I recall back in the day i was in love with pokemon yellow. As many teenagers in my day, both pokemon games and anime was hot, people from your class that you had almost nothing in common were talking to you about their pokemons, you could met people by simply starting a pokemon conversation if you saw they were playing the game.
But i don't recall ever been so hyped when the commercials for Gold/Silver were on TV. In this era of Skyrim/Minecraft, it may sound strange, but pokemon for me represented the ultimate rpg experience in which travelling and living adventures could match no rival.
Everyday, while i was having breakfast, before going to school, there was one pokemon Gold commercial and it made you feel like a big world full of life and events and adventures were awaitting you.
Nowdays you have sandbox games, which in some way they inherit the spirit of those RPGs, but at the same time they are so different. Do children nowdays experience the hype and awe that we got for Pokemon? I swear there is a lot to be learnt from the Pokemon saga, and seams like no game developer falls to see that.

It's a slow board.
Anyway, there are still kids hype about Pokemon. You don't think plenty of them are jumping on that Pokemon Sun and Moon shit as soon as it hits?

What is it that you want? Everyone played fucking Pokemon, most of us still like it and there's an entire board on this site for it.

Well, did she find the pie?
Let me guess, she had to touch the north wall, then the south, kill at least one of the Blue Knights, and then use the candle while facing the south wall to find it.

Let's talk about some games for the greatest retro console out there.

I was thinking of buying a NES about a year ago but since then prices have literally doubled. People are trying to charge £50 upwards for the console only, no wires and chips/yellowing all over. Boxed consoles with wires are going for £150, three times the price I paid for one for my friend's birthday a while back. I honestly don't see any end to this.
>>
Not calling you one, but why do retro posers always pick the Nes as the best thing ever?
>>
>>3251559
It's a legitimate great console with lots of classics.
If you're gonna pose, do it right.

I remember Orochi being a tough battle, but I don't remember what strategy I used.
I think my party was Hero, Sage, Warrior, Cleric, if that's of any help.

I wish there was more art of the DQ classes, like from 6 and 7. FF classes get tons of art but because in DQ you never see your characters in battle no one bothers to draw art.

Anyone know how to compile Project 64 from source? The already-compiled installer comes with malware that you have to opt-out of, and I don't truely trust that you can *really* opt-out of it. This can be avoided by compiling Project 64 yourself. Unfortunately, I have zero experience compiling anything in Windows (only limited experience in Linux using make files).

i think 1.7 is better than 2 with our without the malware

Download VS Community edition, I suppose. Or maybe you need GCC. Either way, google compiling software on windows.

Did limits and restrictions make old games better?

Not in every aspect, but often limitations meant perfecting your skills, doing your best even if there were limits, molding yourself to it.
That was the philosophy of many legendary game designers like Tokuro Fujiwara.
>>
Some limits are better. For example, when fighting games made the transition to 3D graphics, they largely became much less animated and fun to look at. We'll never get another game with the variety of Darkstalkers or MvC2, even.

Play the vastly superior PSP version. No load times, better menus, higher resolution, no slowdown and it adds in the saturn extras. It truly is the best version of the game. It's called Dracula X Chronicles

>>3249445
You'll need to unlock SOTN by finding the game icon in Dracula X as its not immediately available.

Anyone have any memories with getting those magnifiers/lights back in the day? It really did improve the gameboy experience quite a bit, as dated as it looks.
Was there ever such a thing for the Game Gear too? Everyone knows the TV tuner of course.

I remember feeling like the joystick was a big help for Link's Awakening, and or course playing in the dark while your parents were sleeping was a huge novelty back then, but in retrospect it was kind of a trashy peripheral. I soon moved on to just using the Worm Light exclusively.

yeah, the official one was the super/wide gear. and the super was fully shrouded, there were a few third party lens only ones. there was also the battery pack, and the power back.
