The greatest Doom-like ever.

Also that map is hell on a phone screen.

Except the 2 versions cost more MP and require more AP to unlock so it makes sense that later powers are stronger and more useful than earlier skills.

If you got Chrono with all of his abilities unlocked at the start of the game then I would agree, there would never be a reason to use the Level 1 spells, but they retain their usefulness because of all the elemental enemies in the late game.

>>3101305
I suppose that makes sense
The underwater palace would be hell without single target attack spells

This game was on genesis, and its almost the same. When it came out nobody gave a fucking shit. The gameplay has backtracking. Its a little bit more fun than a Sonic 3 special level.

It doesn't count as a Saturn sonic game because it was on Genesis too

You're taking the "saturn no sonic" thing a little too literally; Sonic R is most certainly a sonic game.

It's referring to a step forward in the series' canon, which never happened.

Choose "Software 3D" in options if your graphics are blurry.

reused assets from homm3.
and no i don't think they "look blurry and shit" compared to mm6.
and do >>3100907 if you want different tier monsters to have actual colors instead of being tinted.

both are great but 6 is way better.

bigger world, more secrets, way less linear, better inventory management (everyone can master id item and repair) and some of the best dungeon design ever.

7 has muh homm3 lore. its a great game in its own right but so many classes are gimped due to the addition of GM skills. very rushed endgame as well

All B, Baby - With some occasional A if I have time (rarely)

A mix of A and B. Most of my collection was actually build up back in the day when they were new, or when they became "old" (but not "retro/vintage/RARE!L@@K!") and were sold for pretty cheap in the early 00s.

I rarely buy stuff anymore except for some JP imports here and there.

B.
Fuck people who say all A and they should never post again.

I know, I saw it just after posting. Too late.
If the /stg/ thread here is any indication it will be well over a week before the thread is pruned, if it doesn't die naturally first

>>3100430
And I think even our /vg/ thread is slower than /stg/, so possibly more

Virtual console is generally as accurate as you can get for most emulators.
BSNES is probably more accurate than any of Nintendo's emulators, though.
And there's no such thing as input lag.

>>3099784
>And there's no such thing as input lag.
DK64 has five million hours of input lag on VC.

>>3099787
There is no dk64 on genuine vc

why dont these new pseudo retro games try to emulate this style? instead of fake nes

>>3099554
it would require effort

>Is this a bubble that will one day pop?
No. There is no counter to games staying out of circulation aside from office drops, but the resellers are too greedy and stupid to drop them on their own. Current distribution of ownership and reseller behavior pretty much guarantee that ridiculous prices will only "improve" once inflation catches up (probably never for certain titles). If resellers weren't blithering morons, they'd price items to move so they can flip them quickly, reinvest the profit and make more money over time, but most of them are mentally incapable of understanding this practice.

Prices won't fall until people who have nostalgia for the games start to die off and not even then if video games successfully make the transition to pop-art the way comics have - which is almost a sure thing to happen.

Tons of strategies. Depends on the game though. Konami 4-player HBSAGs (horizontal belt-scrolling action games) on the other hand are notorious for being button-mashy. Pick up some Capcom HBSAGs and you'll see that you need strategy and skill to beat bosses without dying.

>get below the boss
>inch upwards while attacking
>repeat

This is the strategy for 99% of these bosses. You'll still die repeatedly because most of these arcade games aren't meant to be fair, they're meant to turn a profit.

Yes more quarters

There's the Virtual Cameraman series on 3DO, which is from the same devs as Virtua Photo Studio.

The 3DO and Saturn have this strip rock-paper-scissors game called The Yakyuken Special, and the Saturn version adds more girls.

Another strip rock-paper-scissors one is Onee-san to Issho! Janken Paradise, also on 3DO, which has some neat stuff. It lets you choose what article of clothing the girl will take off and in whatever order you want, as well as a mode that lets you play against more than one of the girls, and each pairing/grouping has their own unique photos as rewards. It's also not as cheap difficulty-wise as Yakyuken Special.

...also, I still can't believe it was Acclaim that released Virtua Photo Studio. So odd.

I thought it was a troll. Then I saw the 30,490 viewed with mostly likes.God damn. I notice that most (not all) the n64 assholes are mega douche bags when it comes to selling on ebay. Everything is a super rare and valuable game with them.
