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
How did boomers play Doom 2 or Quake keyboard only without tearing their hair out?
Doom and Quake had mouse support on launch. So did Wolf3d for that matter.
What key do you use to shoot?
>Everyone born in the 80s and before is a boomer>Even though the reality is that most of iD shooter players at the time were gen Xers or early millennials at the leastI hate this
>>12036064That's a small monitor
>>12036113you dont use the keys to shoot, you use the guns
>Play Western 6th gen game>Nu-metal starts playing
also
>>12036091agreedslipknot > limp SHITZKIT
>liked nu-metal as a kid>late high-school and early college start thinking it's cringe>feel that way through all of my 20s>mid 30s and starting to like it again
>>12036168What motivates someone to draw this
>>12036029This game introduced me to Swervedriver who have since become one of my favorite bands from the 90's.
>character goes from cute to cool in an instant Name /vr/ characters that can do this.
>>12035961there's also a WonderSwan game
>>12035969Awesome, that's good to know. I'll grab that rom as well. You get to the end of 2 and you're just reflecting on how short lived the character, gameplay, and atmosphere was. Glad it wasn't as short lived as I thought.
>>12035958I always laugh at that Namco X Capcom translation, they made Janga swear like there's no tomorrow and feels so out of place (no idea about his japanese speech habits).
The wonderswan game is surprisingly good so far. Genuinely surprised as usually these handheld titles feel more like an afterthought.
>>12035954Depends where on Brazil.If it's like Minas Gerais or the south etc its fine.Now if it's Rio or Bahia or some place in amazon, detroit is a much better option.

>>12035889their piles of money will be a lot bigger if the thor is a good product. it will sell like hot cakes.
>>12035889I look forward to the new people realizing how much the 3DS fucking sucked to play on.
>>12035889People are actually hyped for the thor. They're not gonna be dumb enough to ruin their reputation by chinking out on the hinge, right?
>>12036110that's why they're selling grips.
>>12036145Ah, but that's not the consensus. The public opinion is that 3DS ergonomics are great and you're a mutant if you complain.
>franchise peaks in its third instalmentWhy is this so rare in vidya

Top ten greatest arcade games (of all time)Mrs pacmanSf2DkSpace invadersDdrTmntAsteroidsFroggerStar wars trilogyGalaga
>>12033345The industry needed to invest in more proprietary cabs that offered unique peripherals instead of shitting out street fighter clones.
>>12030869Even in the UK we still had decent arcades in 2005, used to play HOTD4, Outrun 2 and Maximum Tune 2 on school lunch breaks cuz the arcade was just around the corner.
>>12035930No one has heard of any of those. None of those are making top 10, 25, 50, or 100 lists.
>>12035848This is the truth that lefty troon zillenials dont want to hear. That their childhood is inferior. They cant acknowledge the truth, They want to larp as having grown up with arcades and being oldschool.
>>12035946OutRun 2 is an excellent game, massive replayablity in both high scores and fast times
ITT: 10/10 level design only
Does any other metroidvania map compare to super metroid's map? Basically guides you on a linear path while making you feel like you're freely exploring.
>>12034369>swinming level>platforming levelNo thanks. Blood's first episode is flawless though.
>>12034463I'm gonna get reamed for this but some of the environments and level design in Metroid Prime were absolutely stunning.I agree with you on Super Metroid. It has a flow that guides you even when you might be slightly lost at times. Very well thought out
>>12035042>flawless>with all those hitscannersI like it too but come on
>>12034293Just jump back and forth for 3 minutes bro.

What is a good cheap camera for taking photos to make textures with?
>>12036152No what I meant there is the team's plans to ditch OpenGL for GZDoom entirely in favour of Vulkan are now also dead. Apperantly because VKDoom didn't get far enough along they dropped it all.
>>12036162Just use your phone. Modern phones are good enough, especially for lowres textures.
>>12035975The shadow axe forces (most?) monsters to flinch, so you can just stand there and hack a lone Shambler to death with no risk. I don’t know if it’s intentional or not
>>12036173Cool thank you. Then I'll just grab something for a 100 bucks since my smartphones camera is kind of ass.
Is this the biggest 'what if' in history? Basically you could only play it in a physical arcade, and they never released it anywhere else.
>>12030563The arcade in my local mall had this game. It was really impressive looking in person but like the other anons said, it barely had any actual gameplay to speak of because all you really did was choose which prerecorded clip was going to play next. I tried it once or twice then went back to Pac-Mania
>>12029651>>12029660Wow I forgot about these games. I used to play them in the arcade. Like tears in rain.
>>12035032Imagine if they made a giant Time Gal hologram.
>>12035087I want to see giant booba.>>12034768What a twat. You should have fucked him up the ass.
>>12033957>The 4 players games in the arcade were amazing to play with friendsCadash 4 player. WarriorNinjaWizardClericMy buddiesWho played D&D with me did a full four player playthrough once qnd only once. It was a memorable arcade experience as it was the first real arcade co-op RPG until Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom came out 7 years later. Unlike gauntlet there were shops and quests and you could grind for XP. Buying hourglasses bought game time either through in gameGold or real money. The home versions of cadash are gimped. Genesis eliminated the ninja and cleric, and TG16 had all four classes but only 2 player support, and a huge graphics downgrade.
Post Resident Evil trivia
>>12034931>>12033292>No True Director's Cut for the original Longbox Bros...
>>12032396Don't forget Onimusha is just ninja RE lol
>>12034927>By September 1999Amazing how far graphics improved from RE1 to Code Veronica
>>12032807Dual Shock version actually pauses the gameplay timer in the inventory screen, while original and DC did not. Which made a difference if you were chasing that infinite rocket launcher on real hardware.
>>12032758Yeah Zero is actually pretty close to how RE1 was originally envisioned, right down to all the boring giant animal enemies. It's the perfect example of why shit gets cut and reworked during development. I guarantee if RE 1.5 made it to release it would have been an equally terrible game.
In this thread i am forcing you to play Lufia 2 for the SNES, nohting else, just the SNES version. You are free to use one of the many mods for the SNES version, it is also recommend to use the Fure Lufia Mod.Like every year, you don't have to play through, if you still have your save boot it up, go the endless dungeon or level up your foam monster. Revisit the towns and do some sidequest. You also could play through again. As long as you play it, no kitten has to suffer.
I'm sticking to Fixxxer because that hack gives fanfiction vibes.
>>12033192Do you need achievements? Genuine question as I was half tempted to make an account for a TR playthrough but I don't use RA either because it looks like a hassle.
>>12034329which only leads to the retroactive question of what the fuck happened to the capsule monsters between 2 and 1?
bump
>>12032989for as many bugs that mod fixes, its really not necessary. theres like 1 or 2 things that are actually bad, but their so niche that you have to almost TRY to encounter it. and things like "vampire drain spell not working properly" arent very serious. as long as you play an original version that doesnt have a fucked up dual blade sword shrine, you're fine. its a great game, and you dont need mods.
What's the most challenging JRPG without feeling cheap?By that I mean you get a reasonable amount of tools to respond to the challenge that aren't just grinding
>>12035690post end game content is all about grinding spheres
>>12035625Pokemon has self modulating difficulty though. If you play it like Gary Oak and train up strong monsters from the start then its easy mode. If you constantly cycle in new interesting critters then you get as much challenge as you want
>>12035731That game was too pedo-coded for me
>>12035638

>>12035829DevilutionX can be a big help but compared strictly to vanilla PC Diablo 1 yeah, I'm liking this a lot more for singleplayer in spite of the cutbacks and godawful save times (that's where states are helping me).
>>12035835Definitely gonna give this a shot next. I've tried to get into D1 on PC many times but it just never clicked, and having to use mods to make the game playable is unacceptable to my autism. This though, I dig the speed, less inttusive HUD and the slightly crispier look. What are playing on, duckstation?
>>12035125Did they add a glow to the gold coins??
>>12035846That's through Retroarch though Duckstation is also good if not better. The big thing for me is the smoother player movement, they move on a smaller grid like in D2 without feeling like it makes much of a gameplay difference. You can enable gamepad support in DevilutionX but it's not the same.>>12035853There's glow on those, torches, and other lightsources such as spell effects. There's a lot of colored lighting too. The downside to all this is having severely reduced enemy frame animations. Not a bad tradeoff especially when you see Tristram: Animated birds, reflection in the water, it's really nice.
Just finished normal with my paladin in diablo 2 classic 1.05b. Put too many points in zeal and he does too many hits per attack, which is annoying. Found a decent rare pike and started charging stuff instead - surprisingly effective.Couldn't for the life of me find a decent 1h weapon. Rares are really, well... rare in this patch. Farming bosses isn't nearly as effective: they only yield rares the first time I kill them.Been doing pretty ok other than that. Guess pally is balanced enough to carry through hell, since he relies on weapon rather than skill damage. Got killed a couple times in CS though, because of iron maiden. Let's see how NM fares.
Does anybody even like these guys?
>>12036079It can be, but games like SF2 and Punch-Out mitigate it by stereotyping every nationality more or less equally.>>12036084Pretty much what I expect as well.
>makoto fag threadi like that people stop including blanka after getting proven wrong in every thread
>>12036130holy schizo, your post is literally the first mention of makoto in this thread. also blanka is cool, that's probably why he's not in a thread about lame characters
>>12036142cry more makoto fag
>>12036142I hate blanka's stupid dumb ass whining about his momma all the time. it was literally cool one time, the first time, in SFIInow he's just a bitch
