what is good about simons quest?

>>4197525
graphics, music, gameplay minus some annoying parts?

>>4197530
its cryptic, you need to grind, empty castles, its meh but yes music was good

X2 - if you fight and defeat all three X-Hunters, you won't fight Zero. If you fail to defeat at least one, you have to fight Zero.
X5 - if you launch the shuttle or fire the laser early, you don't need to fight all the bosses
X6 - if you defeat Nightmare Zero, you can skip almost all of the bosses and just go to the final stage

On X6, if you go past a certain ammount of Nightmare Souls (starting at 5000), bosses get stronger

>Actually playing X6
I marathon'd the franchise and stopped at X5 cause it was bad and heard X6 is even worse

>>4197405
That's not even relevant.

There are people who deliberately avoid what they perceive as popular. This is one of the characteristics of a "hipster"

>>4197357
CT goes by pretty quickly actually. like half of the content is optional sidequests.

and the main story quest is easily broken up into bits you can play in one sitting so you can play at a pace you're comfortable with.

I was born in 84 so the classics were all I had as a kid. I can't name a single popular series I haven't at least tried, even sports titles.

>>4197321
You need to get on Quake. And make sure that it has the original music playing, too. It's a creepy as fuck, gothic game to begin with, but with Trent Reznor's music playing in the background, it takes it up about 9 notches.

>>4197129
Jazz jack rabbit I played this game so much time. This is the best platformer of 90s

>>4197129
JJ2 was much better.

>>4197269
>tfw the 'community' won't release a 1080p patch because they fear 'hackers' despite the fact that everyone playing JJ is adult enough to not hack in a multiplayer game.

>>4197269
Yeah but the first one had objectively better music. Mid-90s Epic games soundtracks simply can't be beat.

>Make a platformer starring a super-fast animal with gameplay and advertising centered around getting from one place to another real fast
>Can only see ten feet ahead of you

Who designed this fucking thing?

Still one of the best platformers ever made.

>>4197124
Please for the love of god OP don't be one of those guys who goes through all the effort of building a MAME cab but then slaps in a shitty 16:9 monitor unless you're planning on playing something like Street Fighter IV on it as well.

>>4197537
Nope, read the post above yours: I'm keeping the original Wells-Gardner 24" horizontal monitor in it. I even bought a special video card so my PC could drive it natively.

I promise, I'm doing this right.

>>4197539
I don't read that's gay nerd crap.

>>4197124
enjoy your input lag nerd

>>4197542
That's not a real issue unless you're trying to be one of the best players in the world. Don't even pretend you can tell the difference I will destroy you. You hear me bitch? DESTROY.

>>4197065
it werks

It works but sometimes it can take over a minute to flash a new rom while the sd2snes is always very fast. This and the sd2snes has just slightly higher compatibility

>>4197065
It's an exact clone of an older version of the Super Everdrive which is a different product from SD2SNES. It only has a slight difference in a few components that make it incompatible with newer versions of the Super ED firmware so don't try to upgrade one.

It works. You'll want to get a Class 10 card for it though, because sometimes it can be sssslllllooooowwww to load with any other type of card. Even with the Class 10, it still can often suck. I got a Sandisk Ultra 8GB, and that definitely helped over a standard SD card.

>a thread died for this

No.

Favorite game: Kings Field 2
Most recent game: Castevania SoTN
Still retro, and would play.

>>4196993
>your favorite game of all time isn't retro

Fave game: Suikoden 2
Most recent game: Mystic Ark
Sounds pretty comfy actually.

>>4197343
please sheathe your katana and adjust your gi sensei you're scaring me

>>4197354
You haven't even seen my hattori level 4.
Anyway, really, giatto giuddo. Sonic CD allows you to go pretty fast and take the best routes once you stop sucking at it.

1>CD=2>the rest

>>4197362
I'm not the guy you were initially responding to and I more or less agree with your flow chart. Have a nice day anon!

>>4196961
>I don't mean it to be a derogative, but it is a glorified ROMhack
And that's bad why? Yeah it kinda sucked like half of Mania were just redone stages but the game is really good besides that. I just hope if they make a sequel it's nothing but new stages so I can finally get the Sonic sequel I've wanted since I was like 9.

>>4196961
>fuck you plebs who don't understand tansaku-platforming gameplay

CD is not the same kind of game as Metroid and SOTN, and you're retarded for thinking it is.

>>4196938
Thatd be like calling Justin Bailey edition the best Super Metroid rom hack

>>4196952
Completely accurate?

>>4196931
Sweet Home?

bait thread
the hacker recently gave several updates on this project (about time too...)

Hahaha, cool thread.

(Reminds me of something...)

it's already translated

bait thread

>>4197267
>Even Irving brings up how dejected he felt when they show up and no one else but him realizes something is wrong so he says nothing out of shame or some shit.

That is just a poor excuse to go along with everyone forgetting because of GF use.

>>4197109
Except that one time.
And something before that.
And a few other times before that.
Not everybody is submissive as you.

>>4197272
this

>>4197301

>existentialism out of nowhere

Vivi's story is "existentialism for dummies" and it started as soon as you reached the Black Mage Factory.

>>4196801
Why does it sound like you all somehow played this game but were ready to review it the whole time you did -- no wonder it sucked for you you goddamn peasants

if you just went with the flow and excepted everything as it happened and suspended your own reality -- FF8 is incredibly interesting and has a LOT of character

Being able to break the junction system at the beginning is a plus for the game because then you can give yourself the luxury of paying attention to every little thing everyone says

>>4196773
>Playing Sonic at 5/6th speed

pleb

>>4196905
>calls others pleb
>still eats their bait

>>4196773
I play EU versions of all games I can find, but I hear sonic was improperly ported to PAL.

I play the US version of every game. Smaller in filesize because of language packs I'll never use not included and 60fps guaranteed instead of having to see if it's 50fps or not. Also OP is shitty bait

>>4197280
It wasn't ported to PAL. It is unchanged from the US release, that's why it is so obviously slow.

>>4196763
it didn't though

>>4196765

But it did.

>>4196760
sonic jam proves it works though

Uh, Mario 64 anyone? Did you just pull in from 1995 or some shit?

>>4196779
Is it worth emulating Sonic Jam just to play the 3D Sonic segment?
