is spending 200$ (minimum) on a decent set of Magnetically shielded speakers + an amp worth it? I mean I personally think the built-in speakers sound fine but I know the PS1 has especially high quality sound. Is it worth it anons?

That depends on what you're wanting out of the setup. There are a lot of solutions at all sorts of price brackets. However, magnetic shielding has been getting less common these days.

These were the first results on Amazon that mentioned CRT screens, so I saved up a couple years worth of Microsoft Points and I finally got them on a holiday sale knocking the price down to under $100USD. They are self-powered, so they don't require an amp. Unlike the ones I do that require an amp being comically large by comparison to the CRT, these are a fine size. However, I still have to save up for the matching subwoofer, which may take a couple more years of Microsoft Rewards grinding and more Doordash/Uber Eats work, but I get a lot of joy not only having the games look as good as I remember but sounding even better.

it’s just old videogames, man. if you put good headphones on you’d realize how cheese the sound card is. why presume you’ll need $200 for that, but why *do* you need $200 worth of speaker audio for a kid’s game. also why would you spend that protecting speaker when you could get good headphones that would be compatible with all systems regardless of the tv set. a little adapter will let you connect your audio cables to headphones

>we got shitty and unnecessary baby pokemon like Magby, Igglybuff, Cleffa, etc instead ofnt of these great designs
What the fuck were they thinking? You don't even use any of those shitty baby pokemons in any game, not just gen 2 but neither gen 3 or anything beyond it.

>igglybuff
>literally jugglypuffs are handed to you at level 4 at the geodude route when you start the game in gen 2
>jigglypuffs appear midgame so a igglypuff at the early game would have been acceptable but no, better make it useless dex filler.

>Magby
>if you somehow get it with the daycare egg it's a waste because 30 minutes later you get Magmars for free in the burned tower unlike Elekid and Smoochum that at least appear later in game and you could justify them

>Cleffa and Pichu are completely inaccessible in gen 2 and gen 3 until you catch their evolved forms, defeating any purpose to ever use them.

It's like they didn't want us to use the shitty baby Pokémon at all, they are not just unobtainable or pointless but they are hindered by the retarded friendship mechanic too which makes just catching their evolved forms more reasonable.

December is almost over. What are some retro games that January reminds you of?
>>
>>12274962
My answer for this will always be Mega Man X. I remember distinctly renting it in Jan 1994, right around its release and choosing Chill Penguin as my first Maverick as I knew his level would be snowy and bleak like it was outside my house.
I was completely blown away by the game. 1994 was a great year for the SNES and it starts off with one of the best games on the system. So yeah I always associate it with that year as well as the time of the year I first played it.
>>
>>12274968
MMX is one of my all time faves too and while I can't remember exactly when we got it I remember it was very early so probably the same month. I grew up in Florida so snow was just this rare thing I got to experience when we visited family up north but I actually always liked snow levels for that reason, they were like this special thing to me, a psychological respite from the heat, and I remember picking Chill Penguin first.
>>
>>12274993
I think most people pick Chill Penguin first as it’s where you get the dash. Plus the NP guide recommends it.

Did you know Burning Rangers was the proto-PSO? It was gonna be 4-player online. I dunno what SEGA was thinking trying to make that happen on the Saturn.

>>12274632
Sega already had an online multiplayer RPG on the Saturn called Dragon's Dream

That's what it means to be the best handheld ever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ , with full native playback of 3 out of 4 Nintendo handheld generations and enough power to emulate the other one with complete accuracy. Even a stereoscopic 3D Virtual Boy emulator. And, oh, if you're a SEGA fan, you can't even imagine what M2 did in its Fukkoku Archives series.

I don't. The system never really clicked with me. I probably played more Donkey Kong than anything else on the system (on whatever the more-common, less-good screen model is. 001?)

Planet Harriers is finally 100% playable via Demul, have you tried it yet?

Virtual ON 4 looks absolutely stunning. We really missed out.
Chapeau to Demul's developers. I remember that emulator being written in C, but I had no idea they had been working behind the scenes all those years. I want to know why they haven't release anything yet, perhaps they are so passionate that they are waiting to publish a polished, idiot-proof version... or keep it for their own scene, who knows.

>sim-lite genre
I like this name. Delta Force games were realistic enough for an average player to get into, while not being a cowadooty crap with regenerating health and B-B-B-BLOODY SCREEN. But they could have nerfed the M4 because it's so OP, rendering other weapons useless most of the times, maybe sometimes you'd need the M40 and M82 for sniper missions, but most of the times M4 does everything:
>decent range
>burst fire mode for engaging moving targets
>scope
>underbarrel grenade launcher/shotgun
