Oh young one, you should really try some older games, specially now there's MAME and all those emulators, PSN, live and stuff King of Fighters 97 is awesome. Just try it. 98 is better but don't have all the story and stuff

All "Orochi" characters used to be mid-bosses, specially Orochi Leona and Orochi Iori.

I've beaten it last week and just wrote a full-fledged review a few minutes ago (going to translate it later) . This game was very good. They finally let go on having a Etna-like rival character and as result the entire main cast is pretty much awesome. Valvatorez the main character is a vampire, a former tyrant who stroke fear into the hearts of humans and demons alike but felt into Hades, the Netherworld's prison after losing his powers thanks to a promise: he refuses to drink human blood. Then he became a proud prinny instructor and avid fan of sardines (yup!) and was quite happy with the situation until he saw how the Netherworld had decayed after he "disappeared". Then he decided to throw the entire government and bring Hades to both the Netherworld and the human world to discipline them accordantly and bring down the terror they so rightfully deserve! His loyal servant, the werewolf Fenrich is happy with this turn of events and uses all his cunning and vicious methods to help his enthusiastic and a bit naive master .(He is so dedicate to the point the rest of the party asked if he was gay) Fuka Kazamatsuri is a dead high school girl from Japan (or it's equivalent) which believes she's just dreaming. She was supposed to be a prinny but the shortage of prinny hide was so severe they gave her a cap and "Good luck with that dood!". Desco is supposed to be a Final Boss but she act like a little girl and follows Valvatorez to learn how to do it; Emizel is the son of the president (you know, the guy Valvatorez wants to kick ass) and tries to stop the rebellion but is kind of a wuss and fails miserably and joins the party when the newspapers start saying he was dead. And, of course, Volcanus, the Angel of Avarice, stealing from the demons to send money to Celestia! What a party. There are few changes from the mechanics but they are great fun like GIANT MONSTER UNITS (Godzilla is now possible!) and dual wielding magichange! There are online features like map creation, exchanging maps, sending members to appear to somebody else's assembly and...PIRATING AT SOMEBODY ELSE'S ITEM WORLD! Whoooa! That's one fun game to play if you like tactical (strategy) RPGs.

Exactly. It's a surprisingly good game, a small gem. Too bad it's "big brother" is a worthless piece of crap. I still got to beat it, I got stuck at a part long time ago, formated the computer and...Goodbye save! Gotta play it again.

Yes, Black Chaos, it should. Dreamcast, GC, PC, PSN, Live, etc If they release this game for either 3DS or Vita, it is going to be the handhold system I'm buying.

Nostalgia thread!

I don't remember the first game I played, my dad got a couple cartridge for the Commodore. But I played more PC games than anything. Prince of Persia, sokoban, Commander Keen, even games like Golden Axe, Lion King and Aladdin I played on computer

It wouldn't be cheaper to buy a new PC altogether and sell the old parts of your current one?

You can try Random Select's Abyss and Apocalypse by Kung Fu Man http://randomselect.piiym.net/ There's also a couple of good characters so you might want to take a look

'Nuff said

So if I was a regular newcomer my argument would be invalid? http://mugenfreeforall.com/public/style_emoticons//tongue.png I played the original Pitfall and the first game I've beaten was the DOS version of Prince of Persia, goddammit ò_Ó LoL

Waruki's Geese, Rugal, Bison and others? Maybe JoJo's Dio? This one might be a fun mid-boss Adelheid?

http://rome.ro/games_daikatana.htm The Gameboy Color version of Daikatana is distributed by John Romero himself. It's actually good, it's a Zelda-like game EDIT: The game at his page is down, but if he's sharing, then I guess this rom isn't illegal

Translated from my gaming blog Fate/Extra (PSP) Some years ago Type-Moon released Fate/Extra in Japan. It looked like this game would never see a release overseas until Aksys Games quietly announced the US release just before material related to the sequel, Fate/Extra CCC, started to pop-out The story It was an ordinary day at school. People doing ordinary things they usually do, same with the classes, even through the subject is always the same but no one seems to care. A foreigner student called Leo started to attend classes and suddenly disappears and it was like no one noticed. The protagonist started to get suspicious and decided to follow Leo and find a door that wasn't there before. A doll, a faceless mannequin starts to help the character and follows into a mysterious dungeon that appeared before them, guarding him against the enemies. At the end, the corpses of many other anonymous lie in the floor and the protagonist is about to join them when a Heroic Spirit hears his (or her) refusal to give up and die. And so another War begins You can chose between female and male protagonist and between three different servants: Saber, Archer or Caster. There are few differences in dialogs depending on the gender (for example, there's an exclusive conversation between Archer and the female character about his preferences) and the lines are according to the servant, but in the end the story is the same. There's one decision that's is going to change your ally and two bosses at the middle of the game but that's not this important. The story takes place in an alternative timeline to regular Fate/Stay Night inside a virtual reality program called SE.RA.PH., which is a part of the Moon Cell which controls the Holy Grail. It means that some familiar faces from the other games aren't the same known to the fans, but other versions with different origins, but they are still quite similar. Each character from this game got a background carefully put together. The masters are quite a colorful cast, going to an old gruff soldier to psychos. The enemy servants are also quite good, sticking close to their source material and with some great lines too. The playable servants got their own moments to tell their stories in your privative room. It's also possible to interact picking answers that might change the entire conversation with various results. The script was written by the same author who did Fate and Tsukihime and it's easy to notice if you know his work. Every NPC got a past, every detail got a reason. Every Dead End and tension moment got some pretty good narration and there is a unique Game Over for every boss battle you lose. The game The game itself is divided into rounds, each one there's one opponent to be defeated. The protagonist got one week to collect evidence to guess the identity of the opponent servant and collect to "keys" to be able to continue. Like Persona 3, once you enter the Arena (the dungeon itself) you can't go back to the school unless you want to end the day. By the way, the Arena is just like Tartarus design-wise and general idea, but there are only two floors each week and once a new week begins the older floors becomes unavailable. But unlike Persona 3 there's some events at the Arena like treasure hunting, competitions to see who kills more enemies and some other small stuff. Some decisions made in the Arena can also prove fatal. The battle is like scissors-paper-stone. Guard wins over Attack which overcomes Break which defeats Guard. Simple like that. Only one enemy is faced at time and both can enter six actions each turn. In the bottom part there are the servant's actions and the enemy's, but only some of the opponent's actions are visible at the start (the more you defeat a certain type of enemy, more actions became visible). Against the masters, if you got a good amount of information before the battle, more actions are visible each turn. Given enough time and after some level up your servant is going to learn useful abilities, unique to each one. Saber is a attack-focused character, while Archer is more into technical battles and Caster got a big array of skills. The common enemies can also use skills but they use it at seldom moments, but the bosses use it all the time. The protagonist can also help the battle using items or supporting magic once each turn. The same rule applies to the other masters, and some of them can be quite annoying. Each time the master levels up, the player can use 3 points to level up any of the servant's attributes at the Chapel, where Aoko and Touko Aozaki help all the masters. Taiga Fujimura also makes an appearance requesting items from the arena. In a New Game + after helping Taiga with all her requests there's an extra boss to be faced at the last floor. The entire mechanic is very simple and easy to get used to. Every time before the day starts the protagonist recalls what to do or the servant reminds him/her. If the player screws up and can't meet the requirements to fight the boss there's a "Retry" option to re-start the week. Graphics The game got good models. The servants are amazing, the masters are well done and the backgrounds got many details. Each Arena floor got a theme based on evolution, the primordial sea and this is reflected at each round. After the protagonist finds out it's a simulation he/she can see the "data flux" around the school. Like Persona 3 this game also suffers from repeating enemies and bland stages. Each Arena floor got the same basic setting (no random this time) with semi-transparent floor and walls in the ocean. Most enemies are abstract forms, varying only the textures. They aren't much inspired or anything, but in-game they are programs designed by a computer which the priority is fast-processing data over detailed stuff, so we can try to do with that. Sound Every Type-Moon game got few tracks repeated over and over again but they are pleasant to hear so it's no biggie. It's the same here. Some rounds got their own music, but most of them are shared. The common enemies are bland both in design and sound. on the bright side your servant is always talking and there are conversation at the boss battles. Too bad there isn't subtitles or something like that. There are many spoken conversations, specially at the key moments. There are two routes and three servants in this game, a respectable amount of recorded lines with good quality. Aksys was wise to keep the Japanese voices. Conclusion Fate/Extra is like every Type-Moon game: it's strong point is the story. If you like a complex tale, with existentialist questioning and growing characters this is going to be a fun game that is going to hook you for hours. The turn-based system is unusual but easy to get, even if sometimes the inability of changing your actions mid-turn can be annoying. The game explains many things for the newcomers, so you don't need to have played the original FSN or watched the anime. Specially because it's an alternative timeline and the Holy Grail is very different altogether. Some references to the old series might be lost, specially if you play with Archer but it's not a big deal. In short, Fate/Extra is a good RPG for PSP. If you know the series you're going to love it and who doesn't is still a fun game. The New Game + feature is quite useful specially because it's a short game.

We can't distribute games like this, I think. Not on MFFA :/

The rom as a backup copy or being deleted withing 24h is allowed? D: j/k I know ONE commercial rom that might be legal as the game producer himself allows free-download from his blog o_o

Just got it for my PS2 because I missed playing it http://mugenfreeforall.com/public/style_emoticons//tongue.png

Not sure if I should post this one into "Microsoft" or "Retro". Well, you mods sort it out http://mugenfreeforall.com/public/style_emoticons//tongue.png What is a de-make? There are the remakes, which are re-creations of older games to a new system, like Metroid Zero. And there are demakes, re-creations of newer games as if they where older titles. There are mock ups, but some of them are actual games. Sorry, but I couldn't find screens for all of them Rockman 7 FC It's Megaman 7, but as a NES game. Can it get any better?

It's official. Square-official. Not to mention most of the team worked on Vagrant Story and FFXII. And some dudes from the original FFTactics

Last month there was this awesome fight between Cyclops and an alternative Storm in the comics. He used his blasts for some very varied things like small delayed bursts and even to break his fall! It was one nice air battle. But yeah, he still mainly a beam character (except when he was possessed by Apocalypse, I GOTTA to read those)

I want to play because of the story and the world ;p Not for online fun in this case
