No music keeps it from being a good port.

>>3112756
which is odd because the Manual says there's music

>>3112865
Only during the menus and such, but not during the gameplay.

Battletoads' 2-player if I recall.

How so? My cousin and I never got very far on it, though I did finally manage to win alone.

> So basically retro modern games.
I dunno what are you talking about, so take Kirby's Dream Land 3.

He's a /v/astard who thinks that literally every modern game is shit, but when pressed on what games he's played, he goes silent or enters rage mode.

And when asked to prove his achievement progress, he either "forgot his account" or "doesn't play online so he doesn't get achievements" or they're "bugged".

You should play the sequel, Lunar: Eternal Blue. It's even better.

Never been a fan of traditional RPGs. Still not. Game has great music and visuals though.
>Any other good Sega CD games that I should check out?
Pretty much the standard 5 or so games are all that's worth playing.

>>3112389
Planning to do so, but I think I would have to download it. The Sequel is a bit expensive. I was able to get Silver Star by a struck of luck were some Mexican at a flea market had it for 10 bucks. Good thing the Sega CD has no copy protection!

the Namco Museum series for PS1

Someone just watched Game Sack.

Why would you pay for roms and kusoge tier remakes when you can have the real thing.

Quake Guy is fast for a reason. Use it.

I think it's disappointing how the movement speed of enemies isn't affected by Nightmare. Melee-only enemies behave the same.

Shamblers actually become easier to fight in Nightmare too. They used to be a threat because they can close in on a player taking cover from their ranged attacks, but since their ranged attack rate becomes so high in Nightmare, a player can easily lock them in place.

Ogres are not that bad, you quickly learn the rhythm of the grenades and dodge accordingly. Fucking shamblers, though.

An early version of Rockman X3.

It will probably have low demand, but if people realize how useful it is it could become one of those apps that everyone recommends to someone who wants to get into emulation and take off from there. I don't personally need it since I have a lot of GoodSets full of games I'll never play anyway, and if I'm missing a game I'll probably download it individually, but it could definitely be useful.

Are you gonna make one that works with every cartridge-based console?

Yes, the idea was to support the whole set of systems with popular collections out there, pretty much like all the popular ROM managers does (by using DATs with set information or something like that). It would definitely be open source, also.

I also have lots and lots of games I will never play, but the idea struck me when I wen into the HyperSpin world (a very beautiful-to-look-at emulation front-end) and realized they tend to create their HyperSpin's XML out of No-Intro collections - and I was always a GoodSets guy, so I started collecting the No-intro sets from scratch, even though I had most files with different naming convention.

Another nice feature to have would be to generate XMLs for front-ends such as HyperSpin, and assigning the media files to all games that relate (for example, the Super Mario World cartridge box would display for all the SMW variations in the goodsets that relate).

Maybe you're right, I should do it to resolve this need of mine and maybe publish it and see if it gets traction.

>>3111179
>How come no one ever
Because most people download complete sets and know exactly what they have. No one cares what a few kids who download muhrio games one by one need.

LoL yeah we've played King's Field. How are you liking those controls? Slow enough for you? I personally catch a lot of grief for this opinion but King's Field and its bros Shadow Tower (best) and Echo Night are all much better when played on an emulator than on real hardware so you can remap controls and overclock. Made a big difference for me and I had seriously attempted to get into them back in the day.

Aside from those two other series I mentioned that use the same engine you should really check out Severance: Blade of Darkness if you want to get the full proto-Souls perspective.

>>3111050

I actually don't mind them too much. I did use Xpadder to map the analog sticks to what would be considered standard FPS controls though. Would have used the in emulator mapper, but didn't feel like juggling controls for other games.

Not having a run button kind of sucks, but the dungeons and game don't seem particularly long so it's not so bad. Also, apparently it's in the next game. First game I tried a long time ago was the fourth game, so I know it gets considerably slower as far as combat is concerned.

Never heard of Severance, but it looks pretty neat. Shame From didn't keep going with the first person perspective thing. Definitely adds to the atmosphere.

i tried playing this game for the first time recently

honestly it just feels like a worse ultima underworld

Try the arcade version, it's better. Although I don't like GG very much, it's one of those unique games that people never copied enough (or at all). The lives system is very unique.

I've only ever played the genesis port, but I love it, honestly. Very unique game, and it was really cool to see all the different characters and find the best ways to use their unique weapons.

I think the pc engine version is the definitive version, something about they made your units move faster relative to the vertical screen resolution or whatever.

Fuckin thousands of those games m8.

>And does anyone know of a 2D scrolling game where you would pick one of 3 pilots/get purchase various upgrades and fuck shit up. For the SNES, it was military themed and the pilot colors were red/blue/green.
That sounds like U.N. Squadron.

Fuzzical Fighter wasn't exceptionally great, but it took a bold step by combining SHMUPS with JRPGs, even if it was limited to talking to the mayor of each town and buying upgrades in shops.

Dunno if Fire Emblem clones count, but Just Breed was fucking great.

Actually a licensed game, I believe it was some kind of a Japanese movie or tv show.
