Good if you have an old CRT TV. Can't emulate anything past 4th gen, so no PS1 or N64.
How did Americans cope with having to use the shittier TV encoding format to play their videogames on?

By having games that play at the correct speeds. I'm British and refuse to collect pal for this reason. And know quite a few people with full collections full of crappy pal games all running at the wrong apeed. They wasted 10s of thousands on these.

Nice meme.. When the videogames are optimised well, they run perfectly fine.

What are the best goddamn 4 player co-op games?

Saturn Bomberman.
How was such a mainstream game so difficult? Did any kids actually beat this?
From what I understand the pc version has an easier save system.
>>3305178
I imagine a combination of sex appeal and brand loyalty probably accounted for the game's sales.
Didn't the PS1 port also fuck up the lighting, a lot? I remember having to use flares every few steps into the game, and ending up stranded with an insufficient supply of them.
Either way, I need to finish this game. I'm still somewhere in the first block of stages.

>From what I understand the pc version has an easier save system.
Yes, thank FUCK for that, still took me +20 hours some years ago.
Had TR3 as a kid on the PS1 and it took me literally months to beat the second stage.
>>3305215
I'm playing the PS1 version (on 2nd level) and had to turn my brightness up, yeah.
I'm all for using darkness as a game mechanic. It's great. But make it unlimited flares. And you have to go into the menu to use it. Not shortcut button like TR2. ALSO it doesn't show you what you pick up when you pick up an item.
I mean fuck this is some decent challenge.
Why are snow BGMs the best?

Because you associate snow with Christmas which in return makes you wistful of childhood years.

I have an urge to replay the older Final Fantasy games. Problem is, there are so many remakes/remasters that I wouldn't know which to go with.
So when should I play the original and when should I play a remake? And which remakes give the best experience?
>>3304987
The Playstation versions (origins) are straight up remakes (except whiffing might be removed, I don't remember). All other versions change the gameplay.
So if you want the original experience play the NES originals or the Playstation version if you like the 16bit graphics.
Are you a purist or do you just want to get the gist of them?
Purist mode is playing the NES or Famicom original (with translation patch is fine) and going from there. Having played them all they're all fine, but they're old and kind of grindy, and FF1 has some big bugs but nothing game breaking afaik. Just some magics don't work and other mechanics.
FF Origins on PS1 was simplistic and the difficulty was toned way down. There were probably other changes but I can't remember. I enjoyed the PSP versions of 1 and 2 that you posted, so if you can play that it's worth it. Chaos was actually buffed by a lot and I found him very hard, whereas in the NES he was a pusscake. Plus I think all remakes have some bonus dungeons. But none of them seem to be very grindy and feel a lot shorter because of it. Obviously all got new translations too.
One thing to note with FF3 is because it was 3D they reduced the number of enemies per battle so the DS could handle it. That means they buffed each one so you take more damage per hit which throws off some of the jobs. You basically need a healer at all times to cover the extra damage. I don't remember it being like that in the NES version, since there would be more enemies, but they were weaker and spread the hits out among your whole party.
>>3304987
Playstation or Wonderswan is your best bet for a more original experience. The GBA and PSP versions use MP instead of vancian casting which makes it far easier.
Yes, yes, well done Mario, well done

I just wanted to have some reasonable discussion about how to play Mario Partyand which.__.
guys I'm searching for an old game.
it's a 90's point and click game, in the opening cutscene you and your friends are chilling then you go to the bathroom, while you are at the bathroom some kind of hitman get in the house and kill/catch (can't remember) your friends.
the game starts with you in the bathroom and the hitman knocking on the bathroom door, that's all I can remember since I wasn't able to escape from the bathroom (I was too young to think) hence I need to know the name of that game so that I escape that shit!
also old game finding thread.

Any other good Asterix games?
The arcade game was pretty good from what I remember.
There were at least a couple of nice 3d Asterix games released for PS1, not sure if those were released in the US though.
>>3304132
Asterix and the secret mission for the MS is like an updated version of that one, the GB games are clearly inspired by it too but they're not that good.
What is the oldest save file you have?
I'm pretty sure my Super Mario 64 cart has my original (unfinished) file from 1997. I'll get around to it some day...
Probably Kirby's Adventure. It was the only NES game I had back in the day with a save feature.
Probably a file on my SNES Super Mario All-Stars.
Then again, that game had a habit of deleting saves randomly, so it might be gone at this point.
>>3303928
A few years ago this was literally me. My friend came over and beat it for me. We were like 20. It's my oldest save too.
is quest 64 a good game
S'ok
>>3303653
Even back in the day, I didn't like it enough to finish it. It is very, very boring.
I bought it because it was supposed to be an actual rpg for n64, which had none at the time.
But yeah, as much as I wanted to bring myself to like it I just couldnt.
Who had the better library pre-merger?
I always liked Enix more.
Square did some of the best and most polished JRPGs, but Enix had more variety and experimental stuff, apart from classic series like Dragon Quest.
Enix was more of a publisher though, Square had more in-house development, but fewer variety as a whole.
My vote goes to Squaresoft. They didn't want to leave any stone unturned when it came to experimenting with different genres, especially RPGs. Every FF game basically had its own gimmick or character development system, whereas DQ games were nearly carbon copies in terms of gameplay mechanics. Although Square could take innovation only so far before they started churning out a lot of weird B-class games like Chocobo Racing.
I like some class Enix games, but the company's localization got progressively worse, especially during the fifth generation. Shortly after Square and Enix merged, Square's IPs suffered the same fate. I can't go anywhere near the more recent FF ports and remakes for this reason. (Partly. SE remakes are just shit in general.)
Square.
Hi,
I wanted to talk about ant-related games. As far as I know, SimAnt is the best one. I give SimAnt 9/10. Do you also enjoy SimAnt?
I enjoyed the game. Wish there were other colony management games similar to it.
This game is way too easy. It pretty much just wins by itself.
OP is an ant, right?
I always thought Zool was an ant too, but actually Zool is a gremlin.
