literally any game ported to the zx spectrum

that said if i was a lil kid with a zx spectrum over in europe growing up i'd shit my pants with happiness to have ports like this at home. sadly i'm too young and also american to have grown up with the zx spectrum. there's a beautiful charm to it all but you can't deny it sucks ass.

Honestly? It ain't that bad

>he actually misses Superman 64
Aww. Believe me when I say a lot of people wanted this game to be good. I was expecting something cool and got something really really different. Game is unexpectedly glitchy.

There's said to be a completely redone PS1 version by another developer but it never got released. A shame really. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Wm4DtkdrG0

>>3221172
As a kid though I just worked around and with the glitches as they happened. I was blissfully unaware of how bad the game was. yeah i stuck in walls sometimes or characters would disappear or I'd randomly die. but to me that was part of the challenge. I was such a sucker then

pricecharting currently values a loose copy at 7 dollars. You wouldn't be breaking the bank if you really want it back, OP.

Didn't play many of these, but I had a good time playing Pirate Adventure on the Atari 800 with my younger brother when we were kids.
Never finished Adventureland because it was a lot harder.

Know anywhere where I can download Zork code in C++?

Honeslty I think you're best bet would be to just check in at the Doom General, but good luck in finding what you need.

Mod support is broken in Megaton. Get original GRP files.

>Is this a good tablet for RetroArch?
Considering nVidia has sent them hardware on several occasions fore dev purposes, i'd imagine so.
I'm thinking about picking up one for myself.

>>3221425
Well most people on 4chan tend to shit on Android when it comes to emulation, so I thought I'd ask this board just to be safe.

Figured that it certainly has the specs along with the right resolution to let me use shaders in RetroArch.

>>3221425
Really? Source? I believe you, but I wouldn't have imagined RA is high profile enough to be getting free hardware.

Literally any Android phone will run anything up to PS1 games fine. The only problem is touch controls.

I suggest a Note 4 or a Nexus 6 because you can get them for cheap now. Don't get that sloped screen gimmicky shit.

>>3220996
If you want something dedicated to emulation you can carry around, you should buy a PSP, it's cheap, and it's extremely easy to put emulators on it.

If you needed a new phone anyway, any Android could do.

JXD s5800 is mainly an android gaming handheld, but it also doubles as a phone. Since it's designed with constant gaming in mind, battery lifetime in phone usage is actually quite good. Can play All PS1, and half of the N64 libraries without issue. Attempt Dreamcast at your own risk.

>>3220962
No you just haven't played much games of this type.

>>3220962
Is Ikaruga the ultimate shitpost bait?

>>3221002
Pretty much yeah.

3 is amazing. Cannot recommend it enough. Haven't played the others but I am excited for the mobile release of RS2 which is apparently the best in the series

If you are going to play the first one then play the PS2 remake. Yes it is a good series of games that reaches from the Gameboy and onward. My favorites are Final Fantasy Legend II, SaGa Frontier, and Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song.

The mechanics aren't traditional JRPG mechanics so that can turn people off from the series.

Don't grind. Don't fucking grind. Don't do it! Are you listening to me, you little punk! Don't fucking grind!

>where does a guy go to buy replacement cap kits
Any capacitor is good these days. Just go to an electronics store and get the ones you need

>how to git gud at soldering
Practice, practice practice. I taught 10 year old kids how to solder in an electronics summer course with these kits and they all got it pretty well.

Console5.com has cap kits for many consoles.
They're local for me and have pages on where each cap goes.

Dont buy cap kits unless you want to overpay.

look around to see if you have a local electronics supply store. Buy them there if you do. Way cheaper than online, assuming theyre not completly ripping everyone off, due to the price of caps. That or figure out what you need and buy in bulk, what you need now and extras for later. Shipping kills the usual cheapness of buying online. It sucks needing $2 worth of caps and having to pay $8 for shipping.

You're trying to confuse people on purpose by using a numbering scheme that nobody bloody uses, aren't you? I was able to decipher your shit but how about you just use the actual titles next time.

Wonder Boy in Monster World is the best.

Agreed, Monster World is the most polished, with pleasantly drawn, colorful graphics and comfy music. Dragons Trap is good, but it's a little rough compared to Monster World.

>tfw there will never be a Monster World V

Adding in the extra audio channels didn't change the Genesis' sound, besides adding in more wiggle room to have the drums be PSG samples.
If your expecting something dramatically different from the stock Genesis, then your not getting it here.

That said, Cosmic Carnage, Tempo and Knuckles Chaotix are probably the best sounding games on the system.

I've prepared for this moment my entire life.

>>3220637
I just beat the Mechanical age, it was my first. but now I'm back and stumped.

Are you playing the original Myst? I'm on RealMyst ME and it's amazing.

Every gen has games with shitty controls.

Some 2600 games were unresponsive. Just like Amiga, C64, NES, SNES, Genesis, and any other system you can think of.

There is a point where even shitty controls were pretty decent, I think that's between the SNES/N64 era.

>>3220546
When did shit controls become acceptable? QTE games?

>>3220548
Not acceptable, just generally playable. Shit controls are still shit controls. They detract from the overall game, but at least they were somewhat playable.

>>3220489

You just have to dig deeper down the rabbits hole.

>>3220494
so that's your polite version of "no spoonfeeding faggot!!"

eh.. this board is too slow for me to stick around but i'll try

>>3220497

It's better slow, once you get used to it, you'll prefer it that way.
