Yeah, LGR is pretty great. One of the few times that looking at the videos YouTube suggested to me actually paid off.

Less awesome: Nintendo nuking 562 fangames in a single DMCA takedown. Probably smarter to do them in large batches like this instead of individually, now you're not making recognizable martyrs. Still, even with the caveat that they're totally within their legal right to do so,

Actually, apparently projects hosted on GameJolt were receiving 30% of ad revenue for their project pages or something... in which case, if true, that's violating one of the tenets of the fangaming scene (ie: don't take money for your copyright-infringing product you morons), and makes me feel better about the situation in general.

They're clearly cheesing it by using Japanese release dates - SMB3 in 1988 and Pokémon Gen 1 in 1996, for instance, instead of their Western release dates of 1990 and 1998, respectively.

As far as weekend games go, I played the demo for Dungeon Siege to completion three times over while I wait for the copy I ordered on eBay to get here (yeah, I could buy the Steam version, but that doesn't have the expansion, plus physical media is nice), mostly spurred on by repeated watchings of the episode of Ross's Game Dungeon covering the game making me curious.

I'm nitpicking, I suppose, but the KS page makes it clear it's a DOS game throwback (Apogee, specifically), not Amiga. Granted, nothing about that trailer makes me think "DOS", but it's what they're trying to go for, anyway.

As I recall, SSF doesn't directly support disc images, either, but it's Japanese so I just assumed it's how their emulation scene works.

Wizgot posted:I had a friend tell me Metal Slug was a better game than Super Mario World. He even had the balls to say they were both platformers. Instead he ascribes them to the (even more) nebulous genre of "action" (if not run-and-gun, in Mega Man's case). I don't know. I also don't know why I would consider Mega Man a platformer, but not Contra. You do platforming in both! It does feel like there's more focus on it in Mega Man's case, though.

Ridge Racer on the Vita let you use the Hornet from Daytona USA, so that's automatically the best one in the series. Even though it's also a shell of a game that you have to buy tons of DLC for to make into a proper release, which automatically makes it the worst one in the series. And also, it's on the Vita, which means nobody will ever play it anyway.

Genesis Aladdin > SNES Aladdin, but they're both good and it annoys me that people make it out like you can only like one of them I can't really comment on Master System/Game Gear Aladdin, though, couldn't quite figure out where to go in the second level. Seems like an okay Prince of Persia clone, I guess.

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is a pretty decent port of SMB1 with The Lost Levels included as a bonus (well, Worlds 1-8, anyway), and some extra modes besides (like "Vs. Boo" races or a Challenge Mode where you have to locate five red coins and a Yoshi egg). Metal Gear Solid (aka Ghost Babel) is a pretty decent little adaptation of the PS1 game's gameplay (or maybe the second MSX game's?) to the Game Boy Color. Haven't bought this one yet myself, but want to. Get the Wario Lands. Just do it. Both of them. Fun little puzzle platformers. You can't die in them, so it becomes more of a matter of finding the way forward with your various transformation abilities. 3 is more of a Metroidvania than 2 (you start out weak and get stronger as the game goes on). Pretty much every Zelda on GBC is a good one. Heck, I'm still partial to the DX version of Link's Awakening... Random Stranger posted:Gambit: worst X-Man gets the worst X-Men stage.

The one I kinda wanna get is the StarTech USB3HDCAP - which is a USB 3.0 dongle variant of Micomsoft's capture cards (in fact, you'll wanna use Micomsoft drivers instead of StarTech's, from what I've gathered), and supports 240p over component (I mean, of course it does, Micomsoft's the XRGB guys), meaning you can play PS1 games on your PS2 within a window on your PC, too. For me, though, I'd probably want a laptop with a USB 3.0 port to use it with, since my work laptop doesn't have such a port, and my desktop (which does, though I think Windows 10 disabled the add-on card that let me add them) is in a separate room from my old consoles, and moving consoles back/forth sounds like a pain.

fishmech posted:For a lot of games? Not really, in recent years. Really, that's what I'm angry about; not the price difference being solely for the tat - that's just standard collector's edition fluff - but rather that they had an opportunity to offer a physical version so that problem could be averted in the long-term, but decided "nah, our physical release won't have a physical copy of the game, sorry". This poo poo's already basically completely ruined the physical PC market (everything's a one-time code that's permanently tied to a Steam account now, so why are you even bothering putting out a box again?), and it annoys me to see it creeping to other markets as well - especially given the gaming industry has serious problems with making sure you can play old games on modern hardware, as Red Eye illustrated with his Uncle Buck analogy. Maybe if they got better about that last bit, I'd care less. Plus, I dunno, the standard collector's edition fluff just feels sillier when the game isn't available physically at all.

Mmm, true. With PCs, that's less of an issue since you can always separately download patches for older games and be good, but I don't believe consoles have ever offered a similar kind of system - either you've downloaded the patch from the official server, or you're hosed. Kinda feels like the 360 and PS3 tried to make console gaming more PC-like, without thinking of how to keep that system working after the relevancy has faded like PCs generally do.

Funny, I just started using RetroArch myself since it seemed like the sanest way to try and interface with Mednafen, try and experiment with its PS1 and Saturn cores. Even took the time to download all the PS1 Classics I'd bought offa PSN onto my computer (by way of my PSP) to mess with it, since it supports those EBOOT.PBP files. Technically, so does ePSXe, but my attempt at getting that to read them gave me naught but black screens.
