This game was better than Super Mario World.

Well, it has nice cover art.

I remember a beach level, and controlling the camera to pan over a large maze with an octopus in the center.

In as much as they cater to retro games, sure.

Do they make business decisions that drive me nuts? Yeah, but we're not exactly swimming in a lot of good options.

The problem with GOG is a lot of the games still feel like they're asking for too high of a price.

I've never paid full price for a game on GOG. They constantly have some kind of sale going, and if you wait long enough, everything goes 75% off eventually.

You're in for monotony.

>>3599385
This.
Only die-hard persona fans defend it nowadays really and they're really blinded.

The battle system is a bit clunky but there's quite a bit of depth. However the depth is meaningless because the game is absurdly easy. You don't even need to recruit demons, the handouts you're given are enough to carry you through the game (especially considering that they randomly become stronger if you spam fusion attacks).

I guess the only advice I'd give is to get a demon with the escape spell (trafuri?) because there will be a ton of random battles.

That being said, it's still better than 99.5% of other JRPGs.

Feelies were the bomb. I seriously think GOG should mail you some cool shit when you buy games at full price.

That was pretty cool. Gaming manuals and maps and shit were so great back then. They often fleshed-out the gameworld in ways the devs couldn't do in the actual game.

A lost art

Games these days don't even come with manuals half the time anymore.

Good lad.

I forgot, is this the NINTENDO SIXTY-FOUR?

Why wasn't it called Famicom 64 in slantyeyeland?

Screenshot them. If you're using an emulator, you can pause emulation at the right moment/frame. (And since Quarantine was relased on DOS, you could use DosBox to do that). Similarly, DosBox has a dedicated screenshot key.
This is literally it. People ripping sprites additionally proceed to put their screenshots into photo editors, and then remove background pixel by pixel. Which is why you see all these 'please credit me if used!' on old spritesheets - because it takes some work.
As for ripping sound, I have no idea - I imagine it'd be possible to e.g. disable music and put audio output to a recording device, or something like that - or perhaps scour raw game data for actual audio files. I'd imagine specific techniques would vary depending on what's easier for each platform.

>>3607929
If that's the case then how do people find and rip unused sprite animations?

>>3607929
I'm guessing this raw data scouring is the exact thing that i'm looking for. I mean, if those graphics are as images, guess there should be a way to pick them up from the data?

>>3607769
They did.

They didn't need to. They had 3rd party developer support back then. Not like now where if it weren't for 1st party nintendo games there would be no nintendo games.

Other people find video games interesting too anon, even girls!

>less known ones
That's tough.
I do recommend Breath of Fire 3 and IV. 3 still remains my favorite adventure in an RPG and IV has my favorite presentation on top of looking great.

>>3606936
I'm not sure I would qualify any of these as lesser-known, but they're worth playing in any case:

Valkyrie Profile
Star Ocean 2
Vagrant Story
Parasite Eve

The King's Field games and Shadow Tower are pretty good as well, but I'm not sure how playable they would be on the Vita due to the control scheme.

>Legend of Dragoon
That game is shit. You'll probably love Suikoden 2.

Sources are lost so no porting and emulation of those consoles isn't strong enough for commercial release - especially on other consoles.

>>3606178
What about in Japan?

It's much easier to port a simpler game.
Also, early 3D titles (3DO, PSX, Saturn) were built with specific system-hacks in mind.
Hell, a better example: most of the SNES games that are ported or re-released in collections don't have Mode 7 (which is a "SNES-specific" effect). For example, Megaman 7 used Mode 7 (in the credits scene), but the re-release didn't emulate this effect.

Your not a shmup player and you can do R-Type in a single run. What version of R-type?

Try Image Fight, also made by IREM (R-Type).
You will be in for a challenge but because you can clear R-Type it wont be a problem for you.
