Also a super close up for all the screen fetishists and just because it's so very pretty. Monster World never looked so good!

UHDTV, PC with two titan x and all emulators and all Roms

I don't know why, but that contoller looks like it was designed for special needs children

I dunno but I can tell you that the reason you think that is because you haven't played 1-3 or 13

>>2794009
I love 1-3, especially the NES versions.

>>2794005
because the job system makes neets mad

I recently got a Wario Land 2 game for GB, at first I had problems making it run properly, the nintendo logo appeared chopped off, but after cleaning the contacts it got better (the logo).

However that's it, the nintendo logo displayed perfectly and then two things would happen;

1. Absolutely nothing, the nintendo logo stayed there for eternity

2. The nintendo logo will disappear and then nothing.

After cleaning the contacts and the whole board even further I could sometimes get past that screen and being able to actually see the clouds and the main screen, emphasis in sometimes because it would freeze almost instantly and the logo appeared chopped off again after restarting.

I don't know what I did, but this barely happens anymore, what happens now is that the game runs properly, it shows the intro where the monsters flood the castle and leave that alarm clock thingie, then when I get the "Chapter 1..." screen, and pressing A or Start, the game just resets itself.

I just don't know what else to try, I even changed the battery but no dice, I just want to play this game guys...

>>2794987
Resolder ROM and RAM.
Clean the contacts more.
Clean the cartridge connector in the GB as well.
That's what I can suggest against such sporadic faults.
Do other games work without any problems?

Reposting this because I didn't get a definite awnser:

Bought a RGB cable the guy said it was had screen foiling instead of shielding it doesn't get rid of the screen buzz, my question is: Is it possible to apply the same stuff on this other cable I have so that the screen buzz will disappear?

AC coupling capacitors

George Wood is just weird. He's this out of touch old man, and he's given the job of reviewing kids games. He makes so many weird observations.

>>2814283

How long did his show go on for? I've seen him take on PS1/N64 games, but nothing past that.

Fantasia on Sega Genesis

>>2813129
didnt they recall that one?

Pretty sure most of the non Capcom/Sega stuff wasn't that amazing.

Maridia

this is a discreet furry post, isn't it?

>>2811294
Was this British? I don't remember it at all. Looks cool though.

First game was before my time, but my sister was super obsessed with the sequel.

>>2806752
older brother to a little sister here

she always, always hated fighting. i think i turned her off of games by being too competitive when we were kids. she'd be proud of a high score then i'd beat it easily and tease her instead of encouraging her. i honestly regret that a lot, since she had great potential to be really good at games. (she was always clever and clutch; there was a time when she was better at tetris than i was despite me playing more often, for example.)

my advice to older siblings: always encourage your younger sibling and don't be a jerk. in every single way, in the short term and in the long run, it will be better for both of you.

>big brother taught me how to play Mario

>brother taught me how to play Sonic

>brother taught me how to play Mortal Kombat. we even started a Mortal Kombat klub with our friends and made our own costumes

>first time playing our brand new N64 was together

>first time beating Final Fantasy VII was when my brother and I played the game together.

>he was also there the first time I finished IX

>first time we played our PS2 was together

We both loved games as kids, especially Final Fantasy. Shared a lot of good moments playing games with him.

Who said it's ogre? Play Solstice.

You should feel good about yourself, I could never beat this.

Equinox left me with the need to play only linear action games for 2 months.

Berzerk.

I was more of a Coleco kid.

>>2804752
Berzerk was a hell of a lot of fun! I also had a Colecovision but the weird mushroom like joysticks rubbed me the wrong way.

Literally one of the two games I own for the 2600, and it is golden.

who gives a shit

>caring so much about some random poll in a website
>call other people autists

that's so random... pokemon vs mario 3?

mario world vs final fantasy viii?

wut

Which one? SotN? The first?

The first was more about placement relative to the platforming. It flowed together well because you could generally move forward and strike pretty consistently without loads of weird pauses and hesitations. The second actually fell apart in that regard. The enemies didn't seem especially well designed outside of that.

How about Rondo of Blood? I've been playing through the series and it has my favorite enemy designs so far. I constantly find myself stopping to admire them.

>>2812806
I've only played the first two but I've been meaning to get around to the others. I kind of feel like I have an obligation to beat the second first before moving on to the third but it's just not my type of game.
