As a kid, I bought as many as I could. Figured it was the best way to get the most out of my allowance. Game in the OP and Sonic Mega Collection Plus were my best purchases. Now? I'll only pick them up if emulation is spot on, unless it's a portable compilation game of console games, where I'm slightly more forgiving.

I'm oddly fascinated by them.
I like how they hype the games up with artwork and sound effects. It makes it a uniquely more enjoyable experience than just downloading a rom online.

Lost and can't use a catalog either? We have a 24/7 Doom general, use that.

Always liked Milon's Secret Castle for this. The soundtrack is great and the exploration is fun. It's a hard game though so a lot of people get too frustrated.

bro you are too funny way awesome trolling

I see all these TSR game colletions on GOG. Out of all of them I'd only ever played the 1st Eye of the Beholder.


Awfully tempting.

Darklands is king.

If you like tactical AD&D combat, you'll love the gold box games. Mind you, besides some basic fantasy story and dungeoncrawling thats mostly it

>you played a generic looking fighter
it might help to describe why the main character was fighting or what the plot or setting was

if you can remember

Help me /vr/. nes wrestling game, i remember that you went to the corner, pressed some buttons and some guys on tje corner changed your mask or something like that. Guys in the corner had Black mask like an executioner. Was my first game when I was three.

Hey, it's the Genesis sound thread guy. What's up?

You should do Deus Ex for your next /ogg/. That's sure to rake in those (You)s.

>>3276885
I made this thread because I'm sick of the Genesis sound thread and how unfair it is that this game gets shit on.

Nice accusations though you autistic retard fuck.

How about you post images of retro bugs on this retro video game image board?

It has a translation patch, for those wondering.

There is something very important to know when using this patch.

It allows to strafe, turn, and going forward/backward at the same time, which wasn't possible in the original game.

In Build games, as well as in Doom and many other 2.5D FPS, when strafing and going backwards at the same time, you go faster. About 20% depending on the game.

As a result, if you strafe/forward jump, you make longer leaps; and as a result, since you were not able to originally, you can sequence break a LOT of things in the game.

The levels design and layout were heavily based on "being able to see a place long before you gain access to it", and a lot of design is based on the precise original jump distance limit. So, if you strafe/forward/jump you can sequence break in almost every level.

Here is an example video I made a few days ago

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSl5alRtV8U&feature=youtu.be

Here in Lev8 you can access the end of the level right from the start that way. Of course, in this case it's obvious you're not supposed to do that, but in many cases it really isn't obvious you're sequence breaking if you do it and are not aware of this.

So enjoy the patch, but for every jump, do not strafe at the same time unless you want to completely break the game.

The game however with real strafing in this game is that, unlike in Doom or DN3D or most other 2.D FPS in which enemies fire straight projectiles at you, in Exhumed/Powerslave if you strafe they'll shoot by trying to guess where you're going to be, rather than shooting where you are. This gives a new dimension to the gameplay with the real strafing patch.

Great game, glad to see a thread about it. If you like the PC version of this game stay tuned for a surprise in a few months.

more like powerstrafe, am i rite :^)

FFT is my second favorite strategy game on consoles, and my favorite SRPG with grid-based combat.

The only game that I prefer over it is pic-related. It plays very differently though.

Nope. No one has ever bothered to make replacements. Try buying a third party controller?

Only played Xak 1 and 2 for the PCE-CD so far.
Pushing monsters into walls was kind of fun but the balance was off. The platforming in 2 was annoying.

Ha, I think there can only be a handful of ultra DIE-HARD Xak fans that consider the series better than Ys.

I've played all the PCE releases of the Xak games (only barely 3; I only just started). And while there are certain things I like, they have their share of problems.

As the other anon says, the balance in Xak 1&2 is really off - it lurches between "everything fucks you in one hit" to "you're an unstoppable badass." The PCE port fucks up the MSX originals by forcing you to grind to hurt some bosses (who won't take damage unless you are a certain level). The downside is that by doing this grinding it trivializes the rest of the game, to the extent that the final boss dies instantly. And so does the Xak II's final boss.

The combat revolves around pinning enemies against walls and watching their health bars deplete. It's kinda fun and satisfying, but I don't think it's what the developers intended. It's a weird take on the Ys bump system where... you just hold a button to bump into things.

The platforming is also a lame inclusion because it is so fucking easy to die in Xak II, because the platforming segment(s?) use wonky perspective to make it difficult to judge where to jump. Fail? Hope you saved right next to the area to try again!

Then again, I don't know if the PCE port was handled by Micro Cabin or Telenet (the kings of garbage).

Fray in Magical Adventure is actually my favorite thus far, despite being incredibly easy. It at least feels like it was balanced around being an easy spinoff game. It was also developed/published by Micro Cabin themselves, which may have something to do with it. It's colorful, has variety, and is a pleasant playthrough - I hear the PC versions are different and likely worth trying.

All that being said, there's quite a bit I like about Xak I&II! The first moreso than the second, since that seems to have more creative locations and a quicker pace. As fast ARPGs go, I found them fun if flawed (in the case of the PCE versions).

Is the in game art more like >>3274258 or >>3274921 because the 90's anime style looks cool but the cover the OP post alone makes me want to try this series. Is there a suggested starting point.
