the Commodore 64 is well loved and rightly so, but its essential sidekick the 1541 disk drive barely gets a mention, and its a critical part of the C64s history.
this thread is about the devices for your /vr/ machine that don't get enough attention.
what's your favorite /vr/?

How do we feel about remastering retro games with mods?

I never played WWHD so I wouldn't know how shit it is. Calling game updates "reddit" is retarded though.
>>
>>11248956
Most of the time its a better alternative to playing an official remaster/remake, since those are usually just dumping the game into a new engine version which creates a lot of new bugs that they dont do QA for, and adding a few out of place graphical effects that do not look good with the original artwork. Incorrect lighting, anti-soul gas, politically correct censorship, new content that doesn't make sense contextually etc.

Yeah nah installing a couple of mods that you like is a better idea.

What I mean is, the game in their head is valued more than the actual game that's on your computer. That's how you get stuff like Fallout The Frontier.

picrel was at dave and buster's. you aimed your token by moving the coin slot. on this particular unit, holding it all the way to the left or right gave you the max number of tickets each time. i did this until i had enough tickets to get a spiderman ps2 game (this was the only arcade i ever went to that actually had awesome prizes). the next day i took it to target and asked to swap it out for a different game. i didnt have a receipt obviously, but the clerk obliged because it was still shrink wrapped and i wasnt asking for a cash refund. so i got mortal kombat deadly alliance instead.

>>11251774
I have very vague memories of this, but some cereal company was running an online contest to win free PS2 games back in 2002 and some guy on the IGN Boards found a way to exploit whatever system they were using and posted it for everyone and I ended up "winning" six or seven free copies of Hot Shots Golf 3. I was too young and dumb to pull off a return scam at 13 years old so I think I took all of them to EB Games and they gave me whatever the trade in value was for used copies.

Just beat this and it was pretty good. Reasonable difficulty curve, too bad about the enemy throwing being so useless though. What are some other decent run n guns outside of the Contra-Treasure-Metal Slug trinity?

Its so modded its practically a new game in it's own right, and has several new abilities for every class, so there is much much more build verity.
Its hands down one of my favorite community mods for any game, and it's online is surprisingly really active. Although maybe not at this exact moment since it's towards the tail end of the current ladder, next ladder and patch are probably about a month away.

Princess Maker 1 (Refine) is pretty bad and will feel like a prototype if you have already played 2, but you can take a look at it if you like the series. You can also beat up the daughter and send her to work on an actual brothel.

Hello. I've recently played Tunic and La-Mulana and both gave me newfound nostalgia and appreciation for old school game manuals and how they can integral part of the gameplay experience with useful clues and charming art. LM1 especially made me want to check out more of the old school cryptic proto-metroidvanias that influenced it so I picked up a bunch of those as they can seem intimidating with non-explained features. I thought it would be a good idea to obtain and read the manuals before playing them. And they looked cool so just wanted to share a few of them here.

Do you have any meaningful memories of game manuals? What are your favorites? Or most useful ones? Maps also welcome.

How? All you have to do is bring a flower to the grave to get the sword and the shop is available to you in the very first starting area of the game.
Also it's fairly cheap to buy the starting weapons but if you don't want to bother doing that wait a bit longer and most weapons will drop from enemies or be given to you a bit later in the game as treasure.
You can also upgrade your weapon and gear which not only makes the weapon stronger but often unlocks new skills.
Just use the game menu access useful info.
