Mario is missing.

Man that game is shit.

What USB gamepad with sticks do you recommend for 3D games/general use ? I was planning on buying one on ebay since my old controllers are no fit for 3D games and most new titles don't even support them.

If the games in question support xinput (or are on an emulator), you'll do well with the Xbone controller. If not, I believe the DS4 supports directinput, and if THAT doesn't, the DS3 definitely does.
On top of that, USB controller adapters are plentiful for pretty much everything, so if you want to use controllers you already have, it's just a quick google search away.

Hey lads if you turn on a SNES with a game inserted will it display the game if there is no controller connected to the console?

The NES will.
So will the Master System II and Mega Drive.
The Master System II doesn't even have to have a game inserted but you know what I mean.

My guess is no because the N64 won't either but it would be nice if somebody could confirm.

yes of course it will

>>2919341
Are you sure?
What if there is no game inside?

The SNES plays just like there was a controller hooked up. The N64 just asks you to insert a controller.

This isn't Dune 2, the first RTS by Westwood, this game was developed separately at the same time. It's a hybrid of point-and-click adventure, RPG, and strategy.

Martian Memorandum - Access Software, 1991

The second Tex Murphy game, this is a walky point-and-click inventory/dialog adventure. Includes Access's proprietary "RealSound" system which played digitized voice out the PC speaker, sounded really impressive at the time. Good characters and plot.

NPCs can exceed 10 action points (from what I've learned in FO2). Also perhaps, programmers gave him the fast shot trait

How do you find places that sell /vr/ stuff? I live on Long Island and did a google search for "flea market long island" and only found one place worth trying called Unique Bazaar. I found one corner that had a bunch of newer games and maybe about 2 dozen retro games: a few NES, SNES, and N64 games. (I picked up Faxanadu for $20.)

How do I find more places like this? What search terms should I try?

ebay, thrift stores, dedicated reseller stores. The latter being worth the money if you'd rather avoid 20 year-old pizza grease and dog piss in every crevice.

And as hilarious as Robert Meadows Presents Gradius III is, it doesn't make much for a serious collection.

>>2917371
Shit, yeah it's really cheap on ebay, ah well. It was worth it for the feeling of going out and buying a NES cartridge for the first time since my dad took me when I was a kid. But yeah, definitely going to check online for prices next time.

Thanks, yeah thrift stores sounds good.

I just finished pic related and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Can /vr/ set me up with any recommendations based on similar mechanics, atmosphere and difficulty level?

I'm waiting on King's Field III (Japan) to arrive in the mail, but I'm told that game is substantially less challenging and may not be as enjoyable. Am I in for a disappointment?

I'm aware of Shadow Tower as well, and I'll probably hunt down a copy of it after I finish all the retro KF titles.

If you want difficulty and atmosphere you should probably just skip straight to Shadow Tower.

I played it a couple of times and was instantly lost.
It's predecessor "Mystery House"; was played me to death. But I never finished it until pulled out my old rig a couple of years ago and found a walkthrough online.

Reminds me of a game I played where you have to find all these animals in a house before the dragon finds you or something.

I remember playing it in gradeschool on my teacher's computer.

And just like that, I finally found the name of that game. Dragon's Keep also made by Sierra.

Thanks, OP. I'm going to go check out some old text-input adventure games I can barely remember.

Can a knowledgable individual please give an overview of all the different old Japanese computers?

MSX
PC-88
FM-Towns
X68000
Are there any more?

What generations would these fit into (3rd, 4th, 5th)?
MSX vs MSX-2?
PC-88 vs PC-98?
Compare the strengths and weaknesses these systems (video, audio, interface, overall feel and vibe)
What kind of libraries did they each have (fighters, shmups, rpgs)?
How popular was each system (millions sold)?
What are the best games for each system (best emulators)?
Timeline of when they each were released and discontinued (which ones coexisted)?
What kind of crowd did each system attract (students, businessmen, enthusiast)?
Were there system wars like Amiga vs Atari ST (translated flamewar posts)?
What caused them to disappear (replaced by IBM compatibles)?
Is there any kind of retro scene in Japan that reveres these old machines (or is it just a fading memory for old men in pachinko parlors?)?
