I remember reading about this in the Sun as a kid and, typical of them, they claimed it could explode in a child's face.

When a friend got one, I told him about that and we took great pleasure in smashing it up.

Why don't you enjoy not being a fucking retard and just download an emulator you worthless piece of shit?

>>3719402
wait till there is a 4k upscaler.

Look into OSSC

That's a fucking abomination. The only dreams you should have about that are nightmares.

Your dream came out in 2001.

>>3719372
Impossible!

>>3719352
Huh, they sure don't look comfortable to use, but it might be something you warm up to over time. Like I hated the Game Cube Ascii/Sammy Keytroller at first, and now it's my favorite when using that console.

I heard they feel a lot like an Xbox controller.

Those would crush tiny little gook hands

Some strange that this game felt so good the first time but upon replaying it this year it came out as mostly stupid garbage and a massive downgrade after the first one. The hubworlds, swimming ability and final boss are the only things of value in this.

If you think Spyro 2 is that bad then don't even play 3, you might have a stroke or something.

>>3721163
Replayed the whole original trilogy actually, 3 actually fixes some problems 2 had but then it brought a fat lot of others.

There are a bunch of the kind of videos that were sold/rented on laserdisc, I like to watch these from time to time.
Anyway, here's Air Combat LD:

That's pretty cool. Remind me of these shots of Prince of Persia's rotoscoping process (or was it Another world?).

Anyway, posting another video:

okay

The first game I had for my N64 was Turok and I didn't even know about them until I tried to save. Luckily, I knew the big cheat. I used that to warp to stages until I finally got a controller pak. Now, I use a third party rumble pak that has 4 memory cards built in. No more swapping for me.

Who's that girl? The art style seems extremely familiar but I don't recognize the character. Image search doesn't help.

I just liked the drag racing segment really. Recently revisited it and it's fucking terrible.

Gran Turismo was a game-changer alright.

>>3719051
5 was a lot better. And then 6 came along as was the worst.

I played Ape Escape recently and even did 100%, it's so good, I love how it made creative use of the two analogs, never saw something like this in the PS1. Can't wait to play 2 and 3.

btw when I was a kid Megaman was absolutely my favorite franchise, even today I still like it a lot, the one that I played the most probably was X5, I don't think that I beated this game less than (literally) 70 times.

I don't know the names, but there was one song I always chose over the other, it was mandatory. Pic is probably best level too.

Songs are mediocre at best.
The night stages look the coolest. Thought, sunset was also beautiful.
I don't remember really prefering one track to the others, design-wise.

Every time I went the games I wanted were rented (likely just never returned by some asshole.) A couple times I was that asshole. I destroyed a rental copy of Megaman Legends and my parents had to pay for it. By the time the original Xbox came out I started renting games and copying them. It was far easier than trying to download them off the internet in those days, even if I could get games they were usually only the latest ones so I'd raid the local rental shop.

Video stores usually had a bunch of games for consoles I didn't own, so there was always the issue of staying in the section of games you could actually play. It was all about the box art most of the time, because purchases were too expensive to buy based on that, but a rental was no big deal if it turned out shit. I mostly remember what the NES sections were like. Seemingly every rental kiosk has Excitebike, Mega Man 2 and 4, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1 & 2, Renegade, and Blaster Master. At grocery stores rentals usually lasted 2 days, or 3 if you rented on Friday. Games game in plastic cases which may have contained the instruction manual, but seemingly more often had a sticker with general controls, cheats, and hints on what to do if you got stuck at a pretty common spot.

ITALY here.

There were chain rental stores like blockbuster but also a lot of private ones, they had games from snes up to ps2 since they closed basically in the last 5 years or so here.

BUT once the ps1 came out, everyone here was burning cd for modified ps1 so renting game faded a bit.

What a weird baitpost.
Nobody here thinks otherwise, OP, this is a retro board.

were you expecting people here to jump and say "NO! PS4/SWITCH/XBONER IS BETTER" or something

I never expected the Japanese to fall behind like the way they did.

>>3718895
This.

I'm not weeb but I've always preferred Japanese game developers. Nowadays the only one that's successful is Nintendo and Sega.

>tfw small Japanese developers that made amazing games like Takeru are never coming back

Sega screwed up three generations in a row and it was outclassed by the other systems in terms of backing, anti piracy measures, and exclusives

>>3718841
b-but remember how revolutionary it was!
e-everybody still love arcade ports, right?!

Dreamcast arguably contained the best GPU on the market until the release of GeForce 256.

It was very ahead of its time.

PowerVR 2 with its tile based deferred rendering was genius.

Can't help you there.

I was making some decent progress in Wizardry 1 when I decided to upgrade the classes of two of my best offense heavy-hitters to Samurai.

Which dropped their levels back to 1, which sort of sucked my desire to continue playing (I'll pick it up again one day).

For any wizardry buffs out there, is it worth possible to have Ninjas on a team of largely good party members? Or does everyone need to be neutral? Is it even worth the hassle?

>>3719649
They still keep their HP and some of their spellcasting so they're not the same as level 1 characters. They should also level up quickly from the enemies the rest of your party can kill.
What hurts the most in my eyes are the stats resetting to racial minimum, otherwise fighters don't really lose much. The best idea is to switch to lord since you can't start with them and more healing is always useful.


You can have evil and good characters in the same party. The trick is to send them separately into the maze and them have them join up there.
You can also get evil characters good by not attacking non-hostile encounters.
Personally I don't think ninjas are worth it. They can't really replace a thief at disarming and they don't offer more in combat than a fighters, lord or samurai.

>>3719649
The level draining mechanic is stupid.
