What game is your almost 10/10 perfect game?
keep it /vr/ of course.

I think mine would have to be Megaman X, but I think Terranigma gets an honorable mention, only because I haven't finished but so far it's pretty amazing. Shame it wasn't in America.

[Anonymous No.2469296]

Either Donkey Kong Country 2 or Mega Man X1, I loved the HELL out of those games and still replay them a lot.

Oh, hey! I have that PS1 with the tiny LCD screen! I have a modchip in it but my original Spyro 3 copy won't run, is there a patch or anything for the ISO to burn on a CD and then play it on PS1? The original disc gives me a THIS DEVICE WAS FUCKED WITH message.

terranigma dies out at the end

id go with chrono trigger..

once you play 20 other rpgs, the common tropes and ez difficulty will steadily lower the grade..but what inspired you to play the other rpgs?

Any top tier Fire Pro, but especially this one.

[Anonymous No.2469434]

>>2469292
Chrono Trigger, Yoshi's Island, and Super Metroid

DKC 2 is close but I would not consider it 10/10.
I actually preferred DKC3 but I wouldn't 10/10 that either.

The one on the pic is a very good contender (Ridge Racer 4), for a racing game it has a lot of heart and style.

The one on the pic is a very good contender (Ridge Racer 4), for a racing game it has a lot of heart and style, and it had an awesome 60 FPS version of the original Ridge Racer as a free bonus disc. Namco was truly awesome back then.

Umihara Kawase, because the gameplay is so satisfying and the mechanics offer an unparalleled freedom of movement in a 2D game. It can be played and enjoyed at any level of skill. The ceiling for mastery of the game is so much higher than most games. It's fun as hell.

Mah nigga. VP is one of my all-time favorite games. Valkyria Chronicles didn't even match it.

Final Fantasy 4 is a game I've played over a dozen times to completion, so I have to mention it here. It's mostly a nostalgia thing though.

I... I honestly have no idea. I just took it to a flea market to be chipped back in the year 2000 (or 2001, I forgot) when I was a kid and they soldered the chip in. Only Spyro 3 (original) didnt run, but every original and backup game/burnt disc I have runs perfectly, and the lens still work to this very day,.

Contra Hard Corps or Monster World 4.
I love the music, gameplay, characters and stage design of both of them.
...Wait, Monster World 4 may be awesome but the bosses are lego monsters...
Contra Hard Corps wins.

Not specifically the gameboy version, but I do believe Tetris is probably the most perfect game ever made. CTR and DOOM2 are also up there in my opinion

[Anonymous No.2474008]

Tengen is the best version of Tetris, but GB is up there too

[Anonymous No.2474075]

Jagged Alliance 2. It's very nearly flawless.

Other games that came to mind: Solar Jetman, Rondo of Blood, X-COM, Starcraft, Valkyrie Profile, Star Ocean 2, and Parasite Eve 2.

>>2469515
I've been playing the original lately and enjoying it, though the constant enemy spawning bugs me a little.

>>2470023
I do love SotN, I just wish it wasn't so painfully easy. I know you can try ramping up the difficulty with self-imposed challenges, but it seems like they inevitably entail ignoring huge chunks of the game's content.

Honestly, as cliche'd as it may sound, my vote goes to Final Fantasy V Advance. I feel like it's just the right amount of story and character development, combined with a great soundtrack, and a job system that is only matched by Bravely Default's job system.

I know it's not a popular opinion because gamers try too hard to be HARDCORE and MANLY, but I actually like the cutesy "chibi" sprites of the PS1 version better, makes the game's look a bit less "generic jrpg" feeling.

It's not that I dislike the sprite style of the PSX version. I like it but I think, the style the SFC goes for "harmonises" better altogether.
The only thing, I really dislike about the PSX version is the music. I just don't like the sound of it.

Batsugun, Castlevania, Wonderboy in Monster Land

This was a really tough decision, but when it comes down to it I think it's actually Pokemon Gold/Silver. I was in college at the time and the games were huge there. Everyone battling and trading in between classes and that was when IVs and EVs were getting discovered and breeding still seemed esoteric. Plus the whole game felt like a big vacation which I loved.

Runner up is Ecco the Dolphin

Constantly trying to find every treasure in The Great Cave Offensive, then looking for every power up in Milky Way Wishes. Finally getting a 100% save file.

By far the most fun I've ever had with a video game.

[Anonymous No.2476861]

Removed everything tedious about RPGs and cut all the unnecessary crap. The story is paced perfectly, smarty broken into chapters that give you a huge change of scenery every couple hours. There's no grinding, difficulty ramps up as you get new abilities that actually take skill and tactics to use. Fun puzzles, side stuff, great writing and music, and some of the best aged visuals from the n64. One of my biggest gripes is that you can't save the game after you finish it and just run around the world after everything is over.

[Anonymous No.2476867]

Even nowadays, a lot of FPS games don't feel at least as good to control and move in as doom did in 1993. I think the Source engine is one of the best feeling modern engine for FPS games, which makes sense because it has roots in the quake engine, the successor to doom obviously
