I'm watching FunkDoc do emulator runs of arcade games I've owned PCBs of (including Bucky O'Hare and DD Crew)and everything looks like the flattest poo poo  PS3 576i over RGB to PVM = despite the resolution everything gains depth previously unseen. Demons's Souls is one of many stunning examples. Taking care of input-lag doesn't do the trick for me. I'm lost. Gonna need a proper HD PVM sooner or later.

fishmech posted:Yeah the site I pulled that from mentioned the "Yellow Label" Sonic 1 was quite unusual: http://assemblergames.com/l/threads/sonic-1-japanese-mega-drive-yellow-label.52537/ My guess is that it was some kind of bundle cart or send away. I can't say I care enough to go searching the Japanese side of the web for details, though. Harlock posted:My favorite Genesis title: NOT FOR RESALE The Star Fox cart I got from Babbages had a "NOT FOR RESALE" label on the top of it. I thought about taking it back since they obviously sold me some kind of used goods as new, but then I thought that a "not for resale" version might be something special and never did. From what I understand, it was the exact same code on the cart anyway.

Or a rental if it was from one of those time periods where renting was legal in Japan. I know there's some assorted variants floating around for different systems where rental versions had alternate art put on by the rental company, kind of like how 90's Hollywood Video would slap those huge silver stickers on everything.

Send an email to chortleatjokersboner@gmail.com and we'll work it out. Anyone else who might want a eprom of a game or two, let me know. Sorry, I don't have any 27c080.

I'm pretty sure the game rental situation in Japan was settled in the early 1980s long before the 16-bit era really kicked off. The ban said that game publishers could individually offer their games for rent, if they chose, but few were apparently interested in doing so.

On the subject of game soundtracks I've recently been wanting to talk about two songs in particular that just really bring me back to the time they were around. These are songs from two games that I never played, and never heard of, up until a couple years ago. I don't know what it is, but they really stood out the first time I played them. The first song is from Astal. https://youtu.be/tBOuuI-htzE?list=LL8THfCDgBfurdycMYJ_nnRg Something about this song in particular just really reminds of gaming in the mid-90s, at least some of the CD quality music. The second song is from Alundra. https://youtu.be/Ww-YhMfRvVY?list=LL8THfCDgBfurdycMYJ_nnRg Same thing with song, especially with the "oohah" parts. How did I miss this game when I was younger? What gaming music immediately brings you back?

I knew what song you would link from Astal even without listening, and yes, it's one of the best game soundtrack pieces I've heard too. If it were featured in some more known game, it'd be a classic tune.

I remember asking about this two years ago but Wonder Boy's battle music has a very similar melody to something I've heard on the radio. All I can recall is the faint voice of a woman singing in some language other than English (or otherwise she was impossible to understand in English) to that exact melody. I thought it was Enigma or one of those late 80s/early 90s Pure Moods or New Age compilation discs. Just vocalize the melody in a feminine voice and I swear to god that was the song!

FilthyImp posted:The SegaCD era usually hits me hard in the nostalgia. Road Avenger's weird music video OP (when ah ammmm..... On the rooooad!), Sonic CD, pretty much all of the Lunar soundtrack. On the SnES side, the complete soundstone ditty from Earthbound and Megaman X's music are pretty good, and the title screen music to Link to the Past is just epic. I've only had the opportunity to discover Sega CD and Saturn games recently, and another game soundtrack that blows me away is Batman Returns on the Sega CD. The first thing I thought when I heard it was "What is this music doing in this game?!?". It's too good.

The first song is from Astal. Astal is hands down my favorite Saturn game. It feels like a piece of some alternate dimension showing where 2D games could have gone in the 32-bit era. I sit down and clear it every year or so. It's not perfect by any means, but it helped bridge the gap between Genesis and Saturn in my mind. Then I played Virtual Hydlide  Into the Darkness is great, but I raise you with Sea of Clouds, which makes my hair stand on end every time I hear it https://youtu.be/5YweLBAh0nE

I'm a big fan of the Sega CD Terminator music, as well as the music in Rondo of Blood. F-Zero too. Video game music was awesome back then.

Just a heads up but I bought some stupid cards from YAJ and may grab a few other things off YAJ because why not. If there's a small (read: NOT A WHOLE SYSTEM) you are interested in I can probably help save some cost by bulk shipping it for you with my items.

Kthulhu5000 posted:Maybe Enya's "Orinoco Flow"? Nah, this was definitely a song from the 90s or earlier. I can't remember anything else beyond the woman. I want to say it was an R&B or urban soul song it really had that kind of styling. Maybe I'll hear it one day walking around in a Sears or something but it's up there with Battle Against A Weak Opponent as "song that totally sounds like an early 90s pop song." Although Enya's Anywhere Is is totally the map screen music in Yoshi's Island.

Town themes in rpgs always take me back. I think because they are always either peaceful or upbeat, and also always catchy. There's games where I hated every song in the game except the town theme. Games with amazing town themes: Final Fantasy VI Illusion of Gaia Chrono Trigger Breath of Fire (this game has like three incredible town themes) Secret of Mana Earthbound Link to the Past 7th Saga Lufia Super Mario RPG Just off the top of my head. As an older person now I enjoy driving all around NY and Vermont looking for pretty, quaint towns to simply walk around with my kid and I wonder if that had something to do with it because it bores my wife to tears.

Uncle at Nintendo posted:Town themes in rpgs always take me back. To take that even further, the town themes might actually be the single best thing about Beyond the Beyond. It's some of Sakuraba's best work, I think.

Rollersnake posted:...you don't recognize Tequila? No dammit there's definitely a 90s pop/hip-hop song that has a woman doing backup vocals like "work/watch my body, something something body" aaaaaaaagh! That song is definitely based on Tequila but I frequently argue with my friends that video game music and 90s urban pop with its heavy use of short repetitive melodies, fm synth, and sampling sound indistinguishable. al-azad fucked around with this message at 14:05 on Aug 29, 2016 |

Is Sega age pretty bad or just has too many people low balling you. I figured it should have a good amount of people who would treasure this.

I have no idea where all the Sega collectors is then. It's just probably because it's not as well known as anything Nintendo is. Sorry, I really wish I could help more, I don't want you to become homeless.

I feel like the reason Genesis/Game Gear stuff simply doesn't cost as much is that Sega allowed manufacture of like the Majesco variants and later TecToy and other clone systems pretty continuously since the Genesis was out for the Genesis, and well past when the Game Gear was dead for the Game Gear. So there's kind of an impression among people that there's always plenty of Genesis stuff around, the way you just didn't have with SNES stuff.

Apparently of all things it's the "Game" mode of my TV that's causing my N64 visual glitch  The problem went away as soon as I connected the thing to another monitor/TV, and anything I tried on the original TV (XRGB, S-Video, even Composite!) had the issue. But setting it to something like "Standard" instead of "Game fixes that...at the expense of a lot more input lag which kind of really blows.

The Joe Man posted:Massively cut the price out of desperation: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3787634 Seriously though. By the time you find the right box and proper packing materials, you're best bet is eBay. Unless you need the money yesterday, just put it up as a buy it now for 30 days, and offer shipping to Canada. Get accurate weight for shipping and and have it set as calculated. It'll sell. Edit: I hate selling my video games, but I have so many bills nowadays. But I have learned from my mom for years about selling antiques. And I know exactly what to do to get every dollar outta eBay. I'm sure a few others on here do too. No OBO either. Kramdar fucked around with this message at 01:51 on Aug 30, 2016 |
