Post pretty environments from retro games and by doing so convince others to play them.

Keep on coping. realMyst has the best atmosphere, gameplay, and visuals of any version of Myst.

Neo Geo games have some of the most beautiful backgrounds

Even if you can't enjoy 3D, Masterpiece Edition is the same game as Myst, except with higher resolution videos. You're defending postage-stamp sized videos to try and fit in.
>>
>>10931286
Not really. Even I can find an interesting visual atmosphere to the original renders, even in small resolutions. They're all separate recreations from the original, each one lending an appropriately different but similar experience.

It's not.

Masterpiece Edition doesn't even have the full music in the fore-chamber.

Is this really PS1? It looks way too smooth

I was gonna post this. The Last Blade 2 has the most beautiful backgrounds of any fighter i've ever played.

And too bad that they are "hidden" into some difficult, and short gameplay.
It would have been wonderful to rip them and use them in a 2D rpg romhack, or something like that
>>
>>10930947
I keep hearing how this game sucks for 10 years. Is it true though?
>>
>>10931960
How can you say that? The character design is peak in Curse.

Goemon just has a pleasant look to it.
>>
>>10936548
I keep hearing the opposite - that it's one of the best games ever, and also really hard to find
>>
>>10936548
Half and half. Much of the complaining was because the years of delays meant Sony released a FF7 tier game in a post FF8 world. It looked "old fashioned" in other words with its gouraud shaded stylised character models and '95 era CG backgrounds. But gameplay-wise it's a solid RPG with some rough edges.
>>
>>10939654
Also I just realized that's referring to Panzer Dragoon Saga, not Legend of Dragoon. Is Panzer good at least?

Thanks anon(s), this game hasn't interested me before because I heard it's mediocre, but this inspired me to download it. I do like the backgrounds, the translation is pretty lolworthy though and the timing based battles are surprisingly hard to pull off (either I suck, or there's input lag caused either by emulation or the hardware I'm using).

I've heard it's like 50 hours long though so I'll probably put this on the backburner until I clear out some of the longer games from my backlog. Thanks again anon.
