Super Famicom or ‘this is cool’ Saturn

by far my favorite controller for n64 of its time. Though my dad didn’t like the thumbstick and replaced it with a golf tee 🤷‍♂️

i like that the controller is true to the DC design. though retro fighters modern wireless DC controller is pretty great despite its own quirks.

seems like this is also taking the approach where the VMU will be part of the wireless dongle. must be a challenge to get the sounds and ui to work well wirelessly.

Cool nonetheless

haven’t thought about these games in ages!

Pablo is the GOAT of the franchise easily.

Fishing Hole Man

oof. yep that is a rough discovery.

Such an entertaining game. i haven’t played worms in a long while.

its a series that has been on my backlog for sometime. By the time i can get to it I’ll likely be following in your footsteps and playing them with my kid.

thats awesome! do you take turns at level changes or on deaths? the graphical leap between those two is pretty impressive.

twilight dungeon was the last zelda release i played. i thoroughly enjoyed all of it. nothing about the newer ones have caught my interest

Policenauts is on my list for sure, but didn’t know you could play without a light gun. do light guns work on modern tvs or is there a way to emulate the functionality?

i picked up an arc a few months ago and its been my main console. in fact it is what i’ve been playing shadow run on. i also have an rg350 something that is technically more beefier but the arc really does have a rockin d-pad. plus i play mostly sega games and so the layout is super nice for that in part.

i have a copy of shining force on Saturn waiting for me to play it. idk why I’m getting more into RPGs when i have almost no time for them. interesting reason to play a game. though whatever promotes healthy sleep habits haha.

I suppose it depends on how you determine best, but emulation is gonna be the cheapest and easiest.

Im very interested in getting a Nintendo Watch and Play - Zelda edition to play it on there. apparently the audio is better on the Japanese version of the game and the WnP allows you to choose what audio you want to play with as well as the language. though I’m site there is a modded rom you could emulate that does the same thing.

otherwise you can pick it up on Nintendo online shop, physical NES or the GBA classic rerelease cartridge.

Thanks for jogging my memory! I completely forgot about that core fact 😓.

i vaguely recall the retail box version of silent hill 2 or 3 for PC being not all that amazing, and later emulating the Ps2 version was a better option, not to mention the easiest option since both games for PC are not common finds. then again the PC I played Silent hill 2 on wasn’t all that beefy at the time.

maybe any games that originally were for console ported to PC with Denuvo hit this criteria. interesting question!

didn’t know about the power set. super cool bundle and the box for it is awesome. did it come with the track and field game?

I feel like many have a similar story. for me it was my n64 for PS2 games.

very true. there really something liberating about about self hosting.

i think using node and express.js is very approachable in serving your web content. https://expressjs.com/

following the hello world example on their site will help clarify how everything clicks together.

i know u said this is a project for learning, but static site hosting is pretty cheap and may provide less headaches as you’re learning. sites like porkbun offer it for $3 USD and i think even github has a free way tp host a static site. idk what running a computer at home would cost monthly in electricity.
