I guess I should also mention that the game combined sci-fi and fantasy elements. Like, your prison cell resembles a medieval dungeon. But the guards look like robots and fire plasma guns. I think there's magic involved, too.

>>2807343
Was it real time combat or turn based?

Can you remember who developed it or published it?

>>2807201
Yes.

>>2807201
Thanks anon. I've been trying to remember what that game was for years now. Haven't touched it since I was super young.

>released in early 1990

That shit is only a 90s game by the loosest of definitions.

Like with any other console, it's only worth getting if there's games on it that you want to play.

The reason it became so precious to modern collectors is because it was a relatively obscure console in the west that many people missed back in the day, which actually got good support in Japan, it's the PC Engine of the 5th gen.

>>2807091
I forgot to specify, I was talking about the controller

I often hear how it's one of the best

>>2807092

Oh, yeah definitely, I can confirm that.
I think it's my favorite controller period. The size, the shape, the d-pad (best thing on it), the buttons, the shoulder buttons... it's perfect.

The model 2 or the japanese one is the way to go, the model 1 american/european model is different.

Mechwarrior 2 is one of my favorite games. I play it quite a bit.

Recently, I tried beating the game using only a Firemoth and no starmates. Some missions (like the fourteenth mission of the jade falcon campaign) were a real pain in the ass to get right, but it was a lot of fun. I'll never use a heavy again.

Right now, I'm trying to do the same thing on hard. It's going about as well so far, as I'm a lot better at using the Firemoth now than I was when I started.

GBL is, unfortunately, garbage. Mercenaries is fun but I can't seem to get it to work acceptably on my computer.

>>2807084
Nothing like cruising at 312kph in a MASCd out Firemoth.

I sleep with my Titanium Trilogy cds next to my bed. Honestly Mercs was and is my favourite game of all time. Ill leave the goddamn cave before the patrol passes if I please.

>>2807084
Do you use MechVM? Mine runs fine so long as you dont alt tab out of it. Theres tons of workarounds posted at Mech2.org I think its still up

>>2806559
But I want to play Wario Land really fucking badly and I keep hunching over it and it hurts.

>>2806562
Ask your mom for some pointers

Play it with a source port, like GZDOOM, or Zandronum
zandronum.com
http://devbuilds.drdteam.org/gzdoom/
Just put the DOOM.WAD file from your steam version folder and put it in the same folder as the source port you're using

>>2806385
Alternatively, if you want to enjoy Doom as close to the original as possible, you can try Chocolate Doom.
https://github.com/chocolate-doom/chocolate-doom

This source port has an easy to use setup tool right out of the box. Just pop in your DOOM,WAD and play.

>>2806385
I have no idea what that means. I'm fine with running the Steam version, I just watch to change how to shoot. As you can tell I'm not very computer literate.

Dark Souls. It's pretty much Zelda for grown ups.

>>2804987

Not retro.
And I wouldn't call any King's Field or Souls game "lively", exactly.

Fushigi no Umi no Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water for Megadrive.

Starts pretty much identical to the series, then it goes on a different direction. I'm on chapter 3 and it has some really dark moments already, but overall it's pretty comfy.

At the end of stage fucking three the boss is impossible. If you get your arm torn off in the beginning, which is bound to happen 80% of the time, you can't hit him, as he just tears off your body.

Lagoon for snes. Fun game similar to Zelda. It came out early in the snes life so the graphics aren't the best for snes game, but not bad.

>>2804849
Fun game but yeah boss fights suck for the reason you stated though you can still attack without arm. You can rip arm off other borgs but not sure if you can remove torso too.

>>2804715
I remember reading about Snatcher when I was younger but never finding it in stores.

SD >>>>>> Original

>>2804651
I thought Amy's look from back then was much better, the red on pink is too monotone for my tastes.

It's okay. Basically a lesser version of Fighting Vipers.

I can never remember how to perform special moves in this game

and yet I can never bring myself to set the game to Automatic.

I've also never played as Bark or Bean.

Third Strike mostly. I'm always playing that and a second fighting game I'm usually switching between. Like, I would try to get good at kof 98, then grow up of it and try Real Bout, then Last Blade, Garou, Rival School... but Third Strike is the only one I never drop so my skills stay somewhat solid.
>How do you stay motivated?
I'm into fighting games. I have a brother. He's into fighting games. Now guess what.

>>2804585

Nice. Always loved fighters but never got any good at them. Never had a group to play with, tried to get one going in MvC2 when it hit XBL, I went 20-0 the first night and nobody wanted to play after that. Whoops.

Only game I ever got any good at was Pop'n Music, up to the level 40 mark anyway. I got into the music so much and the feeling of "playing" it that I just played for hours every day for at least a year.

>>2804572
i don't practice. ever heard of save states? i'd rather practice for my exams you freaks.

good music, good post

First was better than the second.

I wish there was more strategy in the world building part, and it's quite short, but a fun game.

Great concept, mediocre execution.
Everything about the game was a tad too simple. Still an enjoyable experience overall.

>>2804120
Second has way better action stages.
