You can just transfer the files and it should find them again. I did that with Kiwix and Zeal, if I’m not mistaken. Nowadays I don’t use Zeal, but don’t remember having such a trouble when installing a new os and taking old HDD over.

Nice website. There is also Zeal: https://zealdocs.org/ and for other type of documents. There is Kiwix: https://kiwix.org , which I use to download the entire Wikipedia.

Glad you like it. He always does this in-dept technical explanation, which sometimes is too technical for me. I noticed it wasn’t even the video I wanted to link and updated the reply with the additional link about the water level specifically.

Here is a very good technical video about this topic: The Bad Jump Design and 30 FPS Gravity of TMNT (NES) - Behind the Code

Edit: I linked the wrong video. Here is the one I wanted to link, from the same guy:
The Broken Water Level of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES) - Behind the Code

Exactly. Battletoads isn’t unfair, its just extremely hard (not different from Dark Souls). It’s different kind of hard, compared to Turtles, which had bad controls in example.

I never played that game, but already gave up after reading a lot about it. Another game many people learned to give up is probably Battletoads.

Secret of Mana was originally developed and planned to be released for the SNES CD ROM extension (named Playstation!). It had way more content, graphics and music in CD quality. But, as we know, Nintendo suddenly stopped the plans for CD ROM and Sony created the Playstation therefore. And this angered Squaresoft too, as they had to rework the game and create a cut down version for the cartridge, and it was still more expensive compared to CD too. And later when Nintendo went with carts on N64 again, they had enough and developed Final Fantasy 7 for the Playstation.

Yasunori Mitsuda, the main composer of Chrono Trigger, worked so hard and poured his heart into the game that he got sick and could not work anymore. And because of a hard drive crash he lost ton of in work tracks. That’s why Nobuo Uematsu helped him to finish the scores.

That website you linked also hosts ton of roms and complete romsets for every possibly system.

Looking at the comment history of this profile, is this a spam account trying to collect likes before it casts his spam magic spells? Sorry if you are a human, but you look like a malfunctioning robot.

I don’t think this is a good thing. Atari didn’t prove themselves in the recent years, so my trust is shaken. Also taking the company Digital Eclipse from the free market is concerning, because they did awesome jobs with restoration of older games for other companies. Will Atari allow them to work on other projects? And what is the goal here? Does Atari only sell their old stuff and do not produce new games? And if Atari fails, then will Digital Eclipse be resolved into nothing?

I’m worried for Digital Eclipse, because that’s an awesome game house I do not want to lose in the gaming industry.

I don’t trust Google or Microsoft for privacy and such stuff. But Microsoft does not give up as fast as Google.

I learned about this game through MAME and it’s one of the most interesting old Arcade games to me. It’s also worth checking out the original Arcade version if you can.

There are colorized versions available, made by community, but really well done.

It’s not really something special or so, but I had it in my youth and used the level editor to build countless levels with my friend. It’s a side scrolling puzzle game, with the abiliy to go back in history with a nice backwards animation.

While I understand this is humorous post, it’s not crystal clear. That does not mean people lack humor, that only means we encounter a lot of trolls or idiots in the forums, that we no longer know if someone is joking or is being serious. So you should not call people being seriously wounded, if your joke didn’t come as you wish it was.

In short, if it’s not 100% clear (and it’s not), then marking it as “sarcasm” is not a bad idea if you just making a joke without trolling or flamewar. That’s just my thumb of rule. It helps you not get misunderstood.

Yeah, the games itself weren’t good. I wasn’t a big fan of them back in the day. But I feel somewhat nostalgic about them nowadays when playing on an emulator.
