what are some good castlevania romhacks

When did anime start massively influencing western games? I know Half-Life has the Akira elevators, but a game like Oni is anime top-to-bottom.

There was just something special about those games...

This thread is dedicated to the discussion of any classic games made by Blizzard Entertainment; those being every game released from their early days as Silicon & Synapse to the release of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne (2003). Fans of Warcraft, StarCraft, Diablo and even older series like The Lost Vikings, Rock N' Roll Racing and Blackthorne are all welcome here.

Relax, talk and play. Let's have a good thread.

With homebrews, there is now likely over 1000 games in the Mega Drive library, and it's growing everyday, now with major releases from mainstream studios. The Mega Drive is essentially revived and a "current console" of sorts.
Yet we don't see anything even close to this on SNES, despite it being "more popular". Why is that?

It gave me nightmares when I was a kid.
Even today, the presentation and OST still give me chills and a sinister feeling.

Cdromance is back public, bros.

Playing on emulators is superior to the original hardware in 98% of cases

Why did Iga get so butthurt at this game, to the point where he retconned it? It's a near perfect mix of oldschool Castlevania combat and Metroid item progression.

>D00D what if instead of the player playing the game we just hack together a broken, busted AI that plays the game for you? wow.... I am... le visionary...
at what age did you realize yuji horii was always a hack?

Why does it feel like the SNES lacks any identity relative to most consoles?

The great debate

>playing video games at "that kid"'s house
what game?

Man... I'm that anon who's playing the series in release order, just finished this and as much as I don't want to sound like a corny normalfag this is the best one so far and it's not even close. I expected a storydriven '''moviegame''' because people here have convinced me that the gameplay takes a backseat but the materia system is just so much fun. And I mean I don't need to tell you about everything else like the story, characters, music enemy designs, prerendered backgrounds, etc, literally everything is 10/10. There is one and only one thing that I'm not a big fan of: most dungeons are way too short but that's about it. Will be taking a break from the series now. And it looks like 8 is when this Final Fantasy thing starts when some fans love the game and it's their favorite but the others think it's 2/10 dogshit, I've realised that it's like that with every game in the series from 8 onwards
TL;DR This game isn't overrated actually

What's the situation like for you chosen retro console for playing backups on original hardware?
Silky smooth with plenty of options including clones on alibaba?
Or are you held hostage to the market where everyone and their mother thinks their shitty sports games is worth 50 minimum?

Your universe has no meaning to them. They will not try to understand. They want to modernize, they need “space,” they will make crumpled bills and loose change with your nostalgic childhood relics…

Were ID Software really huge fanboys for Nintendo?

Carmack's original big tech breakthrough was used to do reproduce SMB3 on computers, Romero asked Kemco to make the GBC version of Daikatana like Zelda, and Tom Hall's Anachronox was mirrored after Japanese design sensibilities, not western. And I recall Romero's favorite game is Chrono Trigger.

A bit of a niche thing, but what's your favorite one?
And what's the most impressive one?

Why does SoulCalibur 2 feels much faster and smoother than the later games?

The great debate.

Can we talk about beating people who don't know how to sell games?

arcade thread
What do you guys own?
I have a MVS, PGM and CPSII.
Unfortunately I don't own a cab only two superguns hooked up to two crt televisions one for horis and the other verticals.

The cutoff period for what should be considered "retro" in "retro games" before but "not retro" after, should be around the time companies stopped including ambient drum & bass and jungle tunes in videogame soundtracks on a regular basis.

I'm serious.

IIgs was my first computer, I loved that thing. I got it when it was brand new. Mom even sprang for the 8MB RAM card but I couldn't talk her into the SCSI HDD + adapter card (which together cost as much as the computer + RAM) but I did manage to get her to buy a 5 1/4" drive to go with the 3 1/2" unit "so I could use my school disks."

I pirated extensively, my middle school science teacher who was in the Army before that, he was a big software pirate as was my English teacher who had a kid in my class. I still have a huge number of mostly working disks, including some which I drilled a hole into to "make" them DSHD or to convert freebie disks which had the write protect hole covered permanently. And it's mostly SHIT. I played Tower of Myraglen a few times, it's not randomized so it eventually becomes a bit old. Dragon Wars was a lot deeper and the IIgs version is GREAT compared to the rest. Full Metal Planete is great. There are only about two dozen games which are best on the IIgs though. Even though it was very powerful hardware for the day with perhaps the best sound chip put into an '80s computer, again which was sorely under-utilized. Same chip was the heart of many successful synthesizers going even into the 1990s.

What could have saved the IIgs? Free full 16-bit dev kit with each computer? Pushing CD-ROM more and earlier (IIgs had full CD-ROM support)? IIgs could, in every technical way, have run Myst all the way back in 1986. In many ways, excepting the 16-bit nature, it was superior to early Macs. It also has the finest most conformant IEEE floating point library implementation of all time, done by Kahan himself, a point which goes often unnoticed. It was never used by any serious programs however. He invented IEEE floating point as well as writing the code in the HP 12C calculator which to this day is considered the benchmark for accuracy so much that MS Excel copies its behavior.

Are these games really the superior action platformers on SNES and Genesis to MegaMan X and Shinobi 3? Did Konami really outdo Capcom and Sega?

I never played these games but might

Is float n' shoot it's own genre?

How did you feel about the rise of GameStop in the 2000s? They ate every other Vidya retailer during 6th gen and everyone went along with it.

>27,000 KNOWN games
>estimated tens of thousands of homebrew games we'll never see
kneel to the greatest 8-bit computer there will ever be.

In retrospect its kind of strange they made a video game based on Gilligan's Island in 1990

So you CAN pull off gameplay like this by now.. right anon?

Amazing game

Did anyone else play the retro TF games? (Quake TF, Team Fortress Classic, Unreal Fortress, Quake 3 Fortress, Fortress Forever, etc.)

The Japanese literally invented first person shooters in the 80s, several years before Wolfenstein 3D came along. It was also narrative driven.

>The game is Star Cruiser for PC88<

In this thread, we shall discuss games for the NES/Famicom that do not use any enhancement chips whatsoever; just the stock 1983 hardware.
A complete list of these can be found here: https://nesdir.github.io/mapper0.html

Which of these would you say are the best and worst, and why?

People will play retro games like this and say it looks amazing

Why does no one have nostalgia for Tom clancy kino? It's always just slop

It insists upon itself. I always want to stop playing after the castle is over

Can I beat CVIII within the next 3 hours? I game over'd at 7-06 and I'm back at the beginning of level 7 now. And can I beat it without yelling fuck and waking someone up?

New to the series. Which ones should I play? Are the early ones worth playing or should I just go for the biggest titles like 7?

Do you miss the edginess of the 90s?
