Medusa heads are overrated in difficulty, and the holy Water makes the game a cakewalk, but it still packs a decent enough challenge.

Still only average or a bit above for an NES game

I always called Cecil in FF4, See-sil.
In FF4 DS they pronounce it Seh-sil.
I still call him See-sil anyway.

I have no idea how Maribel from Dragon Warrior 7 is pronounced, and it's bothered me for a very long time. Is it pronounced like Marble? Mary-Bell? I could never decide which. Made dialogue involving her name very weird for me.

>>3688380
Heard Too many people pronouncing names wrong.
Merry-o(Mario)
Rye-you(ryu)
Zelda(link)
Fucking bullshit cheap ass character(akuma)

Rye-oo is the official way to pronounce his name. Didn't you ever see the Street Fighter movie?

Ironically they retconned him into being the savior of the world. About time he gets his due.

>>3688362
Why would anyone play this faggot? He was the most boring character from MK1.

>>3688803
Fist to nuts.

Ha ha, I don't know, dude.

>>3688316
Yeah i cant find any info on google about it either.

>>3688296
Yes, and yes

>be 13
>don't have internet
>have to download DOS ZSNES and FF4 at school and bring it home on floppy disk

>>3688165
are you me? my family had Internet on and off for about 4 years before we consistently had it
I discovered emulation during one of the "on" times and ended up getting some stuff on the school's connection

>>3688171
A lot of people did that, dude. Why do you think you were such an special case?

Isn't it funny how when Perfect Dark came out nobody cared that Joanna was a girl and it wasn't a big deal - whereas now we have everybody going absolutely mad about bullshit 'identitarian' politics (stronk independent woman etc) that don't mean shit?

People were actually less sexist when Perfect Dark came out because nobody even thought about it. Now everybody is obsessed with it to the point where these retarded characters are hamfisted into video game plots and feel utterly contrived and unnatural.

2016 is bonkers.

stop giving them attention and shit won't happen
give them attention and it will only get worse

You mean, owning the cabinet? That's too much of a luxury for me, but I still love Neo Geo

>>3687957
I'd love to have the actual cabinet, but the Raspberry Pi surprisingly does a respectable job of it.

Is there anywhere else like the Humble Bundle that is legit and distributing the roms? The ones I picked up through there work perfectly but there are a few key titles like Last Blade 2 that weren't on there and the older versions of them that I've got don't work.

>>3688028
>the older versions of them that I've got don't work.
??
That's weird. Last Blade 2 has been working perfectly on FBA for years. Maybe try a different rom, not sure you can get it legally, but does it matter anyway?…

I played it 5 years ago. Frankly, it's a disgrace to ALttP, but I didn't play it with that fancy black text you have there. I emulated it on the Wii in four separate chapters. Worst 2D Zelda. I'd rather replay Four Swords Anniversary Edition.

The least they could have done is made the bosses harder somehow and not the exact same as ALttP.

>>3687704
LOL! BS Zelda? Like Bull Shit Zelda?!?!? LOL!!!
>Uh no, actually it stands for the Bandai Satellaview, you see back in...

There, now it's out of the way.

I dislike the time limits. I get that they were broadcast with voiced-over narration, but if you're not playing the game exactly how they want you to play it you pretty much get screwed over.

Because Perfect Dark is a stealth game and you are punished for being caught in front of somebody with a big gun.

>>3686965
Go back to bait school senpai

Perfect Dark and Goldeneye both use a pretty sophisticated system for simulating reaction time and aiming in AI. Yeah, you can be one shot, but at no point will you ever turn a corner and get blasted in the face with no chance to fight back, it's literally impossible for that to happen. If you die in these games, it was always your fault.

>>3686892
>Is it possible to just take the guts out of a Super Famicom and put them inside the shell of my PAL SNES?

Nigger
Just keep both as is

>>3686892
Yes this is a great idea.

Pretty good recap of TR1. I'm personally a fan of the PS1 version due to me being a fan of the oldschool checkpoint system and me just having weird luck with PC versions. Also native resolutions tend to hide a lot of graphical flaws.

>constant unskippable animations.

I don't even know what you're talking about and I love the game.

>>3686837
Resident evil and Dino crisis have that animation when you open door etc, you have to wait until that finishes. Also animation with shitty storyline that you dont want to watch even the first time you play.

Tomb raider 3 for example you have to wait a fuckton each time you die.

>>3686839
Oh, door animations never bothered me, they're just suspenseful loading screens. But the gameplay of these games in general are naturally patient and I'm not sure if PC ports will simply skip those.

Daggerfall rocks.

The cities are lively and detailed, NPC's are all unique characters with individual personalities.

There are thousands of towns, and you can easily spend hundreds of years exploring them. They all have a wide variety of shops, temples, guilds, and of course, lots of warm inviting homes.

There are thousands of dungeons, and exploring them is a blast. The combat is fluid, the treasures are quirky and mystifying things like gold jewelry, and cosmetics you won't see in any other RPG. Or, occasionally you'll find a map that leads to a secret dungeon that's more exciting and dangerous than the one you were just in. Huzzah!

Oh, and did someone say "procedural generation?

99% of the game's towns and dungeons are lovingly hand-crafted. Don't expect a drab endless landscape of trees and hills, because you won't find it. The only people who like Morrowind and Oblivion are casuals who can't figure out how to install Daggerfall.

If I wanted to comb randomly generated dungeons for loot, I'd play Nethack, although Nethack only has primitive tile-based graphics.

If I wanted to explore gloomy low-res 3D labyrinths, I'd play Doom or Quake, although those games don't have much story.

If I wanted to roleplay and live out an intriguing story, I'd play Fallout, although Fallout doesn't have fun combat.

If I wanted to experience all the positives and none of the negatives of these three games, I'd play Daggerfall.

There exist at least 2 different daggerfall demos.
I recommend to check them for quite creepy content value

>>3688185
what kind of creepy? the screaming skeletons no longer scare me and nothing else scared me at all.

>>3686545
He isn't that hard to beat even on the hardest difficulty he is indeed kinda cheap though.
I noticed certain teams fair better against him.

So have you ever played a Capcom Vs game before or...?

Arcade fighting game bosses are an excuse to kick the player out of the machine and make sure people keep pumping credits..
