Why is Mega Man 6 the best Mega Man game and the best 8-bit platformer ever made?

This is the full image of the Racoon City Police Department. No clue where it's actually from. You never get to step back and see it all in RE2.

So, a little over a year and a half ago I bought a PAL Panasonic FZ-10 3DO, that came with a Goldstar Controller and one game: Cyberdillo. After beating that game, I kind of forgot about it, until I found it collecting dust a couple of days ago.

I'd really love to get into the 3DO scene, due to it being the console that kick started some of my favourite franchises.

So, what are some good exclusives for it, and what are reasonable prices for them? Because one look at ebay, makes it seem that the reseller scum has found out about the 3DO. Unless the 3DO market has always been this expensive.

I'm already thinking of getting:
Doom
Wolfenstein 3D
Gex
Need for Speed
Captain Quazar
And maybe Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, just for the fuck of it.

Jk, 10/10 game. Story, visuals, and music are all one of the best ever made.

I got this Saturn a while back, PAL version, model no.: MK-80200A-50, which I believe is a Model 2.However, it appears to natively play Japanese games and is set to NTSC-1-V1 .01a when I look at system settings. It doesn't recognise PAL games unless I have the action replay in, and even then the bottom of the screen is cut off. I understand that it's modded but there doesn't appear to be a switch anywhere. I know that switchless region free mods exist but I've looked them up they way they're modded (hold reset to change the region) doesn't seem to work on mine.

How would I be able to tell what has exactly been done to this thing? I've never modded a console before and have no prior experience with the Saturn so I'm taking a stab in the dark. I can't seem to get in contact with the guy who I got it from, but it wasn't advertised as modded (it did come with the AR though).

Last year I played through the King's Quest series and thought the games sucked, but now I wonder if I didn't give them a chance.

There haven't been one for a while.

So, let me start. This PC game was about young brother and sister dungeoncrawling, some magic was involved too, I think. The view was top-down; the dungeon had chests with items, traps and monsters. To fight the monster you had to solve a word riddle of varying difficulty, tied to the monster type; I remember an ogre being one of the simplest, haven't played far enough. The "battle" interface looked somewhat like the pic related. When the time ran out, you got hit by the monster and lost some life.
The dungeon had multiple levels, each with their distinct loading screen with vaguely anime or cartoony art. Level two had the protagonists hiding at griffin's nest with a large griffin lurking nearby.
The game folder contained the file with riddles and their answers, so one could theoretically check or memorize them.

Searching for "word riddle dungeon" returns a number of game apps and other unrelated stuff and I'm not even sure what's its category on game sites: RPG, puzzle or educational.

Guys! Please help!

I can't get it out of my head for some reason and my google-fu sucks so I can't find anything on it.

So, back in the mid to late '90s I had a shareware games collection CD.

On that CD there was a roleplaying game / game with roleplay elements set in the stone age. I don't recall the name of that game.

-traveling was done on a landscape in first person. Like a raycaster only without any walls, had some tree and rock sprites.

-random encounters with wild animals and other humans

-you could trade, convice to join you or fight.

-fighting was basicaly a sidescrolling beat 'em up.

-you could craft stuff. Knapping spear or arrow tips was done by actually beating rocks in the needed shape. You had a rock and an outline of what to craft, the longer you held the mouse button, the stronger you were hitting the rock.

If I recall correctly it was listed under games for Windows 3.1

PLEASE, if any of you remember something even remotely similar, please point me in the right direction. I want to give that game another look and it drives me up the wall.

Pic obviously unrelated.
