>Anyone else encounter issues with crashing/freezing when playing the Barkhang Monastery level in Tomb Raider II?

The TR games use Redbook audio tracks. They're incredibly sensitive about any of that data being corrupt or out of place. Likely, the game is trying to load an audio track at a specific part of the level, but the data is corrupt or in the wrong position. This is most likely to occur with emulation or playing from a burned disc.

the pc version played it just fine on my birds celeron 2gb shitbook, framerate dont dip at all, surprisingly

>>3902625
I used the original disc. The crashing doesn't happen too often, but I always have to remind myself of the possibility. I could try getting into the habit of saving more often, but it won't be easy since I've gotten so good at the level.

>>3903458
I was playing the PS1 version. I'm sure the PC version runs smoother.

That would be the shit N64 graphics making it look empty and boring as all fuck after the 2D games.

>>3901067
No its the place feels so empty and alone. It's like there is something lurking in the hall or in blue sea. Odd and surreal.

Please hold me anon.

>>3901060
Although I like 3d it kinda relates to what >>3901067 said. Early 3d has a weirdness to it that makes it feel kind of "off" in some ways.

I wish there was a retro game where you play as best girl and freeze up frogs.

Oh, I guess there isn't huh.

Sadness. Ice would be a fine way to kill them.

Fire works wonders too.

Literally who?

You're on a board for 80s and 90s video games and you've never heard of Roland? I can assure you that 90% of the games you played that used any sort of sample-based soundtrack had Roland samples in them.

>>3899778
Not that guy, but I've never heard of it, either.

Disney has the best lawyers in the world.
It's futile to try demanding them.

How did Clockwork knight got away with blatant racism?

This is not an ambiguous thing like Jynx or Mr Popo

>>3899715
Giving niggers big lips isn't racist, it's realism, you goddamn liberal retard.

I think you might be retarded anon.

>>3898410
1/10, made me reply.
Try harder next time, OP.

>>3898447
I am completely serious. It's why I'm up this fucking late. It's seriously distressing.

Fallout's writing was never that great. It's not surprising the developer would censor its own creative work just to appease reactionaries who whined about it. (And likely never played the game for themselves, for that matter)

You can still kill children in a number of other retro series, though. King's Field comes to mind. I don't think there were any consequences to killing NPCs until the third game, and the consequences are still pretty minimal.

Also, Ultima. I know some games allow you to kill NPCs at the risk of triggering endless waves of guards coming after you.

>98
>child killing enabled
So maybe 98 is the cutoff
For me, the more interesting question is why there are regular threads about killing children in video games here
Is it there one person here who has this fetish, or is it more common?

Transition to 3D maybe? It looks more "real" so the depiction of dead kids was more appalling.

>>3897736

For my aesthetic preferences, I'd say either swap the bottom two or make them equal. T-t-t-tuuuurbo is for tiny-brainers anyway, so that adds nothing to the Sharp.

>>3897736
Twin Fami is nothing special, no AV Fami on that list renders it objectively incorrect.

I bought a used copy of Mischief Makersa round 97/98, I didn't know anything about the game but saw some guys playing the final boss fight at the video game store and I was sold.
Was a very pleasant surprise.

>>3897291
any answer other than mario 64 is underageb&

>>3897291
You mean the first n64 you bought?
For me that would be the DK64 that came with the Jungle set
I didn't even get mario until later

>>3897010
you're playing it because you have a ps1 instead of an snes. you don't need any other reason to play it.

no->ridiculous loading times. they could've load the whole rom into the PS1 ram.

>>3897014
not OP here
What if i posses them good ol' fashioned emulators?

>>3896839
Heard it was a mediocre game

Very faithful to the anime .

I'd say yes, although it's not a masterpiece, the visuals alone make the game worth it, it's still the game that recreated the feel of the series the best (even better than the PS2/PSP games).
It's mostly a tech demo to showcase the cool 3D models of Evas (and Angels, and other mechs) they could do on the N64.
I mean look at pic related (nevermind the horizontal lines due to emulation fuckups)
Gameplay-wise it's a mixed-bag, it's understood that this game is made for the Evangelion fan. However, it's not bad either, it works.
1 on 1 battles are very similar to the Ultraman games on SFC, many people go into this game thinking it's like a regular fighting game, but it's not, it's a giant monster combat game. So moving the Eva is very slow and clunky, but if you know what to do and where to attack, you will be able to do some cool stuff, most of it is just inputting commands at the right time and seeing an attack animation though, but there's a strategic logic behind it. For example you can't inflict damage without breaking the A.T. Field first, for that, there's a buttonmashing sequence (that's more timing than mashing, though), after that it's all about building up your sync ratio and defend yourself against attacks. Once you've got a good sync ratio you can perform stronger attacks.
But besides the 1 on 1 battles there are other kind of missions, that are more like mini-games, like aiming, or doing a QTE sequence. One of my favorite was the Magmadiver one where you have to chase Sandalphon.
They're all pretty short and don't overstay their welcome. I guess the guys behind this game were conscious that while the battle system worked, it couldn't be used for every battle, as some angels aren't even humanoid or fought on foot, so they came up with different mission styles.
It's very straightforward and arcade-y too, so it's also the easiest Evangelion game to pick up and play (along with the non-retro Battle Orchestra and 3nd impact)

Daisy is hot as fuck though.

Also, the times of hating the SMB movie is over. It's now a cult classic. Basically Mario meets Blade Runner.

>"Daisy is hot as fuck though."

>implying sexual pandering excuses poorly written characters

Anons like you are the reason why marketers end up compromising writers' creative vision. If you just want to stare at half-naked bimbos, there are plenty of Web sites that let you do just that.

MK movie > SMB movie

21. What happened to Squall's wound he received at the end of disc 1?

22. Why not just prevent Dr. Odine from inventing Junction Machine Ellone?

23. Rinoa sucks. She never belongs with the party at any point and she upstages every single important event unconditionally. Make sure you can trap Edea between the gates? No, let's go apologize to Rinoa instead. What's that? We're losing badly in a battle with Galbadia Garden? People are dying? Hold on, Rinoa slipped and fell. Go save her NOW. What's that? Adel somehow freed herself and got swept away by a horde of monsters that are headed toward Earth? WAIT! Rinoa is STUCK IN OUTER SPACE. GO SAVE HER NOW!

24. "Draw failed".

25. Seifer only starts mentioning "Matron" after Irvine reveals it.

26. Irvine somehow shoots Edea from the front when her back is to him.

27. Assault rifles exist in this universe and prior to Dr. Odine's discoveries only a select few were able to use magic. Taking this into account, the widespread use of melee weapons remains unexplained.

28. What the Hell does a gunblade even do?

at least the OST was ok

OK I'll take 1-5 and someone else can do the rest because I can't be fucked.

1. Because you lose Seed rank if you don't.

2. Because she doesn't have the ability to go back further than the time of the game. Ellone does.

3. You're correct this is fucking stupid.

4. The devs chose a different system. It's not perfect. Get over it.

5. This is even more retarded that the orphanage given the infinite trajectories possible. Someone wanted a cinematic and romantic lost in space bit and this was the get out.
