I feel like they wasted the colors in the SGB version on the ui like the hearts and second character, when they could've used them better on the ingame screen, which managed the gbc better.

I always play the DKL series with the GBC. Put I prefer the red/green color palette.

>>3302081
it's a good idea to avoid settings that use different palettes for background and sprites

Oh yeah, and what campaign do you like better?

I think I prefer Claire. But I have a thing for chicks in games. Even so, I'm pretty sure the Sherry Birkin/The mayor who hunted women/the reporter plotline was the best.

Ada was just fucking stupid. But Mr.X was a good monster.

>Are there more fun video game challenge runs?
Four Job Fiesta?

You could always try a low % Megaman X. That'd be uh, no helmet, no subtanks, no hearts, no armour. Just the required Maverick guns and the electric slide.

You could also tack on only using regular buster with that. It'd make a few bosses tricky, like armadillo, octopus and Mandrill.

Isopropyl Alcohol cleans up the gray cart plastic pretty good -- but it *will* mess up the labels if you are not careful. Just go slow and don't rush it.

As for the contacts, I've had some success with using "contact cleaner" (from a spray can) and a q-tip. There are a couple of carts I still have not been able to fire up, even with the cleaner. I bought the security bit required to open then up and plan to give them a thorough cleaning with brasso (which I heard does a better job).

The only trick I know is to remove yellowing. Submerse the cart in hydrogen peroxide and expose it to uv light while soaking. After a day or two of that, scrub. Remove the PCB first obviously. See "retro bright"

Soap and water, then I follow by buffing heavily with NOVA Plastic Cleaner.

What did you guys think of this game? I found kind of fun despite it being battlefield with a Quake 4 skin

Posting this here from last thread.
3DS homebrew port of Doom
https://gbatemp.net/threads/doom.376939/

It's kinda shallow and short. You might as well just emulate it and see for yourself before blowing the cash on it.

Not worth buying, just emulate it. Shallow and infinite continues makes it easy.

Who cares? No one needed to know that. Off yourself.

game?

>>3299643
I remember the CD-i demanding a similar price when it first came out. I can remember as a kid going into Montgomery Ward and playing that Zelda ripoff game and being blown away by it for some reason. I begged my mom for a CD-i all the way up to Christmas as I was continually told that it was too expensive. I got my SNES that year. Thank god they inflated the prices of those shitty cd based consoles..

>>3299643

That people would pay it. It's funny as hell, because I remember those, the CD-i and other systems over $400 and laughing.

The 3DO, CDi, Jaguar, and even Saturn were all premature. They were released when the 4th gen systems were still going strong with no signs of stopping.

The PS1 and N64 were the only consoles of that generation that ever had a chance because they were released when people were finally ready for new consoles.

EEEK
HELP
SPIKE

Pretty neat machine, bought me a non-working one from a thift store for $5 with most of the original box. Had it working for a while but its having board issues.

>>3299270
Oh hai mark.

I've never played one let alone know of any games, but if it's in good condition id probably buy it anyway. if worse comes to worse you could resell.

Is it really worth it holding onto for a few months in the hopes of possibly making $50?

I wouldn't bother with it unless you're a collector.

>>3297550
Most of the games that sold the system in Japan were dating sims. Thus, unless you understand moonglyphs and like 90s-era dating sims, you probably won't like the majority of the game library. That being said, there are quality titles for the system that aren't dating sims:

Farland Story and Der Langrisser are probably my two favorites from that list.

Metal Slug 3 is an amazing game.

But it's rife with bullshit.

I 1CC'd it ONE time and it was the most intense gaming session I've ever done.
Once I did that I basically dropped it. MS1 and X are much less stressful.

>>3296924
Is this drawing a Metal Slug variant of the Metal Gear Solid climax fight?

I'm decent at sliding puzzles but I utterly suck at Tetris and all its variants.

I'm the opposite. Good at Tetris but can't do sliding puzzles, Sudoku or Rubik's cubes. Shit at Puyo Puyo too.

Snatchers is a great game, give it a try.

I really, really love the original game. The famicom version specifically.

Huge nostalgia boner for it. I also love pretty much every other game in the series including the SFC platformer.
I never got into Stinger much though. It was pretty ignored when it came out in the US, I think. They should have released TwinBee 1 instead.

Anyone played TwinBee 3? I think it's the most underrated game in the series.

Also, TwinBee on 3DS is pretty cool. I'm glad they went for the Famicom version and not the arcade... I always thought the Famicom ver. was better looking and sounding than arcade original. Best thing about the 3DS version is that you can adjust the rapidfire turbo, and the 3DS circle pad is really fucking good for shooters. It's a shame the 3DS was not exploited with the genre, it's far better than using the d-pad or nub of the PSP. Anyway, I recommend the 3d classic version of TwinBee on 3DS to anyone. I remember I got it for free with the bonus nintendo points that came with my 3DS.
X68K version is pretty nice too. Basically a 16-bit version of TwinBee.

>>3295282
Twinbee 3 was my first twinbee game, and still one of my favorites. Definitely the best of the famicom trilogy, in my opinion. I have a lot of love for pop'n twinbee though, especially that stage 4 music.

Wowee look at that, I suddenly made the game actually fun to play with only 4 major changes, to bad Konami didn't figure this out during the testing phase.

Slowdown: The Game

Two things
If you're near the tube, they won't come up again until you move 1 or 2 blocks away from the tube
And its probably 2 or 3 seconds, i don't remember, haven't played Super Mario Bros. since forever

By not being a fucking retard

It has to do with your current score. If the last digit in your score is a multiple of three, but the total score isn't divisible by the square root of 65535, then the piranha plant has only a 16/256 chance of emerging from the pipe.
