It's boring

Press jump to jump.

both
my favorites in order:
FFVI, DQV, FFIX, DQIV, DQVIII, FFVII, FFX, DQVI, FFIV.

I love dragon quest for its focus in the story and not in being inovative. the series is super conservative and I like that. I want my dragon quests to have a job system, to be turn based and to hate metal slimes. And a hard last boss.
I love final fantasy because it's always trying to reinvent itself. Sometimes it blows up in their faces but they try. I hate online games, I hate FFXIII. I loved FFXV, it was super gay and made me happy (i'm not gay but I have nothing against that).
Anyways, why not both? that and suikoden and tales.

>>4251484
Final Fantasy. I haven't find a DQ game that I could fall in love with.

Dragon Quest

yes, the master system had better hardware.
nintendo got better games, and it was not because of their terrible business practices.
everytime people make a top 10 NES games they go for mario 3, zelda, metroid, punch out. the NES was a success because nintendo make very good games and they had good konami and capcom support.
also, the master system was the mark III, in a few years sega had released 3 systems, none of them sucessful. If I had a company I would not support sega.

>>4251468
The Master System was really popular in the early-mid 90s, especially with the cheapo revised model.

>>4251483
Capcom licenced Forgotten Worlds and Ghouls n Ghosts to the Master System.

>>4251326
who the fuck knows. it's not a very good game

If he does not remember her, and just thinks she is an attractive woman, then it's kind of an Oedipus complex less..?

>>4251186
did he fuck rinoa or not.

>>4251227
he was said to be her boyfriend and was more alpha than squall, so I like to think he did.

good. take a break. I spend literally nothing on retro games because I'm just an emulationfag and poor. either way, ask yourself if you're only doing this to fill a gaping hole in your life with something entirely different. maybe you should actually make progress to address your real issues in life. I'm just saying because that's what it sounds like to me.

>>4251107
I dont have anything else going on, and Im in between jobs at the moment. It started with some
cables, then some gameboy games, then I suddenly lost track and ended up buying a whole load of
stuff.

It might have been me trying to stuff an empty hole, but theres not much that can be done about it.
Small steps. Thanks for your concern anon. I'll do fine :)

I completed my ps1/2 rpg collection last year. Took 8 years and I'm glad I got most of the more expensive titles dirt cheap from some lucky ebay/flea market finds. Overall probably spent a total of 2k or so on everything. Worth the investment and I'm set for a decades.

We had a thread about it last week.

>>4250815

I really wish wizards would dedicate some resources into remaking this game. It's STILL to this day the best electronic version of MTG to play.

It runs just fine on my w10 machine, and like >>4250848 said there was a thread about it just a few days ago

It doesn't exist.

>>4250812
>youtuber makes a video
>suddenly there is a thread
I mean Ahoy is a great one with incredible production value but come on.

>>4250823
I know, it's just got me really curious

Why has nobody bothered to make a Linux port yet? It already has the bulk of the work done (opengl video).

>>4250572
The original deus ex seems to only be popular on 4chan for some reason.
I've never really seen it being discussed anywhere else despite winning GOTY.
Anyway, does this issue happen with you too?
It happens on both my arch desktop and my mac

>>4250568
Use an older version of wine. I never had this issue under wine.

>>4250586
>only popular on 4chan

Hahaha.

>>4250439
Shadowrun for the Genesis seems to be the closest to what you're looking for. It's non linear, exploration focused, most of its content is optional in some firm, and you do gather a team of people based mostly on their classes, although they do have backstories if you ask them about it. Definitely worth a go.

SaGa 1 and 2

The Romancing SaGa and Frontier games have no character creation or classes (Frontier has races), but they also fit the "simply go on a fucking adventure where the emphasis is on exploring the game's world in non-linearish manner instead of the focus being on 2deep4u storylines, endless cutscenes or unbearably bad romance subplots." part.

If you want more Wizardry the Wizardry Gaiden series may be for you.

>>4250218
I'm confident that you have absolutely no knowledge of game design or programming, and you must be new here if you think you're going to be able to organize anything here, let alone an entire game

>>4250226
That's fine if you want to FUD. I have about 3 years of experience developing for embedded devices, which is more or less what retro game development boils down to. I wrote a couple of simple programs for the GB before making this thread to get a feel for the hardware and it was pretty straight forward to do fundamental operations like enabling the LCD, initializing DMA transfers, working with the OAM, and handling user input.

I'll admit I'm not a z80 wizard, but it's a really basic architecture and assembly language so it's not really a problem.

As far as organizing things go, I'm not really expecting much in terms of code contributions. I was just hoping to get some /vr/ users on-board to make it more interesting, at least for the ideas and maybe some content. Can't really call it a /vr/ game if I just do everything myself, then it'd just be my game that I'm shilling on /vr/ or something.

This isn't exactly the first project like this on /vr/, either. At the very least, I remember a SNES project a couple years ago. Not sure what happened to it, though.

>>4250218
Just Demake SMT 3 Nocturne. Or do a port of cave story/ Undertale for the GBC, i mainly want to hear gameboy renditions of their tunes, and see them in the gbc color palette.

>>4250032
that game is super boring

>>4250032
3 maybe kinda, probably at the bottom of the best tier list. 4 and 2 are definitely tier below, 4 maybe on the "decent" tier instead of "great"
Never played 1.

It's a better looking BoF2, that's it. It's not on the level of God tier JRPG's on PSX like Xenogears or Chrono Cross for sure.

I tried to like them, since I genuinely like Bubsy as a character, but

>has Sonic's high speed, but there's no health system or spinning attack to protect you from enemies, so you have to awkwardly inch your way through the entire game
>jump height is way too high
>you have to keep the d-pad held down to control Bubsy's momentum, because the game will restore his original movement speed if you let go
>sprawling levels that aren't worth exploring unless you're going for a high score run
>graphics and sound don't justify the massive cartridge size

>>4249950
Years ago, I used to find the lack of health and constant one hit K.O.'s to be annoying, but later on I've realized that a lot of games had that trait. It just makes it more challenging and I don't mind it anymore. Don't see how the jump height is problematic, as you could just instead use glide to jump less high. I do agree with the rest of what you've said though. But despite that, I think the hate towards Bubsy isn't justifiable, as I've seen many worse games that even people as patient as me couldn't handle.

1 was average, 2 was a step down
both weren't as bad as people say

>>4249751
decent

>>4249751
More of the same. Owned almost all of them. Spellbound Dizzy was the best one.

>>4249751
>How were the other Dizzy games?
Rage inducingly infuriating. Supposedly "kidz" games, but were about as kid friendly as a night in a Turkish jail. Treasure Island Dizzy especially is a brutal slog where you have ONE life to complete an incredibly tough game, and has a mechanic where you must hold a snorkel item at all times while underwater or you drown. Oh yes, and you regularly have to pick up and juggle your inventory while underwater, making it extremely you will drop the snorkel and therefore fuck up and fail the entire game!
Some of the later ones are a lot more fun (starting from Magicland Dizzy), especially once they started giving you a health bar instead of instantly killing you (the game has retarded jumping physics and mastering how the momentum makes you move in odd ways or die instantly is something it often loves to make you do).
Bonus points also for literally being made by a pair of teenagers and therefore being packed with spelling and grammar mistakes.
