I liked that game, kind of.

I love this game so much. ;_;

It was okay.

Loved this game.

Everyone always says they prefered 7, but 6 will always have a place in my childhood

Genpei Toumaden. It's loved in Japan, but nowhere else because nostalgia is required to enjoy stupidly hard games I guess.

>>2346601
I would've liked it if not for the combat.
I can't stand the way that game or Secret of Mana handle combat.

>>2346554
I absolutely like Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest.

It does good things that have barely caught on with RPGs nowadays. In its simplicity, there is also elegance. It is a quintessential JRPG, pared down to the bare essentials - and in such it becomes a thing of beauty, like a cut gemstone.

Compared to the mess that Final Fantasy has become, it is all the more wonderful.

Gaiapolis. It has a cult following in Japan, but unknown everywhere else. I'm pretty tempted to track down the actual PCB, since the emulation on MAME is pretty shitty.

>Only you liked
>Nintendo/Square anything

Okay this shit has to end. At least post something actually notoriously bad or more obscure. For fucks sake. You guys are the absolute worst kind of twats.

>>2346667

looks like a shitty golden axe

transartica - train game with fighting elephants.
dracula in london - search out dracula in london
maceveli the prince - trade, buy the pope

all really good games you should try.

>>2346723
Nigga, please. Golden Axe has nothing on Gaiapolis.

Bro BRO.
I'm trying to beat my entire collection and I don't know how but this is there.

Give me some info about it. I literally do not know how I got it, when I picked it up but give me some info.

>>2346708
Yeah fucking this man. Mystic Quest is a decent game, its just super casual.

>>2346645
I was pretty disgusted about how messy were hitboxes in LoM. I got tired of the game just one moment before the girl and the dwarf could spam their magics and break the game fiercely. The combat was already a chore, I didn't want to turn it into a slow, boring SFX slideshow.

>>2346667
You are confusing obscure game with hated games buddy. Either way, i enjoyed Lightbringer a lot more than Gaiapolis, another great fantasy-themed brawler.

>>2346658
This. It's everything it was set out to be.

>>2347093
>4 players
You have my ear

>>2346708
>Okay this shit has to end. At least post something actually notoriously bad or more obscure. For fucks sake. You guys are the absolute worst kind of twats.

fucking this.

>>2346601
I think people only shat on Evermore because everyone liked the original Secret of Mana and they wanted the true sequel localized instead of some Americanized crap. It's only after Seiken Densetsu 3 was fan-translated and everyone realized that it wasn't that good that Evermore developed a cult following.

>>2346884
>You are confusing obscure game with hated games buddy.
OP's post is vague enough that it could be interpreted either way..

>>2347380
>Americanized crap

Fuck off weeb.

Secret of Evermore is pop Americana at its finest. Absolutely top notch.

You know what Secret of Mana and Seiken Densetsu 3 have? Cliche anime bullshit storytelling that's melodramatic and fucking gay.

>>2346554
played the shit out of this game
love the music

love this one

>>2346638
Mandate was the best by far.

>>2346554
I am currently replaying that. it's the only final fantasy Game I've ever played

>>2347389
Reading comprehension much? I was speaking about fan's reaction towards Evermore at the time.

I'm literally the only one who liked it.

>>2347380
SoE had a great concept and I would finish it if the magic system wasn't ass. Who the fuck thought that gathering items for magic was a good idea?

I don't remember how the fuck I stumbled upon this as a kid, and none of my friends have ever played it or heard of it

>>2346554
Good game. First and only FF I ever played.

haters gonna hate but this game isn't even bad

>>2348346
The James Pond games were actually quite popular in European countries...

>>2347380
I disagree, I like it about the same as I do SD 3

>>2347380
wait... you were calling SD3 bad... ok... that I can't comprehend at all... it's hard as balls but it's a fucking fun game, go screw yourself.

ZEAL

>>2349008
It's not bad at all, just obtuse. I bet 99.9999% of people who talk about how bad it is have never played it and are just repeating what they've heard some YouTuber say.

>>2349058
or they play 10 minutes already thinking it's going to be bad and think that it's as bad as people say because they can't figure out what to do right off.

>>2349058
I've never played it, but I believe people when they say it's bad. Then again, I've never made tried to carry on a discussion about it, because I have better things to do with my time than pretend to hold an opinion for a game I haven't played.

>>2349067
That game is actually some what popular in retro CRPG gaming circles, I have an ancient copy that I bought back in the day and never played though, lol

>>2349068
what the hell was the point of even posting this?

>>2349068
I really think it's a shame that the ET being the worst game ever made thing even caught on, because I actually think it's an important game and a testament to what one person can do with limited technology and a very limited amount of time.

>>2349072
Was it made by one guy? That's actually pretty impressive for the time.

>>2349072
Some one just watched the netflix special......instead making your opion based on a youtube vid you did it from netflix........upgrade???

>>2349319
umm... no... I didn't even know there was a documentary on netflix... I HAVE played it, I even still have the physical copy from when I was a kid. You guys really like pick things a apart forexcuses to get angry, don't you

>>2349075
For the time, that was common. Time constraints were ass tho.

I really love this game.

Most underrated franchise in the history of video games.

>>2349357
Nnnuughhhhaa we dont your wrong..... Hehehe

>>2346791
Not him but it's a lot like Monster Rancher. There's some differences though.

>Your monsters are generated by words and game saves, not CDs.
>There's a full equipment system
>There's a higher chance your dragon will die.

>>2349017
FUCK i loved this game as a kid

>>2349472
Right, but that's not a game only you liked. Everyone who's played it, loved it.

Not a bad game, though it does have some flaws.

>>2349013
SD3 is not bad, just underwhelming.

The 7th Saga

>>2350498
>That fucking font style for the flavor text
That just screams late 90's

Okay, so most people never played this game anyway, but the ones who have dismiss it as shit and laud the original.

The first one's great, but Zoda's revenge had better dungeons, better combat, better bosses, and better music. It's everything a good sequel should be.

>>2347093
I played the fuck out of this when I was a kid but when I picked it back up I just couldn't stay engaged.

>>2349009
>Euro platformers
Pig disgusting

>>2350634
>PSP game
Get the fuck out.

>>2350648
PlayStation game you fucking amateur.

>>2347094
This game gets so much shit. Back in the day, I fucking loved it

>>2350650
Popolocrois had a PSP Port.

>>2349090
Oh shit forgot about this game

This game rules.

>>2350830
Love the shit out of this game

>>2350831
One evening I played that game aaaaaall the way to the final area without saving 'cause I didn't have a memory pak. Then I had to go to bed and turn it off. Haven't played since.

No one ever played this game.

>>2351203

Parent's just didn't understand what save games were or how much less than a dollar of electricity would mean to us to leave the system on overnight.

>>2350445
regret selling this a bit, since the manual can't be found online.

>>2350830
This was pretty popular in it's time tho.

Tales of Destiny

Nobody ever talks about it.

I actually like Zelda 2 though I wouldn't dare say it was the best Zelda game like a dumbass. The GB games have that title I think.

>>2346610
I had that and it was actually pretty enjoyable once you learn what to do and what upgrades you should aim for first.

>>2348346
Had the 2nd one and enjoy the freedom and secrets you have in the game. You can literally beat the first stage within seconds just by going left instead of right. Never play the first one though but it seem like most people treat the 2nd one as shit.

>>2349008
Play it and at least you can do that much, play it. There are clearly worst games nowadays. While I don't care for it I can't say I hate it knowing the limitations at the time. Most games for the system doesn't give you more then one screen so in a way it was pretty impressive really. I still like boxing and tanks much better with that said though.

>>2351203
that was /v/'s fotm recently.
but yeah. not retro

I've never heard anyone talk about it, and the guy at my local vidya store kept insisting that it never existed. It's a pretty nice sidescroller that you can beat in one sitting. This was my first NES game, so I was determined to eventually beat it. By the time I finally did I had mastered it, knowing every autistic detail.

I've never heard anyone talk about it, and the guy at my local vidya store kept insisting that it never existed. It's a pretty nice sidescroller that you can beat in one sitting once you get good at it. This was my first NES game, so I was determined to eventually beat it. By the time I finally did I had mastered it, knowing every autistic detail.

>>2350625
I own both startropics 1 and zoda's revenge.

I def prefer 1, but zoda doesn't deserve anywhere NEAR the hate it gets, it's really fun but the boss rush at the end is hard as balls.

>>2350831
I still can't beat the vagabond wind boss.

>>2352045

Or was that your point?

>>2352204
It works for me.

>>2347398

this

>>2346554
I always start this game but give up by the time I get to the huge tree and the chicken village
it's fun to pick up and play, you know, like an 8 bit jayrpg

>Tecmo Bowl - NES

People always refer to Tecmo Super Bowl, but I had Tecmo Bowl and I loved it.

>Guerilla War - NES

I've never heard anyone else ever mention it, it was fun albeit too easy with infinite continues

>Top Gear Rally - N64

I have seen that other people like this game on YouTube in recent times, but in the past I heard no one mention it although me and my buddy would rent it and play the hell out of it.

>Turok the Dinosaur Hunter - N64

I think other people like this game, but it got some pretty average reviews at the time. I always thought it was a great game and looked great compared to other N64 games.

>Street Fighter Alpha - SNES

It's probably the weakest port you can find of the game considering the SNES limitations, but I loved it anyway being a huge SF fan.

>>2352323
correction
>Street Fighter Alpha 2 - SNES

>>2352323
>I've never heard anyone else ever mention it, it was fun albeit too easy with infinite continues
Making continues unlimited was a mistake. It's actually harder than Contra if you play it the proper way (i.e. no continues)

>>2350626
That's a highly regarded game on the T16 and Megadrive wut you on about lad

>>2352331
I bet it is, I used tons of continues to beat it. I always thought it was kind of weird that a game would have a sort of built in cheat like that. I still enjoyed it though.

>>2352093
played it heaps on the SMS as a kid. Average slippy platformer, too bad the Gameboy version blows.

I still play the shit out of this game.

I've been replaying this one a bit lately. It's not bad, but it has some significant flaws like a lack of memory card saving, a confusing menu interface, and a retardedly high difficulty level. Shockingly, I've probably played this more than all the other TM games combined... which isn't saying much.

>>2352346
That game was hard as shit but I loved the amount of detail, like the TIE Fighters under construction. Never knew there was a Y-Wing in there.

>>2352323

Dude I had guerilla war as a kid and my brother and I played the absolute shit out of it. Were in our late 20s now but we find time to play it at least once a uear

>>2352708
My best friend and I go through Jet Moto once a year. I have some younger friends who are convinced that it is completely unplayable.

operation winback needs more love

>>2352719

I had the pc version, always liked it ! Jet moto's tons of fun.

>>2349453
Actually those who have played it tend to like it a lot, Anon.

ET's only real problem is a lack of content. It tries to be an arcade game by repeating itself after the game ends, when it should have either switched to a space level or just ended the game right there. When you put the player through that much shit, you could at least give them closure.

But as an adventure game, it's pretty good for a tiny 2600 title. The method of positioning yourself around the screen to use your powers is a brilliant way of getting around the single fire button, and creates interesting gameplay scenarios.

>>2350445
this game was hard as FUCK

Robo Pit. Game didn't even have music, but I played the shit out of it.

>>2350780
while you might be going for a joke here, I do think the "3 WAS BETTER" crowd makes it look like no one likes this game.

Anyway, mine... mine is a game that I know I am the only one who liked.

>>2353829
>ET's only real problem is a lack of content
did you forget that this is an Atari 2600 game or something?
Also it was programmed in two weeks by one person, it's a miracle that it the game is what it is.

>>2353970
Loved Robo Pit, I'd enjoy the hell out of the customization and the VS mode could get really intense.

Then Armored Core came out and I forgot about all about Robo Pit. Still, I loved it for those few months.

>>2346638
One of my favorites.

In the same vein I've never heard anyone mention Yendorian Tales.

this was some prime shit

fucking glover

That game was so freaking amazing and long... i never cleared it.

>>2354146
Excuse my rudeness, game is tie fighter on PC. You were a tie fighter driver who fought for the emperor (Starwars setting if you didnt get it)

>>2354131

you must be a sicko

>>2353783

Graphics were weird, but I loved this game. Jetpack level was a pain in the balls

>>2353981
>5 weeks

>>2354146
Are...are you implying no one likes Tie Fighter?
Are you retarded?

>>2346554
I know the edgy FF fans think this game is shit but it's still better than any FF past IX.

Cool Spot.
Judge me, but i like it.

>>2352064
Super James Pond on the SNES is actuelly James Pond 2 for the AMIGA 500.

the first one is shit. 2 and super are great games.

Snake's Revenge is probably my favorite Konami game on the NES. I get real tired of idiotic fanboys shitting on this because it wasn't A Hideo Kojima Game.

>>2352323

>People always refer to Tecmo Super Bowl, but I had Tecmo Bowl and I loved it.

Bro, people still love NES tecmo Bowl. But the SNES version improved on literally everything

>>2350625
Ah yes, Zoda's Revenge. Not as memorable as the original, but still good. I still have my copy, with the box and manual. It's still in great condition, too.

>>2354907
You're confused a little there, probably by the names of the games.

Tecmo Bowl: NES game
Tecmo Super Bowl: NES game (this is the popular one)
Tecmo Super Bowl II: SNES (and Genesis) game
Tecmo Super Bowl III: SNES (and Genesis) game


The first game, (ecmo Bowl, is the one no one likes (as much as Tecmo Super Bowl)

I was the only one who knew this game before I knew the internet.And after I discovered it everyone says it's just a generic plataformer or worst,furry

>>2355531
I loved this game, I even downloaded the barely finished beta version and the japanese audio drama.
It's not a GREAT game but I loved the atmosphere as a child.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6OVEhP0p48

Sure I've "met" "people" online that say they like it. But I've yet to meet someone IRL who'd say they like it or FFT. Which leads me to believe that I'm really alone liking these games and the "people" that I've met online who say they like it are all just a figment of my imagination.

>>2355549
Me and my two nerd friends loved this and FFT.

>>2355549
Uh, well then I guess telling you anything isn't going to convince you otherwise.

apparently I'm the only person that loved Who Framed Roger Rabbit on the NES. It just got a kusoge article on hcg101 ffs.

>>2356509
HG101 is the IGN of retro video games.

>>2356509
What kind of weeaboo tool uses "kusoge" in a non-Japanese context? Does Kurt Kulata thinks he's a special snowflake because he uses a term that's basically Japanese for "crappy games".

>>2355606
I love that game. Never come close to beating it but I love playing it.

>>2355549

One of my favorite rpgs (the remake, the original was good but not quite as special imo)

I love strategy rpgs, probably my favorite genre. The vast majority of people aren't into them though. I don't think it's a case of people IRL disliking it, i think it's just a case of people IRL never even hearing of it.

>>2356514
haha wat

Japanese version is better but they're both fun

>>2350625
Holy shit this game is real?! I vaguely remember having this game as a young kid. All i remember is that box art. I thought it was a dream.

Why did I love this fucking game so much? The controls were wonky and nothing about it really meshed, but holy shit did I love it.

This. I've never owned a Virtual Boy, nor would I ever after trying one at a retrogaming con recently (they never came to EU, and wearing glasses/having to cross my eyes meant the 3d was painful), but playing this on an emulator minus the 3d is the bomb.

I LOVE how they pulled off crazy graphical effects and neat little setpieces (waterfalls! rivers you can fly in and out of!) in wireframe polygons, and the whole thing plays like if Descent had straightforward one way maps. Just as much ingenuity in here as classic Starfox. Ignore the the system, emulate this (and VB Wario Land while you're at it)

>>2357763
Descent wasn't wireframe, and you could tell what was a wall.

Red Alarm is exactly what its title advertised, though, and there are certainly worse games out there.

>>2350068
collect those patty ingredients bitch!

>>2358354
wrong image

>>2346641
I feel you, but apart of the dragon, there isn't anything hard about this.

>>2353783
Did anyone else get the "A fatal error has occurred" message while playing this game? I've been asking /vr/ for over a year about this. I was way too afraid to play the game again after it happened. I was the furthest I'd ever been at that point ><

>>2358396
I used to play the shit out of it and have never gotten any type of error.

>>2356514
icy pls go

>>2348346
Game was weird as fuck. My friend had it, I played all my snes stuff there as I had a genesis.

One of the first games I ever played as a kid. I would also put R.C. Pro Am up there with this one.

Also, fuck Mt. Nasty.

>>2350298
I played it at SoM just a couple weeks ago, both were underwhelming in the same aspects. Important events are just getting shoved aside to proceed with the plot or rather to just shove the party to the next area.

It's a shame honestly, both games radiate so much potential at many occasions but they ALWAYS fall flat and remain a shallow experience. Wish they would've fleshed out the events happening much more.

>>2352050
>Tales of Destiny

You and me are nigs. But at the same time I think it's less only us liking it and more only us playing it. I remember PSM magazine had a huge guide for it and it generally seemed to be well received at the time. I think it just got overshadowed by a lot of more high budget PS1 games. And honestly the worst criticism I ever see against it is that it didn't age so hot, which as much as I love the game is a pretty fair assessment

You don't see a lot of Tales talk for anything before Symphonia anyways though and for what it's worth people have nothing but good things to say about the PS2 remake of ToD, often calling it among the best the series has to offer.

Rutee is best Tales heroine.

It's also worth noting that for it's time a lot of care and attention went into it's translation. There are no real typos or grammar flubs. the dialogue flows naturally and felt pretty organic.

they did ditch the skits, which sucks but as I understand that would have been a technical nightmare to do. they where spoken dialogues with no speech boxes too so you'd have to either voice act them (which probably would have resulted in shitty actors) or sub title them which at the time probably wouldn't have sold to well for an already niche title. Kind of a lose lose situation really.

best OTP

If by some chance you're still here; you just gotta level up your water and earth as far as you can. Water gets healing and earth gets shield, those are the only two spells you'll ever need.

>>2359602
AW,n.D!D!!!!!!

>>2352291
I like it.

>>2352093
I played that a lot. I could never get past the asteroid field stage once you get off Tattooine.

>>2354146
I absolutely can't tell if you're trolling or not. Best PC game ever.
