In the end the comparison isn't really fair given that SMW ended up having to be rushed for the SFC launch and wasn't really finished properly. The later worlds show that at some point they stopped improving the games' design aspects and just went on to wrap things up tie up any loose ends so the game could be shipped in time.

I love both of them equally but I'm slowly starting to side with Sega. I love Jet Set Radio, NiGHTS, Space Channel 5, Bonanza Bros and Super Monkey Ball to name a few. Sonic's pretty good too.

Also, their attempt at a Mortal Kombat clone was pretty great. Shame that the third game in the series was cancelled since they were worried the game would cause Virtua Fighter to get less attention.

Sega because I've had better experience with their games such as Sonic, House Of The Dead, Shenmue, Virtua Fighter, Fighting Vipers, Virtual On, Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi, Virtua Cop, Fighters Megamix, Super Monkey Ball, Nights Into Dreams, Streets Of Rage, Vectorman, Alex Kidd, Space Harrier, After Burner, Hang On, Seaman, Samba The Amigo… man I couldn't get enough of Sega, I just absolutely love their games. Whereas with Nintendo, I've only been able to enjoy mostly Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Metroid, Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart and some other titles. But most of the Nintendo titles seem too kiddie, compared to Sega titles.

Sega. There games were actually challenging which puts into perspective why Nintendo's games are referred to as baby games and their franchises had for more variation in terms of gameplay, thematics, and innovation. The Sega of Japan v. Sega of America conflict was the modern day (at least industry) equivalent of the Imperial Japanese Navy v. Imperial Japanese Army conflict, SoJ sabotaged everything SoA tried to do and were responsible for the 32X and Saturn being flops especially the former which didn't need to exist.

Hey /vr/.

I'm searching for the game Golden Land – an isometric russian RPG from 2003 similar to the original fallouts.

I played it years back (it was translated to my language) and had a great time. Now, I'd like to introduce some of my English friends to it, but not only can't I find any place to pirate or buy it, I can't even find out whether it was translated to english or not (supposedly, it wasn't as far as in 2010, yet some sites list it as having an english translation).

Would any of you happen to know where to get that game?

Also, general Golden Land thread.

This game is COMPLETELY unknown and obscure to American Gen Z kids born in 1995-1999 like you. The casual generation, YOLO generation. When you saw the trailer for the PS4 reboot, I'm sure you were scratching your heads.

Ask an American 16 year old if he/she's used played this game and they'll say "wat dat." Ask them what their favorite old-school games are and they'll say "Sonic Heroes, Bully, Simpsons hit n Run, God of War, Gears of War, modern warfare 2, Kingdom Hearts, Battle for Bikini Bottom, Crash Twinsanity, lego star wars, sonic adventure 2, Halo. those were da bess, swag yolo. 👌👏👌👏👌👏"

You selfie-taking pieces of shit still claim to be a "le 90s kid" despite not remembering the 90s, not knowing what Pete and Pete is, not knowing what Clarissa Explains It All is, never touching an SNES, and growing up with shittastic shows that were the antithesis of the 90s like spongebob, Code lyoko, camp lazlo, squirrel boy, gym Partner, Kids next Door, Jimmy Neutron, iCarly, Drake & Josh, Naked Brothers band, avatar, and that fucking Ned show.

Hah I always end up feeling left out of most of those "only '90s kids will understand" things even though I was born in '91 because my parents were too poor/stubborn to pay for cable back then. My childhood TV memories are mostly of fiddling with rabbit ears and watching static-y reruns of '80s sitcoms. Makes me feel more like an '80s kid than a '90s kid in some ways

Part of that could be a legit backlash to the accelerated trend in recent years to appropriate "retro" stuff by people who only want to utilise it to status signal ("such nerd, much vintage").

Part of it could simply be people being "muh sekrit club" dickwads.

This game (well the very first SotB game) is what made me buy an Amiga 500, back in 1991. The guy had a few other games we played: Xenon II, Menace, Blood Money, and some 2-player tank game that was pretty fun but I can't remember the name.

Anyway the first Beast game had pefectly smooth scrolling with lots of parallax layers, big sprites, and a that beautiful soundtrack with pan pipes. Had never seen or heard anything like it before.

The controls are pretty rough by console standards though. It's up to jump, and just the one fire button to attack. Pretty typical for computer games with joystick back then. If you want something easier, the Sega Genesis game is pretty good, but doesn't quite match the graphics and sound of the original.

Anyway it's a pretty tough game. Made it to the bottom of the castle level without cheating, and no further. It's pretty easy to get ganked in this game. You kind of have to memorize patterns and stuff, like in Ninja Gaiden.

Anyway the game was impressive then, but maybe not as much now for someone who's seen even better stuff on Neo-Geo and such. I still like its weird and unique atmoshphere. Some other good Amiga games to try: Gods, Satan, Leander, Risky Woods, Lionheart, Toki, Prince of Persia, Another World, Flashback.

>Some people are snobs about being "oldschool" and that's a shame because the best way to keep good games alive is to invite younger generations to try them.

This is true

Actually it surprises me how much a lot of kids actually like playing old games. I think they can sense that more effort went into them than the similar-ish games they have on their smartphones.
