Bart Simpson's Nightmare was actually an incredibly solid game, which is shocking because almost everything Acclaim put out was hot garbage. It had a kind of "rogue-like" gameplay loop with a lot of variation in game genres, almost like Warioware or Mario Party.

Yeah, those and the konami beatemup. No matter what these idiots say, everything on third and fourth gen were garbage.

Yes, in regards to consoles that is. Simpsons Hit & Run is the only good Simpsons game to ever release as far as I'm aware. Even then it's not perfect and the driving is a little less than stellar. Simpsons only had a competent game outside consoles in the Arcade by Konami

That's why it's fun. Although if you use save-states it kills the fun.

First 2 levels are a joke. 3 takes a bit to learn the crow timing. Use Boomerangs on Mummies. 4th level is a pain cause of the platforming and flea men. Get Holy Water, keep holy water till the boss or you're fucked. Keep holy water all through 5 for axe knights, if you lose it you may as well wait for continue cause you probably aren't beating death without it. Learn Dracula stage on your own it's a right of passage. Watch speed runs and pros if you have too.

Is this a fake or an original copy of the game ?
thank you for all help :)

Can I take a moment to talk about how much I fucking hate Bootlegs? Cheaply made, games tend to crash, have English>Taiwanese>English translations for some fucking reason or straight up refuse to boot after a few plays. What the fuck is it trying to fool? Grandmas and people who don't autistically read every Ebay listing detail? Not to mention it costs the exact same as the real deal, so it's a straight-up scam.
Don't even get me fucking started on controllers either. Buttons are all fucking stiff and tend to get stuck, plus the D-Pad can ALWAYS be pressed down because these bastards don't know how to make a proper d-pad for some ungodly reason.
Fuck chinks, fuck scammers, fuck 3rd party companies, I shouldn't have to meta-game my online shopping you fucking assholes.

The moment the game started, I was instantly transported into this futuristic, alien world. The graphics are out of this world! The colors are so vivid, and the characters and environments are so detailed. It feels like I'm actually exploring another planet! And the gameplay, it's like nothing I've ever seen before. I take control of Samus Aran, this awesome space bounty hunter, and the way he (he's gotta be a dude, right?) moves and fights is so smooth and responsive. It's like I'm in total control of his every move. And the levels in this game are massive! They're like these complex mazes filled with hidden paths and power-ups. It's all about exploring and discovering new areas. I feel like a real space adventurer, uncovering secrets and battling alien creatures.

I remember playing a lot of shmups when I was younger, with some fond memories for some that were included in Galaxy of Games compilations in from 2002, like Raptor: Call of the Shadows, Nebula Fighter, Demonstar, Drone, and Moon Buggy, along with a bunch of other games. A lot of the games were older than the compilation's release, but they were still tons of fun. Do you all have any old shmups you love? Or any obscure PC/DOS games you remember fondly?
>>
Also, if anyone can help, I'm struggling to remember a shmup that I played around the same time I played the others. Most of the computers I played on were school computers and clones of each other, but one computer had a couple more games than the rest. I'm pretty certain the game I'm looking for isn't on any of the GoG compilations, I could be wrong though. All I remember is it's 2D scrolling, enemies come from the top, you control a weaponized semi-truck, the background is a highway and rocky/sandy brown outside the medians. the road was not very wide, I can't remember enemies, and the graphics were rudimentary. The intro screen was either black or navy/purple (color blind) with sans serif text and potentially a small logo. The music in the background was licensed, had something to do with "hero" or potentially "Save the world", and it may have been Christian, like "Get down" by Audio Adrenaline. Any help would be great.

Completely agree, very beautiful and endearing. Touring with the band to cozy little towns, playing harmonica and getting into low-stakes robot battles. It's a shame so few people have played it.

Which is the best emulator / OS which I can to get the best out of my rpi4?

I really want to get into retro gaming. I'm also looking for most authentic retro experience so I won't be using shaders and stuff.

I thought of installing retropi but are there alternatives which are superior to it ?

>VGA to Component transcoder or similar (like $60 on ebay I already had a spare around from my main computer)

>Why aren't more people doing this?
Because people are stupid. Pay $100 and get a small, unassuming metal box that can play anything you want for free while also acting as a complete home entertainment system and a regular computer on top of it all? That would make too much sense. It has no sex appeal for them. They need to shell out tons of money for locked down shitbox consoles, brand name emuboxes or the like. They'll argue against it six ways to Sunday on the basis of "uhh I just want convenience!" or something equally retarded, but it's all cope.

I don't do this because I already had a raspberry pi laying around that I wasn't doing anything with, and it's good enough. Like most people, I already have the 5th/6th gen consoles I care about and it works for everything 1-4. I think that's the case for the average pi user.
