Is there any rhyme or reason to these fucking fish? I just can't discern any kind of pattern to them, which makes avoiding them extremely difficult.

in SMB 1, they didn't seem to have a pattern either, but you could beat those levels by just going through them as fast as possible. Not so with this level (Awesome).

You pass a spawner and then RNG takes over. Each fis has a set function for trajectory influenced by gravity obviously (PHYSICS!) but the X coordinate where the next fish will appear realitive to Mario's x is then given over to RNG as is the max height.

If you weren't playing on an emulator with 10 frames of input lag, you could dodge them by simply reacting to them.

Hello /vr/, i'm currently deciding on a front-end to use for the emulators that I have on my computer. I'm torn between retroarch, emulation station, and maximus arcade. I was wondering what the perks for each are and the best one to get. Also feel free to share your setups or recommend other front-ends that i'm not aware of.

Like, literally why did I never think of this before. Some centralised way to keep track of emulator settings and shit. Automate taking the hassle out of emulation!

Can someone aware of Sega in these periods tell me wether the Saturn was a flop or actually pretty good? Some tell me it was amazing and had amazing games, others tell me it flopped and got fucked in the ass by PS1's and N64's competence.

It wasn't great in Japan, flopped in America due to a number of factors, part of which was the Sega of America president at the time not wanting to localize any 2D games.

>>3601247
Wasn't Sony the one against 2D?
>>
>>3601245
It was very popular in Japan from 1994 to 1998 (Dreamcast came out in 98 there), toe to toe with the Playstation and beating the N64.

Almost completely unknown in America due to high price, awful shit advertisement, too few games, crap 3d graphics, and no stores actually carrying the console. Some parents flat out refused to buy the console because of Sega shafting them beforehand by coming up with a new console every year.

It was semi-popular in Europe (especially in the UK) up until early 1997 when it started dying off due to lack of new games.

Just found this fucking awesome game, I used to play Ikari Warriors on my dad's old computer when I was a kid and this is a great find. But when my wife and I were playing only the 2nd player could continue? Is this a glitch?

I'm glad someone else loves this game.

It was the first video game I ever played and it took me years to find it again. It's not a glitch on your end, by the way: in 2P the infinite continues are wonky at times.
>>

Oh it seems I had to hit A+B at both times? It was weird, only 2nd player would respawn..

Isn't it A,B,B,A to continue in a 2 player game?

Thoughts on early 3D graphics? Basically, do you prefer texture filters of the N64 or no texture filters from the PS1?

Which is more aesthetically appealing to you?

>>3597970
I'm fine with both as long as the game doesn't look bad. I had both systems back in the day, I remember how it was and the two types of graphics never bothered me.
>>
>>3597972
What is the biggest factor that can make a game from that era look good or bad?
>>
>>3597979
Hmmm, never thought about that, but if I had to say, I guess geometry since this is about 3D graphics.

In my opinion, these three consoles had the best game library out of all consoles considered retro on this board. They represent the best of 2D gaming. Does vr agree? And if not, what would you chose?

Best of 2D gaming should be PC88, PC98 and Windows 9x.

I don't care for the genesis. What am I gonna play on it, for real? Gunstar Heroes? lol.

Don't even try to say Sonic. Those games suck. Sonic is a boring game that tricks kids into playing a terrible obstacle course.

Every time I see someone talking about a Genesis, it's to say shit like Mortal Kombat and Aladdin are better on it. Who cares? If you aren't playing Mortal Kombat on arcade hardware, you're a moron.

You could play splatterhouse or punisher or all those phantasy stars or u can play some shining or shinobi or some streets of rage or mega bomberman or some madden or mutant league or rocket knight or ghosts n goblins or castlevania bloodlines but those are all some adult games. Sorry if they aren't as extreme as Mario.

What keyboard do you use to play retro games?
I only have cheap shit right now and am looking for something better.
Is the Model M good or are there alternatives?
Is PS/2 better than USB?

There are lots of other mechanical keyboards out there, Model M is my favourite though

Yes

I use a logitech slim keyboard because size., not because of gaming reasons. Smaller keyboards help me type faster.

Might get a USB numpad just for roguelikes and pinball.

For keyboard input? Strictly.

In the Japanese Spyro games the camera is always in the sky looking down at Spyro.
He is also very slow, to compensate for the lack of visibility I suppose.

For what purpose? Why would this camera angle be better for Japanese people?
