It's actually ok for early games. Gets hairy with later games though.

Think of all the games you're missing out on: Mario, the list goes on...

You're gonna hate me, but I only liked the first 3D Ninja Gaiden on Xbox. The NES games just felt like generic platformers of the time.

wow i want to be the guy ripped off this game

Me, although I still played the shit out of Doom 1 and 2 as well.

>being a mono-genre fag

*yawn*

The game was developed for the PS2 and it actually uses a lot of polygons to make the graphics. Yes, even if the game looks 3D, it was programmed as a 3D game with flat textured polygons. (there's also some visible ones like the coffin on the save room, for example).

The Saturn port was made from the PS1 version, it's not that they both were being developed at the same time. The port was made by a small team within Konami, not the same dev team from the PS1 version.

Compare virtually any other multiplat, especially ports from arcade to console, and 99% of the time it will be better on Saturn.

You should have learned to keep back up saves

I though I didn't need it, I didn't need it for 6,7 or 9 or even Chrono Trigger for that matter

Plays more like FFT than the original.

More equipment slots, and not limited to 4 slots total for weapons, gear and items.

Items are just a standard item pool like in FFT or a traditional JRPG.

You need class marks to use a class, so you can't just have like 10 terror knights unless you have 10 terror knight marks to do so.

Then theres a different translation which is kind of a take it or leave it thing, some are going to hate it, some will prefer it.

I dunno if it's better or worse, but it's the same game with a bit of nice changes, and some less nice changes.

>>3177357
Cheers m8, I was just curious because I already know to avoid the PSP port of FFT.

ehhh, sometimes I prefer the simplicity of the SNES version
they added a lot of stuff but the game felt like a mixed bag imo
the biggest improvement the psp version made was letting the player run from battles or completely avoid them

Throwing in many many questions, using underage discussion points like how some other underages call other "enthusiasts" and hoping for discussion/replies.. please go back to /v/ or some other kindergarten.

I would actually say that Apple/Mac gaming was superior to Intel/IBM PC gaming up until a certain year.

Perhaps '90 or '91 is when PC surpassed Mac in terms of gaming. And this is if you don't mind the dank monochrome games on Mac.
Which year do you guys think PC gaming eclipsed Mac/Apple gaming?

I know that PC equalized to Amiga in 92 and surpassed Amiga in 93.

Mac gaming was always lesser quality and quantity than Eurocomps let alone Nipcomps, to say nothing of consoles.

I had a Mac growing up, or it was my mom's, in the early '90s. It was a Performa model, that was one of the very first computers with a CD-ROM drive. There were very few Mac games back then, and there were even less Mac-only games or ones that came out on the platform first. The few that I can think of are the original MacVenture games such as Shadowgate, Uninvited, and Deja Vu I and II. Also there was the Cyan titles like Myst and the earlier ones. Spelunx and Cosmic Osmo were like Myst from what I can remember, but were mostly black and white graphics and they didn't really have a way to "beat" them; it was just about messing around and wandering around and discovering things. Also there were vaguely educational in nature. There was another game before that, Manhole, but that one was intended for young children if I remember correctly. It was still a bit similar to Myst though, as in it was made of a bunch of static screens that you wander between and the game was created with Hypercard. Of course it didn't have Quicktimes videos like Myst did though.

Also, I had that LucasArts Volume I adventure game pack for Macintosh CD which was pretty awesome, but that was ported over from the PC of course. What was pretty cool is that in Day of the Tentacle, there still was the hidden game-within-a-game of Maniac Mansion, same as the PC version. But what was crazy about it is that when porting it over, which I think was done almost if not entirely by one guy, he had to write his own DOS emulator for Macintosh just to get Maniac Mansion to run on the old computer that Bernard repeatedly has to use, just like with the PC port. Must've been a pretty smart and devoted programmer to have done that. I would have figured that most anyone else wouldn't have bothered trying to get Maniac Mansion to work as it was just basically an Easter egg in the game.

Love the soundtrack. Sorta hate how confusing it gets towards the end with the sun-stone-shrine full of existing characters, the dark Ark outta nowhere and the bittersweet ending.

Terranigma is one of my favorite games ever. Some people think it loses its charm after you resurrect humans, but that's one of my favorite parts.

>the dark Ark outta nowhere
You mean Light Ark? I thought that was foreshadowed well enough. As soon as you find the princess and Storkholm, and other people who look and act like the townsfolk from Crysta, it becomes pretty obvious that there must be another Ark somewhere in the surface world. I was more surprised by his role than by his existence. The first time I played, I assumed he would be one of the bad guys.

game loses steam sadly

it was so unique and good

>>3164368
Eh, they mostly have ticket games and shit like Guitar Hero Arcade there now. There's a reason why strictly gaming arcades died out; they just aren't popular anymore.

Cedar Point's arcade is pretty dope tho, shouts out to /vr/ct

Last I checked in one a few years back they didn't have anything retro.

Had the later House of the Dead and Time Crisis though. Were the highlights.

The one in Palisades plaza had a large area just for Battletech Firestorm Pods. Was pretty fucking neat. Think it's gone now.

That place hasn't had retro games for awhile though.

>>3164379
Battletech centers were the shit

I dont see an problems with your screen.

>>3179060
alot of people on vr say you gotta either get an upscaler or use a crt

For the love of god do NOT hit ANY button while taking down the password in this game.

It was really good

Most people were disappointed with it and for good reason - donkey kong just doesn't translate well into a 3D environment in the same vein as mario. I think most people felt that it tried to emulate mario 64's success but felt short. Not a bad game by any means, but not a great one either.

Not as beloved as the SNES ones (at least 1 and 2), but had good reception.

Can I just buy a cheap game instead? If I know I have to give it back eventually I can't enjoy it.
