Both great games. KotR is actually one of my favourite SNES beat-em-ups. I love the theme, I love the character selection (you select from one of three character classes), but I especially love the loot drops. As with most beat-em-ups, baddies drop loot which you can pick up to get points. But if you beat up the loot drops, they split into chunks, so a big treasure chest becomes multiple smaller blobs of treasure. This is theoretically so you can share with your co-op partners, but in fact the small treasure in aggregate is worth more than the large treasure. So make sure you always beat up loot drops to maximize your score! More points = More level-ups, and levelling up makes you look like a total badass, it's awesome.
Knights of the Round is amazing. Very very faithfull port.
Super Turrican is great, but Super Turrican 2 destroys it. The first one is prety cheap though
This isn't always true. Some 800 chests split in 4 180 bags.

Oh sweet! Hope the rom gets out there. I was always fascinated by it when I was younger because it looked like a pseudo-sequel to my beloved Mario Paint.
It improves on King of Dragons greatly (even though I love KoD)

I assume you mean Mario Paint, lol
Well, it's through my capture card and I just use the 640x480 res for fun, I can always take it back down to 320x240.

I loved Knights of the Round. Such a fun game.
It also has the honor of being the game where they felt the need to give the tigers ballsacks.

I've got a run saber and sunset riders I'm going to throw on eBay. Why's the going rate for carts only? Good condition
I feel like both of these have moved up in price lately

Super Turrican takes me back. I got that game for Christmas the year it came out. One of the best action games on the SNES. Never played part two though.
Super Turrican 2 is a very different game. It's a controversial title but I really like the game. Not a super big fan of Super Turrican 1. The overall presentation had that kind of very average European feel to it (which is strangely not as pronounced in Mega Turrican). ST2 just feels a lot more refined in several aspects.

Heh I had to read that twice. "I...dont see it?"
Glad I wasn't the only one extremely confused by that.

Check the sold listings on eBay to get an idea of pricing

Thanks.
Have you guys ever tried doing a game of the week/month type thing? Where everyone plays a certain game and talks about it?
I think this thread could accommodate a weekly game. A monthly type thing would probably be best grouped in with other retro systems.
Ah that's cool, well I tend to try to get the best out of my consoles which is why I went RGB with my SNES, Saturn and upcoming ones that need it badly(like Genesis and N64).I was merely curious about your setup
I tried with Genesis, but it wasnt weekly or monthly, was tied to a score challenge of sorts. I'd do more, but with work lately, i've been slacking lol.
I'd be game for anything like that though. I know in the PC engine / TG16 thread, trying to get a 1 shooter till you beat it type thing going.

Is anyone here a backer for Watermelon's Project N? I missed out on the early backing period but want to get an investor copy. Someone who has backed already can order another copy. Would obviously pay the cost and make it worth your while.

I'd love to get involved in something like this.
I have a bajillion ancient game cartridges (mostly famicom, NES) and want to play them, but never find a good opportunity. I'd like to participate in some kind of event with them.. that'd be great.

They'll still work.
Yeah I know, I was just curious as to whether or not SNES cartridges become more "wiggly" or something now that they aren't going to be held by the tabs.
Cool, good to know.
Let us know how it works for you. I really want to start collecting SFC games, but I just can't bring myself to break off those tabs.

I have 2 US SNESs, one I cut the tabs, one I didn't, and I often get them mixed up. They are visually and functionally identical, unless I peer inside the cart slot. Those tabs really were just crude analog region locking, even though I think we all assumed they were cart "stabilizers" back in the day.
That said, I also got a Super Famicom, which I use any chance I can get because it's so nice looking, and the carts just look better plugged into their intended cart slot.... The color of the cart is more matched to the design of the SuperFami too. Aesthetics!
Use what ya got, though. Anyone not on that SFC cart train is missing out on so much of the library.

Underrated game, in fact all 3 Rushing Beats are underrated in general.

I have Ran and Shura, I got rid of The Peace Keepers as soon as my copy of Shura arrived *lol*
You did the right thing.

I'm sure it's been talked about everywhere how that game was changed for the worst. I did appreciate the Tron references though.
I also bought Dead Dance instead of Tuff E Nuff
I picked up a SFC when I was stationed in Japan from 05-07 just to say I have one. I've highly considered buying the SFC versions of all of my SNES games and swapping the boards to play them on my SFC.
Anyone want my Super Everdrive? I'm done with the Homebrew stuff I wanted it for, and tend to prefer real carts on a daily basis. It's in a standard Nintendo grey cart shell, with a repro Zelda label and a universal game case with printed insert. PM me if you're interested! I'll let it go for less to a forum folk.
Oh, dsp chip installed and 2gb card included. It is the current model from stone age, deluxe style. Only difference is the shell.

haha totally over the top but yes I see the appeal.
I've sometimes wanted to have 60Hz NTSC versions of PS1 games inside the superior looking Japanese or PAL cases. My ideal Final Fantasy 7 for example would be the USA version in the PAL case.
Breeeak em!
Yup. Well maybe Ran and Shrua, dunno about the first, but havent played it in awhile.
Yeah I break my tabs on my SNES and mine plays every Super Famicom game flawlessly.
Also the 1st Rushing Beat is still good, but not as good as the sequels.
Congrats on Rockman and Forte, I only played the GBA one.Rockman x3 and Rockman and forte are now mine!
Recieved my Magic Sword and Gradius 3 yesterday.
Can't wait to play them tonight
Magic Sword is a strange game, lol.

Rockman and Forte has a great soundtrack
Indeed
Now I own every Rockman game for the SFC, that's a crossed line off my list
