I liked the novelty of the extra information in it.
Who else with me?

Anyone have a link to download the Brain Lord's manual in Japanese, scanning ?
PDF or images compressed in zip.
in internet I only found the American one:

No. Why?
Just played this game, it was really fun.

Let's have a discussion so the thread stays alive and more people will see OP's question.
What are some other games like Brain Lord?
In style, 7th Saga.
In gameplay, Soul Blazer.

great game.
but now I want to see the Japanese manual to see the artwork of the characters.

Some of my earliest childhood memories involve doing this and tinkering with that damned toaster trying to make something appear on the screen. Every time I got it to work it felt like a victory. If I acquired another NES I'd probably be using an Everdrive so hopefully this wouldn't be a major issue anymore.

Probably best to change out that 72-pin connector, too. Usually the easiest way to fix having to shuffle the cart around for 10 minutes.

So I've started playing the Final Fantasy series and I decided to begin with 4. I do have to say, it's pretty fun. The story is neat and I enjoy Cecil's character. Anything you guys wanna talk about regarding this game and the series in general?

>I decided to begin with 4.
This is the worst mistake you could possibly make, short of starting with 10 or 13.
You're going to be judging the others based on 4 now.

Four is the FF that I always recommend to start with

How is that bad? 4 is pretty middle-of-the-road in terms of quality. I think it's the best one to start with desu senpai

No, just get a Wii U Pro, DS4 or get a USB solution to your favorite console controller.

I was considering either of these two options myself:

Nah, it's a bad controller for retro gaming because of the D-Pad design, the way it's shaped you will often inadvertently press diagonals instead of the main four directions.
I've sold mine on eBay not long ago.

The last 6 games I have beaten are retro games, I have only been playing these games for half a year.
Streets of Rage 2 on the 3DS, managed to 1cc it in hardest (mania seems impossible to me, I guess it is only for multiplayer)
Ecco the Dolphin on the 3DS
Sonic 2 on the 3DS
Zelda oracle of Seasons on the 3DS
Axelay on hacked wii (managed to 1cc it)
Equinox on hacked wii (took me 2 months and a half, because the game is so hard and draining I would only be in the mood to play it once or twice per week)
While playing all those retro games, I realized I have a large backlog of modern games
right now
Wii
Zack and Wiki
Okami
Metroid Prime Trilogy (the 3 prime games)
Zelda collection for Gamecube (Nes ZELDA 1 and 2 which I have already beaten, Ocarina and Majora which I have never played)
Mario 64 in vc
Sin and Punishment in vc
Wave Race in vc
On Wii U
Bayonetta
Wonderful 101
Zelda Windwaker
3DS
Monster Hunter 4
Etryan Odyssey 4
PC
A shitload of almost free Steam sales games and humble bundle games.
Pretty much the only games I actually beat are retro games.
I also work and have a family, so not that much free time, perhaps 6-10 hours per week of videogames.
I could probably not buy a game for one or two years and dedicate mysef to beating my backlog while also playing retro games on the 3ds or emulating them on the wii, but it will be hard for me to not buy new games next year, even if I will not play them, and it is even hard for me now to not go to my country's e-bay or amazon and buy games if I find some good deal.
Today I almost buy Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2, Silent Hill shattered Memories and a Gamecube Prince of Persia, and at this rate I may be able to play them in 2017.
How do you handle your backlog if you play both modern and retro games? and how do you deal with the fact that through emulation you have the full libraries of snes, genesis, nes, ps1 etc at your disposition? how do you choose what to play?

The last game I have beaten was Golden Axe almost 6 months ago.
My backlog of games is nearing 8k games. And I plan on buying 3 more consoles, and I need to finish building my mame machine.
>>
>>2796525
Also need a way to handle my backlog, because it doesn't stop growing.

By accepting that the idea of a backlog is stupid to begin with. Stop making video games a chore you feel the need to finish. As long as you are enjoying yourself it doesn't matter that you're not beating them. Just play what you feel like man.

Let's think back at the game covers of yesteryear and admit to ourselves that they have barely anything to do with the game they contain.

goddamn, this game is great
the tank controls are clunky, the jump isnt always responsive when it should, and HOLY SHIT GIVE ME TIME TO PREPARE TO FIGHT THIS FUCKING BEAR, but its everything I could ever want out of an indiana jones-like game
Kinda wish the camera worked better too
It looks amazing for its time, too

The classic (1 - 4) Tomb Raiders have their own special charm, Anon, and it ain't seeing polytits that could put a fuckin' eye out. I'm glad you've discovered them. After you're through with Last Revelation, you could try giving Chronicles a spin, but due to the rushed nature of the game you won't be any the poorer skipping it.
BTW: Stella's Tomb Raider guides are best Tomb Raider guides.

Have you played indiana jones and the infernal machine?
It's pretty much tomb raider but with indiana jones.

Fuck off the jump is total garbage. If any game came out with controls as bad as PS1 Tomb Raider today it'd get universally panned as a 1/5 game like THPS5 (which controls better than Tomb Raider)

SNES JRPG thread!
While I really enjoy old school western RPGs like Fallout, Elder Scrolls and Arcanum, what made me crazy was JRPGs, especially SNES ones.
Some of my hipster picks are:
Live a Live: Not really a hipster pick, but the game is just fucking awesome, a lot of different characters to play, each one with REALLY different gameplay (a full horror thriller with 0 fights, a ninja mission, Street Fighter, etc). In my opinion it's the best JRPG for SNES, even better than the great classics because how creative it is. Of course it has some flaws, like the battle system is not that smooth, but even so it's a great game.
Dual Orb II: Generic JRPG, but I just fucking love the graphics on this one (pic related), the fact that every character and enemy had a attack animation, pretty much like BoF2, also made me crazy.
Emerald Dragon: I played this one mostly for the plot (generic as fuck dragon x grill romance, love it) but I never got bored of the battle system, even though you just control the main character in fight. This is a personal favorite.
Rudra no Hihou: Already a cult classic, the fact that you learn new spells by writing their names is a pretty unique system. Of course you can just search a faq for the most OP spells, but what's truly cool is finding prefixes and suffixes through the game and making your own spells. Also great graphics on this one.
Of course these are just hipster picks for translated games, and there's also a shitton of non-translated games that seems to be great.
Also did anyone ever played Arabian Nights? I waited so long for the translation but never got the time or the patience to play it.

That screenshot is awesome.
Never seen an RPG use that perspective before, at least as good as that.

Live a Live was a really cool one. It might be a hipster pick honestly, it has some credit now but it's still a relatively obscure game I would say.
