You're not that retarded are you?

Each transformation or piece of armor you wear has different charm values, the shopkeepers won't sell certain items unless you have a high enough charm. You can look that value up in the inventory screen.

It does get mentioned from time to time as one of the better late games to have come out for the N64. I enjoyed playing it, but it was not the SMRPG 2 that I was really hoping it would be. I can see where they tried and they still did a pretty good job at it, and maybe I had very high expectations for it. Either way, it was still enjoyable in its own right, just not SM64 good.

It's shit.

Don't even think about replying to it

The problem is with the SRAM. Someone on GameFAQs had a similar issue but fucked up installing the new chip. http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/198314-pokemon-yellow-version-special-pikachu-edition/74205973 With steadier hands you might be alright.

Can you take pics of what you're seeing? I'm intrigued.

MOTHER always had a distinct atmosphere.

Well, explain yourself, OP.

>>3730485
Well no shit. This is the reason why most people love Virtua Fighter. AM2 did a great job getting down fighting styles. The only thing they fucked up was moon physics.

AWOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Side by Side Special 2000

Turmoil. Fucking awesome blazing fast shooting game. Like inside-out Tempest.

Adventure
River Raid
Yar's

If you have a lot of money why not just go to ebay where all the fucks who bought it last year for $100 will try to sell it to you for $200

Of course. What made you think video game collectors are any different from other kinds of collectors? That's what the hobby is about.

>I just a hard copy

I hope such illiterate monkeys don't get to play Earthbound.

Yeah, I know, they wouldn't play it anyway, it's just for shelf. Just hard copy.

For me, it was trying to unlock Luigi in Mario 64.

The flaking metal from your braces coats the cartridge pins thus providing better conductivity.

This q-tip meme needs to die.

The fucking fibres tear off and clog up the connectors worse than when you started. Get some proper lint-free foam-tipped cleaning swabs for fuck's sake.

I don't know much about modern games, so I play games I know.

Modern games emphasize graphics and story over fun. That's the most underrated word in all of video gaming, fun. You can talk to me all day about frame rates and resolutions but I really don't care.

>>3729459
This. Old games are just fun at the end of the day. Modern day gaming is presuming itself to be something other than a whimsical electronic toy.

Because in England whores DO have a place

the PAL standard has caused the populous by and large to think slower, to have worse reaction times, and due to the implementation in games, has given them a poor perception of game design.

>>3729212
personally no, games are designed for you to fail at constantly. this prepares you for later stages and if you can't do things correctly then technically you never learned anything or paid any attention. that's how i feel

why do you want approval anyway

When I was a lad I used to use savestates. I'd use them to get past difficult parts of games, or as a fast alternative to save points in RPGs. Now that I'm older, I only use them if I'm hacking a game.

I think I stopped using them after getting burned playing Breath of Fire. I was near the end of the game fighting some little kid at the top of a huge tower. Something happened with the savestate and I ended up saving a bug-frozen game. When I loaded up the SRAM, it seemed I hadn't saved in 30+ hours, so I just dropped the fucking game.

Since then I have recognized when I first was playing Tetris Attack, I thought the AI was literally unbeatable unless you used savestates, yet now I can crush any opponent in 15 seconds. I think save states limit your ability to get good at a game, feel accomplished when you beat a challenge, and generally detract from the experience. Maybe you don't feel the same way, but I'd recommend against there use.

Yes, I need to play every retro game possible and doing games traditionally is for fags.

It was the last stop before the Wii, appreciate it for what it has.

I'd rather have a few FUN first party games than a bunch of AAA that's actually shit.

>>3729162
The problem is that its main competitor, the PS1, has a wide range of quality developers and titles. I'm not saying the N64 is bad itself, the first party titles are nice, but it's seriously bad in numbers.

Nobody has ever said that this game is anything more or less than mediocre.

I agree.

>>3729135
I think SNES Simcity Simcity is the best version of the game. But all the sequels improved in it in a lot of ways except for the comfy factor.
