I agree. What I like about them is that most of the dungeons actually require some effort to find your way through and may even take multiple trips to complete, whereas in most later games you might veer off the path for a second to pick up a chest but are otherwise pretty much walking in a straight line to the end.

I just think the simple sprites are cozy.

>I assume there are contemporary rpgs that function in a similar vein, but I've yet to find some.
Etrian Odyssey. Five games in the series, four in English, 1 and 2 got remakes that have an original mode and a story mode, very good first-person dungeon crawlers.

looking back at the medievil levels I notice they're basically a straight line with noo challenge

>>3951078
Everything after Crash 2 was shit.

CTR gets a pass.

Do you want harder levels? Do it like this (medieval level 14:00) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3RYappcWZg

3/10, got me curious

>>3949336
That's puce

I agree. I had a harder time figuring out where to go in the fire temple. The water temple was much more straight-forward.

>>3948697
You mean the worst dungeon in OoT , the worst Zelda dungeon in the 3D Zeldas, or the worst Zelda dungeon of all time from any game?

>>3948705
From any of the retro games. I generally dislike the fire temple the most. Probably due to the ridiculous timed run you have to do to grab the megaton hammer.

The fifth episode as a whole was pretty well done. It looks like something actually from 1998 (if there's a way to express that in the best possible way). Also the Fifth Element etc parodies were fitting.

>>3942306
First level is iconic, rdl in L2 is iconic, abyss is awesome, and I really love flood zone, probably flood zone overall.

Is there an easy way to play episode 5 with Eduke yet?

That makes me very sad.

These threads in general always make me very sad.

The inside is just as horrifying

The game is poorly designed, no one's gonna deny that.

>SotN is designed retarded
More news at 11.

>It seems that early game you get a dagger and a short sword which you use for 50% of the game.

But you find new shit constantly. Why would you stick with one weapon for most of it? I always buy the elemental swords from the library. At least by the inverted castle you should have tons of weird shit to try out.

Also even if I have to hack in a completed save file first, I now always, always start in the 99 luck, Lapis lazuli mode. It makes the beginning a touch more challenging and finding all those weird weapons a lot faster.

Sword of Dawn roxors my boxors.

Wat game? Also is that an emulator on smartphone? Interface looks playable, intrigued

Ultima 1

the emu is Magic Dosbox Free

It's a barrier. You can destroy them with the Destroy spell but you can just as well walk around them.

>>3963782
Ultima 1 in what looks like the IBM version.

>What do people decorate their CRTs with?
I don't. She's beautiful au naturale without being turned into a painted up whore.

>>3963485
Open it up, temporarily gut the internals, paint the plastic shell black with spray paint and put everything back together.

>>3963505
Don't do this, CRTs explode if you open them.

Why don't you, like, buy a cheap pal game and test it yourself instead of begging to be spoonfed? There are places on the internet way more suited to a discussion like this than 4chan

>>3963493
Yes, Use a PAL game to test if your PAL system plays NTSC games at 60hz, you are a genius.

>>3963525
>cheap pal game

is Tetris an acceptable answer?

Zelda.

Super Mario Land controls like shit. Don't even try to deny it. Deep down, you know it does.

Castlevania Adventure is way too slow. It's almost unplayable.

Metroid II is actually pretty fucking good, but not as good as Link's Awakening.

Haven't played the handheld Mega Man.

Zelda of course. Vastly prolific and faithful to the original.

Metroid and Mega Man are decent games that feel like legitimate members of their series but suffer somewhat from the palette and resolution. I would have enjoyed both those games more on NES

Castlevania and Super Mario Land really took a new "fresh" direction that probably suited Super Mario more than Castlevania.

Castlevania Adventure is a brutal game. Hard for even a die-hard Castlevania fan to really enjoy but it did pave the way for Castlevania games to keep seeing mobile versions that ultimately became the home for 2D Castlevania which is nice even though most of them are Igavanias.

Sounds like you got cheap cables or your TV can't hold onto the sync signal.

>>3962905

The s video doesn't work across multiple TVs. Also, I used multiple cables

Might be an issue with the cable? I use a Gamestahp brand s-video cable with one of my Wiis, was the only cable I could find at the time that only had only s-video and no composite. It works fine, although the goofy faux-snakeskin is stupid and the plugs are all made from a cheap-feeling plastic of similar quality to the service offered in their stores.

Bumping for curiosity.

My neighbor was having a yard sale and I took a look when I on my way out and picked up 2 SNES controllers and an Multi-AV cable for $5

while I didn't find any games, found this, $2.75 after tag color discount at a goodwill

>>3962527
The master system is horrible and i would not have even paid 10 for it lol. That mug on the other hand is pretty damn sweet. nice find man

Any videos of high level Columns players? I'd like to see that.

I wouldn't say it's better but gosh is it nice. Very nice music, cool graphics... I like it.
