Vigilante is rather average as far as old beat-em-ups go, but Dungeon Explorer and its sequel are a lot of fun. They're what you'd get if NES Zelda and Gauntlet shacked up. The first has amazing music for a HuCard.Quote:

That's the one I meant! Didn't even know there was an MSX one. Old-ass foreign computers.Quote:

I don't know, what makes it so much worse than CV1 or CV3? Unless you don't like those, either.
I really don't know, I love 1 and especially 3. There's that tree that gets hit by lightning, that's kind of cool. I played it when I was home for Christmas one of these last few years since all that's left back there is a PS and finished it in both modes over a couple of days.
It didn't feel that good to me when I played it. Your main dude felt sooooo slooooowwww, maybe because he is a larger sprite than in CV 1 or 3. Aside from the wolf that flips out and is a billion times more agile than you are, throwing the background all over, I didn't think the bosses were that memorable. Rondo of Blood feels like an orgasm to control compared to this, and it had better bosses. It just wasn't as stupid hard, which almost seems to be the one thing you look for these days.
It's not the one thing I look for, but challenge is weighted pretty heavily in a lot of the genres that I like. CV3 would probably overtake CV X68000 if it somehow had Rondo's aesthetics, for example. I like Shinobi III more than a lot of games that are harder than it, and it's largely because the aesthetics are so good and the challenges are at least demanding enough to keep me focused.
You're probably right about the game feeling slow because of larger sprites. That usually bugs me, but I might have been used to it after playing CV4, dunno.
Well, I think I'm finally going to give up on my Toaster NES. If one thing isn't wrong with it, it's another thing...
After I bought and replaced the 72 pin connector and cartridge trays, the games were working great IF I kept a controller, in the cartrkdge slot, to hold down the cartridge. That worked like magic for about two days...then suddenly...the games stopped working again. I tried cleaning the games and the pin connector....but got nothing. After about an hour of fussing with the thing, I got Shadowgate to load again, but suddenly none of my controllers worked.
My best guess, is that the cartridge tray I bought must have slipped off of the circuit board somehow...and maybe it knocked the controller wires lose in the process...
Either way, there are way too many little nitpciky things that can go wrong with these toaster NES systems, that it' just not worth it.
I forgot what you guys said about the Top Loading NES a few weeks back. You guys said it loads the games better, but the picture quality is shitty, right? Because I'm seriously revisiting the idea of buying a top loader now...
Picture quality is shitty, unless you do a composite video mod, and to do that well it requires the sacrifice of a toaster NES. That being said, you seem to have a donor toaster! I think the toaster could probably be fixed fairly easily though.
