Give up

play games you like, for fun

Don't know if this will work for you, but I fixed it for myself by only playing new games via real carts on real physical hardware.

Having to get up and manually switch games puts a real barrier in front of 'just play play something else' urges. Also, having to buy or trade for games added a sense of justification to play it. And if I don't like it or am unwilling to really play it, I sell or trade it away.

I guess that might be nice - but almost certainly not. Does this guy look like a coder to you? Or even someone who would hire coders? He probably doesn't even know Primal Rage 2 is a thing people want to play.

So...is it another Android based system?

Lol @ primal rage being a selling feature of anything

Loved to play Pokémon Yellow or Mario Tennis on my GBC when I was sick.

Metroid for sure

Better than Americans, worse than Japs desu

Why are europeans obsessed with the same games? Those are what I call "anti-classics".

They're everywhere.

>games that anyone worth their salt would have played on each retro console? Not just games that are good, but games that turn heads when someone says they haven't played them.

Alright I'll give it a shot.

Came here to post pretty much the same screen cap.

>>4123831
I love how hyped the final levels are.

>>4123831
A really good mix of "realistic" illusionistic characters, vehicles, backgrounds and animations while still being very clear to oversee what is going on. This makes everything feel so natural and smooth on top of the controls.
Good sense of humor.
Fun to play co-op.
Noob-friendly to get into for the most part without being too easy.

Tons of setpieces, no filler.

Yeah, SotN is pretty. There were a lot of awful ternds in the 90's that SotN just avoided entirely. Many games were going for pre-rendered 3D to 2D sprites, and other gimmicks. Instead SotN opted for traditional sprite work and then just took it to the next level.

Look at Mega Man X4-6 for a more typical 2D game of that era. They're quite ugly.

Playstation had a lot of strong 2D.

DD is amazing. It's much more than the "Mega Man knock off" some people make it to be.

Bucky O'Hare is great but... so much trial&error with death penalty it can be irritating.

Those aren't Kickmaster though.

>>4123137
or Shatterhand.

Only thing I liked about it more than 1 was the more stable frame rate, would hit 60fps more often.

I think the soundtrack is really good, albeit corny.

I do not like Knux/Rouge stages, and Tails/Robotnik stages are frighteningly boring considering they're mecha rampages.

I would put more of a focus on the Sonic/Shadow Stages, but improve the level design and some of the mechanics to make it less "on rails"

Is the PC version the definitive version or are there lots of pros and cons to consider like with SA1?

>>4121306
It works well but only if you plan on plugging it into a TV, or taking it places, or whatever. If you sit at your computer most of the time anyway, then just play on that.

It's not THAT difficult but there are times where I find it a little inconvenient and unintuitive

>>4121306
I used the same kit, it was pretty easy to set up.

Langrisser 2/ Der Langrisser (Genesis and SNES)
Metal Marines / Militia (SNES)
The Shining Force games (Genesis)
Feda: The Emblem of Justice (SNES)

Im playing ogre battle but I find myself being too protective of my units. Since they gain experience.

Dunno if I should treat them as if they are explendable. Like a boss softening party or something

>>4120347
This. But Langrisser 2 > Der.

>>4120473
KoL was terrible. Battles were too long and once you get the better classes like Knight and a few magic weapons, it was easier than LUCT with bows. Plot was also retarded.

It's fine.

the only hard part about megaman 3 is doc robot

and that's only because i can never remember the boss weaknesses in 3...

after 1 and 2 they stopped making much sense

>>4119283
yeah how the fuck am I supposed to know what Top Man is weak to?

Best jobs for a casual playthrough are Ninja's. Monks are also good because they're economical.

General Tips:

Secondary Action: Item on everyone is a good
idea for your first playthrough.

Chemist: Learn Phoenix Down on everyone. Auto-Potion is a nice addition if you can get it.

Squire: Learn Gained JP Up, Move+1, and Accumulate

Knight: Knights are terrible. Get to Level 2 for Monk, learn something like Weapon Guard/Parry.

Archers: Also kind of suck. Nothing really useful besides Concentrate.

Monk: One of the best jobs. Punch Art is good and versatile. Punching is better than most weapons early on.

Priests and Black Mages are good, but they require a huge amount of JP for the different spells which makes them really lackluster unless you're using the JP trick to avoid grinding JP.

experimentation is half the fun OP, just keep two save files

math wizards are super broken but you should probably avoid them for your first time since they are a bit tricky to use
