No Shining Force thread? Idiocy.
Best games? Teams? Characters? Music? Battles?
And how about that SFIII translation? Never did scenario 2 or 3. Can I use a US scenario 1 save with the translated scenarios 2 and 3 to unlock the true ending?
>>3490737
RPGs are for gay niggas.
played the GameGear one for awhile on my 3DS but after like 7 or 8 of the battles it all feels so samey.
>>3490785
I FINALLY beat sf for game gear this summer. When it was new, I was around half way through when a friend borrowed it and deleted my save...and then never played it, because he was a jerk. Never got into it again.
Really glad I finally beat it, I enjoyed the hell out of it. Super plain but nice.
I have also wondered about if the NA sf3 scenario 1 will allow save data transition to J scenarios. I don't see why they wouldn't nice the games just look for that data, even if I believe the endings of the two scenario 1s are different.
Has anyone else realized this game is actually kinda shit, and probably was only put on a pedestal because it was so rare?
>>3490676
Describe why?
Carefully.
I like it. Love the soundtrack - one of the best in the industry. Great atmosphere, lore and designs.
if you personally don't like it, that's fine. it doesn't mean the game is bad. it only means you don't like it. given how many people have praised the game, over the decades, and have given specific examples of why they love it, I am inclined to believe that you might be the outlier.
and given how popular "contrarian, baselessly arrogant asshole trying to prove his superior taste" threads are... sorry, I meant "overrated games" threads are, I am even less likely to be swayed by your opinion
PC98/PC88 thread? Does anyone care about these old computers or have some recommendations?

Comfy as fuck.

Honestly, I figured that was mostly for aesthetic screenshots rather than actual gameplay. The art is beautiful but I know there are also some pretty fun games (assuming you know moon)
I've been wondering if someone will ever pick up the rights to redistribute Nihon Applications games like Gekirin for the FM Towns, developed by none other than Yoshio Kiya of Dragon Slayer fame. Falcom ought to do something about this.
Wait, he was a girl all along!?!

This post is confusing
>>3490835
why
>>3490472
That's good, she's a qt.
1) pick a retro game
2) name the strongest character
>>3490430
super mario bros
mario
>>3490438
Only if he has a starman, and for a short period of time. The strongest character is Koopa/Bowser. It takes a lot of fireballs to kill, Mario can die in 1 hit, or 2 if he has a mushroom/fireflower.

I've played a few RPGs but it always seems really unbalanced, like how most spells are utterly useless, some classes serve no purpose, etc. I think the closest I ever found to a balanced RPG was the Mother series where you could actually use debuffs and shit on bosses and every character had its own characteristics. Are there any better balanced games ?
>>3489431
Wizardry 8
If console RPGs, I think FF5 works, no class is really useless there. Most mainline FF titles can feature quite a lot of debuffing and class utility if instead of grinding you commit to using proper strats.
And there's Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre.
>>3489434
>Final Fantasy Tactics
I gave up when I noticed archers weren't the shit I thought it was
Thanks though, I'd actually forgotten FF5, a shame they didn't keep its job system, never seen anything else that's so great and enjoyable.
>>3489437
Proper usage of archers involves Mustadio and time mages.
Why do a lot of people on here refer to rechargeable AAs as Eneloops? I've never been referring to them as any specific brand myself.

Over the past couple of months, I've noticed repros of the first gen games cropping up. (Red, Blue, Yellow, etc)
People selling them on the bay as originals at almost the same price as what the original versions go for.
I wondered what your thoughts are on this?
Examples:

Fucking gay.
>>3489372
Amen to that. What gets me is people buy them on the belief they're original.
the only thing that could make this cool is removing the need for battery saves. but that price is awful and the save fix wouldn't justify that price either
What's the best version and way to play the original Ultima? Is the first Apple II version significantly worse than the 1986 version? How is the early 90's DOS rerelease?
The first version was written in BASIC and runs shoddily, the remake was written in Assembler and runs a lot better as well as fixing various issues.
There should be only one IBM-DOS release from 1986, everything after that should just be a repackaging.
The FM Towns port is the best. It has the most advanced graphics and actual music.
The towns and castles are no longer shown as a single screen but I don't think that's a problem.

My only experience with it is an old PlayItBogart video review. I should start it up and see how I feel, but it's late, and I know it's gonna be 2hard4u hard and I'll probably come back saying that I hate it.
>>3489129
Gonna guess it has rad as shit music though, per Konami tradition.
