I've always been interested in the Turbografx and would like to play its shmups and more. What's the best hardware option at this point? I was thinking I'd get a TurboDuo with an Everdrive for HuCard games and burn CD-Rs for Duo. Or is there a better alternative?

You can play 5 more games, including the most accurate port of daimakaimura.
>>
>>10907348
Remember the games are built in though (expensive and important ones like Rondo), plus it will give OP a nice selection of both HuCard and CD titles to choose from without even having to add more like anon suggested

>>10907379
turbo everdrives are $20 and the consoles are $120 so just do that instead of spending $200

>>10907386
No CD games with the regular Turbo Everdrive and clones

Some furry hacked their genesis mini to run the turbografx mini OS via USB, but never made a tutorial on how on do it.

My only issue with modern arcades near me, is i wish they still offered a pay per play model. There is a cool pay for an hour/all day arcade near me in a mall, but sometimes i dont have the time to play for long, but would love to pop in and play 50 cents worth of Q*Bert or something like the old days. I get it would be hard to seperate the all day buyers, but idk, maybe have a section of machines near the front or right in front of the entrance that are both for all day players and passers by. Could probably be a good demo even for those to decide to pay for the full day pass.

One of my favorite games, but aside from the spectacle the triple screen actually holds it back; shooting gets awkward if you're all the way to the left because of limited bullet count, the screen on the right is mostly unusable and items that end up there are easily lost. MD version is my favorite

SOVL. I still have my transparent Game Boy and was still playing Wario Land 1&2 and Pokemon Yellow and Silver regularly in the early 2000s. Unfortunately I sold my games over the years but I still have the Game Boy itself and bought a flash cart last year.

SHMUP knowledge and skill are cumulative.
If you already played a hundred shmup getting a new 1cc won't be a big deal, but if you're getting started and playing something difficult for the first time it can easily take 100 hours.

It would be nice if we could discuss web gamed like gaia, neopets, habbo hotel, tinierme etc.

like it or not these were part of internet culture and even if only just for the sake of "trolling" 4chan has been involved in a lot of them

He's not angry because she's not a virgin he's angry because in order to get her route you have to stalk her and her boyfriend and see them date each other while you watch like a cuck. I think he even fingers her on a bench and you just watch. She brakes up with her boyfriend and picks you in the end I think but that kind of simp shit is mega lame. But I also respect the devs for trolling the boring normies who pick the main girl over the side girls. Normies get what they deserve.

Also, if Muv Luv is considered retro, it's an obvious classic that's not to be missed
For ren'ai games/dating sim stuff, True Love is nice and playable on asenheim project. Pretty close to the original tokimeko in terms of stat management, but with less bullshit to deal with.
I still have to try To Heart 2, it's available in English and considered a good, influential game. The Dungeon Travelers spinoffs are amazing, so I'm confident it'll at least be a nice read

This might sound really dumb, but I love the stats when you get a game over. The hit to miss ratio gives a little bit more replay value on top of the awesome visuals and sounds and relentless enemies.

>lack of original soundtrack
That's true. I remember being at the dramatic climax and suddenly I'm in the Deku Tree. I guess if Subversion wasn't a thing it'd probably be my favorite SM hack

Super Junkoid, and Junkoid, were both great. They managed to feel unique despite the changes just being cosmetic. While other hacks implement new mechanics, and I think they're better for it, the Junkoids deserve heaps of respect.

SS-Tier: Subversion, Acent, Super Duper Metroid
S-Tier: Hyper Metroid, Super Metroid Zero Mission, Super Junkoid, Vitality, Verticality (from a technical stand point alone)
A-Tier: Redesign (original version), Z-Faster

Iam sure I missed a bunch and everything is obviously subjective but these are the ones that I fondly remember.

about to play this for the first time and yes, the translated snes version because I am too much of a poor fag to buy this on DS and missed the opportunity to get that version back when it came out in 2009 since I was young and didn't know anything about the dragon quest games. any tips would be welcome and you are free to discuss who is better waifu between the 2 in the snes version. got the game booted up on a little hamdheld emulator and can't wait to have a comfy time with it.

>You don't go sage for magic you do it for healing, everyone having multi-heal makes things so much easier.
I get that that makes things easier, but my sense of honor would never allow me to do that. Only one multihealer. The superstar gets hustle dance, so you can compensate with that.

>My problem is just that I feel like the job system in 6 doesn't add much except extra tedium, there were times I was grinding just to level up jobs, if I didn't I wouldn't have gotten everyone in their final classes by endgame
I never did that. I just fought battles as they came. They didn't master their advanced classes until the final dungeon. It's not fun to play the game overleveled in my opinion.

Why would you use anything other than the official release? Re-translation projects are a waste of time, fan translators are always amateurs, their work is only to be used if there is no alternative. There's maybe three exceptions to that rule that have emerged in the entire history of fan translations. Official translations are shit sure, but if there's a situation like trannylation in a modern game it's just not worth playing.

always used to play the nes version but after playing the gba version it sounds a little dry relatively speaking, both are good though. you also get the ability to warp to the final dungeon after a certain point in it although i never found that too useful.
