Maybe the TMNT or Simpsons arcade games. You can get those on separate cabs but I want one that does it all (yes, yes, I'm going to have to build my own. I have a retropie on the big tv in the meantime)

If you build your own you can also play shredders revenge sor4 and other cool modern stuff on it. And other not so modern stuff cause emulating old games on your arcade stick is also a blast. Just sayin.

You could always buy a kit or pick up an old busted cabinet and spruce it up.

Devils Affricate posted:It's definitely an interesting and so-bad-it's-good movie to enjoy as an adult, but you're a goddamn liar if you say you weren't disappointed by it as a kid for being so completely divorced from the video games. 10 year old you would have massively preferred the new CGI Mario movie. I wasn’t upset by it not being like the game because how do you make a live action movie about Mario? I remember the discussion. The new Mario benefits from having plots and relatively advanced cg characters that were developed over a long span of time and didn’t exist in 93 We could have had something like live action cartoon Mario but it would have looked a lot like a very young children’s show like lazy town or something. We could have had cartoon Mario which I might have liked but I don’t imagine that doing well.

It has the most lore-correct visual depiction of a goomba, if you go by the descriptions given in the Silmariollion

SilvergunSuperman posted:What the gently caress is the first boss in altered beast supposed to be? Altered beast's bosses are completely unrelated to any greek mythology, but according to this it's name's Aggar. quote:The first sorcerer transforms into Aggar, a grotesque demonic golem made of rock and human bones. His method of attack is throwing a barrage of heads which drift down to the ground like a missile salvo. I looked that name up, and there is a demon in the abrahamic extended fanfiction called Agares who's described as "an old man, riding upon a crocodile, and carrying a hawk on his fist,who teaches languages, stops and retrieves runaway persons, causes earthquakes, and grants noble titles." Now in order to figure out if the devs were referencing something even more obscure or were just making wacky poo poo up let's look at other bosses. We have OCTEYES, an evil plant made of multitudes of eyeballs, a Moldy Snail, a flying crocodile ball, and an antropomorphical Rhino in wrestling gear. I think they were just overworked.

IMO it's a fine, mediocre-to-good game, but people seem to think it's some kind of masterpiece. I think people were just really happy it wasn't as poo poo as fallout 3. You want good fallout, play 1 and 2.

New Vegas was good but it didn't blow me away. Years later when people started holding it up as a classic bethesda RPG I was like, what did we play different games? It probably did have the best main questline of any bethesda game ever, which says more about the quality of bethesda's writing than anything. Handing it off to obsidian who made a decent, self-contained story with branching endings and people were blown away. I think new vegas was a lot of people's first bethesda (style) game, and those people probably never played morrowind, which is to this day the best game they ever made. They've never been able to capture that magic again for me. Every game they've made since has been good in ways that made me want to play them, but morrowind is arguably one of the greatest games ever made. That said, morrowind's main quest was still nonsense fetch quests. Go to each tribe and become their savior. Then go kill a dude chillin in a volcano. Congrats, you saved the world. Ok. Cool main quest. I think I only ever did it once. Jumping across the map with 10000 acrobatics and literally flying with levitate was too much fun for me to care about the main quest.

I always assumed people were horny for New Vegas because it was the most moddable Fallout, which tbh is basically the whole point of the franchise from 3 onwards when they stopped delivering finished games.

That's my point, new vegas is a good game, even a very good one, but it's held in such high regard because it's so much better than any game bethesda actually made themselves. Except morrowind, morrowind is a legitimately great game and way better than new vegas. And arguably has less jank too, because there's little to no physics. Basically Morrowind is the only game that bethesda actually made that was any good. they've been taking everything good about it and removing it from TES ever since. Even the graphics aren't that bad, in fact with mods they're quite good. It has a style that works. Oblivion/Skyrim? not so much. Oblivion looks like dogshit today.

I always thought they removed things that were good by accident with some casualties to streamlining and such but after seeing some Starfield interviews it's wild how aggressively they deliberately try to remove and avoid the things that made Morrowind good -- and each iteration removing what made the previous ones not as good as Morrowind, but still playable in their own way. All the way to Starfield when they've finally succeeded in their goal of designing away everything they were ashamed of in Morrowind, which were all the parts that worked together. TES isn't really their property just like Fallout isn't. Starfield is, and without these legacy demands to make things at least kind of good like the franchise wants to be, they've made their own baby free to just be completely Bethesda from the ground up.
