Lotsa fun, but scared the shit out of me as a young child.

Is the Wii remake faithful to the original? Has anyone played it?

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

I liked casting White Wind on undead monsters because the reverse effect meant instead of healing and curing all ailments, it damaged and attempted to inflict all.

This is now a /gouraud/ thread

When I was a kid, I used to think a couple things about the 1/35 soldier models.

1. 1/35 meant there were 35 in the game and I had to find all 35. I didn't know 1/35 meant scale size.

2. 1/35 soldiers would turn into free units at the battle of the Phoenix mini game. I have no idea why I thought that.

bullshit. marble garden is actually a fun level. sandopolis is not and the color palette is atrocious.

the barrel is the worst.

Is that a black face?
In a 90's american comic, no less?

>marble garden is actually a fun level.
in what universe?

Read about what happens in 1/2, either read about 3 or play it (not really required but 3 is the best original trilogy Ultima), play IV, make FUCKING SURE you play V, optionally play VI, play VII, then live the rest of your life believing that Origin never made another Ultima game after VII despite all evidence to the contrary.

Make sure you have the manuals that come with the game because it helps you with a few things in the game.

Have something to write down/type in notes during the game because you'll need it.

And have fun.

>Origin never made another Ultima game after VII despite all evidence to the contrary.
But Blue Sky Productions/Looking Glas Studios did.

I would suggest just playing 1. There's no plot worth mentioning but it's so short and simple it's hardly wasted time.
2 can be ignored completely.

Ultima keeps jumping around in how it plays like so while there are particular "groupings" like 1-3, 4-5 and 7/SI, being able to play one game doesn't mean that you would be able to play the others.

>Why oh why did someone think this change was a good idea?
So that non autists can enjoy the game too.

>>3254365
But almost no other shooters are designed in this way....You either have lives or you restart the entire level/from a checkpoint on death.

>>3254342
>Descent 1 and 2 you have a limited number of lives

I don't recall that. On death you dropped your items, but you didn't restart the entire level over.

well first you have to be chinese. are you?

Most multicarts are crap. Some of the games have timing issues, others have buggy sound, some have title screens removed.

I used to love the idea of these things when I was a kid. But then I got older and bought a bunch for various systems. They're all crap.

>>3254042


Here's an odd MD multicart that uses switches on the top:

would something like this be better?

Are you able to get them to play at all? I don't know about the honeybee but most of those adapters don't have a 10nes chip in them, which means the region lockout isn't going to let the games boot at all. That's what the blinking light is, it's the system getting caught in a reset loop because the lockout chip isn't allowing it to load what it thinks is a pirated game.

Go on YouTube and find a walkthrough for snipping the lockout chip, not only will you be able to play imports and bootlegs with no problem but you won't ever have to deal the blink again.

When I consulted Google, I found absolutely nobody bitching about needing to disable the 10NES before getting the Honeybee to work. Everyone keeps talking about it like it's supposed to just plain work. And Honeybee being a company from Taiwan, I figured they just disregarded copyright/patent laws regarding the lockout chip. (Pic related; I don't know for sure, but I think the black chip on the left side of the board is probably the chip that makes it work.) The closest I've come to this possibly working is seeing a coloured screen upon every reset instead of just plain black.

I've already been seriously considering getting my NES fixed up to deal with that lock-out chip. This might be what makes me follow through. Even if it turns out the Bee is fucked, at least I won't have to deal with the blinking, and that alone would be worth it. In the mean time, I think I'll open up my Honeybee to see if it has that mysterious black chip.

Ah yep, that's definitely the lockout chip on the left side of the board. I figured it had one given how pricy it is, but I'd recommend disabling the chip in your NES anyway just to not have to deal with the blink like you said.

Another thing, are you trying to play the games in the up position? I have pic related, it's cheap and Chinese and doesn't have a lockout chip in it, and the games don't play in the down position because the board doesn't have those long contacts that the back side of NES boards do. One other thing, at least with my mine, the games need to be inserted into the adapter backwards. So on a famicom cart it would be label facing down, with the honeybee logo facing up.

he's just like me. intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor ;)

You don't need to play the first one to understand 2. Some characters return, but let's just say 1 happened in an entirely different country than 2. About geting the 108 characters, you may indeed need a guide, because you can lock yourself out of getting 108. About the endings... well, they're kinda different, so if you're only playing this once, aim for the true ending.

There's a game-spanning sidequest that gives closure for a character, but it's so restricting that you may as well watch it on youtube - you need to reach the final battle in less than 20 hours.

>>3253938
I think I might actually just play the original first since apparently there is an overarching story to the first 3 games in the series I'd like to get the references and characters I wouldn't otherwise since this series looks to be one that I could get really into

Have you played 3? I heard it's not as good but is it worth laying at all?

You don't need to, but it's recommended.

>>3253320

kek'd mightily, holy shit how'd they get away with that?

>>3253325
if kids can't get it then you can get away with it

Have to try a 360 rim rocker

So...lose at the game?

>with the less score

So just stack everything so you top out in like 5 seconds?

^ This is the kind of thing OP meant, I believe.

I'm sorry to hear about your brain problems, OP. Hope you get better soon.

>>3252821
The main villain kills puppies

I think yes

>>3252821
The level where you swim around as a salamander while Beethoven plays in the background still remains one of the most hauntingly surreal levels in gaming to me.

>>3254067
Then you had to play that trivia game where you answer a bunch of nonsensical questions. Someone must have been having issues.

>>3252809
Fuckable.

>>3252809 (You)
and does anyone have pictures of her feet?

it's just for laughs haha i don't actually like feet

Great game and cute character. Paper cutouts don't really do it for me sexually but by all means continue with your line of discussion.

>>3252439
google would probably be a lot more helpful than 4chan

Well, you can buy the emulation apps if you don't wanna make any tinkering.

If you are serious about emulating games on the go, try with a PSP model 2001 or 3000, best emulating machine ever.

>>3252446
Ive looked but there are various emulators and I'm experienced with none of them. I was hoping people here would have a bit of experience with them and be willing to share their knowledge.

>>3252224
>wanting scanlines

I don't know. Get a CRT?

>>3252224
using wii retroarch just set the video options to 240p or lower. You are probably running interlaced.
