hot milk

warm jizzum

Warm it up with a hair dryer. After the glue is weak stab at it with a screw driver and scrape the rest off with a potato chip

>werent designed for arcade stick

ive tried this time and time again, but i can't play platformers on stick

but i do playing retro RPGs because it feels dope plinking a summon or simple battle command

>>3414481
Somehow that hasn't crossed my mind, thanks for the suggestion.

>>3414486
I tend to do more risky stuff on platformers trying to attempt frame perfect jumps and stomps. Actraiser is pretty fun with a stick as far as RPG-ish games go.

The guy with the X name who is a final boss, obviously?

Xaero. His aiming was deadly accurate, he used the railgun, and the level design didn't allow cheap play.

Anaki you could easily get closer or use rockets splash damage.

Xaero, hands down.
That said, I REALLY enjoyed 1v1'ing Klesk on his map (q3tourney Hell's Gate).

what are some cool easy to get into DOS games? my favorites are Commander Keen 4 and Skyroads

>>3413880
Doom? Honestly, it's drop n go. Duke Nukem too. Quake. Literally almost any FPS of that era.

I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as DOS, is in fact, IBM/DOS, or as I've recently taken to calling it, IBM plus DOS. DOS is not an gaming platform unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning IBM system made useful by x86 processor, memory management and vital system hardware comprising a full gaming platform as defined by Wintel.
Many computer users played on a compatible version of the IBM system in the past, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of IBM which was widely used today is often called DOS, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the IBM PC compatible, developed by IBM Corporation.
There really is a DOS, and these people were using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. DOS is the operating system: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The operating system is an essential part of an gaming system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete gaming system. DOS is normally used in combination with the IBM gaming system: the whole system is basically IBM with DOS added, or IBM/DOS. All the so-called DOS PCs are really compatibles of IBM/DOS!

You can find them with a quick google.

I guess I'm mostly asking which sites I can trust. I've seen plenty of sites that say they have a translation, but I've not had much luck before.

> what itd be like to play 2d platformers from a first person perspective?
Like the Megaman Doom.

>>3413765
What I meant was playing the game within the same genre, so still playing it like a normal Mega Man..

>>3413016
Why are you not using SSF?

Also how do you use Mednafen with the gui or not?

doesn't house of the dead emulate on MAME?

>>3413016
>house of the dead

1. emulate the much better arcade original (I think it is Modeler that emulates all model 1-2-3 games, don't remember)
2. use SSF
3. buy a Saturn and use swap trick

>Metroid 64
I don't know about that. If Metroid made the transition to 3D, god knows how that would have gone. I read somewhere that the official reasoning was the lack of solid ideas for a 3D Metroid. Retro Studios came around in '98 and being the baby company they were I doubt Nintendo would have handed off Metroid to them at that point. The best case scenario would have been a gorgeous 2D sprite based 64-bit metroid. Holy crap that would have been cool. Nintendo would've never went through with it though because the entire 3D movement pushed 3D renditions of old games and a 2D follow up could have easily been ignored and seen as too "primitive" or lazy.

>>3411927
My thoughts exactly. Sure, the N64 was new and everybody wanted to jump into the 3D bandwagon, but looking at Mischief Makers, who knows what beauty we could've seen if the whole Metroid 64 development team took 2D as a deliberate, serious and well-planned design choice.

Shadowgate Rising was almost done and to be released on N64 back then.

I wanted to play that so badly, dammit.
now I have to wait for Zojoi doing a kickstarter for that. Raven, the hot redhead sorceress needs her own game.

BIG PRIZES
I LOVE IT

>>3412292
I'D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR

>>3410694
Yes.

Warcraft II is cute. CUTE!

>>3410723

Is Stargus good to use?

The first? Nah.

The second? Maybe.

>>3410396
Fun game but it wasn't made by the normal Mario team and it shows. It doesn't even rank in the top 5 2D Marios. Music is catchy as fuck tho

>>3410407
Mario Land 2 was great... for a handheld game. It feels closer to a traditional Mario title than the first but it still controls semi-oddly. I loved that you could choose which worlds to beat first but that also meant that most worlds had roughly the same difficulty level (except for maybe the Space Zone.) Still is quite a ways away from SMB3-tier

I'd have a much harder time deciding if Wario Land 2/3 were better than SMB3

>>3410396
Super Mario Land is great, but dude, that's not a fair fight that you're trying to have there.

Just play then chronologically, then do the same for The Adventure Island series

>I would like a game that aged well
Monster World IV is your best choice. It has great graphics and fun gameplay. Imo, is one of the best Sega Genesis games.

Aging in gaming is a completely subjetive concept that depends on what you're used to play. So tell us what you're used to play.

If you don't have problems getting into SMB1, you can get into the first Wonderboy just fine. Then play everything in release order, and the Adventure Island sequels too.

>>3410029
Yes.

Yes, unless you plan on missingno exploiting for Sun & Moon

No, get Blue, Yellow doesn't have Meowth.

People will reply with the years they have best memories of

1982/3 was a great time, although it was largely hit and miss. It was right in the middle of the boom so there were coders and publishers alike everywhere trying to cash in.
1991 had good games across the board. The Mega Drive had some of its best games released that year, Lemmings was released for the Amiga, and Another World came out.

I was more aware in 1991 so I'll go with that as the best year in games.

There are wikipedia articles for every "year in gaming" and a quick browse of those really shows that the idea of the mid to late 90s and very early 2000s being a real peak.
