PRESS START TO PLAY: This board is for the discussion of classic, or "retro" games, including consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games. Retro gaming means platforms launched in 2001 and earlier, and official game titles for those platforms released no later than December 2007 (homebrew console games made after this date will be permitted). The Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, and Sony PlayStation 2 will now be considered "retro". Helpful links: Game Tech Wiki Emulation General Wiki

Stop playing video games and go touch grass: Based ,pretty ballsy to have this message in a video game

How is the new Blood rerelease?

This will sell our console.

>Console exclusive has unique graphical effects that were exclusive to that console's unique hardware Soul?

damn this shit is hard

(You) are told to make a third Startropics game. How do you do it? I feel the problem with making another game is I'm not sure how to update and build on the first two without losing what makes it unique and making it even more similar to Zelda The grid shit is a bit clunky but you take that away and it's piss-all like Startropics, it's just another Zelda clone with a less derivative setting

Street Fighter 2 >Chun-Li >Cammy Mortal Kombat 3 >Sonya >Kitana/Mileena/Jade >Sheeva >Sindel MK had x3 the girls. SF is a sausagefest.

what is this?: found this randomly while scrolling through sega retro. Apparently there was a hang on pinball machine? Cant find much about this online.

Ocarina of Time: I'm not sure it holds up. It doesn't have analog camera, it runs at 240p resolution and average 20fps, there's hitching when you pause the game, saving quitting and resuming doesn't retain your position in the game, most puzzles involve block pushing or just shooting a switch, there's unskippable cutscenes every 30 seconds, the lock on bounces to enemies you don't intend it to, there's knee high fences you cannot vault over, there's inclines the horse refuses to move beyond, you have to play several songs and run back to the temple of time to transform between child and adult forms, rupees are completely worthless and seemingly the only reward you get for exploration, the dialogue options are redundant just forcing you to pick Yes, there's tons of things the game just doesn't explain, there's tons of things the game over explains, the map is useless, a lot of the only sidequests in the game are fetch quests, nonexistent swimming controls, arbitrary limitations between child and adult link items, the teleports between areas leave a lot to be desired, no faster movement mechanic for young link, the challenge is virtually nonexistent, there's a lot of backtracking for 100% completion, Navi gets stuck repeating the same info routinely, many items are just palette swaps or replacements with the same functionality, and there's no world building or character development. For its time like 30 years ago it must have been really impressive, however these days I can probably give it a 7/10. Twilight Princess was a direct upgrade and I'd rather play it instead.

>sit through three boring chapters before you can play earthbound but worse I wish this game was more like Mother 1/2

Honest thoughts on square’s Mario OCs?

Did SNK's official arcades feature games from other companies?

Should I buy a Genesis?: Should I bug a Sega Genesis? I am a small time collector, but money is very tight. Honestly I cant afford it, but every year the prices get higher. I really want to play Ecco the Dolphin and Desert Strike but I only have 1000 dollars to my name :( I own a CRT, a NES, N64, PS1 and a PS2

Are there any fans of seaQuest DSV here? The Genesis/SNES game was kinda interesting.

Games where a port is better than the original. The DOS versions of Ultima (except Ultima 1) also come to mind

Yuzo Koshiro and John Romero just linked up! Need it or keep it?

dude, check this brilliant thread idea i had game/system/tech a vs. game/system/tech b!

Yeah! Rayman!

ALIEN 3 Gameboy: I actually liked Alien 3 for the Gameboy, it felt much closer to the movie in style and gameplay. Unlike the NES where there's 1000 aliens and you get endless guns. Oh Hudson I knew him well... well not really. This was the best prequel to Alien 1979 I have ever read and seen, /tv/. It was most excellent. The xenomorphs are here to protect us from the red cells, guy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmjF6YKe0fk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFjTxnb2l04 https://heyzine.com/flip-book/6bd0377d5c.html https://docs.google.com/document/d/1333SxUDcSkt4QJe3DOnFN7s82SBGrtBpD6jtXAPmfXQ/edit?tab=t.0 If you were put in charge of making a retro Alien/Aliens/Weyland Yutani/Space Jockey game what would you make? Hardmode: don't say Contra and Metroid, at least not a basic bitch Gunstar Heroes Contra & Metroidvania that plays the same but with a giant inventory. If you put me in charge I'd make 2 in 1 games: Pokemon Team Rocket game where you're Weyland Yutani who has to capture and experiment on over 151 xenomorphs and the 2nd game you're the xenomorphs trying to build a hive and take control of the world. It feels good playing a RTS-RPG as the bad guys where nobody is good.

>Trails: On

“Gamecube has so many amazing exclusives”: >killed rare >killed Starfox >killed F-zero because GX of such a higher quality than everything else on the console, Nintendo is still too afraid to make another one >worst 3D Mario >worst 2D Zelda (FSA) >tried to pozz up Paper Mario -v- Let’s just say I’m happy GBA and M&L Superstar Saga existed or we would probably never have another Mario RPG again.

What about those later Spectrum computers?: And the foreign clones and enhanced versions? Anybody actually ever used them? And was there any software or games for them or basically did you just play the older games? In the Americas, the Spectrum was a side note at best. We never got many (any?) of the enhanced ones or especially the later clones.

It's better than Ninja Gaiden.

I kind of don't give a shit about Id games. I respect them, but they feel more like engine demos than compelling video games. They do not have interest factor. Also, Daikatana is cooler than anything Id ever made.

SiN: Gold: Anyone else a fan of this one? I'm surprised how obscure it is even after all these years, even in the retro gaming community.

What cancelled prototype do you want to play the most?

Indiana Jones - The Infernal Machine: This game really shows why so called 'tank controls' and tile based movement worked so well with Tomb Raider gameplay. With analog movement and "jump from any point within the tile" controls the platforming is so much worse that even the simplest jumps from Tomb Raider can become a burden in this.

PS2 if he real

Jesus, dude

>so lackluster that even the future president of NoA would rather buy a Ps2 and a Xbox instead. What the fuck went wrong?

Ayane had (DOA2) the best pair of tits in /vr/: Just look at her. She's absolutely gorgeous. In DOA3 she was even cuter, and her absolute prime was DOA4. After Itagaki left, she went downhill fast; those idiots even changed her facial features. Meanwhile, they somehow made Samus insanely fuckable in Other M (Zero Suit Samus is literally the only thing that saves that trash game from being completely irredeemable). Itagaki single-handedly carried Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden on his back. The second he walked out the door, the quality tanked, but that all happened in the non-retro 7th gen era anyway, so whatever. Post gorgeous bitches or get the fuck out. GCNiggers, post Zero Suit Samus or get the fuck out too.

>1995 Sega CD game >Looks worse than SNES games What happened?

Shmup: We discuss these games where you shoot things, dodge other things. Sometimes you control a space ship, sometimes a magical girl and other times an octopus, while scrolling either horizontally or vertically. You have played Gradius, now go play Parodius, it's better.

Everyone calls Wind Waker a downgrade but honestly I feel like Sunshine was even a bigger downgrade, Mario moves get gimped, a shitty gimmick is forced for no reason, you must do the shines in order instead of freely exploring the levels, short, samey areas. Fucking underwhelming, all because they desperately wanted us to go "WOW NICE WATER" I don't give a shit about the stupid water if the game is worse than sm64

lightgun and rail shooters are pretty much the non-gay versions of shmups

The only shmup anyone played in arcades in the US. The rest is zoomer shit that poser weebs think will make them more Japanese if they pretend to like

So what Xbox games are actually playable on this piece of shit?

What's your favorite retro pokemon?

Are CRT shaders a meme or do they actually improve retro games that were made with CRTs in mind?

Jade Cocoon was one of the best games on PSX Yet hardly everyone knows about it

But I actually do enjoy sailing in Wind Waker, why is everyone being such an asshole about it?

007 VIDYA THREAD: What do we think of 'em, /vr/os? Which ones are good? So far played: GoldenEye - kino as expected James Bond 007 ('98 Game Boy) - worse Link's Awakening, but pretty cool. Is Tomorrow Never Dies on PS1 really that bad, or just didn't live up to GoldenEye? Also skipped the whole Domark era - did I miss anything worth a damn?

Remember that paid MGS2 demo that came with a free game?

Colonization (and other old strategy games): I am about to try the original Sid Meier's Colonization, what are your thoughts on it? and other older strategy games you like? My absolutely favorite is Master of Orion 2

Are Time Crisis and Ace Combat set in the same universe?

where the fuck are the septs pic unrelated

I don't get the hype: the only combos you need is pop them up and spam air kicks and repeat.

What the fuck were they thinking?

Do you think Marco recognized the soldiers who fought side by side with him to defeat the aliens when he fought them again in 3, or did he just pop them in the head and move on without blinking?

Why do we have a board that basically comes down to "what you grew up with WASN'T good, sorry." Arguing over what made a good game when the game came out 25 years ago is fucking weird. Can't we just celebrate the era? (I'm not calling this game good, for the record, but I needed a screenshot.)

what are your thoughts on winston?

I am tired of people acting like this piece of shit is worth playing. Maybe if you speak Japanese you can find something worth it. >but the controllers good! Conjoined Dpads are shit and only sony understands that.

The great debate

Why is this game being astroturfed so much for the last few years?

Does anyone happen to have high res scans of the Japanese Melee game cover and manual cover?

Got in an argument with my stupid coworker today: >at lunch >someone brings up the N64 >my ears perk up >aforementioned coworker says how DK64 is his favourite N64 game of all time >I tell him how much people say it’s an awful game >he actually insists it was really fun >I try explaining how it was just a tedious broken game design and is widely considered to be a bland and overly long collectathon >he rolls his eyes and starts to ignore me He really didn’t get it, how do you deal with people who don’t care to talk about actual game design?

Peak and Decline: I can think of like twenty games I love on an individual 4th Gen console. About 10 on 5th gen. And like 6 on 6th Gen and that's only PS2, it's about 3 for the other ones

Does /vr/ actually play games?: Only discuss games that you've played recently or are playing right now ITT. Post high scores, talk about levels you like/dislike, review games (without sounding like a faggot), see if someone wants to play a multiplayer game, show the board you actually play games. An image showing you're actually playing is encouraged, but not necessary. Publicly shame and report any niggers that attempt to derail. Anyways, I'm playing through GTA San Andreas and so far I'm enjoying it a lot. Unfortunately I get motion sickness easily so I can only play for an hour at a time. I also played some CPS1 Street Fighter II and even though I prefer alpha, I still had a good time.

>shovelware licenshit kamasuge!!! Yeah too bad none of us as actual kids in the 90s cared because this was rad even to have mid games of everything we loved. I might have really gotten a boner from completing DKC or Sonic and could recognize the better design in my childbrain, but I spent as much time being frustrated at shit like this and somehow the memories are fonder because of the franchises and the amazement of one medium crossing over to another in such mass quantity

What made the GCN so good?

Post your setups

Do you prefer literal translations or localizations?

How the hell did Retro Studios make such an incredible game on their first fucking try? Metroid Prime is such a fucking joy to play, the shooting is just fun, the world is incredibly designed and packed with secrets, the pacing is great, the graphics are among the very best of the generation, the music is incredible, everything about it is a masterpiece. I don't even like other Metroid games, just these first two Prime games they're just that good. Shame about 3 and 4.

You have 5 billion dollars. You decide to buy out the company in its entirety, all their IPs and everything else. You still have a few billion leftover, to make any games you could ever possibly want with neither money nor corporate overlords holding you back. What are the first 1-5 games you'd be making? What changes do you make? What are your grand plans?

SEGA Dreamcast: I am really interested in the Dreamcast.

I have already beaten SA, SA2, and Bangai-O and have enjoyed some Gunbird 2 Additionally, on the topic of old consoles, is there any benefit to playing on actual handware vs. emulation, this stays true for handhelds like the GBA too...

This game didn't get the love it deserved.

Absolute snoozefest, it's amazing how much of an improvement the sequel is

>Oh, you're not spoiling the game by using a guide? Fuck you and your 100% completion, good luck getting all the collectables on your original save file.

Only unique missables count, I am not talking about having permanently missed that one potion that you can buy hundreds of in any of the game's stores.

"Saturn has so many amazing exclusive": >play these "amazing" games >It's just ok Why the Saturn exclusive library is so underwhelming? I love the N64 and PS1 but damn i have suffered so many disappointement with the Saturn The only exclusive that i really loved was Night into dreams,amazing game The other stuff is either mediocre (Panzer dragoon saga,Guardian heroes,Sakura wars...) or pretty good but not amazing(Dragon force, Shining force 3, Taromaru...)

Skipper & Skeeto 2 crash: This game crashes whenever I enter the left path in the sewers. I tried reaching out to microsoft for assistance, but they're taking too long https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaPHWsmejoI
