Does anyone still play this/played it recently?

Did it age okay? Feel like going back to it, it was the only flight sim I ever played (the only one I ever needed).

FIXED.

Also, hope you still have the keyboard overlay and the inch thick manual/ability to recognise dozens of different late 80's planes from above otherwise you're gonna have a bad time.

If you do, you're gonna have a fun time! Loved this game when I was little. I can still identify most of the planes by sight.

I didn't even remember the music. The thing I remember most is the night missions and the fun bombing raids.

I lost the manual when my Amiga stuff got thrown out decades ago. I found a manual on the internet somewhere though. It's gonna be interesting to see how much I remember from muscle memory.

Does anyone know what game this comes from? I thought it might be Policenauts or Snatcher, but it doesn't appear to be either of those. Big thanks!

Something on PC-98 I'd wager. Ask in their thread if it's still up. Also tell them I said PC-98 sucks, MSX rules.

Anybody here learn Japanese for vidya? Got any tips for someone trying to learn? I'm not expecting any "learn it overnight" tips or anything but just where to get started and what not. Also to keep it /vr/ related. Japanese retro vidya general? What are some great games Americans have been deprived of?

i tried to play Mother 3 before it was translated by fans by using OCR and google trans but it really didn't work well. haha.

i had a friend who played Uncharted Waters Online on the Japanese servers and made it to max level in trade by learning the game through OCR and google trans. that guy is hardcore.

Start here, read it all the way down, even if it says Advanced it still won't be enough for you to understand all everyday sentences correctly
http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/grammar

Keep going with this
http://www.imabi.net/

Various lookup guides for grammar and such, make sure to read at least some of them through
http://grammar.nihongoresources.com/doku.php
http://www.jgram.org/

http://amaterasu.tindabox.net/guide/

Nice site to learn vocabulary, online flashcards so you can review them everywhere without installing useless programs
http://www.manythings.org/japanese/
Make sure to study the daily kanji list at least up until level 5
http://www.manythings.org/japanese/daily/

I'm not suggesting any specific Anki deck, but kanji consist of a phonetic and semantic part which helps a lot in guessing the on-yomi (pseudo-Chinese reading). This is probably also the reason Japanese prefer using jukugo over native vocabulary when writing so try it and learn the patterns, it'll make learning kanji easier
https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/2079428463

KanjiDamage is crap for learning kanji, despite what /a/ says, but since you can use many kanji to represent the same native Japanese word, read this. It'll save you up time learning kun-yomi and clear a lot of things up.

Congrats, you learned Japanese for free.

>learn to speak, then learn to read.

I think it largely depends on the language. The further removed it is from English the harder it's going to be to read at first. Obviously the ideal way is to read along with a spoken audio track, so you get the best of both. Japanese is going to be more of a challenge to read than to hear. Just from playing games over the years I've picked up a few words because the syllables are very easy to understand and distinguish when spoken, but I can't read more than handful of kanji.

But for learning romance languages I think it is easier to read it first, then move on to audio later. A lot of the words are spelled very similarly to English, but the pronunciations can make it harder to hear, among other things. But it just depends on the person. But I don't think there is any way you're going to be fluent in 2 months. That's not possible unless you're some kind of savant.

This is one of the items you could buy in Mystical Ninja: Starring Goemon on N64. Even though I knew nothing about Japanese food at the time, the food in that game always looked so appetizing to me.

you can't move in 3d in final fight.

the game only keeps track of your position in 2 dimensions.

When you jump all it does is change your characters animation and the programming allows you to clip through other enemies, be unharmed by pitfalls and other attacks.

Its an illusion of 3d

>you can't move in 3d in final fight.

You can move forward and backward
You can move into and out of the background
You can jump up and fall down

This is movement in 3D.

Enemies react accordingly. I'm sorry that you think 3D is exclusive to polygon games, but the fact is that Final Fight is a 3D game.

They're what's "2.5D" actually means, as opposed to "2d games with 3d graphics" and other ridiculous crap one keeps hearing in the modern press. They were 2D games, but 3D environments were approximated with weird interesting trickery, yeah, like that impossible perspective.

I just meant that if you could actually move the camera there would be *something* three dimensional about DKC. Having pixelated sprites representing 3D source models is still completely 2D. It's a cheap effect.

Mortal Kombat is the same thing but nobody ever called the sprites 3D. They had some stupid other marketing gimmicky term for them but they still never said it was 3D in any way.

The great debate.
Which one do you prefer? I just beat SotN for the first time today, and it was a great game. However, I think Super Metroid is better for several reasons.
>no invincibility frames after being hit in the SotN, meaning you can get easily trapped on hit boxes and stuck.
>doors that close in Super Metroid. In SotN there are tons of rooms that seem to be set up so that enemies will knock you back into a previous room, and you'll have to fight them all again
>Form of mist was hidden behind such a cryptic secret How was I supposed to know I had to wait in the clock room for like a minute so the passage would open? Sort of bullshit in my opinion
Although, SotN has some elements I prefer
>No annoying YOU ARE DYING beeping
>Major upgrades aren't as spaced out as they are in Super metroid, making the game play feel a bit faster
Richter being the bad end, and half of the game being tucked away.
Which do you guys prefer?

agree. a couple of weapons upgrades/options (whip, chain whip, short sword, long sword, thief daggers), a few spells you can track down, and maybe a few maneuverability upgrades, like a double jump, or a super jump
and of course like five staple sub weapons. throwing knives, holy water, cross, axe, and uh... you know I only care about knives and holy water, anyway

i still like seeing the HP hit numbers, though, and in the above scenario, you would be able to find out which weapon variant/type does more damage and change your strategy accordingly
