Damaramu Posted May 9, 2005 Author Report Posted May 9, 2005 SNES Roms: www.emuasylum.com That's the best site I find. www.romreactor.net Isn't bad either. That EMUasylum website got my computer acting all screwy.
Damaramu Posted May 9, 2005 Author Report Posted May 9, 2005 And I can't find a good NES emulator on there.
Big Ol' Smitty Posted May 9, 2005 Report Posted May 9, 2005 ^ That's the most in-jokey thing I've EVER seen, and it must have taken so much effort. X-Box as Umaro IS awesome. Who's the virtua boy supposed to be? Besides someone who gets his ass kicked all the time. I can't remember, watched the video before lunch. But I think it was Gau. Gau was always a glutton for punishment. And yeah, it looks like they put a lot of work into it. Pretty amazing stuff. And it reminds me of just how epic that VI ending really was. Don't know how to do the spoiler thing so SPOILER ALERT Virtual Boy is Shadow.
Damaramu Posted May 9, 2005 Author Report Posted May 9, 2005 God damn this EMU asylum website just destroys my computer.
Lightning Flik Posted May 9, 2005 Report Posted May 9, 2005 ...if that one is blowing up your computer, I did say there was another site. Has other roms there as well.
Use Your Illusion Posted May 12, 2005 Report Posted May 12, 2005 Can I get a non-Nazi opinion on Suikoden IV? I'd go to review sites, but don't have a chainsaw to battle through the red tape. I adore Shadow Hearts (both) and have generally been a traditional RPG fan since Shining Force II days, my favourite RPG ever.
Special K Posted May 12, 2005 Report Posted May 12, 2005 Suikodne IV It's better than Suikoden III, and not nearly as good as the first two. It has a fairly intriguing plot (I didn't play through the entire game, mind you), it goes back to the engagingly quick system of the first two games. The graphics are REALLY pretty. The ridiculous encounter rate hurts this game BADLY though, which is weird because Suikoden always had a pretty low encounter rate. Four people to a party also takes the variety out of the game. I would highly reccomend you rent this game. I was high on it at first, but the nasty, nasty encounter rate eventually wore me down.
Damaramu Posted May 12, 2005 Author Report Posted May 12, 2005 Well I've been rocking out to Earthbound on my ZSNES now. Also going to play Mario RPG, Link to the Past, and Breath of Fire 1 and 2. Anyone know of any other good SNES ones?
LaParkaMarka Posted May 12, 2005 Report Posted May 12, 2005 Re: Suikoden 4 The encounter rate isn't so bad once you figure out that holding down R1 makes you go fast, including the ship. Makes those long ship voyages a lot easier. As for the graphics being pretty...are you nuts? The game is downright ugly when compared to FFX or SH:Covenant. I thought most of the voice acting was pretty well done though. I would also recommend a rent. It's a fairly decent waste of time, as long as you don't spend 50 bucks on it. Dama: If you haven't played it, get Ogre Battle. That game is all kinds of awesome, one of my favorite games ever.

Makes those long ship voyages a lot easier. The entire time I played I had the R1 button held down, making my character run like his ass was on fire, and the ship speed up to a crawl. The encounter rate is still awful. And yeah, the graphics are pretty. More for the backgrounds than the fairly generic character models. Most games are ugly compared to FFX.
Special K Posted May 12, 2005 Report Posted May 12, 2005 DAMA: Have you tried Lufia II yet? I like it better than most SNES RPGs.
Fro Posted May 12, 2005 Report Posted May 12, 2005 Ditto on Skies of Arcadia Legends... great turn-based, old-school feeling RPG. Obviously, if you haven't played FF IV/FF VI/Chrono Trigger give those a spin.

Use Your Illusion Posted May 13, 2005 Report Posted May 13, 2005 Yeah, the Suikoden screens I saw leave a lot to be desired. Definitely of a lower quality than its' competitors. I'm currently tossing up between Suikoden IV, Ys: The Ark of Napishtim and Star Ocean: Til the End of Time. Just sitting here discussing RPGs has made me realise how many fucking RPGs there are on PS2, it's a massive amount. Not that I'm complaining.
