Why was Leon's uniform different from every other officer in the RPD? Other than Kevin from the Outbreak games, no one else dresses like that. Neither of them are SWAT, nor STARS. Was this shit ever explained beyond "they're protagonists so they have to look different"?

Wasn't he a trainee or rookie or some such?

>>2863418
Looks like a tactical uniform, really. The extra padding in the elbows, and the vest pouches somewhat support that. If memory serves, most of the officers you encounter in the games I have played were just in their dress blues.

Better graphics, resolution and soundtrack, it's based on the megadrive version so if you played the snes you'll find the level design a bit weird.
The only way to run this thing on a modern os is to install windows 3.1 on dosbox and mount it to cd-rom drive, pretty annoying.

Other than graphics it's identical to the megadrive port. Also, play on hard mode.

My first 3D console was an N64 and a copy of Ocarina of Time, yet I admit its library was infinitely inferior to the PS1

Why can't other N64 bros admit it?

>Why can't other N64 bros admit it?

I don't think anybody on /vr/ is contesting that the N64 had a smaller library. That's beside the point, though. People enjoy the platform for the quality of games available for it. I've also felt it worthwhile to invest in a WonderSwan Color, even though it has comparatively much fewer games than the GBA. There's no other way for me to play the Makai Toushi SaGa remake. Plus I did think the WSC remakes of FF1 and 2 were much more solid than their GBA counterparts.

Anyway, I owned both an N64 and a PS1 at some point during my youth, so both have a lot of nostalgia for me. N64 mostly for Ocarina of Time and Smash Bros., and PS1 for RPGs.
>>
Arguing that a library is inferior is a completely pointless exercise. If my favorite games of all time were Super Mario 64 and OoT, then the N64's library would be superior to the PS's.
>>
PS1 had a bigger and better library but it's hard not to admit that the N64 had a disproportionately large number of influential games.

Don't read guides, don't listen to people. The game isn't the hardest, so you can forge your own way through it pretty comfortably.

There's a ton of random shit that can happen though (and stuff that you won't see coming and can't exactly prepare for), so multiple runs are definitely better.

Overrated:

FFT - What if war was fought by a blond Mary Sue with plot twists by those who never played Tactics Ogre and an ending that completely removed the ramifications of war and would be inexcusable for an /a/ ending

Baldur's Gate series - epic beginning that ends up being a chase for a boss that left MC behind and a sequel that left most of the interesting questions on the downfall of a party out of the player's hands and just hand waves it in the beginning as evil mage = bad ass, oh and ass pull story power creep where game becomes about the unlikely rise to power about guy with comedic companions /did not finish playing

Suikoden 2 - politics and betrayal potential ruined by buddy buddy ending cheapening everything in war

Xenogears - Freudian plot potential ruined by hand waved second arc that just shoe horns love interests in

Silent Hill/Clock Tower/Resident Evil - Horror Game that only makes sense if characters were Mary Sue not in terms of combat but being a magnet for a plot device monster

Underrated:

FF8 - What if Squall died theory existential dream theory

Shin Megami Tensei series - three way morality choice that leads to a real face off against a god like being with Ass Pull system that at least explains why the MC can reach that point at all in the end

Saga series - actually has the guts to tell adventures where companions don't stay in one place. More organic than Suikoden/Baldur's Gate and immediately gives players choices on who to choose

Tales of Destiny - surprise Leon ending if initially defeated only

X-com series - companion loyalty simulator

Lunar series - actual implications for hero prototypes getting old

Hell Night - Horror game where MC is not Mary Sue exception while also being Mary Sue

Romance of the Three Kingdoms series - MCs are actually possible to be grunts in war if wrong tactics or stupid decisions are made. VI actually shows events have to align for history to actually repeat itself and nobody is a CRPG/JRPG hero

What are some essential game translations?

>>2863970
Dunno about essential, but there were a couple of games like Mother 3 and Seiken Densetsu 3, or maybe Terranigma? Haven't really kept track of what's gotten rereleases on actual official platforms.
>>
>>2863970
Just look on RHDN for fully completed translations that appeal to you.

>>2864129
I have been ones I got so far were

Romancing Saga - SO HAPPY ITS DONE
Romancing Saga 3 - Has some glitches but I loved it before
Gunmans Proof - Tried it out before but want to actually beat it
Live a Live - Same as above
Dragon Ball Z Super Saiya Densetsu - Want to try out the new translations instead of the crap I played back in the day

Aside from the obvious, (Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Megaman) what's good on the NES?

I just got an Everdrive 64, and am pleasantly surprised to see it can emulate the NES. I was a PS1 kiddie, so I have no experience with 8 bit gaming.

My favorite NES game is probably Monster Party out of sheer absurdity. If including Famicom stuff tho then my favorite is Gimmick, which is definitely the better game.

Did GB games age poorly?
55 posts and 4 images submitted.

Only because the batteries tend to die after 20 years, but it's easy to replace them if you have a bitgame screwdriver.

SML doesn't use battery anyway, so not that particular game.

Did YOU age poorly?

very funny you autist.

>>2860839
Yes. Funny how I still get the same amount of enjoyment from NES games that i played back in the day, but i find the same GB games that i used to love to be practically unplayable these days. But i think it's LARGELY because i'm playing them on my computer screen now. gb games really should be played on a small screen.

Have any of you actually beat this game? Is it best played 1 player or co-op? 55 levels seems like it could get brutal towards the end. Regardless, I'm hoping to get the cartridge this week.

never have beaten it, own only the sega genesis version because i like not having my view clouded by a map, fucking love the game.

Beat it using the BCDF password. Probably the hardest game I've been able to beat. Definately better 1P, co-op is fun but makes the game that much harder.

Enjoy it, anon. Wonderful little game.
