I beat the first one on the Anthology collection, but I used a ton of continues and don't really remember any of it. I'd like to try a 1CC run one day, though.

The first metal slug is definitely the easiest to 1cc. If you make it your goal and play once a day you'll find yourself having a lot of fun.

Bought the Analogy for 8 bucks on my PS4 yesterday.

No, kids said dumb shit like this all the time.

>>4076605
I've got news for you kid. Your friends uncle doesn't really work at King.

>>4076605
Kids have always like sounding cooler then they are, this has always been true. With the rise of gaming being informative and knowing things others don't. Often kids would pretend and make up rumors to press other kids. This was of course more popular to do with more popular games. People would make up bullshit like "you can play as luigi in super mario 64" or "you can save aeris/aerith in FFVII" and it would require doing some kind of near impossible bullshit. Because the internet was still primative and guidebooks/magazines were not fully reliable all these rumors were spread like wildfire and because the requirements were often such bullshit most people couldn't disprove. The statement "my uncle works at nintendo" is more representative of that time period where rumors in gaming were still a thing and lying aboutbwhat happens in games was possible. As for why "uncle" and "nintendo" those are just two of the biggest ones people would use. Uncle was probably used as most didn't live with thier uncle so often someone wouldn't have to worry people learning thier bullshiting and nintendo because it's nintendo.

What do you mean underrated? It basically started the speedrunning scene

i also love fidget spinner games

I think Q1SP's best and most timeless quality is its level design, but good level design is difficult to appreciate unless you're looking for it. What happens with most people is that they only remember and appreciate things that pop out the most, such as visuals, set pieces or ostentatious and grand but ultimately static encounters, all things which Quake isn't good at and games such as Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, Unreal and Half-life are better at. I think actually Quake has fantastic visuals, but most people can't look past the brown palette and their cynicism makes them draw idiotic conclusions from this, like accusing Quake of somehow starting the brown and bloom trend in fucking 2006 or so. Quake's lame boss fights also sours the experience for a lot of people.

I would say that the most notable merit of Q1SP's level design is its interconnected design (episode 3 is an exception to this), where the player can go through the rooms in varying order and from varying approaches and encounter enemies from different angles, having the encounter almost be completely different as a result while still remaining deliberately and meticulously designed, giving the player's courses of action have real consequences. This kind of thing is difficult to appreciate unless you specifically look for it and replay the map in a different way. Most people don't see that, they only see the brown palette, they only see how the double shotgun isn't as ever-powerful as Doom II's super shotgun, they only see the lack of cannon fodder-type enemies, they only see the half-baked boss fights.

Thanks for you sharing your 3rd world and underage viewpoint about the subject.

I remember I was begging my parents for a computer in 1999 and they wouldn't get me one because "they are all going to die in a year anyway so what's the point"?

On the actual night of Y2K everybody gathered in the house and waited for airplanes to start falling out of the sky but disappointingly nothing happened.

I enjoyed my Dell Dimension though.

most multidisc games let you save so you can continue off the next disc without issue

I just beat Jade Cocoon, it was alright.

>bought it years ago when Gamestop.com was doing blowout on PS1/PS2
>got it complete in box by some miracle
>remember it has a rental sticker on it
>It was from my hometown
>It was from the Rogers Video I used to visit
>This disc got sold, sent to America, and the fuck huge Gamestop warehouse, and then managed to come back to me, in the same town

It's a crazy little thing.

They're all shit except for the Kenji Eno Trilogy, which is still unsettling and disturbing to this day.

>>4067778
Illbleed still holds up to this day for being the most unique horror game of all time pretty much.

Sweet Home is worth trying, you'd think there's no way you could make a stumpy-head RPG on the NES scary at all but if you play it alone at night you will be scared. I have very little patience for old fashioned RPG gameplay in my old age but I was able to grind a little and get ahead of the level progression without being too horribly bored, they level you at a pretty nice pace

I've never had a Voodoo machine. My retro PC gaming is mostly confined to my modern rig and my old Compaq Armada M700 laptop. I have an Athlon (late 1999) rig in the closet but I don't mess with it much anymore.

The laptop's Pentium II and onboard ATI graphics are good enough IMO. I mostly run DOS games such as Blood since the ESS onboard sound is DOS compatible, at least running inside 98. Haven't tried pure DOS yet and have no reason to.

Not retro.

Sound like mental masturbation to me. Either git gud or get out.

In general, the less save points you have, the harder a game is. SMB Lost Levels is far easier on the SNES, because you can save after every level. Difficulty is mostly about how well you have to perform, and for how long.

>Would we be permitted to have a serious discussion about the concept of difficulty in games?
difficulty is there to keep us playing longer or to pad out the game, it also however presents the player with a sense of self-satisfaction when the problem is eliminated. that satisfaction tends to be fleeting seeing that you will always reach another troublesome area

everything after this post will probably be mindless semantics and others measuring their self-worth on how they waste their free time

yeah if you like games, git gud
