This board is for the discussion of classic, or "retro" games, including consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games. Retro gaming means platforms launched in 2001 and earlier, and official game titles for those platforms released no later than December 2007 (homebrew console games made after this date will be permitted). The Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, and Sony PlayStation 2 will now be considered "retro". Helpful links: Game Tech Wiki Emulation General Wiki
I just beat it for the first time ever after putting it down as a kid, it really is as good as they say. What game should I play next? I'm not to familiar with the Zelda series (this was my first zelda game).
Just admit you playes Ship of Harkinian with Henriko Magnifico graphics and "qol fixes" cheats OP.
>>12475006>Just admit you playes Shi pof HarkinianI did because it was recommended to me but I don't see how much it changes up the game besides additional FPS, i didn't use mods or cheats to beat it.>>12474839MM and TP seem to be the main two i'm being recommended, i've begun MM today so i'll report back (if this thread doesn't die) my progress.
>>12475587hey OP, I'm currently playing SOH version too. Just got to the spirit temple and my controller analog stick broke lol. I beat MM beforehand and was incredibly disappointed, it's not a great game in my opinion. every time you start to have fun you have to restart the timeline and are reminded how much better OOT is. if you want OOT vibes I highly recommend Windwaker (OG gamecube version), Minish Cap on GBA and the Links Awakening remake on YuZu. Avoid Twilight Princess, and everything after, absolute garbage.
>>12476147These are The Correct Zelda Opinions.
The soundtrack does a lot of heavy lifting in this game. Unfortunately, you’re never going to play a Zelda game again with such a great ost. It had the perfect blend of arranged classic tracks, and most of the new pieces became series staples.
Which was the better N64 fighter?
Killer Instinct was the best n64 fighting game
>>12476140wrong, see: >>12476079
>>12476162wear deodorant
>>12476169He said n64, not sMelee.
KI Gold biggest disadvantage was that it came too early into the N64 lifespan, so memory issues and lack of knowledge of the system made for such huge limitations, but considering it's a port of a 1995 game that would lose relevancy fast, it was unavoidable.
2459 japanese exclusive games for the PS1More than half of the entire catalogue and if you include japanese games released in the west it's problably more than 30003/4 of the entire gigantic PS1 library are japaneseIt's even worse for the Saturn...How? Japan is far less populated than North America+europe,it should be the other way around
>>12475942>itt: a zoom zoom watched a youtube and heard about this place called japan
>>12475942You're surprised that Japanese output was higher for Japanese machines?Now do the math for western computers or consoles.
>>12476170Well PS1 and PS2 are global consoles everyone wanted to work with these machine yet Japanese output is far higher
>The market that made all popular console in 3rd, 4th, and 5th generations also… made the most games?!It doesn’t take a retard to figure this one out.Why do you think most 2nd generation games were made in the west? Maybe because that’s where the console was created and produced.What a stupid thread.
>>12476171And computers aren't a global platform? Don't be retarded.
Have you ever actually played an electro-mechanical (pre-digital) arcade game? How was it? Did you win?
>>12475403>im twelve. im desperately trying to fit in
>>12475575Nevermind, found it. Awesome Rat. Sega machine from 1992.
>>12475596I remember this looking a lot more complicated.
we had pajatso machines in most supermarkets in Finland until they were discontinued in 2015. it's like pachinko but played with coins
>>12475580???
Only a week left until it shuts down forever...
>>12467765Where do I find these? I can't find the board specific directory.
Finally got every PS1 game that I care about. Now I can rest easy knowing that I'll never play any of them.
>>12475584Nice try, government but we ain't telling you
I don't know my man, 3 days left. Whatchu hoardin?
I've had a full set for the NES, SNES, 64, GB, GBC, and GBA for a long time, added other small systems like all of Sega's games for completeness and finished archiving all of PSX in the last month.I haven't ever really looked around on the site much, but seeing that massive archive of PC games makes me feel overwhelmed. There's way too much there for me to grab a full "set" like consoles, unless I had a way to divide it by year or something. Can anyone recommend any PC games older than 2008 I should pick up? I'd like to grab anything that's original and pre-Steam just so I have a small repository of old PC games. It always feels great to have things to play that don't require an internet connection or modern DRM.

>>12475691Imho the size is perfect. My dream list for the Steam Deck 2:>Make the screen bigger so that the current bezels are filled up>Make the screen 1920x1200>Add an extra USB C port at the bottom>Make at least one USB C port USB 4 so that it can be connected with an external GPU>Keep everything else physically the same so that as many current accessories work with it>Improve the CPU&GPU performance by at least 1.5x while keeping the same TDP (or at least don't go over 18W). CPU performance should probably be improved by 2x since that's it's weak point.>Give the battery an additional 20% capacity compared to the current one in the OLEDHowever, I'd be fine with a "Steam Deck Lite". Basically the Steam Deck without the back buttons, with smaller track pads, and an overall 25% smaller volume and weight.
>>12476137no, i want an rg35xxh running steamos
>>12476176>not asking for a better dpad and face buttonsdo you even play retro games?
>>12476193I use the left analog stick instead of D-Pads even in retro games. But you're actually right, the D-Pad should be improved. The main reason why I use analog for movement is because the D-Pad is quite shit. I have no issues with the face buttons aside from them being too loud.
>>12476201I use the stick instead too but I'd really like them to just use japanese style dpad and face buttons. Especially the face buttons because the xbox skittles style sucks on handhelds and its crap for retro too.
What went wrong?
>>12474101It runs like shit
>>12474101New architecture the programmers weren't experienced with.
The most epic gaming moment in History!
>>12471360I could swear an NPC in R/B mentions that Cinnabar was built on top of a volcano.
>>12471360Very good post
>>12471360>the 20000s anime boomTime traveler spotted.
>>12455069Truly the peak of pokemon
>>12455069nah i've seen more epic
>What in god's name do you think you're doing Fisher??!?!? The mission's over!
>>12473759still think its funny we got two games in the 2010's that were convinced that we were gonna get Hillary'd. Even funnier that that old cold war, red scare chugging boomer Tom thought we were gonna be buddy buddy with china at some point.
>>12474323The funny thing is: they missed how a global economy and capital mobility works. If China suddenly decides they are moving into superpower territory, they need to raise the populacional economic power.And as soon as production costs increase substantially, they will just move production to friendlier countries like Vietnam.China had no chance, they were born long before the system had already been designed and reinforced by the U.S... that's truly frightetning, terror built in a system of impersonal incentives. (Deus Ex)Tom Clancy & ghost writers weren't aware of all this - they're all military nerds and larpers, not political theorists or economists. It really shows in their books - the power fantasy and auto-eroticism is crazy lmao. Almost comedic.I swear one of the ghostwriters or boomer himself wanted to fuck their wife's yoga coach... that was far too specific. Anyway, now that you said that - splinter cell seems to be oddly favorable to China....Even in missions they are involved, it's in a chinese embassy in myanmar and the "bad guys" aren't chinese. It was easier to beat on defeated USSR block.Even when missions happen in SEA countries, it's never in China.
>>12464532Soldier of Fortune 1 had a tutorial section like that and came out well before Splinter Cell
>>12476113>Tom Clancy & ghost writers weren't aware of all this - they're all military nerds and larpers, not political theorists or economists.>It really shows in their books - the power fantasy and auto-eroticism is crazy lmao. Almost comedic.Same kind of people who think the Wehrmacht were invincible super-soldiers.
>>12476197they're the type of guys who play Civilization and think it's how IRL war works
Why aren't you playing Golden Sun RIGHT NOW?Are you fucking retarded?
>>12470343> For some reason I was thinking that you'd continue into the second game using the same party from the first.It sets the second game up that way, but yeah the perspective changes from the start, which was pretty smart since it gives a good reason to be starting back at low levels. Its pretty neat when the two groups meet up, and endgame stuff from the first game is worth carrying over but you can get late game equipment stronger than what was available in the first game so its not too big a deal if you don't carry over stuff like weapons. IIRC there are a few Djinni that you need to transfer over but I know at least most of them can still be re-found if not transferred over.
because right now I'm chain smoking marbs, listening to DJ screw and playing Daggerfall. Real niggas play real RPGs. None of that girly guy shit dress up like a woman type shit like Final Faggotry 7.
>>12472217>not daggerfall unityPretty based.

>>12475549Nexus are banning people who put censored/incomplete, i.e. demo-version of the mods or nexus and lock the full mod behind their patreon/discord, that's why these links are verboten. For once nexusfaggots did anything right.

Have access to Digimon, Dragon Ball, Yu-Gi-Oh! and One Piece. Still fails. Why?
>>12474829Yup. That's why Nintendo was so clever with the name Game Boy. Did Bandai expect swans to buy their handheld?
>>12475478just make a pokemon clone
>>12476145The "Pokemon" brand name on the box is literally the most important part of a Pokemon game and the main reason why they all sell like ten million copiesThe gameplay, the creature designs, the plot, and everything else is purely secondary to the branding.
>>12476148marketing would fix that
>>12476161It took companies two decades to replicate what Pokemania originally did. It was full on black magic for the time.
Found this bad boy on the street. How did I do? What am I in for?

Still waiting
>>12472512commodore/amiga stuff is just as collectible and expensive. the monitors in general look nice and have a cool aesthetic but it's the computer collectors driving those prices not CRT specifically
