One thing to note is that Simon Belmont's design seems to come from Conan The Barbarian film. Yet again, we see Arnold Swartzenegger influencing game design.

I'll give you a bump out of curiosity.

I always wanted to learn more about hagihara - the director of both dracula x games (sotn and rondo)

Not a lot of info out there about the director of the best castlevanias

I paid what I thought was a lot at the time for Tron Bonne, but it's worth like 5x that now and it's a pretty good game.

>>3412290
Same thing with me and Panzer Dragoon Saga. Thought what I paid was stupid at the time($150) but now its worth $500 CiB.

Out of curiosity, why do you think Mega Bomberman is better?
I have both and the PC Engine/TG-16 version just looks like it blows it out of the water in most categories, it looks better, sounds better, and has less slow down.
However you're not the first person to say this but I hope you're the first to give me a reason to give my Mega Drive copy some more play

Well that's good because 4 is the worst of the NES mega mans.

>>3411104
Nice reading comprehension.

>hack is better than any potential future games
it's not THAT good

>>3410921
Astal*

I'd like to know too.

Abe's Odyssey and Exoddus for ps1 is fantastic, one of mye favorites growing up, and still holds up well today.

You can play through them killing everyone (pretty easy, but still kinda fun) or trying to save all the good guys (a fucking challange)

>>3410762

No, unless you nitpick stuff like minor censorship, or dialogue changes in RPGs.

>>3410789
>censorship is nitpicking
Hi, SJW.

For some reason, the japanese version of Sonic Adventure (before the International re-elease) manages to be worst than the western version. It was so glitchy that I had to buy a american one to finally finish it.

Saturn. Not even a question.

My gut says Saturn.

If we're also restricted from playing any other Sega console's games in any other form, I'd say genesis, otherwise I'd say Saturn

Mine bricked itself pretty quick but it sounds like most people don't have any issues with theirs. In the end you get what you pay for I guess.

>>3410403
So its the usual chink knockoff roulette? Fuck, I might just spend the extra 30$ for the lifetime warranty, then.

As far as I know, the "Mega Everdrive" (~$140) is the only one that supports save states, so I'm probably going to get that one.

I like being able to play for 45 minutes and switch to a different game. My days of 3-4 hour long gaming sessions are mostly at an end.

>>3410370
I played it once at a convention, and I didn't have any of the "side effects" that are typically associated with the console.

>Best way to play it without being in an awkward position?
I'd say sitting at a table, leaning (not hunched over) into the eyepiece while having your hands/arms placed on the edge of the table for support.

>Is it actually worth owning if I like the games, or stick to emulation?
Sure, if you don't mind the price. Also, consider that you won't get the 3D effect through emulation, and the controller is pretty unique in its design, so it may not control as well with a gamepad that isn't designed in the same way (similar to using a modern gamepad as an N64 controller).

>>3410370
Vatyaru boy!

I've owned one since back in the day. I never got nausea or bad headaches from it though you do get some eye strain from extended play as you would with any video game. There are a few decent games for it unfortunately its short life means that the library is very small. Last time I pulled it out and played it about a year ago it was working great and after about 45 minutes the left screen started getting bars on it. I've read that this is common as they get old because they cheaply attached the ribbon cables to the displays with glue which goes bad as they get old and loses connection. I can't even open the thing up to see if I can fix it because the security bit is too recessed for me to get to without ordering an extra long bit. Now its back in the box taking up space in my closet, what a shame.

I liked Superstar Saga more.

It's a really good game, but it's just a little too easy. For kids it's a fun romp

>>3410340
It's good but it's too short and a little too easy. I'd probably put Paper Mario 64, Thousand Year Door and SuperStar Saga in front of it. Maybe even Bowser's Inside Story.

Haven't played the other Mario and Luigi games so not sure where they would rank.

Just buy a micro or 101 SP

>>3410282
I don't like the form factor of those.

It has 100% comp.

It's a reverse engineered hardware clone.

>>3409886
Is it in NB? Just curious because there's somebody selling one nearby me that I've been eyeing, but just don't have the money or rook to buy it right now.

Out east Ontario.

Why bother with the monitor? If he's just throwing it in, then fine, but it's not at all necessary. The only microcomputer I'd bother buying a monitor for is a CPC.

>>3409835
Dunno but that game looks cool as tits, so have a bump.

It feels fun, but it needs a bit of setting up with the controls and all. Too bad I can't find a chart with all the keymappings. Doesn't seem to recognize the X52 I have either as opposed to other games.

View controls are not all that great and it's a shame that all the fighters have the same cockpit without any sort of gunsight.

But just the idea of commanding a fleet of zeppelins and fighting between them in one of those fighters is enough to make it fun. At least for me.

>>3409835
I'm going to try this on my dos machine soon.

>Is there more like this?

Nope. Enjoy it while you can, you'll never play it for the first time again.

>>3409502
>this game frequently sells for $100+
wtf happened?

It is indeed an incredible game OP, but there are no other games like it that i know of, and that game itsels is a spin-off of the Ghouls n' Ghosts series.

>>3409235
Yes, it takes out the jittery textures of the ps1

The loading times are better surely, right?

It's a literal casualized mobile port.
Don't bother with it.
