What's so great about banjo kazooie. I usually love rare games, but I don't get what's so great about it? Every world has the same objectives and overall is a Super Mario 64 ripoff. Also the camera is ass. People keep saying it's both a classic rare game and an awesome game overall, but this just an overrated game fueled entirely by nostalgia. Help me out, I'm sick of all the praise it gets.
It doesn't even get that much praise, grow up.
>>2932913
Whenever n64/rare classics are brought up, BK always gets a mention
>>2932909
this week this game has got nothing but shit on. what praise? this is like the 4th thread in the last 5 days talking about how much this game sucks... probably all started by you as well. calm the fuck down.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Level 1 saves. JP and USA versions.
Alucard is set to level 99, but with level 1 stats. It is a kind of "hard mode" though ti's not that hard for veterans. The equipment is still broken of course, so if you know the right combos you can breeze through it.
>rush through castle
>get to inverted castle
>acquire Crissaegrim
and just like that the game is over.
>>2932253
I didn't use the Crissaegrim. But I did get those +15 DEF necklaces late game that drop from those weird guys up top and that made the last chunk of the game pretty easy.
But first we have to talk about inverted castles
and vorpal blades
Both are on the same crt tv. 1 is an xbox running coin ops the other a real snes.

i do apologise, i had prepared the news post earlier, before your first post of this. it will be in the next one. happy birthday, by the way.
Do you prefer localizations, literal translations, or joke translations?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbPzeOzxm98
A mix between local and literal translations, same philosophy I'm applying for my fan-translation project.
Literal translations are awful, QED Wild Arms 2, a very literal translation which resulted in nearly-incomprehensible gibberish.
I like Schwartzeneggar jokes and shit about fuckin'
Heey guys, recently picked up a N64 and was quite confused. My N64 will run games with the code of NUS-EUR-1 but not NUS-EUR. Wouldn't it still work with it seeing as it is a EUR.
I'm no expert on these matters but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Blow on the contacts bro.
what games have you tested
Lets talk about retro games guys
Atari 2600 thread!
>>2931291
>>2929565
Favorite games for the system OP? I sometimes just play ports of arcade games like Ms Pacman, Donkey Kong, and Burger Time
>>2932483
OP pic was deleted though.
>>2932701
Anyone else ever find this sign playing California Speed? What does it mean? Its fucking creepy man. Why would the creators put this in? Just to fuck with people and creep them out? It reads...
"SoMETIMES...
God TAKES MOMMIES
ANd PuPPIES AWAY
ANd SoMETIMES...
JuST SoMETIMES...
I do"
OP here again, also can anybody please please please tell me how to unlock the Dozer car!?! I have every track and every secret car unlocked except the Dozer. I can not do it. Everything i try doesn't work. I have read a various websites how to unlock it but nothing works. It says to beat the california cup with the semi, but it doesn't work. Any help would be very much appreciated!!!
its just some black humor that got past esrb. some dev prob wanted to freak some kids out
>>2931663
Damn that's crazy discomforting.
Feel like it was put in there as a joke in development and just didn't get taken out in the end.
I thought the capitalization might be a code or something but:
ooddudouodo
doesn't look like it could mean anything. Probably just the devs goofing around.
What are some /vr/ games about being a local cop?
Extra points if actual policework and procedures are followed and not just Cowadoody kicking down doors and shooting up the place.
>>2930712
Police quest 3
>>2930712
Yeah, basically Police Quest is what you're looking for. A real shame it became the gritty SWAT series.
Not to get too political, but it shows the evolution of the police in popular American culture from a civil servant with a gun to the borderline soldier fighting a war at home. It's gotten so bad that in certain cases they send the National Guard to help keep peace and the actual fucking army looks less like soldiers than local police.
Yes?
Anyone know if Super Smash TV can be played with one controller on the Megadrive/Genesis? I heard from a few that it can but you cannot move and shoot at the same time. Can anyone confirm this to be true or not?
Download a rom and find out for yourself.
Lazy idiot.
>>2930282
Asif that never crossed my mind you half wit, Thanks for the help.
I'd buy that for a dollar!
Just started playing this game couple of hours in.
My MC gets damage equal to damage he deals on hit why is that? On weaker enemies he oneshots himself i can't find the cause of it..
Also Suikoden thread i guess.
Uhhh... are you poisoned? That early on in the game there's no rune you can obtain that will do that to you, if even at all. Sounds fishy.
>>2929347
This is the game I'd want more to have than any other.
hey op I don't suggest playing this unless you've cleared the first game
I mean, it's a great game by itself, but a lot of the charm of SU2 is the charm of recruiting the old characters that you used to play with in the first and seeing what they're up to.
I'm just assuming you didn't play the first though, maybe you already did. If you didn't I highly suggest you go back and do that one first and save your data so you can recruit the secret character in 2
How did Nintendo do it?
>>2927814
Wizardry.
Seriously, I love this game so damn much. Every time I play it, it's just as fun as my first time.
>>2927814
highly advanced (for its time) dedicated 3D hardware and low poly, gouraud shaded models
Hazy Maze Cave was the best level
>What I’d really like to make is a game with a system that allows total freedom for the player. For example, despite it being a sword and sorcery world, the hero decides to do nothing and just quietly enjoy his life as a local baker in town. If everyone could take up different roles in some kind of computer networked game, I think it would be really fun.

did anyone actualize his dream game?

Lets try to keep it retro. Like between Dragon Quest 1 NES and Dragon Quest 1 SNES.
Isn't the GB version of DQ1 harder than both the NES and SNES versions?
>>2923285
No, the GBC version as the same as the SNES version gameplay wise.

Sup /vr/, post your retro battlestations. I need inspiration for getting my "study" set up in my apartment. If you have a small space, I'm especially interested.
I plan on doing a retropie setup along with a dreamcast.

Anon, here's my smallish office. The panoramic shot makes it looks smaller than it actually is.
