Thoughts on this publisher?
toy company that released a ton of shovelware and occassionally not too bad games, but I still don't think I ever saw a great game published by them, they didn't hire the best developers out there.

The PC-8801 looks pretty good if you ask me, be it the unit itself, the keyboard or the monitor. The mkII and later models do look good too, but the first model look the best though.
I played Ys Origin (my first Ys game) from a friend's game library and after finishing it, I decided to get more into the series.
I started playing Ys 1 for the Sega Master System and I spent all my starting gold (1000g) on a healing potion. Is it too late to buy a starting sword? Did I already get myself stuck?
turbografx version is better
So far, the fighting system where you just touch enemies to hurt them is pretty interesting.
Why didn't you save before? Or just start over?

Pretty interesting video. I hope this means sound emulation gets better, at the very least.
Was about to post this thread
I think sound emulator is the least of what this excites me about it, the possibilities of this thing seem pretty astounding

Hello fellow 4channers
I was wondering if any of you can help me remember the name of a rather old game, that could possibly belong to the SNES list. Here are the tips (bare with my format, please):
* The game scenario was something like an arena in open outter space.
* There were two fighting sides, each with their own type of spaceships.
* Each side had 12 battle space ships, if I remember correctly.
* The only game mode, I believe, was a 1v1 match that pitted spaceship vs spaceship until one of the fighting sides had last all his spaceships.
* Among the "good guys", there were three spaceships that I remember:
- Siren, a rather yellow and cylindrical spaceship with the ability to steal health from the enemy and give it to herself;
- A round spaceship, small and agile, that aimed the shots by itself, but was low on health, range and damage;
- The good guys' capital ship was green (and, of course, huge).
* The bad guys had a violet spaceship as their capital ship. It drawed health from itself in order to fire.
* Each ship had two status bars: one would show remaining hp, and the other would show remaining energy that could be used to move, shoot, and use a special ability.
* It was incredibly fun. :D
Does this rings a bell to someone? I've tried google for a long time without success.

Star Control. You remember some things right(Syreen ship, Arilou ship, Ur-Quan ship), but there were more game modes than just the melee(though that IS the most popular mode to play). The first one's on the Genesis(as well as PC and a few other systems), not the SNES. Also, the Ur-Quan(big green ship) are the bad guys, not the good guys(though you learn more about them if you play the sequel and find...they're not THAT bad, comparatively).

don't use zsnes, it's shit. there have been better emulators for over a decade

Anybody ever play this? The most expensive super famicom game, It's half Turrican, half Thunderforce, with some gorgeous graphics.
It has a reputation for being very difficult, but it's pretty fair.

>but it's pretty fair.
Fuck no. A good part, not all, is memorisation in the worst kind of way. But I still liked it, just wished it had good music.
>>3368337
>A good part, not all, is memorisation in the worst kind of way
I'd argue only one of the shooter levels requires a lot of memorization, the one with the hordes of missiles and waves of enemies.
You can bust your way through most of the game with the spread shot or the bouncy shot.
You can mostly beat the bosses just by abusing the smart bombs, especially the green bomb or the blue super laser. Not only that but smart bombs recharge over time.

Do you think the combat system is a product of its time, or was it worse than its competition?
It was just Dragon Quest with PSI instead of spells. And the added rolling HP mechanic which kinds of adds a sort of "tension" time limit to it, but still pretty much DQ. It's fine.
>Attack
>Item
>Magic
>Run
That's literally every JRPG ever made. If you want good combat, you don't play JRPG's.

Plenty of JRPG's have good combat. None of the good ones are related to final fantasy.
