I don't like the artstyle used for the snes version of 1 and lost levels. 2, 3, and all stars World are all fine though.

>>3800316
I dont like the SNES instrumentation of the songs

What exactly are you curious about?
>This seems like a somewhat big series with a lot of weirdness surrounding the localization of the games
It's simple. They initially didn't expect Kunio game to be such a long-running franchise than when they localized the first few games in the series (Renegade, Super Dodge Ball and River City Ransom), they basically treated each one as its own IP due to how aesthetically and mechanically different they were from each other.
Renegade = Serious beat-'em-up
Super Dodge Ball = Comical sports game
River City Ransom = Comical beat-'em-up
By the time they decided to localize Kunio under a consistent brand in the U.S., the NES was pretty much on its deathbed.

>not to mention it's art style shifts
After Nekketsu Monogatari, pretty much stuck with the chibi art style for most the series and only went back for the serious look when they made those two Kunio beat-'em-up on the SFC. Even the newer Kunio games on the DS and 3DS stuck to the chibi style.

>and it's loose connections to double dragon,
DD1AC was essentially intended to be Renegade 2 and the Hattori brothers in Nekketsu Monogatari are expies of the Lee brothers.

>but nobody ever talks about it.
/vr/ is mostly filled with EOPs who only know of RCR for the BARF meme.

Every game is exactly the same.

Not that that's a bad thing they're all good. But if you play one you've played pretty much them all.

>>3800875
Yes. You've played Nintendo World Cup, you know exactly what to do in River City Ransom.

I'm waiting until I get some more free google play credit before I get it.

Oh my god.


I'm an idiot.

I literally found it in two seconds on Ebay.

Five years of Brain Fart, solved in two seconds.


Fuck.

It is: "Read with Me 1&2, bundled with Memphis Math".

Jesus that was anticlimatic.

Thanks /vr/.

I guess posting here somehow pieced together the circuits in my mind.

Okay /vr/

Need your help again, so luckily for me someone made a clone of the disc back in 2015.

I tried running it through a Windows 98 VirtualBox and installed the "Read with Me 1&2" well enough, plays well (outside of minor graphical hiccups)

The main problem is that Memphis Math fails to install due to some arcane installation method that utilizes Vshare or something and won't actually install the full game.

I've tried my hand over with D-fend and DOSBOX however, due to the .iso being installation .exe's and not actual Game .exe's, I'm stuck at a point where DOSBOX says.

"Illegal command, setup win."

From what I've read that means that its a windows setup and DOSBOX does not compute.

I'm so close to this juicy nut that I've been reaching for, but I can't seem to crack it.

Any tips?

OP again.

Fixed my issue by unpacking the initial ISO and creating a seperate iso for Memphis Math, and installed it.

It actually works.

My five year journey has come to an end.

Odd, I really needed help, however I did everything I needed within 6 hours without actual help.

What a strange night.

Last time I saw a VGM thread on /mu/ it full of non-retro shit and half the posters were talking about how nostalgic they get hearing the Halo theme

Hell yeah

Just buy a TV and be fucking done with it.

I swear you fags care more about specs then playing games.

Just ask the crt gen you needy autist.

Old PC content ran in high resolutions and I was looking for an all in one solution, but thanks for helping, dude.

>>3805404
I had a friend who owned one of these, it was actually a fun little thing (also quite cheap comparatively). I don't honestly think it was supposed to be a "console" as much as a novelty release with a few extras available for purchase.

Obvious answer to short lived console would be the Gizmondo, which was out for 11 months before it was discontinued.

Better question would be hardware that is obscure and lasted much longer than you'd expect, like the FM towns, which was in production for a whopping 8 years

>>3805404
dreamcast really wasnt able to take off, although its meager library is hella good.

I feel like its the same for the Turbografx and saturn, but those have a decent amount of japanese games.

your problem seems to be that you're a dumb faggot for playing stretched on an hdtv

>>3804868

i'm not i'm using an old sony trinitron from the early 90s and a composite cable

>>3804868

If you think this only happens on HDTV's you're in no position to call anyone dumb or a faggot. Unless you've got some tiny PVM you're going to see them now and again on the odd combination of game and system.

I'm always in favor of playing original translations for games I played as a kid. Even if they are technically Inferior translations to modern equivalents. FFVI in particular. The Woolsey translation is just so much more charming than the newer ones.

I'm always in favor of playing games in their original language.

>>3803350
I agree to an extent but have no justification for it other than muh nostalgia. Not that there needs to be justification for it as such but it is hard to argue one is better than the other.

use the d-pad

Tanks are controlled by running the tracks at different speeds make turns.
The classic retro game with tank controls is Atari's Battlezone. It was even adapted into a simulator for the US armed forces.

>>3805327
They're controls used for tanks. Many autists use the word incorrectly to describe controls that weren't actually ever used in a tank. Much like "retro"

Is there some trick to it? I know the general rules but I can't remember the valuable hands or figure out effective strategies.

Any recommendations for Sega Saturn and Dreamcast mahjong games?
I currently only played every Idol Janshi Suchie Pai game for Saturn, really fun series with many stuff to unlock and great soundtrack.

>belt-scrolling

No such thing.

>>3803050
It's a thing. Basically is a side-scroller that has some z-depth to it, so you can move up and down a bit.

>genre classifications don't count unless they're used by 'murricunts.

Don't buy one, I don't want prices to go up for me

Not at all, no. It's better. Get a Duo R with no sound/soft sound and plan on recapping or having it done.

>>3802492
No. The pc98 is the only way.

Myst is the best pc98 game!

Favorite? Probably Who Dunnit, with Bride of Pinbot and Taxi as runner ups.

As far as publisher goes, definitely Williams.
