Krakens are some of my favorite enemies of that game. EB is memorable, but gameplay is trash outside Ness' Nightmare. I am not a rabid fan of EB.

The technique isn't bad, but I agree that the overall quality of it is a bit crude.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

My feet are too big

Take a screenshot of the error you get from FBA.

I'll just describe it to make sure thread stays alive, it says the ROM is detected, and at the end says
The ROMset exhibits the following problems:
~essential data is missing,the game will not run!
~program data is missing.
~graphics data is missing.

I assume Fightcade is some sort of emulator frontend.

What emulator is used for Jojo's? MAME or FBA?
If the former, newer versions of MAME require qsound.zip to run CPS2 and CPS3 games. If the latter, there is clone of the rom that is labeled (NO CD) is called jojobane.zip

Use that, as FBA doesn't handle CHD images.

Also, PSX games are supposed to be dumped as .bin and .cue files. If its actually a .iso file, then its a bad dump. Most PSX games are multitrack Mode 2/XA images not the traditional ISO 9660 format.

Had the NES Deluxe Set from Sears (retail price in May 1987 $249.99 USD). I only ever played R.O.B. with Gyromite because it came with the system (never played Stack-Up).

It was really one of those things where I'd take him off the shelf if a friend came over and said "what does that robot do?" I probably have more time spent just playing with the tops and spinner than the game.

He's deep in a storage unit, but last time I tested him (April 2012) he and all the parts still worked 100%. It's a fun curiosity with an interesting backstory (basically a trojan horse to get into toy stores burned by the gaming crash in the early 80's) but honestly I'd rather play Duck Hunt.

>>3406570
I pull mine out every now and then for a little bit of fun, and it's a good conversation starter.

I got mine with all the accessories and gyromite on ebay for .99¢ about 8 years ago. The anti strain clutch had broken so the owner thought it was bricked.
I fixed it up and it was working flawlessly untill about a year ago when the microswitch in his base got worn out, so that's on my list of thing to fix.

Bought one at a flea market a few years ago fit a few bucks.

Don't own stack up or gyromite though

The videos I watched make the games look really slow and boring

For NES and SNES my older brothers would keep the occasional box, so we have a handful for both systems. At least we kept the manuals for every game. It's not until the N64 where I made sure to keep the box for every single game, so there I have a rather lovely cardboard collection.

And wtf do you mean "maintain" OP? They're super easy to maintain. Just store them in the darkened corner of a closet like I do. They only degrade if you're one of those idiots who still actually keeps cartridges inside the boxes, meaning the its flaps get a little more degraded each time you decide to play that game.

I aint got time for boxes for carts. If I get a came with a box I'll trade it or flip it and get a cart only version.

i sold a genesis model 2 box, complete with all paperwork, inserts and cardboard shits.

buy it now:$85 with best offer
auto accept offers of $25 and up
receive offer for $70

people are dumb and i like taking their money.

ill buy them, how much

Just look for recently sold listings of the condition you have.

Computer games vary in price so much, there is no set difference.

A complete Daggerfall might be $100 and a disc only might be $5.
Another game might be $10 complete and $8 disc only.

>>3405956
Start your first bid at $1, the auction time for 7 days, and see how much they go for.

Don't be a greedy fuck.

Don't you just hold the jump button and then use homing attack when you're closer to it, unless you'd be able to hit the spring just from jumping? I've played Battle and it has those enemies too. I thought that those enemies don't die or respawn if you play the mystic melody again. It can't be as difficult as you're making it out to be.

There is no spring to jump from. I took that screenshot from one of the tutorials online I was complaining about, pic related is what's there instead.

>>3405868
>>3405914
If I recall correctly, when you jump onto the enemy and kill it, more enemies spawn in front of you to do homing attacks on.

Also, not retro, but there you go.

It was fine, but I hear it was practically the same game as womrs 2 and world party.

In fact, just between that and scorched 3d, it kind of started getting old.

>>3405742
World Party was better, but inherently, it's the same game, World Party just added a bunch of content and gameplay modifiers.

Hotseat Multiplayer is a rad feature which all turnbased games oughta have.

It was beautiful in its simplicity. In terms of local, turn-based multiplayer, it's ridiculously fun.

It's telling that Team 17 has done nothing but attempt to remake this game repeatedly ever since its launch, and yet they have still been unable to top it.

Don't chase them directly from behind, chase them from slightly to the side in a spiral direction until you close in on the hole.

WELL DONE!

Aliexpress has an actual good multicart with 150 games on it for around $15 USD. get that instead.

>Sunday Funday
>Not Menace Beach, where the bad guy strips the main guy's girlfriend.

But you talk to people by giving them things.

Truly the sign of a good game is tolerating all the horrible shit it throws in your face.

I did not like Zak McKracken.

>>3404197
>Annoying continuous copy protection that actually forced the game to come in two floppies

You do know that unless you're playing the C64 version, you can install it on a hard disk.

Ehh doesn't matter at all, I just wanna play and enjoy the damn game.

I hate Romancing Saga's version of skill based leveling up.

It's just too random.

Actually individual characters "system", as in each character has his/her own attributes, skills, strengths and weaknesses, preferably their own unique weapon and armor sets too.

She already got her ass kicked in the first game.

...You did beat System Shock first, right, insect?

The out-of-universe answer is that they ran out of money.

I didn't absolutely hate It, but I did dislike it. 4, 5, 6, and 7 gave me all kinds of feels. 8 Left me feeling cold. I felt like I was playing Degrassi:The Game+Magic. Still fun, but that teenage angst.
