I used to play this game a lot on mame.
It's pretty fun, though it gets old quick. I was disappointed that they never made a sequel.

It's the same damn gimmick lol

Still a terribly playing edge-lord fighter.

What is strange is that WeaponLord was also a "too-edgy-4-me" game, but plays so well it still has a following today.

i got some cheap broken controllers and the only one i hvent been able to fix is this one.

I guess someone tried to clean it but instead of using just alcohol they actually scratched the black contact pads on the board.

Is there a way to fix this?

is that a yes or a no?

im thinking about coating the exposed board with some conductive paste, but im not sure if it will damage the rubber pads with normal use, which i guess it will.

If im not able to fix it since the pad isnt worki ng at all, i think ill use use it for making an arcade stick. always wanted to make one for my Snes.

good thinking, youre gonna waste the valud of an old controller on some conductive ink at the risk of the end result being still shit, might as well just use the circuit for something else

Finders/Keepers T H R E A D.

So yesterday while walking home i found this 21" KV-21T1D CRT next to a pile of bulk trash. And i am thinking to myself, this is mine, don't care if it doesn't turn on anymore it will be good for parts.

So i carried the little japanese fucker home, hooked an MD up, switched it on and rejoiced.
Everything is working fine. So now i have 3 Sony CRT's. One Hi Black, one Super Trinitron (this little fucker) and one FD Trinitron.
One never can have enough Sony CRT's. Also finders/keepers thread. What did /vr/ find lately?

I've been wondering, what's the common technique for looking up words in Kana only games? How do you differentiate between same sounding homonyms?
7 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
>>4038740
Scene context, sentence context, and consideration of the target age group. If it's a game for kids, it's easy enough to assume they're not going to be throwing around a lot of difficult or uncommon words.
>>
>>4038740
Common sense, generally.

Honestly, kana only is a poor choice for a first game, those titles only existed because of screen and memory limitations. You're much better off with slightly later children's titles that have furigana. Games aren't a great choice for learning, especially early on. When you reach an intermediate level with a few VNs under your belt, you'll find stuff like this completely trivial.

>You're much better off with slightly later children's titles that have furigana.
I've never found a retro game that uses furigana, not even in the 32bit generation.

I want to play Raiden II and DX, but have no idea what emulator to use. The rom I found doesn't work with the emulators I have.

It's been years since I've done arcade emulation, and the last version of MAME i used for that was from a shmup pack that came from here a few years ago. Can you help me out?

What's a turn based strategy game on GOG that has short matches, like 30 minutes to an hour long? I love Civ and MoO and HoMM like anyone else but I need something fun like that I can play a full game of in short bursts.

Saw a Sega Saturn NTSC 1st Model for $20 buck at a local yard sale.

Any reason I should go back and grab it? Came with two controllers, light gun, 4 games (Mortal Kombat 2, Daytona USA, GP Moto, sports game can't remember the title)

I'll pay you double that plus shipping to send it to me.
Or you know, buy it if you wanna play those games? Most of the good Saturn stuff is expensive as shit (none of those games are valuable) so you'll need to be willing to mod the system or shell out big bucks if you wanna play most of the other good games.

ITT, post games/series you like that everyone else seems to hate.

Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 was my favorite fighting game as a kid, way better than more "serious" fighting games like Street Fighter 2 or Fatal Fury/KOF/Garou/whatever. I'd never play MK competitively or anything but it's just fun as hell. Raiden was my main. UT-SAMAGAMAHAAAA!

I played the hell out of UMK3 on my Genesis, at the time I hadn't played any fighting game with that much content. Its great.

I think people are turning around on MK, partially because of the new games but I'm seeing more people look back on the 2d ones more fondly.

Has anyone ever bought a defective Nintendo, Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis from an official store in the 80s/90s?

Where would someone buy these products, how much were they worth? Where can I find a website of the top selling stores that sold these 3 products, I'm very interested in this era of gaming.

By the SNES/Genesis era, you could walk into almost any store and buy one. Liquor stores sold consoles, department stores had kiosks, fucking gas stations sold them sometimes.

>Has anyone ever bought a defective Nintendo, Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis from an official store in the 80s/90s?
No i was too young back then to remember anything my earliest memories go back to 2001/2002 and it depends on what you mean by official store as well.

When it comes to defective products it mostly is a game of chance it sure has happened but i do not know the rates of it and when it happened i'm damn sure both the companies fixes the mistake
>Where would someone buy these products, how much were they worth?
How do you know it is defective from the beginning and not due to accident?
>Where can I find a website of the top selling stores that sold these 3 products, I'm very interested in this era of gaming.
Walmart had video games, toys r us had video games, kb toys had video games, kmart had video games, sears had video games etc.
>>4037398
I remember supermarkets having them even when it was far past the 90's (back in the PS2 slim days).
>>
So you're asking how much a broken console is worth?

Not much, unless it's an easy fix then just what someone will give you for parts.

Could anyone in possession of a Snake's Revenge Tiger Handheld plese give me a high quality picture of the printed background, the surrounding artwork, and another picture of the game started up so the UI is visible. The reason I am asking is because I want to attempt to recreate the game in GameMaker Studio to further familiarise myself with the engine before I get to work on making a real game.
Thank you.

Hol' up, hol' up. Is you sayin Snake's Revenge Tiger Handheld aint a real game??

Are there any kind of MAME styled emulators for Tiger games? I am sure gaming historians would want to preserve such games.

You've ruined the game for yourself by trying to play an action game with touchscreen controls.
>>
>>4066150

It is legit finicky. Replayed it recently thinking I would be able to do it easy now that I'm older but nope.

Doesn't ruin the entire game for me though. Don't even think you need it to finish the game in the first place.

Does it also work with N64 and GCN?
>>
>>4065614
No, dumb summer poster. N64 doesn't output RGB or component signals, and GC outputs a digital RGB signal which needs a DAC to turn into component, so only official cables work on it.

Well excuse me, Mr. high and mighty.

The SNES doesn't output fucking component either, so I was curious if it the converter chip in the cable would also work with the other consoles.

And what if I RGB modded my N64?
Would it work then?

All I know is that OP posted a pic of a component cable for the SNES.
