Snickerd00dle's Summer Challenge 2012 - how is it going?

[auxint]

1. Conker's Bad Fur Day (N64)
2. Yoshi's Story (N64)
3. Brave Fencer Musashi (PSX)
4. Gradius III (SNES)
5. Super Mario World 2 (SNES)
6. Illusion of Gaia (SNES)
7. Beyond Good & Evil (GCN)
8. Grim Fandango (PC)
9. Painkiller (PC)
10. Return to Castle Wolfenstein (PC)

Assuming I can resist the lure of Diablo 3, this seems doable.

Good luck.

Yeah, I come back to that game once a year and give it a go. I usually hit a wall at the speed stage cause I have to re-memorize it each time.

And no, Ack, I meant SMB 2. Although, I would like to have an NES repro cart made of the "real" SMB 2.

If you don't mind funny coloured NES carts you can buy one here: http://www.retrousb.com/product_info.ph ... ucts_id=93

EDIT: Page says you can get it in gray as well.

Wow! That's... green!
Yeah. I'd probably get a gray.

Thanks for the link. I may buy one sometime.

I bought the PC port on Steam a few years ago during a summer sale. I believe they don't sell it anymore. It is available for 6 bucks on GOG though.

The GoG version is the AO European release, Fahrenheit. I doubt that's the version they put up on Steam. That's the version I have... I don't recommend the keyboard controls at all, and you can't use a 360 pad.

...how come no 360 pad? I was thinking of getting one for PC games, is that a no-go? I mean, will this game work with OTHER gamepads, just not a 360 one?

I guess my question is for just a general all-purpose PC pad, what should I be looking for? And then specifically, what about for this game should I choose to play the PC port instead of the PS2 port?

[sabrage]

This is the only game I've ever had serious trouble using the 360 pad; most developers seem to consider it the de-facto standard. Something about the way the triggers are mapped to axes prevents the game from recognizing one of the analog sticks, no matter how much I fiddled with it. Most any game made post-2006 (e.g. not Fahrenheit) seems to get along with it just fine, albeit sometimes with a little fiddling.
