Did you get the remaster or...?

>>3716558
Yes, I play it on my Vita

>>3716556
You're in for more typically illogical frustrating puzzles of the 80s-90s adventure games and kinda underwhelming ending cut-scene

MORTAL KOMBAT IS NOT A FIGHTING GAME

it's a murder simulator for casuals

>>3716516
Strategy games. It's not that I'm horrible at them, it's just that I like a good story and fast gameplay.

If I don't have one or the other, I get bored quickly. Either give me a shooter, a fast-paced platformer or an RPG with some heart. I hate strategy titles.

FF tactics gets a pass, though. I find Ivalice intriguing.

>>3716521
Lol true, I'm mostly talking about games like Street Fighter here.

>>3716514
The vast majority of games weren't nes ports though, the hardware wasn't even that similar.

Gargoyles quest.

>>3716514
Kid Dracula is a NES port!?

>>3716387
No, no there's not. Better to avoid it all together. In fact you're better off avoiding this board completely, I hear /v/ is a much better place.

I keep mine around for whenever I feel like busting out some seaman.

>get superior ports

If they were a NAOMI game (Crazy Taxi, Marvel vs Capcom 2, Ikaruga, etc), they were inferior since the Dreamcast hardware is identical to a NAOMI system, so the DC ports were perfect. Then there's non-arcade games like Sonic Adventure and Skies of Arcadia that play and/or look/sound better on the DC. As for exclusives, DC got lots of gems like Shenmue, Illbleed, Blue Stinger, D2, Maken X, Cannon Spike, Gundam Side Story, Metropolis Street Racer just to name a few. So yes, there's plenty of reasons to own a DC.

No it was just another Squaresoft game.

>did anyone play this in 1994
No because it got released in 1995.

I got it as a gift from my dad when he went on a business trip to new york. he mailed me Chrono Trigger and mailed my brother Super Metroid

I knew it was a great game but I had no idea it would be as popular as it was.

Even as a kid you can tell what games are shit and whats good. Chrono Trigger had it all. Great graphics, fun JRPG gameplay with enough different to set it apart, it was pretty easy but it also had amazing pacing.

The "dream team" articles and screenshots in game magazines had me more hyped than any game in my life, and it actually lived up to those impossible expectations. Just watching that intro animation you could feel you were in for something special.

>>3716181
Define items and all? You mean like 100% completion or like just the shit to beat the game because I did the latter two years ago playing for the first time without any help.

>>3716196
Yep. 100 percent items.

Plenty.

That honor belongs to Tetris Battle Gaiden on SFC. That game is so damn fun.

BAKU BAKU, highly underrated game.

Maybe not the best but worth a try if you like the genre.

>mfw my suggestion was taken for the OP and thread name

>>3715839
You probably want a "no-intro" set, it will be the easiest to work with. "good sets" are great too but they have a lot of stuff that you won't want like bad dumps and trainers.

>>3715862
This is what I'm talking about. I want sets with just the pure roms, no trainers or anything. Are the no-intro sets what I want?

>>3715935
Yes.

Thanks so much for this, OP, I feel like a kid again.

Everything wrong about modern graphics in 1 video

—shadows and lights so harsh, it's like you're looking at a nuclear explosion

—poorly lit dark areas where you literally can't see anything, looking like a poor low light phone camera video

—needless exhibition of grass movement and other "tech"

—needless shining objects everywhere, making the game look like a christmas tree

—cartoon models have realistic lightning, bump mapping and so on, which obviously clashes with them being cartoon

And of course, what better game to pick for this than America's holy cow of retro video gaming, the game you can't say anything bad about or else you'll face consequences.

My collection is a pretty good collection.

Megaman x collextion

Capcom Classics (both titles)
Gradius Collection
both on PSP

I have one. It doesn't work so I play my much more ruggedly built and nearly as cool looking x'eye instead

The original model Mega CD model is too unreliable to justify its price.

>>3715603
Why is it unreliable? Just the tray or am I missing something?

>>3715428
Yes

What's the difference between 2chip and 1chip SNESes?

>>3715704
To clarify I was looking for one a while back and I think I came to the conclusion that they are likely to have a serial number greater than 240000 or 250000. You're going to need to communicate with the seller to verify.
