I played Fire Striker with a friend and it's kinda fun. It's like breakout except instead of controlling a paddle, you control a character who can walk around and the maps of course are more complex.

Yeah Fire Striker is sick.

For which system? A lot early computer games were innovative for the time and were received well by fans and critics, but are rarely discussed today. Betrayal at Krondor, for example.

I had it for the PS1 and played quite a bit in order to get all endings and get familiarized with the characters but I'm also meh about it.

As far as 2D to 3D transitions go it wasn't bad but didn't set the world on fire either, it's squarely in the middle.

IT'S OVER JAREK

My interest with the MK series was at the lowest with MK4.

It went like this for me:

MK: I'd hear kids at school talk about it because of the violence but didn't pay much attention, I was into SFII mainly.
MKII: by the time MKII released I was hyped and found the gameplay and fatalities to be better than that of the first game. Became a huge fan of MKII and would play religiously every day, I also remember lots of kids came to my house to play it because I was the first one at school who got it.
MK3: I was hyped as fuck but when it came out it was a bit disappointed, still fooled me into thinking it was at least as good as MKII, at the very least I had a lot of fatalities, animalities, etc to learn and in the end I still had fun with it.
UMK3: things started to get clusterfucky with the franchise. Still a cooler version of MK3 with more characters and the return of scorpion.
MKTrilogy: It was like ice cream mixed with steak. It was good to have all the characters in one game but something didn't feel right.
MK4: must have played it only a couple times, I gave MK a last chance but it failed to hold my interest.

We're screwed, our best bet is to look at some local websites, otherwise it's straight to ebay or other international sites.

I once bought a Super Nintendo plus ten games and a Sega Master System plus eight games for five euros from a British expat thrift shop near a big British Army NAAFI in Germany. Quite frankly I should have gone back there again and bought everything because it was ridiculously cheap.

>I don't believe video games age
>except when newer games surpass them

If the new version does indeed surpass the prequel with certain "objective" improvements (I would classify graphical improvement as subjective, since you're dealing with aesthetics in that regard, but improved controls, fixing a bad camera, improving the frame rate, etc would qualify as objective improvements, I think), I would say the prequel is "dated." Doesn't mean that game isn't worth playing.

That said, I'm also in the camp that a great game doesn't "age." Some games just nailed it, and the sequels are simply a new coat of paint on the old formula. Tetris, Robotron, Defender, Ms. Pac-Man, Doom 2, Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Wipeout XL, Super Mario Brothers 3, Link to the Past, Contra come to mind as games which had sequels that didn't really "improve" on the experience and fun factor of the preceding releases.

Doesn't mean the sequels aren't worth playing nor does it mean the sequels are inherently worse games, just that you can easily jump between the games and not think one is "dated" compared to the other.

>>3255982
Do you expect people to play the same thing over and over when there's new versions coming out or something? Even if there weren't improvements just new levels or whatever people would still play the new games because they got sick of playing the old ones. And since there usually are improvements it's a no brainer. Or I guess a small brainer because the guy with no brain can't figure that out.

because Tim Follin could literally compose a masterpiece using a fucking toaster

It's too bad the SID was grossly misused by Yuropoors who made fart wave chiptunes. I do wish more game music had sounded like this.

If I remember correctly there is a mod available for the pc version that restores the original graphics. Under the hood the game is literally just the GBA version though, it actually contains the rom data of that game.

""Final Fantasy VI is sort of unique compared to the other Final Fantasys on Steam," said modder Christopher Cooper, who goes by the handle Krisan Thyme online. "Square actually have a copy of the original Final Fantasy VI inside the Steam release of Final Fantasy VI, and what they do is reference the original copy as a database to pull information such as cutscenes, where sprites are located, how the map is constructed, item stats, AI. It references all the stuff out of the original game, pulls it out, and constructs it in the new engine. It's pretty cool stuff, honestly."

Was my first RPG.
Had no idea how to play it well.

Year later, playing Final Fantasy 1:
>You can use weapons infinitely?!?

Last play through was last month.

Final fantasy adventure was really good, but this is a final fantasy legend thread. I rate both games 10/10

DOSbox.

Some are good enough to move games from floppies and CDROMs to drives and images, configure for the specific game, and make adjustments to execution speed as needed for optimum play.

The rest of us go out and get it from someone else who has already done all the work.

$65 a couple of weeks ago for pic related. I still feel like I over paid. Only thing retro I've gotten since then is Lords of Lore and Abomination big box PC games both complete for $2 each.

>>3251019
Christ are there seriously still people who don't know the value if their stuff? Phantasy Star is $40 alone

2D: AvP forever for me

3D: Die Hard Arcade

The only two I beat-em ups I played at the arcade and still play through MAME.

>>3260196
are you implying guardians is a hack or bootleg?

doing sone rotations of AvP and a little bit of punisher

Dynamite Headdy is better than both, but of those two, Plok is better, the other is a redesign of the original japanese game because westerners can't handle the animus.

Decap Attack is bad ass. Magical Hat is literally some poo in loo with a turban throwing an eggbaby with wings. Decap Attack is a motherfucking mummy throwing his own head at enemies.

Psycho Fox is better than both, though.
