I skipped out on work to stay at my friend's house one afternoon to play Battle Hunter. I didn't regret it. We had a multitap and everything, though we later found out it wasn't required.

Battle Hunter and Top Shop were a tremendous value when they released. They were $9.99 brand new and well worth it provided you had friends.

>Battle Hunter
Underrated game, a shame there's not a lot to do in its singleplayer mode, admittedly, the multiplayer is where most of the fun is.
Great little game for a super budget title though, the sprites aren't even that bad.

>>3385660
BOARD GAME TOP SHOP IS RAD. just make sure you have 2 players but its still fun to play alone.

If you take too long in the battle against the Nightmare Orb kirby falls out of the sky

You can have MY BIG GAY DANCE

It's a fantastic game, I think it was the first game I ever got 100% on...

Yes. Next thread please.

>>3385143
No, its enduring popularity is due to it being completely unplayable and the worst game ever.

Because there's a lot of other late bandwagon jumpers, like you, who came late to the party, and ruined everything for everyone else.

Literally demand. Auctions embody everything with how much people are willing to pay. To some people it's downright crazy, but to others it's how much they're willing to pay just to get a piece of entertainment. May it be shit or otherwise.

more demand than supply.

I love collecting big box games. The hardest bit is my budget.

I try to buy big box pc games whenever I see them, though I don't see them that often anymore. 10 years ago they were all over the place.

>harder to quantify examples like the difference between the N64 or Playstation?
They aren't hard to quantify.
> the 2600/Colecovision/Intellivision
It's not hard to tell exactly what's this console among them too.

What many might not know is that the PS1's colour-space is not uniform like the RGB of other systems. The brightness levels ramp up very quickly at the low end -- this was done so that on CRTs there wouldn't be a thousand different shades of colours that all appeared just black. This is partly what gives the PSX its unique look and why, for example, Gran Turismo for the PSX is far more saturated and characteristic than say, the PSP's own Gran Turismo, where the full 24-bit RGB colour range gives a terribly dull and bland appearance.

>>3384186
>or the 2600/Colecovision/Intellivision?

There was a huge difference. Coleco and Intellivision were closer to the NES, they were like gen 2.5, Atari had far inferior graphics, but it was also released many years earlier.

Have you checked TCRF to see if it's on there?

>>3383792
Why is Ayla replaced with Magus at the end?

>>3383792
Perhaps try asking around on chrono trigger fan sites? I definitely have never seen that cutscene before but my CT knowledge isn't that great really. The thing is CT is so beloved that it is a bit hard for me to think there is stuff not known about it today but that's just me. You very well may have made CT history.

I want to start on Far East of Eden: Tengai Makyô. Is the PCE-CD good enough for the first game or should I try to get the 360 port running?
Getting an emulator for Japanese phones and the game files feels like a futile endeavor.

>Jrpg died almost two years ago now and there's no more jrpg so let's try this.

What does this even mean?

God op, don't be so melodramatic.

Final Fantasy VI, IX and XII (remastered version coming soon)

>>3383507
I found FFIV (Original FFIV SNES Version or FFII localized)

and FFVI (Original FFVI SNES Version or FFIII localized)

Final Fantasy IX on PS1.

They're the three other ones other than VII that also has great directions and plots, I find~

>come to thread expecting FFVI wankery
>Find some reasonable advice

Fuck. Times are a changing. Are we not just constantly circlejerking FFVI any time Final Fantasy comes up?

Anyway, OP, if you're just looking for good story skip X-2 (decent mechanics, terrible story, pretty dresses). Compilation of FFVII has some good side games (I actually liked Crisis Core, despite it's massive flaws, for example), and IX is justifiably classic.

>How do you feel about the difficulty of retro games?
indifferent

>One thing I hear many people who enjoy retro games are that they are more difficult
they're bullshitting. There's a distinct difference between old and new games, but difficulty is not it.

>What do you think makes good difficulty?
fairness. The computer can be subject to a different ruleset, for AI purposes, but they need to be fair and consistent

>Do you think something like a fighting game has a higher difficulty then a "normal" difficult game?
what's a normal game?

>What would you say makes a game "unfair"?
Aspects playing on the difficulty of the input, and the computer being able to bypass obvious rules, especially in games where the computer is supposed to be a peer.

>What game would you say has the perfect difficulty?
no such game, largely because there's no perfect difficulty to begin with. There are excellent games that aren't difficult at all, and they work in part because of that; and there are games that will chew you up and spit you out, and they're awesome for it. What matters is that the whole thing is consistent about it.

>>3383476
The thing about retro games is that many of them don't have a save feature, or the system's scope limits how much content the game would have to be.

Many titles work around this by severely punishing the player, often forcing them to restart the entire game, to pad out how long it would take them to finish it. Arcade games are also designed to squeeze money out of the player, hence their tendency to have the player frequently killed.

Another thing is when an arcade game is ported to a system with the coin-milking difficulty intact. In an arcade you would typically have as many attempts at the game you would be willing to spend money on. If you have that same game on, say, the NES? That luxury is gone. You only have whatever continues the game hands you.

Nowadays with how powerful systems have become and the ability to save your progress being an expected, essentially crucial feature, many games have become more forgiving. This is because they can provide you with a lengthy, time-investing experience not through repetition, but by simply taking a long time to complete.

Compare Super Mario 3D World to Super Mario Bros.

3D World is easy as piss but still takes a very long time to 100% because there's so many levels and so many green stars. Meanwhile a child back in the day may have taken a roughly similar amount of time to beat SMB1, because of the amount of practice it would take to properly beat the game in one sitting without warps or cheats.

This change in focus over the years makes older games seem far more difficult, almost "unfair", to new players.

>>3383535
>Do you think something like a fighting game has a higher difficulty then a "normal" difficult game?
>what's a normal game?

This. What do you consider normal? Fighters are a specific case though since they're really designed to be played in multiplayer and the single player modes don't do the games justice.

Also perfect difficulty will always vary with individual players because different people won't all respond the same to any given challenge.

>>3383153
sci fi is fantasy

>>3383154
No it isn't, they are different genres.

Anyway, as to OP's question, I wish I knew.

>>3383157
fantasy
>the product of imagining impossible or improbable things.

sci fi is fantasy

Yes. Pokemon Go raised demand way, way up. Pokemon Red is going $50 loose.

>>3383038
do you think maybe after some months the prices might go down?

>>3383035
No.

Pokemon is insanely overpriced.

The games shouldn't be over 10-20 bucks.

People asking 25, 30, or more are insane.

They are not uncommon. They're really common, except maybe Yellow and Crystal which are more rare.
