We mention which game we played last/are playing and a little review.
Just for the fuck if it, I'll do it as a haiku:
>exactly like Castlevania
>ripoff with stick and eagle
>does not make it bad
>>2936780
Oh, the game is 8 Eyes.
>>2936780
8 Eyes plays quite different to Castlevania though.
On topic, i just 1cc'd Kozure Okami from Nichibutsu, it's an early beat 'em up with pretty simple mechanics based on the "Lone Wolf and Cub" Manga. Can gets quite difficult at times, but it's worth trying out since it's easy to pick up and understand the mechanics.
Oh also, the PCB is rare as hell.
The Terminator - Sega CD
Hot DAMN! I keep getting surprised with this game. I went in expecting a generic run n gun like many of the other Terminator games. Fuck no, this game actually expects you to fight smart. Make good use of your grenades, and don't use them on t-800's. The T-101's can insta-kill you by running you over. Duck often.
THE SOUND! I swear to god some of the level BGM sounds like some Joe Satriani style rock. This might be my new favorite OST to a video game, holy shit.
The game actually seems to follow the plot of the first terminator movie pretty well too, I just beat the 3rd level(I think?) and I fought against some teleporting asshole then stepped into the portal, and now I have a shotgun and a trenchcoat. This shit is pretty damn good, and I'm having a blast with it. 10/10 music, 8/10 gameplay, 7/10 graphics, This is some solid stuff.
8/10 game, 10/10 GOAT Terminator game, will be the best Terminator game until someone does a proper remake of the PC game.

Dude how did you fuck up that haiku that badly
I like the idea of haiku better

Megaman: The Wily Wars
So I never got into Megaman, just missed it as a kid, but have always heard praise for it. I have fiddle around with 1 but didn't seriously attempt it, and tried the Game Gear one outta of curiosity. Oh and I play some random fangame (Megaman Rocks) that was decent. Was bored and wondering want to play next, wanted to play Megaman, found out there was this compilation, considered playing originals, saw it had additional stages so picked them.
Apparently it wasn't the wisest choice, music isn't poorly recreated, huge slowdown issues, and it's takes a solid button press to make him actually move left and right. But I feel it mostly captures the spirits of the originals.
I can see the appeal, the levels are fun, but holy fucking shit the bosses are fucking pure rage aneurysm inducing, I fucking cannot stand it. Thinking about it right now it's getting me pissed off. Seriously, it's either pick the rock weapon to his scissors or spend fucking 10 minutes doing 0.1 damage with the Mega Buster until they finally die - if you don't fucking die in 3 seconds (seriously what the fuck it up with Elec Man, faggot could seriously shoot me once and it was over). And heaven forbid you should die, because no fucking ammo refills for you! FUCKING ALIEN BEING IMMUNE TO THE MEGA BUSTER.
How can anyone stand this? I guess when the originals were around, games had to be Nintendo Hard, but nowadays it's just archaic.
All in all, I dunno like 7/10

As a haiku
>Great levels, music
>Holy shit these bosses are hard
>Too hard to be fun
Soul Blazer
>action RPG
>I like the game mechanics
>but the control's stiff
Bump, since this is still better than the 20 "Recommend me a game /vr/" threads we have up.
>>2936780
Played some Rival Schools 2 on the Dreamcast. It's a great little gem, never really got much love from Capcom outside of a few guest appearances. It's really fun thematically and I like a lot of the characters. It's also funny, which is nice. The Aerial movement is a little clunky, but that's not so bad as it forces you to move around the arena and dash more, it's kind of like Street fighter EX but not shit.
>I don't think OP
>has a clue how to haiku
>this thread is still cool
>>2937058
Me again. Just made it to the factory level where you have to deal with the skeletonized t-800. Keep getting my ass handed to me since touching the t-800 is insta-death. Still loving this game and the soundtrack.

>9/7/5
Haiku game is weak, but I remember liking 8 Eyes regardless.
Throw the enemies
Even if you don't mean to
Throw bad guys to win
It's MGS except in 2D.
And it's better in almost every single way.
It's music is pretty kickass, too.

Fuck haikus, by the way. It's snowy outside and I just wanna recommend vidya.

>earthbound in the more typical fantasy setting of JRPGs
I dunno, not very accurate.
>>2936780
Orin uses a sword and Cutrus is a falcon.
It's not bad yeah. Not too good either.
>>2938648
It's obviously a sword, but it looks like a stick.
>>2938639
What game?
Dragon Quest has a similar battle layout, but a lot of games did.
Shitty customers
At least I'm good at stunt jumps

There's no point though, I can just play lessartificiallydifficult games, I'm not stuck in 1989 or whatever year the originals came out with no option but to master them. I just usedsave-states before each boss, because I don't want to waste a month of my life mastering a videogame, let alone three.
Currently playing Lufia 2 on Snes.
>Decent RPG
>Puzzles in dungeons are cool
>Dialogue is funny
System shock
It's a learning curve, it's old, they have ported it to newer systems and it works.. It's the most advanced fps game I've played to this day, it doesn't hold your hand and it will keep you engrossed for hours. Give it an hours worth of your time and you won't regret it. Nuff said

20, 31, 15, 2 isn't a haiku bro.
I don't know what the fuck that is.
But seriously, I've been meaning to eventually get around to this...

What is this in reference to?
unbelievable
exploring and having fun
like when I was young
it's my new favorite game
tankas are fancy haikus
F-ZERO X
sharp controls, decent graphics for the 64, attacking other ships is hard but I like using the spin move during jumps for style points (no actual points awarded) has neat unlocks but I can't beat the first cup on master difficulty. Is it even possible without cheating?
>>2941851
If only it had passwords, I would enjoy this so much more...
Having to restart the game every time from the beginning is a pain in the butt.

>>2943551
It's the only time I use save states (via my Everdrive N8)
Otherwise I'd probably just leave the NES on forever.

Castlevania:SOTN
Fuck this boring ass game. Gives me a fucking headache and makes me wish I'd be playing a real Castlevania game instead.

B-but Anon-kun, it's not legit if you're not playing on real hardware with the original cartridge...

Only really played the SNES version but I liked it.
That and Soldiers of Fortune really got me to love The Bitmap Brothers.
>>2937117
It's not hard and never was, because as you say there is the rock-to-their-scissors thing. In fact there are multiple rocks per boss, generally, though some tend to work better than others. The gimmick is shallow and kinda silly, but it isn't hard. Just try different weapons until you find the one that makes it easy; and if you don't have such a one then play a different stage instead. Anybody can do this. The trouble is that it's up to luck, whether you pick the right stage from the start--but you can always pick it later, if you didn't start on it.
