>game about fast character
>game wants you to go fast

So, if you go slow you're better off. So why go fast?

Because sonic a shit.

Super Mario Bros is faster paced and so much more gratifying when you blast through a level at non stop full sprint.

Its almost as if you have to get good at the game, like the programmers didn't want it to be easy.
>>
>>2919958
I swear, a lot of young people these days have no idea how to play these games. I've seen people commenting on normal Sonic videos about how amazed they are by the speed... that's how fast you're supposed to go. You master a level and then fly through it, so when you beat the game it doesn't take 12 hours there being no save function in Sonic 2. No wonder the save staters of today have no idea how Sonic is meant to be played, they played through the levels once.

What retro FPS has good co-op?

I played through Duke 3D with my friend but it wasn't as fun as I was hoping. It felt like more of a singleplayer game with co-op tacked on.

Playing System Shock 2 with a buddy is loads of fun, we both planned our builds beforehand and covered each others weaknesses.

Who in their right mind thought this game was a good idea? Did anybody on /vr/ actually enjoy this steaming pile of shit, or even manage to complete it without extensively consulting a guide?

I don't even know where to begin.

Instead of exploring an open-world like you do in SF1, you progress through a series of chapters that span several decades. Once you enter a chapter, you're locked in. There's no backing out. If you selected a chapter that's too difficult for your party to handle at their current level, then you're screwed and likely have to nuke your save and start over.

You can play some chapters out of chronological order, which makes it difficult to follow the plot at times. One minute your protagonist is 15 years old, then next, he's on his death bed mumbling something that would be relevant to you much later down the line, but you'll likely forget about it long before you reach to that point. When you DO reach that point, the added bit context was likely crucial to understanding the plot after all.

It's entirely possible to complete the chapters in such an order as to limit your remaining selection of chapters to those that would be impossible for you to advance through unless you had wasted the last 10 hours grinding. So once again, you find yourself having to nuke your save and start from scratch.

>(continued)

Points of no return appear in the most arbitrary spots. Backtrack one screen? The chapter inexplicably ends before you had a chance to grind or pick up any treasures. Advance one screen? Suddenly you're trapped in a new location and simply aren't allowed to backtrack through the open pathway that you just stumbled through, which is still visibly open.

The game often strands you in locations that don't permit you any access to shops, inns or other means of replenishing your resources. The final dungeon is the most horrendous example of this, AND you're forced to fight through a lengthy gauntlet of what can only be called superbosses before you can even reach the final battle. The final battle itself is so outrageous that players have been known to ragequit SF2 and never pick it up again.

Hey everyone! I love discovering old / bizarre / hard-to-find games, and I assume most of you do too. So I thought this would be a good excuse to spread the word that you can make some quick money writing for HardcoreGaming101. Personally, I think it's a fun excuse to play some games, teach others about them, and make a little money.

So basically I'm here to make a list of interesting / rare games that don't currently have articles on that site. I'd write up some of them myself, except that many of them are only available in Japanese (which I'm still trying to learn). My hope is that maybe some people might suddenly feel inspired to write an article on one of these games or something, I don't know? I'll list some of the games I've found, along with any info and downloads links if I can find. Please add your own ideas to the list as well!

My Garden (PS1) (Japan only)

Technosoft had a long history of making shoot-em-ups, so naturally they decided to make this... flower girl simulator? That's right! Finally you can live out your lifelong dream of being a cute little girl who sells flowers to strangers in a quaint country town. The actual gameplay seems suspiciously similar to Harvest Moon, as you tend to your garden and make friends in the village.

And they never mention the exact topics they are looking for.

Keep in mind they seem to want you to use an HD capture card to do screenshots for articles unless you are doing PS2, Gamecube, or Wii. If you don't have one, they won't accept your work.

Unless you have a handheld thing that can spin 360 degrees, you aren't faithfully replicating paddle controls.

So, no, just like you can't accurately emulate a cycling game without foot pedals.

Do cycling controls even exist? It'd be neat to try emulating Prop Cycle.

Okay /vr/ I need some help on a JVC monitor I'm thinking about purchasing. I was looking at this eBay listing:

http://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/141876099921

And I noticed that this monitor only has one input for video labeled Input A (with two plugs). does this mean that this monitor is composite only, or what?

This should go in the CRT thread.

That being said, it sounds like composite and S-video

I dunno why I never just picked up the rom but has anyone ever played the ZX-Spectrum version of Droids?

Surprisingly fun platformer for the Game Gear. One of my favorites growing up.

Btw, whoever suggested Tales of Scheherezade in the last thread, thanks. I'm still just getting into it, but it seems neat. Reminds me of Crystalis, Zelda, and Dragon Quest rolled up into one. The music is pretty sweet too. It will take more than one sitting to play, so I don't know what to think yet.
>>
>>2923281
Magic of Scheherezade is fucking awesome.

Words of advice.

* the fighter class is best for overworld but switch to magician before the boss battles...
* saint class is only useful for holy boots but can't gamble, and is meh in both swords and magic, use on the swamp level and never again
* don't plant the seeds in the past and go to the future to reap the harvest, it basically breaks the game since it gives you so much high level stuff that it takes the fun away
* stock up on troopers, big time, put yourself in debt if you have to
* have fun!
