Try Bahamut Lagoon or Star Ocean? Or Seikendensetsu 3?

>>3826915
Star Ocean was great, which is part of why I want to try Phantasia.
Bahamut Lagoon never really clicked for me. I found the battle system really unwieldy when compared to the other great SRPG's of that generation

that's an obscure one, still have to finish it
Try Treasure Hunter G

I still don't get the point of an "archive" if it's all going to stay holed up on his hard drive.

>>3839672
A few reasons:
1) Without going into to much detail, the decoded drops 1 out of every 4 bits.
2) Unconfigurable gaussian filter applied on output
3) APU coprocessor memory space made fitting code, sound, and music in the same small 64k memory space challenging. You could get around this with modest effort and careful sample compression, but not all companies had that kind of talent or time.

First post best post.

Now let us commence 60 replies about how the Genesis sounds like robot farts.

>>3839683
remember when your robot farted and it sounded like kid chameleon? good times

And just think, there's countless 12 year old boys today getting a PS4 and Call of Duty for their birthday or whatever. It will be the most magical week of their lives, and all video game experiences will be downhill for them after that.

I don't think it will be the same for them because those games will not be the same leap over what was out previously.

When I played Super Mario 64 for the first time I had a hard time adjusting to the 3d game world because my brain literally did not understand it that well yet. I would get lost in Bob-omb Battlefield. A kid who is playing today won't have that problem because they've probably already played a PS3 or an Xbox 360 with very similar games.

I used to stare at the images in the issue of Nintendo Power where the N64 was unveiled at Nintendo Space World of that year and just wonder.

I totally bought into the marketing hype for the system at the time as well (come on, I was 12). I really thought the N64 was the most powerful home computer you could buy.

me, yes, shitty thread

seriously, what is your endgame with this? waste of a good thread getting bumped

>legitimate

It's not cheating, no. Just that clearing the game with no warps is more difficult and thus more of an accomplishment.

I don't really like using the warps in Mario because of how jarring the shift in difficulty is between the earlier and later levels.

I haven't been able to play my Sega Saturn ever since it turned into a gazelle and ran off. 9 years ago.

>>3838323
I used it to play music CDs.

play the original, it was one of the revolutionary new 3D fighters of the time.

If youre really interested, play the first two to get some grounding/backstory/familiar-ness.

3 is going to be the most playable though.

I recommend playing the first two at least once. Arcade Mode shouldn't take more than 20 minutes each.
I recommend spending a little more time on Tekken 2. There's some pretty good stuff there, and the narrator is pretty. Try to unlock every character, shouldn't take more than 2 hours. You can put number of Rounds on 1 to help.

Why the fuck didn't he use a gunblade?

I don't even think he was an actual FF8 fan.

Probably would've rather sucked Sephiroth's dick over Squall's.

this happened back in the late 90s, a spanish guy slaughtered his parents and little sister with his katana. He was freed long ago though, like in 2009 I believe.
Little is known about him nowadays.

Human rights... were a mistake.

Ganbare, OP. It's tough but you can do it.

This is the map that came with the original game. Using it and the manual is what we all did back when the game was released and is not considered extra help. You'll still need to do a lot of bombing and burning things to find secret entrances.

You'd probably figure this out on your own pretty early, but the one piece of advice I'd give is that there is never more than one secret on an individual map screen. If there's a secret to be found, you can move on to the next screen after you find it.

>>3836495
Is there generally hints to the locations of places to bomb or things to burn or is it like Wolfenstein 3d where you find the secrets by running around with your face mashed into the wall mashing the "use" key?

I enjoyed it anon, but it isnt best Zelda.
>>3835783
Since 98 till a few years ago, OoT was my choice. Before that while I liked them all a lot, AoL felt like the best one. But over the years, and after many replays, OoT lost its appeal, while Zelda II is still fun for me.

I still have a tiny shred of optimism for Kevtris's core-changing SD loading FPGA console

Somebody slap me

>I still have a tiny shred of optimism for Kevtris's core-changing SD loading FPGA console

Kevtris can actually make it.

That was the difference.

Kevtris was originally on that faggots Coleco Chameleon team back before it was even called the Retro VGS afaik. He left due to differences or pay disputes I think.

Kevtris is a technical genius. But the dude can't make a good youtube video to save his life.
