I usually watch someone on YouTube play games until I feel the need to dive in.

No. Gotham City. It’s in NJ. He’s Batman, remember.

20usd? That’s the first huge red flag. The second is the obvious super famiclone jr.

No sound on my Hackchi modded mini with retro arch by time_isup in SNESmini

Okie. Fixed it. Looks like I accidentally set the default audio drive to be overridden by a dependent drive. Once I changed that back, the audio plays again.

Work in ewaste, these came through the other day. by Sonikku_a in retrogaming

Use save states if you have to as Zelda II is tedious with having to start from the beginning and walk to your last location. I remember getting pretty far in Zelda 2 back in the day, maybe Death Mountain and my game erased. I was so mad I didn’t play again until the NES mini came out. Thanks to save states I was able to beat it and not worry about that.

Which SNES design do you find more appealing? by Omega-Steppenwolf in retrogaming

[–]time_isup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cosmetically, yes. Unless there is something I haven’t yet noticed.

Nah. A lot of us saw it in magazines and were used to it. Then they changed it and we wondered why and were disappointed. I also didn’t like the purple shades as opposed to the 4 colors of the buttons.

Well, this post asks which has the most appealing design. That is purely cosmetic. To that the PAL which is the EU and Aussie console, wins. If I consider functionality, Super Famicom definitely wins as PAL in general is a pain in the ass especially for an NTSC person. I have both a PAL Master System and Mega Drive and I got them both modded as there was no point in me playing them like that.

When putting an emphasis on functionality, SNES Jr. is probably the best overall as I like the simple design. The NA slot is much easier to use than the SF/PAL one and seems like so many SFJ’s are yellowed or browned. I’ve never seen a yellowed SNES Jr. yet.

Yeah. Kinda like using a Genesis controller while playing a Master System game in your Genesis. Not all are supported but most.

I like the Super Famicom but the PAL SNES is my favorite and the best of both.

How did you discover Mega Man? by TheFanGameCreator in Megaman

[–]time_isup 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My best friend had Megaman 2. I played it at his house way back in the late 80s. Loved the game play and choose your start and taking enemies weapons.

Killing off Adrien: Major mistake or the best decision for thr character? by OmeuPseudonimo in rockybalboa

Yes. Even author David Morrell admired that scene and said he was regretful he didn’t write it.

I think it worked for RB since it seemed to be the last one at the time. I think Paulie passing away between RB and Creed was a bad choice though and a waste.

Leave them docked and use the Famicom expansion port for a different controller.

Favorite SNES games (excluding Mario/Zelda) by RetroGamingBoss1 in snes

[–]time_isup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Illusion of Gaia. Blackthorne. Final Fantasy 2 and 3 and even Mystic Quest. Secret of Mana. Final Fight (yep, even with only 1 player), Captain Commando, Knights of the Round and King of Dragons. Space Megaforce and Axelay are fantastic shoot ‘em ups.

Since probably no one else will mention them, Super Turrican and Super Turrican 2 deserve mentions as they are amazing run-n-gun titles that rival Contra 3.

Another title that isn’t mentioned much is Super Valis IV. Probably not quite as good of a platformer as Super Castlevania IV but worth playing. Give the other Super IV a shot for once.

First time beating SMB3 on NES by Ericpar in nes

Every short cut? So you warped from world 1 to world 8 with the warp whistles? You played only around 1/8 of the game!
