EWJ2 was fun, but the stages had way too many gimmicks for me.
Would you call either of the 3D Lemmings games at least "good for its time"?
There was a 3D Lemmings?
>>3240805
I loved it when I was a kid, so it was good for "my time". I don't know if I'd like it if I went back to it, though.

How was retro gaming in Latin America?
In Mexico, we grew playing Nintendo consoles, we even had a Nintendo TV show:

>How was retro gaming in Latin America?
Piracy.
In Santiago of Chile you can go to paseo las palmas (Not sure if it's called that anymore) and find a shit ton of stores selling chipped ps2, chipped psx and homebrewed wiis. And some Gameboy Advance games as well
Could the retro gaming market be facing a similar situation to the comic market in the 1990s, where speculators have caught wind of how valuable certain cartridges are and are now buying up as many retro game cartridges as possible in hopes of collecting a fat return on them a few years down the road? I used to be able to find great bargains at places like Goodwill but now whenever they have something even remotely good, they always want the eBay price for it, and the ebay prices on retro games have been skyrocketting over the last few years.
Are we facing a future where unless you began collecting before the hobby got contaminated with people looking for the next gold rush, the only viable way to play retro games on original hardware will be flash carts?
Will there come a point where scalpers have driven up the cost of the hardware itself until it's no longer viable for anyone but serious collectors, because something like an NES or SNES will be in the three-figure price range? At that point it would be emulation or bust.

>Could the retro gaming market be facing a similar situation to the comic market in the 1990s,
Yes, and what happened to the prices of all of those comics the speculator market overpriced?
>>3235448
Lots of shelf collectors, or people who just buy the games to have them on their shelf and don't intend on playing them, are just buying them to try to retire off of them in 10-20-30 years.
They've totally ruined a hobby. These games were not worth much and were considered old junk just 5-10 years ago. Now they are insanely valuable.
>>3235448
When something that's not worth the price increases too far, it busts.
It's called a bubble.
What was the hardest star in this game and why was it the Hazy Maze Cave 100 coin star?
>>3231218
It's not hard, just tedious as fuck. Hazy Maze in general is a shitty stage. Mostly due to camera flipping out on you in closed environments.
Shifting sand lands 100 coin star is harder due to instadeath quicksand.
>>3231234
i guess so. but one time i collected the last coin from the maze emergency exit mesh - the only string of coins left in the level - and the star appeared above the mesh completely inaccessible. then i stopped playing for a while.
last time i played through mario 64 the last stars i needed were the tick tock clock 100 stars and something from rainbow ride, i forgot but it was a pain in the ass
>>3231218
>>3231234
I agree that the game has not aged well and is overrated 2bh, but there's no real challenge in the 100-coin stars. Coin max scores is where it's at
Hey, /vr/ what are some good rare Saturn games, or hell, just any good Saturn gems in general?
>pic related because RSG is goat

I'm going to recommend Asuka 120% limitover Burning fest, I never see people talking about it but it's a fantastic fighting game and surprisingly very technical.
What's a better entry point into Might and Magic? 3 or World of Xeen?
cant go wrong with either, my man.
I would go with isles though
>>3253567
Dark Messiah
Okay so I started Might and Magic 3 and I'm trying to figure out how to switch to MT-32 sound instead of soundblaster shit raping my ears. Anyone have any experience with this?
Is there any place online I can read all of the old Nintendo Power issues? I'd love to read them but I don't want to spend a boat load of money on them. Thanks.
EMUparadise has a Magazines/Comics section. A shit ton o' goodies.
>>3253338
They're all CBR files which I hate. Is there any easy way to convert them all into PDF's?

GOD DAMMIT I JUST WANT A REPLACEMENT OF THE FOLDOUT POSTER MY CAT TORE UP
What is the worst that could happen if i solder this chip to my jvc model 2 32 pin sega saturn?
What is it, if I can ask?
I think that will play nice with it if you don't fuck it up.
Just remember to region patch games before playing if you don't have an action replay.
>>3253126
Nothing because it's missing the chip.
hello, sorry if this belongs more in /v/ but I was wondering if there were other games than FFT and to some extent tactics ogre that employed old-timey or verbose english in their dialogue?
I find that the extra effort makes them very engaging but mostly it's just cool.
The translation of FFT for WotL was sickeningly verbose trash. The PSX translations, with all of its Engrish, is superior to "Magicks"
That said, what you're looking for is referred to as "purple prose". Tvtropes has a sample of games that feature it.

Does anybody here own a 3DO? What games would you recommend for the 3DO?
>>3252807
The game where you throw it in the trash. Love that one.
gex is the only good 3do game, but it is also on the psx, pc, and saturn
inb4 how dusty my shit is
Alone in The Dark
Doctor Hauser
Slayer
Guardian War
Lucienne's Quest
Star Control II
Flashback
Escape From Monster Manor
Immercenary
Robinson's Requiem
It's not a bad system, unlike most of the consoles it's always grouped with it just only got games for a short window.

What does vr think of retropie? I just got mine set up and played a good hour of FF Tactics
pi shills pls go
>>3252304
Pretty convenient, I use retroarch directly with Arch Linux but it's functionally similar. Only thing I had to do is change the CPU governor because Snes9x Next confused it.
Wow a good hour of FF:T now you're totally one of us
Fuck off
For a long while, I thought I had dreamed up this Fucking game. I barely see anything about it, so I need to know if anyone else touched this game st all!
My sister played it a lot back in the day.
I don't remember much other than animated cutscenes, some flying animal mascot thing, some custscene where a chick throws an axe at MC because he saw her naked, and it being kind of actiony but slow-ish
I got it off ebay a few years ago. Played it. Completely average in every way. Sold it on ebay a while later.
I rented it from West Coast Video back in the 90's once. It didn't really hold my interest, and I never even got through the first dungeon before dropping it entirely.
For some reason I remember the battle mechanics being very similar to Vagrant Story. Maybe it's worth another shot...
What is the best port of Final Fight
No Patrick, the original arcade version is not a port.
>>3251815
GBA version is surprisingly awesome.
>>3251815
Mega/Sega CD
Awesome soundtrack and a cool challenge mode.
