My cheap shitty upscaler stretches out video from my Saturn, so every time I play on my Saturn I have to go into my monitor's settings and manually switch it to 4:3 fill.

Is there a better way to do this? My raspberry pi actually does aspect ratios properly, so I have to switch it back to 16:9 after I play on my Saturn.

Instead of spending $400 on a Framemeister, I'm holding out for the OSSC. Do I just have to deal with my shitty upscaler until the OSSC is ready?

Framemeister is around $300-$350.

OSSC is going to be $250+ shipped. For the assembled one. No sound over HDMI too. Getting that will add to the expense. May need a power supply also.

Both have positive and cons. Framemeister still the best scaler out there. OSSC may past the XRGB-3 as the best line doubler.

Wonder what kind of assembly is involved with the DIY kits? Hell it's probably a FPGA, which I know nothing about anyway let alone mounting and programming the thing. Despite the price tag I'll probably get one or the other eventually.

So I want to play a good PC shooter pre-HL2 (in before >reee not retro, I don't care if it was released in 1999 or 2001). I'm not much of a FPS guy, but I played many of the classics and some console-exclusive ones. I'm asking here because modern FPS suck asses and /v/ has no taste.

this is what I've played (counting PC only, excluding modern games) that I can remember and my ratings:

-Doom I & II(9)
-Quake 2 (7)
-Half-Life (9)
-Deus Ex (10)
-System Shock 2 (8)
-Halo (7)
-Halo 2 (5)
-Alien Trilogy (6)
-Forsaken (4)
-Call of Duty (6)

I know I should play the first Quake, but what else? it's hard to find a list of "best FPS ever" that it's well informed instead of putting the Bioshocks and modern CODs upfront

Quake with its myriad of custom maps and campaigns.

Heretic (and Hexen + Hexen 2 if you liked it)
Shadow Warrior
Unreal
Doom 64 EX
System Shock
The Wheel of Time (not sure if it counts as retro, I don't remember when it was released).

Why is this game over 13 dollars now?

I read once the sprite of Mario on the cover of SMB was taken from Donkey Kong.
Looking at the cover again now, I'm having trouble seeing it. Maybe it's the different colors on Mario's attire that is throwing me off.

So i just played Quake for the first time and it's really fun.
But when I watched some youtube video about it, I realized that the graphics look kinda different.
Did all the vids I watched had the same graphic options, or does my game really look different.
It's pirated btw.

After playing the N64 3d games being so smooth graphically and engine wise I was like what the fuck when I finally tried Tomb Raider. That game was so hyped up and when I played it even on a old ass television it the world looked like a giant fucking puddle of quick sand. And you could barely even jump while moving forward and shit. Having to turn while standing still and shit. What am I missing?

I heard there is a cheat code where you can play as Lara in the nude!!

>>3221864
The controls are for grid-based platforming. Think of Tomb Raider as a 3D cinematic platformer.

What the hell is this shit? I never played it back then and, being a huge fan of the psx titles, always felt a void about having missed it. Now, I just finished the 1st disc and, even if the improvements in gameplay graphics etc are nice, could the story be more vapid and ridiculous? Did they even try? That continuity with RE2 could not be more improvised... where the hell did 'steve' come from? and the ashford character is awful too. What a deception... I now see where the franchise started its downhill.

What are your thoughts on this game?

I was REALLLY into RE2 (I began Resident Evil with that game). I never gave a shit about the story except for what I saw in re2 and then Nemesis I absolutely also loved the gameplay and the story was just as OK.

I finally tried 1 and figured fuck this game sucks balls. I saw the Dreamcast version of Code Veronica come out and always wanted to play it but never got the opportunity when I was younger. A couple years back I got the PS2 version and was wondering what all the hype was about. Like I said I was never into the whole Resident Evil storyline but was expecting at least a similar experience to RE 2 and 3 but damn. Too much fog and the gameplay and environment was not much at all like RE2 and 3. I'm not a hardcore gamer at all but that's my experience.

tl;dr. I was dissapointed when I played it.
>>
>>3221754
Well i too started RE with RE2 and back then i didnt pay much attention to the story either, i just loved the game and the global idea of the story. RE3 was an amazing continuation for it and i also didnt like RE1 when i tried it, only later.

But recently in my retro replaying of them all I did pay attention to the story and there was at least something in them. But fuck, CV just sucks. The whole atmosphere of the psx ones is just gone. Felt like some of those pop survival horror games that started coming out after RE became popular.

>could the story be more vapid and ridiculous? Did they even try?

Different writers are tasked with a few weeks to come up with the story to a sequel.

Capcom's model is to pump out tons of games as fast as possible. not wait until it's a good time to make a new game because you have some good ideas.

1) why is it called Tetris attack when it isn't anything like Tetris?

2) What makes Panel de pon/puzzle league/attack different from games like bejeweled and candy crush? Is it because it only utilizes two boxes rather than a series of boxes?

>>3221584

1) Almost certain it was for name recognition sales. People know and like Tetris. People don't know "Panel De Pon" and might be more hesitant to buy it.

2) The big differences are that in Tetris Attack, you can swap blocks while other blocks are in the process of disappearing, which you can't do in Bejeweled and which makes the most difficult part of Tetris Attack, that being chaining, possible, and new blocks don't come in from the top, but from the bottom, so you always know exactly what you can work with at a given moment in the game - combos very rarely just happen randomly like they can do in Bejeweled when blocks just happen to fall down in the right way.

Did anyone else out there get screwed by 99gamers? They disallowed listing games. People still have coins tied up in the site. People are shipping games and receiving coins they'll never be able to use. Worse thing is they were selling discounted coins over the holidays, out of greed, and it caused inflation. I would love to ruin their TYDY app in the appstore because nobody has heard from them.
