I got a bunch on the Sega Genesis from when I was a kid and had tons of enthusiasm. now I can't even get past the first level of Raiden without loosing a ship.

Although I'm way out of practice and suck now, I have beaten Outrun a bunch of times.

The only two I can think of right now are Batsugun Special and Operation Wolf.

>>3598884
This too, I have cleared all routes, and pic related is my overall best. Out Run is my all time favorite video game.

>>3598583

I still remember how impressed I was when I first saw the gibbing in Doom.

You don't ever have to grind in Final Fantasy 1 even in the NES version.
Learn to use potions to heal yourself between battles.

Probably the GBA/PSP. And if i were you i'd start with II, which has the most polished plot in the series. Unless you actually prefer gameplay, than jump to V.

I beat the NES games for the first time in 98 or so after playing FFIII and VII. I tried FFI again in 2011 and couldn't stand it. A year or so later I played it on PSP and beat it again.

For me the PSP version was good enough to get me playing. Guessing any version that is based on that port would be the same deal.

Atari is still around and likely own the rights. It's nice to see another Hard Drivin fan it's a shame that MAME doesn't support modern torque feedback wheel controllers. Have you played pic related? I believe it's the best collection you can get for console but it's Japanese only and released after shit like Gran Turismo so it stayed pretty obscure. I didn't even know it existed until I bought it in a lot with Runabout 1 & 2.

>>3598241
>Atari is still around
They're not. Infogrames bought the rights to their name.

>>3598241
Ive never played it no. Never heard of it even. But I am definitely going to check it out, thanks!

You tell me.

Sometimes going fast isn't enough. You need to go FASTER.

I'll never get why the sonic fandom is so weird. I guess it's because I'm too old and never got into Sonic after the 16-bit titles.

I think there was a spell to make it rain in Tactics Ogre :LUCT, but it's only useful if you use a whole team with water element.

Shenmue. Mostly static, but can be altered in options

>Somone on /vr/ other than me mentions Budokan

This is a momentous occasion! Budokan is a strange and wonderful game. I wish there was an offshoot of fighters that took it's ideas and kept working with them.

Wasn't this just Karateka? Awesome game on 8 bit computers, strange and wonderful on 7800 and Famicom... Wasn't it kind of dated by Genesis?

>>3596352
No Karateka is almost like a primitive beat em up. Budokan is a very different game and much closer to what we think of as fighters now.

Also still very worth playing. It's got a very unique control style. Get a rom and give it a go.

2 is bad because the weapon balance is godawful. The Items are executed somewhat interestingly, in that the order you do stages can affect how you tackle platforming problems on stages, such as Crash Man.

>>3595574
The only stage I'd call bullshit on as far as platforming goes is Heat Man, because fuck those timed blocks. Otherwise, 2 on hard felt like about the right amount of difficulty barring the bosses.

My personal favorite is X4, if only because Zero's ability to unlock moves instead of changing weapons felt really fun and was useful throughout a stage, as opposed to X getting another elemental shot of some sort that fucked up a boss.

>>3594202
No. I don't. I have a fear of deep water from almost drowning when I was a child and it has transferred to video games. Stuff like SMB is fine, but the more realistic it becomes the more cringe inducing it becomes for me. Not retro but the Leviathan DLC for Mass Effect was difficult for me to complete because of the deep diving.

>>3594202

i find the water levels in this game and especially lost levels to be the hardest. hitting a ceiling bounces mario down really far and it can fuck you up. and the movement patterns of those bloopers are rather hard to avoid.

>>3594202
No, they all ruin the momentum/pacing of the game and change the way movement works for at most, a level or two. They serve no purpose other than to annoy and break "rhythm."

>>3593763

you just have shitty taste.

>>3593763
played it but never owned it.
seems slower, handles not like the original nes 3
grew up with mario 1, 2 and 3 ... just seemed off compared to those 3 games

>>3593763
The massive, noticeable reduction in difficulty is what probably turned you off, judging by your criteria OP.

It's still a great game in it's own right though. If it really doesn't suit your fancy, I highly recommend Super Mario All-Stars.

>>3593708
Please, tell me more what you think about it, personal thoughts and opinions, rtc.
Its fun to see someone new to the topic describe with passion something that you knew for some time. Its refreshing, seeing it for the first time by proxy of newguys eyes.

>>3593714

I guess it's really refreshing for a game to have big uninterrupted chunks of great gameplay. No dialogue, no AI allies to worry about, no cinematic cutscenes other than the mission briefs or whatever. I feel like each level takes me about a couple of hours to complete. Its great to just get lost in a game and let time fly by. The guns, the health pickups, the powerups etc. It all feels so solid. It feels like a real GAME. I feel like regenerating health and other gimmicks really killed this genre.

>>3593708
Call of duty

>>3593101
You already own one, OP. It's called your PC. Now go find yourself an emulator.

>>3593101
You for realsies? Craisgslist, pawn shops, or a yard sale are your best bets for getting a 2600.

Google ones in your area.

why are you posting a timestamp with something that's literally so common they filled a landfill with it.
