I've both collected and emulated since the beginning. I've never paid more for an old game than I was absolutely positive that it was worth to me, usually much much less. A big part of the joy of collecting is the hunt and the social element of trading but retro gaming has progressed past that being fun, sadly. When I make finds it's always either relatively common or very obscure stuff neither of which really come with any immediate "retro cred" and when I make trades I'm always more focused on finding something something they want in my collections I expect will diminish in value and getting something off of them I expect will hold value or appreciate and look better displayed. It's definitely not the same as it was and that results in me playing on Wii a lot. Currently into emulating retro computers with my vintage mechanical keyboard on my PVM-14 (my 20 is sitting unused down in my mancave)

Not mario. Or castlevania
How come FF6 is one of the least popular/well-received mainline FFs in Japan while it's considered the best in the west? They're lukewarm about it from what I've read but I don't know why
>>3794092
Because they played FFV and though it was god tier so FFVI felt meh compared to it.
Nostalgiababbies first FF
>>3794092
Japs value system and mechanics more than westerns. And FFVI was shit at it, specially coming after FFV. The only thing FFVI has going for is the story and muh epicness. Westerners don't care as much about the system being broken and simple as long as they have a good ride story-wise.
Any idea why the Sprites look like this? Could it be that I'm using an HD TV or is it the cartridge itself?
You stretched the image to 16:9 so the game detected that you're a faggot.
Clean that fucking cartridge, and probably the cartridge slot too.
>>3809026
Gotta be the cartridge. Just got this game. Tested out a ton of other games and they works fine. Strange. Everything else in the game looks fine, it's just the sprites.

Goldeneye
Starcraft
>>3808954
>Top 5 Splitscreen/Local games
1. OutTrigger, DC
2. Crash Team Racing, PS1
3. Conker's Bad Fur Day, N64
4. Bomberman Online, DC
5. 007 GoldenEye, N64
>Which console was the best for Splitscreen/Local gaming
I wanna say Dreamcast but it didn't have Turok so gonna give it to N64.
>Which game/s would have been amazing for Splitscreen/Local gaming
A Resident Evil or Dino Crisis spin-off would have totally worked if it had the same premise as The Mercenaries which was what Resident Evil Outbreak pretty much was.
>>3808972
>Bomberman Online, DC
I hope you mean Saturn Bomberman.
Thoughts on that little pink puff-ball Kirby?
Kirby devours the competition
>>3808708
What's his competition? Ristar? Then yeah. (Although Ristar is underappreciated)
>>3808715
Dynamite Headdy
What did they mean by this?
>>3807929
too bad they couldnt finish the game
the blob shadows make it look worse than the first fallout
>>3807929
Its the law of nature. Mixed breed dogs are mutts and purebred dogs are sexy.
>>3807929
That's racist.
Boy, what a great mistake.
>>3807819
not the worst example tbqhwyf
I like it.
Both could look better. Both could look worse.
>>3807819
2D sprites on 3D maps are alright, I don't saw any problem.
sucked at this game back then and still suck now
holy shit everyone is so good at this
>>3807768
>only had dialup into the later 2000s
>rarely got to play non-local multiplayer games
>eventually get fast enough connection to play online
>get destroyed on every game before I can even get my footing in anything
>resign quickly from online gaming as a genre
>>3807778
battle.net games worked well enough on dialup if you had a decent enough connection. I played lots of quake 2, delta force 2, warcraft 3, and even counter strike source on dial up. By the time TF2 came out we had rural high speed though
how's the best way to play with others online nowadays?
I can't believe they patched diablo 2 to work to this day online but not this or WC3
Why is this games level design so weird? Am I not playing it right? Because I can beat levels in like 30 seconds without looking at the other paths.
>>3807412
You mean the first few levels?
Like Mario?
>>3807412
You're supposed to look for the enemy generators.
>>3807412
>Why is this games level design so weird?
Because it's actually a bad game. People just like it because of the music or because they were too dumb to know better as a kid.
What do think about LCD games?
>>3807328
Literally the only game worth playing that can be reduced to that format without losing anything is Tetris
They were for grandparents who didn't know any better to buy as presents.
>>3807328
I have got Game & Watch' Octupus soviet clone even before I knew about video games and I didn't find it fun at all. I had many "Brick Games" since and only worthwhile games on them apart from Tetris were Breakout clone and maybe a game where you shoot your way through wall of shit (it's kinda relaxing).
But is it really LCD game in the same sense if game field is pure 20х10 pixel grid?
What ithet game lets you spank the monkey?
When games decide to cut to the chase right at the title screen...

Hot monkey dick!
Who would win in a fight?
Lavos vs Earthbound Guy
>>3806465
Probably Giygas. Giygas is a nonphysical force of pure anguish and evil. No matter how many spawns of Lavos are made Giygas will simply engulf them all. Not to say Lavos isn't powerful in its own right but Giygas is beyond comprehension, a being like Lavos could destroy it with just its power alone.
>>3806465
Lavos devours all.
Lavos can be defeated by getting hit a bunch.
Giygas is only defeated through the power of prayer, which Lavos cannot do.
Giygas wins.
Why were the n64 launch titles so much better than all the games after that
You really can't beat wave race, Mario or pilotwings
>inb4 conkers
I dunno, many mid and late N64 games are fantastic (Goemon, Paper Mario, Sin and punishment).
Also Beetle Adventure Racing which was made by the same devs of Pilotwings 64.
Wut?
Star Fox 64
Diddy Kong Racing
Perfect Dark
OOT and MM
And that's just to name a few. Lots of fantastic N64 games that came out post-launch.
>>3806226
Wave Race wasn't a launch title
It was a dos/windows 95 game
It came on a CD
It was a top down RPG style game
It was 2D with anime/sprite style graphics
It had pretty good graphics for the time
It was set in a fantasy world with dragons
I think it was action based, not turn based
It was somewhat obscure
I think it was an asian game but it came in English
any ideas what this game could be?
>>3805863
You begin the game in some castle / town and need to go to a dragon cave.
>>3805863
Ah right in time, I also need help.
It was a C64 game about knights dueling, some kind of old fighting game really, but I remember there were some kind of cool conditions like ring outs or something, it's been so long though so I might be mistaken.
Thanks in advance.
