Depends on what you are looking for but the SFC is alright.

>>2864680
I'll be honest with you, I don't like playing this kind of game on a console emulator.
I wanted to be able to play with mouse as well, but I guess there's not a single version that let's you do that, right?
>>
>>2864683
I think Mac Wizardry had that.
There's also the Japanese Windows game but it seems impossible to come by nowadays.
If you're fine with keyboard controls there are the Japanese computer releases from the 80s, particularly the PC-98 one, which are more or less identical to the C64 and IBM port with higher resolution text and graphics and the extra options for Japanese text.
Apple II is obviously the original but it's a bit clunky compared to the ports.

Well, that pretty much answers your question.

I owned a Turbo Express as a kid and had around forty games for it when I sold it in the later mid-90s because I discovered Magic Engine. I liked it when I had it, at least.

One of the 5th gens best games. I honestly didn't find it all that great the first time but I replayed it a few years later and now it's one of my all time favorites. Try it again but go for "A" grades on all stages. It takes some practice but the game really shines once you git gud. Also if you didn't use the 3d controller you didn't play the game the way you were meant to.

So /vr/, I need your help.
In the 90's my parents bought an PC which included demo-CD, which had a car combat-like game, where you drove around in a futuristic arena-like environment. A futuristic car game that isn't about racing, but built around death matches. The story was the same as running man (the Arny somewhat-classic): You were a prisioner in death row and instead of rotting in jail they put you in a futuristic car in an area to duke it out with some other racers.
All I remember from it was that it was somewhat early-ish 3D. Advanced enough to have something in the pixels, but "early" enough to have a burning man sprite go out of the car sometimes when you destroyed one, and if you shot and killed said burning man, you would earn a "mercy kill."
It was almost like a blocky prototype version of the Extreme G bikes... but for PC, not the N64 of course.
If anything, I remember it had 3D-ish lasers and that after you reached your killing quota, you had to drive to the center of the map to leave via a bright andshiny tube. If you didn't, this arena-wide laser would pop up and destroy absolutely everything in the arena, including you.
Also, it bragged that it had a Playstation port "coming soon". Not sure if that ever materialized.
So far I can tell you it isn't Hover, Death Track, Twisted Metal, Carmageddon, Destruction Derby, Mega Race (or its sequel), nor Necrodrome.

There were no player portraits in the HUD. And the vehicles are too big. And there weren't any roads (like I said, it was an arena game)

A long time ago, I started a thread where I posted all the games that Gamest elected as the best releases from their respective years. However, they also did separate two stand-alone books covering the games they considered the best games of all time: one published in 1991 and a second volume in 1998. I'll naturally start with the 1991 list. Keep in mind these are arcade only and Japanese centric.

No. 13 is Tower of Druaga by Namco, which the video for some reason skips. I'm kinda surprised Genpei Tomaden ranks above it, even if only by one slot.

Also, No. 1 is supposed to be Legend of Valkyrie. Adventure of Valkyria was the earlier Famicom version.

That is, the original guide with additional info, I just discovered another glitch I need to add, you'll be unable to 100% the game if you don't talk to the drimogemon cutting the shortcut to the mountain BEFORE Ogre takes over the drill tunnel, I also need to check if you can the leomon stuff as well

Used to play one of them on the Playstation, I think it was the second one. Kind of like Banjo-Kazooie, only not as good. It was an alright game I guess.

I'm just trying to play the original pacman on my phone, but the "official" app is actually slightly different, the timing is off so the patterns don't work properly. I found MAME4droid, and I found about 10 different "puckman.zip" files, but none of them are complete. In particular, they are all missing the "namcopac" files. (Here is the MAMEdb link which shows the complete set of files: http://www.mamedb.com/game/puckman) If anyone can point my in the right direction before I kill myself that would be much appreciated.

Good fucking luck. My best friend and I pirated the shit out of arcade games in, like, 2001 or 2002 as 5th graders with 100% success rate but I can't for the life of me get shit to work now.
All I can suggest is downloading a torrent with the entire set already included.
>>
>>2868791
Yeah I'm not at my computer atm, and I don't really want to torrent a while set to my phone, but I'll definitely do that when I get home if I can't find it.
>>
>>2868785
This is why phones aren't for gaming. Get a used PSP or something dedicated to just that.

I think it'd be neat if daily, we had all played a simple arcade game and see who can get the best score. So I'm going to try that.
Today will be Donkey Kong. I'm using Nestopia and the (JU) version of the rom. No clue what that means, all I know is this has 3 levels, not 4.
Attached is my shitty high score. Only made it to the 2nd loop, didnt really try, just wanted to put a "goal" for you guys to try to beat.
I also made a stupid google doc so we can keep track of scores.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1RirWfkmIaACck8VNnLTXm9k5gmOBBPRt6MkRi22FSWM
Just post a screenshot, the windows frame if you can, and let's just promise not to photoshop, k?
I hope this can be a regular thing, I personally like trying to beat other people scores.
