I love Klonoa!
As a youth I ALWAYS thought the character's name was pronounced "KLONGA".
Then reality came crashing down on me and it dawned that the character's name is actually "KLONOA".
What a tremendous disappointment. KLONOA? When I was a child, I would gleefully exclaim "KLONGA!" "KLONGA!" I was SO excited about
KLONGA!
No.
Life's not like that.
There's no cheerful somebody waiting for you at
that altar.
There's no meaning in your alphabet soup.
There's a right to obey.
And there's a right to kill.
This is my suicide note.

D.D.D. is a pengu right?
Can we talk about this publisher/developer? Ocean was one of the more prolific companies back in the day, yet I've never seen /vr/ discuss them.
>>3484487
Best home port of Donkey Kong was Ocean's on the C64.

Probably the best thing about this company.

They mostly shat out really awful licensed games, that's why.
Thinking of buying one soon. I hear that you should replace all the capacitors in it. Any other essential mods, such as a new screen, better backlight, etc?
Recommend games too.
Just get a Master System instead.
>>3484341
I already have one.
>>3484334
you only need to replace caps if the audio or screen is wonky or weak. Both mine and my gf's still work great and they were bought new and never opened.
Can somebody explain why modern numale millennials obsess over retro games, yet ignore the things that made them good in the first place?
>Dude just get rid of lives and continues, what an outdated concept!
>Okay so lets just give the player infinite retries, because who cares, right? (Super Meat Boy)
>Well that sucked. Instead, lets give you no lives and have you restart the entire thing if you die! (Binding of Isaac)
How is 1 better than 3 lives or as many as you can acquire through good play?
>millennials
You mean Gen Z. Millennials are the ones who grew up with these games to begin with.
Somebody should teach them the value of a quarter

I miss old mari character design
Oh me oh my they've been transformed!
Peach invaded their kingdoms and massacred them all for failing her.
I'll start with an obvious one.

OP falls for the memes.
>>3484098
It plays the games designed around it and has yummy M&M buttons. What's not to like?

Is this where the normie meme originated from?
>>3484014
Normie in this context meant a human being, a normal person. So no
>>3484020
Which is literally how people on /r9k/ and other places use the term.

Beat Fallout 1 last week, awesome game. I'm playing Fallout 2 now, doing some stuff at the ghost farm and Modoc. I let out the deathclaw and accidentally killed everybody in that half of town. Whoops.
Fallout 2 is still pretty good but it feels buggier and more barebones than the first game. Like they went for a world with breadth more than depth.
Jet seems really, really easy to exploit. I killed all of the slavers guild really easily by just giving jet to all of them and waiting 10 minutes. For some reason I find that NPCs won't attack you while they're coming down from a jet high.

My character
I'm about to start a Final Fantasy playthrough on the NES that I actually intend on finishing. Usually I do Fighter-Fighter-RedMage-Redmage but I want to actually finish this one (usually give up at the ice cave) and have a good experience.
What would you recommend for party comps? I'm thinking Fighter, Thief/Blackbelt, WhiteMage Blackmage might be more enjoyable.
This can be a general thread for getting the most out of your first playthrough, or challenge runs or whatever.
>>3484008
>using anything other than the four fighter rape train
My go-tos are Fighter, Black Belt, Black Mage, White Mage and Black Belt, Black Belt, Black Belt, Black Belt. Four BB's is fun; a little extra grinding for exp, but never worry about GP and can one-round anything.
I ended up choosing Fighter, Black Belt, Redmage, Blackmage.
I was just grinding quite a bit while watching a movie, level 5 and I just got the ship.
Just found this on ebay: http://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/322255156327?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Never seen this one before, does any of you have some more info about it?
>>3483958
Looks like one of those things they'd have on expos pre-launch.
>>3483958
Damn that thing is sexy from the side.
Could mod that thing to display all types of shit besides a dumb psp.
>>3483958
Yup; Not Retro.
>People still pretend to dislike this game

I have literally never once read anything even vaguely negative about that game anywhere on the entire Internet.
Yeah I just don't understand the animosity that Curse gets. It's my favorite. I love the visuals, the humor is top-notch, and voiced acting only served to further enrich the series. I bust this game out every couple years.
"Ohhh, cabana boy..."
>>3483884
Then you haven't been paying attention to /vr/. People here splooge over the first two games, then claim Curse is where the series went to shit.it was actually Escape where that happened.
What are some fun retro games in which I can transform?
Sentai:
-Power Rangers: The Movie.
Non Sentai:
-Altered Beast
-Bloody Roar 1 and 2
>>3483837
Crisis Force

Kid Chameleon
Monster Party
Ultimate Fighter
I finally went and got MG1&2 out of my back log. I thought they were pretty cool. Especially for 8 bit games that predate LoZ.
Are there other 2d stealth games that are any good?
>>3483825
What world do you live in that 1987 predates 1986?
Pac-Man
It's a shame the bosses of MG1 and 2 were not memorable. Not FOXHOUND tier memorable I mean.
what am i in for /vr/?
I consider the Shinobi line a very good series of games but unrecognized by Sega. The Metroid of their company if you will. A question to ask your question, why haven't you played this yet?
>>3483725
ninjas on surfboards fighting robots
a game
oohh memories
Filthy imitation of Sharon Stone scene from Basic Instict. Get out weeb.

First time running into Policenauts? The entire game is nothing but a bunch of American movies blended together.
>>3483654
God Policenauts sucks! It's like a really bad Visual Novel. And I don't know, seriously, VN are like the easiest thing in the world to design. So when you design a bad one, that is remarkable.
Like the entire story of Policenaughts is not only a pixel hunt, but you basically have to try everything, and then try everything multiple times. So if you don't know this, like if you want to know about some photograph, you ask about the photograph, and she tells you something, and then you have to ask the same topic again. So that photograph entry can occur 3 or 4 times. And then you have to start from the beginning and try them all again because the third time might have opened something new up. And you have to exhaust every single option. ALL OF THEM. Before the game will let you move on. That is HORRIBLE.
It's not like an oldschool adventure game. Because in an adventure game you don't have to look at and inspect everything on the screen multiple times. You're just sitting there, desperately wanting to move on with the plot, and then you're stuck trying to inspect every little thing over and over again, and asking people the same questions over and over again. Ah it's bad. And when it finally gets exciting, it gets exciting for 20 seconds then you're right back at it.
Is the plot interesting? Not really. You know what the story is? It is 5% Blade Runner, 95% Lethal Weapon. It's straight up Riggs and Murtaugh. It's not even subtle. He rips off whole scenes. It's amazing.
