ITT: anti-nostalgia
>>683819060Only three games require it and it's bundled with DK64. There's likely only a double-digit number of people who got filtered by this.
None of my friends including myself had one of these.
>insert cartridge>power>black screen>power off>remove cartridge>blow>insert cartridge>power>black screen>power off>remove cartridge>blow, blow, blow>blow console too>insert cartridge>power>play
>>683819281If you owned an n64 and didn't play perfect dark religiously with your buddies you're gay and not my nigga
>>683819779it was blinking screen far more often than black screen you absolute poser
>>683819894I tried but this one faggot always picked up the X-ray rifle and sniped people through walls and floors.
>buy a strategy guide>someone stole the poster
>start ps2 horizontal>get pic related>turn ps2 vertical>get pic related>turn ps2 horizontal again>works>hell yeah, motherfucker
>>683819776>tfw enter all 0s and it works
>>683819694It's funny how much worse things have become since then. Imagine a reviewer giving AAA games a 73% rating and still expecting to get review copies of their future games.
>>683819960anon di you know you could select different weapons to spawn, like automatics and pistols only? now bend over.
>>683820019It was worse back then. In my country, the game's publishers also had the only video game magazine. They never scored anything under 6/10, gave fucking antz racing a 7/10 just to sell more copies.
>>683819060Imagine not having the expansion pak like a brokie.
>>683820128He refused to play with any other setup. Pistols were too boring.
It was a further insult that these were priced as high as a new game.
>>683819960Classic
>>683820019>It's funny how much worse things have become since then.
>>683820085Hahahaha Holy shit
>>683819929>blinking screenI've literally never encountered that
>>683820085
>>6838196143 out of 4 games on the top are platformers.
Had to take risks on keygens for shit like this
>>683819060>thps2 on n64 simply would not fucking save, no matter what>still don't know if i was just retarded or if game/memory pak was brokenEvery time we got to Mexico was a big fucking deal for me and my brother
>>683820408Yes now the only computer-breaking malicious programs I get are straight from Windows updates I can't turn off.
>>683820226>no memory card>unlock the final story in SA2B>sleep>go to school>get back home>mom turned off my gamecube
>>683820649KWAB
>>683820492Imagine fucking up Windows so bad that updates cause problems. Couldn't be me.
>>683820781You literally can't turn it off in Win 10 Home. I have to use powershell to uninstall all that crap weekly and I do it gladly rather than let it onto my computer.
>>683820085Funnily enough, Edge were huge CD-i shills, IIRC.
>>683819060Expansion packs were so easy to acquire back then though
>>683820085I always hated Doom and even I wouldn't give it under 8/10.
>>683820950But the updates don't break anything unless you already compromised Windows with a "debloater" or other poor tool.>>683820876Picrel just now.
>>683821261Like I had a choice. They were literally putting ads on my start menu.
>>683821312It's crazy how bad ball mice were. It's one of the few obsoleted things that doesn't have any contrarians defending it over what replaced it.
>>683820085he's right. rpgs are superior to fps, especially back then. if rpgs were the dominant genre instead of fps slop we would be living on mars by now. instead we got the demiurge manifesting itself as the dorito people
>>683821590Do you not remember the Razer Boomslang? Razer swore up and down that mechanical was the true choice for gamers.
>>683819060Passwords in general, but especially long as fuck ones or picture based ones that you couldn't write so you had to either take a photo or draw them yourself.
>family PC is borderline unusable>parents and siblings blame me for downloading games>it was actually because my dad was downloading porn from suspicious websites
>>683822006hi
>>683822006You now remember copy protection code wheels.
>>683822401The only thing remotely close to this I ever had to use was a game that referenced a specific word on a specific page of an instruction manual that you had to input every time you ran it. I don't remember which game but we had a xerox copy of the instruction manual
>>683819960that's why we never had it in our gamesit's absolute cancer
>>683820085>SMT fan reviews Doom
>>683822401Leisure Suit Larry had a quiz that only adults could answer so we asked my friend's dad but he was too stupid to answer them so we couldn't play it.
>>683819060>>683819281and then there is the reverse filter, after switching for this Silicon Valley didn't work anymore
>>683822581The weirdest I've ever seen is the Leather Goddesses of Phobos, which had a comic included that you HAD to read or part of it was impossible. Picrel was necessary as well as an included map or navigation/survival in the sewers was literally impossible. There was also a panel that mentioned a cipher that was necessary.
>>683819894I played the better Goldeneye instead.
>>683821590i liked to take the ball out and play with it
>>683819779>That one cartridge that only worked if it was tilted a little bitEveryone had one of those
>>683823940You're a retarded person. Perfect Dark is made by the same people and its an upgrade in every conceivable way especially multiplayer.
>>683822306It was a bold idea, but holy fuck
>>683821590The argument against new mice, was that the detection of the laser was slow. Making it less optimal for fast games. I don't know how true that is. But that's what people were saying. That they increase input delay.Also, that they struggled to to detect lighter surfaces. Which is true.
>got Perfect Dark as a birthday present>but I did not have the expansion pak so all I had was like 4 or 6 stages against shitty sims>still had fun with friends>motivated me to find a summer job so I could afford the expansion pak myself, got blown the fuck away when I didThat gave me serious nostalgia, so mission failed.
>>683824783>>683822306Never had a link cable (let alone a spare GBA to link with) so I really appreciated they put in the option.
>>683820226>3rd party MM bricks the systemFuck Sony, glad they got sued for that bullshit they pulled with the ps2
>>683824412Yet more people have a soft spot for Goldeneye instead. Funny that.
>>683819060You retards don't understand how often you saw this screen. It was a near daily occurrence.
>>683827548>bricks the system>Sony got suedwoah what the fuck? seriously?
>>683827894It happened to mine and that's what the Sony rep told me.Sony got sued for that disc read error crap PS2 were plagued by.
>>683822306Shorter password with 6 pages of possible characters or a wall-of-text password?
>>683827894The disc drives on the early models would go to hell (the voltage to the laser emitter would change on its own) and Snoy lost a fuckheug class action lawsuit. They had to fix any PS2 you reported & mailed in. I even did it myself. The fuckers sent it back with the expansion bay cover missing. I'll never forgive them.
>>683827868Maybe if your computer was shit. I almost never saw it.
>>683820649Made me think of this
>>683822306>when you entered it and it failedaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>683819614let shoot me something
>>683827868everyone saw this a ton of times, didn't matter which puter you had
>>683830009roland soundcards were SOVL
>>683819614>>683829792popular now, now:>We need to destroy the Nazis because... blah blah... Love is love... blah blah... We should respect everyone's right to choose their pronouns... blah blah... Come, walk with me... blah blah>please, let me shoot something
>>683819060Lmao anti-nostslgia? What? You didn't but dk64 after playing it in a toys r us in a giant colorful display of n64s on a wall of tvs, like me? Of which then you got to enjoy majoras mask? What a great fucking part of my childhood this expansion pack was. So fucking sick too. Made my n64 look badass.
Remember when saving the game was a luxury, not a given?
>>683819535I'm 100% sure these were never sold in my country. The only kid that had these cables bought it in another country.
>>683820950Set your connection to a metered connection and refuse all updates when on a metered connection.Or just use a debloater tool.
>>683820117>tfw screwing it in for ten minutes straight because it won't hook on to the threadsJUST
>>683831176Pain.
>>683831426Better have a tap set son or else you’re FUCKEDI don’t even know if those would be tappable.
>>683819614>Platformer that lets you shoot something>Platformer>JRPG>Open-World Platformer that Lets you Shoot somethingWOW, I CAN BOIL THINGS DOWN TO RETARDED POINTS TOO!
>>683831634jesus christ
>>683820323>bottom comment perfectly describes how denuvo would ruin online games in the futureFunny how the past isn't as different from today as we think.
>>683831897PALbros getting fucked with 50hz for all of their games will never not make me laugh
>>683831004If this works, you're my hero.
>>683819060Didn't this shit make the n64 run worse than it already did?
>>683829323
>>683829323 I did this before, except it was either an ex gf's ps2 and kingdom hearts 2
>>683831772>JRPGWhich lets you shoot something. Lucca has a gun, Marle a bow.
>>683831897Hueland use PAL M tho, best of both worlds.
>>683831984For some games yes, it made them run worse but with slightly better graphics.There's even one game (Space Station Silicon Valley) that will crash if you use it.
>>683827767Golden eye has a better artstyle.
>>683819281I got a N64 and Majora's Mask for my birthday and was really sad I couldn't play :(
>>683819060I was a retarded kid and I literally called Nintendo support because I couldn't figure out how to put this thing in. I was trying to shove it into the back of the controller...
>>683832257So run shit badly with bad graphics or improve the bad graphics slightly and go 12-15fps to 8-10fps......
>>683821883>press A to win>occasionally drink health potion
>>683819060i always thought the red sushi in the lickitung minigame were suppose to be expansion paks
>>683819779>insert cartridge>power on>past the title screen and in-game playing within 3 seconds because the industry had yet to get so bloated that every game requires 20 minutes of logos before the title screen Not being a poor in the 80's/90's truly was peak
>>683823643That bitch was one of my early jerks
>>683831634sovl overload
>>683829276Everyone's computer was shit because a new computer cost a fortune back then. Nobody had cutting edge computers in their house they were all 5-10 year old workstations.
>>683819060>try to use gamecube link cable and nintendo DS GBA slot to unlock shit in games>find out the publishers took that feature out in the european versionsthanks natsume
>>683819535For some reason it was easier to just have the third party ones that already go four ways even though it was hardly ever used for more than two
>>683820260The debute of 3d games mind broke some people. Imagine comparing SOTN negitively to Croc
>>683822306Weren't these just encoded saves? I remember typing random junk as a kid in some games and getting strange setups.
I used to play Gameboy on road trips and I dreaded having to use this shitty adapter after the sun fell.
>>683819535>friend brings a wireless adapter instead of a link cable to the birthday partySeriously who actually had one of these fucking things?
>>683834929Anyone who bought FireRed or LeafGreen so...most GBA owners?
>>683819614Nostalgia for shooters. Let me shoot something was replaced with 3rd person walking simulators. "Let jews mollest kids". Platformers and grindans were shit and none of those depicted were popular at any point. All shit. "Let japs stupefy kids". Shooting muslims was peak humanity.
>>683835349I think my brother and I joined the union room or whatever while playing outside and actually found another person. We never knew who it was
>>683831978It wasn't a problem.
>>683822306Everytime I see this I am so thankful that I had a sister with her own GBA, So I could just use the link cable data transfer option ,because this seems like a nightmare
>>683819894>>683819281combat simulator works without the expansion pak
>>683831897>import special edition console from Japan>TV out just works>power plug just worksFelt good to be a NTSC chad.
>>683820085Japs read this review and made Strange Journey.
>>683835317>he didn't get some shit SD card adapter that increased the storage to 128gbmemory cards were the PSP's greatest strength
>anon! your games are giving the computer viruses!Not much of an exaggeration when a game had this shit in it
>>683831981Just a heads up, you've got to do this for every network you connect to, otherwise it'll sneak in some downloads while you're at someone else's house.
>>683834702I had one of these for the original game boy (and later my gbc). Ate the batteries like nobody's business.>>683834929Came with the Gen 1 Pokemon remakes, so anybody that had those games. The list of games that actually work with the thing is fairly short, since it's not backwards compatible.
>Gameboy link cable doesn't work with the GBA>mom got me a 3rd party link that had a switch to allow it to do both>I was the cool kid on the block allowing everyone the ability to trade and battle their mons
>>683832401this reminds me of when I got a ps2 and devil may cry for christmas but no memory card lol
>>683819996I never knew anyone who had this problem.
>>683819993>strategy guideYou didn't beat the game
>>683836805I will play that!
>>683820323Now people are saying the same about Epic Games Storehmmmmm
>>683820226I bought an Xbox huge over a PS2 simply over my hatred of those fuckers.
