Some may say "yeah" but personally I think they're unplayable now.

I don't mind cryptic shit in my games, I like to think a little here and then, but KF is waaay too cryptic for it's own good, and when you have clunky slow (understandably) controls, it just makes things more tedious.

I'm sure it was fine for its time because there wasn't a lot to compare it to but now I just can't play it, and I tried a lot.

I'm often a purist other than for convenience but I maintain that the Playstation Kings Field games are better through emulation because you can do custom bindings to get dual analog controls and you can overclock it. Shadow Tower isn't quite as slow but it still benefits from the control binding.

I thought the ones I played on ps1 were great back in the day. I was really excited when I heard kings field the ancient city was coming out on ps2, but when I got it there was something weird about the camera and movement that gives me a massive headache after only playing for a few minutes. I tried to play it many times but it always happened and it was too much to just deal with and keep playing. Still haven't heard about anyone else with similar issues, and it's the only first person game I've ever had a problem with playing.

Any expensive game will probably have pictures of the PCB, but for most repros, the shells are a dead giveaway (plastic screws on SNES repros, saying GAME instead of Nintendo Game Boy on GB repros, etc).

A trained eye can tell by the label. An untrained eye can tell by opening it up and seeing an afro-rigged board.

Learn how to analyze things, especially the PCBs. I do predict, though, that as scum make better and better bootlegs, the market will get flooded with legitimate looking carts and some of the fad hoppers might move on. But who knows.

There's even people who bootleg prototypes, which is extremely shitty.

But that's easier than shooting Womp Rats back on Tatooine

Dog is easy, use penguin's weapon. It's pattern is kind of unpredictable but it goes down fast.

Sigma can easily be cheesed. Wall jump into the top corner and let sigma bounce off the walls three times. After the third one fall, as he tries to bounce back on the ground you can attack him in place and his jump will be just over your head. When he finally lands just wall jump to the corner and repeat.

Sigma Wolf (I assume that's its name) is pure skill. Most annoying attack in my opinion is the fire since even if you hug the walls the hands still have a a chance of shooting lightning over you.

What is this and why does it exist

>>3744885
Yoda Stories

>>3744885
Because it's the toughest game in the series. The AI is always several steps ahead of you.

These are the games I have installed at work:

Doom
Master of Magic
Master of Orion 2
Lemmings
SimCity 2000
Tyrian
Settlers 2
Diablo
Total Annihilation
HoMM 3

That's what happens when you grip Genny carts too tight. They just weren't made with Nintendo quality.

I don't know if it's my favorite, but it's the only one I ever finished. That has to count for something.

Sometimes you just gotta Bug out with your nug out.

Game's shit.

In some alternate reality Bug succeeded as Sega's new mascot after Sonic and Bug Adventure was an amazing game.

I would say Earthbound or Secret of Mana, but I don't know of any that do it automatically.

That sounds an awful lot like Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru (For Frog the Bell Tolls)

Bumping, I'm interested to see if I got OP's game right.

Fallout is a game that's better on the second replay, I think. Your first time you're struggling with figuring out how to build a good character and with unintended consequences of your actions. The second play through where you actually know what you're doing is a lot smoother, and there's a good chance it'll be more fun since you'll understand the system well enough that you can build a character who is to your liking.

what is it about this game that gives it such a retro feel?

Yes, this because you can experience the plot from a whole new perspective once you know the secret of the black monster.

It doesn't say Nintendo. It's definitely a bootleg.

Well the PCB image on the Krikz site doesn't have Nintendo either as far as I can tell.. pic related

>>3744154
why not just ask Krikkzz himself?

Can be great if you have the self control not to abuse them.

save states can improve a lot of retro games but can also really sap the fun out of them if you rely on them instead of gittin gud (in my experience).

They're 100% shit except for replacing a password feature

Even that's sometimes cheating since some passwords don't keep track of your current life and such

>>3744049

>Playing a game that has any sort of saving function.

Dumbass.

I guarantee the answer is Forest for most

When I first played the game I entered the Ice Cavern.

I suspect more than a few playtesters at NoA did this too since there's official promotional material of Link fighting Phantom Ganon with the Zora Tunic.

Went for Forest Temple but found myself more going to fire temple when realizing I could. Some people think you can do the Water Temple first but only to a certain extent without the bow. Mine as well not count it cause you need to go through part of the Forest Temple to complete it.

Collector's items tend to raise it price over time and with popularity. How is this actually surprising to anyone?

>>3743991
It's not surprising, as much as it is utterly retarded.

>starts mainly in 2012

AGDQ is this cause, I hate those faggots

>>3743982
If anything, this trend makes me feel better about splurging on games, because no matter what I buy, if I regret it, I can easily resell it for the same or more within a few months.
