I'm kinda unsure...

>Eye Of The Beholder
>Terminator 2029
Those aren't even FPSes, and 2029 is a level of clunky that's repulsive if you're expecting any sort of FPS
>Hovertank 3D

>Corridor 7 + 8
>Ken's Labyrinth
>Nitemare 3D
>Operation Body Count
>Super Noah's Ark 3D
>Wolfenstein +
Those are seriously minimal, do they really need to get tangled together with those way fancier shooters?

I'm guessing it's the +'es that are add ons that make the torrent particularly interesting?

How dead is it exactly? Are many of the parts of it nevertheless completely there?

Eye of the Beholder is still in an FPS perspective. From the readme

>I tried not to get too carried away with RPG games, as this torrent was originally for only FPS games.

>This torrent does not include maze-walkers, light gun shooters/on the rails shooters, or full realtime three dimensional shooters like Quake and beyond. No disrespect for the games, but that just is not what this torrent is for.

and

>Key:
Pluses (+) indicate sequels/add ons of the games that are included (that I know of).

The majority of the games are fully seeded but a bunch aren't.

The idea of the torrent is preservation and trying to have a 'complete' archive of old school FPSs.

>>3774167
Oh, okay. So the +'s are generally official add ons? And the torrent is still mostly intact, then it's not exactly dead? Then likely someone will come along with some of the missing titles anyway.

>>3773923
You can play them however you want. They're all self contained except for a couple like OoT and MM. Playing them in release order is good.

The stupid timeline didn't even exist until Skyward Sword.

>>3773923
I would play them in release order honestly.

I'd go pseudo-release order
>LoZ
>Adventure of Link
>Links Awakening
>A link to the past
>The Oracle Games
>Minish Cap
Then move onto 3D
>OoT
>MM
>Windwaker
>Twilight Princess
>Skyward Sword

Final 2 are by far the worst Zelda games ever made.

>>3773967
Nigga, Twilight Princess is one of the best ones.

RPG fags be on it

>>3773889
because its legitimately good and it sold like shit statewide.

>>3773889
That's nothing.. try looking at ogre battle and EVO prices

The last few RPGs that I need in my collection

You were expected to discuss it on the playground. This was before social media and people actually talked to each other.

>>3773837
>Went to a school where everyone was either involved with sports or music with zero interests with anything to do with games

Well that sorta makes sense I guess. Though my youth was more on the SNES/Genesis side of things where it was less about puzzles and more about action, like that fucking X Men Clone Wars game.

>>3773837
But how were any one of this kids on the playground find out? Where did the chain begin?

>>3773756
metroid fusion was my favorite metroid game

post futa Samus

one day I'll play Metroid II, maybe, maybe I'll just skip to Super Metroid instead, who knows.

Check out "OSSC". Best thing so ar for this, and it can range from affordable to cheap, depending on your skillset.

>>3773654
I would, but i want to record in 1080p.

>>3773635
I have a 1 chip SNES and my Game Genie does the exact same thing. Maybe they just don't get along for whatever reason? Mine goes as far as ruining color pallets and such. Like just very clearly not working properly levels of video issues.

GAME OVER

>>3773495
Embarrassingly, I probably played Tekken 2 more than any other person in the world. I know so many tricks and glitches that are completely unknown on the Internet. I know a trick with Baek that probably no one else in the world knows. It's basically a block breaker that lets you get in a free 2,2 or a f,f+2 throw. If someone else knows it, then it's because I posted about it on tekkenzaibatsu or shoryuken like more than a decade ago and someone bothered to read it. I also posted it on /vr/ about 5 years ago.

Another trick he has is if the first two hits of 4,3,4,3,3, are blocked then the rest are unblockable. Similar to Bruce's 1,2,d+4,3 if 1,2 are blocked.

Baek (and pretty much everyone else) is still garbage compared to Bruce, Wang, Armor King, Kazuya, Devil, Heihachi though. Fucking Mishimas can get free twin pistons off of a counter hit JAB. What a broke ass game. Still, it holds a dear place in my heart.

doom is when pc games started being good, anything before then is forgotten for good reason.

Early IBM compatible or early personal computers such as Apple II?

Can you name anything else? Like what the factions were or so.

It brought the cancer that is bunny hopping to the genre.

>>3773160
So in other words you aren't good enough to play against skilled players so you blame the game?

Reasons why quake sucks
>Brown military base, brown castle
>MUCH easier than Doom, lol
>First boss is very easy and defeated by stepping on switches
>Poor monster variety
>At the time, it was graphically impressive but designed in a way that was unnecessarily favorable to Intel processors

Reasons why Quake is great:
>Co-op
>Netplay
>Cool powerups

It doesn't hold a candle to Quake II or Unreal for me, but those came later.

I always wanted to get ahold of a TurboFile. It's an external memory drive for the FC that a few games supported such as Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari. There was a version for the SFC as well

>>3773143
>The Turbo File devices from ASCII Corporation are external storage devices for saving game positions on various Nintendo consoles. The devices have been sold only in Japan, and they are mainly supported by ASCII's own games.
So this thing was basically a way to get save states before SNES emulation? Not bad.

Don't forget the Barcode Boy, a similar system for the Game Boy. Had its own games instead of interfacing with a barcode battler. If you watch GCCX one of the seasons featured Barcode Battler as a B-segment.

Pic related is a Saturn floppy disk drive. Supported by like, 7 games? Including Panzer Dragoon Saga, interestingly. Just for save data backups mostly but I think it's neat as hell.

Kartia

Evil Zone. It's a semi-decent 1 button fighter with a very 90s anime aesthetic.

Harmful Park if you want something short and fun.

Yes.

>I much prefer top down racers on old consoles.
That's nice.

yeah

Just recently got into them. Top down is also cool, but you see even less in those. Single screen racers are the best 2D racers, but sadly only a couple exist.

They also require you get get fucking good.

Short answer is no.

As far as I know nobody has mass produced the Nintendo AV out meaning it'd have to get harvested from another console. Furthermore the Famicom doesn't naturally produce RGB, I am not qualified to explain exactly how its video works but the best you can get from it naturally is composite. There is a board that can be installed to produce RGB but it's not exactly authentic. This board was meant to be fitted in an NES and requires an adapter board and some awkward squeezing and cutting to fit in the much smaller Famicom so people generally go for the AV Famicom instead.

I'd just stick with a composite mod and get an RGB modded AV Famicom for non-microphone purposes.

>>3772912
RGB =/= Component

You need a component encoder for the component cables to work. Installing just the multi out isn't enough. I've never heard of someone installing such a mod anyway. Just go RGB and use a SCART to Component converter to save some money.

>>3772912
Any RGB mod that you stick a multi connector on will have well both. No idea if anyone has done it but if you do an RGB mod it's easy enough to use whatever connector you want.
