Is it really the worst retro videogame of all time?

It's actually pretty good. People used to like it before AVGN said it was bad.
>>
>>3310810
Fuck you. I played this way before AVGN was even a thing and it was garbage.
>>
>>3310817
Most licensed Atari games were "garbage" because most of them made no sense without the instructions otherwise they would be "meh".

So how bad is King's Quest 8? I just finished 6 and I'm about to start 7 and nearing the end of myquestto replay King's Quest 1-4, and then play 5 and beyond which I've never played before. I did something similar with Ultima last year, but after trudging through the abomination that was Ultima 8 and not even finding the motivation to attempt 9, I'm a little wary of playing yet another Origin game numbered 8 that I've always heard incredibly mixed and bad things about.
Also if anyone wants to talk King's Quest, or Quest games in general, that's cool too.

But it's a Sierra game. They didn't have anything to do with each other since Origin was founded.
Personally I liked Ultima 9. 8 was a disaster in terms of gameplay, controls, story and more but 9 actually plays and looks quite well and mainly the story sucks.

Way too early in the thread for bait this low-effort. You can do better

Couldn't get into the series. Shitty localization put me off. I don't know what the localization department over at Enix was smoking during the fifth gen, especially considering their earlier localizations were nowhere near as bad.

I thought it was pretty good, but the random crashes in the Seraphic Gate drove me up the fucking wall. Voice acting ranged from good to hilariously bad. The gameplay was pretty repetitive, but fun. Actually being able to explore dungeons a bit instead of running from point A to point B like in most RPGs was nice.
One of the few games I've played with inverted difficulty. Hard mode was the easiest.

ITT playstation JRPGs that aren't boring, actually have good story/characters/plot and an interesting combat system.
pic related- only this, dank cloud and persona 2 are the only JRPGs I ever truly enjoyed.

What does this logo mean?
It has made appearances since the first game and no official explanation has ever been given.

Do you have to assign meaning to everything? It's just a fucking logo.
>>
>>3310369
It's just that, a logo.
As far as I know it has no meaning other than being a logo for smash. It probably was going to be for the original game before nintendo decided that using characters from their other IPs was a better idea (The beta testing version used their other IP's models as stand ins)
It does kinda look like the twinkle as your character gets blown off the screen though.

A bit of a polarizing game, but I enjoyed it. Very challengeing.

Strangers will bug you here too. I don't have public transportation in my area, but as far as waiting rooms goes, yeah. Plenty of people eager to sit next to me and tell me all about their life story and / or current physical ailments, even if the conversation is completely unsolicited.

At this point, anyone remotely interested in digitized fighting games heard of Galloping Ghost and the pending release of its sole title "Dark Presence," but the story goes even deeper than what pending reports have suspecting. The game's history goes all the way back to December, 1998. Gathering from the screenshots archived from that time (bear in mind a few links are broken), production appeared to have begun way back then before the creator(s) scrapped everything and started over.
You can browse any of the archived links from gallopingghost.com, but in the meantime, enjoy some screenshots released in 1998:

1998 is retro, yes. Check the rules, no need to ask.

How scary is this one compared to SH2?

Much scarier. SH2 is much more emotionally tiring, though.
>>
>>3309403
The soundtrack is much scarier than anything SH2 had. It fucks with you too like playing frantic metal clashing in big dark rooms where there are absolutely no enemies to hurt you.
The Sewer theme sticks out to me due to the distorted goose call.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mb3PAx-E-Uk
The game itself is more Mystery/Horror than SH2 depressing atmosphere. "Nowhere" is the greatest horror game location that I can think of.
>>
I've never played the first silent hill, but I found 2 really terrifying. I love 3's aesthetic and a lot of the choices too. 4 is a mixed bag, I think it's got some great individual moments that you can point out, and everything within the room itself is absolutely perfect, but most of the mechanics outside the room are overdesigned and cumbersome.
Should I go back and play the first game? I've played Shattered Memories, which I liked but I know it's supposed to be way different.
/vr/ banner?

Try making a banner that doesn't look awful by keeping the original aspect ratio of elements.
Here's a tip: keep the native size of all of the elements and manually add tiles in the appropriate places and frames to make it look great.

Nope.

Posting old pic with the strongly encouraged "rules" (still working on updated pic):
1. New suggestion: have both email and date in your time stamp. This way you don't have to include it in your text as people will see it in the pic, and the pic would be harder to steal.
2. Prices should include shipping and fees for CONUS; if you're international, prices should include fees and you can work out shipping details with the seller/buyer.
3. /vr/ stuff only, although /v/ stuff *may* be allowed if you have /vr/ stuff to sell first.
4. I strongly advise against gift payments.
5. Modding services of course are welcomed, but modders please be prompt and professional. Follow-up feedback for services rendered is welcome as well.

What are some bizarre rumors you came across online when you were young?
I read one where the result was that when you met Saria in the Lost Woods, she would have a fish on her lap. The author seemed to think it was an intentional easter egg by Nintendo, and said it was a dirty joke by Nintendo and that he didn't want to explain it. At the time I didn't understand, but later realized maybe the fish was supposed to be sperm? The way he insisted it was vulgar joke and refused to explain it made it seem like it was true.
Anyway I just looked it up and it seems like it is a real glitch. Weird, kind of defeats the purpose of this thread, but lets still talk about weird rumors you read, true or not.

What? No, man, it's like a common joke that vagina smells like fish. She had the fish over her crotch. I don't know if it was an intentional joke on the part of nintendo, but the author you're talking about almost certainly was implying that the joke was about pussy smelling like fish...

Thoughts on the Babylonian Castle Saga? Never played any of these, but they seem interesting. Worth my time?
