Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey thats a prrrrreeeeeeeetty good game.

That's probably because most people still don't know about AKI and their legacy in terms of pro wrestling games.

Nice deal op

Posting another example.

Duck Tales 2 I think has a mod that adds a second player with Darkwing Duck's sprite. Off the top of my head, that's about all I can think of /vr/-wise.

I tried this out the other day. It's certainly interesting, but some parts can be pretty annoying. The penguin race, anything involving cannons, etc.

A more interesting question would be can Doomguy survive against a world overrun with every type of Pokemon?

Might as well get this one out of the way:

Joe Musashi vs Ryu Hayabusa

>>3011948
Ryu, but it would be closer than most fans would admit.

Earthworm Jim.

Ninja Gaiden should excite you.

I've been really into Mars Matrix lately, but any of those is a great choice

>general Dripik did nothing wrong

>>3011249
Hehe, he did the thing.

eh....None of them were very good desu. I only bought into the GB after they released the Color. _That_ was a handheld; not this pea-soup shit or the parade of battery-munching fuckoffs. The Gameboy Pocket is prolly my minimum acceptable standard for a distinct handheld (in that sense the Turbo Handheld doesn't even count; it's just a miniaturized TG-16).

Why do people even bother making threads like this? You know what the answer is going to be.

Game Boy Advance

I'm not sure I understand the question. What you're asking seems to involve a simple Google / Wikipedia search. Older computer platforms are extensively documented, and Wikipedia alone should be able to fill you in on hardware specs. Wikipedia has templates for listing consoles by generation, computers included. There are a few such templates at the bottom of the Amiga article, for instance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga You could also click on any of the category links at the bottom to see a listing of (non-Amiga) personal computer models.

If you're asking about how to set up emulation of classic computer games on modern computers, this is where Google comes in. I can't think of any central databases for this sort of info, but there are nonetheless tons of informative sites run by hobbyists.

All sources are filled with bogus. Just grab emulators and game sets and try stuff out.

>>3011060
That list at the bottom is part of what I was looking for. Now I just need to find out what good games there were for those other systems, find emulators, and so on. I should be able to do all that myself.

Thanks for the help, and sorry for wasting your time, /vr/.

Too confusing

Hold right to win

Because they want to appeal to western audiences who grew up playing shooters and action games by "keepin' it real" by keeping the camera right on the character's back the whole time.

Wizardry had a nice in-between, in that if one of your party members died, you had to *attempt* to raise them. There was a spell you could learn later in the game to raise them, or you had to haul their corpse and equipment up to the surface to the temple to try. If the res worked, you got your character back with no loss of ability. If the res failed, then either the corpse was left and you could try again, or the corpse turned to dust (random chance) and the character was gone forever.

As a lover of hardcore games, I'm in the camp that says "you should lose them forever" because you play more thoughtfully and the characters' lives mean more to you.

I like the idea of a character being gone forever, but I often find myself getting emotionally attached to them. I've been known to load a much older save just to have that character again.

If you die in the game, you die irl

The way the sunlight looks on that picture fucks with my mind and makes me think there's actual sunlight crawling through my windowpane

Most consoles don't need glasses.

Why did the SNES have such a weak processor, considering it came out like 2-3 years after the genesis?

All medieval fantasy games will have an ample helping of magic in some way. Use of magic is always optional to the player.

Amulets and Armor comes to mind as a medieval Doom clone, since it uses the Doom engine with some custom textures and sprites.

I suggest consulting Mobygames for games of those types; for retro games search by year in ascending order, plenty since 1982.

Thief doesn't have that much magic in it

>>3011801

Yes, I think the thief series is the one I'm looking for, not a lot of fighting but not a lot of magic neither.

If they're so stupid, why do you fucking watch them?

So now kids will start parroting that Saturn was an awful console, great.

>>3010631
Pretty much this.

I rarely do, I used to love their content back in the day and I am still subscribed, most of the old guard are long gone though.

This was translated recently and it's pretty good.

No.

D-pad is great for games designed around it, so is the analog stick and so are *gasp* touch controls. Even *gasp* motion controls.

Fuck you and your shitty nostalgia.

>>3010393
Analog Stick was thought for 3D games, D-Pad for 2D

Are those the only options you know of?
