Personally, I never liked it. The art style seemed ridiculous. Should've stuck with Amano's drawings. The whole charm of the game is lost with that awkward chibi 3D. I understand the original sprites were chibi too, but it was the standard for the time because of low res, and the artwork showed how the heroes were supposed to look like. Instead, they went with kiddy 3D (I guess because it's Nintendo platform). These models look awful to me. Also, the 3D is just needless when you keep the top-down view of the original. Why is it there? No one knows. I'd rather have a strict 2D grid like on SNES. Should've stuck with 2D for such a low res, or at least make it good like Dragon Quest Monsters Joker.

Never played the 4 remake, but the 3 remake is an improvement on the original in almost every way. Definitely an easier remake though because the original 4 is better than the original 3.

definitive version of the game as far as I'm concerned

>>3689618
I think some of the textures have hidden pictures in them. I start having schizophrenic episodes playing them due to it.

>>3689720
are you serious? which one gives you that?

>>3689861
All of them. Plus binaural beats in the audio. I can see them looking at me in your image. The illuminated corner holds many faces. Theyre literally everywhere.

>Y does no one like Ys

>mfw I'm the only person on this board who is not a pleb that likes the Ys remakes

>>3689565
I like Ys but I don't know how to pronounce it so I don't ever bring it up.

You're better off emulating on a laptop or desktop pc

>>3689471
Buy a raspberry Pi for half the cost and do the exact same thing

You could do it yourself for less, unless you really want it to look like that. Them yeah, you'd just need a controller and maybe an HDMI cord

Man I used to love playing this game. My first MMORPG. Easily the best PVP in any MMO I've played to date.

:c

Former City of Heroes player here, so IKTFB. Be thankful you had such a good, long run.

If there's one thing that getting a NES flash cart taught me, it's that yes, most of the library is shit.

There are some gems, though.

Propeller Arena is a must.

My ISP might also be massive fucking faggots right now, because after downloading Sonic my whole connection has gone to shit, and 90mb games are taking 10 minutes to download.

IV is a good place to start and really easy to pick up and play.
Hell, I remember playing it while still being in primary school, not really having a clue how half of the shit in the game worked, and still managed to beat it.

It's a simple entry for starters. You get visual feedback and don't have to worry about too many things. 3 is fairly similar.
If you have a lot of RPG experience it may feel too easy in which case 1 might be more appealing.
The games from 6 onward have more complex game systems and movement is no longer restricted to grids so they seem like a larger challenge for absolute beginners.

M&M III is another option, it's comparable to Xeen and probably shorter.

>>3689091
You mean 80 frames? 0.8 isn't bad. If you're even measuring accurately.

>>3689127
Pic is related as far as my method goes. Might be inaccurate as it relies on a human factor.

Are there any other ways to measure which might yield better results?

>>3689307
Well, since it seems as if you're using the 240p test suite you could use the other built in lag checker.

It looks like a third party packaging of shareware Doom. Fact, there are millions of those in the wild. They're worth little more than the 1.44"s they're saved on.

I kept mine because I paid money for them and the box/instructions were pretty cool. They are worthless as no one really uses 3.5" floppies, but they are mine so they do have sentimental value to me. I already own it, and I still downloaded the Underground Gamer torrent of all the Doom stuff, so the physical discs are just there to be a memento.

They appear to be shareware, as in demo copy meant to be freely distributed in hopes to get people to buy (register). Worked well in the early days of baud modems.

I rented this game so many times as a kid because I could never track down a cartridge. I think an SNES sequel that refined and balanced the combat systems could have been truly great. I appreciate the novelty of the game now but don't really find it engaging anymore. But still underrated and very interesting. Deserved that sequel, at least.

But it's always frustrated me that RPG settings get recycled so often when there are so many world religions and folk traditions to steal from.

>But it's always frustrated me that RPG settings get recycled so often when there are so many world religions and folk traditions to steal from.

I agree wholeheartedly. I'm so fucking tired of dwarves, elves, dragons in a vague dark ages Europe.

Give me something new!

Your own dumbass fault for writing you wanted something retro gaming but didn't want something retro gaming.

That hobbies section was for what you DO want

>>3688917
>>3688918

Nope, there was a section of stuff that we write we specifically don't want. It's where I wrote what not to get. That's okay though, I forgot /vr/ is mad gay.
