Images that make you feel video game related nostalgia
>>735888005downloaded the roms for me and my brother when we were kids
>>735888509I remember waiting in line for a reservation for a Wii back in 2006, outside a Toys R Us. Shit was so much fun, hanging out and chatting with other nerds while playing games on my DS and eating packed snacks. Did it again on launch day just for fun, even though I already had a reservation.

>>735888005>Go ahead and pick out a game, anon.
>>735888005Fake and gay.no$gba didn't even work properly until 2013.
>>735889635It might be visualboyWorked on my machine back in the day
>>735889635>2013no fucking way, i clearly remember playing pokemon mystery dungeon in like 2010
>>735888005This image will make a tendie fume with rage
>>735889635i was using it in the 90sgit gud scrub
>>735890010Man, am I glad we moved past CRTs. It's the one thing from the old days that I don't miss.
>>735889635>>735889701visualboy isn't the standard anymore?
>>735890048>gba>"90s"Go back to tiktok zoomzoom
>>735889635>no$gbaNo, that's VisualBoyAdvance in the picture. And I remember it working really well even back in 2004 so that picture is real.
>>735888005I got really into picking up CRT monitors for a few years and have set myself up for life. Absolutely kino displays.Loads of modern games still support 4:3, and the ones that don't - like Marathon - aren't worth playing. Been enjoying Battlefront 2 on Kyber and it looks fucking incredible on a 19" CRT monitor.
>>735890332nta most people use mgba now
>>735890010I miss playing around with the display controls until I got that perfect fit along the borders
>>735888605a guy in my 7th grade class had this, it was fucking shit
>>735891056all hail the pharaoh
>>735890332>Very Bad Amulator in current year + 11
>>735891157idk have been using it since like 2006
>>735891157>Let me guess, you need more
>>735891298When there are better emulators that are not abandonware and probably weight less? Yes.
>>735889635VBA worked when I was in like 8th grade back in like 2005
That period of 4-5 years where we just kept getting new Star Wars vidya thanks to the prequels.
>>735888605thats bullshit but i believe it
>>735891056>The McMansionkek
Was there no way to connect a Meleecube with the GBA adapter to a CTR monitor? Just because the kids are touching a keyboard doesn't mean shit for what might just be a funny pre/early emulator photo.
>>735890332Mgba is the standard now.Now I'm curious about DS scene. Is it melonds now?
>>735889635VBA worked in the mid 2000's bro
>>735891947I think so. Haven't used it in a while but did have constant updates when I checked not very long ago.I remember the only issue I had was shitty randomization back then when playing DQ9 and always getting the same seed.
>>735892051VBA never worked. It was always a poor emulator.
>>735892097Maybe for autists who get triggered over the opacity of an effect not displaying right on screen. For everyone else it was perfectly fine
>>735890010>no starcraft
>muh nostalgia is just children's consumerismi pity uncs
>>735892298>emulation>consumerismGo kneel before you're favourite gacha vtumor zoomie/alphie.
>sharing crude GameBoy Color emulator and first two gen Pokemon find with friends at school, on floppy drives>discussions about strategy and progress or side content since no internet means we only had ourselves (and no, it was not US so no paper guides and such)It didn't matter that it was ultimately all simple and such, it was really fun. I miss atmosphere of those times, not exactly times themselves (when single PC was a treasure as it would cost more than few months wages).>>735892298You had to be there, you faggot.
>>735888005For a second I thought this is a picture of myself I've never seen.Right in the feels man, I used to emulate Ruby with a friend and play for days.
>nostalgia thread>it's all pre 2004 bullshitthere's nothing more sad than a bunch of old fat losers still being here holy shit
>>735888605
>>735889490>why don't we have comfy rental stores like le blockbuster any le more?fuck off blockbuster was already soulless shit compared to the actual comfy movie/game stores they pushed out of the market
>>735894635based lesotho
>>735888005How did they do it bros?Did the aliens help?
>>735890212I love them but I hate how cumbersome they are.
>>735892298>i pity uncsI dunno why this ended up being the current atmosphere, but I pity pretty much everyone at this point. We've waltzed into a horrible situation and idk how we're going to get out.
first time playing nesticle and ZSNES blew my mind
>>735894635How the fuck does this no longer happen? Considering how much larger install bases are nowadays.
>>735894979>idk how we're going to get outnot you're problem bottom feeder :^)
>>735891056how did you get my save file?
>>735888605I emulated the Elder Scrolls games that were on this when I was huge into Morrowind before Oblivion released and they were surprisingly not garbage after remapping the controls.
>>735889490As much as I enjoyed renting games from the local Movie Gallery and Family Video growing up, having nostalgia for corposlop is pretty cringe and gay honestly.
>>735894942Agreed but I do miss my CRT I had about ten years ago with the vhs and dvd player built in. It was a bitch hauling upstairs but I didn’t need a million things plugged in for my physical media. Fuck bed bugs and slumlords tho there was no way I was risking taking it out of the shithole I lived in at the time.
I feel like I'm nostalgia immune. I've tried to feel it but I never do. Whenever I've gone back to play old stuff I used to love it never holds up.
>>735895607age?
>>735888005This gets me every time.
>>735889635>zoomer yet again pretends to know things he didn't live through
i saw someone randomly post pic rel on /tv/ one time and it looks so much like me, my brother and my childhood friend that i had a miniature crisis for like two days about it. we even had a very similar TV that we played NES, SNES and finally N64 on. seriously, looking at it still gives me a weird, powerful feeling
>>73589573830s. I tried to go back and play the games I loved as a kid and teen like chromehounds, runescape, pokemon gold and emerald, yoshi's island, supreme commander, command and conquer 3, command and conquer generals, halo 1, 2 and 3, modern warfare 1, bioshock, crackdown, bloodrayne so on and so forth. None of them felt good. I had no love for any of them.
>>735896270A lot of them feel janky. I dont really get nostalgia fags. The earliest i can go back is PS2. Anything before that is jank
>>735896270Some might call you a faggot but I wholeheartely agree.
>>735888605Big if true
>>735896270That probably means it wasn't the games you were nostalgic for
>>735890403I always found it funny how Sega was talking mad shit at Nintendo and crashed and burned in the end
>>735896461>No, I didn't finish a 3 hours long game.
>>735896861My point is that I've never felt nostalgic despite trying many times to feel it. One of my buddies is a massive nostalgia fiend with nintendo and I just can't get it.
>>735895025Too many games dilluted the player populations. Also just the death of the industry with the rise of gacha because its easier to swindle retards out of their money by having them gamble for pngs.
>>735897038You get it when you pine for better times, which most people revisit through consuming old media. If that's not something you experience, you're unable to understand it. You're either so mentally healthy that you moved on easily, or so mentally unhealthy that you exist in a general state of apathy.

>>735897234Well I'm definitely not apathetic. Whenever I try old games I used to love I just remember everything about it. I've done it before. Why do it again, you know?
>>735895413It's never about the company, Anonymous.
>>735896197i just had that experience now. same tv and everything
this mouse
>>735888005what's truly nostalgic about this picture is the normal hairstyles those kids have
why isn't shit cool anymore
>>735897939Where do you live where short hair isn't a thing. Getting buzzcuts but leaving on half an inch is like the most popular cut ever
>>735890010>Slave ZeroS tier
remember when everyone over 50 had this type of furniture? is there a name for this style
>>735898035that is also a shit style
I remember being a little disappointed about Wario was wearing his biker outfit in brawl, but was relieved that not only will he has his classic outfit but both will have their own color pallets
>>735895025Fortnite tops a million players somewhat regularly during live events, but no one talks about it out of shame.
>>735898679That poor 360.
>>735894635why do mexicans love halo so much?

>>735891056>why yes that is my home in the distance>you'll love it, the first floor is a grand entrance leading to the largest chair the game has to offer, i hold court there

>>735900157>>735903441best memories i had with vanilla were playing my dwarf hunter on winter mornings... i wish i could feel like that again
>>735889635I'm pretty sure that's visualboyadvance, though. Nobody actually used nocash unless they needed a debugger.

>>735888005The games were better, but I hated my childhood.
>>735890891I was just thinking about that circus tent thingy in the uppermost left the other day.
WE WALK THE STREETS AT NIGHT
>>735903645I keked, thanks anon Just think, you were probably born because your dad was a gooner...
>>735891056how does the inside look like?
>>735892434>that controller . . .
>>735888005Is that graal?
>>735888605I do this and look like this (goatse)
>>735888005Nice pic.I emulated gen 1 and 2 but my dad bought me a GBA when gen 3 came out.
I vividly remember playing Age of Empires 2 on a computer like this at a neighbors house around age 5 and being mind blown by the graphics kek.
>>735906398Imagine how radioactive this entire place is
>>735888005there's nothing sadder than nostalgia
>>735906837It's the most beautiful kind of pain
>>735896270Did you ever go back and replay Pokemon Snap? I did that a few years ago and had a blast™.
>>735906398Imagine the power bill.
>>735905239>sniper spots behind signs had walls that were invisible, people would try to shoot you and give away their position letting you react>tons of great LOS around the edges of the map>run in the main structure as scout and blast anyone>projectile classes like demo and soil-dur made highly irrelevant because of the large open areas>funny contemporary memes and anime>cool things to find like the skybox area and the floating platform that you could make sentry nests in>rtv let you get up higher than otherwise possible for cool sniping spots like on top of the corner trianglesthe secret porn room in the one cubespent many many hours on this map and its variants on both 100% crit and normal servers, tons and tons of fun, its a shame none of them are alive anymore and the only thing alive is skial 2fort or other equivalent dogshit
>>735906497Same here, Gen 1 and 2. Very few people here had an actual Gameboy for some reason, and when the TV show exploded in popularity I sort of became the go-to neighborhood Pokemon person and had to go around installing and setting up NO$GMB or whatever emu it was on everyone's PC.I actually played through a good portion of Gold/Silver in Japanese because the translation hadn't been released yet. Couldn't understand anything, but you started to recognize and figure out the glyphs in the menus eventually.
>>735898098I see this room and I think of a woman, trapped in a tiny recess under the floor. Why is that?
>>735908352please be normal for once
>>735897189That little girl is probably a mom by now.Damn.
>>735888605Not true, unless Nokia was designing other phones with the same design theory. Also I've used it and they're that way so you can dial with it up to your ear with practice.
>>735900157I didn't understand the idea of the run, hauled my ass down the western side of EK for three hours on my level 16 druid. Found Newman's Landing and just chilled watching newbies spawn in. It's an eery feeling to be so alone like that in a game that was so populated at the time. The endless ocean on one side and imposing, unclimbable mountains on the other. I still feel nostalgic for that feeling. That eery unreality of game areas you're never meant to see.
>>735897189Wow, look a the top-center of that image, what is that?!
>>735890365Man, I backed-up so many spindles of CD-Rs. Games, movies, autistically-organized anime shows. Never had use for more than a fraction of them.
>>735906398i wish the us goverment would find a way to implement gamer pc nerds just put us all in a bog warehouse and order us to do anything from make propaganda to massive shill campaigns, we could live right at our desks
>>735908427Never mind, I figured it out. Reminded me of HoG
>>735906398>>735906195Whats the point of these big meetups
>>735908832Aren't there some three-letter agencies you can apply to for that?
>>735909125Have fun playing multiplayer games, stay up all night until you were a zombie, hang out, eat chips, drink cola, and pirate as much as you could. I was never at any of the massive ones, but a couple that were maybe around 30 or so.
>>735888005honestly I don't think I miss anything from that era>pirating games at 100 kb/s>burning on 3 cds>pc that doesn't instantly turn oneverything was clunkier and slower
I can hear this picture
>>735888805I was a kid of very specific circumstancesI was in foster care and my foster parents were part time Pornographers of the Child variety, and in my mind I got to go to Walmart and pick out a GBA SP for free, reality was that I had to pose for a bunch of pictures first.You'd be surprised how much of that shit went over my head till therapy.Anyways, the GBA is all I had till the DSi came out, so needless to say I'm VERY nostalgic for the GBA.Weird to think about how brief it's relevance really was.
>>735909071This is so familiar...

>sleeping over at friend's house>load up halo 1 split screen>his brother in the corner playing FFXI>load up disturbed on yahoo musicyep it's gaming time
>>735910397That's probably the most fucked-up thing I've read from an anon in all my 15+ years here, hope you're doing alright.I never had a real GBA but emulated a lot of the titles, so I have a particular fondness for it too. It was a lot like the SNES I suppose. Nicer graphics than the old GameBoys, but still simple and comfy, before all the gimmicks of the DS.
Not an image, but song (heavily used for nostalgia bait that I fall for), sorry.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP3rDP02lE0Ps2 and 360 era
>>735888805>nostalgic about ripoffs of SNES games with worse graphics and audioYour childhood sucked.
>>735913346>360 eraNiceI have been appreciating this lately myself
>>735889490Blockbuster sucked and had an atrocious selection of games.>>735890332No, and you might be interested to know that Nesticle is no longer the standard of NES emulators either.
>>735890212Yeah man. I'm so glad we now have screens that are riddled with motion blur and the lifespan is 12 months at max and then you have to buy a new one.
>>735913636say thanks shitman..NOW
>>735913560Nice, what are your favourites on it?
>>735888005Feels bad, man.
>>735895007My first time playing Nesticle i was shocked at how bad NES games looked on a PC monitor and it immediately began a decade + long quest to get emulators running through a 15khz TV.

>360 era is now nostalgiaUnc is feeling old
>>735903645I saw my dads browsing historyIt's pretty vanilla + lesbian pornI'm so glad it isn't something extreme
>>735910397That really hurts, I hope you're okay now.I remember playing Tales of Phantasia and Donkey Kong Country a bunch with since they were the only two cartridges I had.My parents sold my GBA years ago while I was away and I'm still mad at them.
>>735916197The thing about nostalgia and time is that you are never prepared to feel the feeling of how old you are, ever.You have no frame of reference for what "20 years ago" truly feels like until one day you doand it's a scary feelingand right when you get used to it you start realizing it was actually 30 years ago
>>735905492I AIN'T NO GODDAMNED SON OF A BITCH!!!!!
>>735898013I miss old CS>>735898098Kitsch
>>735913127How? All the time there is some guy who talks about getting molested or worse, unprompted mind you.
All I ever wanted was a modern version of this game with the same white hat hacker aesthetics
>>735888605I had this. It was the best phone I've ever had.
>>735917620
Crazy to think that these are the games we will be nostalgic about 10-15 years from now. There's someone out there who played these as one of their first games and it blew their minds.
>>735918096and they all suck too lol
>>735918192same i hate vidya XD
>>735895025Bro, your Counter Strike?
>>735889635is this bait?
bring me back
>>735895963is that some motherfucking Total Annihilation? man, it was so ahead of Starcraft it's absurd
>>735917820Guess I've just been lucky to not have encountered it. I've seen people recount incestuous stories between siblings and cousins experimenting and some such, but nothing on that level of clear abuse.
>>735918096I've been playing since I got my Amiga 500 in 1992 and there's a game in your pic I already think as fondly about as I do about Another World, which I played for the first time in the same year and which to this day is one of my favourite games.
I never felt safe as a kid
>>735918096There's some great stuff on that list.
>>735918432i never feel safe as an adult
>>735901741You used to be able to throw your consoles in whatever shit conditions and have it work.
>>735918563
>>735918096I'm playing Indy Jones right now and it's not particularly good. Incredibly simplistic stealth and combat with low stakes. Granted I don't think the old action games like Infernal Machine were all that great either, and I still have some nostalgia for those.
>>735918096E33, DS2, DKB, Hades 2, Silksong, and KHC2 will hold up. Everything else is slop.
>>735911794BLAM
tfw it becomes increasingly rare to find people to nostalgia with because you're so damn old
>>735918398Great game. Wish I had played it earlier because it would no doubt have made more of an impact, but somehow I did not come across it until the anniversary re-release in the 2000s.
>>735906485I am sad so many great 90s creators crashed out in the 2000s and never made video games again, Spore killed any chance of the sims ever being made by Will Wrightsame with RCT and Chris Sawyer after his locomation game flopped be pretty much quit gaming forever
>>735919042Most people over 40 should be as nostalgic for the Genesis as you are. I'm 32 but my dad only had sports games and Sonic for his Genesis so that's all I care about.
>>735919073>I am sad so many great 90s creators crashed out in the 2000s and never made video games again, Spore killed any chance of the sims ever being made by Will WrightSpore was a good idea, didn't EA just push him to release it as soon as possible and cut whatever corners he could to get it out?
>>735896887I think it's funny that they're both acting like they're two institutions in a titantic struggle when they'd only existed (at least in the US) for about 6 years. And we went along with it. I guess 6 years is a long time when you're a kid.
>>735918786I feel like people will look back at yotei the same way people look back at something like crysis 2. Cool in the moment but nothing special.Indiana Jones will be held up by the pretty good presentation and being one of the last decent things from the series.
>>735918096Only Silksong and E33 will be remembered. The rest is just slop.
>>735919168From what I can recall he was given full reign from ea but internally he had hardships with the team he had (one wanted a cute game and the other a more serious evolution sim), but what hurt him most was ea's idea to use their shitty fucking DRM which lead to spore being the most pirated game of all time
>>735894635>Halo 3Simpler times, better times.
>>735919476>Indiana Jones will be held up by the pretty good presentationIt does look really, really good. On par with Alien Isolation for capturing the style, setting and mood of the source material.
>>735919125>my dad's genesisyou're making me feel even olderanyway, here's one of the first games I played, River Raid
>>735905239Fuck man, the vibes on this map in 2011-2012 were top notch. I didnt even go to 4chan back then, this was my entry.
>>735890372no scanlines
>>735919886gross. imagine having nostalgia for 2011 and 2012.
>>735919780My bad, they were some of the first games I ever played and he was always pretty tech savy.
>>7359206312011-2012 was infinitely better than now.
>>735920631Yeah, people need to finally understand that me and my childhood are the center of the universe.
>>735920750im glad you agree
>>735919780Think my very first game was the mario/duck hunt combo at a family friend's house but in the very early 90s somebody gave us an atari and a box of random games(and not all of them worked either). Also hade some console that was a combo of pong/pinball/breakout
>its summer of mid 00s>got home from part time job>turn on winamp and put all the Initial D OST up>turn on Runescape>chop yew to sell to get guthix armor while Impact Blue is blasted on highI miss it
what's with the one zoomer baiting so hard for replies?
>>735905239looking back at this shit no wonder so many wound up trans

>>735888605>He actually bought an N-Gayge
>>735924757Hey, we had a good time playing Bounce and Bomberman on that bad boy during classesEspecially since it was my friends (he had rich parents)
>>735922453seethe harder jam boy, you will always be brown
>>735889635My first time ever using an emulator was at age 13 in 2007 with pokemon Crystal. nocash is a DS emulator
>emuloidsLol you never played the game>>735889635No emutard plays any game correctly. Might as well play some chink bootleg at that point.
>>735896068Literally the first map I ever played of CS. Loved rushing vent with the riot shield and being an annoying cocksucker.
>>735907861>Secret porn roomKek that brings me back to all the pornsprays I saw.
>>735905853I still will never understand this image.Why so many chickens?
>>735911975This one kinda quickly went to shit with ads though it did have great music options. Pandora really was good for so long even when they started having (((premium))) options but I'm sure they're ded now that spotify reigns supreme.Now THIS screams nostalgia
>>735926603I hate nu-youtube so much. Makes me wonder just how many videos have been automatically deleted forever.
>>735890891For me it's Ant & Dec making dumb romantic poems about Sabrina the Teenage Witch and her specific body parts on SMTV.
>>735922208You don't remember how many bronies plagued that game when it went free-to-play? Fuck yeah it was inevitable as soon as people started larping as female cartoon child-like ponies.
>>735909071I wonder how much he does/did pay those bitches to be his pets.I can't imagine many last past a few paychecks, especially shit like that.
>>735910397Damn anon that fuckin' sucks, hope it only ended with pics. My older brother had a friend who's step-dad would always host these big sleepovers for the kid's friends, guy had 3 or 4 gaming PCs which they all would play WoW on. I remember begging him and my mom to go one weekend because I liked hanging out with the older teens and watch them play WoW. >Go over two times>Second time get bored of watching my brother and his friends playing, decide to roam around the apartment>End up in the step-dad's room and fuckin around with a bb gun, nothing too crazy>Step-dad comes from whereever the hell he was, I don't recall him ever really being around us in his little computer room while we were in there. Ends up hanging out with me for a bit>Somehow fucking on the bed and he's trying to get me to 'relax'. Drags his fucking finger from my crown to my nose.>NOPE the FUCK out of there>Immediately just kinda forget about it, never go back, don't even tell my brother or anyone.>Maybe 2 or 3 years go by, talking about my brother's friend and the step-dad comes up.>Nabbed for chomo and cpvideo games
>>735927216Oh forgot to mention me and my brother were talking about this recently and I commented how the fuck the dude had 3 gaming PCs and found out from my bro that the fuckin guy rented them, most likely just for this exact reason.
>>735888831I remember launch day because that was, iirc, also the day a meteor shower was happening. It was light in our area, but I could occasionally see little light-streaks in the sky.Also a friend and I zipped over to Denny's in the dead of night and it was just a couple of old ladies closing up. They asked us what we wanted and we said hot chocolate 'cause it's cold out and we're waiting outside, and they made us a bunch and said it was on the house.It was a black lady and a white lady. What a nice evening.Then I went home(after we fucked around with Wii Sports) and wanted to play a lot of Twilight Princess but I was dying of need to sleep because I am a bitch.

>>735928130I used to have nightmares about THE HEAD when I was a kid
>>735928687It was kind of creepy at the time. Reminds me of the moving bust in the Roivas Mannor in Eternal Darkness, but that one was mostly just silly.
>>735926396I think it's one of a couple things. You can pretty much assume it's a building belonging to some sort of men/boys organization judging by the pictures on the walls along with the flag, seems a somewhat official sort of place. Maybe they're probably preparing chicken for some sort of meals they give out or an event associated with the group they're in, possibly at the very same building. If you have a computer room like that I wouldn't doubt there is a big kitchen and dining area too. Or someone in the group raises chickens and they were just helping to process them. Somehow I think it loops back to whatever group owns the building and computers. I really doubt it's anything particularly interesting desu, just helping somebody out.Maybe you pay for internet time there by processing chickens though, get around whatever child labor laws and don't have to actually pay them wages.
>>735893565remember when graphics cards and cpus didn't even have fans, much less weigh 50lbs?
back when nobody gave a fuck and everybody just had fun and let shit go
>>735888831I got my Wii for Christmas that year. I was surprised cause I heard how hard they were to get, but my dad knew someone who worked at the Walmart and they called him when they got a shipment in. Got Wii, twilight princess and metal slug anthology
>>735903441>increased dodge? hell yeah and i can hide in the shadows>wait why would i need faster death run speed? that's for chumpsand then you learn lmaohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXMguMnsyakfirst character was a night elf and starting in teldrassil seeing all those other elves running around and killing my first boar and cat...god damn man it hurts
>>735909125Play games, meet like-minded people, eat and drink absurd amounts of unhealthy shit and pirate/share more porn and anime than you could ever fathom.
>>735911449holy fuck i had that game on Mac but i could never remember the name of it
https://web.archive.org/web/20031121093400/http://www.blizzard.com/wow/townhall/The World of Warcraft pre-release website
>>735908275I got an online girlfriend playing that game back in the day.
>>735919042Nobody to talk to about games, about how things used to be, about how this site was because there's almost no one left who remembers. Just hordes of young people with no ideas in their heads. Man when did I get so old?
>>735888605Jay Solano approves.
>>735930040>priest has sleep>mage has invis>warlock with anti-magic barrier>lightning shield was targetedshame it didn't list crusader strike as a paladin ability, my game manual did that which was a bit confusing when playing the game (and said that dwarves could be mages)
>look at my old gaming mags>date starts with 19
Reminds me of this virus I got from downloading roms or emulators that took over the family’s computer screen and would just repeatedly open full screen windows of closeups of girls pussys and assholes I remember my mom just shrieking repeatedly
>>735890010I owned at least half a dozen CRTs, and none of them degaussed like that.There's something off about it.
>>735888005Apogee. My beloved.
>>735924757Good to know they're doing well these days. Really should give Crow Country another try.
>>735932525I never tried their games but always loved their flash animations, very /v/-like which makes sense when I've seen one of them post in old flash threads on /v/ in the past.
>>735920665I remember making posts back then about how this site was going downhill in quality even back then. Little did I know in the future how much further there was to fall
>>735932510https://youtu.be/rjBm44oWwsk?t=37
Whenever talking about nostalgia, I always think back on these old install and setup screens. Almost felt ritualistic in a way (much like going straight to the display/graphics menu in a modern game).
>>735889490>pick a game>wall of DVDsgee thanks retard
>>735906991Nah I never liked it.
>>735933280he's a playstation owner please understand
>>735911769ffffffuuuuck i love jfg
>>735933156I remember the apogee games more than their intros, but the sierra fanfare always had this grandiose, almost ethereal appeal to it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx8wsb_1eYU
>>735918096>posts slopLmao
for me it was
>>735919521Both of those games are also slopSilksong is indie metroidvania #2347E33 is peak midwit core. The first 2 acts are a generic save the world plotline and the last one is a failed allegory for escapism.
>>735933808Everyone goes on about the fox but hot damn that zebra was perfect
>>735892434>>735906085well considering its a microsoft expo of some sorts, thats probably a sidewinder (6 axis) and thats probably motorcross madness hes playing
>>735933653the intro they had for gabriel knight 3 is burned into my brain, they used it for half-life toohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyZ2X73VrGs
>>735906195just imagine how many megabytes of porn is hidden in this image. maybe even hundreds of megabytes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvSqYAFdDxs
>>735933943gigabytes easilypeople brought hard drives to those things specifically to trade or share
>>735932525They make games now? Where can I find these guys?
>>735934207sfb aka the Super Flash Bros
i wish i got the chance to do this, but vhs tapes died before i got to.>get a blank tape, record an episode of pokemon, but so the volumes really really low>10-15 minutes in record over it with hardcore porn with loud screaming, like from the texas chainsaw massacre dubbed over it, this time at the max level it would supportso that way, youd (or your kids) start watching it and turn your tv way up to hear the pokemon episode, and then BAM.then, id go to garage sales and leave them in their stuff, so whoever bought the tape would think the family doing the garage sale made the tape.
>>735890891>Mona the VampireFuck, I completely forgot about that (she was an annoying autist, the rival girl was right to mock her)
>>735889490I miss the smell and feel of Blockbuster, but in reality it fucked sucked for video games. 3 days to play a video game when you had to take turns with your siblings sucked ass.
>>735918786I feel Blue Prince will too because of the sheer uniqueness of it despite its janky parts.
>>735920665It was kinda just touching the edges of irony posting with >implying implications but it was still mostly good fun, it was also passed the horrible tripfag frenzy that had emerged on /v/ around 2009. Every anon wanted to try their hand at becoming the next fucking LJ I distinctly remember one anon making a greentext wall describing how they'd all get violently raped in a colliseum while anons cheer and watch.Always wanted to find that greentext. Funniest shit I ever read.
>>735891157it just works
>>735935383i missed when most people here were sincereits why trolling and retards were reacted with such "wat" because not everyone was trying to out retard everyone else
Ty compaqSo many memories

>>735918096millenials played them zoomers watched them for 10 minutes and got bored
>>735908610You fucking nigger…!
>>735921845I played Enya when I played Runescape, maybe I was just weird, that was pre-3D Runescape though from way back
>>735888005this reminds me of when I discovered emulation for the first time and I downloaded Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories and played through it. I can't even remember how I found out about emulating it but I was ecstatic because it was still years out from KH2 and I just wanted more Kingdom Hearts.
>tfw still play games i played as a kid so i am immune to nostalgia
>>735937387And Dark Souls 3 is what you post with this statement?
>>73593742340 POUNDS OF PUSSY AND ASS
>>735937258>consoleREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>735937423>mw3poor kids
>>735937423>mlp hat
>>735937776That's clearly a Pokemon, dumb vtumor
>>735937121I first learned of emulation because of my friend in primary school who was part of a big computer nerd family. One of my most vivid PC memories is playing emulated pokemon red in the 90's on one of their computers. Good times. My charizard didn't always listen to me because of being way over levelled
>>735937674Hey I had that color GBC when I was little
>>735937674i hate touch screens so fucking much it's unreal
>>735937804
>>735910397If this is true, I just want to say, and I mean this with absolutely no malice, that I hope it was the softcore type where you're just in your underwear and shit, so hopefully it'll be easier to get over. The former CP "stars" that I know of and won't mention here aren't very happy characters, but at least they moved on with life, and these are girls who've been gone down on by their dads.Anyway, I really enjoyed playing Pokemon Yellow on my GBA. Catching Articuno in just four turns was a big childhood memory for me.
>>735926396half life chicken party blyat
>>735938981basically what i saw when my parents asked me to go fix my great grandma's computer in 2002
>>735935383
>>735934207yes they made Snipperclips
>>735888509I miss that Toys R Us, they used to have a T-Rex animatronic from Jurassic Park that would roar, turn its head and everything. My mom lifted me up in the air right in front of it as a child, traumatized me at the time.
>>735896461I cannot believe how fucking normal this shit is now.
Remember the 2000s when BlockBuster added GameRush to its store? I thought the orange theme was neat and soulful compared to other game stores.
>>735939727huh? I recognize this but the memory is missing
>>735939757Lego Racers were cool, the Tiny Turbos series was my favorite.
>>735898081Is jollibee any good?
>>735940553That's not a lego racer, this is a lego racer.
>>735896972Seems bad till you realise how ahead of the game she was. Today /v/ hasn't spent 3 hours in game in the last 3 months or finished any games, just spends 3 hours a day here
>>735930040soul
>>735933490Obsessed.
i still tried this
>>735893224today it is metomorrow it will be you
>>735937804Looks like Perry the platypus to me
>>735917878ho. ly. fuck.I completely forgot about this game.I remember staying home sick and playing this all day once and I never was able to find it again. Does it still exist anywhere? That reminds me of another game which was a point and click series of games, great graphics (to my memory). I can't remember much about it besides it being about some kids sneaking around a school, using screwdrivers to open doors and vents and shit. I've probably remembered something wrong, I played it maybe on the same site.
>>735939107it's because of you downloading that world of warcraft game giving us viruses!>meanwhile sister routinely downloads files off limewire like britney_spears_toxic.mp3.exe because music doesn't have viruses
>>735940553There are some really neat 8 stud wide non-Lego options nowadays.
>>735933943Fuck off porn brain go to literally every other /v/ thread you've ruined
>>735890891Any of you lads remember this ad? It was fucking brilliant.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3jZB4sxA_w
>>735890212>Man, am I glad we moved past CRTs. It's the one thing from the old days that I don't miss.retro and arcade enthusiasts (mostly tourists) love them now and think they're kitsch and quirky.For pure authenticity (accuracy and performance) they're correct, but unless you have an arcade cabinet they take up too much space and these people are mostly performative funko pop types.
>>735888005White people, that makes me in nostalgic for a time long gone.
>>735888005is that a nintendo rom?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUpsmkg68PM
>>735942040Oh man, I had that Supercar as a kid. The thing was insane.
