YES

Gunbird 2, my love
No one respects you enough
Lion you should play

So I'm Nuzloking Pokes red. I already lost my Wartortle some time ago to an Onix because I got screwed with Zubat-confusion and bind. Now I'm in rock tunnel and I just lost Gloom. Graveler selfdestruct crit. Second move. Now I know how it feels. How it feels...to lose your dearest pokes. Edit: AND T...

So for the record, Rotgut (the final level you did today) was the level I was able to completely break with Naija. Just dashed right through the repulsors without a second thought! I do honestly love that there are some levels that certain characters make absolutely trivial. You can also break it w...

raocow! You can see the grade requirement time on level select! You should look at it! I made the same mistake and actually messed up way more than necessary trying to be way faster than was needed.

One of those interesting video game tropes. Maybe it's an easy way to strip players of their equipment and put them in a sneaking situation. Or just to make you feel helpless. Some that come to mind are Chrono Trigger, Ys, Sword of Mana, Illusion of Gaia, Ocarina of Time Wind Waker Twilight Princess...

Neo Geo's pretty amazing. Too bad it's more expensive than playing golf for a hobby.

I'M GOOD AT FORUMS gave myself a thumbs up fart for that I know Gaiden is generally considered the best one and I really wanna play it BUT I'M ALSO GOOD AT EMULATORS and I can't get any ps1 emulator to work properly. I could probably buy the game though. I have a Japanese PS2. Just not sure if the c...

Everyone should play Ai Cho Aniki. It's a wonderful experience. And it's actually a pretty good game too.

Today I played Gradius 5 for the first time (screw roman numerals). It's amazing. I'm so happy.

Made it to stage 4 and quit right as I unlocked my 4th credit.

Edit: WHAT THE SHIT WHY DID I POST A POST TWICE

...I see. Thanks. Still think it's convoluted as hell.

I can't figure out how to delete my own playlists. I swear I've trial-and-errored through all the menus like it was in Japanese or something but I can't find. Please.

Also there's apparently a new copyright law that states you're not allowed to sing songs? WHAT?!

I did mention Blazing Lazers, and I don't think R-Type is well suited for a let's play either, considering how much it wants to completely murder your face. Side Arms is kinda meh gameplay-wise. I personally don't like Cotton but it would make for a good LP. ...I guess we're getting Super Meat Boy n...

I have alot of issues with Skyward Sword. The overworld isn't just empty but it's also very tiny. Exploring it is worthless. There's maybe two or three significant locations, and the goddess cubes are all marked on your map, so it turns into flailing your arms around until you're nearby. To me the g...

We should come up with a good list of TG-16/PCE shumps for raocow if he decides to do more shmups. YES. I love PCE shmups~ -Final Soldier, Star Parodier, Soldier Blade (in that order, and no Super Star Soldier (and no Blazing Lazers either, sorry I don't think they're well suited)) -Magical Chase -...

I could never get into Wind Waker. I've watched playthroughs of it and can see it does some awesome things later on, but I still haven't given it a third chance. Overworld is extremely important to me, and WW's overworld really doesn't suit me well. Which is a real shame because the later islands an...

Made it to stage 3 of Truxton the first. Game's about as hard as the sequel (roughly 340 credits total for me to make it to the final boss), except so far it seems to have less absolute walls, but it also gives you less breathing room...and there's no autofire.

Was diagnosed as an aspie when I was five. I see jokes about it all the time, and it only annoys me if malicious intent is behind it. Now quit crying like babies and talk it out like adults via pm ...no. Just no. Not okay. And just because you're a person with aspergers that generally isn't affecte...

Always an interesting topic. Alot of people are very passionate about the Zelda's and it shows when the games get discussed. Share your five favorite games from the series (doesn't have to be ranked), tell us why, and let us know what really makes your Zelda experience! ...keep it civil though. We a...

I know Jon's a big ol' intolerant dude and did a big ol' twitter drama pretty bad, but he has talent.




I mean come on look at that. Also Barry Kramer slightly related. It's beautiful.

I second Pulseman. I don't think we wanna jump into more shmups right after the Parodius trilogy. Also amazing would be Trip World (GB) and Gimmick! (NES), two super cute, extremely high quality (like, easily best on the system for both) platformers. Trip World is very short and could fit into one o...

I really think we need a translation project for all the Parodius games. Such a shame all those jokes are lost on us non-Japanese speakers. I mean it'd be a gigantic pain in the ass to redub Oshaberi in English and insert all the samples, but it'd be amazing too, no? That panda is still the most awk...

You made it! Next up is my favorite level in all of Parodius (though I can't speak for Sexy).

PCE: Magic Engine, Ootake for CD games
NES: Fceux
SNES: SNES9X
Master System, Genesis, Sega CD: Fusion
NeoGeo: NEOrageX
MAME: (shmupmame for lagless and thundermame to play various toaplan shooters with sound)

I wanna emulate PS1 but I suck at using plugins and it all goes to hell.
