Got an old PC with a CRT monitor. Been playing Postal 2, Gaylo CE and Gun Metal.
Any games you personally recommend?
Any pieces of advice on emulation?
Any indie gaems that aren't total shit and would look nice on this monitor?

>90s PC games
Jazz Jackrabbit
Doom/Heretic/Hexen
Unreal
Warcraft 1&2
just find an iso of a demo disc or 20 and see what clicks for you. There are just too fucking many options
>emulation
you're going to need to prioritize speed over accuracy
ZSNES for SNES
KGEN for Genesis/Mega Drive. Maybe DGEN if you're in the Pentium range
Nesticle…well, you can do better than Nesticle but I can't remember what I used to run NES games with
most of the old systems had fast-but-inaccurate options at the time
>Any indie games that would look nice on this monitor?
I'd bet La-Mulana would look fucking fantastic

Depending on the Machine, I was able to run Project64 on a Pentium 4, albiet one of the later ones from the mid 2000s at a great speeds. PSX is also possible on them and the P3. No$GBA worked probably at one point, its likely you'll have to resort to builds from around the time. Don't know how big you are into doujin games, but I'd check out Melty Blood and the JAST memorial collection.

I don't typically emulate unless it's to play fan translations of games that don't get released here.
I've used Hakchi to play the Goemon games on my SNES, but I noticed a graphical glitch in one of the worlds and I'm wondering if patching it to the latest version will delete my save.

This is one of those games that everyone should play. Even if people don't like the genre or don't want to deal with the time limit, they ought to get a FAQ and play it that way. La Mulana is, for me, another game in that category–if the core exploration gameplay isn't fun, skirt it with a FAQ and play the rest of the game.

Remember using ZSNES a decade or more ago. And KGEN sounds right?
Always made sure to reinstall it on new PCs. In addition to VBA or Visual Boy Advance or something for GBA. And epsxe for PS1.
As for games, there are plenty of images being tossed around. Really depends on genre, and personal taste.

90's were peak flightsim/spacesim years, hunt down an old Thrustmaster stick with some pedals. Depending on how much you can stand wireframes models and gourad shading instead of textures, here's a short list.
Chuck Yeager's Air Combat: Impressive for 91'. Planes cover a variety from WW2 up to the Korean War. Many historical scenarios, as well as a mission builder that works like the opening of just about every war story. It also has a demo recording feature, with multiple camera angles.
Aces over Europe/Pacific: One year later, and an increase from 320x240 to full 640x480. More WW2 where you can fly for both sides of the conflict.
Strike Commander: Before there was Ace Combat, there was Strike Commander. Fitting between Wing Commander 2 and 3, just before Chris Robert's head got too big for his shoulders. You fly as a mercenary for an f-16 squadron in a fictional 2011 where, to no one's surprise, the world's gone to shit. There's some light business management aspects as you're responsible for buying ordinance and insurance for your wingmen.
Wing Commander:Privateer: If you were too young for Elite, this game was your intro to open world gaming. You can't go wrong with any of the Wing Commander games, but this one stands on it's own. Even though Chris never had a hand in making it. Fight, trade, run missions, and follow the story that, while cliche, is still good for it's time.

This game was interesting because of how phenomenally janky the controls were. You aimed a cursor on the screen with the mouse, but controlled literally everything else with the keyboard. Your suit made servo noises for turning your head and zooming your view and everything, so you kinda felt like you were controlling some robotic power suit thing by proxy instead of some you-move-and-the-suit-moves-with-you thing. It was the "immersive" kind of janky. Did a reasonably good job of drawing sorta large outdoor environments for such an old game, too. Graphics resolution was really low, and a lot of screen space was taken up by the interface, but that could've been a style choice.

Removed more of the cucksole ports, because even if they're good ports, console games are not indicative of actual PC gaming. Also replaced XIII with Raven Shield because XIII had absolutely no impact on PC gaming and was only remembered for its artstyle, and replaced Silver with Mech Warrior 3 since it was notable for absolutely nothing. At some point an 80s section needs to be made

It wasn't that great of a game, especially the enemies who oscillated from being dumb as dirt to being able to see across the map, and especially in those stealth sections. It was literally only hyped for its art-style, and it was developed with consoles and PCs in mind (particularly the former, as it was just a couple of years after Halo proved FPS could be playable on consoles). It had literally no impact on computer gaming at the time, whereas something like Raven Shield was a refinement of something that started on PC, and couldn't be played on consoles unless it was severely dumbed down.
>I loved that game
No one cares, it's a chart meant for objective milestones and representations of PC gaming. If I wanted to put in games I liked in place of something I didn't like, I would've removed something like System Shock 2, Half-Life 2, or more of that indie shit in favor of games I liked. XIII had absolutely zero impact on computer games. Being your first FPS you played at 5 years old is not notable.

It's a really enjoyable Diablo clone inspired by JRPGs and with good production values, but that's about it.

The original is an ok budget game, you can feel the limitations of the game from the heavy re-use of enemies, low enemy variety, and heavy boss re-use. It's slower than Leifthrasir since every attack in the original game depletes you stamina/POW bar. So you have to think further ahead to make sure you have enough POW left otherwise you leave yourself stunned in a long recovery animation. And because there's no dedicated I-frame dodge button you really have to keep in mind enemies's attack patterns and use your jumps/movement/attacks to move out of an attack's reach. Only two characters in the original game can block. In this regard it's better than Leifthrasir since normal attacks do not drain POW and there's little reason not to mash attacks on enemies and just i-frame dodge to phase through most attacks.
I do think it's worth playing through the original game and recommend it first since Leifthrasir's faster speed might make it awkward to play classic mode second. Original mode let's you choose between 4:3 or widescreen mode and lets you use a custom border of your favorite Odin Cutie if you play in SD resolution.
Leifthrasir is a different beast because of the massive combat overhaul. The whole philosophy of combat is changed since you no longer need to keep a stamina bar, besides Mercedes's ammo count, in mind when attacking. Dodging is through I-frame abuse so attacking and keeping pressure on enemies is near constant. This combined with faster movement in general and much more combat moves makes it massively faster than original mode. It reduces the lack of enemies and boss variety a bit by adding more types. The alchemy system is re-done to be much more flexible and you now have far more freedom to make potions, which can trivialize and break the game. Heroic Mode is a decent challenge, but Muramasa and Dragon's Crown's harder difficulties outclass it.
It's also a worthwhile game and I recommend playing it after original mode.

PS3 has a ton of Japanese niche and exclusive titles with some having some Vita ports.
Despite both consoles being a blur of normalfag cancer and multiplats after 2008, the Xbox 360 also had them for a while but the PS3 didn't stop getting them until the end of it's lifetime, shame some of them have the NISA stink on them.
Don't really have a list, but here's a few:
-Deception 4
- Tokyo Jungle
-White Knight Chronicles
-The Darkness
-Drakengard 3
-Shitton of Gundam and Super Robot War titles
-Ar Tonelico
-Ci Nosurge
-Another Century: Episode R
-Folklore
Man, I miss when 7th Gen had just came out and everything looked possible.
PC was also getting a shitton of good stuff at the time and all platforms looked so unique.
It's a shame what became of 7th Gen, it had so much potential and instead ended up as being the biggest cancer, not as bad as this gen, but still pretty bad, most awful trends we see were popularized there.
At least now I can play everything on my PC
