Harlock posted:This game looks really neat. The Saturn got some interesting games. It honestly kind of reminds me of Front Mission: Gun Hazard. Then there's Assault Suits Valken 2 which looks kind of like a Front Mission SRPG. There's a good reason for that: the Front Mission series was created by Toshiro Tsuchida, who was also the producer on Cybernator/Assault Suits Valken. He didn't work on Leynos 2, though, and I didn't like it as much as Cybernator. The controls aren't as tight and the level design isn't as interesting.

Can anyone link me to the article discussing SNES emulation (and emulation at large) in regards to how it is displayed on the computer and the different filters that make this "more authentic" ? I've read BSNES's statement about accurat emulation, but they do not discuss the visual aspect beyond rendering (and what certain emulators fail to render) or in terms of output via computer.

Assault Suit Leynos if I remember right was a strategy spinoff of the Valken series and thus doesn't play like Valken at all. Speaking of Masaya titles, one Genesis game they made that's worth a play is Wings of Wor/Gynoug. It has some loving weird bosses and enemies. Also I think some of the sound effects got reused in Gleylancer (which is also a really good game)

Actually, Leynos is a predecessor of Valken/Cybernator and is also a 2D shooter/platformer. It came out over here as Target Earth, and it looks hard as balls. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqPGfU-Ix7A It's relatively cheap, too. Looks like I might have to find a complete copy to add to my collection.

It's just as much a part of retro gaming as the software is. Hahahahaha I am trying to make the OP more game talkin', that's why I suggested that tier rating thing. Going to update the op with other good information like best place to get retro games and other stuff.

Katana Gomai posted:Trip report! So I was at the Retrobörse in Bochum, Germany today and while it was pretty much what I expected (picture the commons of a dorm stuffed with people trying to sell old video games), the prices were pretty ridiculous and that means this was the last time I went there. Now I get that stuff costs more when you go to these events and I absolutely don't mind paying for the benefit of seeing the item in person first; however, when I say ridiculous, I mean "60€ for a cartridge only Kirby Superstar that you can get for 25€ on eBay" ridiculous. What's Vicas doing in there?

Angry Video Game Nerd movie trailer finally out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiz95K1ngiI&feature=youtube_gdata_player Looks good for his tiny budget. Seems like a spoof on action movies "what are all these boxes doing here" as he drives through them on the street, and it looks like a "misunderstood comedy" because he's looking for buried E.T. carts in Mexico but authorities think he's looking for an actual E.T. in nearby Roswell. Thought you guys might like to be aware of its existence. I'd also love a list of good retro shows for the OP. Only good ones I know of are AVGN, Clan of the Grey Wolf, and Gamester81 (that guy has to be a billionaire with that collection) .

I decided to give retro gaming a try after my parents found my old SNES with copy of FF 2 and A Link to the Past. The first console I want to buy is a TG-16 and an original Xbox. This weekend I am going on a hunt! I will be posting pictures, updates, and questions as they come up. It's made me all tingly in the pants.

Also, Chrontendo, Chronsega, and Chronturbo are great if you're interested in NES, Master System, and TG16 games that are obscure, underrated, classics, and/or never officially saw the light of day outside of Japan, Europe, and the US. Not every episode of Chrontendo are on YouTube as far as I can tell (the link I gave wasn't uploaded by the guy who makes these), but you can find any that are missing with a quick Google search.

Funny you should mention that, because I just happened to pick up a copy of this for £11 (€13/$17) the other day. I already have a copy, but I can't say no at that sort of price.  I was thinking of just turning it round for a quick £10-15, but every single listing for a PAL copy of this, cart only is going for £45+. It screams of artificial inflation, because I remember checking this only recently and it's been selling for far less. Even on completed listings, people are getting boxed copies for around that price.

Harlock posted:PE2 is actually really fun and a decent Resident Evil RPG-lite clone. But the original Parasite Eve was so much better though, and the story barely has anything to do with the first game. I'm sure the game is better then my memory serves, but when that game came out I was hugely disappointed.

There actually is a St. Vincent De Paul where I grew up, though the few times I've been in it I've always come up empty for games. Nonetheless, I may plan a visit there when I go home for the holidays. Also you watch your whore mouth about PE2.

I hit the local stores today and didn't find anything too good. I almost picked up Rad Racer 1 and 2 and a CIB copy of Sunset Riders (Genesis) for $16, but I passed in the end. I might swing by and pick them all up tomorrow because it's weighing on my mind. Does anyone know what the definitive version of Bart Vs. The Space Mutants is? I remember playing it on the NES as a child, but my local store has a copy for Genesis.
