It is a contender

Best looking is subjective.

>>10908316
Fuck off with your loli shit, pedo

>>10908312
no 3D game is good looking, even to this day
if you're talking about being technically impressive then yeah maybe it's VS

>>10908312
This guy looks pretty zesty ngl

I hate vocals in video game music

I'm glad more people are realizing that reload is trash and too easy.

What am I looking at, polygon clipping? My system still works.

>turn on us snes game
>thirteen trumpets start blasting out of nowhere with no rhythm or motion

Sonic 2, 3... Yeah the list goes on

>>10908126
Never got the hype of SNES Ocean soundtracks, obviously the Robocop NES theme is classic and there are some other gems, but I would take any platformer Kirby soundtrack a thousand times over stuff like Waterworld.

>>10908239
Also Majin Tensei II's is so good

chatgpt is this you?

>>10908224
actually okay alucard can do the last room before dracula i guess but grant's jumps make the bats irrelevant and that's not a concern in the jpn version anyway

>>10908224
>>10908225
Grant is so fucking cool. I wish more games had extra playable characters that took established mechanics and threw them out the window. Trevor+Grant best combo all day every day.

>>10908224
>>10908234
>He used Grant
You also didn't beat the game

>>10908259
What, did you take Sypha with her borderline nuke spells?
Or are you claiming that you're a big boy and did Trevor only?

>>10908262
>Sypha
bitch don't make laugh ffs...if you don't make a solo run with trevor over each route, you didn't really beat the game.

>>10907921
Because Rare thought they found a clever exploit and nobody told them it wouldn't work on newer models until it was too late.

>>10907921
muh innovation

>>10907921
Western game developers prioritize technical wankery over making good games.

>>10907903
Is a loli nothing can beat a loli since are the most powerful creatures

Virgin power.

>>10908086
>implying

>>10907903
It makes sense if you take into account that Terra is only at half power when in her human form. In Esper form, she is the most powerful Magic caster in the game and it's not even close. She also has access to the best equipment on top of that. Honestly, Terra is pretty fucking broken when you know how to wield her properly, so much so that she can solo the entire final battle even at relatively low levels.

>>10907954
Relm doesn't have the best equipment draw, but I wouldn't go as far as to say it sucks. She has the best helmet in the game in the Cat Hood, and most of her equipment boosts her already high Magic stat even higher, or she can opt for equipment that gives her max Mblock to make her nearly invincible. If she has a downside, it's the fact that due to her skill sucking hard, you HAVE to invest time into teaching her good Magic.

EGM February 1994. The PSX abbreviation referring to the pre-release system stuck when people referred to the system after its release.

It hit at just the right time. Graeme Base's Animalia just released in 1986 and was a smash hit of a children's book. Kids were suddenly interested in picture books, as long as the pictures were very detailed. I remember as late as 1995 kids at school were still interested in buying Where's Waldo in Hollywood at the school book fair, along with The 11th Hour and Looking for Atlantis.

>>10907928
Where's Wally books were the one thing that could make any kid concentrate on something, every kid including myself would drop what we were doing to see if we could find him once one got opened.

>>10907928
I'm 90s kid and those detailed look and find books were huge in my youth as well. I Spy took it to another level with the photoshoots of practical scenes, but Look-Alikes was also good. I have it on good authority that there are still books like that being printed, but they're all illustrated. I think after I Spy Treasure Hunt came out in 1999 everyone in the children's book industry decided they couldn't top it.

not retro

been hooked on retroachievements for almost a year now. It's been fun, and now that they updated the site to include progression tracking I can essentially use it as a backloggery.
I started interacting with the community and sometimes I see a few people posting in greentext format, I'm not sure if they're from here or if the act of greentexting has entered the normalfag zeitgeist.

>>10907606
My only problem is that achievemnts are being established by the third party.

>>10907606
That's fucking dumb I hated that shit so much I stopped buying consoles. Back in the day getting completions got you bonus levels, bonus modes, or even a stupid costume or palate swap or character or whatever, FMV's even. Then achievements come out, and ruin everything so now all you get is a shitty jpg that doesn't mean jack shit.

>>10907606
I just see it as a checklist of what stuff there is to do in a game, personally.

>>10907606
I always hated this addition to modern vidya. It just seems superficial and autistic. IDK how normalfags ate it up.

why do some people get so triggered about wojaks here? They've been posted on this website probably since before they were born

>wojakfag
I'll humor you for a bit before telling you to fuck off and die

Superman 64 "flying through rings" is bad because the controls are fucking dogshit and the game is so bland that it outright feels like an alpha prototype, not a finished game

Nights "flying through rings" is good because it's actually fun and SOVLful

now fuck off and die
all fields

>>10907618
Nights is kind of gay. Also, why do some people get so triggered about wojaks here? They've been posted on this website probably since before they were born

>The ad says data bus, so probably that.

'Bit' marketing could get a little dicey at times.Sega marketed by CPU. But I think Atari went by data bus. Can both of those Tom and Jerry chips deliver 64bits worth of Data?

2^32 = 4294967296,
4294967296 x 2 =
8589934592.

2^64 = 1.8446744e+19.

Wow, that is not even close.

>>10907635
>even Intel tried before AMD with the Itanium which failed spectacularly.
>What if we make an architecture that is incompatible with 70% of the code currently being run on existing machines?
>What a genius idea, let's do it!
And they had the nerve to sabotage AMD's superior solution. And even then, AMD still managed to get their version adopted as the new standard.

>>10908030
>'Bit' marketing
yeh that is all there was to it, pure marketing, who and when started the fad I don't know, I know it stopped between the 5th and 6th gen.
btw "bits" don't really add up like this anon maths (do the math! lol) >>10907746, there was no such math to be done beyond marketing purposes
>>10907896

>>10908030
The data bus is 64 bits wide but the processors are not. That data bus links all the processors (68K, tom+jerry) to the memory.

>>10907468

FF5 is basically the previous two games put together. That's not really a secret. It continues with the extensive narrative and ATB of 4 but brings back the job system and the crystals trope of 3. Part of the reason it feels like the black sheep of the SNES games is that it was explicitly a "back to the roots" approach while 4 and 6 were both progressing the series further to what it would later become.

Every FF game has parallels with the first game.

>>10907695
>to what it would later become
shit?

>>10907972
essentially, yes

>>10907385
i played the SNES version of this game again recently and its horrendous. Arcade version was decent though

SEEE MY POWAAAAAH

this one + sega's spiderman arcade beat em up.
comicbookfags ate good tbqh

i've 1cc'd ever arcade game i've ever tried

my talent is a curse

>>10907645
HA-HAHAHA

>>10907346
LOL Good one! You mind if I repost this for the grandkids on Facebook?

Same vibe.

>>10907753
The Poets II is so fucking good.

Streets of Rage Remake lets you play the game without the cancer.

>>10907315
I like the game, it has multiple endings, cool stuff to unlock, the ability to run and a charge bar.
>>10907753
For me its Shinobi Reverse, one of my favorite boss fights.

SoRR is badass, but the system changes from SoR3 are really fucking me up. I had learned to rely on the invincibility from grand upper too much, and am now getting owned lol. Having to work on my fundamentals more, which is ultimately a good thing. Any tips for a scrub trying to get better?

>>10907918
You could just play as the more powerful characters like Shiva or Rudra until you get a bit better at the game, I guess. There's no way to easily get better in general at these types of games other than playing more.

Well, at least Romero had a happy childhood.

I'm not afraid to die. times I welcomed death.

>>10907892
>I'm not afraid to die
they all say that until they realize the last time they saved their game was 1983

>>10907371
In what year?

>>10907584
You sound deeply conflicted.

>>10907271
Of course they do, they love bukkake after all.

It’s a virtual pet. You raise your seaman and talk to it and evolve it through several stages until it’s mature, and you have to figure out how to do that. It insults you or makes weird remarks every day.
Nothing Yoot Saito ever made is shovelware. The people on this board who keep repeating that term should leave and quit playing games, because they clearly don’t enjoy them.

>>10907958
He was saying Shenmue is shovelware.

Work on your reading comprehension, it really helps when you're on a website where 99% of communication is through text.

>>10908142
well he is still correct
a minigame collection pretending to be an adventure game that goes nowhere
but we pretend it's a big game because it took a long time to develop and a lot of money

>>10908129
tamagochi but 3D
it's sega crap so it cannot be shovelware
you people are just pathetic

>>10907386
No CD games with the regular Turbo Everdrive and clones

>>10907379
Some furry hacked their genesis mini to run the turbografx mini OS via USB, but never made a tutorial on how on do it.

>>10907340
>and can easily be hacked.
The hack hasn't been released to the general public yet.

If you’re going the everdrive route might as well go coregrafx + ever drive + edfx attachment, you’ll be able to play cd games loaded on the ever drive and output the cd audio in stereo with the edfx plus it has rgb out. The pc engine is awesome and under appreciated, you won’t be disappointed by it.

>>10907331
It’s old now so I imagine there’s a better alternative but I still use the emulator Ootake. Very straightforward for playing hu cards but If you’re playing the cd games you will need daemontools (or a similar program) to mount the iso files which is easy but it’s an extra step
