google search says that model is for the Genny 2.

How do you know it's not working? Are you sure it's not a problem with the genesis itself, or the connection between the game and the console?

What TV are you using. AFAIK new TVs don't accept old analogue RF. Cable is digital now and all that.

Wild Arms is great tho

there is not even a single thing bad about it?

>to one of the worst RPG's.
It was a straightforward game with a metric ton of optional and side content that didn't have shitty gimmicks like sphere grids or junctioning. It's what RPGs should be.

I'm personally not fond of most lcd games. They tried too hard to be good, but the technology was limiting in order for it do anything. Game and Watch is simple, but the Tiger and other LCDs are ambitious to say the least, which hurt them in the long run. But they were cheap and they were games so people ate them up.

>>2917240
I always wondered when Nintendo would finally mix things up for LCD games and just make micro gameboy clones, I would love to have a little GB keychain I can play some SML or Kirby's Dreamland on

>>2917240
I got a lot in these since my parent's couldn't afford a Game Boy I spent hours thinking a drawing on how I would adapt other games I liked into lcd games.

>>2917256
Guess nobody would care about it now since you can play almost anything you want on a cellphone now, but I would like to see how LCD games would be if they were made today.

If anyone wants to beef up their difficulty like one anon posted about a couple threads ago, don't be afraid to give this a shot. I renamed the difficulties to Doom 64, removed Nightmare because I don't play it admittedly, and added Critical Mode and Contra Hard! difficulties.

I'd release this sky pack too, but I don't have anything for Episode 2 unfortunately and after a GZD update at one point, the ACS that an anon helped me with for an animated sky in Episode 4 completely broke.

I'll just say you're not wrong to avoid having a long argument about justifying the series.

Sorry anons, I'm not a /vr/ regular.
You have this conversation often or something?

>>2918630

I wanted to fuck her spider pussy. I imagined that those yellow lines were pointing to where the pussy is down below, almost welcoming me to fuck it.

Sometimes when the battle finished, I would jack off whilst visualizing Cecil conquering the stupid arachnid bitch. White Knight on the streets, Dark Knight in the sheets.

8/10 would insert penis into spidersnatch

I miss old /vr/, before /v/ found it.

Different television/electrical standards. America was 60Hz/NTSC, Europe was 50Hz/PAL. Games written in Europe on the PAL standard were usually incompatible with NTSC machines, and vice versa. Especially so if the game used advanced programming tricks that relied on exact timing.

Usually the PAL version of a given game is better, the C64 scene was just more developed in Europe. Excellent example being OP pic, Bionic Commando.

Movie is great, but that game is pretty bad.

They're all leaps and bounds better than consumer TV's. JVC won't be aperture grille obviously. The NEC x## series is supposed to be really good and better than the average Sony pvm on some points. ikegamis are also supposed to be really good. Some sonys were rebranded as Olympus I think. Anything above 500 TV lines (the'pixels' horizontally) is going to be good. You should have posted in the CRT thread anon.

We have a containment thread for this

>>2925609

Sony RGBs are better, but others are also acceptable if you can't find one/too expensive.

Even as a kid I thought DK64 was a slog. I really started to feel the burn by the time I hit Crystal Caves, I entered the level for the first time and the camera started panning around and I thought "here we go again..."

I loved this level and game in general. My least favourite was probably Creepy Castle or Gloomy Galleon, but still good. The only thing that annoyed me was Beaver Bother. I know OP is not alone in his opinion and lots of people share it, but I really liked this game.

They really are great adventure games. The thing that kills them is the camera, but it's far from the worst of that generation. I see way too many comments just bashing everything they did but really they're probably the best translation of the series to 3D.

Overall I think my favorite level is the Cornell-exclusive Tower of Ruins. It's arranged much like a classic Zelda dungeon with switches that open doors, and even has a map that can be viewed in some rooms.

Then there's a later part where you're platforming over narrow bridges and pillars, and you can fall off onto one of the various lower floors where you'll either die of fall damage, or be able to get back up via elevator and start over. It's frustrating but extremely fair, and it warms you up to the intense platforming levels that come after it.

I think dealing with the camera issues was part of what made this game fun. It's a flaw that you need to work around, and that's all part of the challenge. It wasn't that bad for the most part, you just have to know when to use R to center the view behind you, and when to trust the default auto camera placement and not touch the camera.

it was a logical means of navigating an environment with limitless numbers of possible camera angles, and would stay consistent even if said angles changed constantly. That's how I figure it at least.

I think the work involved in making a 'natural' scheme is also vastly understated. Tank controls were way easier than making movement relative to the current camera position and not have that look/feel like crap.

Because tanks are better than mechs and would kick their asses with the same tech base.

Get a load of this asshole. Have fun hitting me with your slow ass rounds and small cannon elevation arc as I go from walking to flying in 10 seconds, and then come down on your ass and rip your turret off with my actual appendages.
