sup /v/ I want to know that name of an old game I used to play.

It was a space fighting simulation. You had different types of spaceships, small agile fighter, bigger destroyers, Large carrier(?) type things.
There were different modes, one was to destroy the enemies. Another mode was to protect your giant mothership etc.

The game was turn based, and you just indicated the direction and speed of your ships and pressed a button. I dont remember much about the combat, but everything was turn based.

It was pretty old, 2d top down graphics.

pic related, what the game kinda looked like(very innacurate but you get the general idea)

ITT games impossible to beat on a 100%

Well that sold out in half a microsecond...

Do you remember when as a kid you saw something groundbreaking in a game that made you really amazed, and which today is a norm (or still isn't) in games? Share your experiences and titles here.

>Duke Nukem 3D
interactions with your environment, e.g. playing snooker, singing karaoke and of course "shake it baby" - truly a predecessor to San Andreas mini games variety
>Red Faction
being able to destory walls - as a kid I was sure it would be a norm in the next years of gaming. window glass that broke like in real life - that was something that really brought some semi-realism into a game
>Max Payne
the grand bullet time. I remember exactly how amazing it was, it's really difficult to explain. a simple thing that was copied from Matrix, which gave a lot of joy and satisfaction

Aside from getting an original PC Engine console and CD attachment (very rare and expensive), is this the best version of the console for CD games?

cave story thread anyone

What could I use to debug NES, SNES and Mega Drive (Genesis) games? I'd like to try my hand at creating my own cheats, and so I need something that would allow me to dump RAM, set breakpoints and tweak program code in assembly, stuff like that. Preferably in an emulator environment.

Do you ever get a difficult point between buying new games and playing the ones you have? I have been really good about not adding more games to my backlog in the last 6 months or so, but just recently I've been buying more games in a flurry of acquisitions. I suppose it's fine since I've cleared more games than that off my list in the time since I stopped buying games, but I feel almost like I'm just digging myself deeper and spreading myself thin. It doesn't help that I really should be focusing more on my studies and on finishing my own game design work.
