How the FUCK could you forget Sam & Max and Discworld?

Played gabriel knight remake recently. Fuck that game sucked, plot was straight up one of those shitty kiosk novels made by and for depressed housewives

>>3633939
Sorry, your right! Discworld was awesome. That little jester that kept says "chuckie chuckie chuckie" made me die laughing. I've never tried sam and max. Im not trying to name drop or anything, just giving examples of games. Don't know or remember them all. Of all point and click games tho, which one in particular would you say is the best or worth my time first? Or can you give me an order of like 5 games or so

>>3633914
Other then the wonky physics, love the games.

Marathon needs a better source port than Aleph One.

Resident Evil 3 Nemesis is best Resident Evil game

I often think to myself you know, I'd be like meh whatever if I died soon

2 is the best.

But I like 1 and 3 as well. Code Veronica is not a good videogame.

If I had to venture a guess, Turok.

Play it and find out dumby

Because most Atari games had a defined ruleset and a clear objective. Nobody knew what the fuck you were supposed to do in ET.

In any case, to answer your retarded question, it was mostly because millions of normies who never played a home console game before bought ET because it's ET and it were shocked when it wasn't the same quality as the arcade games they were used to.

No, it's not a meme. E.T. is a legitimate contender for the worst video game ever made, and is solely responsible for the North American video game market crash in 1983.

Just look up the gameplay on YouTube.

>>3633292

It's called a "manual".
Back then in the box there was a little book giving the story and explaining the objective and controls. I know, weird, right?

>>3633281
>Baby's first niche dev

Meh. Their "best" is Bangai-O. Worst is Ikaruga by far.

>>3633281
Best is their first; Gunstar Heroes.

Everything else was downhill.

Mother 1 takes place in America, while Mother 2/EB takes place in various continents of the world, mainly Eagleland (which is evidently a representation of USA).
So, if Eagleland is America, what happened to Mother 1's America?

>>3632981
>>3632984
this >>3633090 is what i meant. i want to know what happened to Mother 1's America, if Eagleland exists, especially as giygas is in both games.

are they in the same area, but different countries?

>>3632960
WHAT THE FUCK??? You paid that much for a shitty NES puzzle game? The fuck is wrong with you?

>>3632960
Got a Sega Genesis with six games for $32 and then proceeded to go batshit with some extra games. Not terribly bad though, since a ot of them were dirt cheap.

I got:

>Toki: Going Ape Spit for $6
>Vector Man 1 and 2 for $10
>Comix Zone for $15
>Sonic & Knuckles for $10
>Sonic The Hedgehog for $7
>Sonic 2 for $3
>Sonic 3 for $14
>Ristar for $33
>Dynamite Headdy for $19
>Decap Attack for $13

I'mma have me a pretty sweet Christmas, that is assuming they all actually work.

>>3632997
>Ristar
>Dynamite Headdy
My fucking boy. Fantastic games. I hope you enjoy them.

>>3632482
No, loads came after that.
Dont believe every meme youtube "celebs" tell you.

Yes, it is true that after Donkey Kong 64 there was never a 3D platformer ever developed again ever.

No, wait, OP is just retarded.

It might've gone too far with the collecting, but it didn't have an ET effect.

The big devs in 3D platformers just got kind of tired of the genre for a while was all, and they made different games using different tech.

>>3632378

The wipe out series on Playstation have good electronica soundtracks.

It doesn't get much better than Rez

>>3632397
why would you spell it with a space
its WIPEOUT

Bump. Id like to know the answer to this too

may get better results with an original xbox running coinops.

That s-video connector is just a connector. It's the signal that matters. These cards output minimum 31Khz, and usually a higher minimum of 60Khz. If you can find a modern video card with s-video out that can output at 15Khz, then go for it. But unless you get a video card specifically made to output to consumer TVs or arcade monitors, it ain't gonna happen. If you want to go PC to CRT TV, then you really need to go RGB. Anything else would just require another converter/adapter.

Any of the main series Nintendo games are a good bet. Aladdin is a pretty okay platformer. Fzero is a great racing game.

A fucking lot of them OP. What kind of genre are you into?

>shitty genre

cool opinion, chap

>>3631093
Allows more than one side of a building to be seen.

>>3631093
>>3631093
It looks interesting and you can show two sides of square structures instead of just 1. Just play the game for a little while, you'll get used to it and Landstalker rocks so it's well worth getting over the learning curve.

>>3631093
>whats the actual advantage of isometric view
it's just a nice change
>in platforming heavy games
kinda shitty in those tho

>>3631065
Hm.
Is there anything else you can remember about it?
Anything at all?
Even the most insignificant thing could help find it.
>upgrade parts
what kind of parts?
>little circle golden ship
is that only ship you can fly? Could you sketch it in paint?

Was there any goal to the game? Any story?
Every bit of info helps.

Starflight
Solar Winds
Star Control II

Only games that come to mind are Wazzal and Flatspace, but none of them really fit the description.


Im also looking for a game similar to OP.
Cant remember much of it, sadly.
All I know for certain, is that you piloted spaceship in top-down view. You shoot other spaceships. I vaguely remember being able to jump between sectors of some kind? Gameplay more or less sandbox. Ships really colorful, lots of reds, greens blues and yellows on those enemy ships in my memory.
The thing I remember most and that might help separate that game from dozens others like it is that ships were made from segments, and you could destroy those segments separately. Same was the case for your ship.
Even big ships could be reduced to tiny little core.
Played in on Windows circa 2000.
