I believe most /vr/ users would agree that Star Fox is the single most visually impressive game on the SNES library. However, which game is the most visually impressive game for the Mega Drive/Genesis? From the few games I've played, I'd say Sonic 3D Blast was the most visually stunning one, though I might be misinformed.

>>1640360 This. Star Fox was very impressive from a technical standpoint, but has not aged well. In fact, I'd dare say that Hyperzone— another forward-scrolling game for the Super Nintendo holds up much better, despite its lack of SuperFX chip.
It has better music, too.

>>1645602 What? HyperZone is dull as hell.
Star Fox is significantly better because it's much more mechanically complex, it has a pretty large variety of enemies and hazards, and the level design and bosses are exceptional.
Both games have great soundtracks that perfectly suit the action on screen.

I think this game is confusing. I mean not just the layout of how all the levels interconnect, but the plot itself. I was doing pretty good until I got to a part with this crazy dude who flying around at mach-3 on his magic carpet hovercraft or whatever. Somehow I beat him and got this weird alien device. Or maybe I already had that and used it to beat him. Can't remember that anymore, it's been a while. Anyway, I just didn't get wtf he was doing in the game or what his deal was. So I kind of dropped the game at that point and started playing Duke3D (that one's a lot less confusing). Maybe I just missed something in the background story or some dialog.

>>1608335 this is actually why I liked Strife. it's one of the first few FPS that managed to get in a full story behind its gameplay. I admit I didn't really understand it at first either, so it's probably done so to a fault.

IN my opinion this is the best Final Fantasy game ever made. The reasons excluding nostalgia the characters, Espers, story is pretty cool, lots of characters (that you actually have to use, and the game is actually pretty challenging at later stages granted you aren't exploiting the bugs. Who else loves this game? If you don't, why?

Well since this thread is here I may as well ask.

>>1607729 When someone (or a monster) has been asleep for a certain amount of time, the tapir will appear, and wake them up. It normally takes a little over 30 seconds, but Slow and Haste also affect it.
In Japanese lore, tapirs are said to eat dreams, which is why they cure Sleep.

I was fighting Atma Weapon and I only had Celes left, at low health at that. I thought I was totally boned, but then she jumped forward and swung her sword around wildly around, and lo and behold, it killed him.

So with the ever growing despair in my heart, because the Ez Flash IV is growing so hard to find.

I was able to Buy EZ Flash IV from a US seller zercath on
Ecrater.com , As of 2014 Ebay does no longer allow the sale of EZ Flash IV carts or any Flashcarts, You could check that seller out and see if he still has any for sale,I received mine from this seller in a few days for a great price, good luck

This thread is for music made with Yamaha's wonderful FM soundchips. Preferably not Genesis music because we already know it kicks ass. No need to repost the same old SoR2/Thunder Force 4/Gunstar Heroes/etc. links again. Let's hear something more obscure.

FM synth drew a line between Genesis and SNES music styles, clearly guiding the musical direction of Genesis soundtracks. In the bigger picture, I wonder how much of an impact that had on determining whether people were primarily Sega or Nintendo fans.

>>1483337 Are you leaving Arcade and OPL3 PC music out of the picture?, that's FM too
Anonymous
>>1483337 Sample based music lets tasteless people pretend to be sophisticated. You can do "epic" orchestral music that sounds impressive if you've never listened to a Beethoven concerto all the way through. It appeals to the kind of person who plays shit indie games because it's "art".
Note that the two most overrated arcade games (Radiant Silvergun, Ikaruga) use this style of music. I don't think that's a coincidence.

>>1578131 Are you being serious? If you are, you can assign conditions in options for when you want the game pause for you, making it closer to full turn-based system.

>>1580063 I never liked the Avernum remakes. They just take what's fun about Exile and make it mostly tedious with that obnoxious isometric perspective navigation and the dumber spell system that doesn't even have a repeat cast shortcut.
Would fully recommend all three Exile games though; the first two are just a bit harder to get into it.
