oioiois

hello everyone it is mees again. If you dont know me I am a Brazilian who shares secrets of video games with you 4chan the retro gamers.

In the past I covered Mario 2, SMB, and Final fantasy secrets. Today I give you secret of Contra.

Contras was hard game. lots of shooty things trying to kill you. You die in 1 hitz!!!oneoneone

Very few people can beat Contras. However, I know secrets nobody nows that I share with you. When designing the game to test level developers made a code for extra lives.

During game on controller you play game on you presses buttons in this orders: UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, B, A, START

You get th30ty lives! and you can use more than once. Try it komrades it makes beating the contra easiest.

Love to you all

Played it for the first time a couple months back. I like it. More style over substance but it's overall great. I r8 8/10.

>More style over substance but it's overall great.

It has plenty of substance too. Note that your robot is powered by light, and on some levels that means you need to find alternate ways of recharging your power.

Like on Stage 2 you need to blast holes in the ceiling to let the light in, on Stage 3 you have to fly out of the forest for a quick recharge, on Stage 4 you can only recharge near the windows where the light is turned on, or on Stage 5 you can only recharge on the reflector lights... which will set off the intruder alert and you'll be attacked in large numbers (so you have to dodge the light beams for most of the level).

And I bet you haven't even found the mega laser or the shield special weapons.

What you emulating? Tell me about it.

Also, I just set up a emulation channel on IRC. You are welcome to join to talk about emulators or retro games in general or just hang out or help with the newborn channel.

I'm thinking of playing Langrisser IV or Panzer Dragoon Saga on SSF. The only Saturn game I've emulated was Shining Force III and I occasionally had the game freeze and lost my progress (even if I had saved earlier in the session, it was lost when I restarted the emulator). Is this a common problem? What can I do to avoid this issue?
>>
Never played any Dragon Quest game, so I'm powering through them in order. Currently emulating SNES DQIII and holy fuck do I love it. I might replay it for GBC in the near future because I'm a sucker for a good Gameboy RPG.

I've been on an RPG Kick lately. I replayed FFI-VI in order and enjoyed seeing the progress the series made over time, and I'm starting to get that with DQ now.

I'm really starting to want flash carts for all my original hardware now.

Which game is the best?

Why are the fighter portraits so retarded looking in Street Fighter Alpha 3?

This is not a Saturn v. Playstation thread. The arcade versions are the best. Take that shit to every other thread on /vr right now.

A friend gifted me alpha 3 a few daya ago and I only got a chancr to play it yesterday. Man I am terrible and no idra of how to figure out what combos into each other. Seems like a lot of fun.

Alpha 2 a best

Akuma all the way

>>3587719
This series was beautiful. I prefer those simplier and yet charming sprites to the more detailed ones from III.
Dan is my jam and, while 2 is superior, 3 will forever be my favourite. Alpha 3 MAX and SFA Anthology are the shit.

Hey /vr/ I'm planning on traveling a lot and I want to bring some vidya with me, what are the most comfy emulation/vidya options for me? I only want to bring one device with me, as I don't have a lot of packing space. Should I emulate on an android phone and get a game pad like the moga, or should I get a hacked psp? How does android emulation compare to psp, is one better than the other? How about newer handhelds like 3ds and vita, has anything topped the options that psp has?

I'm currently rocking a ds lite with a super card ds two but I'm looking for something with more power.

If you have the options, a 3ds can become one of the best portible emulator boxes out there. Through modding, you can inject your own roms into nintendo's VC for NES/GB/GBC/GBA/Game Gear as well as SNES if you have the "new" version. And if you don't like injections, homebrew apps exist like retroarch. Heck, with retroarch on a n3ds, they starting getting ps1 emulation to work.
>>
You're saying you aren't going to bring an Android phone and/or a laptop with you anyway?
>>
>>3587710
Also, you can get your ds flashcart to work on the 3ds as well.

I remember the reviews being consistently scathing.

They looked decent, but the Carnivores series had to have fucked up for not being well received at any point.

I'd be curious to hear more on it though.

What does /vr/ think of this game?

I've emulated a few times and got a little far in Sion (the knight) and the girl's scenario (forgot her name.)

I was impressed with what I'm assuming the size of the game being. There are 3 characters that you can select from whenever you turn the game on, each character goes through a total of 15 days or chapters before their quest is over. At the end when all 3 have come together an NPC you see throughout the game becomes the new leader of the last and final quest. So its fair to say its a large game, correct?

Characters do not learn character specific tech like Chrono trigger, no one has abilities like steal or blitz from FF6, instead you spell out or 'Enscribe' words in the game to create spells. This gives you the ability to use high level and destructive spells early in the game, the only thing stopping you is your amount of MP. These are called Mantras or; Words of Power. The possibilities are endless.

This is without a doubt the most complex and unique system of magic in a video game I've ever seen (I could only imagine this being the translator's never ending nightmare.)

There is an english translation (Unoffficial, yet still high quality.)

I've always felt that this game plops right down beside the other less played Square rpgs such as RoSa series, Live-a-Live, and Bahamut Lagoon.

The game has beautiful sprite and background work, and the music isn't something to be slept on either. I've always wanted to rip all of the magic FX but theres literally hundreds of spells. Alot of which are the same spell (graphically, but renamed and different damage. I've ripped the Lightning magic FX and that took days.

O yea; almost forgot, this game is hard as shit. Not 7th Saga Hard, but its quite a challenge.

I don't remember it being hard after I learned the spell that absorbs MP, the one that inflicts madness and the one that raises your strength
fantastic game though, probably kawazu's most accessible game as well
pity he didn't focus on it as he did on SaGa

OP here

What can you can tell me about the SaGa series? They appear to be hidden gems, I've only played Romancing Saga 3 for a few hours and thought it was really cool and fun. I really enjoyed the combat as it felt completely unlike FF or other square products. The character specific techs were really cool and I think the RS3 soundtrack is pretty darn good. Dat battle theme <3

Is it worth it to go back and play RoSa? My brother bought the PS2 remake for RoSa1 and he told me it was shit basically.
>>
>>3587363
Not really fond of the gimmicky spell system, which seem to be its USP. It's still a fine game because of other strong points: good graphics with neat in-battle animations, I liked the separate scenarios and elemental system for equipment. And last but not least: top-tier music.

OK, I was wrong then. I wonder if someone really buys these for $60 on eBay

This said, there was some dude a week ago here on /vr/ who boasted his new "100% authentic" cartridges, which were obviously repros.
