Jezz Ball was better.

Had to use passwords to beat CC. Shit was actually impossible

>>3010273
Could of told me that before spending 5 bucks on Steam

>>3010303
Are they really peddling this shit on steam? That's amazing.

>>3010203
You could make that argument with any game's alpha footage before the modern indie game scene ran that term into the ground.

>>3010213
From what I heard, Valve thought the game was sucking ass so they decide to start over. And this was way later than the version in the video.

>>3010213
Exactly.
It's not like Valve and any intention on releasing the game in this state, it doesn't look very good because it's not finished yet.

Good enough to charge the atmosphere with strange gases.

>>3009997
Yes, 2 is a quantum leap though.

dude on the left is Sid himself

I thought someone ported Unfinished Business to PS1?

Anyways, the PS1 version does very well for me.

I heard that timed fire platform room doesn't even have save points in the PC version, so it that dings it a few points for me already because fuck that room.

>>3009996

PS1 version in an emulator would have savestates even if the game didn't have savepoints in that room.

Actually savestates would be pretty nice considering the original game uses save crystals so you can only save in certain spots and only once per crystal.

>> PS1 version:
>- Can play in higher resolution
>- Better FMVs

how come? you could select resolution and sacrifice framerate?
and there fore if emulated, you woudl have smooth frate rate and higher res?

at TR1 release ibmPCs were already superior to ps1, how did this happen

>objectively

there's that word again.

>>3009965
It was either that or literally. Buzzword or not, I felt I needed to use that strong a vocabulary.

You know, I only play the localized Fire Emblems since there's a big scary back catalog and I don't know where to start.
Should I really do this one or are you just being contrarian?

>Throw many hadokens

>>3009657
>With SFV now out I felt the urge to get back into the series and play 3rd Strike.

yeah, V really does suck compared to the older games

what's the best way to play third strike on pc? like what version should I play?

Artistic and technical.

I dunno, I think it looks good at the correct resolution, on a CRT display.

I still probably like traditional sprites better, but I have nothing against pre-rendered ones.

I think most people will say 2D graphics peaked on Metal Slug series.
I love the big, baroque detailed sprites and how it's animated, but sometimes I wish the color palette was broader.

Yoshi's Island would get a shout artistically.

>Gameboy Advance
No

>>3009238
>Sonic Advance.
These games are the only true successors to the original Sonic games.

Please, just accept that the GBA is not retro and stop shit posting.

>playing final fantasy 3
>haven't saved in over an hour
>parent yells at me to go to bed
>OK let me just find a save spo...
>no now, flips light switch
>Whole room is connected to that switch

Holy shit it still makes me mad thinking about that. And it happened more than once too.

>Got a great Pokemon party, with 8 badges

>>3009097
Fuck, that sounds infuriating. Thankfully my parents knew a little about gaming and didn't do this to me

I love both Mark and Arino, but they're not /vr/.

>>3008904
>Arino
>plays only old games on his show
>Mark
>his series is called CLASSIC games room
>not retro

>>3008901
I would have to go with Mark.

Yeah he complains a lot about sucking at the games but he's not that bad, and he's pretty great at shmups. Arino takes way too long to do anything. And he'd probably take a field trip to Okinawa in the middle of playing

Too many shit threads.

Been playing Last Bronx. Pretty good fighting game, I never see anyone talking about it. Even in Saturn fan circles. Probably has the best backgrounds of any 3D Saturn fighter.

>>3008807
Probably because it's not that good.

I've been playing DoDonPachi. Pretty amazing shooter.

>>3008789
I burn mine at max speed (48x) and have no issues playing them on my saturn.

Here is the post.

bring your own cords to test them at the very least, but overall i'd say not worth it

>>3008764
Bring your own cords, tell him you want to test out the console before you buy.

A lot of these sorts of listings are selling genuinely busted consoles - although some they've genuinely just lost the cables over the years.

But ask yourself this: why would he have a SNES, PS1, Dreamcast and GameCube, all without cords, selling each of them for $15?

I always liked this old review of Final Fantasy 1. It perfectly captures why the game was so great back in the day.

http://archives.insertcredit.com/reviews/ff1/index.html

Not to get all e-celeb, but Spoony's talk about playing Ultima with his brother is very much like this.

And a tech version would be the software/hardware blog that was ran by K.Mandla. That same aspect of the march of time and trying to convince people that there was a reason to care about any of it at all.

From the end of the Chrono Trigger review here: http://socksmakepeoplesexy.net/index.php?a=trigger

> It encapsulaes everything about the genre that ever made it worthwhile and sidesteps the excesses.

Get Lamp and The BBS Documentary also have this atmosphere. It's touching, because it can only come from dead genres or past technology.

>>3008570
I love Tim Rogers. His Earthbound review is my favorite:

Genesis, not even a contest. That d-pad is sex and the sixbutton layout is way better for fighters.

US SNES with dimpled buttons.


Never liked Sega d-pads.

SNES. I like the genesis controller, but it's not as comfy as the SNES controller, and the button layout just isn't as good.
I can't imagine playing a game like Mega Man X on a genesis controller, that would be so annoying.
