Post some retro games everybody hates but you happen to like, for me it's Knuckles' Chaotix. The ring mechanic is fun and the music and visuals are gorgeous.

i played this game once, i thought the gameplay itself was dogshit but everything else was too charming to hate
>>
>>12354192
I can't understand what people dislike about Chaotix. Yeah, the level design is disorganized, but who cares? You get to play as a million characters with cool powers and the special stages and bosses are great. Just goof around in it and don't take it so seriously.

It's not even hard, most complaints are about the 5 acts per zone structure but you can just use charmy to fly through every act.
>>
>>12354258
Can confirm. Gameplay isn't great but it's at least interesting. 5 acts really kills it though. I would happily have sacrificed 2 of those acts each for just one more level theme.

How come there are no romhacks of this to make it good?

>Post some retro games everybody hates but you happen to like
If "everybody" hates a game but I like it, that doesn't mean it's a bad game. It means everyone else has bad taste.
>>
>>12354192
I really enjoy the game, but I admit never have any sense of progression while playing it. Oh and all the boss fights are lame and horrible.

awesome possum kicks doctor machino's butt!

I thought Hydlide and Deadly Towers were pretty fun. I've beaten them both.

What do you guys think about the old video game convention of having a logo'd border around the gameplay area that shows all your stats and progress?
>>
>>12354249
Based.

I never managed to get very into Web of Fire... for me? It's Return of the SInister Shit.

It's like if cruising USA fucked gran tourism and had a retard baby but I love it
>>
>>12354192
Can't somebody make a romhack of this that is good?
>>
>>12355752
I like it. I think it feels comfy having all that information immediately available
>>
>>12355976
It's already good, hence the lack of rom hack to "make it good"

>>12355940
Oh yeah dude I ended up beating the sinister six from the last thread where I was the op. Still havent beatened t2 tho

Yu yu Hakusho final

>>12356385
Awesome! What did you think of it? True Lies' 2nd and 3rd levels are kicking my ass so ar.

nes versions of Ultima 3 and 4.

some of its jank is just Ultima, some of it is just the weird JRPG dye it got washed in. And the endings are beyond disappointing, but sometimes its what scratches the itch...
>>
>>12356440
I don't buy it

Death Duel, incredibly jank because of the AI cheating half the time, but I find it to be very unique

One of those games that Mark from Classic Game Room constantly championed

They aren't especially good, but I still replay some of the Valis games every now and then. I like the aesthetics, they have some nice music, and I enjoy those sorts of action sidescrollers enough to have fun even with fairly unremarkable ones.

>>12355731
They aren't something I'm likely to ever revisit, but I enjoyed them at the time. I don't think I ever realized as a kid that the dungeons in Deadly Towers loop in some places, so I drew some huge, convoluted maps for them.
>>
>>12357583
The Valis games are loved by a particular type of gamer despite none of them being that good. Anime babes and great music go a long way I guess. Not shocked they pivoted to just making hentai games.

Knuckles Chaotix

> Level designs = terrible
> Level assets = Good and nice at the view
> Level musics = Very good
> Special stages = Pretty enjoying but the music of the infinite tube could start echoning in your ears, after a while
> Level and Character selection part = amusing and well colored. Nice musics.
> Game bosses = Too easy
> Ending = Depends. Bad ending is really destructive for the user, unusual for a Sonic game
> Ring mechanic = Pure steaming shit. I'm glad it has been dropped after this title and never seen again anywhere
>>
>>12355976
Thing is no one give a damn to this title. They neither try. The ring mechanic is too deep latched with the game itself. Re-using the musics and the level assets, without the ring nightmare thing, could be interesting for a Mania mod, IMO.

specifically the snes version has this weird cozy feel for me i cant describe why maybe im just retarded
>>
I'm the weird fucker for whom the Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 was better than 1. I don't care that much for the SNES MMX games or X4, I like X5 and X6 a lot.
>>
>>12358601
I thought X5 was acceptable. X6 was where things went to shit imo
>>
>>12358595
Early SNES games in general have that cozy feeling. I think it's how the music sounds or the colors. Or it could just be my nostalgia who knows.
>>
the soundtrack is grating, its glitchy as fuck, and it seems like the gameplay is jsut completely stacked against you

but god dammit I love score attacks and dropping dogs down manholes always cracks me up
>>
its not even bad, desu, I think most people hate it because they never tried to learn the upgrade system and it doesnt paly like a regular contra game
>>
>>12358516
>1st lvl is good
>everything after it sucks and lvls gets fuckhuge
Could've been good, but i think they were rushed.
>>
>>12359078
There's a neat, half baked concept here but it is really held back by the sloppy programming.
>>
>>12357120
It was fun man desu and id play it again desu. Maybe next time it'll be the sms version. Liked the boss fights and the levels definitely a fun nes game for sure. It took me a bit to get the punches and stuff down cause it was like eveey time I pressed the attack button spider man did a different move lmao but when I got it down it was alot of fun. And yeah true lies gets very very hard. Definitely one of those games I beat with save states like figuring it has a password system saving at the beginning of each level and it still was hard as fuck lmao. That game is so hard but so fun to me. Its a real gem

>>12359904
I'm happy for you, anon! It's a very nostalgic title for me, especially punching the enemies and holding the button down to do more damage with the punches, having them explode and seeing the bosses' HP drain so fast with those satisfying SFX is a treat for me. I personally find the Master System/Game Gear ports worse, but many prefer them, it's a matter of taste and, honestly if I take away my bias, they don't differ much in quality from the NES, hope you have fun! As for True Lies, I think the main reason I'm struggling is the lives system and how the passwords save your current lives, you have to end the level in a net positive in lives or else you're not making it far, and level 2, especially the boss, drains many of my lives, if only it had a continue system and/or the password system reset your lives, but as it is I don't see myself getting far without cheating, I suck.

>>12354192
I have very little time to play nowadays... and when I finally do, I have little energy, often prefer to do other things that are more comfortable, like shitposting here, but over time I started to grow fond of a lot of kusoge simply for being 10min to 15min long, I've recently replayed Karate Kid on NES and as subpar as that is, it's fun for what it's worth, and so short.
