No there's not.

recca your face

is there a more over rated shmup than recca?

I probably prefer it. The whole mid-east vibe fits better with the DDP family than it does with Mario characters. It also bugged me that the grass was made red in SMB2 (which is arguably more interesting than the original's immobile black clumps), but they left the tufts at the top of the veggies as black.

I will admit, though, that some of my preference might be due to younger me being highly fascinated with DDP as the real Mario 2. Pretty sure it was the primary reason that I bought a Disk System back in the very early 2000s.

DID YOU KNOW SMB2 is my least favourite entry in the series?

Alladin for either Mega Drive, or SNES.

I unironically like A Bug's Life for the PS.

Also I can't believe the film came out 16 years ago holy fuck

>>3115148
You mean just the Mega Drive game.

The SNES one sucked, couldn't even use a sword.

>>3114896
What did this mean again? wasn't it just a random texture for a fountain plaque?

>>3114897
It's the original Luigi's tombstone.

>>3114907
Swim around it 64 times to unlock Luigi, don't you know.

From a DPA point of view, yes
From a DPS point of view, no

Sorry about the off topic discussion, I just swung by to let you all know about the upcoming 4chan Spring babby cup.

As it stands, /vr/ has no manager and will subsequently be denied entry to the competition! I'm not a big /vr/ goer myself, but I don't know if you here on the board really like seeing the team.

If you do, stepping up isn't hard, the team is basically already all here and its just a matter of stepping up and saying you'll manage them.

If you don't, then just ignore this thread and have a nice day.

favorites are:

>nintendo world cup
great fucking soccer game. love the power moves and ai. great with the four score adapter and more friends
>nba live 95
idk i've just loved this one forever. easily the best basketball game to me. plays very arcade-like but at the same time more serious and realistic than nba jam.

>>3114791
I am not sure if it was called Kick Off or some other name but I remember playing a Neo Geo arcade game with soccer that was very entertaining. I think it's still worth playing to this day.

OP, the game of your pic is pretty cheap over here. Has anybody played it and if so, did you think it was a good soccer game? Why (not)?

>>3114750
Who cares about missing stuff, just play it.

Getting all them little fairy's and that gives some kind of mega powerful first strike

When I was a young'n my uncle dropped off this gem, and a Sega Saturn. So I wanted to play it of course. Come home, and my stepdad says my uncle took it back. I ask my uncle, he's like "NAH". Turns out my stepdad sold it for crack. Fuck this game and the memories attached

>>3114748
>a version with shorter cutscenes
Literally press F4. Or whatever the mupen plus equivalent for frame limiter.

I don't personally recommend it, but you can use a bloom filter.

Some are, and some aren't.

If you're having trouble already then you may as well just fucking stop now, there are some incredibly precise execution based puzzles coming up. The jumping on the engine thing is directly told to you via something in the mines, but I haven't played Alundra in 2 years.

I would strongly recommend having a guide handy when playing Alundra though. Many of the puzzles are really ridiculous to solve.

I would actually advise not playing it, since I found it incredibly frustrating.

>>3114640
The hint for the engine gives you the wrong pattern for the switches and tells you to "shake things up", so I was assuming they meant to "shake up" the pattern they were giving.

Turns out they meant "randomly press shit until you figure it out and then jump on the engine TWICE". What the shit?!

I'm always disappointed in Zelda games because they only ever scratch the surface of their possibilities, both in terms of combat and puzzles, even Master's Quests don't go far enough, so I thought Alundra would be the perfect game.

>>3114658
Alundra's combat is bad. Enemies require too many hits.

Alundra's puzzles are fucking ridiculous to solve either by virtue of being insanely difficult, or by having twitch execution.

The first part gets alleviated once you get better weapons and magic (3 castings of the Fire Book kills the final boss iirc) or getting the Hero Sword, but until that point the game is a massive fucking slog.

32x, atleast the SuperGrafx looks nice and isn't an add-on.

Considering the pc engine actually rivaled the super famicom in japan for a brief period and outsold the mega drive i'm going to have to say 32x.

PC Engine had more add-ons and console variations than the Mega Drive. The biggest problem with the 32X was the fact that it came out at the same time as the Saturn.

It was one of the games I got for Xmas when I first got an N64. The other games were Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, and Ocarina of Time.

I liked it. Not as much as the others of course. I eventually 100% completed it by collecting all the pick-ups and was super disappointed when the ending just said "congratulations."

The music in that first level is way more relaxing than it has any right to be. The spooky level was cool.

The cheat codes were fun.

He gloved me in an uncomfortable area

I was really excited about this game back then. I bought it on release, was amazed by how many different moves he had (as depicted on the huge card that came with the game) and played it for about an hour without making any real progress. Loaned it to a friend because he wouldn't stop begging me to borrow it, got it back like a year later and didn't have the interest anymore.

Went back to it a few years ago and it's pretty fun, I like it. Soundtrack is kind of awful in some spots, but pretty nice in others.

It was cheaper.

Would a stock SNES w/o super FX run Spectre? The original ran smoothly even on a low end 386 IIRC.

Because Nintendo is shit lol

Holy shit do they do that with all of their older games? If so that fucking rules.

They also give you hint books which aren't really necessary.

What they don't give you are crucial patches so you don't have to suffer through CGA or lacking music.

You can't really do much wrong in Ultima 1. Walk around, try out stuff and you've basically solved the game.
Ultima 2 is a completely different beast. I'd recommend not spending too much time on it. It tried a lot of new stuff and just wasn't up for it.
