Hello guys, I've been reading about a certain Fallout "bug" or rather funny workaround to have vehicles in an engine that doesn't properly supports them and I've gotten curious.
Do you guys know about some ingenious or interesting workaround used to bypass limitations of older hardware?

>the clouds in Super Mario Bros.
What about them?

Also what workaround did Fallout need to have "vehicles"? What vehicles does it even have? The highwayman doesn't move in-game, just in the overworld map.

Oh, you're talking about Fallout 3. I thought you were talking about the Highwayman in Fallout 2 and I was confused because it shouldn't need a workaround. Also what was that about the clouds in SMB?

Depends on the puzzle game. On Tetris DS, it's almost impossible to lose because you'll never run into a bad situation like getting consecutive pieces of Z's.

Ive been playing texmaster daily for about three months now so I think I have gotten better at Tetris. One day I may buy an arcade stick and try real TGM.

I'm trying to set up all my consoles with best possible picture quality.

NES
SNES
N64
GAMECUBE
GENESIS
DREAMCAST

For the Dreamcast I have a cheap VGA adapter going into a VGA to HDMI adapter.

For Genesis I'm using SCART to HDMI.

What should I do for the rest? Can my model one SNES use SCART? Should I use S-Video for N64 and GameCube? Help me out!

This is all going to a Samsung 62" Plasma btw. I have two CRT TVs but I'm tired of using them and I'm much more comfortable in the living room with my bigger TV. Also I'm getting old and can't see very well anymore so it's nice to have it on a big screen.

Me and my sister found a game called trappist blobs back in the early 90s on some obscure site. I've looked for it for two decades but never found it. You were a blob that built crazy traps,it was 2d and very open ended.

How the fuck do you beat this thing?

Every guide tells me I need to just put 16 plastic explosives on it, but I put all 20 on it, and nothing fucking happens.

Is this some kind of nasty anti piracy shit like in EarthBound?

To be clear, I'm using this romhack: http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/2445/ But that wouldn't effect something like this would it?

Well whatever, I guess there's a trick to skipping the super computer, so at least I still beat the game I guess.

I think Mr. Romhacker didn't fully test the game, just weather or not the changes worked.

Play the original? Why do you come here with the expectation that a ROM hack should be fully functional?

Is this a remake or a new installment in the Kunio-kun series?

It's a remake of Renegade, but with River City-style graphics and characters from all the FC Kunio-kun games. I'm not sure why they keep using the River City branding for localized Kunio games if they're keeping the Japanese settings this time.
>>
>>3738258
actually, tokyo rumble is a sequel of the remake.
>>
>>3738267
Yeah, you're right. I could've sworn Kunio-kun SP was being localized too for some reason.

Never played it until later on but willow is phenomenal. Really underrated game that still is relatively cheap for it's high quality.

For me the game that screams childhood more then anything is kirby's adventure. Loved it as a kid and still honestly one of my favorite games.

How come this is one of the least talked about RPGs of all time?

It has a pretty unique setting for a JRPG and a badass art style.

It's often mentioned when people ask for N64 RPGs.
It's definitely an addicting game, mostly because of the battles. The plot and setting are enjoyable if you're okay with that late 90s X-Files vibe and ayy lmaos.
Navigating the game can be a bit frustrating sometimes, but there's isn't anything too bad, and it even evoke some moments of survival horror as well, it really plays a lot with bending genres, but at its core, this game is a dungeon crawler with turn-based wrestling combat, and light TPS/3D platforming action.
The combat is the best thing, which is rare to say about an RPG. It mixes 3D fighting and wrestling elements with turn-based combat and menues, and somehow it fucking works.
Thankfully it has a VS mode, if you can find someone to play with, it's a blast.

So currently I'm playing Parasite Eve 2 and I'm really into the combat, it's a cool variant of the "traditional" RE gunplay. Can we get a thread of good RE-alikes going? No restrictions on systems or generation.

If you're into the Onimusha style check out Vampire Hunter D. Once the get the hang of it it's really a great game (just turn off the autolock system)

There is also Soul of the Samurai with a scenario system similar to RE2

Deep Freeze, jap only but all the voices are in English. Hard game, couldn't never beat it even on easy.

This game is such a fascinating mix of quality and shit, I love it.

There's tons of attention to detail that makes me think it had to have been made by fans. Wolverine has his healing factor, Nightcrawler's teleport actually serves transportation purposes, Jean picks you up out of pits instead of just respawning you. The characters also all have significant differences that affect how you play them.

Like they were more concerned with being faithful to the characters than they were about balance, and that's great in a way.

>Wait, Nightcrawler can just bamf through that wall? Should we fix that?
>Why? He's Nightcrawler, he can go wherever the fuck he wants, of course he can bamf through walls.

At the same time, so much of it's shit. Enemies will spawn on screen and attack you at the same moment, the sound design is HORRIBLE, all the bosses are insane without assists and a complete joke with them, etc.

Even the soundtrack reflects this: the compositions are nice but the instruments are horrible.

I wish I knew more about the development of this game, it must be fascinating.

I am almost certain Generations Lost uses the same engine. It's plagued by many of the same problems. The Sound issues are because this is another G.E.M.S.-based game. Still, the solution to Mojo's Crunch is cool as fuck. Kojima would be proud.
