Eat my shorts, nerd

has a neat soundtrack.

My favorite Castlevania is Lament of Innocence. fyte me.

>>3982689
I've recently discovered playing SOTN on luck mode (weakened stats) with no equipment (except Alucard stuff for Shaft and Drac) and no save points (unless required) is actually a lot like classic Castlevania. You have to make careful use of your sub-weapons and limited healing capability, and you can only take a handful of hits.

But yeah, it's a shame that the two game formats haven't been able to coexist.

The first 4 are my favs but its hard to deny the appeal of the DS games and aria of sorrow.

>How come no one is preserving PC releases?
That is literately (not the meme, kiddo) the most well preserved platform as far as gaming is concerned. The only thing of note that is lost is many of the late50s to 60s and some 70s mainframe games.

Lots of people are, it's just that it pretty much has the largest amount of games since it's an open platform and everything. 90s Mac kinda suffers the same issues

I've never seen a place with a proper release like, let's say, darkwater is doing for the Sega Saturn. It's always a bunch of random sites on the web with dubious files.

No, but learning that clicking both buttons on a number clicks all adjacent boxes makes you 9x faster.

>minesweeper thread
We are truly scraping the barrel at this point, aren't we?

>>3982673
You'd be surprised, Minesweeper has it's own community. They even made a version just for competition so solvers couldn't be used.

I think playing every single level should at least take you a day..

>>3981752
Just play it on snes
Problem solved

>>3981758

I did it a few years ago. It took four hours.

>>3981682
Square typically, believe it or not.

>>3981704
In diamond configuration or what?

>>3981804
Nope, just square.

>>3981473
It's a comfy machine for gaming. If you can get it for 300 bucks it ain't overpriced at all if you consider the alternatives.

>They also made a better Unbuntu version, but that doesn't have a gamepad.
That's much bigger also and really not meant for gaming.

>>3981495
I found the /g/ thread. They hate it. Also 600 fuck loonix bucks.

Overpriced shit.

For the same money buy a nice CRT, a real system, a flash cart, and comfortable chair. Then sit down and play some old games in a way you can actually appreciate them and enjoy them instead of playing them as a mindless way to pass 20 minutes.

When you're out in public and bored spend your time looking around or talking to people. Leave the video games at home.

If you -must- play games in public just buy an old PSP.

The Firemen?

>>3981458
Well that was kind of an obvious title.

Thanks, anon!

I've always liked Simon's Quest but I have to admit it's pretty lacking in some areas. Still, it hits so many notes that I love.

A sense of time passing, a big open world to explore and mysteries to figure out.

>>3981250
Super Hydlide

I've always liked Virtual Hydlide a lot but you have to both appreciate that rough 2.5D aesthetic AND the almost arcadelike mechanics so it's no surprise it gets shit on a lot.

Dumping what I have

>>3978762
Wow, is GPI's logo shitty. The whole advert is great until your eye meet's their logo. Just looks like a logo someone would use who runs their business out of their garage.

bumping because these are the best threads

>>3978394
My first thought was a combination of "desert" and "torpedo". But then I realized what there was to make fun of.

They made some of the best videogame songs, PERIOD.

Zuntata is great. I want to see them live but as time goes on the chance of doing so becomes ever smaller.

>>3977439
My nigga. Zuntata is God tier

It's exactly why I don't do physical collections - well that and counterfeit carts

>>3976552
This is hardly an issue on the N64. SNES however...

Even then, how hard is it to solder a new battery for the rare occurance it happens? People are just lazy

>>3976552
Replacing batteries is easy

Not everyone's got the autism required to set up and run Retroarch.

>>3973475
its their job to say that even if it isn't true

>>3973479
Yeah there is this weird taboo around mentioning emulation, probably trying to avoid legal issues
