I dunno about the whole "Inafune didn't create Mega Man" thing that I seem to keep seeing lately, though. Kitamura did make a sprite of Mega Man first, it's true, but Inafune designed what we now think of as Mega Man today in official art, based off of that sprite. Had it been anyone else, Mega Man could have looked very different. Just look at how the Mega Man from Captain N turned out based on someone else's interpretation of the in-game sprite with nothing else to go on. So at the very least, I think Inafune should at least be credited as co-creator, if nothing else, even if people are really upset with him as of late.

Shitting on Inafune has become a meme. A lot of people who dump on him probably have only a vague idea of who he is, just that he is hated and therefore they should hate him as well. And, I completely agree with you. He did do a lot of illustration for the series and played a part in the iconic art style. He also gave us Zero. The way some talk about it you'd think that he had no involvement with the franchise besides "taking credit" and having his name slapped on the game. I wonder how many people shit on Disney saying "NUH-UH you don't deserve any credit, Disney company! Snow White was a story BEFORE you made your conartist hack job movie!"

Disney has consistently made my least favorite adaptations of the Grimm's Fairytales tbqhwy famicom

(my favorite is actually an extremely hard to find adaptation of the Golden Bird made in the early 80s in Japan, though all I can find now is a trimmed down Finnish dub)

Hi /vr/, I come from /g/ seeking your help.

I am trying to get Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit to run on Ubuntu 14.04 and it's giving me a hard time.

I've tried installing it via PlayonLinux which, after some workarounds, ended with me being able to access the menu and load up a race, but the game then crashed when the track was loaded (but before it was displayed).

Now I set up a VM with Windows 98 SE, installed SciTech Display Doctor to have access to resolutions other than 640x480 16 colors (not 16 bit, 16 colors = 4 bit). Now my display is set to 800x600 True Color which is nice.
Need for Speed was installed without any problems but when I try to start the game the screen flashes black for a fraction of a second and that's it. When I open up 3dsetup (which should let me choose the graphics driver) I can only choose "Software Renderer".

Can anyone help me with this? I don't have access to my old PC from back when.

Why do adventure game fans hate Myst?
53 posts and 6 images submitted.
>>
I wouldn't hold the opinion of adventure game fans in high regard as they're the type of autists that don't like Grim Fandango based on the way it controls (completely forgetting the brilliant writing, setting, graphics, style, music, etc)

Myst however commercialized the genre in a way that hadn't been seen before, and I assume for an adventure game fan popular=bad

Pretty sure you meant to say
"Why do adventure game fans love Myst?"
For maximum trolling potential

the game lacks a visible protagonist and a clear narrative (it has one, but it's told more indirectly). Most of the puzzles are isolated and not natural aspects of the game world

I want to pour a lot of hours on a comfy retro JRPG this Summer, so options are these games, Dragon Warrior 7 or Xenogears for the PSX

I just really want a decent story and combats and the sensation of being part of an adventure.

What sick finds have you found on eBay?

I'm about to win a Mega man X for SFC on ebay for $11.50, beats paying $30.00+

http://www.ebay.com/itm/371661093764?_trksid=p2046732.m570.l5998&_trkparms=gh1g%3DI371661093764.N35.S2.R1.TR2

I also won a North American Mega Man X2 loose cart for $21.00 a couple weeks ago. That felt good.

I found a ClearTunes prison inmate issued game console a few months back, that was pretty cool.

Is n64 emulation still garbage?

>During the Atari 7800’s life cycle, Atari found themselves struggling to get developers to create 7800 versions of then-popular arcade titles because of a controversial policy employed by Nintendo. When Nintendo revived the industry, they signed up software development companies to create Nintendo Entertainment System games under a strict license agreement which imposed serious restrictions on what they were allowed to do. One of the key clauses was that companies who made Nintendo games were not allowed to make that game on a competing system for a period of two years. Because of the market success of the Nintendo Entertainment System, companies chose to develop for it first and were thus barred from developing the same games on competing systems for two years. The software libraries of the Atari 7800 and Sega Master System suffered tremendously as a result.

So in an alternate history where Nintendo never employed their retarded licensing policies, do you think Atari and Sega could have been much more successful companies in the long run? What sort of implications do you think this would have had on subsequent generations of gaming?

Anymore, emulation. Its just too damn convent. And being able to save state in games that lack proper saving makes it so I can actually have a chance to play thru them since I get such a small amount of time per day that I can fuck around with games (being an adult sucks)

OoT was so great. The meme is to hate it now or deny its excellence and that's so utterly retarded and wrong. It's the second best Zelda after LA and it's highly unlikely that this will ever change. Majora's Mask is terrible, just so we're clear.

Comfiest game.

My only gripe is having to remember a lot of stuff, or to keep notes, because of how quickly the focus changes. An ability to keep notes in-game would be nice (i.e. "waiting for a blacksmith in this colony", "these Indians currently trade in tobacco, rum and coats" etc.) I wonder if FreeCol addresses this already, or if it's possible to mod this in.
