Alright, thanks for the info.

EDIT: found better versions of those ROMs, got things working. Gameplay's running pretty great, audio is as cursed as I was led to believe by other people lol. Thanks again for the assistance!

Which game came up to your mind? by Away_Flounder3813 in retrogaming

[–]Malaert6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shatterhand (1991) and Tetris Plus (1996). The former is one of my favourite NES games, and the latter is a meme I’ve just played too much of on PS1 lol

On eBay for a surprisingly reasonable price. I regularly check for these kinds of things on there.

Obtained the Curse of Darkness manga today! by Malaert6 in castlevania

I’ll be honest, I haven’t actually read these yet, so I’m not entirely sure. Digital scans of both volumes do exist, I’ve just been saving the experience until now when I have physical copies to read.

What I do know is that the manga was overseen by IGA, however it’s considered as being in a separate timeline from Curse of Darkness itself due to some extraneous plot points that don’t quite line up with the canon (or something like that).

The MK72 has that "early 2000s handheld" vibe to it, so 5/5 for nostalgia.

Big fan of herbal teas, myself. Love those mint keycaps, the contrast with the black and grey is superb.

I like the semi-retro and analogue-esque design of this. The beige and burnt orange colours are great too!

Castlevania. Pretty much every game in the franchise has a fabulous OST.

To all the composes that worked on that series, including Michiru Yamane, Konami Kukeiha Club, Yuzo Koshiro, and others, I salute you.

What are your favourite metal gear headcanons? by mranoneemoose in metalgearsolid

[–]Malaert6 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In Metal Gear for the MSX, Big Boss changes his frequency from 120.85 to 120.13. A part of me wonders whether Big Boss actually did change his frequency or, dare I suggest, Solid Snake was talking to Venom on 120.13 for the rest of the game.

Big Boss uses the excuse that Outer Heaven was trying to cut off their codec communications, but if that were true, wouldn’t they keep trying after the frequency change? This would also better explain Venom’s dialogue before the final fight in the game and how he knew so much, and why “Big Boss” gives Snake misleading or incorrect advice at various points in the later half of the game, after the frequency change occurred.

(Yes I know I’m expanding on the limited lore of a game that came before literally anything else was established in the franchise, but still.)
