[Off-Topic / Re: Famicom Collection.]

I use old audio cassette cabinets for storing famicom and genesis games. Works much better for the latter, since stupid nintendo did not put spine labels, but it's still a great, cheap way to store them.

I'd love to see the article on Star Fox 2 in that issue.

Nothing too exciting (sorry, don't have a scanner handy):

[General Gaming / Re: Playstation kicked fucking ass]

A lot of games back then look fuckin goofy now, but some looked goofy at the time, too.


I was playing Battle Arena Toshinden, lol...

they look so derpy.

Battle Arena Toshinden, Wipeout and Jumping Flash were the games that sold me on picking up a PSX over the Saturn. It was a good decision in hindsight, but even back then, I remember how disappointing BAT was.

It's kinda funny looking back, because that game got some heavy praise when it came out, with some mags (Game Players...) proclaiming it was the best fighter ever.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Component Video & RGB OSSC VS FRAMEMEISTER Comparison]

I personally prefer how games look in a CRT as opposed to LCD through upscaler, because of the aforementioned "glow" that the CRT gives the graphics. Although not as extreme, it is akin to the difference between playing Vectrex on that ipad emulator versus the real thing.

With that said, I like the OSSC better for RGB 240P sources, in comparison to the Framemeister. Main reason is that the interface is much cleaner and the colors seem to be closer to what I can get in the CRT. Might be placebo effect, but I also feel like it is more responsive than going through the FM.

The FM I only use for 480i PS2 through component and the PSP GO for native PSP games full screen. 480i is definitely the OSSC achilles heel, so the FM is still the best choice for deinterlacing.

I have a very small space for my "game room", as I have to share it with a home office and a mini music studio, and still was able to fit a 20" CRT and a 32" LCD, so it is possible with a little planning.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Dragon Spirit Expanding Thingies in Level 3]

Alright, I think I could get to Level 6's boss without getting hit, which would mean I could actually beat the fucker. But I always get hit a couple of times by those damn expanding (plant?) thingies that seem to have a random pattern and continuously follow me throughout the level and always mess up my run.

Saw a longplay where the player was able to actually destroy them using fully powered 3headed mode, but that doesn't seem to work for me. So, how do you deal with those? Any tricks?

It's these bastards:

[General Gaming / Re: CheapNES - what game to buy?]

I recommend Guerrilla War so you can have the best recreation of the Cuban revolution ever. It's so realistic you can smell the tobacco and sugar canes while playing.

Gotta become one of the HEROS of the revolution.

buy this game, it's ikari warriors: the good edition

They were going for "Héroes de la Revolución", but ran out of space and couldn't figure out how to implement the literal accent, so instead they opted for Engrish, It was a conscious decision for sure.

Speaking of Hudson, I was looking to add Adventure Island III to my collection, as I've never really played that one and love the series, but then saw the ebay prices.

Thank god for the everdrive!

[Off-Topic / Re: PCEngineFX Picture Thread (Formerly "Mugs")]

This thread has been around for a while but I never felt like I had a decent photo to submit. 

Is the PSP GO for sale?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Favorite PCE cover art?]

Some of my favorites have already been posted: Gradius, Download, Gate of Thunder, Side Arms and Cadash.

But here's another one I love.



I also love how all of the above's (sans GoT) graphics look in the HuCard itself, especially when inserted into a Coregrafx.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PC Engine Pixelization]

Not sure what type of effect is being used, but I've always found the title screen in Zipang pretty impressive.

Cool game also.

oh that rotating map kinda like a yoshi island rotating thing..

Yes, thanks!

All I can say is...

That's awesome.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Ripped graphics from games]

I absolutely love these two images:




That landscape, with the sword, and the music playing at the end of Valis II....very classy.

ALSO: to think that, until now, I have only seen these images scrolling, and never as complete static compositions, is crazy.



Thank you.

I want to print and frame that last image to hang it on my game room.
