FM Towns versions are in 32 bit color, Redbook OST and have voice acting when MSDOS didn't. Play those, they're in English.

uh, this was like in the 2nd wave of NES games, save batteries didn't exist until legend of zelda
(technically a coleco prototype of tunnels and trolls had one IIRC)
also if it irritates you that bad play the All Stars version, it uses the SMB Famicom source code as a base and was supposed to be one of the launch titles of the SNES CD

earliest game I remember playing in general was a Super Pac Man tabletop arcade
earliest console game I remember playing was TMNT3 on NES
earliest handheld game was a cool TMNT handheld I had
earliest computer game was whatever C64 games were at my uncle's house

>>10865391
we called them RPGs
>>10865379
irritating since nearly all games were incompetently translated at best if they even came out here
virtually no VNs came out here, the only one I remember even being localized was SNATCHER, maybe Princess Tomato. I am aware there was a handful of eroge on DOS but I didn't know anything about those back then. We called them "digital comics" back then, btw.

honestly rear projection TVs suck and sucked then, the two things they had going for them were that they were less bulky than CRTs and had giant screens

>>10862332
redbook audio is pretty good yeah

>>10858996
How are you mapping? Do you have the manual?

>>10861694
was a good port of a cool arcade game

>>10864926
zoomer-kun, you are aware that you can get extra lives in the game?
also you can git gud, the game was literally packed in with the system at one point
there's also warp zones put in there for a reason

>>10864768
yeah and sim city 2k used damned near all the blocks on the card

>>10832380
Nintendo is ironically the cleanest company in Nippon. Maybe SONY rumours?

>>10841176
It was a PS2 system seller to the point that Hori made custom TTT arcade sticks ( I have one)

>>10821653
Yes but there's 1 level (canyon stage) where they really fucked up the collision detection.

>>10826763
how were they "overlooked", they sold very well at the time and were put in product placement in TV shows

>>10831003
>on the C128
Most of us would have been playing on the C64 or MSDOS. Anyway NES port had music at least.

>>10819297
I knew people who rented them back in the day.

Toriyama influenced so much shit. DB manga was around for a while before the anime, also Dr Slump.

As a Saturn autist, a handful of things:
1. Japanese shit we never got.
2. Fun arcade games from SEGA, which is what I wanted the console for in the 90s in the first place.
3. Very different ways to control games that were fully supported by most of the games I like: arcade stick for arcade games, steering wheel for steering games, light gun for light gun games, Mission Stick for flight games, fuck's sake even the mouse and Twin Stick (twin stick can be adapted for use for FPS and Panzer Dragoon games)
4. In system storage. I shit you not this was a factor in me getting a Saturn over a PS1 since PS1s needed memory cards. (Then I was pissed when I turned mine on one day and found out that all the saves were wiped; I never had a memcart but now my cart slot is taken up by a PSKai cart and I transfer saves to and fro floppy... yes the Saturn had a floppy drive)
5. NetLink. This came about very late but was extremely interesting to me, but we never got it since it was like $300. For reference this was in a time when desktop computers were like $1500-$2000.
6. Did I mention Japanese shit we never got? Back in the day everyone had a GameShark / Action Replay, including me, since it also served as a region unlocker and you could import arcade style games from Japan, as well as hack games for saves. (I knew about the "swap trick" but I could never pull it off BITD; if I could I probably would have bought pirated games at the flea market)

Sonic R was awful aside from the soundtrack.
