Played the shit out of that as a kid. Prior i had only played Mario stuff so even being able to go directions other than right felt like a leap!

I like the nintendo game ALOT. It's thrilling.
Is this game similar?

because they were having fun.

>>3302616
Do you mean in general, or just sonic?

>>3302627
Sonic CD Japanese/Euro Soundtrack is godly anon

>>3302406
Not retro >>>/v/

>>3302415
How? I never post on here or /v/ however I did read the sticky here and it says games launched before 1999. Since I was discussing the series as a whole (not to mention the first 3 games came out before 99) I thought this would be the appropriate board.

Sorry if it isnt.

>>3302406
cause' casual gamers are to stupid for immersive stuff. they need quick and fast boom boom action now.

I don't quite understand how that is any impressive. Dan is god tier, he is the king of fighters.

No screws in the cart is a dead giveaway. Also, if there is no sticker on back

On a related note, how good are ebay for refunding money you've spent on bootlegs?

If the auction didn't specify it as a reproduction, 9 chances out of 10 a PayPal refund will cover you

I always thought both ALTTP and SMW looked kind of weird as a kid actually. Growing up I kinda like SMW's art now but ALTTP still looks kinda ugly to me, still it was released pretty early in the system's life time so I guess it's understandable.

>>3298743
Weird thing is I loved ALTTPs style but never enjoyed SMW, ever. Even now I just can't seem to enjoy the way it looks. Weirdly enough I love Yoshis Island for its style.

Maybe SMW falls into a weird uncanny valley. for me.

>>3298616
Looks kinda RPG Maker desu.

You're being pretty vague, what don't you like about it exactly? If your at the end I imagine you like it fine. Also what do you want in a jrpg? Its hard to recommend specific games to you when you didn't leave any reasons you didn't like chrono trigger.

I didn't get a chance to play it until the Chronicles port, and I found it to be pretty overrated. It's a solid game on its own merits, but just not the kind of game that encourages you to revisit it, despite the existence of a New Game+ mode.

For starters, all the characters are forced into specific class roles, so you don't get to customize their skills or equipment, aside from some liberties with armor and accessories. I think Chrono Cross took things in the right direction with the element grid, since you could customize character abilities however you saw fit. All that variety makes NG+ playthroughs slightly less boring.

Well, there's not something in particular I didn't like, I just didn't feel like it's that good. The story is really good, but not quite 10/10. Same goes for the music, graphics, etc. You got what I mean? It's not that it has something bad to ruin it's 10/10 score, it's just that it does not have anything so special to make it 10/10. Maybe my only real complaint is that I found the game to be pretty easy. I didn't die until now and I have about 20 hours of gameplay.

What I want in a jrpg is what I want in any other game I play. I like games that are also kind of an experience. Like they make you feel something, care about the game. Take Super Metroid as an example. It does not have text or anything, but you feel everything without the need to read anything. Of course I'm not asking for some textless RPG (that would be stupid as fuck), but I like when a game makes me care and provides feelings as I play. Was I clear or that sounded like straight bullshit? I also like shorter games. I also know RPGs are normally long, but something as long os Chrono Trigger is totally fine. Difficulty must be precise too (not to hard, not too easy) since I care a lot about that.

Also interested in this

I use darkplaces. It works well. It's in the repos for some distros aswell.

Quakespasm.

I really wish there was a full archive for issues released from 2001-2005.
That's when I would just pour over the magazines night and day, rereading them to no end. I don't have any of them anymore though and I want to relive my childhood.

>>3298379
Also, born in 1993. Not underage.

>>3298279
I had a subscription around the time first gen pokemon and n64 were important...the spines of multiple issues would create an image when stacked, which was cool and encouraged my hoarding

>>3297002
Why not? What else you got going on?

Add Dungeon Keeper to that list

>>3297002
>Are they worth the time needed to complete them in 2016?
Diablo 1 and 2 and Warcraft 2 and 3, yes.

Starcraft was best online playing against people, it's not the same against the computer imo. Warcraft 3 is good alone though.

>>3297005
I'm currently playing through Return To Castle Wolfenstein for the first time an having an absolute blast, I haven't had so much fun with a game in quite a while. Kind of ignited an "old games I never really played" kick. I just wanted to know if they were still good games 15-20 years later or if some were worth skipping.

I'll give Dungeon Keeper a look though!

Hi Mike

Just got fathom after seeing the CGR review. I wish imagic had kept making games, I would have loved to see what they could have busted out on NES hardware.

2600 consoles surprisingly costly for how unpopular they are. Meanwhile, the games are still dirt cheap as they ever were. Is it a fail rate? Console-only shelf collectors?

>>3295208
I unironically believe The Lost Vikings was better on genesis.

>>3295208
almost all the disney stuff, what you listed, and street fighter II champion edition (retained cps1 strings)

Much better than its SNES counterpart.

What games still work, and are there even any people still playing online?

>>3297140
Quake 3 and PSO from what I can recall. Maybe some other titles?

>>3294398
If I had the cable modem I would, but it's so expensive, and the workarounds are such a fuck about that it just doesn't seem worthwhile to me.

If you enjoy arena shooters at all you owe it to yourself to play Dead Connection. It's literally an unlicensed version of The Untouchables. Also, one of the best games for destructible/interactive scenery ever.

Elevator Action Returns is a very good one, I got Taito Legends 2 on PS2 primarily for that.
