so I've been playing SFIII scenario 2:
Zero leaving after 2 fights only to come back seriously underleveled, even though Birdman are the hardest ones to level up to begin with.
>Donhort
Elbesem villagers, I learnt my lesson from the first game and saved them all... only to fight out I was supposed to NOT save the thief and missed out on a reward. Real fuck you move.
Elbesem temple, the fucking electricity discharge machinery... which you have to wait out their animation every turn. Oh and you wanna know the best part? I start with my whole 12 team + Donhort tagging along, then save Robby in the treasury. So that was 14 men for that fight. I decide to Egresss so that I wouldn't have to re-do the treasury, and because of the electricity discharge I had already used up quite a bit of healing, only to find out that of course now it's only 13 (12+Donhort), not only that but that shit is bugged as no matter what I would do Julian wouldn't join, if I tried to bring him alone I'd just get 11+Donhort instead of 12.
Followed by also having to wait out on every Rainblood doing their own thing in the next fight...
Followed by that fucking canon fight
Holy shit the game took a nosedive starting from the mid game. I just want some NORMAL fights. Now I'm dreading what comes next; and because of this shit there isn't any "normal" situation where I can even grind some of my under leveled guys like Zero. I bought the bullet and Promoted him at lvl 12 but of course he's still shit, just a bit less shit.
>boring minigames
>boring fetch quest filler
>constant backtracking
>upgrades that gate progression
who the fuck asked for any of this shit? This fucking sucks
What the fuck am I listening to? How did we go from the sublime soundtracks of the first two games to this?
Currently playing pokemon crystal clear and it's thoroughly enjoyable but lacking story
Probably going to play pokemon clover and the super mario /v/orld saga afterwards
Shill me your best romhacks lads
I can see that its ported to Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, Commodore 16, Game Boy Color, IBM PC compatibles, NEC PC-8801, Nintendo Entertainment System, and ZX Spectrum.
which one is best that has improved the design over the arcade original?
I guess it was one of those "you had to be there" situations where it was fun with friends

>pachinko controllers for those games
What's the point?
>pic somewhat related, it's in a pachinko parlor.
How is this everyone's favorite dungeon, it's indicative of how basic dungeon design is in this game.

IT!
WON'T!
WORK!!!
>becomes popular
>"I don't like it anymore!"
Which one was it for you, fellow NPCs?
oh lord it's over
What's the best solution nowadays? Some pendrive stuff?
How did they do it?
https://youtu.be/K97cL-4sDJg
Includes MK1, 2, 3, Ultimate3, 4 (arcade and console versions of those except for 4 which is Arcade only) and handheld versions of those games plus MK Advance, Deadly Alliance and Tournament Edition for GBA, more stuff announced soon.
Game also will have online netplay with rollback netcode.
Sadly its made by Digital Eclipse who made Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection and Samurai Shodown NeoGeo Collection, which were below average compendiums with tons of issues.

If you judged these libraries individualy, which one be the best one?

What does /vr/ think? I'd be interested in this but I'd want more games released like House of the Dead or Ninja Assault.
Feel free to talk about the genre and mention any good lightgun games.
What's your experience with CeX? I don't know what it's like in the UK, but in Australia it's a mixed bag. Software is surprisingly cheap and you can get some pretty desirable games in the $20-50 price range. However, you can just as easily end up with a heavily scratched up disc.
As for hardware, only buy from CeX as a last resort: their controllers are mushy, drifty, brittle, and several buttons may not work. They don't properly test their stuff and their return policy is absolute garbage too because they only refund you with store credit (which is illegal here, lol). Consoles are also ridiculously expensive at CeX; do not buy.
Their inventory infrastructure is kinda bad too since I made a pickup order online, but once I got to the actual store they didn't have the component cables I wanted. I guess God is telling me that composite is the one true path, and I'm inclined to agree.
I always hear the question asked about Dreamcast and Saturn but never ol' Mushroomhead
I've saved multiple times, entered the OSD, the "Saving..." text appeared and then it said saved like it should, and then I even waited about a minute before shutting off. And every single fucking time, it's gone, no block on the memory card and the game acts like it's a fresh game. I've saved multiple times, entered OSD multiple times, I have no clue how it's not saved.
All the other games I've played on it have saved totally fine (I did lose one session with Crash 2, but I think that was just my own error, not waiting long enough or something).
What the fuck is going on? Am I missing something? Is this a known issue?
The only thing I can think is I went into memory card screen of PS1 OS to delete files and both Memcard 1 and 2 are the same mirrored card, which makes no sense because Memcard 1 and 2 on MiSTer are supposed to have their own unique saves. Then to delete it, I had to delete it on both sides, which worked, but maybe it corrupted something?
This is pissing me off though, how does MiSTer fuck up something emus have done fine for decades?
>it's western!!!!!!!
Yeah, we know dweebs. This is about nostalgia. Anyway what monster did you like best if you were an American kid in the 90s playing this?
For me, it was Vertigo.
the best Zelda game in terms of originality, aesthetics, lore, OST. etc.
the FF7 of Zelda games (if you think it's OOT you have never played this game)
Good or bad, please post all the ball games you can think of. Ideally you roll around as a ball (but not necessarily) and also there has to be game physics.
I just watched a video about ball games. The creator mentioned a few games and I will post the names and screenshots next. I thought the video was kind of funny so if you're interested here is the link:

PS. Final Fantasy tactics looks really fun making me want to play the whole series
Here's a museum of every known Super Gameboy boarder.
Do any of these catch your eye at all? If so, post 'em.
>Luigi's Mansion was considered a joke of a launch title
>Sunshine wasn't as good as SM64
>Wind Waker looked like a cartoon
>Metroid Prime wasn't "as good as" Halo
>Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door for having turn based combat
>1.4GB discs
If you never beat Sonic & Knuckles stand alone on real hardware, you didn't beat the game.
The SNES Movie game is really annoying, jumping between foreground and background is tedious as is contact damage against every enemy, and the Mega Drive games are even worse, a shitty fighting game and the beat em up with worst enemy variety ever made.
Ask and you shall find out!
I have over a dozen copies of this now.
The world is huge, but there is almost nothing to find in it except some cave with an ice rod.
It's not a bad game, it's just not the masterpiece people pretend it is.

Retro games where this occurs?
Pic randomly chosen
PC gamers should praise Microsoft and DirectX as the face of PC gaming (popularized affordable PCs and created it's best and nearly sole operating system for gaming) and not Valve (made a fucking webshop)
I'm mainly looking for 2025 because I've heard 1616 hold way less power and games like Pokemon Silver draw a lot of power.
there's a server fulfilled with ai-powered players
so you're joining this server. it downloads almost nothing (except for some songs which are typical for russian servers). in technical aspects this server is really good (dynamic change of day/night and weather).
we (me with my friends who i asked to play css for some 2011 vibes) were playing on this server and at some point things become quite creepy.
two or three players almost at the same time were telling my friend something and all of them typed his nickname with SAME mistakes.
after this we noticed the VC and people there who were talking absolute word salad
after this we made out that this server is ai-powered. i started asking random players as an answer to their messages something. no response
at some point i asked about bots and players started to get crazy. (everything about this is on the pic)
that's it. i don't know if those are real players who were trolling us (with answers in 3-5 minutes after message and same mistakes in nickname from everyone. yeah sure)
This dude used some ancient 64DD 3D modelling software (on real hardware) to model a level and then put it in Super Mario 64.
How are N64 modders this insane? It feels like they never run out of dumb (and cool) shit to try.
>Tomb Raider 1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-kRKYEC92c
>Kingdom Hearts
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ntgal0cqOg
>Metal Gear Solid
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLft3CwwP-k
>Pokémon Red/Blue
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGG_Hk1a78k
>You can only talk about games and systems made before the US release of the NES (1985). Everything before it from the CRT Amusement Device to stuff like Marble Madness is cool here. Later and homebrew ports for Pre-NES games are allowed (e.g. Jr. Pac-Man was released in arcades in 1983 but the 2600 port came out in 1986).
>That's it.
Thoughts on Radar Scope? Personally, I think it's just okay. I'd rather play Galaxian over it.
![button-overlay-right-lr[1]](https://i.4cdn.org/vr/1749133188683540s.jpg)
>still the best ''metroidvania'' ever made
How did Iga do it? This entire game is near perfect.
>9mm. safety, always off.
>told me he was proud of me once. fuckin' prick.
It makes most other games look shit in comparison. This game is like a glitch in the matrix or something.
It had no right to be this fucking good.
What fan missions have you been playing?
Any fan missions you are looking forward too?
What's your favorite moment in any OM/FM?
I would have posted a longer video with sound but yeah.
