I enjoyed the premise of the game. I enjoyed the combat system, but after getting to day 3 I just couldn't be bothered to sit through anymore of this game.

>fuck its dialogue
>fuck its forced exposition
>fuck how linear it is
>fuck how goddamn hidden item containers are
>fuck its limited inventory bullshit

The premise piqued my interest to the point where I'm considering checking out the book. Really interesting stuff.

Hey /vr/, I need your help:

So I probably started Earthbound around four times and every time I stopped playing at around Threed. The combat is just so tedious and boring, and you (or I) have to grind alot in every new area, which sucks all the fun out of the game for me.
I really like the humour, style and general comfy-ness of the game though, and I wanna play through it.

So my question is, is there a way to avoid grinding or the combat in general? I was thinking about just using cheats in an emulator, but I haven't found a guide that explains how to do that.

Anyone an idea?

What are your favorite frachises, /v/?

Pic very related

Favorite entry has always been Ocarina of Time.

Give me some of the best from your childhoods, /vr/, preferably not from an arranged soundtrack since there's already a thread for that up. I'm especially looking to add more non-Nintendo related music to my list, since I grew up as mostly a Nintendo kid.

This thread is for the spirited discussion of CRT displays - Televisions, monitors and projectors used for the playing of retro games!

>Try to keep it /vr/-related: Nothing past 5th gen(+Dreamcast). Slight OT might be okay if related to CRTs (E.G. 16:9 compatible models, flatscreens, etc.) Systems with backwards compatibility are also pretty safe territory, assuming you're focusing on the older games. PC CRTs are also a-ok.
>Produce OC! Get out your real cameras and take beautiful pictures of your CRTs displaying recognizable characters with the kind of beautiful accuracy that brings tears to the eyes of young and old alike! If you take 100 photos, at least one of them will turn out alright! (maybe)
>Try to be as detailed as possible when asking info on a specific model. As always, google is your friend, and we are your friends with benefits. Older archived threads aren't a bad place to look either.
>Share appreciation for others choice of technology and personal philosophy of gaming. As always show courtesy in your discussion and moderate yourselves first.

I'm gonna start a thread where we help each other find games we encountered way back when but can't remember their name because I'm bored.

1. Post a description of the game to the best of your memory. MS Paint picture welcome.
2. Help other anons find their game.
3. Recommend other games to anons while you wait.

Ok, a lot of people remember old tomb raiders fondly. And a whole lot remember legacy of kain franchise as well (granted, it went downhill on the ps2, but it is still well remembered). Why no one remembers fear effect? I remember it being fairly popular and even spawning its own image comics mini series.

We're going to buy two GBA SPs with my friend and I wondered which version from Pokemon series should we choose for pokemon trading via link cable in the first place? Ruby & Sapphire? Emerald? FireRed & LeafGreen?

Also I'm looking for other games with cooperative elements on GBA.
