/vr/ - Retro Games

My favorite fghting game.

Most annoying game i ever played. Can't deny it looks great though.

>>2556850
platformer/adventure game with very fun, different mechanics.

>>2556850
I love the levels in the Tactics Ogre games.

Gorgeous backgrounds

Another World (or Out of This World)
Waku Waku 7

>>2556853
The Misadventures of Flink was made by the same guys that made Loomax, they have very similar art styles.

Made by Irem, the creators of Metal slug.

Curious, what did you find annoying about it? Was one of my favorite RPGs of that era.

Legend of Oasis gets my nod.

>>2556860
It's super pretty, but that game always felt like KoF Baby Mode Edition to me.

>>2556915
Also by Irem.

>>2556928
it's supposed to play like a mashup between real bout and kof. I don't like the tiny sprites though, they made them already planning to port them back to kof.

>>2556925
The controls didnt feel responsive, it was very awkward to climb ladders; the camera often didn't let me see where I was going; random fights all the time when I was trying to get somewhere else; annoying minigames everywhere; team members joining you for no reason.

Axelay

Wow, interesting! It's one of my favorite games and I've always loved the way it controls. So interesting when people have wildly different opinions.

One of the best looking games on the original Game Boy. Irem published.

>>2556937
It plays nothing like Real Bout though.
If anything it's much more similar to a Capcom fighter than anything, 3S in particular. Right down parryiing and the homogenized qcf x2 inputs for the majority of supers in the game.

>>2557029
Guy who was originally down on the game here. It was the mass of qcf x2 inputs and simple inputs for other commands that was part of what turned me off it as well. It's not a bad choice per se, but I had come from KoF and having to practice at a desperation move to be able to pull it out on the fly. It just felt a little dull for some reason. Besides that it was just being stuck with only 1on1 battles and the small roster of characters

The fourth SFC Goemon tooks awesome, that's being a late SFC Konami game.

>>2556915
Metal Slug was SNK

>>2557274

That reminds me, the Go Go Ackman games have also great spritework. GGA3 is the best one and also a late SFC game.

>>2557293

>>2557287
OK I take that back. It was an SNK game, but it looks like they poached one of the Irem teams to created it. I learned something new today.

>>2557287
wrong

>>2556980
Just started playing this today. The first level looks awesome. Haven't gotten past that yet.

>>2557303
Yeah that's cool. I always wondered why their 16-bit offerings were so slim.

>>2556915
I love that level's windows.

PIC has the best sprite art IMO but snk games trump it in back ground art

>>2557048
I feel ya.
I don't mind the new character's super inputs because, well, they're new characters and we never played as them before in other games.
Terry's Power Geiser input being changed is extremely off putting though, shit just doesn't feel right.

When it comes to fighters I'm partial to Vampire Savior myself.

Demon front is pretty cool and not very known.

>>2556950

are you sure you're not thinking of 3 because I played the game recently and it was pretty slick

>team members joining you for no reason.

There's not only a HUGE plot reason why people tag along with you but they all have pretty tangible motives and goals of their own.

>>2558001
Not him, but 4's camera in comparison to 3 is terrible. I feel like the camera in 4 deliberately goes out of its way so that you can never see where the hell you're going, even with the ability to rotate it. There's just too much junk in the background.

>>2557859
Mostly because almost no one played it outside Asia and maybe LatAm...

>>2557859
How can I emulate this? Already tried everything but nothin worked.

>>2557596
Speaking of Darkstalker stuff, is the PSP game worth picking up? I've never been great at fighters but I've been considering getting it lately since it looks pretty fun, it's dirt cheap, and I always wanted to give the series a try.

>>2558407
Chaos Tower is a combination of VSAV 1&2

Seiken Densetsu 3

Romancing SaGa 3
SaGa Frontier 2

All have exceptional and timeless 2D graphics.

The PSP version (and the Dreamcast version it's based on) is an oddity. The analogy I like to use is that it's like if Super Mario All-Starts didn't actually have SMB1, SMB2, and LL, but instead just had SMB3 with the level layouts of the other 3 games thrown in. It tries to represent the whole series, but in the end doesn't. It woudl be better to eaither just emulate the original arcade ROMS, or if you really want a legitimate release, look into the Japan-exclusive PS2 Collection. To continue the above analogy, it is an actual Super Mario All-Stars, plus extras.

didn't the PS2 version have a slight lag? Or was it Resurrection?

My personal favorite version is Vampire Savior on Saturn. It's arcade perfect as far as I can tell, full animations, the only change I can notice is the sound, it sounds different, but not bad.
And it has all characters from all 3 games. I believe in the collections (or the arcade originals) you can only play Vampire Savior and Vampire Savior 2 which change characters, but neither has a full roster.

Anyway, the best thing to do if you want to play with other people is probably just emulate the arcade.

>>2558516
Sorry I deleted the first version of my post, it had too many typos in it. I've heard that the PS2 version does have some lag (and possibly some game speed inaccuracy), but in terms of content it still remains the most complete Darkstalkers release to date. It does have full roster versions of Savior, Savior 2, and Hunter 2 (full-roster Hunter 2 having some system tweaks to avoid being redundant with full-roster Savior 2, because originally they were exactly the same minus which characters were available). But yeah, for playing against other people, Fightcade is still probably the best choice for now. That or Resurrection.

>>2558529
Also, for novelty's sake, the PS2 version is the only release that legitimately lets you play as the boss characters in Darkstalkers 1. Although they might have been toned down slightly (at the very least it's confirmed that Huitzil's lasers do less chip damage).

>>2556950
I agree that Scias joining the party was a pretty odd thing. Camera things definetly agree on, minigames were kinda fun mostly.

You didn't find the insane difficulty spike when arriving at the emperor's tomb annoying?
Suddenly bosses literally one-shot you compared to previous ones that took maybe 80% of your HP in a single hit.
Not to mention they used Sanctuary so even buffing up would do nothing as it removed them.

Then you go to the final boss after 3 annoyingly hard dog bosses that one shot you and.. the final boss is the easiest piece of shit ever.
He doesn't one-shot you, he doesn't cancel buffs, I was even able to make my low level party faster than him after buffing up.

My main issue with BoF4 is the difficulty.
Early on it's way easy, late on it suddenly spikes for few bosses, yet the last boss is laughably easy. Sorry to derail the thread a bit!

>no Rondo of Blood
what a shame

>>2558339
MAME. You will need the files pgm.zip (PGM bios) and dmnfrnt.zip

>>2558505
>Romancing SaGa 3

The enemy sprites are just gorgeous.

>>2558732
i have both but the game doesn't run.

>>2558407
The only issue I had with the PSP one (and same problem with SFA3) is, being a 6-button fast-paced fighting game on a handheld console, it felt umconfortable because the fast combos didn't translate well on the PSP. Is different if you compare it with SF2, which is more slow-paced.

>>2558954
Check you MAME version? The protection wasn't cracked for a while.

>>2558954
I love retards who can't get the thing to run.

>>2560262
Was there a point of using anyone other than jake and dr j?

Their mascots being able to cancel projectiles was op as fuck

>>2558451
>>2558452
Holy freaking crap anon, this game is amazing. Thank you so much for pointing it out.

>>2560254
it's the latest.

>>2560510
Well, still have the ROM with an old version of MAMEUI32 (0.145u8) May 7 2012. Maybe you got a bad rom or they made changes to the romset in a later version I dunno.

>>2560510
Try running "mame -listroms dmnfrnt" (Linux) or the equivalent Windows command and comparing the roms listed there and their checksums with the roms you have (in both the game archive and the bios archive). That should tell you what the problem is.
