Video games at their purest
Does anyone have a consistent setup for dismantling the tanks in stage 3 of garegga? With my current route I enter stage 6 with 3 lives and 20% rank with Gain, I assume thats fine, but if I can pick up a few extra bombs that'd be really helpful. Unfortunately the route is not consistent enough yet to post, I'll do that in a few days I guess.

>>739081373I swear my dad had this game for PC back in 1996, despite the fact that I don't think it actually came out for PC. It looks exactly the same and it was on the same computer that I played Chip's Challenge and Microman. I wonder if his army buddies found some way to emulate it back then..
Going to arcades in NYC usually led to you getting beat up buy a Puerto Rican kid when you beat them in a fighting game especially if you threw them. Throwing was frowned upon and if you did it you had to stop and let the other player get a "throw back". In retrospect I really have no idea what that was a thing since throwing is integral for high level play
>>739081929Just don't lose
I wish I had a big house with a big basement. I would make a bar/arcade down there. I would never use the bar or play the games but just sit there and wallow in it.
I just bugged out garegga, gunna upload a clip in a minute. I've never seen this before
Bug occurs on stage 2. Also please forgive me for not realizing I had wide shot active for like 90% of the stage, why does that even existhttps://streamable.com/19z53n
>>739082150>I swear my dad had this game for PC back in 1996Sounds pretty much impossible
>>739080828i hate stage 3 of mushi so much
>>739084690What mode??? It's pretty much a routing check in original to wall people who think shmups are like a free-form jazz and shieet
>>739084690Stage 3 is the make or break. If you have a good stage 3 you get the extra life and the rest of the game is ez.
>>739084689If it wasn't Garegga, then I have no clue what it could have been, since that's the closest graphically and gameplay-wise I have ever seen to what I played. If it wasn't that, then I am once again at a loss for what it could have been.
>>739085029Bruh can you take your meds
I just got blueballed from the Donpachi 1-all fuck. I entered the final boss with no extra lives and just two bombs and was two seconds away from clutching it. I was cooking though
>>7390850561944 or raiden maybe?
>>739085063What do you mean? This is what real discussion looks like. Go back to the touhou thread if you don't like it
>>739085090>two bombsYou'll get it real soon if you're that close. Better to learn that lesson on a ddp 1-all and not later
>>739085284Not Dodonpachi, Donpachi. The original cave game that no one cares about for some reason lol. Even Cave said it was an artistic failure :(

>>739086221Another reason why ZUN is the GOAT and 2hu is a masterclass of the genre
I played some arcade cabs at an anime con yesterday, namely Project Diva Arcade and Bombergirl. (first time playing the latter)
>gen x lived through getting literally nickel and dimed just to play a game for a few minutes>gen z lived through live service subscription battle pass loot box microtransaction slopMillennials really did live through the best era of gaming. There was a golden window in the 90s and early 00s where none of that was a thing or at least not so prevalent.
>>739086470>Project Diva ArcadeKino>and Bombergirl. (first time playing the latter)An arcade I used to frequent had IIDX, Maimai, Taiko, Sound VLTX, and Chunithm, and Bombergirl. I never wasted my time with that shit out of respect for Bomberman.
>>739086593Now is best because emulation is most advanced
>>739086593Milennials got mindraped by aggressive dishonest marketing, movie games, and military brainwashing campaigns.
I love arcade games, it's just pure gameplay with no other bullshit to distract you. Just got 100% in Annalynn today, hard and fun
>>739086648>I never wasted my time with that shit out of respect for Bomberman.Yeah, it felt kinda mid. Bomberman doesn't need the MOBA treatment. But, I wanted to try it just once, so I could see why /v/ keeps jizzing their pants over it.
>739086916b8
>>739087008What's bait? It's an arcade game. Are you really going to argue that hardware is a requirement and not the actual content of the game? Or do you have some other autistic reasoning
>>739082106I've hardly touched rayz I need to get around to really playing it. I got that collection they released awhile back with a bunch of the games in 1.
>>739087072>AnnalynnNot an arcade game. It may have arcade sensibilities, much like Devil Engine, Bleed, River City Girls, Danmaku Unlimited, and many more, but they are inherently not arcade games.
>>739087007They just do it to make fun of poor little Bomberman>>739087072No arcade platformer was ever even good dude. They tried to make a few and they all sucked. Your newage indie sloppa isnt good.
>>739086916Gratz that's a good one
>>739086916Anal in the ass with Annalynn
>>739087196>Not an arcade game.Great reasoning, really enlightened me>>739087232I found it quite fun actually so I dunno what you're on about
>>739087293Arcade sensibilities =/= arcade game.
>>739087232>No arcade platformer was ever even good dudeSolomons Key, Psychic 5, Demon's World, Ghosts and Goblins, Strider
>>739087318I get your "point" but I'm struggling to understand your reasoning for getting there. What exactly makes something an arcade game to you?
>>739087293What real arcade games do you like?
>>739087357the game itself originating in the arcade.
>>739087318sperg
>>739087007I'd imagine playing it at an anime-con isn't the best experience since I guarantee it wasn't connected to the E-Amusement server, meaning no online play for proper 4v4 matches. The computer players also objectively suck.
>>739080828Too much second hand smoke.
>>739087352Of those only played Ghosts n Goblins. It's well designed and definitely takes skill. Problem is it's simply not fun at all. Other one I played was the Goemon one. That one sucks too
>>739087398Ah so you're just a nostalgia faggot who cares more about "muh good old days" and gatekeeping than he actually does about the meat of the game. >>739087373Annalynn is a pretty good one
>>739087410There were two machines but I dunno if they were linked. It just felt like it had too many mechanics.
>>739087398I give TouHou a pass though. They didn't start in the arcade but they ended up there
>>739087424Try the other ones, they are very different from that game
>>739087452Having arcade sensibilities does not equal an actual arcade game. Dunno how many times it needs to be said. Bleed 2 is one of my favorite indies and it definitely has arcade sensibilities, but I will never call it an arcade game.
>>739087452OK but what REAL arcade games do you like?
>>739087474Anything but that garbage
>>739087517that's fine. keep it to yourself next time
>>739087546Same to you, calling non-arcade games "arcade games."
>>739087517>Having arcade sensibilities does not equal an actual arcade game.literal semantics. Arcade game is a great genre descriptor for what you would call "a game with arcade sensibilities". No one has time to be saying all that garbage. How would you categorize these games then? Obviously they are indie games, but is the actual genre "indie game with arcade sensibilities"??? Like this is actually so petty over nothing.
>>739086916Have you tried Murtop and Silver Bullet? Or Evil Egg? They're pretty solid.
>>739087694I like Murtop but haven't heard of the others, I'll give them a look thanks
>>739087641>Arcade game is a genreStopped reading. Pure b8 at this pointDon't take "this isn't an arcade game" as "this isn't a good games." Plenty of arcade games are shit. Odds are your favorite "arcade games" (read: non-arcade games) are shit, too.
>>739087517If I play arcade games on my home computer through MAME do they cease to be arcade gamesIf I decompile an arcade game and port it to PC does it cease to be an arcade gameIf I create a 1:1 remake of an arcade game is that too much of a ship of theseus for you to still call it an arcade gameYes, I know what you'll say. All that matters is whether the game released in arcades. What I'm trying to tell you is that your semantics seem largely meaningless
>>739087521Boobians
>>739087756Okay but can you actually answer the question. How would you categorize these games? Like I said, using "arcade game" as a genre descriptor makes it pretty obvious what type of game you're going to be getting into. You just don't wanna use it for autistic reasons and I'm guessing you don't have actually have a better option to present
finna buy a parodius machine for my coffee shop
>>739087829>If I play arcade games on my home computer through MAME do they cease to be arcade gamesNope. It originated in an arcade.>If I decompile an arcade game and port it to PC does it cease to be an arcade gameNope. It originated in an arcade.>If I create a 1:1 remake of an arcade game is that too much of a ship of theseus for you to still call it an arcade gameIf it's absolutely 1:1, with zero differences whatsoever, right down to the binary code, then it could arguably be considered an arcade game. A needless port, though, since it it changed ANYTHING-- including framerate-- it could no longer be considered arcade.>Yes, I know what you'll say. All that matters is whether the game released in arcades. What I'm trying to tell you is that your semantics seem largely meaninglessSemantics are important when arguing with retards like >>739087858
>>739087990Why is that semantic so important to you man
>>739087473Yeah, it's quite a bit to take in as a new player. Every so often, I'll see someone trying to play defensive with a bomber or attacker character.
>>739087858Arcade game isn't a genre like console game isn't a genre and computer game isn't a genre. It's a platformer released for PC. It's a PC platformer like Celeste or Meatboy or whatever>>739087886I know you're coping on your shitty Pandora's Box. Brokeass nigga
>>739088031Because non-arcade games that just so happen to have arcade sensibilities are not true arcade games.
>>739088031Because he's a autistic millenial who doesn't understand or accept the evolution of language
>>739088105You dont get to misuse words and then say that it's an evolution you jew
>>739087886That's neat, I think people would play cute games at a cafe like Pang or Puzzle Bobble.
>>739088153That's literally how the evolution of language works genius. Also I disagree on "misuse"
>>739088105"arcade game" does not necessarily mean "good game." Example: Ehrgeiz is an arcade game, and that game is shit. Don't take "this arcade-like game is not an arcade game" like it's some sort of insult.
>>739081921Thanks, ChatGPT.
Play IIDX
>>739088191There was a retro cafe in Korea that had PS1 Ridge Racer and some other shit
>>739088076I'm not sure what that means>>739088191Pang is actually a based choice, I'd like to have a couple machines that the barcade down the road doesn't have
>>739088220I'm not and never did take it as an insult. I just genuinely think you're a retard who's getting caught up over the stupidest shit. Annalynn is much closer to your "real" arcade games than it is Celeste or Super Meat Boy on almost every single level excluding the fact that it was released on Steam. You care less about the actual content of the game and more about how it was released. I completely understand your point I just genuinely find it stupid and antiquated
>>739088104But people sure as hell know what I mean when I call a steam game an "arcade game." "metroidvania" is a stupid genre name too but people know what it refers to. I understand that this line of thinking can eventually lead to accepting stupid shit like terms designed to skate around algorithmic censorship as proper language, but I think adapting the term "arcade game" to describe games that are explicitly designed like arcade games is, for language, a pretty inoffensive grey area. which is why you seem sort of silly to me
>>739088335>I'd like to have a couple machines that the barcade down the road doesn't haveWhy dont you just build your own cab? Get a mister fpga and a crt and you can have hundreds of cycle accurate arcade games>>739088259It's good but it's overrated

"I don't know what you mean when you try to call celeste an arcade game
This could have been a cool arcade game general if not for some stupid faggot claiming his favorite indie game is an "arcade game."
>>739088467>No it's not nigger.great point, really changed my mind
>>739088467>I don't know what you mean when you try to call celeste an arcade gameok youre shitposting, bye

>>739088490touhou is honorary tho
>>739088530I have more fun with popn than I do with taiko. I haven't played maimai enough to really judge it because I usually spend all my credits on DDR and IIDX
>>739088579Touhou Project (at least the ones that originated on PC or console) will never be arcade games.
>>739088490errrmmmm ackshually "indie" isn't a genre it's just describing that the developer of the game is independent
>>739088642>errrrrrrmmmmmmmm ackshuwally "arcade" is a genre because I would like to believe it isBeing indie doesn't disqualify a game from being an arcade game. Originating outside of an arcade does.

>>739081929This was before consoles existed so nobody was willing to buy a console yet because they didn't even know what video games were. This was their introduction to video games and then they said "It would be awesome if I could take this home with me" and that's why consoles were invented lol.
>>739088786Ironic shitposting is still shitposting.
I like BOS's description of YGW games as "playing with fire." There's a constant balancing act between benefit and immediate destruction.
>>739088837Great point. On that note this will be my last reply on this "topic" because it's been obvious that you're shitposting for awhile now
>>739088883Good. Don't let the door hit your ass.

Gonna dox myself. I lived in Ventura California and there was an arcade by a small center by the beach that used to have a bootleg DDR machine that used to play a song that I just cannot remember. It’s been 20 years and it still stuck with me.

>>739109665they wanted to make money out of you, if you didn't play they didn't get the money, so they made the game as addicting and "unfair" as possible whilst having the carrot and stick approach, the real peak was during ps1, xbox and n64 era.

>>739080828and whitestthe good arcades were clean and had great food
>>739112945>So are lightguns plug and play with something like MAME?Yep, they normally simulate a mouse cursor.>Will they even work on an LCDSome, like picrel, do out of the box; others need IR trackers.
>>739115417nice breadbox
>>739112945>So are lightguns plug and play with something like MAME? Will they even work on an LCDOn everything BUT MAME, yes. All PC lightguns are just an absolute cursor. MAME has a significant issue with reconciling an absolute cursor with a differing aspect ratio (most games are 4:3, most screens now are 16:9), and so you either have to buy a lightgun with its own "MAME mode", or just use libretro which sanitises MAME's dogshit input handling. Seriously, no other emulator is this bad. It's like they built the input handling 25 years ago and went "eh, good enough, why would anyone ever want to play a game at a differing aspect ratio to their screen lol".As for if light guns will work on an LCD, none of the old CRT guns do, you need to adopt a different kind of tech. All of them have flaws.
>>739080828>imagine if I could play this in my room for free while smoking weedI wasn't around for real arcades but this is how I felt about pcs, especially seeing zoomers romanticize the mythical "family computer". Yeah, it was great coming home to see what's new on the forums to find mom locked into a percocet fueled bejeweled sesh, then she gets off just in time for dad to hop on and browse boat motors he won't buy. "Sorry guys, maybe I'll get you my chapter of our shared erotic zelda fanfic tomorrow some time", young anon sent telepathically to the 35 year old weirdos somewhere in the internet.
>>739116421the magic of PC's is that they workthe issue with arcades is that they need constant maintenanceI'm with OP because there enough losers who bought a cabinet at "a fair price" only to have a piece of junk they can't repair and know nobody to do itif they have the character and money and chops it's really rewarding, just like with pinball or boats (like you rightly mention), otherwise it's just a sucker being scammedawareness is alright, arcade cabinets (and pinball and boats) were made to last long and be easily repaired BY SOMEBODY SKILLED
>>739115337>there are people playing shmups using a d-pad. thats a scary thoughtIt's literally all the same bro
>>739117701that anon is right, there is a big issue because many shmups and other arcade games (pacman, most notoriously) had gates that prevented you to be up+left or up+right etc. so when u use a d-pad and switch from up to left, the character just freezes in place, the system thinking it's an error
i mean physical (metal) gates, over the joystick trajectory

This dual-stick gameplay was a really good concept for a fighting game. While in the long run the current stick+buttons gameplay prevailed, its sad we never saw more games with this format

play rhythm games
Stepping up the a virtua-on cab and gripping the controls for the first time is such an impactful memory for me, like trying it again with just a normal controller just didn't feel as good
>>739137510well, i have no idea if the software was modified to accommodate the controls, but playing HL2 on a gamepad (equivalent) is pretty grim
>>739137860Best answer in this thread.
richfags btfo
>>739139370does the controller actually work, or is it like when you let your little brother "play" during attract mode?
>>739139370>the place where your plumber takes u when u tip him $10
>>739081929>too broke to play 25c games>too incompetent to get extra lives and not blow all your lives on the first stageFortnite and Roblox seem more up your alley, little man.
whyd they get rid of "just a couple more shots" in dfk
>>739081929>>pay for lives with microtransactionsAnd when you hit Continue, in 99.9% of arcade games, your score gets wiped to zero. Game actually ended on the Continue screen. Everything after that is just practice. You play for score, or for that 1CC, not just to see the credits roll.
>>739139845No it doesnt. they just add a 1 to the end. your first coin score will be 1000, and then if you continue your score will be 1001, and then 1002 and so on. This is so at the end when you see your score you can see how many continues it took
>>739139672Sounds weird when an anime girl says it
>>739140756And you still didn't beat the game, unless you cleared it on one credit.
>>739140925Yeah and the score proves you didnt beat the game because it shows whether you credit fed or not
>>739141040I agree with you and probably misread your first comment, sorry.
>>739139540You mean attract mode? Only pops up with those two helmet guys.
Im glad I got to play a lot of arcade games. Some personal best ones:>Outrun (and the newer one)>Afterburner>TMNT 4 player>Silent Scope (with the sniper rifle)>Time Crisis>Initial D
>>739141414Ever played X-Men 6-player?
I finished Lords of Thunder using only continues that the game gave me (you can also buy them). Is it considered 1cc? Cool game anyway, I don't think I'm gonna do true 1-continue-complete but maybe I'll try other armors (I used the blue one).
>>739141963Not a 1CC but congrats on the clear regardless.
>>739142043Yeah it is. He put 1 coin in and got the clear. Game just has shitty design
>>739142306Refresh me: Does LoT wipe your score if you credit-feed? If it doesn't: Then it's a very murky 1CC.
>>739142710I never played it but apparently it's a console shmupI guess it depends on the price of continues. If continues come at the expense of resources it could be part of the game design. If continues are basically free it could be a way of not beating the game
nmnb run:>What a difficult pattern... I can't use bombs so I'll actually have to engage with the game but I'm sure my micrododging skills and quick reflexes will prevailscorefag run:>Is that a difficult pattern? Yeah, I'm bombing this and if I milk and uss an unintentional safespot for this boss for an hour I'll get the optimal score
>>739143132There are two continues normally and you can buy more using in-game currency (I think it's the most expensive thing you can buy).Yeah it's a PC Engine game.
>>739143308You forgot kusoclearfag:>Is that a difficult pattern? Yeah, I'm bombing this and uss an unintentional safespot for this boss
>>739143441The PCE shmup I played Magical Chase also had the in-game shop mechanic. It was a neat clear but it is nothing in comparison to a real arcade game clear, even an easy arcade gameIf I was you I would count it as a clear and move on to an arcade shmup
>>739143308>my micrododging skills and quick reflexesThe post of someone with zero fundamentals
>>739144042scorefag post
daifukkatsu might be the most damaging shmup of all time to newcomers due to autobombing and the amount of hypers you get, you dont really have to engage with any of the patterns
>>739139448>SEGA will never be as kino as they were in the 90s/2000s ever again
>>739144593according to the japanese shmup community all of these games are the same difficulty15 Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu BL [CAVE, 2008] without Hibachi, Bomb style Mushihimesama [CAVE, 2004] Original Guardian Force [SUCCESS, 1998] ALL Pink Sweets [CAVE, 2006] ALL with infinite lives trickGun Frontier [Taito, 1990] ALL with autofireGalaga 88 [Namco, 1987] ALL Game Tengoku [Jaleco, 1995] 1-ALL with autofireDarius [Taito, 1986] ALL [?]; +1 for EXplus alpha [Jaleco, 1989] 1-ALL without autofireBorder Down [G.

>>739145212DFK BL doesnt have autobombing, only the original does. i'm saying that a newcomer who prob won't play BL will have their fundamentals fucked and they probably shouldve ported DOJ first to PC
>>739145518How do you fuck your fundamentals? They don't get fucked, they just don't get developed, right?
>>739133041Ever hear of the laws of attraction? Just be dumb enough to believe you can do impossible things. Your attitude directly affects your results.
>>739146379you can develop your fundamentals poorly, deathbombing in 2hu does this

>>739148908Oh boy branding from generic movies yippee
>>739149073You dont know anything but here have some kino machines. This game is in an older style with modern comforts and it rocks. This genre is in its second golden age imo with the amount of new companies there are and just how neat all the presentation is and gimmicks fitted in as well as the huge amount of resources for modding, im eatin good

>>739085056>>739082150Sounds like your dad probably had Raptor, a cult classic western shmup for PC.
>>739154974HOLY SHIT THAT'S IT!!!I appreciate you greatly, anon. It's been 30 years since I've played this, but this is absolutely it.
>>739154974this game is so bad

>>739156836>>739155470QRD? when I hear "western PC shmup" I think "shit"
>>739141963That's not even an arcade game.
>>739154747i want play something other than parodius, i think if i beg for literally any CAVE game i'd be quartered and killed... i'll practice at home and try to get a high score when i go
>>739156892It's just typical euroshmup jank. Floaty movement, everything has too much health, dodging enemies more than you are dodging bullets, the usual
Still the goat.
>>739152653While the same ideas of making shots on machines carries over to all of em that also means your skills carry over too, however all machines play different and you got to adjust. Its like how music games all have the same skills of timing button presses in various schemes. >mash buttonsGit gud, if you are one of those plebs that thinks its all random you are wrong. Physics be a cruel mistress sometimes but you can control the game more than you think, learn how to nudge, slap save, post pass, if you arent working around the tilt bob inside the machine you are gonna get shit stomped and wonder where it all went wrong. Also anon ALL ARCADE GAMES ARE PRESENTATIONS AND GIMMICKS, NEWS FLASH.

>House of the Dead 2>Marvel Superheroes>Final Fight>Alien vs PredatorThese are the only arcades I have ever been able to 1cc at an actual arcade.
>>739162678Those are pretty impressive, especially the Capcom beat-em-ups because of all the BULLSHIT they throw at you.
For those who've played both the emulated version and the real hardware version of any particular game, have you ever come across a noticeable difference in one version that you've never encountered in the other? Slowdowns are a pretty common difference, but any bugs or other quirks?

>>739080828What console excusive games would make good arcade machines? I would like to see an adaption of Dragons Crown.
>>739166025You very clearly are that Anon and it's obvious what you're doing. You've chased me into the video games thread to torment me with more RPG speak. Leave me alone. I already generously allow you to have your RPG threads, don't take this away from me. It's bad enough this thread is too incompetent to help me on my Garegga 1cc, it doesn't need RPGfags
>>739166015Agreed
>>739082247It's da disrespect, homie.>>739087990>>If I decompile an arcade game and port it to PC does it cease to be an arcade game>Nope. It originated in an arcade.It was ACTUALLY developed on a PC, then ported to an arcade cabinet. All arcade games are PC ports.

>>739115153Literally me. He's lacking a bunch of piss jugs and togo boxes.
I remember when there were still arcade machines at restaurants when I was a kid. My favorites were galaga and pole position at an old fuddruckers, arctic thunder at chuck e cheese, and ms pacman at a local pizza place. I went to a round1 recently and it was all phoneslop and gambling games. Not a single arcade machine in sight. So depressing.
>>739145518BL has autobomb but you don't use it because it rapes your hyper stock and scoring
Boghog and his cronies need to quit stroking their dicks to the notion that the first two stages of arcade games are "free" and "for beginners". It's up there with "arcade games are quarter munchers" when it comes to dishonesty, and it's so easy to spot a fag who plays for survival when they say that.
>>739166332Trust me, it goes in all fields.
>>739166297>It was ACTUALLY developed on a PCRight, and what platform was it first officially published for?
>>739169959
>>739170339I'm just saying if you're going to give the other guy such a hard time for using arcade games to define a genre, your entire argument can be dismantled by being pedantic as well.All arcade games are PC games. They were first played on PC, they were made on PC they are PC games.Using the term arcade games to define the genre is fine, you're being an asshat.
>>739170416Guess that means all card games are PC games, since they were graphically designed on a PC before being released to the public in paper form.
>>739171037>all card games were graphically designed on a PC before being released to the public in paper formholy shit, a zoomer too young to know about the printing press
>>739171249Modern card games, you fucking retard. They're all likely playtested on PC before being mass-produced in printed form, as well. Fucking retard.
