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
I just can't seem to find console games, and even most arcade games, that were before the NES era any fun.
>>12319169That's because you're a stupid person. It's okay, there's a lot of stupid people.>>12319175Uh, dude, most people don't find the NES enjoyable if we're going to be speaking about "modern day" trends.
>>12319272Castlevania 3 is the only one even worth discussing and it still has horrible controls (cannot change direction while jumping), knockback and highly questionable level design
>>12319284>if we're going to be speaking about "modern day" trends.Even when excluding modern gamers who only play Fortnite, Minecraft and the latest AAA slop, the statement still holds true.
i agree about console games but arcades are fine. i grew up playing a bit of 2600 and colecovision and really the only game from that era that feels more "complete" would be something like montezuma's revenge. but i really have no desire to play those games again.
>>12319291>Ahhh there is consequence to my actions i need to be carefull and the game is not piss easy!!!
Don't be like me and plug in a Super Famicom AC adapter into a model 1 Mega CD.
>>12318320That depends on what's involved in that learning. It's possible you could spend hundreds of hours watching youtubes and hundreds of dollars on the tools they shill and still be incapable of doing simple repairs.
>>12317617Somebody set up us the bomb.
>>12318552>A basic soldering gun is $5Is buying a more premium one worth it for a beginner?
>>12319132Just get a pinecil my man and lead this solderpinecils are vey comfortable to use, you can set the heat temp on it, uses USB-C or barrel jack. you will need a strong enough power adapter though. You dont need much more than that.If you ever buy a DE-SOLDERing gun though you probably want to buy the premium expensive brand though, I bought a chinese one and it kind of sucks
>>12319391Also remember when working on vintage sega stuff, they used cheap PCB manufacturing or something so its VERY easy to lift metal pads when desoldering stuff on them. Only ever have a problem with sega shit.

>>12316949AAAAAAAAAAalso second pick would be kleers
>>12319301Tell us more, friend. I never play D2TWID past the map 7 because that is also quite the chore.>>12319060QBJ 1 and 2 had exactly 1 map each I skipped.Both were Mazu maps.Now that I've been around the blockand played his work in Dwell, I'm willing to engage with it but I know I sure as hell won't replay these.
>>12319372>Tell us more, friend.Map where you (Or at least I can) get lost far too easily. I think D2TWiD also had that one godawful "Hell" map. Otherwise I like the map pack since it's 'vanilla'.

>the dark gritty spinoff is the only good game in the seriesHow does that happen?
>>12318469I never heard anyone complain about Shadow's gameplay just its tone. Is it a bad game?
>>12318469>still gets talked about to this dayShadow WON
>>12318312Not in Army Men's case, that one sucked and playing it you can check how unfinished it feels (3DO's death and shit). Sarge Heroes played a bit better.
There is nothing good about this game, it was genuinely terrible just like all other army men games. The only "good' one is RTS
>>12319248Some of the Air Attack games are fun.
Which franchise is sillier, Resident Evil or Metal Gear?
>>12317503https://youtu.be/y897tozJeg8
>>12317513overreliance on poly count inflation magically solving everything.
>>12317513The prettyboy era was a modern 2000s phenom.
>>12317503Metal Gear without a doubt.Resident Evil without the silliness is still Resident Evil, there's not a whole lot of boulder punching moments where the silliness is integral to the plot.Metal Gear on the other hand is built entirely on that shit. Half the characters are just a joke, and a lot of the important story moments are inherently silly including major plot points.
>>12319385Remember when the anime nerd revealed that he fucked his step mom, made his dad kill himself, and then admitted he wanted fuck his step sister as well and that he'd probalbly been jerking off to her since she was barely a teenager?
Is XBOX the comfiest console ever made?
>>12317849Modern wouldn't be a bad idea
>>12317606To me it's anti-comfy. I see Xbox as the console i boot up when i want to play a fuckhard action game like NGB or Dead to Rights.
It's definitely one of the coolest. I want to get one
I’ve never heard a single person talk about this game
>>12317704What the fuck?
video game genres are all bullshit. I'm sure you already knew that, how many times have you seen a game advertised as "adventure" or "action", fucking useless. this game is evidence that even very specific genres like "shoot-em-ups" are actually a hodgepodge of different types of games. the problem is that genres are defined by some surface level aspect, such as "an autoscroller where you control a character and shoot waves of enemies", not ever considering the core intentions of the game design, which could be "memorizing patterns, shooting and dodging in a 2d plane" or "idk watching all the explosions while wildly flailing around and then you get to buy some wacky new gun with the money you collected"this game has more in common with those old "desktop destroyer" stress relief "games" than with other "shmups"
>>12318513There's lots! somewhere...
>>12318586Haha! I do the other thing!
>>12319012well if according to shmup lifestylers games mentioned by >>12318375 >>12318404 have anything to do with tyrian they might genuinely believe this is the case
>>12318495>>12318513>>12318548>>12318586You refuse to play Drainus, Ginga Force, and Natsuki Chronicles because you're lying and you don't actually want what you calim to want
>>12318513>it's a shame that accessibility is so hatedYou're a fucking liar, you're a fucking retardniggerfaggot liar, you REFUSE to play compile games which are so easy that a 5 year old could beat them, you REFUSE to try out the normal/easy modes of any Touhou game which shower you with bombs and lives, you REFUSE to try out novice modes in CAVE games, you REFUSE to try out novice/arrange mode in Crimzon Clover, you REFUSE to try out a super easy game like Batsugun Special, you REFUSE to try out a forgiving game like Cho Ren Sha which gives you shields like candy just like Tyrian, because YOU ARE A LIAR.
CHOOSE YOUR CHARACTER*late 90s dnb-inspired beat starts playing*
>>12315860Depends on how tryhard I want to be and how good is my opponent, in order of most to least tryhard:>Mario, amazing combo potential>Kirby, same as Mario>Link, projectile spam>Samus, killer spike in aerial Down + A>Ness, absorb arwing shots and deflect with the bat>DK, landing the punch and suicidal grabs are very fun>Luigi, trying to get the fiery Up + B whenever I can>Yoshi, egg people out of the stage>Jigglypuff, landing Up +B and Down + B was humilliatingI never played Fox, Captain Falcon or Pikachu, because they felt too OP and thus unfun to play.
>>12318563I don't have to, surrounded
>>12318579in my friend group we always had set characters. I was always Fox who was actually very hard to master but the reflect ability was unmatched back then. One dude was always Samus and one dude always Kirby. Kirby was the most OP
>>12316715Give him a break, at least he doesn't call stock icons "mans">>12317017But what does that have to do with Smash's core? Melee was built to outdo 64 even on the most integral parts, such as it's single player and unique multiplayer modes.or were actually were talking about the competive side of thing, it's no sweat if you prefer 64's grounded approach, but just saying.
>>12319371>But what does that have to do with Smash's core?Is this a serious question? It's the same gameplay that you engage in across all modes, whether single player or multiplayer. This is like asking what the handling of cars in a racing game has to do with the core of that racing game. I'm literally talking about how the game feels to play.

ITT: official romhacks
>>12317984This and Adventure Island / Wonder Boy
>>12317984Tasteful
>>12317648Been meaning to try this one out, especially since I'm familiar with some of the celebrities there
>>12318532It's alright.
>>12314778I guess that makes Oracle of Ages and Seasons is also a really good romhack.
Let's have a thread for non-game music that sounds like it came straight from some retro game (if that's allowed). https://youtu.be/D9CEpxQq0ls?si=b35650YzlLCUxrOL —sounds exactly like Earthboundhttps://youtu.be/ELJTT8AUPTk?si=IbYLHl0l7bpPnb0z —Konami shmup core
YMO are no doubt highly influential and were blatantly ripped off at times but stop acting like they invented video game music and that EVERY SINGLE FUCKING VIDEO GAME COMPOSER listened to nothing but them.It's really tiresome and disingenuous.
>>12316727see my post >>12311281
>>12317798I read your post at least
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDUh5UY4LJI
>>12317798I saw your post, it's shit.
What are your favorite ones, anons?
i'm a pussy that cant sand heat or humidity, i hate beach levels. give me snow.
>>12317965best I can do is sleet
c'mon
I just saw Rental Family and they play with a Dreamcast in a few scenes. Just found it funny. Anyway, discuss /vr/ related appearances in other media.
>have owned radiant silvergun for years>beat it once years ago but never played for score>decide to actually play it again and learn the game proper>I keep sucking, decide to check out some japanese superplayer, not to copymonkey but to just glance at how good players engage>you can actually use the blade weapon in all directions if you hold the R button and move around, causing tons of damage and also serving as a shield at the same timeI had no idea, this deepens the gameplay a lot.Treasure, I kneel.
>>12317790I see, are other shmups like this also? Or is it a treasure thing?
>>12318198Shut up.
Splinter living sucks.
>>12318575Not that anon, but a number of shmups, or many a console port I've played, don't register a score after a continue. Some are nice enough to save the highest score you reached before continuing.
>>12313809This game's incredible. Ultra-difficult though. Even with rewind, I got a game over!
