>What ultimately killed Sega?

Long story short: literally themselves.

>>3613410
Years after years of poor decisions

Shenmue had nothing to do with it. The DC just wasn't making enough money on hardware sales. They had a hard time getting people to trust them with how poorly the Saturn was handled in the west. The combined competition of three other major consoles didn't help either.

1 is one of the most groundbreaking games.
2 and 3 are practically addons as they originally required importing a party. They add nothing beyond extra dungeons and monsters and a few twists here and there.
4 is kind of an insult to people asking for a bigger challenge. They minutely planned the game to be just barely beatable by experienced players. Also interesting as an inversion of the normal formula since you play as a villain encountering groups of heroes.
5 was the first real attempt at progressing the series. Some aspects were rebalanced and extras such as NPCs added.
6 took things fruther. The game system was remade from scratch with more races and classes and focus on skills. The town was removed and the world is a single connected piece instead of separate dungeon floors.
7 continued the story from 6 and gave you a planet to explore with less linearity than the previous games.
8 is the culmination of the previous two games.

Japanese versions are superior for the first 6 games.
I would generally recommend stating with 5, either on the FM Towns or PS1, since it serves as a bridge between 1 and 6 and is somewhat less frustrating.
After that you can go to 1 or 6 depending on what style you want. Play 2 and 3 if you crave for more and 4 if you feel like you're up for it (which you probably won't).
6-7-8 should be played in order but you don't have to play each until the bitter end.

get the PS2 wizardry its the best one imo.

>>3613370
Play 1 and 2 on NES or the better version on GBC. Mapping is easier and some of the prices for spells early on are cheaper I think in the GBC version.
3 sucks ass because you have to keep using characters of different alignments (good, neutral, evil) I think to progress and it got boring.
4 is evil. It's pure unadulterated evil. See this long play: -

5 on the SNES is doable with some help. I found it brutally hard but okay.
6 and 7 I can't speak
8 is fantastic with only a few hiccups. There is one or two story elements I hate, and you can't keep skills if you change classes, but past that it's pretty damn good.
The PS2 version like >>3613424 said is great. I found some grinding needs with it, but it has replay value to get all story plots down. There are some interface irritations, but besides that it's pretty good and worth a shot.

I remember using that for the mystery gif on Pokemon Gold with friends.
Too bad the battery died and I lost everything.

>>3613228
whats that infrared?

>>3613229

I remember using it for this, too.

And nothing else ever again.

Retro isn't about age and dates. It's about style and tone. Nothing that isn't retro now will magically become so just because a calendar changes over.

Says who

Retro is literally defined as 15 years
Vintage is like 15-25
Antique is like 50 and over

>>3612915
>Retro
>Styles relating to the recent past

>>3612864
SH1 is from 1999, so you won't find retro SH clones.

X-Files Resist or Serve on PS2 is very SH like.

>>3612864
Shenmue.

Fuck if I know, but we can check and ask. Sounds good, though. We'll just break out the chiptunes together.

I want the MMX proto with white city. whites only.

>>3612474

I'd love to see that as well, but I wouldn't hold my breath. SNES X-series prototypes seem to be quite rare, especially considering this version of X3 took 20 years to reach the internet and there seem to be very little documentation of the physical prototype carts to begin with, but who knows.

How do they even get their hands on shit like this

Giana sisters DS is best giana sisters

No it's not, it's pretty mediocre.

>>3612016
Kinda interesting that a blatant ripoff went on to become its own respectable franchise.

>>3611924
I think some people find the monochrome of the original better serves the game's dreamlike quality. You can't go wrong with either version.

The DX version is fine. Personally, I like the color option better than 4 shades of grey.

The screen warp glitch in the original version adds replay value I guess.

You want a late model non-flat Trinitron with component and S-video inputs and you want to familiarize yourself with the service menu

Because that's 98% of the way to being a PVM

Bought a HUGE trinitron off craigslist but despite by best efforts it fell over in the back of my car and no longer works :( Trash it or try to fix it?
