Playing real games makes babies out of men.

How.
Start from 1-1 when you die. Always.

Why is that?

Fuck back off to your home board.

I would think finding the device drivers for a 3 inch floppy dick drive for WinXP would be the bigger challenge, unless you're dual booting to native DOS/actual retro OS.

You're trying to use the PATA connector.

A 2001 vintage PC is more likely than not going to have a 3.5" diskette drive installed. Just plug your floppy drive into that cable instead.

Pic obviously unrelated.

Sadly, Galloping Ghosts only has After Burner 2

They had this at my local arcade, but not this one where the whole damn thing moves. I can't imagine doing maintenance on this beast. I bet it was the kind of thing that was down 90% of the time.

>>3646230
Finding one now in working condition that you can go and actually play is basically impossible.

>>3646214
So like the idea of second loop for other genres?

>>3646235
Sure, why not?

>>3646280
There's nothing wrong with it, they do exist here and there. Second loops and third loops in shmup games and Nightmare & Hell difficulties in Diablo games.

meh

>can we all agree
no

If that was a boy... My dick would be rock solid.

They were just covering their asses. They knew westerners were crazy people who got offended for weird things such as religions and sex, so they edited it out.

Most of these censorships weren't even ordered by NoA, the japanese companies themselves (in this case, Konami) would alter some sprites on the western versions of the games to avoid any problem later.

>>3646159
What was the point if they weren't going to actually censor the cross?

>"Clinics" in Final Fantasy

This one doesn't fit the timeframe, but
>"Crazy" Wario, which for some reason became the norm in Wario Land 3

>>3646159
Don't they still engage in censorship?

I have played through JP and RE for Genesis dozens and dozens of times each, but only ever once with Grant. My version of the game doesn't have non-lethal attacks.

>My version of the game doesn't have non-lethal attacks.
Do you have some kind of hacked pirate copy or something? All the weapons just put the dinos to sleep. It's a neat touch and jives with the movie, I can't see Grant mowing down all the park's residents with a machine gun or something.

Now Trespasser it's open season (pun intended) on all fucking reptiles.

I was saying that because I always play with the raptor....

I feel the opposite. Was a sad day when shitty blocky 3D overtook beautiful sprite work.

yes, reaching a cutscene felt rewarding back then

yea OP, old low poly stuff feels super comfy for some reason. Maybe it's just because it hearkens back to a more carefree time.

90s VR Arcade system Virtuality. Running first on Amiga or and moving to Intel based systems in it's second and final version.

No. No it wasn't - not the software and environments. The interfaces were cool though. I haven't seen anyone using a modern Oculus type visor walking around on one of those giant trackballs.

There's literally nothing to compare since the technology is still in its infancy. There's still room for improvement.

>Jagger and Lions

Dont know what that means, but JA2 is one of the best games of my life.

>>3644726
loaded it onto my x220 so I can play it on holiday

>>3644726
It was fun before I started memorizing AI spawn points and waypoints and could clean maps by shooting certain empty spots behind the trees. Also I always tend to get dragged into logistics, getting 100% repaired staff for entire squad, different ammo loadouts, stimulants etc.

>>3644624

I like to build a narrow hallway and fill it with all sorts of nasty traps, then knock out the far wall and let the heroes try to make it through my gauntlet of death only to run into the biggest and strongest monsters I can summon at the end of it.

>>3644635
Anny gameplay screan shots/videos of this ?

>they get killed

I registered Halloween Harry, but never got any updates. I really like its music, and the original release did include a dedicated music player exe.

Raptor was okay, but I liked other shooting games more at that time. Even on the PC, everyone knew about Tyrian. However Raptor did have Wing COmmander-like cinematics which I thought were nice.

Blake Stone added ceilings and floor textures to the Wolf3D engine which is pretty cool. Yet, I'll just give Apogee credit for pointing me to call id directly as they will not publish the upcoming Doom (the few beta images were enough to convince me) as they did for Wolfenstein 3D.


Sorry, I threw away my Halloween Harry discs as they did not mail me a sweet box like Doom did. I think I saw a retail box for the game under a different name though in those bargain shelves of <discontinued department store>, K-mart, and Walmart. So, posting old not-Apogee pic instead.

>>3643983
To be honest, my biggest thrill is just to reminisce by listening to their intro music.

All the Sega Channel games, because I didn't buy the add-on.

>>3643919

Final Fantasy V, also not released in America.

>>3643919
Probably one of the best SNES games ever and one of the greatest action RPGs ever made.

It never gets talked about though because Ameritards never got to play it, so it doesn't trigger 'muh nostalgia' the same way something like Chrono Trigger does.

Thank god emulation and Dracula X Chronicles came out to prove me wrong.

I subbed to PSM for years. Looking back it was kind of a rag but it was fun
