To its credit unlike the NES version it has two player co-op.
But you both are locked onto a single line so no up and down movement

If Master System is so much better than the NES, how come its third-party support was so dismal?

Also,

??? they're the same system

It's better because it came out after the Famicom, I think the console that was out when Famicom released in 1983 was one of the SG systems before Mark III, which were more akin to Coleco Vision or Intellivision.

Famicom simply was the most flexible hardware to make games on as early as 1983, and it catched on heavily in Japan, and later in the rest of the world as the NES with an already stablished catalogue of games that continue to grow until the early 90s, with both MD and SNES out already.
SMS came out late, the graphics were better than the NES, but not enough to make people go "man, I want the SMS instead of the NES", that happened when more advanced consoles came out, like MD or SNES.

Research the shit practices that Nintendo used to back in the 80's. They made companies sign exclusivity deals to be able to license the ability to use their propriety cartridge system. You either played ball with Nintendo or you were blacklisted from selling games on their system.

Everyone loves Nintendo and forgets what assholes they were in the NES days.

The PCE came out even before the MD in Japan. It was really more of a bridge between 3rd and 4th gen.

Wonderful console. In that sweet spot graphically where it wasn't capable of fmv, so it dodged the bullet of shitty sega CD style "interactive video", and instead we got games with gorgeous pixel art based cinematics, bigger sprites, more varied artwork and CD quality audio. The pinnacle of 16 bit CD gaming imo.

Why is this game so piss-easy compared to literally any other Castlevania game?

When you have good controls, games are easier. SMW compared to SMB 3. Turtles in Time compared to TMNT II and III.

The devs didn't fully adapt the game to the controls. Still my fave Castlevania desu famicon

Guys, help me find a game that I played a demo of from when I was a child!

I don't remember if you ran around with the key buttons or your mouse, but you controlled a barbarian or some other kind of warrior named Magnum in a roman setting.

I remember that the setting was cozy as fuck.
The camera angle was static and I remember you running by the colloseum in the distance.

Also, when you died this really scary skull with either thorns or those olive twigs around the top of the skull, with a scary grin.

Does anybody know which game I'm talking about?

I should also add that it was for PC, and that I played it probably some time between 1997 and 2001.

I know of the game. I want to know the title, too.

One of the coolest games lost to tide of time: Illbleed

Released in the spring of 2001 and Sega Dreamcast at death's door, Illbleed would sadly be relegated to obscurity. Despite the unfavorable reviews from critics, Illbleed has a horror survival experience which has yet to be matched by any other title. The atmosphere, identifiable characters, charming aesthete, campy tone and plot all culminate in producing what might be the first Horror-Comedy Survival:

Thoughts on this for emulation ? Anyone have one ?

How hard was it to set up?
13 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
>>3306617
Have a rpi, emulated on it once. It's alright but honestly pretty shit overall. Better off building a computer for it or just getting the consoles. Might be alright for older harder to find things. Also I prefer playing games on a crt and the pi has absolutely terrible composite output
>>
>>3306617
Seems okay, it's like my "lazy" setup when I don't want to Tate monitors or hook PCB's/consoles up. I use Lakka and it's okay for most pre-1999 anyway. Wifi was the only "complicated" thing because terminal commands but that shit is in the tutorial. Bluetooth is super simple pairing. But desu if you play on a CRT the wii is pretty good if you don't mind a lot of things. And if you do mind a lot of things maybe just forgo the emu.
>>
Have that exact setup on composite. I use retropie 3.8. Easy to do if you can handle basic Linux commands. Follow the wiki, most complicated thing to do is find proper BIOS files for a couple emulators, which isn't hard at all. Works pretty well, especially for gaming with nonautist friends. I'm a collegefag with no space or cash for a real collection, so 50 bucks on a dedicated emulator "console" is a good deal.

It isn't purist, but idgaf if I can just pick up and play any of my old vidya
