"PCEWorks" finally bootlegs Magical Chase

[gex]

Gex, everything you say is true.  I feel the same way man.

The natural way of things

Say I play through 5 PCE games per year. With the everdrive, I can play 5 of the best games. Sure, I miss out on the mediocre 6/10 scored games. But, the alternative is to play through the five games that my wallet can afford. Isn't it better to be acquainted with the best games of a system rather than the ones the market dictates?

Awesome! It's not just me with ADHD that gets antsy looking at an entire library haha

If you can only play five games a year, then yeah make the most of it. Why not pick the best (acclaimed) possible titles. I think everyone has personal preferences/tastes though, so anything you hear/see that stands out to you; you can always just load it up the next time you're obeying.

Everyone has examples of this. Violent solider is a game I prefer playing over Gunhead, Even though it's way WAY more hyped over violent solider. But yeah.. personal preferences man

This is getting way off topic though^^

Some guy on the FB groups posted their "mail call" when they got theirs in, and it looked meh. Just a 1990's VHS tape holder with some printed papers. I forget what they were charging, but I was amazed (again) comparing the product to its absorbent cost.

Having hundreds of HuCards to choose from is no different than the effects people are describing from have hundreds of roms to play through emulation or off of a TED.

Heh, that's what I was thinking.  There's not much difference when there's hundreds of "real" games sitting on the shelf already, plus I can download and burn just about any CD game.

I have been doing the following for years:

I only have 1-3 consoles/handhelds "out" at any given time.

I grab a handful of games for each system and focus on those specific titles for 1-3 weeks.

After 1-3 weeks, I will swap new consoles/handhelds + accompanying games in and out of rotation.

Sure, sometimes I'll swap stuff out, but, for the most part, this has been the most enjoyable way to play games when you have tons of hardware/software.

Granted, I own a lot of crappy games because I bought cheap lots many years ago.

[Gypsy]

I have lots of games and systems. Not enough space to keep them all out, but I have as many as I can out at once. Hasn't really hindered my playing of games, but I can understand how someone could have too much of something to choose from. I get that way with my anime dvds/blus a lot.

I've been playing 2020 Super Baseball for a week straight with some Super Robot Wars V at work.

I can't afford every single Neo Geo game (and also, I wouldn't even if I could) so I'm playing the dozen or so I have and because of this I actually a) know how to play them and b) understand the game more completely. If I owned more games I'd be worse at 2020 Superbaseball.

At around 150 titles the Neo has less software than almost any system so this affect I'm describing goes quad or octo with a system like PCE.

You've done the math, you've checked the prices, you've done everything the correct and Youtubiest way possible. You have a SGX with Super CDROM2 modded for region and RGB. You have it ALL.

To know the price of everything and the value of nothing...that kind of thing, is what I'm seeing. The true    connoisseur is focused on what's in front of him, not a list of xxx.pce or a massive shelf. Unless you're actually experiencing the games you're simply a cave man playing with lasers that has zero clue WTF he is doing.

Breadth is useless without depth.

Some of you herbs are hollow, is what I'm saying.

[roflmao]

I tend to stick with a single game per console for awhile as well. For instance, I picked up Genji Tsushin Agedama a few weeks ago and I've been playing that almost exclusively.

[crazydean]

I prefer to play every game on my everdrive for ten minutes then move to another system. My goal is to play every game on every console.

[Necromancer]

I'm kinda like este with my game playing, except that I only have five total platforms and they're all connected all the time.  Two of 'em are rarely played: FEKA, for which I only have a handful of LA games, and the PC-FX, which is mostly only played if a visitor wants to see it or if a game comes up in chat or a thread.  The other three systems are played more often: PSP, Vita, and Turbobs.  I rotate between the three and try to play a game through to the end (or at least until it's no longer fun and I give up, like in Frantix or N+), and often it's a game that I've barely played before.  It's a pretty good way to get to know a game inside and out.

I also have a handful of favorites that I pop in just for fun, when I want a break on whatever game I'm trying to beat, only have a few minutes to play, or am playing with a friend - stuff like Hatris, Bust A Move, Soldier Blade time runs, Bomberman '93/'94, Parasol Stars, etc.

How is SRW V?

What I tend to do is play one "longer/story oriented" game at a time (currently Ys IV which I can't stop posting about, I just got past that damn ice boss). Then usually a more skill oriented game as well that I try to get better at until I can ace it.

Also like Necro I have some quick play type favourites like Digital Pinball Necronomicon, Last Gladiators, Rez, Mario Kart Double Dash yadda yadda yadda.

That's a lot of title screens

I'm guilty of having Mario Kart Double Dash hooked up 24/7 too! It's insane compared to the other games in the series, plus it's the only non PC game my dad played really. So we pop it in when the family gets together sometimes

If you've played any main game in the series in the last decade you know, it's exactly like those.

I skipped the eigo and went with the Premium Sound and Song version. That makes a big difference in the experience to me since I've never bothered with the custom BGM shit before.

There are fewer missions this time, which is all good. These games are usually about 10 too long for me.

Yamato is a terrific addition, even though you wouldn't think so. I imagine the next game will have Godzilla. I'd honestly love to see Sentai rolled into it.

The new Mazin units are bonkers, of course.

I hear ya. It's my favourite by far. People hyped up the Wii U one to me, but it's just a worse Sonic Racing Transformed. It rarely leaves my Gamecube tbqh.

I have. I'm definitely planning to get V and Moon Dwellers for PS4.

Not sure I'll bother with that premium version, since it's almost double from what I saw in a quick check. But I'll look into it more when I actually go to buy.

Fewer missions isn't too bad. I haven't played too many in the series, of course I played the OGs and then I gutted through a few in Japanese but haven't played it in a few years except for an OG replay. I went through 1 again then stalled on 2 doing some hardcore farming to maintain hard mode.

[SignOfZeta]

I can't stand the OG series. Sure, it's exactly the same thing, but few of the characters or mecha are any good and the dialogue is oppressively dirivative moe/onsen/threesize crapola. I like the Lord of Elemental games though.

As for Double Dash vs 8. 8 has actual racing in it and DD is so luck/chaos based that it plays like a f*cking redemption machine. I hate it because no matter what you do every victory is skin-of-the-teath. You can never really crush someone into oblivion by simply out driving them like you could in Super Mario Kart because everyone is being constantly crushed into oblivion by the CPU.

8 is far from perfect but plays well and the courses are gorgeous. It's the first Mario Kart game I've really liked since Super Circuit on GBA.

[Gypsy]

Oh yeah the dialogue is horse crap, heh. V will be the first non-OG I play in English, so I'll have a comparison point.

Yeah I mean, that's just Mario Kart to me. Although I am to the point where I smoke the computer pretty much every time, except for the tiny course where you have 7 laps. I've played a shit ton of it though. I don't mind 8 but honestly I would rather just play Sonic Racing. When I want skillful racing games I don't play Mario Kart. I'll dig into 8 more eventually. At this point I've probably only logged about 10 hours into it so I can't speak to it fully. Presumably I will also get better at it by playing it more, but I'm really not a fan of any of the Wii U controller options.
