Scanlines are a bullshit perception of CRTs anyway. I've seen plenty of CRTs move through my household over my life and not a single one of them had 'em.

That's because they are mostly blended on consumer CRTs. They're only as thick as they are on PVMs and other such CRTs.

I never realized that Onett is essentially cut off from the rest of the world. At least Twoson, Threed, and Fourside are all connected by a road.

Your favorite game, instead of how it currently exists, was instead released as a SuperFX game on SNES in 1994 in all of its basic untextured polygonal glory

How is it

Hey /vr/ I'm interested in picking up a sega console since I've never owned one before and am trying to decide between the Saturn and the Dreamcast. Money isn't that big of an issue and I'm leaning towards the Saturn just because it has more RPGs and 2d platformers, however not having access to Sakura Taisen 3 and 4 hurts. Which console would you recommend and why? Sell me on your favorite /vr/

Not like either are expensive but buy both. They're worth it.

I meant that more for games, though I guess each does have a few pricey games. Overall neither really seems all that bad price wise. I have other consoles I buy games for so I don't want to have to buy for both right off the bat and I don't feel like killing my laser with burnt copies.

Killing the laser with burned discs is a meme. I've never seen any actual evidence that they wear out lasers more than regular games. The quality of CD's now is so much better than in the 90's and early 2000's that burnt disks should prolong the life of your laser if anything.

I can't comment as I haven't played Saturn much but Dreamcast is great, especially if you have friends.

Let's talk about Darkstalkers (aka Vampire), and also any other VR that has Halloween aesthetics.

I love how smooth and detailed the animation is in this game, and also love how Japanese games incorporate Western horror elements into their overall aesthetic -- game series like Castlevania, Disgaea and Resident Evil are some of my favorites. Post pictures and talk about all the spooky stuff, especially examples in otherwise non-spooky games.

One difference between Japan and Western occult beliefs is that the 'witching hour' occurs at dusk instead of midnight. You'll notice in some Yoshi's Island stages that Shy Guys and other spooky creatures come out at dusk. I'd assume this trope happens in some other games too.

in a way Im kind of glad the series died, I really would HATE to see it get that shitty 3d model treatment that SF got.

It is pretty good, having usb makes it very versatile in controller support and it has a higher resolution output than something like the wii.

I'd say just get an old dell, by the time you can all the adapters and parts for the Pi (unless you already have them) it'll end up costing $60+ depending on what you want to do.

I only just barely played the Genesis version, Warsong. I may try it on the Saturn in Japanese if I can find a cheap copy and a guide with the menu translations.

Hello /vr/, first time posting on this board !
I'm desperately trying to find two PC games I used to play when I was a kid. Could you help me ? Even the narrowest clue could help me.
I think they ran on Windows 98, but they could have been released earlier. They weren't big games, maybe even not "good" games, since my standards were lower back then.

In the first game, there was a bunch of chicken on the screen, inside fences, moving both horizontally and vertically (since the view was top-down).
The aim of the game, if there was one, was (as far as I remember) to simply kill the chickens (but you could also add more, to double the fun). To this end, you had a bunch of weapons, from gun to atomic bomb. There was also a "weapon" which did nothing else than capture chickens in bubbles which then raised them until the bubble popped and the chicken went back to meet the ground in a pleasant sound of spurting viscera and blood.
Yes I was a kid, and yes it amused me... A lot.

The second game was a platform game. The character was a simple round blue guy with two round feet. He looks like picture related. I think the first level (I didn't really get further) took place in a nuclear plant, since there was some kind of green radioactive goo under the platform and barrels with the yellow radioactive logo on it.

If any of these two descriptions tells you anything, don't hesitate to speak ! A link would of course be welcome, but I try to not have that kind of expectations.

I really hope to find them one day, it's been years since I've started to look !

Thanks /vr/ !
