Crusader of Centy. Genesis' take on ALTTP.

Being a Zelda clone isn't a bad thing though, they're good games and having more of that with different characters and stories is great.

Are you kidding me? Are N64s that expensive that some scam website is lying that it's $65? Fuck the retro market. This is ridiculous.

SMB2 seems to be considered among the easier Marios, but I actually find it the hardest. I wonder if it just has to do with your play style; i find this game significantly more difficult than 1 and 3, becuase in those games it seems memorization serves you better. In 2, I feel like you need better dexterity and the ability to adjust to the situation.

Pic related is something I still have incredible difficulty with, after all these years. I just can't get it. Digging in the sand with the shy guys, the ones shooting bullets..its a nightmare. And whenever I grab a key, it makes me incredibly nervous when the masks chase me. I know Toad is best for digging but even then I struggle (and I like to do everything as Mario).

So...thoughts on Mario 2?

It's incredibly difficult if you play with Luigi or the princess. Yes, the princess. She's a good character if you want to minimize deaths to bottomless pits, but she takes forever to dig and pick up objects. This forces you to synchronize your movements to avoid the jabs of the shy guy or THE MASK.
As for Luigi, I don't know. I can't get around with him. As a kid I enjoyed playing with Luigi because I liked how he jumped. Then I got to the latter levels and it became a literal hell.

Did this game have to employ programming tricks, or is the high number of sprites within the SNES's capabilities?

Most of Troika's stuff is a pretty good pickup. Just remember to patch. VtMB is pre-patched with the bugfix thing, but you might still want to patch with the latest version of the plus patch.

When you played Sonic as a kid, did you imagine his spin attack was a blunt force ball attack or that he used his spines as a buzzsaw?

From the physics the damage is definitely from the blunt force.

When I played Sonic as a kid, he didn't have a spin-dash.

Considering his spines go backwards, a spindash would be bludgeoning unless he was somehow moving backwards while spinning forwards, which would be painful as fuck

Hiro is allowing boards to openly discuss their rules, basically to determine how we want things ran.
Original thread: >>3496160

GBA, with it's huge ties with retro franchises and consoles, has long been suggested to be fully allowed on /vr/ like the Dreamcast, and the old poll shows that may just be the consensus.
(http://www.strawpoll.me/11225706/)

However the slippery slope is feared by some that this may allow the rest of the sixth generation, even though pro-GBA don't seem to consider PS2/XBox retro, though GCN isn't being slammed as hard with it's ties to the GBA.

The new poll is to address the concerns of everyone, and should help with a final consensus of how /vr/ views the sixth generation as a whole.

The opposition seems to have this as their arguments.

-Fucking 6th millennial babbies
-It will bring Halo's 12 year old fans here
-We shouldn't even have 5th gen
-I will shitpost 6th gen threads to death if they're allowed

I really don't see why their side is a thing

>I'm going to post this shit again and again hoping people would stop telling me to fuck off.
Your poll isn't worth anything, everybody can reset their routers to vote as many times as they want, and judging by your eager I'm pretty sure you would never do that uh.

If the poll was the other way around your post would say "SEE! SEE! WE DON'T WANT IT HERE! >>>/v/ >>>/v/ >>>/v/ >>>/v/ >>>/v/ >>>/v/ >>>/v/ >>>/v/ >>>/v/ >>>/v/ >>>/v/ >>>/v/ >>>/v/ >>>/v/ >>>/v/ >>>/v/"

Started playing this gem again the last weeks. It's so damn cozy and good. I really enjoy both the questing and the "xxx-run"-system.

I only have a Meteorb sorc atm, to grind up some gear for other characters. Planning on doing my first serious attempt at a lightning-Amazon. But trapsin is lot of fun aswell.

Anyone up for a little community? Trying to keep a server up all the time for muling and maybe do some runs together.

Btw, found Shako yesterday

I'd be up but Blizzard locked my account because of "suspicious activity" and I said "Unlock it NOW, fuckface".

They didn't, I did a chargeback on my credit card, and they banned me.

you should also note that ladder resets in nov/dec usually, so if you want to make high end runewords, it might be better to wait until you have a full season to play

Good thing they didn't translate that.

why was megaman 2 for the gameboy so much shorter than the first megaman?

It was made by a different set of developers, who made the game way easier.

its still a great game, it just feels off. i guess that makes sense though if you say its done by a different team. the music is different for no reason also, and you cant even soft reset!? 1 was a good game (much harder), and it just felt a lot longer than this.

its a shame, they could have made it the defining game in the gameboy series...

what would you say the defining gameboy megaman is?

Megaman V. The stardroid whee originan boss. Having Sunstar has the final boss was a nice twist.

I am thinking of getting Ys Book 1 and 2 off the Wii's Virtual Console (it costs $8), however, most of the RPGs from the late 80's and early 90's are very dated in terms of their game play and do not hold up at all.

The game seems to have a nice soundtrack, but is this really a good game, or is it just famous for being among the first RPGs to really utilize the CD format?

Alright, we're bottomed out finding it on Google. We're trying to play The Specialists and ESF, both Half-Life mods. One of our friends can't launch them. They start, and go to a black screen. Can't do anything. They can launch Half-Life just fine, and they can do Sven Co-op, but not the good ol' mods.

Anyone had this before? This is all we want, fuck's sake.

Half life 1 mods are out of this world dude. It's a sad story and it ends right there.

Quoted for fucking truth. NS2 is still great and all, but it just doesn't compare to the crazy antics of NS1.

Lerk-lifts, the secret rooms, the old Super Siege maps, forming human towers in CO matches, all the crazy modded maps...it was great.

I remember a match where this drunk guy backseat commed on one of the maps that heavily favored the aliens (was it mineshaft?), and his instructions led us to completely outmaneuver and beat the aliens in about 10 minutes. There was another time where a guy was caught in the middle of hurricane Floyd and just kicked back and baked cookies while he was playing. He abruptly told us he had to leave, though, and that was the last we ever heard of him.

NS1 was bizarre and amazing, and so were the people. I miss it all.
