Zelda 2. I first played it in 2004 shortly after playing a ton of Zelda 1 and loving it (on Animal Crossing GC, used Action Replay to unlock all of the NES games and proceeded to play those more than the actual game, it was what springboarded me into getting an NES a year later). Zelda 2 was really odd to me, and I didn't really understand the game at all.

It took until my 10th time (at least) trying the game to really get it, that was about October of 2012 or so. Finally beat it a few years later, and I can say it's one of my favorite Zeldas as well as one of my favorite NES games.

Diddy kong racing. I got my N64 + games used back around 98 or 99 or so, and that was one of the games I received, along with Turok 2, some sports shit, and extreme G.

I played DDR, but I never really appreciated it because I wanted to own those *real* N64 games like Mario Kart 64, Donkey Kong 64, Super Mario 64, Zelda OOT, etc. But looking back, it was a very fun and damn unique cart racer that IMO is better than MK64.

Always thought Turok 2 was baller as fuck though. Bewareoblivionisathand

Gotta be Dragon Warrior. That was babby's first RPG, and I tried so damn hard to love it as a kid, but it was nothing but endless frustration and annoyance for me. I remember being especially pissed off about having to go through menus just to open doors, and how frequent the battles were. Shit like that. I just didn't get how RPGs worked at the time, and didn't have the patience for them yet.

Years later, DW was the first game I ever emulated. It was definitely antiquated, but it was still enjoyable to just sit down and experience the game that really sparked off the popularity of a whole genre in motion. It's not one of my favorite games of all time or anything, but the feeling of going back and finishing something you couldn't as a kid can be a pretty great one.

Better than as a kid? Yeah.
Better than when I was 18? No.

I'm way better in racing games than when I was a kid. Also in Street Fighter 2.

This. Getting older not only made me slower, but now I have giving carpal tunnel. And having more demands on my time as an adult means I don't get enough sleep anymore on top of that.

I suck at SMK so much. Though I've found recently that I'm really bad at all Mario Kart now, I don't know what happened. I have gone on to beat other racers instead since, like Diddy Kong Racing for example, but I didn't think it would be such a drastic switch away from that game to Mario Kart.

I got pretty terrible at MK64 too, for the record.

>>2919780
It's deceptive so you wouldn't think so right away, but Mario Kart really is one of those "Easy to learn, difficult to master" kind of games.

>>2919754
I played battle mode so much over the internet with a buddy that I learned to dodge red shells by hopping at just the right moment

I've never played it but why would you want a bunch of dorks to tell you about how everything you were told to do in the game was wrong and only furthered the antagonist's plot to wreck buttholes

>>2919550

Buttholes are prominently featured in the LBA games. Just thought I'd let you know, OP.

>>2919513
1 has annoying controls. It doesn't feel as responsive as 2 and you take damage and go through an annoying animation every time you run into a wall.

2 has much better controls and much bigger open environments giving a real sense of exploration. Both are worth playing but 2 is better.

I played two on the DC with the fishing rod controller. Never 100% either game, but I had fun.

>>2917125
Man this game was awesome

>>2917361
I'll never forget the fucking background noises birds and bugs made. There was like a BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ noise, I assume it was suppose to be a bug.

>>2913569
>Were games only available to play during the specific broadcast times?

Pretty much that. I think the data was still stored on the cart though which is how we could extract it. Also there were voices guiding you during the time limit to make it more immersive/cinematic. I'm sure it was actually a pretty unique experience. They ended up "re-airing" the game a couple of times to give people another chance to play it.

Sega isn't Nintendo but at the same time isn't rare

Portable games and consoles are always loose and beat to shit. New and like new+complete examples are collectible there's just never much shortage of rough condition stuff cheap.

Frequently the rarest portable games are undesireable i.e. not at all fun. lolcamecom wtf? Ngage is even a neat little flash of a transitional platform but little collectibility so far.

>>2912076
Because sega doesn't have an army of artuists skyrocketing pack in games like Mario World to the $20 range.

It is, at leat outside the US (in which Nintendo used to have a monopoly, and is now part of pop culture). Retrogamers in the US flog to SMB like 14 years old girls flog to Justin Bieber concerts.

Play Tales of Phantasia now.

Are we only talking about RPGs?

If not try pic related and if that isn't obscure enough for you try Phantom 2040.

>>2917851

Anything you feel is worthy of a try. I have all the sports games I need on my console, I'm looking for stuff that is obscure to the casual gamer.

I just saw this cocktail Space Duel on my CraIgslist and it's so special and rare I had to share it even though the guy is some "I know what I got" Boomer.

Pretty much everybody on Craigslist seems totally insane with their far above eBay prices bit I've met this particular guy and he has a whole warehouse full of arcade stuff and he'll probably die there without selling much. I guess I should preemptively get friendly with his likely inheritors

>>2921441
I think I like strength testers better. I can crush the arm wrestling kind on their highest difficulty but the kind where you punch the bag, I only score okay at. What's up with that?

>>2921847
>I find myself having to take on one group of enemies at a time, then run back to find somewhere to rest or go back to temple to cure disease/poison.
Yeah, that's how it starts. It will be a while until you have some real firepower.

PROTIP: Take advantage of being able to dodge arrows and shit in real-time and kite enemies while shooting at them.

>>2921876
I've been having trouble stopping my spell users from getting fucked up. At the end of every fight that's slightly challenging they're always unconscious or dead

>>2921876
How many levels should I take in the skills? Just enough to Master them? Or do i max them all the way to 50 or whatever

I like the first one I played the shit out of it and beat a bunch of the campaigns. I wouldn't even really compare it to HoM&M either it's its own game and is good for being a variation on heroes. I liked leveling up my characters and the roleplaying aspects of it.

>>2920068
Yes. Better.

I just wrote a really long post about Disciples but before sending it my pc died so fuck it.

>>2920068

I played the second one. When I bought it it was on the elf-themed expansion, I think. But I didn't play the expansion content anyway so that isn't too important.

It was a fun enough game. The in-battle sprites were really nice. I played through the undead campaign and found it to be a normal turn-based strategy game, meaning that it was fun but almost always either too easy (because the AI was extremely stupid) or too hard (because I became lax and didn't make a serious enough effort to win). I had exactly one truly challenging battle in that campaign. I had managed to randomly save my game in a position where I HAD to beat a particular enemy group, but I was only juuuust barely strong enough to do it, and only if I used just the right sequence of moves at that. That was a really fun puzzle.

Otherwise, just a normal strategy game, for better or for worse. Worth playing if you like that sort of thing.

I haven't played HoMM.

There is tons of level on workshop if u have steam version + you get mods like dn3d beach and l.a etc..

Yeah the support for the game is really good. And for good reason.

>>2805070
The workshop is a good start, and it's good to bring a renew popularity to the game and some usermaps, but in terms of quality and quantity of user created content for the game it barely scratches the surface.
I did upload quite a lot of maps there myself (mine and some of my friends or fav maps) but tons of people never bothered to upload their maps there, and also tons of maps and mods aren't compatible with Megaton anyway.

Never played it but that's a pretty awesome title for a game. Sounds like a 70s anime.

Lunar Lander clone with many added gameplay elements. Unique fun title.

>>2919423
>Pretty cool.
>That last level/boss when it suddenly turned into a side scrolling shooter was awful though.
That really sums it up.

Yes.

It's this thing you need and it should work on any model 1 or 2 genesis.
