I was also curious what were other viable options to get into Mega Drive imports, or am I better off buying a Japanese Mega Drive?
I see there's top loading passthrough carts on eBay/Amazon for $30, but I've read some games like Bare Knuckle II don't work on different region consoles.
Has anyone also tried those modern Master System adapter carts?
Can you name some?
What about picrel for examples?

Got a couple of recommendations from it that I was wondering if anybody has played because they sounded neat.
Once I finish my current run of TearRing Saga I'll try some of these out myself, but just curious if anybody has played this or has any other PS2 games they want to talk about

you go to a bar and talk to the barman and he'll offer snacks.. and it's all onions food.
ask for a non-alcoholic drink, and he'll give you orange soda. and it's always orange soda.
and all the alcohol is either a bottle of wine or a dirty looking 40 oz.
there's nothing immersive about the menus in Deus Ex at all. food is a cornerstone of human day-to-day living. we have to find food to eat every day.
that's why i believe that Deus Ex showing off a very minimal display of food and beverage goes against its own goal of being an immersive sim. i get taken out of the world every time i look at a restaurant's table and just see onions food and soda everywhere. it's stupid.
please talk about my favorite series

Relax, talk and play. Let's have a good thread.
Oddysee had this tightness and fairness in its design, whereas Exoddus is a lot more bloated and retreads the same ground, even if it's still great
I find this title funny, it's almost like Sunsoft knew they wouldn't get the rights for Batman Returns, that Konami and SEGA would get it instead, and decided to milk the license as much as possible, so even though Joker died at the end of the film, they decided to make their own original sequel where he's alive and well! Anyways, it's good, in a lot of ways it feels like their own NES Batman, with the wall jump and all, the grappling hook feels worse than the one on Master System and Game Gear Batman Returns, but it's fine once you get the hang of it. I found this title really hard though... the 1st one was bad enough with the autoscrolling leven in 4-2, but this? All levels are filled with BS and, unlike the 1st title, this has limited continues, so eventually you'll get sent back to the title screen, which can be very frustrating really.
It's brutal, but I beat it... on Easy... with save states at the start of each level... I didn't save scum though! But I'm still ashamed, I have to try it out legit at some point, it's a fun title, but man... it's a difficult one too.

The sundays were the best for me. The saturdays were more exciting because it was new, but on sunday I had already played and got used to the game, so I enjoyed it the most.
Bonus points: It's a rainy sunday.
would be pissed if it died during saving and corrupted the save
Also I don't know who I'm going to want to marry, Ann, Maria, or Ellen. Ellen's so fucking hot.
Any other examples besides pic related?

7. **Half-Life** (1998, PC)
8. **GoldenEye 007** (1997, Nintendo 64)
9. **Diablo** (1996, PC)
Wish they made still made straight forward games like this.
-Morrigan Aensland, Darkstalkers.
In Ultima VII if somebody closes a shutter because it's night time and you open it, they will bustle outside and close it again.
I guess I need to make an exception for Dwarf Fortress, a game driven entirely by NPCs with deep needs, desires, and so on. But it's not really an RPG except in adventure mode.

This game was amazing. I remember my sister getting this for my birthday by having to go to the nearest city near us, and found the EBGames at the mall. She found it in the back part of the store and it was one of the last copy there.
Goddamn, me and my bro played the fuck out of this and unlocked so many characters with their 5th level weapons.
Music and gameplay was rad too.
Anyone else fucking love this game?
I create "All Games" folder but nothing.
Someone know how ?
Post some ps1/ps2 ones pls
>it’s because you’re in a tourist zone!!1!
I’m not. I went to a doc appt and stopped here while waiting for my prescription. No tourists come around here. Shops check online for pricing, so even non-tourist areas are expensive now. But yes, Akihabara (or similar) would be way worse. And not just tourists—online auctions have also driven prices up.
>stop being a poorfag and just buy it
I already own it. I have a large library so rising prices don’t affect me much. I just miss the old days.
>you’re part of the problem
Yes, probably. If I buy a game there’s one less on the market. I get that.
>just emulate
I do, but I also like real hardware. Both have pros/cons, so I use both.
>you can still get that game cheap
This is an extreme example—I even found another copy here for less—but retro games in general are going up. Even 5000 yen is way more than a few years ago. Hell, they had Ikki for 3000 yen, and that game literally spawned the word “Kusoge.” Nobody should pay that.
>you’re a hoarder
Probably. So what?
>this isn’t your blog, faggot
It is now.
I got a Nushitsuri game for a few hundred yen and a Mega Drive game I read about online last night CIB for ~2000 yen. Prices weren’t bad on those, so deals still exist—but they’re rarer. And it sucks seeing games I bought for dirt cheap become expensive. And I especially hate seeing mass-produced games locked in the case w/ rares—that shit should be the cheapest.
Games have become a collectable now, and that sucks. But I don't blame people who are actually playing them.
I used the Composite filter here on Kega Fusion and it looks really good.
Maybe a lot of the visual effect of CRT screens is not just in the spacing between pixels, but also in the limitations of the composite cable itself.
Im having fun but it sure is tough
>can't fight CPU
>for some reason can't return to main screen without resetting console
>there are still basically no RetroArch cores where cheat codes work
And now you're telling me that not only they kept that system, but now the life streams don't even respawn so all you're left with are small flasks that restore half a bar?! You'd have to replay the first level 10 TIMES just to replenish HP, and you can't even just pick up the first one and exit no, you have to play the entire level or else you're back to your previous HP ammount
This is some serious bullshit
>Gets all my interest, extensive research and I get immersive in the game
>Retro Western game
>All my interest is gone
Does this happen to you as well?
I've played:
Crash Bandicoot trilogy
Croc
Dr. Slump
Goemon games (all 4 of them)
Jumping Flash trilogy
Rayman
Spyro trilogy
The Adventures of Lomax
also MediEvil and Ape Escape, MMX4 and MM8, but I don't think they count as pure platformers

They are this very weird mix of retarded, genius, repulsive and adorable.

Am I fucked? I know the game made it clear this was a point of no return, but I didn’t expect anything like this, the other 50 hours were a total breeze.
Its just hard for me to see left and say "yup its definitely retro" but see right and not think "yup its definitely retro".
I find that it's a pretty rare thing of me but when it happens I know I'm playing something really special.

Me the following 3 things:
1. First the most important one: to add female zombies. In the prison area to add some female zombies with big breasts, long legs and big butts wearing female prisoner uniforms and long red hair. In the "mansion" zone to add some female zombies with big breast, long legs and big butts wearing maid uniforms with short skirts and with black hair. In the laboratory zone some female zombies with big breast, long legs and big butts wearing scientist suits with cleavage and blonde hair.
2. To add as a prize infinite submachine gun at the start of a new game no matter the rank in the previous one.
3. If you shoot a zombie with a magnum, his/her head explodes. If you shoot a zombie with a shotgun,is cut in half like in resident evil 2.
When did you get yours?
What was your first game and what is your favorite?
Did you ever go online?
What's a special moment that sticks with you?
