Am I the only one who doesn't like Super Metroid?

No, I'm not.
overrated but not bad.
Just don't sequence break or go for 100%, nigga. Play the game however you want.

>Sorry if we didn't tell ya
You want to be told where everything is?!
That happens once in the game anyway, if I recall. And it's pretty obvious if you know how to read the terrain.
whats the best version of the sega genesis? 1, 2 or 3? I'm saying this because im looking to collect sega games that I've played from my childhood. I want to play these games on a HDTV. I was thinking about getting one of those Mini Framemeisters if possible to use one of those with it. have any ideas /vr/? I used to have a V2 but thats long gone now.
>>3316140
model 1 that says High Definition Graphics on top mainly because the sound chip on it is the best.
I have a model 2 and I'm fine with it but someday I'm buying a modded console
>>3316140
Model 1 is fine.
In theory, a modded early Model 2 has the best sound quality.
But out of the non modded it's an early Model 1.
For the love of God and all that is holy can we please ever get an HD release or something for Snatcher. I want to play the game without buying a SegaCD and I refuse to rom this shit.
Why do you refuse to rom it? It is the only way to play it right now, so worse for you.
Then buy a Wondermega
>I want to play the game without buying a SegaCD
That doesn't look like the Mega CD version anyway. You've got half a dozen ports to pick from.
Out of the Namco "Big Three", which is your favourite?

Galaga.

I've noticed in some strategy games especially, that when playing with dosbox (or without), the games AI becomes kinda hard?? It's as if it's benefiting from the extra CPU power of modern CPU. Some games I've noticed Death Rally (especially on hardest difficulty), Dungeon Keeper 1 (last mission) and Fragile Allegiance.
Is there some workaround for this, so the AI wouldn't gain extra actions/extra calculations?
Picture unrelated
>>3313158
In DOSBox I guess you could throttle the emulation (with CTRL-F11 and CTRL-F12) and see if that makes a difference

You do know that video game AIs aren't literally AIs right
They don't get "smarter" if they're on better machines, they behave the same way in any machine you run the game.

Previous thread.
>>3238222
Just wondering, why not wait till the next release? Not like there's really anything to discuss until then.
>>3308054
I agree. these generals are completely unnecessary when there aren't news subs being released
What does /vr/ think of Holy Diver (Famicom)?
He's been down too long in the midnight sea
>>3303897
kek'd.
Pretty cool game.
BETWEEN THE VELVET LIIEEESS
was he the strongest ff villain?
Tied with Garland and Ultimecia, I'd say.
Probably, but that's countered by the fact that he has no character. Truly he's evil just for evil's sake.
>>3298256
Kefka was the strongest because he actually succeeded in destroying the world.
Time for the occasional Daggerfall thread! Ask for help, trade characters, overall video game discussion.

Daggerfall with all the official patches, unofficial patches(reccomended), and goodies such as quest packs and other languages.
Also eases installation and cuts out the dos command middle man.

TES games are shit.
opinions on daggerfall unity?

Thanks for the contribution, familia
ITT: things you have learned from retro games.
I'll start: In the year 0373 of the new space age calendar people still use floppy discs.
Bad thread
>>3318328
Uh-Uh... Bad Board.
>>3318283
from a crypto point of view a floppy would be enough to hold a super strong encryption key. If they are easier to produce than usb I'd see this as a viable thing. 1 time padded floppies that are destroyed/magnatized after 1 use.
Is /vr/ a dadgaming board?
The reason this thought was brought to my head is because so many people prefer the older entries in /vr/ franchises to more recent ones, people prefer the old Castlevania games to SOTN, people prefer the classic Puyo Puyo games to Fever, early FF games to the later entries, classic Gradius trilogy to Gaiden, heck oldschool shmups to later shmups in general, etc. etc.This is all beside the fact /vr/ shits on non-retro games, but this thread is not about that.
How much of this is justified, how much of it is teenage hipsters being edgy, how much is old men being nostalgic?
As gaming stopped being niche, it grew more popular, budgets increased and companies needed more people buying, which meant games stopped being good overall
>>3317773
>How much of this is justified
Taste can be justified?
>>3317773
This is an interesting thing to think about. I love both retro and modern games, but many series that have been around for a long time have changed into different kinds of games that may not appeal to people used to what the series used to be.
But even though I hate what's happened to Final Fantasy, Tomb Raider and Castlevania specifically there are still other games that now scratch those itches. Or new itches I never knew about.
Why did New Challengers sound worse than Turbo? For comparison:
Turbo:

New Challengers:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0N_gibV1nk
New Challengers sounds borderline out of tune.
>>3317770
SNES sound chip always sounded like shit to me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJhVEKwbDpo
Though the soundtrack sounded much, much worse in SuperSF2...
>snes port
who cares
>>3317770
arcade went from FM based in HF to Sample based in NC and much more synth sounding.
SNES adaptations just followed each style
Which would you say are the must-play games in the Donkey Kong series?
I've been playing lots of games from classic series that I never bothered with in my childhood, so I don't know anything about the Donkey Kong games bar that they're platformers.
>>3317635
DK Arcade: Must-play
DK Jr: Must-play
DK3: Can be skipped
DKC1: Must-play
DKC2: Must-play and the series' magnum opus
DKC3: Can be skipped
DK64: Can be skipped
DK94: Must-play
>>3317643
The gameboy donkey kong is decent, after the original 4 levels there's several more worlds.
>>3317635
Donkey Kong '94
Donkey Kong Country
Donkey Kong Country 2
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
So I found 15 Ti-99 4/a games at a thrift store, is it worth spending nearly $100 canadian to get one?
Since there's an 80% chance they're just kiddie eduware, no.
That thing's software library suuuuccks.
I swear in the name of God and all things holy, I've found 2x as much TI-99/4A shit in thrift stores than all the Commodore 64 stuff I've ever seen in my life.

These are the better ones I got
Someone is selling an untested console without the powercord for 25 canuck bucks but I donno where I'd get a power cord for it
>Came out two years after MMX
>Worse graphics
>Worse sound
>Worse controls
>Power ups are weak and boring
>Bland level design
>Bland music with a few exceptions
>Dumb plot
its amazing that this shitty game regularly goes for 200 loose
the fact that you seem to think the quality of a videogame determines its price makes me think you must be new around here.
>>3317492
resellers and dumb hipster scum determine price
>>3317492
Megaman 7 regularly sold for 40-80$ in 2010 and it isn't even that rare.
