EMPL chitchat aka general discussion
All the things not related to a special vote or game round should go in here ;)
Thread inspired by Graham Humphreys 'EAB/Lemon Super League General Discussion' :D |
Ok TCD fine choice.
So I would propose that since we are on the middle of voting for the next round of the Multi Platform League, and many adjustments have already been made to correct the voting, we should only play PC Engine cartridge based games now, and for the next PC Engine round would be open to any game. Or maybe a CD titles exclusive. What do you say guys? |
The problem is that if we play CD games the image has to be freely available (no closed torrent sites or sites with a registration). So it would be needed that the possible download is posted together with the vote. I would also like to hear what mihcael thinks about playing CD games.

Well, they are easily available:
http://snesorama.us/board/showthread.php?t=18798 I wouldn't mind if we'd just restart the voting round (close and rename the old thread and open a new one) - there are some awesome titles among those CD games. edit: "It Came From The Desert" CD? I wonder how good that version is. edit2: Found some screenies - "It" looks terrible: http://www.pcengine.co.uk/HTML_Games...The_Desert.htm |

Yes it seems they are. But on file sharing. You think it's doable this way TCD, for downloading, I mean? |

I agree with john, but i can easily be ok with whoever wins this next round and chooses the PCECD. I could definitely love to fire up Nexzr or rayxanber or spriggan or sylphia or zero wing or tokimeki, genocide, klaiden, ginga fukei denesetsu etc etc
as i said, i have most of these games and if i dont have them i can get them. I would have no problem hosting them on my computer via FTP. That way we arent getting bogus or expired links etc. |

But I was surprised to find two reviews which both rated the game pretty high: http://baetzler.de/vidgames/CD-reviews.var http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/turb...ew/R47692.html Maybe one day I'll give it a try... |
There is this fine PC Engine CD thread you know... ;)

I'm also sure that Magix would be fine with me uploading the image we currently play on the file server. So as long the game is available somewhere, consider this problem sorted then ;) That said, I would like to hear if it is okay for our friends from Oz too :)

@TF: Yes, I could see what you did there in the video. It's just still hard to do. And after the six turrets it's still not over.
I will continue to use my bombs against the boss. But should I fail I'll use the continues to practice a bit bullet dodging. Quote:
Using level passwords to practice is fine (if we obtained those passwords ourselves by playing). If you used savestate-training, then you probably just missed that rule. You should keep your score and just do without it in the future. If you didn't use savestate-training I'm really impressed by your skills, xpect! :great |

Why do you think that I come late to post a score on some rounds of the league? Sometimes is because of work I don't have so much time to dedicate to gaming, but the better part of it is because I'm training. My favorite retro genres are racing, shooters and platformers. If we were playing RPG's for instance than I would pass. The only games that I had already played on the past that came up on the league and I played were: Stunt Car Racer and Pinball Fantasies. All the other games I had to learn them from scratch. There are games that motivate me more, others less, as anyone else. For a platformer Superfrog sucked big time for me. Rodland was awesome. In Empl I trully enjoyed just about everygame, but I'm truly enjoying Raiden, because although very dificult, is challenging and that is what brings up the best on the gamer that we all are. What's the point on cheating? To prove what? Yay, I'm making more 2 billions points than you! Wow what an acomplishment! Congratulations on that... I started to play these games because it's a good oportunity for me to learn about good games and actually playing them. I have all the Tosec collections with gazillions of games for C64, MSX, Amiga, etc, etc. that i donwloaded in the last 6 months. Of course I try the odd game just to see how they are but from that collection only finished Space Manbow on the MSX2, on the past months. The leagues are a good excuse for me to finish the games and actually learn them to every detail, just to make that extra points. And I don't miss the rules, I respect them. Two rounds ago on this league I made a mistake of, on the heat of trying to beat TCD, I used a continue without noticing. After TCD bring that to my attention I promptly invalidated my score without further discussion. So I already said that then, and I make my final statement here. Making the score I made, came with high levels of concentration and is was nothing short of difficult. After seeing TF's video, oh man I have much to train, yes sir. I am in no doubt that he will clean sweep this round easily. |
*cough* These discussions are one of the reasons why I made our cozy 'chitchat' thread (http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=43831) ;) Thank you for your cooperation :cool :D

You can memorize how to overcome difficult parts by practicing them with savestates so you can later easily reproduce them when you do the "clean" run (without savestates). So it's not really cheating, but an unfair advantage if someone would do this while the others don't. It was just your wording "training" that made me suspicious if you might have missed the rule. Good to know you didn't. Sorry if my post sounded like I wanted to accuse you, m8 - that wasn't my intention. Like I said - I'm all the more impressed by your skill! :great edit: @TCD: next time... ;) |
