So they can write character bioses and talk about feminism?

>>3208882

these days HG101 is more focused on articles for shitty modern indie faux-retro games

>>3208882

NO. That site has gone to absolute shit and only exists to produce bullshit clickbait "Articles" that frame every single aspect of a game or a franchise of games to modern socioeconomic trends ('MUH FEMINISM" "MUH PRIVLIGDGE") or completely shit on gaming franchises (See: Their Brandish articles).

ARCADE >>>>>>>>> SLOW ASS SNES, LOW QUALITY GENESIS, TG-16 LITERALLY WHO

The only console from that generation that comes close to real game experience is the Neo-Geo.

why do the prerender graphics of the 90s look very low/gay

>>3208631
Because time is linear, anon

>>3208631
Why did people in the 60s play music on records when CDs have so much better sound quality?

>>3205323
yes

>>3205323
No.

>>3205323
Nah

Wanted to play more of it, but unfortunately the game gives me severe motion sickness, so I've only played the first bit of it.

>>3205113
only the first dungeon is any fun to go through and the rest of the game is disappointing. it would be very fondly remembered if it wasn't "precedurally generated" garbage. combat is amazing, spells are fucking cool, even shit like bartering was fun because you find stuff around the store and all of this with weird abilities like the ability to speak to dragons and to create weaknesses for yourself. such a waste of good potential, hope daggerxl leads to some great fan total conversions (and not just porting other games like morrowind or whatever else to the engine)

I dont think I ever got past more than 4 story missions.

However I spent 100s of hours exploring the bay.

I played it, it is really great, like a gotta go fast Megaman.

Does it have any major flaws? Do you have to be autistic in order to enjoy it?

>>3204957
Biggest flaw is that if you hold left and right you teleport at infinite speed to the left. Since it's technically only possible to do on a keyboard, not on gamepads some programmers forgot to put a check to prevent stuff like that from happening. Another game that had a similar flaw was Zelda LttP when going through doors hold up+down and Tiny Toons 1 on NES.

>>3204831
Moon Crystal looks better, but Mr. Gimmick has the best physics of any NES game for sure.

>>3204831
Batman. Also by Sunsoft.

If you want the most fun, you might want a lot of spellcasters. Multiclasses seem useful too. You could also try dual classing, say at level 4 or so, but you'd really want to look at the experience tables, druids and thieves have that working to their favour for dualing *to*.

For combat, bows are highly advantaged, they work particularly well for rogues. Though of course there's many classes who can't use them, but then they have slings. Spellwise:magic missile, animate dead for clerics, image and blur for fighter mages.

>>3204370
I actually quite fancy doing Cleric, is it fun? Also, what would be best to multiclass with?

Best to multiclass with is illusionists.

Clerics and druids, besides being kinda crucial to have at least one of the two, are very enjoyable to have more of, they cast spells, and large amounts, but won't put a strain on the scroll supply, because they don't need to find spells to learn them.

If you don't know Japanese then most of the games are unplayable. There are some neat options if you don't know it but not that many. I'd say buy one only for the novelty and maybe for a unique port or two, unless you can read moon, in which case it's got some interesting things worth going for.

>>3204119
>is x worth collecting for?
That stupid question again. Why don't you just see for yourself? A full romset for that thing is like 200mb.

>or is it mostly weebshit that isn't interesting unless you're the type of person who knows Japanese?
Why are you people even on this site?

Gonna be honest, I'm a little disappointed that webm isn't playing the music. It would have been perfect.

At the very least give 6 a try, it's definitely the highlight of the retro series.

You're only getting to the best part. Honestly, 1-3 are very archaic if you're not a JRPG buff in the first place, and IV is just overrated garbage.

V is the best game in the series however, and VI and VII are iconic for a reason. Keep playing.

6 is GOAT but 5 is second GOAT because of the class system. 7 was revolutionary because it's "three-dee" but after that the series takes a plunge and really gets away from the medieval setting with knights and wizards and stuff. I mean 7 already did with the cars and stuff, but whatever, at the time it wasn't the norm yet.

Prehistorik Man.

I mean, seriously the game is so pleasantly beautiful and has so much style that I sincerely don't understand how is it not even metioned often. The soundtrack is competent, flows well with the humor of the game. Its also quite long for a platfomer of its time (IF you play on normal mode) and the fact that it actually has a plot and several different characters involved in the story makes it a lot more interesting.

The only thing that I would complain is the fact that the controls aren't good enough for pixel perfect platforming which the game does require every once in a while (usually in the first levels and in some parts after the second boss). Otherwise, its playability is quite satisfying and has lots of variety too.

There's also a version for good old DOS, Prehistorik II, which is actually the first one I played. Its very fun as well, but I must say the console version really improved it in every aspect.

>>3193362
Wow, I haven't seen this game since I was in second grade. What a blast from the past.

Never gets old.

Yeah its weird. I always thought MK4 was popular?

>>3185140
It has the cutest Sonya and lightning fast gameplay. The weapons are useless, don't pick them.
