Only good game was Mario. I've come to the realization that 90%of NES games were the on the same "engine" (was this a thing yet?)but with different skins.

Well duh when you write all your machine code by hand and design sprites on graph paper of course you want to reuse as much crap as possible. That's why kids back then said they could "feel" a capcom game, a konami game etc. The hardware was limited as gently caress too, one of the main reason why everything looks similar is that all the graphics are grouped as 8x8 pixel tiles and everyone had to use the same limited colour palette. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Entertainment_System_technical_specifications#Video You try being original when all you have are these!

Kelfeftaf posted:the first one was fun. i don't think i gave a poo poo about the other two. what was the point of not having donkey kong in those games? dkc2 is the crown jewel of the SNES series- better music, better levels (except for Animal Antics. gently caress Animal Antics), and a better setting the only cartridge i have in the series is the first DKC. some kid in second grade always wanted to come over to my house and play it. he's got good taste

Carl Seitan posted:Haha. No. War was different back then, son. Yeah. As cool as it would be just to say "war. war never changes." in this context its not true. We're all older and wiser now though. Most of us former Nintendo Crusaders even have the grace and wisdom to mourn the loss of Sega as a console developer, these days. Instead of dancing on the grave while murdering what Sega fanboys are left, which is what we would have done if it was still the 80s. Honestly I'm really glad that decade is over.

Yeah C64 owned. It gets double points for being an actual computer, much unlike the current machines we are all using. Being stuck without an NES as a kid back in the day was still about as bad a blow to your social status and human dignity as can be imagined tho.

Also the 3do was a thing. with its smug commercials advertising it as a "middle ground" between the shamefully unassertive Nintendo and the flagrantly and needlessly confrontational Sega.

I like how people seem to thing consoles only recently started to suck complete dick when in the 90's while babbies played Mario kart adults were enjoying the golden age of RTS and WRPG.

Kelfeftaf posted:In order of quality: Only play BoF 1 if you have high tolerance for ...well everything. Movement is slow on the overworld, somewhat high encounter rate. It is an early era SNES rpg, and has all that sort of thing implies. The last two bosses also take loving FOREVER TO KILL. JESUS CHRIST. However, I do enjoy the atmosphere of the game. If you like ARPG like Illusion of Gaia, I would try Terranigma. It is part of the Trilogy. not in fact, but in a spiritual since. Soul blazer - Terranigma - IoG. It was never released in the US. You could also try Star Ocean. This as well was never released in the US. It is , in fact, one of the largest sized (in terms of MB) SNES games. They managed to do some amazing things with the SNES hardware by the end of it's life. Bahamut Lagoon (again, Japan only, but is now translated) is an interesting duck. Sort of a proto-Tactics in combat movement, you can "feed" your dragons various weapons and items and direct their growth (and their transformations!). Don't feel bad if you pass over Earthbound. I couldn't get past the damned inventory system. The game throws so much crap at you, I had to start trashing stuff just to fit in "Key Items". Yes, items you HAVE to have take up valuable inventory space.

I too am a veteran of the console wars, and now, as the rubble has been fully cleared, admit to being a war criminal and a turncoat. I was a die-hard NES lover, to the point where I can still name 95% of the US releases off the top of my head (yes, a special kind of Nintendo nerd) but when it came time to move to the 16 bit era at around 12, I jumped ship at the very last second and switched to Sega, and rode them hard through the rest of their life as hardware makers. I would get into fights at school over Sega doing what Nintendon't. I nearly even bought a Nomad at one point. I've made my bed and now must lie in it.
