Is it an official everdrive or a chink clone?

My chink everdrive has issues like that with one or two games. I have no idea what causes it, but I'm not sure it can be fixed, since the firmware can't be updated. If it's an official everdrive, try updating the firmware.

If that doesn't work, you may be stuck with emulation, unfortunately. On the plus side, it doesn't seem like it happens with many games.

I can't test that game on my everdrive at the moment, but I will once I get home.

>>3799605
It's a chink clone, so yeah, that very well could be it. I just ordered an actual cart of the game. I own quite a few carts anyways, and this one was only 5 bucks, so eh, no big loss or anything. Just found it to be pretty weird. Would really appreciate if you tested it though!

I have the official fc n8. Just tested MM from the no intro set...works fine. Try another rom...or 100...some of them can be wonky

And to think that you could have learned enough Japanese to play it and every other untranslated game in half that time.

So many Ocarina of Time fake secrets.
I remember being like 13 when it came out.
Didn't have internet at home yet; went to work with dad at his graveyard shift.
No one in the office and I could use the PC to myself.
Searched for Zelda secrets.
Tried so many of them, one including bombing the Sheikah stone and hitting them when they turn red so they freeze that way.
Tip said to turn every Sheikah stone red and you can get to the Triforce.
mfw this wasn't even the hardest fake rumor I tried.
mfw trying these fake rumors led to me liking the game even more by having these crazy side adventures in the game.
mfw I love vidya.

Amen to that, brother.

Ocarina of Time also had this one underground pit, and in the pit there was a little pond, and at the bottom of that pond was a bunch of rupees in the shape of an arrow pointing to the wall. I can't find any pictures of it, and I don't remember which pit it was exactly, but god damn. GOD DAMN, what a tease.

I fucking love Panel De Pon.

Have you guys tried the Gamecube re-release?

Playing it in 3D is pretty trippy.

Why didn't Sega use that logo for all regions? I hated the balloon letters they used for the U.S. and Europe.

hard to say, lots of weird decisions across all regions, many of them by SoA are particularly hard to justify.

It's hard to say there's a bad game in the Panzer Dragoon series, except if you're really reaching for the odd ones like the R-Zone game. The original has the most iconic music and iconic levels with some very simple and focused mechanics and design. Love how the challenge builds up very steadily as you progress, with the first stage essentially being a casual flight, the second stage being a frantic effort to maximize kills and dodge sand worms, and everything from then on a hectic, cramped, and tense experience where new challenges are constantly created.

I've been a saturn owner for 4 days. I burned a copy of what I'm pretty sure is every single shmup released for the system. Something like 50 games. At least 80% of them are fucking kick ass, I was really surprised at just how few of them seemed like shovel ware. I've spent all weekend just checking the discs and playing each game for a minute just to get a general impression before moving onto the next. It's taken all weekend because most of them are compelling enough to want to burn through at least a credit on despite the fact that I had so many games to test.

Twinklestar Sprites is awesome, but I kind of like the dreamcast version a little better just because I'm more familiar with it.

Die Hard Arcade is rad, tons of fun revisiting it since it used to be a staple of going to the local pizza place for me when I was younger.

I really like Darius Gaiden. I thought it was a little plain jane and average at first, and maybe it is in all fairness, but it's fun as fuck with a ton of branching paths.

I'm assuming the Strikers 1945 games are sequels or spinoffs of 1942-3 even though they aren't made my Capcom. Had a blast with them.

There's a shmup where you control a tank that's really cool too. Guardian Heroes I think (the title definitely started with a G). You control your turret with A and C and fire with B, gotta use your fingers to tap the buttons instead of your thumbs (like how you'd use arcade buttons) or else the controls are awkward

I'd never played through Parodius games before. Gradius sort of pisses me off with its power up system and how you're pretty much cucked if you die once. The Parodius games are like a hybrid between Salamander and Gradius, you still have to collect the generic power up tokens but the game automatically upgrades your ship for you. These games are Japanese af though. I have absolutely no idea why someone would think a fairly no-frills shmup series was in need of satirization. But the games are solid.

I believe the saturn was on-par with this, actually.

That is, of course, unless you had the RAM cartridge. Then you got all of the frames for your fighting games.

>Muh RAM

Metal Slug never ran well in the first place

>>3794094
PSX had too little memory to do 2d games, and had no specific 2d tilemapper to make porting easy (most 2d games used tilemapping hardware, which allowed them to make bigger levels with way less memory, and to do a lot of scanline-based special effects - mode 7 being the most popular example).

>>3794107
Saturn Metal Slug had twice as much animation and no level loading, thanks partially to it using the 1mb RAM cart, and mostly because it had a dedicated tilemapper background chip which offloaded a shit ton of processing from the sprite processor.

Transport Tycoon:

>bribe the officials, build an airport anywhere you want to
>swastika islands
>naming your CEO something filthy, get his portrait on newspapers for all your competitors to see
>sneakily cutting roads so that your competitor can't get their trucks to their truck stops
Motherfucking plane crashes, train accidents, and financial frauds!
Occupying huge spots of land just for the fucks of it!
>oh you want to build a shipyard here? well FUCK YOU!
Spending millions of dollars on bridges that stretch from continent to another, all because you have the money for it
Funding your own city!
Some company has a monopoly on some neighborhood? Fund a street construction work so that their trucks and buses can't get to their destination!

I fucking love Transport Tycoon! I get to be the smug rich asshole I always wanted to be.

>>3799935
I wonder what that art style is called. Many 90s computer magazines had art like that.

Aside from collecting more characters to perform combo attacks that's about it. That and finding more runes. And a barebones tbs minigame

>>3799980
I am guessing those combo attacks are the unity attacks that I have seen a few times. I assume that you can perform them with characters that have some sort of story relation to one another.

Is the second game very similar mechanically, or are there other aspects to the battle mechanics, character customization, and so on?

>>3799998
Second game has same graphics, UI, basic mechanics, etc. Just has a better story and characters. And it's longer
