Final fantasy 7

Title is misleading since you can have a command-line interface and still have graphics, e.g. King's Quest I.

I'm trying to get through Infocom's Starcross right now. Not sure I would say it's a good game so far... the limitations of the implementation back then worked better for lighthearted whimsical stuff like Zork than hard-ish science fiction. But I'm enjoying it.

I played a DOS game as a kid called Sir Guy Gallant. a text mystery.

Fun, but I wrote over the floppy as an idiot child and now I don't have it. It's hard to find, especially since the title is the name of a famous legend.

>the glorious '80s European computer gaming scene

I'm European but I'm not that old.
What did I miss? From what I've seen, the computer scene is mostly demos, any actual good games you can recommend from that era?

It kind of sucks. It's jarring going back to my Mega Drive and playing Sonic at 50hz instead of 60.
I think I'll eventually invest in a Japanese Saturn and maybe a Japanese MD to get the NTSC experience.
Best way to play Saturn games? Is it still just burning discs?

You know being in PAL land I don't understand why you would bother with RF especially since I am pretty sure that TV has a RGB compatible SCART port.

Just saying,

>>3713149
The developers didn't intend for RGB.

>RF
What's wrong with you?

Nice ad hominem.

Maybe you're just bad at games.

I like this one for Splatterhouse 2. It makes me feel better that I'll probably never have an actual SH2 cart because I'd rather play the romhack anyway, looks much better imo.

Earlier today, I ripped ass so loudly it actually hurt.

"Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together" might actually be the most hilariously jumbled engrish title of any release. Even "Tactics Ogre" on its own is a hilarious mess.

>>3712992
What is the title trying to convey? Should have been called Ogre Tactics?

Those airship levels are great

For example

Pic unrelated?

This game sounds kind of cool and I may give it a try with my new VR setup but it's definitely not /vr/ retro.

>>3712216
tough call, I wouldn't be sure if they could be put in the same bag as rom hacks.

>>3711813
They haven't experienced archaic until they try MoO 1.

The one that triggers me is Fallout 1&2. Those were about the only 2 cRPGs I played as a console kid, let alone completed, and I thought they were super easy to get into and enjoy. But for kids backtracking from the new "Fallout" games they're apparently unplayable.

"UGH THOSE DUMB HIPSTER FAGGOTS THAT GET TRIGGERED BY PEOPLE SAYING A GAME AGED" is something people here say but I agree the OP the majority of the time.
>>3712096
That said Fallout 1 and 2's battles were pretty bad even when the games came out; there are older RPGs with better mechanics in the areas where FO1 and FO2 failed. They're not even really "hard" as much as just a chore. And exploring the wasteland being just a dot on a map with random battles felt boring as hell.

New Vegas is the best of both worlds, the better choose-your-own-adventure elements of the first 2 and the not particularly good but still far better shootan & exploring mechanics of the third.

Never. Subbers died or don't care any more.

>>3711958
at the very least, the episodes on the gamingcx website need to be fixed, some are broke and some are fucked up with half speeds and such

also, i heard there was a sub group working on new subs but that was 2 months ago

>>3711760
Yeah, in game scripting can glitch independently of the cutscene.

>>3711760
I think I've seen that happen. I don't remember if it was on the n64 or while using a gameshark or on an emulator.

In one of the stages of Vigilante 8, I was driving up a hill as Sid Burn and my car spazzed out and was launched literally a thousand feet in the air.
