which retro games have the most smoother animations/framerates?
From which generation?
>>3438037
well, third to fifth
>>3438035
Amazing how much better PP looks than racing games made a decade or more afterward. They always got greedy with 3D and made games that only look good in screenshots.
See also: just about any early 80s game with vector graphics.
post favorite maps
i always thought the map for zelda 2 was neat, and i'm a sucker for the square style
Posting the obviously best one

dkc3 has the most beautiful maps
What is your favourite version to play on
Genesis for the amazing music
What does /vr/ feel about Secret Of Mana? I'm interested in the rest of the mana series but honestly this game feels kind of "cheap". I recruited Popoi and now I'm the forest.
>>3437927
I thought it was ok. Great graphics and music but the gameplay has its flaws, namely having to level up many different skills separately and it being awkward to try to control three different characters at the same time in an action game.
I actually prefer the first Seiken Densetsu for game boy. Haven't gotten around to any of the others in the series yet, but a lot of people seem to really like SD3.
It's not known for it's excellent programming, the AI and hit detection is honestly not very good. Secret of Evermore improves on these areas.
What Secret of Mana does have is nostalgia, music that makes me cry, nice visuals, and a really emotional and fantastical storyline.
I'd say go at least until you get the first elemental spirit that lets you cast magic, and if you can, go until the forest of four seasons before you decide you don't like it. You haven't even really made it to any of the major boss fights yet, other than the mantis I guess, though he's sort of a joke.
Play Secret of Evermore a bit if SoM really doesn't do it for you, but don't feel obligated to finish either, they might not be your thing.
Its one of my favorites. I love the fuck out of that game.

why not? the gui version runs in low spec pcs

I don't know.
Mega man weakness logic
>Metal man weak against his own weapon..
>>3437654
I'm pretty susceptible to my own weapons too desu
I like how people always bring up Metal Man being weak against his own weapon but at the same time seem to forget that all robot masters in Mega Man 3 are also weak against their own weapons.
>>3437654
I don't have a problem with this. it's easy enough to take him out with the buster or quick boomerangs.
I think bubbleman should not have been weak to metal blade, it completely nerfed him. if you fight him with the buster he's actually a respectable boss, in spite of what everyone says.
what did you think of alien storm?
>>3437326
Seems like a decent enough belt scroller.
Cool setting. Enjoyable, but kind of repetitive.
"Why can't they just shoot forward?"
At least they do on the shooter and running stages.
So I added this puppy to my NES collection today and it's surprisingly a fantastic collection. Anyone else know of any decent multicarts out there? I have a fairly large NES collection, but these things are kindof just neat for the novelty alone.
Does a decent SNES one exist by chance?

everdrive
Are you a chubby grill by chance? I like chubby grills
>>3437302
Everdrives can't run SNES enhancement chips or NES chips either, but those are nice. I actually have an NES one, but I kindof want these for the novelty more than anything. Isn't really about the convenience.
Oh and I'm not chubby.
>>3437309
snes does dsp and the nes has some mapper support.
I am in the process of consolidating to flashcarts and buying the few unsupported games I don't already own. I can't justify the price of games these days.

First for POWER OF THE DRAGON FORCE
what are the pros and cons of this game?
The game itself is quite good. Fun and challenging.
The protagonists and setting are the lamest in the series though.
>>3436947
do you think that it's not as well regarded as the first two games simply because of the horrendous mongoloid baby gorilla?
it's strictly worse dkc2 but still playable
the main issues are kiddy kong being unlikeable and the music being shit
I don't want the PSU to burn out or worse have something happen to my console.
A classic question to which the answer is "probably". We have 120v AC (110 in practice) and theirs is only 100v. Most Japanese shit does work off our power. If it starts to get reallyhot to the touch, at that point use your best judgement. It won't hurt your N64 unless it physically melts something just from convection.
I've heard all Jap electronics will work fine but I don't have the balls to try it.
Will it work? Yes.
Is it optimal? Technically, no.
If you have the availability, should you use a console of any region in any country with a power supply belonging to that country? Absolutely.
Is /vr/ up for a Starcraft thread? I've been on a Starcraft binge lately and been really enjoying it. The atmosphere and story has been a lot better than I thought it would be, especially compared to the sequel. Also how much harder is the campaign in Brood War compared to vanilla?
Post:
>favorite race
>favorite unit
>>3436650
Protoss
Reavers. There's nothing like ranged splash damage.
>Zerg
>Mutas
StarCraft forums and UMS are some of my fondest /vr/ memories. Does anyone have a dump of UMS maps?
>>3436682
There's a fairly good site with alot of uploads somewheree, found obscure ass UMS RPGs like The Legend of Magi just with google
Can we get a thread going about lesser known arcade games? The pic is of the game Electric Yo-Yo by Taito.

Mega Blast?
Mercs?
Warriors of Fate?
Elevator Action?
Armored warriors?
Is Dino Crisis any good? I've always thought of it as 'Resident Evil with dinosaurs' but I don't know anything about it. I've been going through all the classic Resident Evils and I'm working my way through Chris's story in Code Veronica and was planning on playing Dino Crisis afterwards.
>>3436429
Yeah its great
>>3436429
>I've always thought of it as 'Resident Evil with dinosaurs' but I don't know anything about it.
It's pretty much Resident Evil with dinosaurs alright
Up to you if you like Resident Evil or dinosaurs enough to give it a try
>>3436429
>I've always thought of it as 'Resident Evil with dinosaurs'
That's exactly what it is. It's my third favorite RE game on the PSX.
So why are the weapons in MegaMan 5 so shit?
>Power Stone
christ don't remind me
Playing all the number games in order and this game seems to be the worst.please tell me it gets better...
I mean mega man 5 seems the worst
