like this game too.

A few games actually were released in Japan with full English for whatever reason.
>Mobile Suit Z Gundam: Hot Scramble
>DigDug's NES port.
>There's one for the FDS called Ai Senshi Nicol

As far as recommendations outside of the usual? Chaos Seed's translation is pretty recent, remember to listen to the tutorial very closely though, it's quite the different game.

>>3752667
The SNES version of Tales of Phantasia, translated by DeJap.

classic. #1 was way better though. I dont really have any desire to play #2 if the first one is available. Agree?

NOT ENOUGH!

Fuck you dog, just give me an item.

>>3752460
No. 2 had better controls and better levels.

Another anon posted this some time ago, and I thought it was an interesting view on the use of the word "nostalgia":

>you know, people tend to misunderstand how nostalgia works.

>Nostalgia is indeed similar to a drug, in the sense that, undoubtely, something you thought you had forgotten can trigger a chemical in your brain, which causes the nostalgia effect.
But nostalgia is not playing games you liked as a kid.
For example, if I play Contra every now and then, and remember it every now and then, it's not nostalgia, I'm just thinking and playing a game I genuinely like.

>Nostalgia is the feeling of suddenly seeing or remembering something you actually haven't seen or think about in years, or decades. That's what causes nostalgia.
Liking a game from your childhood is not, it means you genuinely like it and that's it.

>Nostalgia doesn't actually have to do with liking a thing or not, you might remember something you were kind of indifferent as a kid (like a shitty pop song from the radio you haven't heard in decades), but it still might trigger you nostalgia because you associate it with your childhood. But you might not necessarily like it, or listen to it again later, you just have a spontaneous nostalgia trip, and that's it.

tl;dr what happens to you isn't "nostalgia", you just like old style games better.

>>3752145
I discovered emulation when I was 15 in 2005, so I couldn't play older games IRL.

>>3752137
>nostalgiafag
No. Just another kid trying to be special with muh "im so retro new games make me physically ill OMG why don't modern developers understand me" shit. It was sad the first time it was posted and is now only sadder and older.

Rondo
/thread

>>3751947
I like both. If you want to complain about Castlevania's artwork, start with Dawn of Sorrow.

>>3751950
Rondo had an animu style

desu OP answered his own question. Symphony was the first game that had that style.

I'm currently getting this glitch on all elevators and it seems like the way to fix it was removed by Valve on the Steam version.
