Why did you have to hold the reset button before powering off a NES for data to be properly saved?

RAM mechanics I suppose.

It prevented a potential short circuit, I think, which would wipe your battery save

It help prevent voltage spikes to the cartage that could wipe the battery backup memory.

The NES originally was never designed to be electronically safe for battery backups, it was something added to game carts a few years later.

This game is criminally underrated.
It's the beautiful flawed bastard blend of baldur's gate and the original diablo. It's crueler to the player and the characters than either one.

Don't use the totally broken skills and the difficulty curve is solid.


Absolutely a must play.

this game in particular was buggy as hell at launch.
The wizards at GoG have done their best but I still get loads of freezes. Luckily the game lets you make game ruining gameplay mistakes every twenty minutes so you're already spamming quicksave

Ah, I'm just asking for Wiz 8.

So do we have the numbers relating to weapon weight and their swing penalties? I've read some posts that says the heavier your weapon, the less swings you get. No sources or numbers, though.

Kinda odd that Wiz 8 doesn't have much sources on the internet about its mechanics.

Overlays are gross to be honest. I also have no idea why anyone would add a filter to have those black borders when I spend 30 minutes adjusting my CRT monitor to diminish that effect.

What were they thinking? Literally the most unintuitive gimmick level in classic Contra. It even looks like shit.

You might have cognitive problems.
>>
>>3601942
Yeah it is when you're looking at your guy from above. Compared to for example turning with the d-pad (like in any sensibly designed top-down shooter) and maybe using the shoulder buttons to lock your aim in one direction and sidestep. They already got it right in Super C.

It was pretty impressive for its day. Maybe it's a problem if you're playing shared screen co-op (can't remember if it was Mode A or B), but I never had an issue in single-player or split-screen co-op.

Remake is apparently happening?

With toothpaste. Alternatively, use a backup disc.

No. You can go to a video shop if you want it cleaned, but toothpaste works fine.

Any reason to bother with an Everdrive N8 over just emulating in 240p via Wii? I went the flashcart route with SNES and Genesis/MD, but that's because both of those consoles natively support RGB. Why bother with a $100 cart for an NES when I need to spend $100 to RGB mod it as well, when I can get YpBpR quality output with (if I'm to be believed) more or less cycle accurate emulation via Wii?

Anything I'm not seeing?

NES VC is kinda dark and muddy, even in 240p.

>Unlike knockoffs and clones, the Mega Drive Limited Edition is officially licensed from Sega. While the audio/video performance specs aren’t beefed up over those of the original in any way, the Mega Drive Limited Edition does come with 22 games, including Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Shinobi 3, and Arrow Flash, preloaded into its internal memory. There’s also a Micro SD slot for playing stored ROMs plus the good old cartridge slot.

Seems like a convenient way to play Mega Drive games, although it's kind of expensive imo. My Model 1 Genesis was around US$20.

Fuck me, I confused composite with component.

A record, a favourite sequence, a glitch, whatever you want.

>Fight
>Pick up Brad's wallet
>enter police station

That's how it's done.

Seriously though, this fight is actually the hardest Nemesis fight in the entire game. All you have is the shotgun and the basic handgun, AND the shotgun is absolute shit against him, its the huge down time after a shot means you're very likely to get hit.

Plus, there aren't many herbs at this point of the game yet.

So the best solution is to use the handgun and be patient. Stay at a mid range distance, shoot 2-3 bulelts, run a little to stay at mid range distance and repeat.
If you do it well he'll never rush towards you, but if he does, dodge by turning in the direction of his "non hitting arm".

>>3599906
By which he means his right arm.
