Convince me not to sell my Dreamcast. Im literally on the verge. I know most games have been ported but there is just something about playing them on the DC. Come on guys, I need to hear reasons for and against keeping it.

The amount of money you'd get for selling it wouldn't be worth it, honestly.

Hey /vr/. I'm not sure where else to post this so I'll just put it here.

I bought a copy of the unlicensed Tengen version of Tetris for NES from Value Village. It looked to be in good condition and they priced it surprisingly cheap ($30), so I thought I might as well pick it up.

Unfortunately I can't seem to get any kind of response out of it. When I put it in my NES I just get a black screen. I have 3 other unlicensed Tengen cartridges and my NES tends to have issues reading them, but by fiddling with the position and pressing the reset button repeatedly they'll all eventually work. With this one, nothing works. At one point I was able to get a flash of some glitchy garbage onscreen but that was it.

I polished the contacts thoroughly but that didn't do anything.

Here are some pictures of the board. Can anyone see anything obviously wrong?

If they can't prove it works, or promise your money back if it doesn't work, why would you agree to pay the going market value for it?

Min/maxing, breaking, Call it what you will, what is your favorite /most easily broken /vr/ game?

For me, this is the obvious choice,

>unlimited limit breaks
>main character guaranteed critical
>best magic available almost instantly
>card mods allow you to create god characters before leaving blame

Any other good ones?

>best magic available almost instantly

That's very far from true. EVEN if you do cards ; you won't get anything anything good until about to leave for Timber ; and even then we're only talking Quake/Water and even then it'd take fucking forever because you need 10 T-Rex cards to get 10 Quake. In other words, you need to win 30 card games to get 3x100 Quake, and that's granted the guy in front of you has a T-Rex card every time, which is NOT the case.

Then, MUCH only later on do you get good magics from card more easily. When your adversaries have more good cards, when you're able to change the rules so that you don't win 1 card each card game, but all the 9 cards of your adversary.

Truly - item drops from battle are overlooked. You can get good magics much more easily and quicker that way by turning those items.
>>
>>3640386

T-Rex drops the dino bone pretty much every time, and is easily carded. I was just feeling from battles until I faced it.

I agree with mugging and refining, though. The main purpose of card is to keep the exp down and make yourself that much more powerful compared to your enemies as you progress through the game.

>>3640341
FF8 is a rhythm game. The better you input Zell's limit break the more damage you do. If you're good you can one-shot everything in the game (unless they have multiple phases).

>taking apart old cartridge/video game for repair or cleaning
>the fucking screws/screw holes strip, making it impossible to take apart
2/3 of my NES games are impossible to open up because they have 1 screw that just spins in place and can't be removed.

What the fuck is this? Why does it keep happening?

Because that's a story you made up. I've never once had a screw break on me, let alone to 2/3 of my games.

Craigslist, the price you should look for is cheap.

What kind of stupid question is this? It's a 30 year old console. Check ebay, Craigslist, Amazon, Offer Up, yard sales, garage sales, thrift stores, video game shops. There's not more to it than that. Get a good deal and make sure it works.

They were born out of a hatred of FE's pacing for babies

>Shining Force’s most obvious inheritance from Silver Ghost is the gochakyara (multiple character) system, whereby the chess-like command of units drove the series’ battle system and satisfied Takahashi’s desire for a truly engaging brand of tactical combat. Daring to mention Intelligent Systems’ (ostensibly) similarly structured Fire Emblem series only earns us a humorous retort: “The original Famicom Fire Emblem game? The tempo of that title was so bad that it wasn’t something I even wanted to play. Fire Emblem had zero influence on Shining Force.” Takahashi continues, “Rather, before participating in the Shining Project I was thinking, ‘I wonder if there’s any way we can take the battles from Dragon Quest and make them more fun?’ Shining Force’s battle system came about as a result of following that line of thinking to its logical conclusion” – evidently with a little help from Silver Ghost.

The Golden Sun games are dreadful, but the Mario Golf/Tennis games are good.

Shing Force games are the best of all time.

First person dungeon crawlers just aren't my thing but I recognize the quality.

Golden Sun was okay but if I have to push another fucking log I'm going to go fucking crazy.

Did they assume everyone playing the game would have watched the movie?

As soon as i reached Atlantis this bitch appeared as a selectable character, there was absolutely no introduction, no cinematic, she was never even mentioned before, she just appears in the game and already knows Milo. This totally broke my immersion.

Is GZDoom the best way to play Doom?

I currently have ZDoom. When I tried GZDoom I couldn't get full screen for some reason.

Similarly, I can't seem to get full screen for Doom 64EX

GZdoom is best for single player,Zandronum is best for multiplayer.

I loved that game as a kid so much.

Are there any emulators I can at least play on it? SNES or anything?

Classic Phantasy Star thread?

Just finished this. I have already beaten 1, 2 and 4 and was planning on skipping this entirely due to the horrible things I've heard about it, but I decided to give it a go. The entire thing felt like some sort of insane fever dream; the world map theme that would add an instrument for each party member, the repetitive battle music that would suddenly shift and speed up once the turn started, and the overall feeling that something was horribly, horribly wrong in the game (outside of the budget).

Was very interesting.

Yeah if it had a good team behind it it would've been a good game. It had some nice ideas but some serious messups.

>>3639052

As much as 4 IS my favorite I always felt that 3 would benefit most from getting a remake.

There's some interesting ideas to be certain but sadly ideas don't mean diddly without execution. On paper it's an epic of epics but in actual practice, notsomuch

>>3639063

Mieu is a cutie but that's pretty feint praise
