How is it that I'm more familiar with Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal's battle theme even though I've only played Red longer than 60 minutes in my whole life??? What is wrong with my brain? Do they use the Gold battle theme in more supplementary material and spinoffs??

9/9/99 was awesome because I was in high school and could only afford the dreamcast and no games so I just played the demo disc for weeks. that one sonic adventure level with the whale is burned into my mind

I mean, as it mentions, emulators themselves are perfectly legal and it doesn't come with any (copywritten) roms. It'll probably get a name change though. This emulator's also been on the Windows 8/Windows Phone store for like two years, and works alright enough.

I respect the Dreamcast, just not enough games I enjoy that weren't ported or cross-released elsewhere to justify keeping a spot under my TV for it (or money going towards games for it). Then again, I am not a huge arcade game guy. FireMrshlBill fucked around with this message at 04:38 on Sep 10, 2016 |

Good timing, I was going to make a post about the very last two PAL Saturn games I was missing for a full set, and one of those is a certain terrible fighter just mentioned. Anyway, a full set may just be the dumbest loving thing in this already dumb hobby, and a Saturn one at that? Jesus. But here's the thing, the Saturn was my first "big" console; before that all I had was a famiclone and a hands-me-down Master System at a time you couldn't find games for it anymore (1995). I was in love with the Saturn the moment I saw the first screens of Street Fighter Alpha and I just couldn't shut up about it. My mother went and actually saved enough money to buy this ridiculous expensive thing for me on Christmas 1996 and it became my main console until 2002 when I got a PS2, so I bought waaay too many games over the years for it and it's why I even considered getting a full set, especially considering most games were acquired before the retro bubble. So, sob story aside, here's the first of the two I was missing: Maximum Impact, a very, very mediocre (if not outright bad) light gun shooter.  It's not remarkable in any way, other than being 90's as hell with its pre-rendered actors and backgrounds and blood explosions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BL32VaPN-dk No, the thing why it's one of the last ones I got was that I wasn't even aware it existed until two years ago as I had never seen or heard anything about it. The Saturn version is in fact very, very rare, so much that I actually found a working arcade cabinet of Maximum Impact last year on some random bar in a small city whereas the Saturn port eluded me for all these years when I was actually looking for its games. This year I finally found a post-retro bubble price that wasn't 200€, hurray! The Playstation port, on the other hand, can be found for peanuts -- there's plenty of it on eBay and elsewhere. The second game is, of course, the hilarious Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game.  It's fairly uncommon, so I only saw it in the wild once and assumed it wasn't in the original packaging, because that's an American Saturn case you see there. We have three types of PAL Saturn cases and none of them were this fragile jewel case type, so I assumed incorrectly that I would eventually find a copy in the original packaging. And then I completely forgot all about it and only remembered when I was going over the whole release list last year, trying to figure out which ones I had missed. To this day I have no idea why this game alone came in a different case than all other PAL releases, but it's a thing. It's also costed me double the price from what I had seen it at in 2009 (30€), yay.

Elliotw2 posted:Fun fact: Street Fighter: The Movie: The Arcade Game: The Saturn Game is a decent version of SF2Turbo. Serious question but how? Is SF2Turbo hidden in the game? I actually miss the age of digitized graphics in games. I was obsessed with Mortal Kombat 1-3 (and Trilogy and Ultimate) but MK4 was when I officially stopped enjoying them. I even tried the newest one that everyone loves and I can't get used to the controls. Not to mention pressing down and HP is not the same as it used to be for whatever reason? Why'd they change that? Top Hats Monthly posted:My friend has a copy of Zero Wing for the Sega Mega Drive, and I dunno, despite people saying the SNES had a better sound system, Zero Wing sounds really awesome on a modern speaker system The Genesis has good audio; it is definitely capable. It's merely different than the SNES. The SNES is all sample-based which is how you get epic soundtracks like FFVI that you would never really get on the Genesis. But the Genesis sounds great in games where they don't try to be what they aren't. As far as I know the SNES does not have any information on the sound chip in terms of the samples; the samples are all on the cartridges. I think I read that 1/3rd of Zelda 3's filesize is the audio. If it's all sample-based I actually wonder why the games didn't sound even more like instruments.
