honestly you'd be better off just finding a second hand CRT with better input options, even a pretty basic one. The picture from that will be pretty weak, you're right though, it'd still be better than a modern lcd tv.

>>3206172
Right I get that CRTs are better, that's why I have two of them. I was just curious about it from the stance of big-screen gaming when friends are over, just point it at the wall so no one can complain about a 27" TV or such. Looking to see if anyone has insight on this before I drop $40, who knows it might have hellacious input latency, even if it's marketed to "gamers"

>>3206156
I got 480p one, its nice for retro games and old TV shows. Brightness is really bad tho, you'll need a dark room

>>3205992
is the Playstation version ok?

>>3205992
iirc sectopods are vulnerable to lasers? but i dont remember there being gauss weapons in the original, so you are probably on a modded version? at which point who knows if any of the traditional strengths and weaknesses i only half-remember still apply at all

>>3205992
also by god do not let pros handle the scene while leaving rookies to sit. if a higher-ranked person bites the dust its ruinous for the morale of lower-ranked ones, you could have a plane half-full of panicking rookies murdering each other if even one of the experienced troopers goes down. some people have their single highest-rank soldier hang back or sit in the skyranger for this reason, to minimize the risk they'll die and ruin the rest of the team's morale

if a rookie is sent on a mission this is their trial by fire. send those rookies in! but take note if they get mindfucked. if they survive the mission you should consider firing them anyways, you cant afford to be wasting equipment and a seat in the plane on someone without good natural psi resistance.

you should also review newly-hired recruits for critical stats such as accuracy and bravery, bravery especially is hard to raise by field experience, and someone who starts off with shit accuracy is unlikely to be able to gain any field experience either. fire such sub-standard recruits and get a fresh batch

if you need money to be able to handle this kind of turnover consider manufacturing and selling shit, i recall laser cannons had a good profit margin but who knows how it is in your version

Het is super bad for electronics bro. You're looking at serious stress on electrolytic capacitors, warped discs, brittle plastics...

I live in the northwest. It's probably gonna be about 100 at the hottest during the hottest days of the summer. You think it's still too hot?

I know it's not the greatest place to store them but just was hoping someone else had any experience storing them in similar places.

Blue Shift wasn't designed as an expansion, it was originally a third campaign in the Dreamcast / PS2 version along with Decay I think.

I see your point. But I think it comes down to Enemy/Weapon diversity vs. Level design. I'd also add game length because it is a very significant difference right there.

I can't offer an unbiased opinion because Blue Shift was the first Half-Life game I played. I love the game. Dearly. From the bottom of my heart. I've loved Opposing Force and I've loved Half-Life (which of course turned to be my favourite), but Blue Shift is like my first love who did nothing wrong and yet it could only give so much.

A bit more objectively, I'd say I enjoyed Opposing Force more on the long run. The new weapons are really fun to play with. Race X are actually rather boring by the end of the game, but dammit Shock Troopers can kick your ass in Hard. The diverse soldiers you can team up with is also quite interesting and it adds a little something. Not that meaningful considering the AI (advanced as it was for its time) but still it was a nice touch. The really underwhelming part was the final boss fight. Unnecessary is what I'd call it. Although the final scene with G-Man makes up for it.

Blue Shift is, on the other hand, a reduced Half-Life experince in every way. Game length, enemy-weapon diversity, story, etc. All are reduced to bare bones and a little less, I'd say. As you've mentioned Blue Shift has interesting level design. The whole railway stages are pretty intense. I remember as a kid I had a save file right before entering the first railway station in the open and I would play those stages over and over again.

I think I could make a point of Blue Shift being too little butter over too little bread, and Opposing Force having almost the same amount of bread as Half-Life but spread with margerine and sugar. Not quite the same as bread and butter, but still good on its own.

Also as a final note Blue Shift comes with the High Definition pack that I tend to prefer over the vanilla Half-Life. I know, I may be crazy but I grew up with it, sue me.

>>3205338
You think right.

They both had the trappings of the entire HL series -- linear style-over-substance setpiece-based FPS where you go from one little designed section to overcome to another.

Incredible how people will deride Halo as being a horrible, derivative shooter but put fucking Half-Life on a pedestal.

robo aleste and android assault are pretty boss.

Really want to region mod my mega cd so I can play lunar etc but i'm not sure how to do it.

Welcome to 4chan

Maybe try Everquest

It's not worth it. They're infested with slavs and sugarcane noggs.

The only way to do it is if you have a group of buddies. Since clans also are basically a thing of the past.

>>3205123
been going here for a while, I just don't have many images on this computer

>>3205126
slavs and sugarcane noggs don't really bother me much, so i'm still interested

save your money for your wife's sons college

What's supposed to come with a 32X, it's got it's own power supply right? Anything else?

I'd say 32x, better games than the CD imo. The Everdrive is compatible with the 32x iirc (correct me if I'm wrong), so you'd have all the games you need right out of the box.

I agree but there is just something about his shitty over the top designs that I like.

In shmups that don't have turbo as standard, probably always.

That doesn't stop me though. If there was a way to keep the game as difficult as intended without pressing hundreds of times a minute, I'd go with that, but for now I'd rather not have RSI.

>>3203735
>I'd rather not have RSI
Seconded. Who gives a fuck if you're just playing by yourself?

>>3203752

Even at this time, people are playing KoF 98.

Where is the new version with snes games added to the active list

>>3203592
They're making that? I would play the shit out of TMNT Tournament Fighters online.

I can't take this video seriously at all, I can't stop laughing someone has a puppet YouTube channel......I like it.

GIT GUD.

Been a while since I worried about Hammer Bros. in old SMB, but in not-retro Mario Maker, I typically stand close to one, wait for the three hammer throw, then quickly jump on it.

Good magazine adverts too.


I liked how the targeting worked in the series.

The SF trilogy is great, I play it all the time, it's a thousand times better than modern shooters.

A poor man's Metal Gear that has become completely forgotten as a franchise.

>>3202808
You're right, they're pretty awful. The only value is nostalgia. But at the time the first few were unique, ground-breaking, immersive and all sort of other things.

In 30 years there will be kids online saying how the Elder Scrolls series had no good games.

In 30 years time maybe Bethesda can do ladders
