why?

You can get by without the hearts but they sure help a lot, you have to git pretty gud to beat the game without at least a couple. You don't have to play through the entire level when you go back - once you beat it once, you can pause and go to 'esc' to quit the level and keep your rewards.

>>4015582
The hearts help a lot. Don't forget the four E-Tanks. There's also a few hidden abilities or items

The game isn't too hard but the final boss is a complete asshole

Putting it down and buying a PSX.

Almost all the good games use option 1

>>4015213
Almost all the games period use option 1.

Y'know, that Dpad fucking sucked.

>>4014530
It won't make much difference honestly. Do what you find more convenient.

>>4014530
Play it on your PC with The Reunion mod.

>>4014548
There isn't anything better? I used that mod possibly a decade ago.

Black/Matrix series never got translated. They seem to be something about angels. Might be Disgaea before there was Disgaea.

Far as I can tell this is how the games work:

>1. Black Matrix. PS1/Saturn.
Gets two enhanced ports.

>Black Matrix AD (Dreamcast)
>Black Matrix + (Playstation)

Confused? A little. Not sure which is the best version.

>2. Black Matrix II - PS2

>3. Black matrix Zero - GBA

>4. Black Matrix 00 - PS1

The last game in the series, is a 2004 PS1 game, which is a remake of the GBA game. I think this is the ONly example where a GBA game is remade for the Playstation, or that a PS1 game comes out after a PS2 game in the series.

>>4014036
Well, Hoshigami seems to have been popular enough to have gotten a "Remix" on the DS, so there's that.

Vandal Hearts II's simultaneous turns add another layer of planning/complexity, which I found to be interesting. Probably not for everyone, though.

>Any others?
The FEDA series, the first of which (on SNES) got translated (and later ported to the Saturn).

TearRing Saga, by Kaga Shōzō, who was involved in the early Fire Emblem games.

Faselei! is neither obscure (and probably a "holy grail" for most NGPC owners), nor part of a franchise. It's got a couple of interesting gameplay systems (including a similar simultaneous turn system), and some replay incentive.
Sacnoth (later Nautilus), the developer also made Koudelka on the PS1, and the Shadow Hearts series.

PS1 had a bunch of FFT-knockoffs, so you'll find a lot of them there. Eternal Eyes, Kartia: The Word of Fate. Kartia is noteworthy for having artwork drawn by Amano, normally associated with Final Fantasy.

There's also more strategy focused games like Master of Monsters, games with the grid but not exactly the same combat like other NISA titles: Soul Nomad, Phantom Brave. And there are also games like Rhapsody or Popolocrois, which are purely typical JRPGs but go into the grid combat for fights.

I did that when I was nine.

n'th for WARP SP_FACE1

>>4013335
Neat.
Can you recommend me some music for it? I find the PSX soundtrack super uninteresting to listen to.

>>4013304
Did you make sure the contacts were clean?

>>4013361

I cleaned them earlier with rubbing alcohol and the swabs didn't pick up much mess.

I thought maybe they were EU but apparently even EU games run fine on an american SMS so that's not the problem.

Okay, I figured it out. Fuck me man.

I opened it up and the EPROM is completely missing from PS, as if it was ripped out. What a load of shit.

It's just this really tiny board with nothing on it except a "MADE IN JAPAN" brand.

There isn't even any fucking room for a battery or SRAM slot, etc. It's such bullshit.

Y's looks fine but refuses to boot.

And not even coincidentally these 2 came from the same fucking seller.

wow you're dumb as shit

i doubt anyone seriously believes this.

Custer's Revenge

Hardcore porn games.

Choplifter. That feel after you land a heli full of POW's, that's the feeling of satisfaction. Of course, it gets balanced out by the PTSD you get everytime you crash or get shot down with people, and you can't help but blame yourself for their deaths. They aren't gonna make it home to their families, and it's all your fault. You monster.

>>4012842
the fuck do you live where crackheads line the streets selling vidya?

>>4012842
>>tfw always feel bad buying cheap retro vidya from obvious druggies because the games are guaranteed to be stolen
Don't. If you didn't buy those stolen games, that junkie might throw them in a dumpster, or try turning them into stashboxes for their dope. Just make sure to lowball them so they don't OD.

>>4012842
They'll just get even by stealing games from their coke dealing boss at the used game store who gets his games primarily from druggie like the one who stole from his collection to begin with and so the cycle is complete or at least that's how it was with me.

¿Que?

I loved and still love Dragon's Lair and any other well-animated laserdisc style game then I also jonesed hard for JRPGs with anime cutscenes on SCD. When I got the Playstation andthey were fullscreen, hnnnng. Dat Wild Arms attract mode. Playstation was lousy with games that used FMV right but by then they realized the better it blended into the game, the more effective it was as a storytelling tool.

Multimedia was a real thing, the early to mid 90s was all about "interactivity" and the obvious end goal was "Interactive Movies"

Only people in 1000 years will truly say if it was misguided or not

>>4012109
A desire to play AC4 on PS2 instead.
haven't played much of 3 but it's good for what it was at the time

>>4012109
You should play the patched version. The English release was butchered to hell.

>>4012109
it's okay

AC3US is obsoleted because of the translation of the JP release, but if you're never going to bother with that, it's not like the western version is suddenly terrible -- but the branching story and shit are all gone in favor of a linear mission structure where you do every mission in the game in order.
The story is totally different in the JP version and loads more fleshed out, 3US's story is far more basic like in AC2.

AC3US gets a ton of hate almost entirely because we were supposed to get all the shit that was in the JP version, and then that didn't happen, pissing everyone off for nearly two decades.
In terms of pure gameplay, it's the same game with fewer missions overall (but you play more of them before hitting an ending because there aren't any branches, unlike AC3JP).

The original Famicom release without translation.

>>4012073
i don't know chinese

>>4012068
I have no experience myself, but apparently the fan translation was handled by some dude who works with anime and game translations for a living. So you have a choice of 90's professional translation vs 10's professional translation. It's apples to apples, really.
