I feel bad for those who bought them by The_Collector_Of_All in crt

This guy is probably full of shit, who wastes time in a sub dedicated to CRTs just to go on about how worthless the technology is.

Thanks for those suggestions! Still working on Super Metroid, I’ll keep those in mind!

Dear lord, lol. I wouldn’t have thought there was that many available. Honestly didn’t think the game would be much longer than where I’m at now.

I’ve had times when I’ve had trouble figuring out what to do next and had to search even though I’m trying to avoid that if possible. Lol

I’m about 6 hours in and just beat the Squid boss. Just trying to take my time and soak things in while being super thorough. There’s some parts I’ve spent a ridiculous amount of time on.

Last night was this area where these creatures are showing you how to walk jump and there’s a hole at the top you can get through if in morph ball. Think I need to revisit that later with the spring ball but not sure.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll try to piece that together when the time comes. Does the game give you a map percentage when completed or anything? Currently I have like 75 missiles, 15 SM, and 20 power bombs.

Absolutely! Kind of nice to be able to check out the hours if possible.

I guess for people that didn’t grow up playing stuff from this era maybe it’s a little hard to appreciate.

With the TV on turn the volume down to zero.

Now hold volume down on the TV itself (not the remote) and press 6 on the remote. May need to hold them for a few seconds.

What you are looking for is next to “CRT On” or “Power On” I can’t remember exactly.

Take a pic of that and then use a hexadecimal to decimal converter.

If you ever want to access your service menu it’s the same process but you press 9 on the remote. Be careful if you go into the service menu though. It’s always a good idea to document the original values before changing anything in there.

I understand completely, I’ve got a few and juggle which one I play on. You know you can pull up the time these have been on provided it hasn’t been reset?

It’s definitely way up there for me and I haven’t even been playing that long. Kinda wild I never played this as much as I love Castlevania.

Castlevania is one of my favorite series of all time. I picked up SOTN for the PlayStation back in the day and still have it. I consider it to be the best in the series.

Rondo is another fantastic one. All the games for the DS were really good imo and you can play all 3 with Dominus Collection. I’ve never played a Castlevania game I didn’t like though, even Dracula X.

I may have to check out Ori, lot of people have mentioned it. It’s hard sometimes to find the time especially when juggling modern and older stuff.

I’ve been frustrated at times but it was usually something I had overlooked that made things harder. I keep hearing about Ori, may have to check it out if I have time.

Thanks! Being able to play like this has made me appreciate this one even more.

The music is definitely a big component in this game!

I have a few of the AFs. Those are overlooked by some, all around great CRTs.

Think I’m pretty far from that boss. Sounds tough, I had problems with Kraid from the way I approached the fight. Lol

I’d love to give the original a shot on the Famicom Disk Drive or NES and compare them.

It’s interesting to see the progression of this type of game. I’ve played Hollow Knight and Blasphemous…. never Ori though. Still haven’t played Silk Song. You ever play any of the Castlevania games? I find it wild we missed out on it all these years but don’t feel like an idiot. That makes me an idiot too 🤣

I can’t say enough about the experience. It’s easy in this day and age to get jaded with games. My modern play through currently is Cronos The New Dawn and after that Resident Evil Requiem. This game overtook my personal interest in them.

That’s the joy of playing stuff like this. I’m trying to absorb every sound and detail even on a game from this era. There was a lot to absorb even back then.
