Super CIC mod and a flash cart there done

>>4121996
Unscrew the plastic shell and put the cart directly into the motherboard.

I mean, that is considering you've already modded the thing to do 60hz.

Buy an AD29 adapter. Beware, some games are region locked with a special chip and will not be playable on a pal console.

By "Myst clones", people are talking about CG adventure games that came out around the same time or after Myst. It was something talked about in gaming mags, but no reviewer ever seemed to point to an actual clone. Pixel artwork and sprite animation was used for graphical adventure games for a few years after Myst was released. By the late 90's pretty much every graphical adventure series had switched to 3D. By '99, the demand for adventure games had mostly dried up.

I wouldn't say Myst killed the genre. It gets flak for being almost brain-dead easy and for getting a new generation of casual gamers into the market, and probably rightfully so. Far too many successful graphical adventure games came out after Myst, I don't know where the "Myst killed adventure games" meme came from. I would say that Doom, it's multiplayer, and the FPS's that came after it had a far bigger effect. The graphical adventure games did very well against the likes of Wolf3D, Doom, Doom 2, and even Quake. Quake's massively popular multiplayer probably did more damage to graphical adventure games than anything.

Fans of the series say Myst and Riven are the only two good titles, and the rest vary by personal taste.

Myst clones certainly exist. People used to term to refer to any first-person slideshow-style adventure game with prerendered graphics (which Myst popularized, even if it didn't invent it), but there are some pretty clear imitators such as Schizm, Alida, and Aura: Fate of the Ages. They imitated not only Myst's mechanics but visual style and puzzle approach (lots of walkways, ornate machinery, and symbol-matching). There's also the RHEM series which is a low-budget one-man creation with also zero story but tons of hard puzzles and maze-like layouts. Pic related.

As for the Myst series, Myst 3 is considerably more simplified and easier than Riven, but is still a superb-looking game with decent, if not great, puzzles. Myst 4 is very uneven. Some areas are gorgeous, some puzzles are excellent, but there is a bunch of cheesy FMV acting, stupid mystical woo-woo bits, and frustrating moments (though I didn't think anything was unfair). Myst 5 is all in realtime 3D and the worlds feel considerable smaller and limited. It's got some good moments but mostly feels like "eh, an okay-ish Myst game, this time in true 3D" with a lame gimmick. I think the entire series is still worth playing but you can probably tell I'm a fan.

And finally, no, Myst didn't kill anything. It spawned new games and didn't hurt established ones. It's not like the next Monkey Island game was ruined by being turned into a Myst clone or anything like that. In fact, some of the most well-regarded adventure games came out well after Myst, such as The Longest Journey in 1999 (which I personally thought was boring, but still).

>It gets flak for being almost brain-dead easy
Since when? The first Myst isn't that hard, but I've never heard people complain about it because it's "brain-dead." If anything the haters are usually saying it's sooo annoying because you pull a lever on some confusing mechanism with no clue as to what it does, even though that doesn't really happen.

The game you're thinking of is Panic Park. If you'd like to known a bunch of good arcade games to emulate, look through here.

HOLY SHIT!!! This is the one!!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

I have been looking for this for years!!!

You only posted this to write Tazmaniavania.
Which is stupid.

I owned this back in the day. Best iteration of Tazmania IMO.

Only Taz game I played was the Genesis one, and I loved it. I know it's flawed, but it has a special place in my heart. I also used to play it during the time Taz-Mania was airing on TV; I loved that show. This game had characters from the series, like the alligators or the redhair guy with the bow.
I remember beating this game every afternoon after school, some stages were really hard, like the minecart level or the elevator level, but eventually I memorized everything and could "speedrun" it, and beat it in less than an hour.
I played it a few years ago again, and finished it, but I struggled a lot in those levels since I didn't remember everything

Nothing particular, there's another version with a gold Neo Geo logo.
Some infos on the company who made it: http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/korea/part2/company-viccom.htm

Download iso. Play it through ePSXe. That should be better.

yes

Gemfire and Liberty or Death is as entry level as Koei gets. Try Uncharted Waters as well and work from there. PTO II is probably their most complex game released in the West. Save it for last.

No, they're NES-on-a-Chip clones, there's no standalone PPU to speak of to piggy back the meme-board onto.

>>4119314
What was confusing about it?
You literally just beat eachother up


Google "/V/ recommended Sega Saturn"
Click game genre to organize by genre

Then after you burn those
Start getting the hidden gems

Marvel vs Capcom 1&2


Make sure to get every single shoot em up
There are so many good ones on the system it's unbelievable


Also recommend "time traveling " by resetting the system clock to Christmas and playing nights Christmas


It's so good

If you never really played fighting games, the best place to start would be Street Fighter II. It's available on the SF Collection on Saturn.
>>4119320
There is no Marvel VS Capcom on Saturn.

>>4119320
I think it's just the speed. I've played SF 2 before, very casually and it definitely wasn't this fast.


I've seen the list, I know what the good games are already. Shmups are my main thing which is why I got one anyway. (Is it worth grabbing a hori arcade pad for shmups? I really like the Saturn d pad as it is)

I'll grab SF2 for Saturn. How's KoF and Waku Waku in terms of approachability and combo difficulty?
