String comment = 'This board is for the discussion of classic, or "retro" games, including consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games. Retro gaming means platforms launched in 2001 and earlier, and official game titles for those platforms released no later than December 2007 (homebrew console games made after this date will be permitted). The Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, and Sony PlayStation 2 will now be considered "retro".

String comment = 'Let us discuss the pros and cons of each party. As a reminder, humans grow depending on investing in potions and other items, mutants grow completely randomly, and monsters do not grow at all but can be replaced by stronger (or weaker) monsters.
>1 human, 1 mutant, 2 monsters
Perhaps the most balanced. The one human is your dependable fix-as-you-need character, the mutant is your wildcard, and the monsters are stable. Having two monsters allows you to double potential monster movesets, as monsters have less abilities than humans and mutants.
>1 human, 2 mutants, 1 monster
This is probably my favorite. Like the above, but a second mutant can add even more random elements to the game and can be more fun. Ideally, you might get one mutant that's really good in magic and another that's really good in agility or strength, but due to the random elements either one could potentially surpass the other.
>2 humans, 1 mutant, 1 monster
Really slow in the beginning of the game, and can be more expensive, but this is probably 50/50 controlled/random elements.
>2 humans, 2 mutants
>1 human, 3 mutants
>1 mutant, 3 humans
It's fine, but why no monsters?
>2 humans, 2 monsters
>1 human, 3 monsters
>3 humans, 1 monster
No random elements, unless you are transforming the monsters blindly.
>2 mutants, 2 monsters
>1 mutant, 3 monsters
>3 mutants, 1 monster
Very unstable party, but could be fun.
>4 humans
No random elements at all, and the most expensive party
>4 mutants
No predictable elements at all, this is pure gambling
>4 monsters
Probably the hardest party and will be very weak in the beginning as you don't get stronger monsters until later. Might be good for a challenge run. By the end of the game you can safely transform to any monsters you want though.';

String comment = 'Since 2018, I have been periodically posting a list of secrets, mysteries and oddities found in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Every time I post this thread, you guys have contributed more knowledge -- and I learn something new with every passing thread. As of this writing, the list contains over 100 secrets. In past threads, I've mentioned that I plan on publishing a simple, single-page website which documents all of these secrets. I still intend to do so, and I will share this site with you all when the time comes. We aren't done yet, though. I call upon your wisdom once more, and ask that you share any secrets you've found in the land of Hyrule. Anything noteworthy will be added to the list, and due credit will be given to /vr/ for what is shared on the site to come.
I'd like to post the list so far, but first, please allow me to explain the criteria: this is not a list of well-documented information related to 100% completion of the game. This list does not include extensive information about how to beat dungeons, find permanent items, or anything of the sort. This is a list of true oddities that the average player may never notice on a given playthrough. With this in mind, please note that even some of the game's most well-known "secrets" have been included for the sake of posterity. I should also mention that if you have followed these threads in the past, you'll no doubt recognize some of the secrets listed herein, but I have since expanded the list with even more entries, so there might be something new for you to learn as well.
Now, in the final hour, I humbly present to you the many secrets of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time...';

String comment = 'I've just played Chrono Cross for the first time and I'm gonna write my thoughts on it down (PS1 version bc im not a faget)
There's a lot of shit to get through here, if Chrono Trigger is a lean steak with all the fat cut off, Chrono Cross is like eating a jar of honey, its thick and gloopy and not always in a good way.
So onto probably the best part of this game, the aesthetics! This in my opinion is the most beautiful video game ever made. This is Square's cg prowess at it's peak. The tropical vistas, those late 90s green and blues which make you dream of endless clear skies. The CGI, the portraits, the backgrounds are all utterly stellar and I'm not afraid to say this game represents the artistic pinnacle of video game graphics.
The music is good and immersive but I felt it was weak compared to Chono Trigger. There are standout moving tracks like ''The Girl Who Stole The Stars'' and the opening theme. The music is quite atmospheric and the punchy 90s synths give it energy long lost from video game osts. However I didn't think the music was as outstanding as Chrono Trigger, it just felt weaker and often less evocative outside the best tracks. Still good however.
This is where things start to go wrong, the gameplay. The mechanics of the game while innovative and fairly stimulating when it comes to strategy at time fall pretty flat on the fun factor. The elemental system is interesting but the game feels so very slow compared to Chrono Trigger. Chrono Trigger's awesome quick battle system probably the reason it's endeared itself to so many normalfags in the first place. Chrono Cross's battles can feel like a real chore sometimes, so I'd possibly say the battle system was misplaced ambition, but overall pretty fine.
(Part 1/3)';

String comment = 'I grew up in the absolute peak of pokemania but going back and playing these games again it's crazy how poorly designed they are.
>The opening third of the game is brutal. If you pick Charmander you're completely fucked and forced to grind for hours because all the trainers besides bug catchers are nothing but rock pokemon and there is nothing you can catch or train that they're weak to.
>pokemon types are almost worthless because they barely learn any moves. besides pikachu, which knows thundershock as a starting move, everything else you can catch just knows tackle or scratch or whatever until you grind them into the 20s
>because type matching barely exists and everything you can catch is just normal type anyway, battles are just spamming tackle over and over. Moves like hyper fang and sand-attack are actually S tier because of this.
>trainers pokemon for the first third of the game are way over leveled, and then they spend the rest of the game severely underleveled. Rockets in Mt. Moon have level 16+ pokemon. Trainers on the routes around Serge have pokemon level 18-24. And then the entire rest of the game 95% of trainers have pokemon barely at or under level 30. All of the wild pokemon are 10+ levels under trainers, so you again have to grind for an hour.
And then once you make it through the absolute slog that is this first portion of the game, the game becomes boring as fuck because once you finally learn type moves they usually one shot everything. Going back and playing these is like rewatching Space Jam and realizing it's actually a terrible movie';

Yes, I know I need the rope to climb down the elevator shaft to get to the McGuffin part, but holy shit is it a huge pain in the ass to get the game to understand that I want to do that. I don't ever remember having problems liek this in things like the Ultima or Exile or the Dark Sun games.
Do the games get better? Either a more manageable interface or at least a better core gameplay that I can overlook how clunky the controls are? I assume they do because people always rave about them, but I was severely underwhelmed by 1 and just need to hear some hope.';

String comment = 'What's the opinion on using these to beat games? I've recently been playing a lot of arcade games, Bubble Bobble and Tower of Druaga in particular, and I'm having some struggles with how to think about beating them, other arcade games, and games in general.
Bubble Bobble infamously won't let you continue even if you put in more coins, if you run out of lives then you have to start from level 1 again. There IS a secret continue code, but... should I use it? It's in the game, and intentional, but to some degree it feels like authorized cheating. As if using this continue trick is robbing me of the experience, that my victory wouldn't be as impressive or meaningful if I continue when I'm not really "supposed" to. However the game's pretty hard and it's now like I'm bashing my head against the wall trying to get past a certain point; I gather up as many extra lives as I can and play near perfect until I hit my wall, and then lose all my lives and start over.
So what I'm getting at is, what do you feel is the "proper" way to approach games like this? Should a player keep grinding away as intended until they finally get past their wall? Is it okay to continue and get through a game so you can eventually 1CC it? And especially with emulated arcade games, what's the take on having "infinite" coins to play through with? In theory you could have brought like 20, 30 bucks to the arcade and paid your way through Metal Slug or something, should people do the same on emulators? Do you restrict yourself to something like "2 dollars" worth of coins and then start over, as if you ran out of quarters to continue with?';
