Games with a real B-movie vipe. Over the top, hilariously stupid, cliché plots that make the whole game a very fun experience. At least if you are into that stuff.

Samurai Zan certainly is just that and I think they even put some love and effort into it. Just listen to the opening song.

Can we have a jrp thread?

I'm looking for a new ps1 game to play on my psp.

I have vargrant story, xenogears, wildarms, and parasite eve on my to play list but i'm currently leaning to ffIX since I liked both 7 & 8.

I tried wild arms but i couldn't get into it.

Anything else I might be missing?

Anyone else unable to get into wild arms?

What is best to use as an Emulation Device these days?

So I recently started playing pic related. I wanna like this game so much, but the controls are so freakishly bad, it's so frustrating.

I get that it's an isometric game and that there are only four directions you can go. That's fine, but why do the buttons always change way your character is moving?

For example, when I press up I move up-left. When I press left I also walk up-left. when I press down or right, I move down-right. So basically the main four directions on the control pad only move my character in 2 directions. Only when I press in a diagonal direction my character moves in that direction. Why? Why aren't up/left/down/right on the control pad up-left/down-left/down-right/up-right respectively? That is just stupid, because the Mega Drive gamepad makes it hard to move diagonal.

Also the input direction always changes: When I hold right on the pad and my character moves down-right, as soon as I enter anothr room suddenly right makes my character move up-right. What the hell?

Are there any tricks that I'm not aware of? The platforming in isometric games is frustrating as it is, but with the controls it's almost impossible. I don't understand why the game is praised so much when the most important thing, managable controls, is so fucked up.

I considered playing the game on an emulator and just mapping the four main directions to diagonal directions, but then again I wanna play Dark Savior, too, so I wanna get used to this kind of controls. But it's just so frustrating and just not fun :(

So the original Bard's tale games is 3 bucks on steam sale. Is it worth it? Talking about the retro 80s ones of course. Can we talk about this game?

Whatever happened to the shmup general? Seems like it's been at least two months since I saw one.

Also, Tribes thread.

You read the subject. Post your beloved retro studios from back in the day. Loved Peasants Quest from these guys and would really like to see them make another game.

Gonna play some FF2/Special tonight, who should I main? For some reason I'm tempted by Titzilla, but I really like Billy because I've always liked staffs.
