I would only trust James Gunn to direct. Slither was 80s camp in a modern setting with amazing special effects. But dude is making that Disney money now.

At some point when I was really young, I developed a habit for mashing the start button in Mario games on NES when I was making a big jump. Where in the gently caress did I get the idea to do that and am I alone on this?

Impromptu "slow" mode that a lot of old 3rd party controllers liked to advertise? I know Megaman 2 kind of does some gymnastics when you rapidly pause and unpause while in the air, which can make your jumps longer and get you stuck in a part of Bubble Man's stage, though.

I keep forgetting to post this. Not sure if it interests anyone else. Nintendo used to own a most of the Seattle Mariners. I went on a tour of Safeco Field and got to see the owner's box, and there's basically a shrine to Hiroshi Yamauchi. http://imgur.com/a/BQkB9 Also, I just got a Mega Everdrive x5! The first thing I loaded up was Sonic 2XL. I can't wait to play Crusader of Centy. What are the must-play mods and translations? I tried that demo that was posted recently, but apparently the rom is too big. =(

IIRC it only works on Mega Everdrive, or X7, as it's branded now. The save function is also quite nice for the modern gamer who might not have the time to play a game start to finish. If you're looking for various enhancements, Pyron's color patches make many Megadrive games look quite good. I especially like the Streets of Rage 2 one.

King Colossus is a decent action rpg thats pretty easy to just pick up and play. Monster world IV too. I suck at shooters but love to play, there's some trained thunder force 3/4 roms that are fun to spend 200 lives on to beat.

Also I don't know if asking for sites to download vanilla game ROMs is considered  or not in this era of the Virtual Console.

It technically is, but you want "No-Intro" releases to use on Everdrives. You can readily find them via Google. If you just grab any old ROM, it'll probably be unsuitable for actual hardware.

That's not entirely true, though some on newer consoles might perform oddly if they were emulator/flash cart patched. NES/Genesis/SNES/N64 stuff should basically just work.

You probably want the "good" sets. GoodGen, etc. And then decode names to weed out the crap. https://64bitorless.wordpress.com/rom-suffix-explanations/ falz fucked around with this message at 03:37 on May 18, 2017 |

I actually had a ton of trouble with Goodgen on my Mega Everdrive. I'd get red screens on every other ROM, which means bad checksum I think. When I got No-Intro, the issues completely vanished. There are many reports of the same on Krikzz's forums Edit: It probably is a YMMV situation depending on which set you grab from where, but like I said, No-Intro is generally recommended. At least for Genesis. azurite fucked around with this message at 03:44 on May 18, 2017 |

Vixen 357 is a pretty good Japan-only MD game - it's a sci-fi SRPG by the team that made the classic Langrisser games and it was translated late last year: http://www.romhacking.net/translations/2738/

They need to be unzipped. I wonder how long a 68000 would take to unzip poo poo however. Who has an amiga 500 laying around to answer?

You'd have to feel that nagging pain of guilt every time you ran pkunzip, though, since you couldn't pay for it anymore. Anyway, I broke out Clockwork Knight for the first time in a long time this evening. I don't know what Sega was thinking with this game. It would have been a weak game on the Genesis. It feels like a mid-tier NES platformer, the kind that you wouldn't mind playing but you're be thinking of better games as you did it. Clockwork Knight doesn't live up to the standards of the platformers Sega had been releasing at the time so the only thing I can think is that this was something they knocked together to see what the Saturn hardware could do. I assume the sequel is just more of the same. Not that I'm remotely tempted to pay the price for that game.

So I decided to start doing some Sega emulating after having stuck to doing almost entirely Nintendo stuff for the most part, and since the emulator I'm using(the Kega Fusion) is compatible with pretty much every pre Saturn system Sega made, I figured I should ask for some recommendations for the more obscure systems it covers; the SG-1000/SC-3000 and the Sega Master System

I will stand by Choplifter, based on Sega's arcade version, and Zillion.

Among SMS games, Golvellius is a pretty neat Zelda imitation that switches between an overhead view and side-scrolling. And I'm not just talking it up because it's by Compile! Oh, and Phantasy Star. The game's grindy and dated, but compare it to anything else from 1988 and you'll see why it landed a cult following.

Master system recommations: Alex Kidd in Shinobi world - light hearted platformer with afun twist on the series Mickey Mouse: Land of Illusion - another simple platformer, but really polished Jurassic Park - the graphics are at times ugly, but there are some interesting concepts going on here. Two alternate endings as well. Wonderboy - all of them except 4(?) - lots of fun, reach with their own style. 4 should be played on the MD/Genesis to save frustration Choplifter - classic action Rampage - a solid home console port Bonanza Bros - maybe better on the MD/Genesis Sonic 1&2 - different to the MD/Genesis versions, but still solid.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Double Dragon's pretty decent on SMS (Granted, I never played the NES version though). Yeah, never played the NES version either. But 2p Double Dragon on the SMS was a blast back in the day. Actually, I think the SMS head some pretty good arcade ports in it's early years (space harrier, outrun,. Hang on), with some tasty platformers coming out later (Disney and co). Ninja Haiden is pretty looking on the and as well. Not sure how it compares to the NES version though. Edit:More SMS recs: Lucky dime caper starring Donald Duck - another solid Disney platformer. There's another Donald Duck game that might be just as good of not better. Asterix (the first one is my favourite) - decent platforming. I might just be a fan of the source material though. Kenseiden -samurai action The ninja - kind of like commando but you are a ninja The real deal Teddy boy My hero For shits and giggles ALF Tom and Jerry the movie King's Quest Final, this is a good watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N0kmU4E7T4 MediumWellDone fucked around with this message at 11:14 on May 18, 2017 |

Nobody's mentioned the actual Shinobi yet and I like that version of the game even though it is different from the arcade. Also, the Master System version of Double Dragon is good because it's the best home port of the game that was contemporaneous with the arcade game. The NES version stunk and didn't even have two player. The 7800 version has those terrible controllers. The 2600 version is best described as a novelty. SMS Double Dragon has got everything you want.

Happy to see Master System recommendations, as I also recently received a Mega everdrive x5 too. Check the European library. Speaking of Double Dragon, Renegade is nice port of the arcade. Master of Darkness is fun Castlevania clone. Is it possible to use a master system light gun with the mega everdrive? Some people say that master System games on the mega everdrive will not work with the phaser. BTW was Power Instinct released on America? All the Roms I have found are from the Japanese version. The Genesis library does not seem to have as many fighting games as the SNES.
