Wizardy on pc98 is a great place to start. Then youll probably want to play mechwarriors on snes or eternal champions on genesis.

There happens to be several options available to you.

Every console has a top 10 list. If you only like a certain type of game then never fear there is a list for your preference. If 10 isn't enough then how about 20? 30? 50? 100? The sky is the limit friend.

Secondly after the nintendpopcalypse the best place to pick up roms is torrents, but that's risky. On the other hand there is still sites out there that still have roms, but you have to shop around before you finally find a decent site.

Emulators, by contrast, are easy to get. just search up your console of choice and pick the one you like most. If you pick a shitty one try again.

If you want actual hardware pawn shops and thrift stores are great places... But you wont always find something every time you go. You may not find anything at all sometimes. But if you are feeling lucky you might find something.

Finally I've always loved Mega Man. Make of that what you will.

>best way to emulate?
Is to not emulate. And if by Marios you mean SMB 1-3 + World + 64, you've started at the top tier of video games. Now I guess you can slowly work your way down until you eventually land on the metaphorical Bubsy, whatever that might be; I haven't played many shit games.

what exactly is this? does it just play a shit ton of games regardless of console?

>> No.5821462

OP played and enjoyed Mario so he should play some more platformers that open up the genre. Metroid or Super Metroid are good suggestions. Maybe Demon's Crest or Bionic Commando / Umihare Kawase. Or dive deeper with Mario and do Mario RPG or Paper Mario

arcade games m8,
if you want a good multi home console emulator i'd go with mednafen or retroarch depending on your taste.
recommended mameui over regular mame for its somewhat less finnicky about correct romsets

Don't be a console baby, download MAME and play some quality classics. Older console games are either mediocre wannabe arcade games or just plain bad anyway.

I got my ass chewed for using an HDTV and have realized the error in my ways.

Just gonna ask in this thread as I feel it’s kinda silly to have a specific thread for the question.

Was Lion King a decent platformer or is it mostly remembered fondly for nostalgia? If it was good what’s the best version of it to play?

No its not you fucking retarded 80 iq nigger quit trying to defend your shitty image.

Get Launchbox + Retroarch. Best combo.

It's fun to slowly build your catalogue. I personally like how I never have to touch my keyboard after opening Launchbox.

So it was a fad like amigavania and yeah I stopped coming here for a bit but I know I've been here longer than you. How else do you think I got my n64 to play snes games at 60fps with no slowdown.

Dude you don't even have saga 2 under handheld games it's one of the most popular game boy games and Jrpgs on this board. More Posts about it than "genwun" pokemon
