Does this make me a bad person?

[mitsuman]

I love Military Madness. LOVE it. The game is great. I can play the same maps over and over again, without getting bored.

But as I get back into the TG16 system, I doubt I will be buying Military Madness for it. Why not? Because I have it on the Wii TG16 VC.

I feel like I am turning my back on some of my gaming roots but why spend money when I do not need to? The game play is the same, and that is what really matters, right?

Virtual Console, more Virtual Death God Set.

Yes, you are a horrible person.

I dunno... Its kinda like the ever drive debate. Its much easier and more cost effective to load up an everdrive to obey, but you don't get the satisfaction of owning the titles, taking them off the shelf to play, admiring your collection like a proud dad, fondling and creaming on them like Nulltard(especially Valis 3), enjoying the gloriously bad cover art, and satisfying that childhood desire of finally owning all those games you couldn't afford as a kid :-)

But yeah, I hear you. I'm kind of looking forward to having racks of TG16 games.

Well you must have been one of those over privileged rich kids that we all hated, but tolerated in order to have access to the games lol

Go get other games you rarely or never played. You can always pick up MM/Nectaris in the future, if you want to.

PLAY NEO NECTARIS, if possible. The original ROM from the Nectaris HuCARD is included on Neo Nectaris.... You can't lose!

 

[mitsuman]

Indeed I was. 
Tg16 and then with CD attachment later, tons of games, and a turbotap with 5 controllers. I also had almost all of the GI Joe figures available at the time, and pretty much every vehicle/play set that was made for GI joe.
BUT, I appreciated what I had and played with it all constantly.

I bought Ys Book I & II on Virtual Console over a year ago.  But now that I have the Turbografx-CD,  I'll be getting it on there as well.  The way I see it is physical, tangible goods are always superior to digital.  You can display them, show them to friends and family, and just admire the artwork on the CD/Hucard/Cartridge and box/manual.  It's kinda like the library or traditional bookstore compared to your digital tablet containing the same kind of books.  There is a feeling of grandness when you are standing in mountains of books rather than some device in your hand.  Then there is a feeling of antiquity when holding an ancient book that you knew has been around for hundreds of years.  Digital?  Either it's there or not.  If Digital ages, it will become a corrupt file, that's about it.

Another example would be a painting.  I would rather hang one on the wall than some picture in my cell phone.  That's why Digital things will never be worth as much as a physical object when it becomes a classic.

I have Ys on the Wii VC as well and plan on buying it after I have a Duo-R. I am going to try and find one with the map as well. I loved that game, and think I owe it a bit of respect at least, if that makes sense.

I'm going to try playing Military Madness more... I was fine on the first couple stages, but cant seem to get the rules down straight. I'm used to playing Advance Wars and I keep wanting to play it the exact same way, but then I get slaughtered.

Once you figure out a strategy, you can kind of roll it over to each new map. For a long time I always planned on winning by just destroying all of the opponents pieces. But then lately, I have been trying to win by taking over their HQ. A little more challenging.

I'm assuming Hunters might be involved. 99% of the time, your #1 priority is to develop a strategy to neutralize them.

That is usually first on my list. Destroy all flying weapons. Then long range stuff.

You are a terrible person...

But no seriously, it doesn't matter unless you absolutely MUST own the game. The only VC port that I can think of that is noticeably inferior to the original card is Devil's Crush. The controls aren't quite as crisp or responsive, and the pentagrams were replaced with triangles, or some stupid shit that I can't recall off of the top of my head

Thing is, MM is one of those titles that may just wind up falling in your lap in a raffle or sweet deal found on these forums.  It's a title that you should be able to snag for around $10, so it's not like it'll cost you an arm and a leg to own a hard copy.

Now that you've played the original a TON of times, you should move onto Neo Military Madness!!!

One thing about Military Madness is that I find it is uniquely well-suited to be played on my phone.  I have an hour train ride back and forth to work.  During that time I've played alot, ALOT, of MM using an emulator app.  The turn-based style allows it to be very playable on a phone touchscreen, as opposed to virtually any other TG16/PCE game I can think of, or have tried on my phone, which really require tactile buttons for it to be enjoyable. 

Now I guess there is something you can buy for your phone's touchscreen, like a rubber d-pad that sticks on the screen, or something similar to a "condom" with the buttons molded into it, that you wrap around the entire phone somehow.  I haven't really looked into these at all, but really they don't sound that appealing to me either.

But as far as Military Madness goes, in all honesty that is one game I play almost exclusively on my phone. 

Actually, one of my dreams is that an exact conversion of Military Madness would emerge as an app that you could play against others online.  Sorta like this game:

You could be like Nulltard and get a 'real' controller:

O.K. that's a nice setup.  If there was a way I could get away with that at work, I would be all over it.

I hate digital.
And smartphones. My phone is dumb. It just phones.
I use a crt real cards or cds on real hardware.
Emulation stinks

That controller is sooo cutes :3  i wannit

I was just asking Null about this controller the other day. I've been thinking about getting one just for convenience. Sadly, i don't have my Express with me wherever i go, but of course my damn phone is always in my front right pocket.

It's $30 which seems a bit high, but Null claims it is worth it. Not sure how serious you were about wanting it, but i figured just in case.
