I dunno, 3DS Shinobi maybe? I'll be honest, I haven't played any of the games in this thread except for a short spat of Altered Beast (which wasn't my cup of tea).

I ought to play Splatterhouse given the day though. Thanks for the reminder OP. Here's to you getting some good recs.

Don't forget Spartan X, X2, and Vigilante

>Splatterhouse and Altered Beast are also single lane beat'em ups but they feel kinda spammy and not as technical, in my opinion.
>but they feel kinda spammy and not as technical, in my opinion.

Neither of the games you mentioned are "spammy" actually. Both are very methodical games that require previous knowledge in enemy placement and boss patterns if you want to play efficiently (i.e. 1cc).

Genny version of Altered Beast is so easy that you can just improvise your way through it, but the arcade version is another story.

You haven't really finished that game because you emulated. Your victory was a hollow one, you've only beaten a cheap imitation of the game and wasted your time.

If we're talking retro, then the last one I finished was Dragon Quest VII. Very long, but also very enjoyable. Great adventures were had.

What game is that, OP?

Last one for me was Duck Tales, and before that, 100% clear of Kirby's Dream Land 2.

I gave up on Donkey Kong Country, I just don't like the game very much and decided it wasn't worth my time to clear. Now I'm either going to work on clearing Perfect Dark or Super Mario Kart. Not sure which one will be more cruel.

I kind of like how Perfect Dark requires you to more around and really 'learn' the right way to beat it, but it kind of feels annoying in a sense too, you know? Maybe because it's more difficult to aim than I'm used to with KBM shooters, and because you don't have tons 'o' health like in Doom and its kin.

I'm on the Chicago level where you infiltrate that DataDyne front, and I keep getting potshotted by guards even when I shoot out the lights and use cover. Guess I'm still a chump.

It's fun, but hard

There's a remake of the first games in the works that might up the notch over the IIGS and Amiga ports.
$3 isn't a whole lot but you could always just emulate it first. Do you have experience with other party based dungeon crawlers like Wizardry or Might and Magic?

I played a little ways into the first one earlier this year when Amazon was giving away the Android version (it's just Apple IIgs disk images and the kegs emulator for Android).

The oldest RPG I'd played prior was Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves for Atari 800 when I was a kid in the 80s, which is still "modern" in the way it handles recording changes in the world, and overall a pretty user-friendly game.
I'd been aware of Wizardry and knew a kid that had it, but never actually played anything like that myself.

The big thing that surprised me in The Bard's Tale was the way it doesn't save any kind of world-flags/progress of any kind. The only thing you save is your characters.
Upon learning that, at first I figured progress would be kept track of via acquiring items that you save in character inventory, and there does seem to be some of that, but that's not really the main thing you do: Recording progress through The Bard's Tale seems to mostly take place outside of the game itself, in the form of filling out your own map and recording the hints, riddles, passwords, that sort of stuff that you encounter while exploring.

I'd originally planned on downloading maps other people had made and playing it on a sort of easy-mode, but I quickly came to the conclusion pretty quickly that you can't really play Bard's Tale like that. Navigating and learning the dungeons is the core of the game, so you're not really playing it if you use someone else's maps.

GAMING MISCONCEPTIONS*** I hate mobile

I think as a kid I probably kept pressing Y to run in Yoshi's Island even though you don't really need to, too used to play Mario.

I thought that pokemons were able to evolve slowly in front of my eyes as they grew stronger and always searched for new characteristics in their sprites...

You can play the english translation of wonder project J2.
Yes.

>>2768654
different menu. dunno how well it works

>>2768649
No, it's only an imitation of the electrical circuits in the real game. The timings are all off, the games won't count as beaten and you won't have achieved anything if you use one. You should always use official cartridges.

>inb4 just grind it

If I wanted to waste my time doing the same exact thing again and again, I´d play wow

>>2768421
Most action games are redoing the same thing again and again until you memorize patterns and git gud. Bad analogy.

>defiling an otherwise nice game thus far?
you ain't even got magic son, fb generation I swear

Odd that there's even a ps2 iso in there

>>2768371
Ps2 tribes was goat. There's still people playing it

>>2768371
Well, emulators are completely legal and it should be possible to make an iso that could be run on a normal console if they could do something like that for demo disks.

just so happens that tag has all the characters from 3 plus more
BUT 3 runs at higher resolution
VERDICT: Tekken 5

Not even being a shitter here, why bother playing T3 or Tag 1 when the community has moved on to Revolution, Tag 2 and soon Tekken 7?
What's the point of playing the braindead CPU?

>VERDICT: Tekken 5
Is the arcade emulation actually good?

>>2768158
Of course it's a platformer.

>>2768158
Sure, from now on let's call it a floater.

In the name of all things sacred, somebody flush it down.

I really like the city at nighttime. Maximum comfy level reached playing with headphones in the dark with the only light coming from my game gear. I loved this game when I first saw my cousin playing at nighttime around level 9. I had some nirvana going on and was playing level 9 for a good 10 minutes or so before I couldn't clear anymore lines. My comfort level reached maximum potential.

>>2767945
Same here, except with GBC Tetris. Infinite portable games are perfect for cold winter nights.

People hate it?

Only legitimate complaint is that the ending and scoring system is broken

Sounds like Knuckles Chaotix, but bad.

Moot was deified. The chans tell tales of him. Few know the truth. He was an underageb& weeb once...as were we all.

>>2767440
Over time we became less human and more...autistic. Moot would enter the state of change and emerge with a new board. Some years after the master, our evolution would follow.

Got bored of spamming this shitty thread on /v/ so you thought you'd give it a go on /vr/?

I recently played through this. it really is punishingly hard, although it's an excellent game. I like how they kept switching up the gameplay mechanics throughout.

>>2767305

to be specific, I meant the NES game, not arcade.

This is the L3 game over screen.
>>2767270 is L1
and >>2767269 is L2.

I've yet to progress past L3... It does say it soon will be easy, but I'm not sure.
