Whoops

Play Final Fantasy Legend. That's my advice.

>>3737471
Parodius.

If you want to play games, get a flash cart
If you want some pretty plastic on your shelf, avoid eBay except for bulk buys of cartridges. NES is a bitch to get into because are fucking expensive. SNES has a lot of RPGs but has the same problem as the NES. The genesis in the other hand is a cheaper 'alternative' to the SNES, if you like beatem ups. N64 has platformers but PS1 has RPGs. Don't know about the Dreamcast desu.

You're doing it wrong.

At least what im seeing are Power Armor corpses and not Chryssalid corpses, though I think the latter would be more excusable.

>>3737342
Dear lord, not a space between anyone.
Don't bunch up like that. Ever.

Play any Kirby game OP

Git Gud

the reality is nobody gave a shit about this game until it was mentioned in smash bros

It's like Metroid lite where you go up instead of going down.

I thought he said GAAME OVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

GAY BONEEEEEERRRRR

BRU BRU SKIES I'C.

yeah, we need a hack that does this:
Restores Peach's and Bowser's original celebration animations from the Japanese Version where they're drinking their champagne.
The ability to play Special Cup in 50CC.

BAD COLLISION DETECTION

>>3736813

Tutorial underwater stealth levels are probably worse

It depends largely on the game.

In a Dragon Quest game? It's absolutely part of the experience. On a second playthrough or with a guide, a DQ game loses a lot of what makes it great, which is talking to every NPC you can find in order to figure out what to do next.

Unfortunately, some games simply don't intuitively let you know what to do and you end up guessing until you figure it out. This is a result of the piss-poor QA testing most retro games went through, where meeting license requirements was more important than bug fixes.

>>3736739
It's absolutely part of it, though I feel that while what >>3736769 says is true, that there is also a fine line to walk as to how a game is intuitive or not intuitive, and indeed, if a certain thing that you have to figure out even SHOULD be intuitive. It's a very subjective thing too, all things are in games (what's hard to some is easy to others, and it varies across genres or even games in the same genre) and it's based on what you're used to. Likewise, anything dealing with progress in a game where figuring out what to do is a challenge will be very subjective, as not everyone will struggle with the same things, and not everyone will see something as intuitive, and even then if you somehow do make everything intuitive, then you might yet get complaints that the game is too easy. I would argue that making a tough but fair exploration game is one of the hardest things there is to do, because chances are good that someone will not be able to get through a tough exploration game without either reading a guide or being very, very good at solving puzzles and riddles. La-Mulana is what I always think of, I suck at figuring out the real meaning behind clues and hints, so I'm awful at progressing in that game. But someone who is really good at that sort of thing may breeze through the title. That's why I don't feel like I could call it badly designed unless there are multiple spots where little or no people at all got through without a guide.

Depends on how cryptic or intuitive it is.

If it can be reasonably figured out within the game, it's a good thing that adds depth and exploration. Done well it can give the illusion that a linear game is far more open and alive than it actually is.

If it's random bullshit like "Stand on this specific pixel 10 squares to the left of some castle and pres up+down+A+select to enter the next stage" and there is no sort of puzzle or hint anywhere in the game that would even slightly suggest you need to do that, it's a lazy mechanic meant to artificially extend the length of the game by forcing the player to do random actions until they get lucky.

>>3736649
Put it up for $180 or nearest offer, or start an auction at $150-$160

List it for $40 buy it now and then PM the link and I'll let you know if it will sell.

>>3736654
I guess I can try that. Thanks

>>3736657
If I did that it would sell before I could send you the link.

I forget, can you parry during attack animations?

>>3736586
just defend is a better mechanic but parries are more satifying and show offy

>>3736586
Just Defend is superior, though I'd prefer both games without them altogether. There is a point where a game becomes too advanced to the point that it starts feeling like work to learn/play/improve.

None, because I've never played a single one of these games.

The Wacky Wheels one I guess. I played Crystal Caves too though its version isn't exactly a memorable theme. Did the early Keen games also have that opening?

>>3736578
Blake Stone, Halloween Harry, Duke Nukem 2, and Raptor in that order. I do not remember the rest. I did play Rise of the Triad, but not enough to remember that the jingle varied.

I am guessing I placed Blake Stone first since the sound fonts were similar to Wolfenstein 3D which I think used the exact same one. However, I did play (and register) Halloween Harry for its music earlier releases had the audio player executable, and that sticks with me (fanfare used all 4 channels of my Sound Blaster).

As long as you didn't pay more than $60 or so, it's fine. Good game.

>>3736534
That's what I paid for mine in 1998

I remember being excited when I almost got it for $200

At this point I will never own this game.
