Uh...

Ameritards continue to crow on and on to this day about "The Great Video Game Crash of '83".

There was no such fucking thing.

All that happened was the American game market collapsed due to spastication. The rest of the world was just fine and kept on gaming.

The gaming scene in Europe back then reminds me so much of the indie scene today - with loners literally coding games in their bedroom.

There was a fucking ton of shite. But there was also so much goodness. And during the Spectrum/C64 days, it was cheap as fuck anyway so you never felt out of pocket.

Silly Britfag.

Don't know, never played it myself.

I think yes. I never liked the 3d zeldas, they're kind of a gimmick in my opinion. Still great games, but 3d doesn't add too much. The puzzle elements in the 2d games are just as in depth and offer just as much, and the gameplay is just as solid.

>>3290309
Yes.

A lot of European / amiga games. Like Unreal, also a rail shooter. And I do thing the world's and color palette of shadow of the beast look like moebius.

Honestly nothing matches the beauty of moebius's art, guy was a god of art.

interesting coincidence, I'm scanning the manual for PD Zwei right now.

Dunno how I'll scan the first game though, it has this huge 4x3 poster as the manual, it doesn't fit in my scanner.

This is actually the only Final Fantasy that I've never played.

Grab the GameBoy Advance version and patch it with the SNES music

monk will out damage warrior late game

Wait till that white mage gets masamune

it takes a while for the Black Belt to get really cool, but you're almost at that point. the Fighter is kind of always awesome though.

White Mage will never, ever not suck at fighting, but that's not what they're for. (yes, they're good with a masamune, but so is everyone else. they just don't have a weapon that doesn't suck until the masamune.)

once you get items that throw unlimited level 2 elemental attacks and Heal, your mages will have better shit to do than to ever use a weapon anyways.

don't mind me though, i'm just bitter because i still play this on the NES and the game is buggy as shit. Grand Master is actually slightly worse than a BlackBelt, Thief is literally worthless, half the elemental-attuned weapons in the game and several spells are busted... it's fun but in the bad, hard way.

How does it feel knowing your heart is wrong?

wow, racist much. What do you have against pink people?

What's the deal with this anyway? Had they not finalised the colour for the NES game at this point or something?

I motherfucking love Broken Sword. The first is my favorite. But not necessarily the bestest. Part 2 was great. 3 I really did not get into. The new one is fucking grand aswell. One thing, they have a different voice actress for Nico in part 2. She's good, but part 1 Nico gave me boners galore. Could be cause I was 11.

Part 2 was my fave. 3 is a bit of a slog. Never played 4

Excellent series.

First one is the best, and the DS version with an added Nico chapter was also okay. Second one was also good, but I don't know, I kind of liked the Templar storyline more than the mayan stuff.

3d transition took some time to get used to, but I rather liked 3 and 4 as well, 4 had one awful thing about it, and that is quite possibly the worst ending in history of endings.

Didn't play V. Have it on Steam, but never got around to it. Heard good things about it, though.

Mother did it for me. The sweet 8 bit music and graphics and the whole tone of the game.

I guess Earthbound too, to an extent, but I got more faux nostalgia with Mother 1.

Willow is fucking awesome.

/v/posting at its finest. Can't wait until we get "what went wrong" with X3, X4, etc. So much originality.

>>3289672
>What went wrong?

Nothing. It's probably my favorite game in the X series.

Continuing the Terminator theme (is it the law for these games to have awesome music?) here's a snippet of RvT on Megadrive:

The bass on this track is off the scale through a good subwoofer. Victory is fucking sweet too...

Here ya go!

I guess it is a good time to bump

>>3289649
you have to change the type of music you want in game. There is no options on the main screen for some fucking reason. Just go change it from CD to Midi though

>>3290041
the thing is, when I go into in-game setting, there's no 8-bit mono option, just CD music with or without opera, as if the 8-bit mono music wasn't installed.
I'm starting to think it isn't.

>>3289457
you can those native formats to lossless formats in Foobar

it's very easy

Soulseek

Grabbed some Ecco the Dolphin stuff from here a while ago

Some people on youtube put quite a lot of effort into recording older stuff but unfortunately they don't usually put it up for download for some reason.

Thanks OP, that Fighbird game looks like it could be very sweet, it says IREM CORP in there. Will try it out asap.

Sega CD. Emulates pretty well on Wii, also PC obviously. People are going to tell you PC engine CD because muh vidya god kojima they don't know what they are talking about

>>3288998
Sega CD isn't in Japanese so it will never be the full experience.

>>3289118
told ya

ugh... in an alternate universe Nintendo wasn't run by dickheads who refused to keep up with modern technology or make any game that didn't have Mario in it

>>3288765
Pretty sure 3D would take over 2D no matter what timeline you're in.

To most people, more dimensions means better games. Not to mention N64 was built to be a 3D powerhouse, so making 2D games for it when other choices (like the Saturn) would be more sensible is silly.

>>3288783
You're not wrong on any of those points, but in the long run Nintendo did shoot themselves in the foot by making the N64 so bad at 2D. It pretty much killed the niche appeal.
