are spears good?

nth for cleric and cleric/x is the most fun and versatile class and doesnt immediatly trivialize the game like mages

>>3880495
This.
I've played dozens of times both BG, BG II, Icewind Dale, Icewind Dale II, Planescape Torment and more recently Siege of Dragonspear, and never, and i mean never ever have bothered a single minute with spears.

Had it as a kid on my PC. No one liked the pizzas I made and in the end I tried to turn my restaurant into an arcade instead and failed. Thank god for Warez and BBS boards back then

Could never figure how to make a high rated pizza

Because Zoombini's had a similar game built in as a mini challenge for children and that was at least entertaining.

"Stereo" being a subjective standard

It can't.

>>3877069
it is not subjective. Dual mono is not stereo

Just because something is listed for an arm & a leg, doesn't mean it actually sells.

why would you want to own a shitty bowling game?

>>3876994
its glorious

Any mods that improve the vanilla game?

>>3876810
Opposing Force>Half Life>Blue Shift.

Btw how the fuck can i find where are the saves stored in the non steam version? I accidentaly deleted the game and somehow the saves are scattered all around the PC since i put my backups were the saves were and i still lost a huge chunk of my advance.

Had to finish it on PS 2.

>>3876817
I'm not sure, but I got the non-steam version too. I'm just hoping that nothing happens to my saves.

Its good nigga
And youre exaggerating the prices

People who played it as kids are old enough to have disposable income to dump into nostalgia

It's an exaggeration but not by much

They aren't even good Laserdisc players.

No one owns one. My uncle had one for a year in the late 90s but I think it broke and he threw it out.

If you want it, buy it. Just know the games are literal unplayable pieces of garbage.

Well OP, do you like low quality 90s home-video pornography?

No they're terrible

Maybe I can sell them and buy me many big mac meals. Is the trouble worth it?

It's not really that everyone else fucked up, it's that sony were lucky enough to absolutely hit it out of the park in a way that nobody could have predicted

Atari started fucking up right after the 2600.
3DO was the first and only console by that company, same with the CD-i, same with Pippin.
PC-FX was a "fuck up"? Not sure how it did in Japan.

N64 and Saturn didn't get to sell as much as PlayStation, but still they're far from a fuck up... except maybe for Saturn outside of Japan, but that's more because of SoA/SoE's politics than the console itself.

Nobody knew exactly how to provide for 3D game design. Sony adopted a simple but flexible architecture, rather than getting tripped up by previous 2D design philosophies. In a big way there couldn't have been a better time to design your first video game console.

>>3872959
i didnt care for how sd3 just remixed songs from sd2 which were pretty original in their own right

>>3872959
I doubt that will come out in murica. Which is funny because switch has literally 1 game.

SD3 for how much I love it the game is still a buggy mess even on rerelease

>>3864209

Have you ever checked out the mods? Urban Chaos is godlike, I don't wanna know how much hours I wasted on this but it was worth it.

>>3864209
I always like getting flo and buns

Does it work on W10 yet? wined3d dll from the forums crashes all the time for me.

>The game was also planned for the Commodore 64, but it was cancelled as well. Ocean initially explained that the developer's computer was stolen in a burglary, but it was later revealed that the game was scrapped after the freelance developer's wife destroyed said computer in a drunken rage, along with the backups of the work.

>After finishing the game he noticed that the company was just a couple streets a way. He went there, showed them some sprites he drew, was hired and turned into the best chiptune artist ever.

Here's /vr/'s crt general thread, you should post this there too.

Before troubleshooting take a picture of the back of the monitor showing how it's currently hooked up.

If anyone can help I'd appreciate it greatly

Thanks a lot. This is what it looks like

Trying to pry myself away from the mindset that I need a complete disc package for 32-bit and onward. It's very costly.

I actually have a 3DO (don't laugh*), and buying disc-only is so much smarter, one because the games kinda suck, and two, the manuals are mostly worthless anyhow since they have that wonderful tradition of "let's not tell you jack about any important shit"

Like, not having the manual to Silent Bomber has not impeded my enjoyment of the game at all. Same for Einhander.

*you can laugh a little bit

>>3885702
I'm particular about certain systems. Pretty much if it's sega, it has to be CiB. Otherwise, it's nice, but I'm not willing to pay too much extra for cases and boxes.

>>3885709
Most of what I've found shopping around eBay has been really bad, for the most part. I picked up a copy of Blood Omen 1 earlier for PSX. $10 for very good quality. But other games? I tried looking at disc only first and some of the best I found within a decent price range was Acceptable at best. Sometimes I'd find good, but I always want to be sure the games work. I had a few a couple years back that I'd ordered in at Good rating and they just wouldn't read. Since then I've been extremely careful about what I order.

Carts on the other hand? I've had smashed packages come in because the shipper wouldn't let me pay for better postal services and I didn't care a bit, the game was fine inside.

Maybe I'm just crazy.
Also, I myself want a 3DO. Always wanted to try the 3DO version of StarControl 2.

>Zelda is a RPG meme

>>3885265
What is this even from?

>>3885262
>RPGs that are essential?
>Link To The Past

Zelda is an action-adventure series, except for Zelda II, which does have RPG mechanics.

And which Final Fantasy II are you referring to? Curious that you mentioned FF1 and 2, but posted an image of FFVI.
