The Hudson Bee is at the beginning of the game so if you fuck up you can go and get her, and yes the game is hard as fuck but i do not thing is hard like in the Ninja Gaiden series where the game is just fucking cheap, also Adventure Island 4 is amazing, one of the best Famicom games out there.

>>3909330
I'm guessing because it wasn't a unique NES hard game, just a slightly easier port of Wonderboy. Most games on the NES that are considered NES hard tend to be exclusives, like Ninja Gaiden, Battletoads, Mega Man, Castlevania 3, etc. At least, that's my theory.

>>3909330
Because it's a repetitive, boring, long-ass game.

Same reason nobody brings up the countless other early NES games that are long, repetitive, and fucking hard. It doesn't feel intentionally hard based on conscious design, instead just galloping after the zeitgeist of the time and not really standing out in any way.

It's insanely hard though

The Church of Lodis is a bunch of cunts. Demons are cunts. Everyone is mad.

But seriously, play Ogre Battle/Ogre Battle 64 if you want to fill in gaps and get more of the setting. They are worth playing through.

Many moons ago men fought against ogres.

Men won because FUCK YEAH! HUMANITY!, sealing ogres in the netherworld.

There's still places with high spiritual activity where you can kind of open gates to the world ogres were sealed in or the world of "gods", these places are known as Chaos Gates and have been sealed after the legendary Ogre Battle because every time they get opened shit gets real.

Somewhere along the setting's timeline Lodis becomes a huge empire akin to the ancient roman empire.

At some point, High Priest Sardian becomes the shadow ruler of Lodis by basically controlling the senate through bribing or putting his followers there, shagging the queen, having political immunity because MUH RELIGION et alia.

Sardian wants to tap into the Chaos Gate for reasons because the church is always evil just like in real life, mustache twirling, beard caressing and evil cackles ensue.

Lodis keeps expanding, thus allowing Sardian to find various Chaos Gates around the world and try to open them by proxy through his knights or by fomenting wars and shit, sometimes both.

Barely related political shit happens along the way and you get to play through that uninteresting shit with a cast of literal whos who are almost always irrelevant to Sardian's scheming but are all tied together by him fucking shit up in their homelands to get to dem sweet Chaos Gates, you also get some discount nihilism and basic philosophy classes too if you're lucky.

Since Zenobia was the MC country of the first game they make it seem like they're those pretty important dudes who knew it all behind the scenes but in reality they almost always don't know what the fuck they're doing and often make things worse for other countries because they're inept imbeciles.

Some Lodis people are pretty cool guize tho, there's also this hot witch who loves produce for some reason and tons of non human units for all the furry/scalies out there.

It also will never get a closure.

It's not as if they went for 3D exclusively as a visual trend, guy; the new practical possibilities were the really enticing bit for proper devs.

Excluding genre hybrid and non-pixel-artsy stuff like Oddworld and Skullmonkeys, I guess Lomax and Rayman are the most common pure platformers that spring to mind

not a palette per se but Hi-Ban's DMG shader for Retroarch is stupidly good. Colors are spot on.

Look at it. That is an emulator screenshot.

>>3908532
Thanks, that looks great. I'll have look into that shader.

I've found what Nintendo uses on the Virtual Console in the meantime: https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-editing-the-gameboy-virtual-console-palette.410037/

VC Game Boy's green palette values in RGB
Color0: 189 255 33
Color1: 156 239 41
Color2: 90 140 66
Color3: 74 74 74
ColorLCD: 165 222 57

VC Game Boy's grey palette values in RGB
Color0: 206 206 173
Color1: 165 165 140
Color2: 107 107 82
Color3: 41 41 24
ColorLCD: 206 206 173

I'm not saying buy them, just a good list of their games
Castle of Illusion
Contra Hard Corp
Castlevania Bloodlines
Mega Bomberman
ThunderForce games
But ya go play Ristar right now if you never did

alisia dragoon, lightening force, comix zone, dynamite headdy, ristar, rocket knight adventures, contra hard corps

Loads of numbers, no signifiers that it's actually any good.

Advertising is against the rules.

>>3907436
Sounds like cum and paprika had a babby

That's a really hard question.

My personal favorites are Final Fantasy VII, Live-A-Live, and Final Fantasy Tactics.

If your TV can do RGB over SCART you can afford to get a proper streaming card. Don't take a chance with cheap Chinese shit, especially stuff that goes inside your PC

>>3907264
I did my own research alrady, seems like it'll work fine.
And as far as a 'proper streaming card' this seems like it uses the exact same chips on the more expensive avermedia capture cards. Obviously avermedia cards or equivalent have better customer support and packaging, but I don't see any reason why not to buy a chinese version. I'm not looking to spend a lot of money on streaming this shit to the 2 or 3 people who would actually watch it.
