This is more out of curiosity but do you guys think cartridge based games are still gonna be playable 20 years from now?

Im mainly thinking of old Gameboy games or SNES games

I'd assume they are much more likely to work than disc based games.

Just take care of them - use dust covers and clean them occasionally, and they'll continue to work just fine. The only thing you really need to worry about is the battery dying, and that's an easy enough fix.

and metal/cap corrosion
and the chips getting fucked up through a routine shock of electricity

they'll last as long as you can replace the components on the boards/you don't let corrosion take over.

Just bought this CD-I 450 for 3€.

It came with the a/c adapter, DVC and the game 7th Guest.

So what is the best controller for this thing? Are there even 3rd party controllers? I can't find any on ebay.
Any worthwhile games?

Get a Genesis pad and an adaptor.

In terms of good games: The Apprentice, Tetris, and Hotel Mario (yeah the cutscenes are terrible but the game is fine).
>>
Unfortunately a decent gamepad is extremely hard to come by. There's one that's pretty similar to a 3DO pad and one that's exactly like a classic Gravis gamepad. When either one pops up it goes for $50 or more.

The other option is the straight up terrible paddle controller that was the standard "remote" for the thing. I've pretty much decided I'm going to have to buy one of these and mod it into an arcade stick of I ever get the time to play my CDi that I bought in a similar situation to yours.

How do you use permanent stat increasing items? Do you boost someone who has a weak stat or give it to someone who has a strong stat? I can never decide so I end up hoarding them.
51 posts and 9 images submitted.
>>
I normally give it to somebody with the strong stat. Usually if somebody has a weak stat I'm probably not using that stat much anyway, so I might as well boost the character who does use it. The exception would be health. Everybody could do with more health.
>>
Give it to the one that can use it the most. No point in raising a stat that has no use. Obviously there are factors to consider like how long you have a party member, how much is left until you reach a maximum or whether the raise gets undone by a class change.
>>
>>3181554
I always give it to the person that could benefit most from it. If I have a potion that increases Strength, I'm going to give it to my Warrior. That seems like a no brainer.

It's the others, like a Health Increase, that become more of a puzzle. If I notice one of my characters is significantly lower than the rest more often, then I'll probably give it to them.

Most of the time, when you find these kind of items they're a sort of hidden thing, anyway. So it really doesn't go to waste, as long as someone uses it.

because casuals and muh controls

It was more accessible than Super Shinobi, and the last stages weren't that tight in the jumps. And that labyrinth in the very last stage would drive you insane in the first playthroughs. I honestly love both of them.

What were your favorite parts of this game?

The feeling I get when I think back on it is just how great the world building was. I miss it a lot and I'm considering replaying it. Even with how dated it was, there's something I love so much about that OOT and MM aesthetic, the graphics are really dated but there's something so charming about it that warms my cynical heart.

I only played it for the first time 2 years ago, but it really stuck with me.

>Favorite transformations

Zora > Goron > Deku

Design wise the deku one is definitely the best, and I think it's a brilliant beginning to the game by being withholding with the protagonists turning the player into a sad little deku scrub. I also love the running animation and the little sound it makes.

Zora on the other hand made The Great Bay my favorite part of the whole game. I know some find it a grind to collect the eggs, but the mask contributes the most in terms of gameplay switch-up by far, making Majoras Mask probably the only game with actual fun swimming mechanics, best part about it is it's actually aged well too. The temple was fantastic too, and so was the boss. I've never really heard much from fans of this game in terms of what people think of The Great Bay Temple, but I loved the shit out of it.

Garage sale/Flea Market/Thrift store pickups/hauls.
Post em here, because it's that's time of year!
Sun is shining, people putting up signs, and mothers getting rid of their sons video games.
Went to a local thrift where I rarely find games and say a fucked up Dreamcast for $5 along with an assortment of controllers.
Ended up finding a bunch of NES/SNES/N64/Genesis games. Many of them were beat up, sport games, or games I already owned, but ended up with pic related for $6.
I've definitely had better days, but it's nice getting decent games for cheap.

I hadn't had a decent retro find in months until a couple of weeks ago when I scored this lot for $20. Maybe I'll get lucky at the flea market again tomorrow.

I haven't seen the pinball thread here for awhile.

This is the lineup at my local arcade
>Creature from the Black Lagoon
>Iron Man
>Funhouse
>Theater of Magic
>Whirlwind
>Pinbot
>The Walking Dead
>Star Trek: The Next Generation

Creature and Trek were just added yesterday, and Creature is probably my favorite 90s pinball. What's yours?

Ghostbusters looks like it's going to be a pretty rockin' 90s pinball. Trudeau game like Judge Dredd. Actual interactive toys and a subway. Hand-drawn art.

Hard to be the best pinball of the '90s when you've got lightning flippers.

I wasn't sure exactly what it was that turned me off of old RPGs at first, but then after playing Dragon Quest 1 and finishing it vs playing Dragon Quest 3 and burning out I realized.

I fucking HATE fighting more than 1 enemy at a time.
Multiple enemies becomes a fucking slog. 1 enemy is the perfect number.

What are other RPGs that only have 1 enemy at a time besides DQ1?

Let's discuss Squaresoft games other than Final Fantasy. Nothing against FF, but FF threads are a dime a dozen.

I just beat pic related last night and liked it quite a bit, though I thought the battle system could have used some work. How does the sequel compare?

Xenogears was Squaresoft IIRC. Xenogears was good, second disc a bit less maybe but still good.

Basically it's a completely different game, which is the way sequels should be.

The sequel is almost completely different. You know, the way sequels used to be.

What are some good 4-person N64 games?
Having some people over and I figured we could play N64 games (or PS2 or whatever, really) instead of just drinking and watching netflix until we get bored and disband.
Mario Kart and Mario Party have already been vetoed.
