I can really deeply recommend you the lost Artefact, the "Expansion" is sooo much better than TR3.

Was very much fun to play through it.

Golden Mask is also good.

Besides that, i am not the biggest Fan of TR3-5 and we better forget about six (even with the verz ambitious Fan Patch).
The third has a bad Pacing and too many BS Moments.

I can also recommend the isometric GBA Game, it captures the Feel of the first Game pretty good

I did restore this and also wanted to exchange the new Hand with the exclamation mark and psx buttons.
As the file for the later ones is the same, i had to mix the to files, these are simple pictures that you can open with paint.net, photoshop, gimp or whatever you like.
Someone must have exchanged that specific file.

Btw. The lost Artefact is very very very good, much much better than TR3.

@RubyCarbuncle

You are right

@heisnbrg

So, if you are serious, would you please delete your profile picture now?
It is copyright infringement and you are actively sharing it here with others.
Nintendo could get aware and contact Nintendolife to get rid off every picture that is uploaded by fans as a profile picture and has its characters in it.

@heisnbrg

You are comparing fan art with murder, lol.
Don't you see a difference between free created art based on an existing IP and theft and murder?

You are also comparing fan art with an "what if company x would".
We aren't talking about a coorporate thing here, we are talking about private persons that don't earn money from being creative.

Btw. You yourself are using a profile picture of an IP you do not own.
A modder creates something from ground, even if based on an IP, you just copied that picture

With such strickt thinking, no one of us would be allowed to use such profile pics.

@gcunit @heisnbrg

When i was a Kid my Mother made me a couple of Times a Teenage Ninja Hero Turtles Cake.
The Cake was shared with others that came to my Birthdays.
With the Logic you mention, this would be also forbidden, as she used the IP without paying for it.

Modding exists since the Dawn of Computing and People are creating all kind of fun Stuff.
From the former mentioned Models in Games as Quake 3 to full blown Mods as Bid for Power.

The World would be very boring, if we go the very restrictiv Japanese "Copyright Infringement" Way.

That is why many Countries develope some kind of fair use Law.

They will never take down my Picachu in UT2K4 fighting Sailor Moon, Bender and Eva01 with his Rocket Launcher.
Same for Quake 3.

Old Games are gold Games

@Ristar24

Absolutly, i need that haha

@Nontendo_4DS
Wouldn't it be cool if such a "Mini" could play actual real Modules

I modded them back on PC and i stop updating the Game now.

And if they can port those, they can port Oblivion.

This is an insane and very dumb Law, the Lobby is big in Japan to get such a Law.

@HammerKirby

because others do not want to publish it.
It is a niche Game and physical Media is dieing.
Don't be fooled by the Fear of missing out, most of the Switch Games are limited.
The first Runs are often with the full Game, the next are gone or only a Code in a Box.
Octopath Traveler and Doom 2016 are Examples, i got my Switch two Years after Release and there was no new Copy of Octopath Trabeler to be found.
I got Doom 16 gladly on Amazon, but for the full Price.

The other PAL ones feature the black Background and Text their Language.

@billiybob76

Nah, Nintendo skips Security.

Edit:

Whoops!

The info you're looking for can't be found!
You might want to try searching again or explore one of the links below

I want it now!

Looks very cheap, really really cheap.

Well, why should i buy it then?

@Chibi_Manny

the Mario bros got me really hard laughing and my Wife, did not expect that they do it as well.
Thought it will be just two apes

I hope fans will do fan servers for those games

@Draelyn
i agree, i don't see what is Iconic about Ellie, she is so generic.

Even the Guards from Skyrim with their Arror in the Knee are more iconic

The Baldurs Gate Charakters also way too new, they have to stand the Test of Time.

Lara being even on Advertisments and one of the first Characters being so present outside of Video Games, really belongs to the iconic List besides of Mario.

@Arawn93

You are mixing theft with the download of an illegal copy, it is not the same.
You should also be very careful with the numbers you are throwing around, a potential loss is easily spoken, until a judges wants you to proof it, than it gets hard and most avoid it.

As said, if it would really have such an impact, than the industry would have been dead in the 80s and 90s.
Any kind of DRM is killed off right at the first day and the game is easily aviable for those that don't want to buy it anyway.

Another example is the music industry, they abandoned DRM at all.

Or take Paolo Cuelho, he puts his books himself for free into the internet and he still sells them in several Millions.

Your media must be easily purchasable, than it sells.

Wow, Wario Land?
Love it, but i would have not expected it to raid this Voting haha

@Total_Weirdo
Manual, but as the classic PC Releases, save as often as you want.

@Grumblevolcano

Was a frame pacing issue, was driving me nuts, as i thought i am crazy.
I played TR1 and 2 last Year and tested it also after noticing that and they did run fluent.

To everyone:
Go play the lost Artefact

It is SOOO good, TR3 is annoying, but lost Artefact is a real Gem.

They were insane to hide it in the Gold Release for all that Time.

The Train seems great

The others have too much free Room

@Arawn93
ahh but most Games are cracked at the first day, some even see the light of day before release.
It never has a true impact on the Revenue.

These People are not the majority the Comapnies will make money with.
These People wouldn't buy the Game, even if it costs a Dollar and you do everything to please them.
Some are just the Complainers that complain about everything, some are just broke and than there are also People with other Reasons.

You can see this also with Baldur's Gate 3, the Game came out on Gog the same Day as on Steam.
It has no DRM and the Copy can be spread out without any Problem.
Netherless, the Games sells wildly.

The Music Industry also sells its Music without DRM, after they learned from Napster, Kazaa and Limewire.
Easy Access is more important than DRM.

@nocdaes

People pirate games if:

• They aren't aviable
• They aren't aviable for a normal price
• They bought the games and don't have the hardware to copy the rom/image themselfs
• They are broke

I have a Retrode2 and i copies all of my games.
I have Pirates of Dark Water on the Super Nintendo, but when i see the prices of that game on ebay, i suggest people to pirate it.
Nobody wins if someone buys an old module for up to 300€.
Same with other games, i did look up how much they cost and i just did pirate them.
The devs don't get any money out of it.

Also, i have Super Mario World since its release, got it on the GBA and on the Virtual Console (Wii U), also played it on Switch over Nintendo online.
But i did pirate the NTSC Version for Rom Hacks, as they are never done for the PAL Rom i ripped myself.
Nobody gets harmed of it.

But it shows, if it is aviable for a reasonable price, People will buy it.

Same with the Rerelase of Wild Guns, Joe and Mac and Cotton 100%, got them from Dragon Box.

It seems Nintendo itself is seeing it like that, they only go after people if:

• They are doing it in a comercial way, as that Rom Side some years ago
• It is a current system or project

Also other Companies, they put in the DRM in the first few months, as most of the revenue is done in that period.
After that, a first discount comes out to convince people undecided and than most games only sell with high discounts.
The DRM than often gets removed, as it makes no sense.

@Rambler
Absolutly, you must update your Software regulary to keep it in the Store, a stupid and time wasting procedere.
So maybe it was just not worth it.

Did he charge Money for the Emulator?
Because in the End there are multiple free ones out there, just throw Retroarch on the Device and you are done

He could also throw the Emulator out in the Wild to allow Sideloads or put it on F-Droid.

the MSU Version is a dream

@timschel

I promote you to Senior Module and Disc Manager.

But i agree, you can clearly see that the Industy is bloated and they aren't doing Games because they follow a creative and fun Idea, but they follow Rules to use Triggers of Addiction as Gambling Machines do.

Kinda funny how he went from Japan to Europe and got westernized and than in the US he got covered up

@Poodlestargenerica

Guess this can happen to any Company growing too much.
More and more People come, Key People that head the Spirit leave and all you get is a Company with Employees that do their Job, Bureaucracy and in the worst Case People that aren't creative, but "activists".
That leads to Prdoucts growing slowly, having no real Soul and being heavily influenced by Numbers of trending Products/Agendas.

Stupid Embraced Group, Saber is bringing the Bread to the Table, meanwhile Crystal Dynamics seemingly does not.

DRM free as Gog

Bravely Third? To stay with the Confusing Name Scheme ?

So, the last Games did run so bad, they decided to throw out Textures and call it Style and Ambitious haha

Hmm
For me, non.

I somehow thought it has came out last Year

On the small Module the Cover does look good, but on the Box it is a bit too lame.
Would have suggest another one.

Overall, because of that i will buy it on Gog

Europe by far, great compisition

@LikelySatan

haha early teenage me was also not seeing why people like half life or halo.
One has you sitting around for way too long time in that train thing and the other one only lets you have two weapons?

I have spend 15 Hours so far with the Remaster, played through the golden Mask and now i am with the lost Artefact.
I also played a bit the main Games, you can really see that Fans are behind the Remaster, love it, even if it is not perfect.

@ZealMajin
The Aqueduct in Segovia was build circa in 98 AD and served until 1973 as Water Supply, a roman Master Piece nearly 2000 Years in Usage.

@ZealMajin
The Game has no DRM on Steam, so you can grab a jewel Case and CD to make your own one.
I think the Developer has some Pictures of physical Release on his X Account shown, so you can inspire yourself

Seems the game is a flop, gameplay and sales aren't convincing.
The Playerbase on Steam is relatively low for a Service Game.

@Thisdamian

If you like the Two Towers Game, give Demon Stone a look, same Game, only in the Dungeons and Dragons Universe.

Hmm

Just found two Analyst Companies, just let them say exact the opposite of each other all the Time.
Be right with your Anaysis 50% of the Time.

Edit:
To be serious, it depends on current Trends and if they get the Advertisment right, as they did with the first Switch.
It aimed trendy young Adults and was clear what it wanted to be.

@Bobb
I guess not, she is just a Manager as everyone else.
Managers are there to rule by Numbers, not by Passion and i get it, Activision Blizzard is a really really big Company, you can't manage it without using the Numbers.

But i guess such Managers need a Consultant with such Passion, because sometimes Numbers leads you to Diablo Immortal, as mobile Games make much Money, but they don't build up IPs.

From what i have read the last Decade over Blizzard, that they can't pass the Passion to the Teams, they see it just as a Job and they also can't hold them for longer Time Periods.
This leads to mediocre Products.

The Spirit within Blizzard is gone.

Lets see if she can revive it, maybe she is smart enough and can do it, now also with Microsoft as a new Lead.

No Option for the N64 Remake XP?
