There are known sound issues with MAME and MK. It's not just the volume difference; the sound becomes more and more distorted the longer you play.

>>4125569
It's an issue that has been known for years

Ok, i get it now, but i find odd that on a couple videos on youtube the music sounds a litle better than it does on my computer.
Btw, why does the cpu always end with an uppercut instead of a fatality every time i lose?

>>4125517
Terranigma is ok, the rest are trash.

what a completely garbage opinion from an absolute pleb

Soul Blazer is great, consider it an action puzzle game like Zelda
ActRaiser 2 is pure action sidescrolling all the way through, it's better than the first game in that regard, but lacking something without the sim elements
IoG is the weakest blazer game and is kind of bizarre with strange choices for locales and story events, but it's pretty intriguing if only because of what kind of stuff they actually put in the game, kids die, man
Robotrek is a fun game about building a team of robots and wrecking shit with them
Terranigma is the swan song of Quintet, and it's in no way underwhelming. It's not as good as say, Chrono Trigger, but the content of it somehow seems more important, like it was trying to say something instead of just being entertaining and fantastic.

I think Salamander and Life Force is pretty good.

>>4125450
Play Salamander, Salamander 2, Gradius 2 68K (different game from regular Gradius 2), Nemesis 1 and 2, and Odomedius

>>4125938
Why no Nemesis 3?

>>4125450
Check out Gradius ReBirth for Wii, it's better than V but not as good as the arcade Gradiuses.

>>4125370
I agree. the ability ring is a little clunky to use in this otherwise fast-paced game

>>4125370
>>4125403

switching weapons is supposed to make you vulnerable. You're not intended to be able to quick switch. If they wanted you to quick switch they would have made A just cycle weapons when you press it instead of stopping your movement and opening the ring. Stopping to switch weapons is a commitment and is part of the game design.

> and puts the switching from fixed/free shot to the Mode button instead of down+shot.

that would be nice, but I don't think down+A is that troublesome to use.

Is it possible to 1cc this game without using the dash?

>>4125226
Gauntlet IV on the Megadrive.

>>4125229
fpbp

MAME should also be fine but Gauntlet 4 is a very good port of the arcade game

>>4125229
Does it support four players?

I always recommend Ecco even though it's not for everyone. It's so unique everyone should at least try it.

What kind of games do you like?

Beyond Oasis
Ranger X
Comics Zone
Herzog Zwei
Gaiares

some of my other random favorites.

Im typically a really big fan of all kinds of rpg, adventure games and shmups. When Im in the mood I go for a platformer, but Im not a 2d guy usually. Thanks for the recs.

Lightening Force
Thunder Force 3
Twinkle Tale
Elemental Master
Monster World 4
Vapor Trail
Fire Shark
Valis 3

I couldn't get into mother 3 at all, it felt way too much like a fan game and the graphics put me off. I was a huge earthbound fan but the whole fandom is really exhausting.

What made it special to me was the psi animations and just the overall environments

>>4124683
Earthbound was my first in the series and I loved it. Hadnt played a game that resonated quite as strongly. After playing Mother 3 though, Earthbound just seems like it lacks substance outside of its satire.

>>4124683
I agree, I liked 2 but mother 3 is pretty shitty.
Also, not retro -> REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Dick Kickem?

> Yes, please name him Duke Pukem.

> No monsters, secrets, weapons, soft porn and/or interaction but you should keep items !

>We are sad seeing how many of the classic fps get a nice treatment these days, like Doom, Wolfenstein, Quake or Shadow Warrior except Duke Nukem

Well, they tried.

FirebrandX

If it had blue skies, it's inaccurate.

>>4124624
Wavebeam or FCEUX.

Absolutely agree, the first half is a bore but the endgame is great.

The villa is more interesting than the later parts.

>>4124610
So this game actually gets good at some point?

>>4124487
Youtube.

Collectathon isn't a pejorative term.

I remember even back then that DK64, despite its positive reception, was criticized for focusing too much on collecting widgets.

Keep in mind the game came out at the tail end of the Mario 64-like 3D platformer's heyday. I think people were mostly burned out on the formula by then.

PCs weren't better than consoles for gaming pre-2000, they were only ideal for management games because of keyboards and mice allowing for complex UIs. There were still good games in other genres but they all really paled in comparison to console equivalents.

All you need is Diablo anyway. Earlier multiplayer RPGs like Neverwinter Nights and stuff were good too, though dated by modern standards.

Fire pro series.

>>4123558
Wrestlemania 2000 on N64 had one. It was so fucking broken lol. You could set every single grapple input to a ridiculous powerful move, like every one of your moves would be as strong as the powerbomb etc. You could even set the strong moves to your weak grapple.

>>4123558
WWF Attitude on the Sega Dreamcast. The CAW was still better there than Smackdown 2 at the time. I was able to create characters such as Jason Voorhees or musicians I hated at the time such as ICP, Kid Rock, Fred Durst & Eminem, so that way my wrestler can beat the crap out of them.

Samurai spirits 3 for the Game Boy, best game boy port and the game plays as good as a NGP fighter.

>>4123236
What's that like samurai showdown?

Sonic Jam is the way I play Sonic games nowadays.
It does have some issues, particularly in Sonic 2 with some extra slowdown, but I can excuse that since these weren't emulated but actual ports to the Saturn hardware, Sonic 1 and 3&K play flawelessly, and my favorite thing about it is the time trial modes. I've played the Sonic games too much as a kid I know them by heart, so picking any act from any zone I want to play in any order and try to beat my old time score is always a fun way to play some Sonic for 30 minutes or an hour every now and then.
