Donkey Kong Land on the Game Boy, actually.
>Based on the groundbreaking CGI-rendered SNES hit Donkey Kong Country, this highly enjoyable platformer is arguably the title that pushed the original Game Boy to its absolute limits, and Machacek is proud of what he achieved. “I deliberately sat down and spent three weeks doing nothing but engine work to get it to a point that it could handle anything we threw at it,” he remembers. “At that time many games were downloading about 6-8 characters a frame to the video bank and Donkey Kong Land needed much more than that with all of the rendered artwork it had to drive. I do know that my lead artist got fed up of waiting for me to finish this work! It was techy stuff that was invisible to him, and you have to understand that three weeks to write an engine seemed like an age when we had put out the Game Boy version of WWF SuperStars in three months flat – including testing – a couple of years earlier. But the Donkey Kong Land engine was able to shift 24 characters a frame by the end, and suddenly we were able to drive a lot of rendered artwork. I don’t think anyone complained after that, especially when it sold four million units!”

Obelix, Smurfs' Nightmare, Star Hawk and Hammerin Harry, also on the Game Boy.

Are these games just got looking or can you actually proof that they pushed anything? For all I care we can turn this into a "best looking games on x console" thread.

>>3400959
Kirby's Adventure and Conker's BFD certainly pushed the consoles. Yu Suzuki also said that Shenmue II used most of the Dreamcast's power.

Not really.

No. Half the screen is obscured at all times.

MK64 is far better.

Drifting is so different to all recent ones that it's taken me ages to adjust. You HAVE to cancel the drift every time, meaning an extra hop.

Game is as fun as ever, but battlemode is derisory as everyone knows the red shell timing

Tried to get into it several times OP, but couldn't. Maybe I'll try again one day, but that's far off.

Sorry for the late reply.

First and foremost, Grand Elves. Their weekly growth deals even more damage than that of Unicorns, not to mention Rampart heroes often get Archery. They also work very well with Expert Earth/Mass Slow. However, they MUST be guarded at all costs.

Which brings us to another point: Rampart have plenty meat shield units. Dwarves, Dendroids, even Unicorns are quite alright. You have plenty to choose from. Just never let the enemy touch the Elves, surround them from all sides.

Third, sieging castles. This is where it gets harder. First, If you don't want to lose your Elves, leave them with another hero. They will get targeted by arrow towers and decimate their numbers. Second, you have a lot of slow walkers. You'd really benefit from Ballistics, but alas, it's hard to get for all Rampart heroes. Thus, Rampart can't just take a castle quickly without Dragons.

You'd be advised to learn Expert Earthquake and/or Teleport, depending on you magic school proficiency. But anyway, if you can, leave the job for Dragons. It's much easier that way with gem/Clancy.

People that boycotted forge get out.

BTW I try figure out how to setup better music in World of Xeen. I have GOG version and i never had so much fun with any game. I'm close to clearing out the temple of Yak. But i heard you can somehow get better sounds.

They're pretty cool. I like Change Air Blade, Dyna Gear, and Zombie Raid.

He's a good character for experienced players, but not as fun to play as Max

>>3398080
Agreed. I always play as the chick though

>>3395478
I don't think there is netplay for PS1, but even if it did, it's probably gonna be laggy as fuck. You're better off playing locally with someone by connecting a second controller or something.

ePSXe maybe?

>>3395478
I definitely need to play this game.
Do people still burn games and play on their modded ps2/ps1s?

>>3394783
I want to see that in action.

>>3394787
I know /vr/ hates Youtube but literally go see any video about Bart vs Space Mutant or Swamp Thing (another NES game that shares this control scheme) there.

>>3394819
>I know /vr/ hates Youtube
Youtube e-celebs =/= Youtube

>>3394764
Probably. Expect a lot of disagreement, though.

If you only care about that job system, yes.

Yes. By far the best gameplay. Best characters, partly because the cast being small enough that nobody is irrelevant. A lot of people shit on the plot, but I don't think they should, because no FF game has a good plot. Admittedly, the music is pretty outclassed by a lot of the later entries; 6 swooped in right after and completely outdid it in that regard, but not any other.

Just wondering - are there any guys interested in Soviet PCs?

From browsing Ebay auctions it seems Commodore PETs are kind of rare although the figures I have claim they sold almost a million of them.

Commodore 8-bit sales:

>PET (prod. 1977-85)
1 million
>VIC-20 (prod. 1981-84)
3 million
>C64 (prod. 1982-94)
12.5 million
>Plus/4 and C16 (prod. 1984-86)
1 million
>C128 (prod. 1985-89)
4 million

So. I just got an Atari XEGS and a MyIDE-II cart. Any good games/demos/whatever that will run on that setup? (xex files preferred, the .atr images I've tried haven't worked)

As soon as I finish my Fiesta run I'm catching up on my backlog to play RS2. Anything major to worry about getting started?

>>3314321
>Anything major to worry about getting started?
You might want to check the previous thread, we've already had detailed discussion about this.

There's a few permanently missable items some of which are key items for a certain quest, use magic a lot since you won't be able to get any new spell without upping your proficiencies in magic schools, get new formations by talking to the captain in the dojo and prepare to die a lot.
All the rest is more or less standard SaGa routine, albeit more brutal and non linear than average.

>>3314332
Okay, thanks, I'll look through the last thread.

What are some good resources for 68k programming? Going through some disassemblies of genesis games feels like I'm reading cryptic runes.

Thank you Con man!

Who is that? Guy from the first Mana game or something?

Bahamut Lagoon was SO pretty and the story was ahead of it's time (kinda?)

OP's pic is Oersted. He's a walking spoiler for Live A Live.

>>3408073
How the hell is that immersion breaking? The game is set in Eagleland, which is an obvious parallel of the United States

Do faggots like OP think they're funny?

It's a love it or hate it game, but Fortune Street is top-tier for this. I recommend the wii version simply because a bunch of the retro versions don't have 4-player support, also it's in English. Aside from that, almost all the series games are identical from what I can tell.

I'm also playing this right now, which has a similar feel to it, but I want something more on the side of "trapped in a cabin, trying to figure out who the murderer is"

It isn't a trapped scenario, but Famicom Tantei Club part 2 for SFC is pretty good. Great music and graphics too. The first one is only on FDS (not translated) so maybe it's good too but idk.

>>3407302
I've heard the FDS one recommended before, I'll check it out.
