/vr/ - Retro Games

>>555384
Chrono Trigger
>Towards the beginning, past the futuristic part the first time and now I'm stuck on a boss in some cave.

Link's Awakening
>Just beat the boss in Tail's Cave.

>Shantae
I've had to stop and fap 3 times now, so pretty slow

Grandia, at the Twin Towers near the end of the first disc.

>illbleed
End of the first level, christ the area attack of the boss is absurd. If he hits you once off the platforms you will never be able to get away from him again.
>Zombie Revenge
This shit is hilarious, can't wait to play through with a bro

Suikoden II: Just finished killing Blight, Tinto Neclord bullshit next.

Genghis Khan II: Playing as France is suffering until you raise good sons and a badass army some thirty years from the start. Jesus fuck.

Actraiser: Pain in the ass with keyboard. A true hell. Just moved to Bloodpool.

I want to play Suikoden I again, dammit, but can't into PSX emulation, mainly because I can't find decent ISOs no matter how hard I look. Oh well.

Valis 1 to 4:
>Figured out that Valis on Turbografx is better so I spend one day to download and convert the games to play them on my PSP. Searching for Valis 2 on MSX.

Link to the Past:
>Completed first dungeon. I finished it before but I want to play it again before play Oracles for first time.

Desperados:
>Installing a virtual machine with Windows 98 because incompatibilities with this game.

>Shaq Fu
Played it for like 10 minutes then threw it out the window.

Started a new playthrough on Shining Force 1, haven't got very far though.

Oracle of Seasons, about mid-game in that.

Vagrant Story again.

SMAC, on and off. Scared to dedicate too much time to it because I'll stop playing and notice I missed a few birthdays.

Last Blade on the Wii VC (not really a progress-type game, just love playing that shit)

Kind of cheating here, but Tactics Ogre remake for PSP

Got my Dual Shock USB adapter recently so I should be getting through that retro (replay) backlog.

>>556392

You obviously weren't playing the MD version

>Majin Tensei
47th chapter. This game shows no signs of ending.

>Wario Land II
3rd Chapter. Just as good as I remember it.

>Majora's mask
First time playing it actually, stuck at the zora place right now
>Earthworm Jim
At the last level
>Pokemon Blue kaizo
The rom hack isn't really retro I guess but whatever. Just beat koga, he had all level 60's. Brutally hard game

>>556370
>mainly because I can't find decent ISOs
Are you looking for ultra-rare shit? Because PSX stuff is easy as fuck to find, it's as simple as '[game name] PSX ISO' in google

On Shantae I have the monkey form and just beat the first dungeon. I have no idea how far left I had to go but this games seems pretty long already. This is a good thing but I haven't been motivated to finish it up.

Played Road Rash 64 up to Level 4, might play it later if I feel like it.

The only other thing I have is the literal beginning of Breath of Fire. After I woke up to find nobody remembers me I stopped and could never pick it up again. I'm just not in the RPG mood anymore it seems like.

>LoZ: Oracle of Seasons
Almost done with the 5th dungeon, so a good ways in.
>Kirby's Adventure
World 7, almost done.

Chrono Trigger and now im going to play Zelda: Link to the past, stoned newfag to NES rpgs here.

started Ultima 7 - The Black Gate again

Zelda 1 Quest 2.

Almost missed the secret back room of the "D" dungeon.

>>556509
You might want to download the translation patch for Breath of Fire II, it makes the game much more bearable

I just beat Skyward Sword, and I want to play some other zeldas now, but I can't decided

Also, Crash Team Racing.

>>556584
>Skyward Sword
>>>/out/

>>556554

I have it, but thanks for the warning.

>>556590
What? I wanted to play it It's not even that bad
I think I might do an oracle game, I played them because they seemed to similar to Link's Awakening

>>556613
I never played them*

>>556613

>not even that bad

You must've had a bit of a bump on the noggin whilst booting it up, huh?

>>556617
You should have stopped wiith 'I played them because...'

You're only making it look more like you need to commit sudoku asap.

>>556554
What's the issue with the real version?

>>556619
I liked it too. Save for the annoyances like Fi's constant yammering and the dragon filler.

>>556613
>skyward sword
>not even that bad

getaloadofthisguy.jpeg.gif.rtf

man, why are you even here? Go jerk off to Wind Waker, you gigantic faggot.

>>556645
the last 3rd was shameless filler, but anyway let's talk about retro games were playing

Anyone else playing Wario Land?

>>556645

You obviously haven't grown cynical and impatient like I have. There wasn't even any wanking material in SS, save for maybe Impa.

>>556670
>not jerking it to oneechan Zelda
Okay seriously, stop derailing this dude's thread now.

>>555384

Just started Resident Evil 2. Didn't remember how fucked the controls were. Nostalgia.

Also starting A Link to the Past tomorrow.

Super Star Wars - 2nd level

>>556696

Oneechan zelda is garbage and you should feel bad for even considering it

sage for complete ridiculousness that isn't relative

>>555384
I'm on level 4-1 of Famicom Metal Storm on expert and on level 3 of Famicom Holy Diver. Irem didn't know mercy.

I've been replaying Majora's Mask. I actually started playing it again yesterday, so I just got out of Deku form and heading to Woodfall. I forgot how much of a creepy atmosphere this gane had

>>556771
no... no they didnt. and metal storm is a solid title. I beat it back when it was still in stores and rentable. definetly a good title. Gets hard later on in the game but oh so satsifying to beat it

>Shining Force III
I just modded my Saturn a few days ago and have been playing this for the first time. I'm at the second battle after you get Obright and escape the town. This game is text heavy.

>Crash Bandicoot 1&2
I forget what level I'm on in 1 and I just started playing 2.

>Mega man 8
My first play through. I've only defeated Tengu man so far.

Im Playing LoZ. Cant fininish level 5.

>>556536

Same here, actually, but I think I'm stuck. I need to find whatever shop sells the blue ring / roast so I can feed the moblin in level 3 and progress.

>>556830
>hard
I can get a deathless run of the normal game, but the expert mode... it's something else.

>Mega Man 2
had been trying to beat it for about 2 weeks on and off. finally did like 3 days ago. shit was cash. hardest parts were that part in quickmans stage and that room in wilys fortress u have to beat with the crash bombs.

>Sunset Riders
me and my cousin beat it after a hellish friday night. we mastered the levels perfectly eventually but kept dying in the last parts of the game untill we got it

>Zombies Ate My Neighbors
same as Sunset Riders, we're learning the tricks so far have got it up to level 13.

>Super Mario World 3
just did a run of it the other day just for kicks. overall simple but there are just SOME parts that stab you in the asshole again and again. it was a satisfying victory.

>>556392
i lol'd

>Castlevania
Can make it to Dracula now. I made a save state right after grinding hearts from the candles because I'm having a hard time with the Dracula fight. Please don't kill me

>Castlevania III
Made it all the way to the doppelganger level. Hard as fuck

>Ninja Gaiden
Can't clear the 3rd level

>Ghosts n Goblins
Can't clear the 3rd level

>Shenmue II
Stuck on the fight against Greg Moore. Nigga keeps getting me with ring outs even when I'm careful to keep in the middle of the arena. The whole 3rd disc has been pretty frustrating so far.

>Parasite Eve II
Just finished the first one this morning, so just started, but I'm making progress. The different gameplay is taking me a lot longer to get used to than I thought it would. Kind of wish it had a Resident Evil style layout.

>>556961
>Castlevania

You don't need hearts for the Dracula fight other the ones on the ones provided in the candles. Whip the last candle and get the holy water, then beat his first form with your whip (jump over the three fireballs and whip-smack his face). Then, on his second form, use the holy water to stun lock him on the ground and whip his face. When it wears off, avoid his jump/fireballs. It isn't all that difficult, and you'll have plenty of hearts.

>Castlevania 3

You can beat the doppelganger by jumping up to the two platforms on either side and camping. Whip him when he tries to approach/jumps toward you, and when he jumps (and looks like he'll make it), change characters. He'll drop like a rock to the ground to change, missing his jump. Change back, book it to the other side, and repeat.

I'm on the last level for this game. It's hard as shit.

>>556975

But PE2 DOES have an RE feel to its controls. Think first one. It helped me get through it a lot better, and then ruin its shit during its replays.

>>556961
>>556961
>Castlevania

You don't need hearts for the Dracula fight other than the ones provided in the candles at/on the way to the fight. Whip the last candle and get the holy water, then beat his first form with your whip (jump over the three fireballs and whip-smack his face). Then, on his second form, use the holy water to stun lock him on the ground and whip his face. When it wears off, avoid his jump/fireballs. It isn't all that difficult, and you'll have plenty of hearts.

I'm on the last level for this game. It's hard as shit.

>Star Ocean
Just completed the Parj Temple, heading to the Van Kingdom (where ever the hell the is...)

> Fantasy Zone
Stage 3, I don't know why I decided to do one a day, it takes about two minutes each

> Bomberman NES
28/50

> Kid Icarus
1-4

I'm in the middle of a Morrowind run, trying to get as much as I can in one run through. Just finished a good portion of the vanilla game, main quest, and worked on the factions.

Now I'm working through Tribunal while I build up my skills for guild advancement.

>Donkey Kong Country.
Almost done, but I'm stuck because I'm shit at timing the barrel blasts.

>Imperium
Pretty fun, bit hard though given that it's not the sort of game I normally play.

Terranigma. Just got to the surface and having fun being lost.

Harvest Moon. I don't know what the fuck I'm doing.

>>556961
>Save States

>Actraiser
Still in Bloodpool, defeating a boss.
>A Link to the Past
Bearly in castle
>Final Fight 2
Beat it 2 days ago
>Super Metroid
Bearly beginning it

FFIV. The blandest FF I've played so far. Still, some measure of enjoyment is had. Sit on the sofa, watch some telly and mash buttons. This FF is a walk in the park.

Deadlock Planetary Conquest. I, for some reason, adore this game. I played the shit out of it as a kid way back when and still can't get enough.

Arcanum of S&MO. I play it on and off as the mood fits me. Still haven't finished it but mainly because a part of me doesn't want the game to be finished. I kinda want to be able to perpetually play it without ever reaching the conclusion.

>>557048
You don't need to fill a name, email, or subject. ESPECIALLY not email.

Lurk more. And welcome.

>Thief: The Dark Project

Replaying the series because I'm excited for Thief 4. Currently at the "Return to the Cathedral" level

>>557057
>Deadlock

LOVE that game. I have hardcore grand strategy friends who I've told about it who say it's their favorite game now lol.

Shame I can't make it work on 86x and I can't be bothered to set up virtrualbox just to be able to play it.

>>557057
I find the Final Fantasys that let you do job customization are much more enjoyable than the ones that don't. I prefer Final Fantasy 1, 3, and 5 out of the early ones. Couldn't quite get into 4 and 6, which everyone seems to have a hard-on for.

>>557076
Give Fantasy General a try too. Addictive as hell. With some awesome music scores.
Also Conquest of the New World. Not as good, but still pretty fun for the time.

>>557068
Ahhh.. well thank you anon and will lurk

Working on my Smash Bros. 64 skills. I got my ass handed to me by my friend last weekend, total bloodbath, I'm beyond humiliation.

Chrono Trigger
just started earlier this afternoon, just got to the end of time and decided to take a break for food
I'd never had much interest in retro games until /vr/ was created (when I was a kid, I wasn't allowed to play vidya) so I'm really shocked at how much I'm enjoying myself.

>Final Fantasy V
Fork Tower. Mainly playing this now.

>Tomba!
I have two pigs in the bag. Haven't touched it in a week or so tho.

>Driver
Only on the third mission so far, but have spent some time just drivan.

Kirby 64.

Still gives me the feels when I first played it 12 years ago. What a great game.

>>556634
Translation fuckups (especially in equipment and items) dialogue was localized like ass, and there's a bit where you're asked a Yes/No question but Yes is actually No and vice versa. So it's better to get the retranslation. It also adds a much liked dash function.

>Breath of Fire II
I'm at Melodia/Tunlan where I'm supposed to help the Queen. I also picked up Bleu/Deis as soon as I got Grandpa.

>Final Fantasy V Advance
I'm doing a random class challenge run of the game. I'm supposed to be getting the 12 legendary weapons.

>Zelda: Oracle of Ages
Just got to the black tower, overall I'm loving the fuck out of this game. Can't wait to finish and play Seasons

>StarTropics
Got to chapter 6, as much as I feel that the gameplay is somewhat dated and mediocre, I keep playing for the awesome puzzles and music.

>Ristar
OMG DON'T EVEN FUCKING CARE WHERE I'M AT MY FUCKING ARMS ARE LIKE DOOOOOING WHOOOOOSH FUCK YEAH THIS PLATFORMER IS FUCKING AWESOME

Overall, I'm thoroughly enjoying all the titles I'm playing. I just finished Final Fantasy Adventure the other day, and that was a fucking gem I'll never forget. Hands down one of the single best Game Boy games I've ever played.

>FFIII (The Japanese one)

Found the eye of Nepto. Most annoying part because you have to stay small. Now I'm wandering around a desert lost as shit while some wig-looking thing parades around.

>Earthbound

Another run-through. Hell if I remember where I am.

I am also currently replaying ALttP, also just started Phantasy Star IV.

I'm just about done with ALttP, only have The last dungeon and last boss to go.

as a side question. Why the fuck is Link's hat yellow when you get the blue and red mails?

>Contra
dead
>Contra
dead
and
>Contra
still dying. If 5 year old me could see the loser I've become he'd an hero. Before you ask no I don't use the code

>>556619

Most of the game was a 7.5/10 but the desert sections were 10/10, bringing it up to an 8.5/10 overall. Most Zelda games are better but it's okay. The whole game should have been as good as he desert though.

This beauty right here

>>560216
Sprite palette limitations. Also they thought it'd be cool? Why does he have pink hair?

>>560245
>suikoden 2

mah nigga. finished it yesterday but worth mentioning because it was finally translated after 13 years. motherfucking suikogaiden vol 1.

Love the game but all of my why, every single time.

>DKC2

co-opping with a bro, currently on that pain in the ass web woods level, after this is DKC3 and then Returns.

>Mario Kart 64
I'm always playing this anyway, pure multiplayer fun

>Chrono Trigger
First time playing in 6 years. The black omen is boring as hell. Entire game is shorter than I remember it being.

>Castlevania
Beat the game today.

>Zelda 2
On 4th palace, still getting my ass handed to me.

>Battletoads
Finally beat the Turbo Tunnel. Still getting raped on the later levels.

Phantasy Star 4:
>Made it to the Hanger in Tyler

Link to the Past
>Beaten Desert Palace

Donkey Kong Country
>Up to Orang-utan Gang

Majora's Mask
>Just up to Woodfall Temple

Mega Man X
>Beaten Launch Octopus

>>560306
I'm playing PS4 too, first time.

Is there some way to get information about techs and skills or do I have to look everything up?
Same deal with equipment, how am I supposed to know if an item in the shop is better than what I have on right now?

I don't know, I like the story but I'm getting tired of having to consult the wiki for everything since the game doesn't tell you shit.

mother 1 (gba version, eng translation, on emu)
it's nice, but it could use more in-game explanations of things like story

>>560275

oh god, it's worse, the hat is purple, not yellow, I didn't remember that.

>>560317
Equip item, check Status to see the numerical change, unequip and try another item to compare. Yes it's tedious.

For buff techs the game doesn't really explain, but they only write once, there is no stacking like in SMT.

>Sonic: The Hedgehog
I keep dying at act 3 so I constantly drop it, and start playing it again after 5 days or something like that.

>>560420
The main reason of that is more because of how limited the NES is, I guess.

>>560510
Thanks. Sucks that the game doesn't give much help in the menus, but otherwise it's pretty good. I think I'll stick through it, everyone seems to praise it so much.

Just finished Earthbound for the first time. (tears were shed)
Now going through Yoshi's island. It's supposed to be Mario World 2, but still I think SMW is clearly supperior

Thief gold. just completed the mage's tower, fuck that place. not hard to see why it was cut from the dark project.

Just finished MMX6. Yeah... saving people while they're about to be raped by floating virus-driven tentacle monsters is not my idea of fun. At least the music was good.

>Chrono Trigger
Just about to get the Epoch, can't wait to go back to Zeal. Probably going to at least attempt to get every ending, I always have so much fun when I play this game.

>>560510

ew, you can't see if it's better before you buy.

Gah.. the game is so dated but people praise it so much. I also just started this game. The combo techs are pretty cool, I got a bit of a chub when I used triblaster against the first boss.

But the graphics and music just.. seem so dated in comparison to a SNES rpg, At least those 1994 and onward. It's comparable maybe to the first Breath of Fire (minus music) and First Lufia I think.

>Mega Man Classic

I got the Mega Man Anniversary Collection and I plan on beating them all. I previously beat Mega Man 7 so I'm going to skip it. I just recently beat 1 and plan to start on 2 tomorrow.

>Mega Man Legends 2

Been emulating this one since the ebay price is a bit too much for me at the moment. I played MM64 first and have been having trouble adjusting to the PS1 styled controls. I'm about an hour or so in.

>Legend of Zelda II

My friend and I are couch co-oping through all the LoZ titles that we can while intoxicated. We haven't had much time this month and it's insanely difficult for a Zelda game so we are still on the second dungeon.

>>560578
>But the graphics and music just.. seem so dated in comparison to a SNES rpg

Huh? Really? What's so dated about them?

>>560578
I kind of like the visuals, despite it being dated in your opinion. One touch I really loved in the game was how each party member's walk animation speeds corresponded with their comparative heights.

>FF6 with a hardmode hack
at the bottom of the Magitek Factory. my entire party is dead except Locke, I have no MP and only 2 fenix downs

>Castlevania III
just got to the main castle with alucard, raped frankenstein's shit

>FFV (SNES)
no crystals yet, thinking of starting over in order to find a better translation patch

>>560584

on the map screens they look dated. In battle screens and those comic like cut scenes the graphics look decent. The music strikes me as really annoying and I haven't heard a good piece yet but I literally only did the first dungeon. I want to finish LttP before I dive in for real.

Then again I'm kind of biased against the Genesis sound processor vs the SNES. I don't want to start that arguement again, but let's just say there's very few pieces of music on Genesis games I actually like, most of them are kind of revolting to me. The exception being Sanic games, for some reason those managed to sound good.

Took a break for awhile come back to finish.

Guess it's time to do PS4.

>Gradius
After much practice, I can get through the Moai stage. The fourth stage swarms you with bullets though, game is hard as shit.

>Dragon Warrior
Playing with speedup when I'm bored and want monotony. Way too much grinding even for its time, but it has a certain charm.

>Mega Man 6
Just started, trying to do a blind run.

>>557345
>Driver

I wish Rockstar got some tips about police chases from reflections or whatever they're called now

Dragon Quest III Super Famicom translation. Just getting started finally, I took an embarrassing amount of time deciding on my party, naming them and trying to get just the right personalities.

>Super Metroid
Near the end, I think.
>Earthbound
A little bit after saying goodbye to Brick Road.
>Chrono Trigger
Only played it for like, 5 minutes.
>Umihara Kawase (SNES)
Field 52.

>Dragonlord proposes I join him
>Out of curiosity of what might happen I say yes
>"Really?"
>Yes.
>This happens and the screen stays like that...
>Reset game
>Back to level 19 with 3990 exp remaining til level 20 again...

I really fucked up. I guess that's the punishment I get for trying to join the dark side.

I was seriously into zelda-link to the past, I just started playing it 4 days ago, I have never played a zelda game for more then an hour because there tediously BORING, buy I have never tried link to the past and it turned out to be AMAZING, I played up until right after you get the moon pearl and the first castle is your next mission, so I put some hours into it already, but not enough! my snes froze during gameplay and when I restarted it, my game saved were gone >:( ((((( :(, Im not far enough into the game to feel satisfied and im too far in to play again from the start, is there save states online so I can atleast just emulate it and start from where I was???

>Vagrant Story
I think I'm almost done

XCOM: UFO Defense
2nd mission in, got a break from this for a while

Playing FF7 for the first time. Enjoying it so far, though not entirely seeing what the huge fuss is yet or what's supposed to be so great about Aeris, but then I am still on disc 1.

bump

>>555384
>Total annihilation.
Just completed Core missions, started Krogoth encounter. Awesome game.
>Quake
Playing through on nightmare. This is still the best FPS ever made. At wizards manse level.
>Master of Orion 2
Playing an epic mutilplayer game with my bro right now
>Spyro 3
Around halfway through 100% this game, have just played through first 2 of this amazing trilogy. Emulating on PSP. Awesome.

>Phantasy Star IV

I'm having fun but

>no descriptions for spells

I've memorized what a few of them do, like WAT seems to do nothing more than big spell damage and RES restores health, but half of them I just have no fucking idea.

>>556878
Finish Crash 1 first before you start 2. Jesus christ anon, do you start dessert before you're finished with dinner?

>>561149
First disk is the best anyways.

>>559116
Seasons is better, although it has a smaller game world.

>>560531

To be honest, Shantae isn't /vr/.

>>570227

Yeah I dislike that aspect too. I'm having to look shit up just to figure out wtf it is.

Quick Man's lasers aren't even remotely difficult, stop being shit.

>>570295
>GBC, so it counts.
Shantae was released in 2002 and marketed as a GBC/GBA game. It's a modern product.

>>561041
>scanlines

heh

>>570307
It's GBC. People discuss plenty of games post 2000, so long as they're on systems before the DC nobody gives a fuck.

>>570315
>It's GBC. People discuss plenty of games post 2000, so long as they're on systems before the DC nobody gives a fuck.
I give a fuck. Shantae's a modern game. You should discuss it on /v/, which is a board for modern games.

2002 is not retro by any standard whatsoever, period.

>>570309

it bothered me to see it with snes9x's default smoothing filter, this helps a bit.

>>570317

>>556509
>You never get to dream about Mom.

Dragon Quest IV , this translation is shit but the SNES version has annoying gameplay, too reliant on dumbass AI. For now I get to play as a fat jew.

>>570317

I can smell the autism

System Shock 2

Finally found one of the SIM units after I got all the chips, and then I got gangraped by 5 shotgun hybrids. For some reason, it didnt reconstruct me, so I had to load my last non-quicksave save point, which meant I had to do the entire Hydroponics bay again

Fuck

ugh. fuckin backlogs.

i'm trying to get through shinagawa in SMT1 but i've hit another one of those roadblocks where my humans aren't high enough level to fuse the stronger demons i need to continue. so i'm giving it a bit of a rest.

i've also started metal max returns but i'm taking a break from that too, it seems chill but i'm kinda saving it until after SMT. might be nice to relax a little before starting SMT2.

I've got about 20 hours in Dragon Quest VII but it's currently the only DQ game i haven't completed. so i figure that can wait a bit as well, because it's extremely tiring and slow-paced.

On the side I've been playing Captive, and thinking about starting NOLF2, but that isn't really /vr/. so yeah.

>Link's Awakening
I'm at the final boss but I'm kinda fucking around looking for shit (I still have a level 1 sword what the hell).

>>573864

ugh. yeah, the enemy respawning in hydroponics is a bitch and a half.

also ops is kind of annoying with the reconstruction stations. sections B, C, and D all have their own, so make sure after you go through a loading screen you make finding one your first priority

>>573905

thats the thing. There's like...4 places alone right after you get off the elevator that give you a loading screen. It said, Saving game in the corner every time, but I was still sent back to Hydroponics

Maybe its because its a torrented copy...but still.. I was pissed off

>>556451
MT has a lot of scenarios, MT 2 Even more so depending on route (5 endings). MT 1 only had 2.

Paranoia maps, that is all.


I recently finished Eternal Filena. The Crystal weapons' abilities really carry the player through the game.

>>573895
You only get the Level 2 Sword by getting all the secret seashells and taking them to the Seashell manor

Playing OutRun on the Saturn and was playing Sim Tower yesterday for the first time in like 15 years.

Final Fantasy Tactics

Fuck Weigraf.
Gotta train main character to get Auto-Potion so I don't die from two of his Lightning Stabs.

>FF Legend 2

Got to the Giants world (World 2 or 3) and gave up. My inner-child is laughing at the casual I've become.

>LoZ2

Tried doing a no-save-state run of this. Failed miserably. This game is literally 2hard4me.

I'm debating on starting a re-run of a Zelda game that isn't quite as unforgiving as LoZ2. It's been thirteen years since I played LttP, twelve since I played MM, and eight since I (re-)played OoT.

Decisions, decisions.

Mother 3, currently on Chapter 5. First time playing a game from the Mother series.

I was also replaying FF7 but I took a break from that and started playing Fallout 1&2 instead.

>FF7

Got the Tiny Bronco and Cid. They're cash.

The King League hurts my soul.

I thin his hat turns purple when he gets the red maille

>>575231

yeah, he does, see >>560482

>>575241

>purple hat
>pink hair
>red vest
>green sleeves
>yellow gloves

Link has no swag at all.

>>575256
Ya know when you fight Ganon and he pulls his cape up to hide his face? Its not from the lights coming back on, its from Ganon seeing Link's clashing outfit again

>The only other thing I have is the literal beginning of Breath of Fire. After I woke up to find nobody remembers me I stopped and could never pick it up again. I'm just not in the RPG mood anymore it seems like.
I started playing BoF 2 after someone recommended it on /vr/ a couple weeks ago. I'm actually enjoying it quite a bit, although there are some puzzling design choices.

Why am I stuck using the flying town? Why can't I use the much more convenient, faster, and more capable bird?
Why would you do this, BoF 2?

>>555384
>Phantasy Star IV
Recruited Rika and finished the first Hunter mission.

>>556961
>Using save states on Castlevania
You've ruined the experience. You've ruined it.

>Legend of Zelda (first *real* time)
Fun, but dropped after the fourth dungeon because I never know where to go and walkthroughs pain me.

>Super Metroid (first *real* time)
More fun than above. Takes a while to get used to the controls. I hope it doesn't become more cryptic than the block you have to break to get the scatter shot thing. How was I supposed to learn you can wall jump?

>>576368

you fall down a pit and some little green creatures show you how to do it, without ever saying a word, you see them do it, so you try to mimic. They're in Brinstar.

>>555384
>FF5
last dungeon, just grinding out a few job levels. should finish this week.

>FF4
My goal is a sub-6 hour no-bugs clear. Current best is 6:30 with 2 deaths. Will be trying a fresh run next week, I think.

>Legend of Zelda
I've recently decided to start doing a speedrun. My best clear for LoZ was 84 minutes, when playing against some friends a few years back.. My goal is a no-deaths, no-save/continue clear in under 60 minutes. It's still slow compared to SDA times, but it's my own personal challenge. This weekend, I plotted out a new route that I think I can manage, and will be trying it out tomorrow.

>>576520
Guess I'm not there yet.

>>576548

>FFV

I'm playing it on an emulator and was grinding in the final dungeon until I realized "I'm kicking the shit out of these enemies" So i Busted the speed up and got the Jobs done much quicker. Maybe cheating I don't fucking know but fuck grinding for a week or more

>>574987
>FF Legend 2
I just started that one again for the umpteenth time; I never quite get tired of it. Decided to finally take advantage of certain glitches I've never used and outright break the game.

And after all these years I finally played and finished the first Final Fantasy Legend. I hate to say it, but I didn't enjoy it very much. I need to replay 3; it kinda bored me at the time but I didn't really dive into the mechanics as much as I did with 2.

>Super Metroid

Just got to the section after the wrecked ship, and am hopelessly lost. Oh well, what's the fun in an exploration game if everything comes easily.

>Mischief Makers

Haven't gone through this shit since I was eight, and damn there are some annoying gold gems. Still some fun shit though.

>Zombies Ate My Neighbors

I suck balls at the game, but it's a hell of a lot of fun. Still need to figure out how to kill that fucking giant baby.

>>555384
>A Link to the Past
MAH NIGGAH
>First time ever playing this, actually.
Shit, I actually envy that; to have that experience again. Damn.

Anyway, dunno if it counts, but I'm replaying OoT - just about to go into that desert palace too (whatever they call it in game)

>>555384
>Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds
Finished the battle of Hoth. mfw

>>555384
>Pokemon Yellow nuzlocke
Mixed. I have all the badges but I've lost a lot of members due to bullshit crits. Current team now:
>Gin the Pikachu
>Leeroy the Hitmonlee
>Jay the Charizard
>Silent Bob the Blastoise
>Manson the Haunter
>Vaike the Zapdos

>>574103
Oh man, I know. I think I'm near the end though. I can see two big castles or something. I really need some good demons. Every time I go to fuse something it ends up being worse than the two demons. I just don't understand it.

I started this so I could record it and upload it to Youtube, maybe garner some interest in a complete translation, but I think this will do more harm than good. This is legitimately the dullest game I've ever played.

Metroid. The first one.

Was on a roll at first. Got the missiles, got the long beam, got the bombs.

Then I got lost for a long, long time.

Then I finally got the ice beam. Then I got lost again. Then I FINALLY got the High Jump and the Screw Attack and beat Ridley and Kraid. Currently going into what I think is the last portion of the game with lots of Metroids everywhere.

>Metroid II
Just encountered the first Omega Metroid.

>Zelda II
Death Mountain.

>>576853

How is Metroid 2 in comparison to the first one?

I liked the first one but parts were just so tedious when you have to grind for health or missiles.

>Day of the Tentacle
Just finished it a couple of hours ago. I freaking loved it, from the beginning, to the end. But, I must admit, I almost gave up with some puzzles, so I used FAQ at some specific points. I'm terrible with graphic adventure games, but well, I hope I get better.

>Final Fantasy IX
First finished it back in 2009, and never touched since then. Strating it again tonight!

>>576873

starting*

>>576880
Was meant for >>576858

>>576853
It aged better than the first one. Opinions You don't have to grind for health and ammo when you start out, unless you die. Overall the challenge level, for me at least, is higher. However, if you dig exploration, the game is a long tunnel. Really linear.

>Final Fight 3

Working on my Haggar Tech and pseudo speed-run the game.

Its funny, I thought it was a standard beat em up but it does a lot of fighting game stuff like cancels, hidden moves and positioning.

>Conker's Bad Fur Day
I am on the boss in "It's War" and it is fucking awful

>Act Raiser
Just cleared the 3rd land

What should I play after CBFD? I want a good platformer that is more obscure.

>The Legend Of Zelda a Link to the Past
I just finished it, I tried to do a 00 games played on the KACHO one, but I realized that it counted the save and quit option as a game played too late.

>Spike McFang
Just beated the first boss, im gonna play more later.

>Donkey Kong Country 2 Diddy Kong Quest
I just reached the ghostly bird boss (don't remember his name)

Games I'm playing for the first time:
>Super Metroid
Having a really good time with this so far. Not quite as much as I had with Fusion, but Super seems to be massaging my brain a little more. Just leaving the ghost ship now.

>Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together
I'm playing the PSP remake, but I can't imagine too much has changed since SuperFami. Played the tutorial, and I'm really liking it so far. Narrative is good, battles seem to flow very smoothly.

>Earthbound
Because nobody seems to shut up about it around here. But regardless, a very nice game. The contrast between old and new really struck me most when I had to stand still for 3 minutes under that waterfall to get the door open. It occurred to me that no game these days would ever do something like that...

>pic
middle of 2nd level

>mega man 7
finished the first 4 robot masters....

>Super Castlevania 4
don't wanna talk about it

Just started Lunar: Silver Star (Sega CD) via Emulator. Liking it so far.

>Pocky & Rocky
Currently at stage 3. The farthest I ever made it legitimately when I was a kid was the last stage.
That game is just brutal.

>>576921

On the N64? Try Rocket: Robot on Wheels if you haven't already.

>>576964

Yeah that's what's screwed me out of 00 games, I always get tempted to warp to light world and save quit to make traveling faster.

I also don't really feel like doing it in one sitting, so I guess save states instead of save&quit

>Mother

Just got to Mount Itoi, or Mount Holy Loly, or whatever the mountain is called. Lost Teddy ;_;. Screen froze so I have to do the dancing sequence again.

forcing myself to play Rockman and Forte
so i can play Megaman 9 and Megaman 10
and move on to the X series

>>577124
>>577124
>Ubisoft

Fuck yeah. Ubi in it's heyday. I will get right to that. Just got to the Matrix level in BFD and it is fuckin tight. Rocket will be my next exploit I think.

>>576964
>>577126

Well fuck, I did it.

>>577787

.... you didn't upgrade armor shield or sword past master sword, but collected every heart piece, why?

>>577824
muh challenge

>>577831
It also looks nice on the Player Select screen.

when does DQ3 get good?

just started, did that tower thing and got the item at the top

I'm currently in the middle of my annual Final Fantasy marathon. I'm torn between FF5 next or Dawn of Souls.

>>577856
idk, the pyramid?

>>577831

Then why not skip all unnecessary heart pieces?

I've been trying to play Kid Icarus, but am stuck on the first fortress.
I'd say I need a map, but I can't get past the eggplant wizards without getting eggplanted and I usually don't survive the trip to the hospital and back.

>>577913

>>577840

I beat both the original Legend of Zelda and ALttP over the past two weeks.

LoZ was way more enjoyable in my opinion.

>>582251
Forgot to mention that it was my first time beating both.

Final Fantasy Tactics: I'm up against ELmdor and I'm trying to steal his Genji set. Shit is hard.
Wizardry V: at the 2nd floor, trying to get to the 3rd

Illusion of Gaia.

I am currently stuck trying to kill THOSE FUCKING VAMPIRES at Mu. Christ, next time I'm gonna make the annoying trek just so I can fight them as Freedan. Killing them as Will without a single fucking herb is just impossible. Also, holy SHIT /vr/ you guys were right with the creepiness and sadness of Mu. Those fucking spirits describing the horrible things that befell them after that mysterious beam of light hit there was just creepy as fuck.

>>561126
Jesus fuck, did you take this from a Yahoo comment?

>doom 2
playing for the first time and at level 11

>>583292
>I am currently stuck trying to kill THOSE FUCKING VAMPIRES at Mu. Christ, next time I'm gonna make the annoying trek just so I can fight them as Freedan.

Holy shit. I never even tried to fight them as Will.

They're probably the toughest bosses in the boss rush at the end game, too, even with your upgrades and Shadow.

Dragon Warrior - Looking for something to give to the wizard guarding one of the three treasures

Link's Awakening - Eagle Tower

Super Mario World - On world 3 but ive found all the star world secret exits except the one in level five

>>583463
>Having to fight them again

>>583548
They're not so bad. You're much stronger and are the next evolution beyond Freedan. I just tend to be careless because I want to get in there and hit them and wind up eating the damage.

>>583574
Well, at least there is that. Thanks for the encouragement, anon.

Just beat Super Mario World for the first time.
I was thinking of playing Final Fantasy Tactics, what's the best port?

>Legend of Zelda
Not knowing what to do in the seventh level
>Final Fantasy VII
Just started
>Planescape Torment
Have to find the key and the door that leads to Ravel Puzzlewell

>>574990
I love mother3. I also highly recommend the other two games in the mother series.
>earthbound zero
just finished beating giegue, realized how useless ana's final psi moves are

>A Link to the Past
Trying to figure out how to get into the 6th crystal dungeon where the desert/swamp is. There's a tile with a lightning bolt so I suspect there's a lightning spell somewhere in the game I need, similar to the fire and quake spells.

One thing I tried was going to the light world, moving those statues that get you into the light world desert dungeon, then going back to the dark world and seeing if it changed anything, but no dice.

Lunar: The Silver Star for Sega CD via Kega Fusion 3.64.

Just traded the Water Staff to the Old Hag for the Sea Chart and then re-lit the Lighthouse so I can leave Saith for Meribia. Loving it so far.

>Trying to figure out how to get into the 6th crystal dungeon where the desert/swamp is. There's a tile with a lightning bolt so I suspect there's a lightning spell somewhere in the game I need, similar to the fire and quake spells.

Bingo. Did you go to the obelisk to the west of the Tower of Hera yet?

>>583747
Is that the GBA version?

>>583798
Ah I'll check that out. I was stubbornly holding off my return to death mountain until I was ready for the 7th dungeon.

>>583814
Yeah.

>Spyro 1
Again. I have a state saved on Tree Tops because of that one fucking jump to the platform above the exit. I tried about 8 times today and 3 times yesterday. I'm intending to play 2 and 3 afterwards, but that probably won't happen.

>Unreal
About to start it. Played about 20 minutes ages ago and never came back to it until now.

>All these people playing/replaying ALttP

Truly a timeless classic.

>Talk about game from 5th gen consoles after 1999
>IT'S OKAY IT'S 5TH GEN IT'S ALLOWED TO BE TALKED ABOUT READ THE RULES FAGGOT

>Talk about Dreamcast games that came out in 1998 and 1999.
>WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU FAGGOT. DREAMCAST IS 6TH GEN READ THE RULES FAGGOT.

I still don't get how the above is acceptable, and the below isn't...

Anyhow, in related on topic news. I recently got into Banjo Kazooie. I've never played it before until a few weeks ago, and I haven't done much, but I can see why it's loved, it's a really nice 3d platformer, and it's really fun to play.
