> We've made a terrible mistaaaaake

That box art is hysterical. I always complain about plain, unsophisticated illustrations in game covers, but then they try to do something eerie and symbolic and it backfires like this

Answering your question: any Tenchu track, but I love string-based ones like 'Cure the Princess'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpPLGtG2Nk8

or 'Execute the Corrupt Minister'

They had almost nothing but cookie-cutter dungeon crawlers and interactive fiction (which barely even counts as a "game") with primitive graphics and a couple of beeps for sound. There was nothing like the demo scene or any decent music composers either.

Also don't get me started on the rubbish computers they had like IBM PCs with shit CGA colours, Crapple, and a few other miscellaneous shitpiles. Even the few decent computers like Amiga were nearly ignored over there and 90% of their userbase was in Europe.

Got the Super Metroid at a game store, I was shocked to see it there because the store rarely ever has anything even remotely good retro wise. I found the Ristar box at a flea market for $10, and found a cart a couple weeks back.

It was the first game I was ever over-hyped for. I remember being disappointed in many ways when I first played it. But now I've come to terms with what it was and trying to be and it's alright. Not my favorite FF, but not my least either.

Serious question. How much of the content and discussions of this board is guided by pure nostalgia? A longing for that brief, innocent time in all of our lives when we were ten or eleven. Staying up all night finishing OoT, or skipping school and spending half the day at the Golden Saucer?

Is there any objective truth to the value of these retro games? Or is this all one shared, subjective, pool of nostalgia? One option isn't necessarily better than any other.

It's just videogames, technically it's all dull mindless entertainment.

>>3114579
I would say probably 25% overall. Some people are mostly guided by nostalgia, some don't care about it at all. Most are about in the middle.

I don't know about objective truth, but there are a lot of old games I still like many years later and there are old games I try for the first time and find I like as well. I also like many new games as well though.

If you like dragon quest try the mother series. This board loves dragon quest but shits on mother despite them both being pretty similar to each other.

The higher you get up the ladder in Mortal Kombat II, will the CPU learn and adapt to your play style? For example, if you utilize a lot of flying kicks will it cause Baraka to use his Shredder move more often to try and catch you midair? I found that using moves I wouldn't normally use on opponents higher up the ladder is pretty effective.

I used to think this as a kid about MK3. But later I learned the computer is incapable of "learning" what you do. I think at most it has a line of programming that says "if X move is used Y times, do Z instead". Mixing up the moves does seem to help, but I think it's just about knowing how many you can pull off before you switch the AI's rails to countering you constantly.

Holy shit this game is boring after the first 4-5 hours. The beginning was great. Beautiful music, fun combat... but you end up doing the same thing over and over and over...

It's getting fucking tedious. I have 4 sorcerers. 2 of them are almost masters of fire, 1 is almost a master of water, and 1 is an expert in air and light. Everyone is an expert in air.

About to do the quest for the arch mage promotion.


But holy moly I don't want to play anymore. So damn repetitive.

Is the game more fun (i.e. faster and less tedious) with non-magic characters? Like 3 knights to just bash heads in and 1 sorcerer for utility skills like fly and town portal?

I don't know if I can handle 60-70 more hours of this. It's so damn repetitive... Ugh.

Is this your first RPG?

Why would you run 4 sorcerers in the first place? Why not go with a more balanced party for the start?

M&M is not a deep series. Most of the time you just spam quick fight and mow through hordes of enemies.

The most fun I had was when I had ventured way too deep into enemy territory and barely managed to escape using the landscape to my advantage.
Also, mountain climbing. It's just fun to explore.
