Just beat the SFC version of Dragon Quest III, reset the game after the credits, only to find that the game only "marks" that you beat the game and doesn't actually save any exp, gold, or items you got since you last saved the game.
FOR WHAT PURPOSE?
What are some other things in classic games that drive you up a wall like this?

Some old games give you XP for beating the final boss, despite there being no NG+ or anything after it.
>>

And other games have secret bosses, stronger than the final boss, that give the best equipment.

Are there any good retro games with a good drifting mechanic? I want to DOMINATE those turns.

Ridge Racer Type 4 has the best in the series but it's on rails.
For real drifting you might want to try Racing Lagoon or even Gran Turismo 1/2.
>>
>>3487910
Mario Kart
>>
Shutokou Battle series (even the Sufami titles)
Option series (they're not that focused in
Ridge Racer games
Touge Max G
Initial D (highly recommend using the negcon/ngplugin if you're emulating)
From the top of my mind I can only remember that, but focusing in drift mechanics only started with full strength during the 6th gen, you'll find more titles that appeal you there.

Can we have a Daggerfall thread? I'm just getting into it and it's a lot of fun.
I also have some questions about the game that I hope more experienced players can answer.

For example the Knightly Orders. I can only join one. Is there any difference besides the "free inns" or eventual house I can get?
Do any of them give different quests or different rewards?
>>
>>3487834
Okay, every guild as such (including temples and knightly orders) has skill requirements, as well as reputation requirements, in order to advance. This is very restrictive in comparison to modern TES games; it essentially means you can't be master of everything. Although I guess you could design a character specifically to gain access to as many guilds as possible, but keep in mind that every quest you take has a time limit, and your reputation will drop over time no matter what. So even if you could join them all, you'd spend all your time doing busywork juggling reputation.
I believe all the knightly quests are randomly generated.
>>
>>3487893
I don't need to join everything really, I was just curious what I might miss out on if I join the Knightly Order of Dragons vs Roses.

who thought putting this stupid gimmick on the second level was a good idea. And jumping on the hippo's tails is a pain in the ass too

That part is so easy though.

Apparently the second level of Lion King was slower/harder than it should be because of an agreement with Disney.
The idea was that if someone rented the game, and progressed to much in a single day, that person wouldn't feel like buying the game anymore.

I feel like everyone here knows this by now
Something I've always wondered (game audio/music related):
You know how in SNES games like Super Mario World and Street Fighter 2, when the time starts to run out or the fight is almost over, the music speeds up to a 'panic-like' state? Remember how whenever the music sped up, it would immediately transition to a faster version of the tune with no breaks/restarts in between, and still stay in the same key/pitch as before.....just with a faster tempo?
(at the 0:30 mark)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qAPbXNq0dc
I've noticed that in newer-generation disc-based games (at least older ones like PS1/PS2), when they try to recreate that effect, the music is faster.....but the new faster music starts from the beginning again, instead of continuing cleanly in the middle of the song, like in the old cartridge-based games
(at the 2:26 mark)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSMLyymkyqw
Why was this? Was the disc unable to transition cleanly between the regular-speed tune to the faster-speed tune, while mid-song? Was this some sort of limitation that disc-based games had which cartridges could do......or did the game makers simply choose a different way of transitioning the faster music?
I know this is an oddly-specific thing to ask about but I've been wondering for years...

I don't know the exact technical reason, but yeah it has to do with it being on a disc. The track has to start over.
It happens with Sonic Jam on Sega Saturn, on Genesis or emulators, when you get the speedshoes, the music gets faster and then slow downs again continuously, in Sonic Jam it just starts over since it needs to read the track from the disc.
>>
>>3487716
>The track has to start over.
I figured it might have been as simple as this but I wasn't sure
It's weird to think that - however minor it is - the old cartridges were capable of doing something that the newer discs couldn't

Carts have another even bigger advantage: no loading times.

Does anyone else get a Castlevania (Metroidvania in particular) feel from this game?
I swear this game is like Castlevania if Simon had a kick-ass armor instead of a whimsy whip and Dracula had cooler buddies that actually did shit instead of just slacking-off in his mansion.

Is your brain broken? There are some similar colors but the art isn't close, gameplay is completely different, music is different...

The art and music are precisely what's similar actually.

While Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto worked on Super Mario World, he thought to make Yoshi the series' "next hero" since the game designer did not like the other Yoshi games, including Yoshi's Safari and Yoshi's Cookie, and thought he could make something more authentic. When he first brought the game to Nintendo marketing, they declined the game for having Mario-style graphics rather than the vogue, computer pre-rendered graphics of Donkey Kong Country. In comparison, they felt that his game lacked the power to impress.[12] Incensed and opposed to the style, Miyamoto instead further escalated his cartoonish visuals into a hand-drawn, crayon style.[6][12] Nintendo's marketing department accepted this revision. Miyamoto later recalled feeling that the marketing department wanted "better hardware and more beautiful graphics instead of ... art".[12] Around the time of his rejection, Miyamoto allegedly said that "Donkey Kong Country proves that players will put up with mediocre gameplay as long as the art is good".[12] However, he later clarified his remarks, stating that "recently some rumour got out that I didn't really like that game? I just want to clarify that that's not the case, because I was very involved in that. And even emailing almost daily with Tim Stamper right up until the end."[13]
>Miyamoto later recalled feeling that the marketing department wanted "better hardware and more beautiful graphics instead of ... art".

daaaaamn, miyamoto.
i've always been curious. who do you think the audience for this game is supposed to be? i think it's too hard for young children.
i think it's a very solid platformer with an interesting mechanic, sufficient challenge, and some catchy music.

Quite simply, this is the best platformer on the SNES.
For some reason there's a weird contingent of idiots (people over 35, Giant Bomb watchers) who insist on shit-talking it at any given opportunity.
