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

OLED is not for me it makes most old games look disgusting. Desaturated colors are the way
>>12230501Bro come on even with those brown hands, you can see it stutter on literally the easiest to run n64 game. I love the 3326 but cmon. Thankfully we have ports.
>>12228778Bro save yourself the grief and save up for a mamdani air x. I dont like it but since the rp3+, and rp4p are unavailable/expensive in brown countries that is probably your best best. If you can only afford one thing dont make it a shit one and end up coping forever.
If you dont have a metal shelled ODROID GO ADVANCE can you really call yourself a retrussy enthusiast?
>>12230560in india literally all we have is the r36severything else is insanely overpricedaliexpress is banned here
how was this allowed?
>>12230526>>12230337bait
>>12230526The character designer of both games is the same, anon.
>>12230526WTF they literally plagiarized Toriyama. How did they get away with it?
>>12230526You think they're stealing from Dragon Ball? It gets worse.>Main character is a mute hero with lightning powers who fights the demon king (Magus' original Japanese name)it's just Dragon Quest, even has time travel like some of the DQ games do.
>>12230505this nigga gets it
It still holds up to this day, while most games of its era do not. Pure timeless classic.
>>12230338thinking more on it, Daytona was also the first I remember as being a lot more like actually driving. Even with Cruisin USA, you mashed the gas pedal to the floor and just steered.With Daytona, you had to at least consider gears and braking. You had to learn to take corners from the outside to the inside, and worry about oversteering.
>>12230339cruisn had manual transmission option. speaking of which has an arcade racer ever had a clutch pedal? i remember trying to start my dad's truck when my parents werent home after playing cruisn just out of curiousity. i finally managed to turn the engine on after pressing the mysterious third pedal, then killed it as i let it go.
>>12230342A quick search shows Daytona and Cruisin both came out in 94. I'm sure someone on here knows which was actually first, but it was a good, if heavy investment year, for arcades.Probably some of the first 3 and even 4 quarter games, as well.

What are your favorite /vr/ Warriors games, anons?
>>12228001There's a particular setup that lets you cheese any stage if you're okay spamming consumables, but you'll need to grind for items. >>12228017Weapon weight in 5 is slightly more interesting than just stacking attack speed bonuses like later games, but IMO it's too easy to break the game whenever they're available.
>>12228117What a retard
>>12227978Are you emulating? Don't you just have to swap once when you turn the game on? You could just use save states after loading the original or XL or whatever.
>>12228117>says retarded shit>diesKEK
Watch, Memorize, Copy it, Win.
>>12230536You kinda can unless you are autistic enough to do 1cc of literally every ROM you touch whether you like it or not.
>>122305391cc is a the bare minimum. If you can't stomach 1cc'ing a game then there's no way you actually like it.
>>12230545Point is, you can play both, end up liking one over the other, or maybe even both.
>>12230479>ackshually Gradius III arcade is easier than snesWhat is with you zoomers and your retarded obsession with contrarianism? Fuck off
>>12230559No I didn't say that, I said I did not find III to be the easiest Gradius. I also said Gradius III was a flawed and unbalanced game, not that it was particularly hard/easy.One other thing about it is that if you overclock the game it plays completely differently, both for better and worse. I did 140% in RA which is roughly the difference between fast and slowrom and wow, what a difference. The game played beautifully at times but once ranked picked up enemies moved extremely fast and flooded the screen with bullets, as much as possible on the SNES that is. The game is built around the slowdown. Great potential not exploited.
I kind of don't give a shit about Id games.I respect them, but they feel more like engine demos than compelling video games.They do not have interest factor.Also, Daikatana is cooler than anything Id ever made.
>>12230075For games gameplay is more important than anything else, he is right about that.
>>12229849Yes. It's incredibly repetitive and has zero depth. Not as much of a demo as Wolf3D was though.
>>12230460Carmack's games are very skimpy on gameplay mechanics. Doom 3 was even a regression from 1 and 2 and Quake sequels, gameplay wise.
>>12229830Valve, Bungie, 3D Realms, LGS, Monolith mog them
Guess who home console is 31 years old today, yeah: Playstation also known as PSX.>Sony released the PlayStation in Japan on 3 December 1994.Feel free to post or bump and rebump this thread with images, thoughts, opinions, tales, ads, webms, scans, magazines, links, videos, mp4sLet's celebrate its superb games and entries.
>>12230312it's is really popular almost 40-50 million piracy copies in its era.
>>12230517only the lightgun part?
>>12230523Quite an interesting gameSupervised by the author of Gunnm in person,this is the only piece of media that follow his original plan with the true ending and the discovery of Gally originAbsolutely necessary to play if you're a fan of Gunnm
Got in an argument with my stupid coworker today:>at lunch>someone brings up the N64>my ears perk up>aforementioned coworker says how DK64 is his favourite N64 game of all time>I tell him how much people say it’s an awful game>he actually insists it was really fun>I try explaining how it was just a tedious broken game design and is widely considered to be a bland and overly long collectathon>he rolls his eyes and starts to ignore meHe really didn’t get it, how do you deal with people who don’t care to talk about actual game design?
>>1222933999.99% of old games are "bad" by modern standards. That's nothing new.
>>12229339Like everyone else said I'm sure this is a bait post but I genuinely have talked to people like this and it's insufferable so it could have actually happened. "Everyone says that game sucks so you're retarded if you like it" is probably the worst argument of all time. There are so many great games out there that have had their reputation obliterated by some stupid fucking youtube video, one that's usually 15+ years old by this point, when in reality they're just fine and usually pretty fucking good actually. For example there are plenty of games featured on AVGN that are actually pretty decent like McKids and I think the Virtual Boy and its games are cool. Form your own opinion, parroting others in your echo chamber is pathetic. Turns out the majority of the population on this planet has crap taste, look at what sells these days against all odds. Don't listen to anybody.Hell, I even think needing to play a game first to have valid thoughts on it is a bit bullshit too, you can look at uncommentated gameplay and trailers and shit and come to a conclusion that you would like or dislike something too. Sure, if you do actually play it you can form a better argument with more defined talking points but it's not always necessary. Just as long as you're thinking original thoughts man you're not a robot for fucks sake.
>>12229339>I tell him how much people say it’s an awful gameSo you don't actually have own experiences and argued from those of others?
>>12229339Key word is fun.... if its fun for him why the fuck do you have to dictate whats fun for him. Your as deserves to be ignored.
>>12229342Extremely based
It was once called the greatest first person shooter ever...
>>12224523
>>12222236what a coincidence so was I
>>12225564>It doubled down on the best partsFixed that for you. DF2 was always exploration first and action second.
>>12230117>DF2 was always exploration first and action second.The best shooters are always like this.
This game is too fast it gives me motion sickness
the only combos you need is pop them up and spam air kicks and repeat.
>>12223889Doesn't help. I still can't find the clip anywhere.
>>12222032>Weird post>Proceeds to schizo outTouch grass
>>12228014>not reading every post in master shake's voiceI have touched the grass, and it was wet with morning dew.
>>12222032huh
>>12220059The funny thing is that I had an older brother who would always hog the playstation, and whenever our mom would make him let me play he would beat my ass irl whenever we lost, which would usually happen because he would always just hand me the controller and never tell me how to play.
It's not bad but I enjoyed Bomberman 64 and Hero more. I'd rather have one big level to explore than a succession of small rooms, plus some of the "puzzles" were a bit shitty (gotta love hidden doors that need to be broken where the camera can't see it, for instance) and man does that story suck ass. It's like WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS just to say nothing within the most generic plot imaginable, the whole thing's tim buckley tier; and if you die on a boss you have to go through the cutscene again.
>>12228442This was my first bomberman game and it set way too high of a bar for the series. If this is the first game you play, first bomberman 64 is super boring in comparison, as are all the 2D games. But also the ice bomb is basically the older spherical bomb
>>12228646I liked Bomberman 64 but I didn't care enough to 100% it Hero though, I liked enough to do that
The better Bomberman 64 we should have got.
>>12228442>trivialMaybe in singleplayer. Multiplayer is ruined by this. You have 4 terribly underpowered players running around big empty maps. This was already a problem in the first 64 game, but is taken to another level by cross-shaped explosions and the fact Kick and Power Glove are no longer built-in. The stranded island map is comically bad. Nobody playtested this.
>>12228442>he didn't use the cross shape explosion to bounce against diagonal walls to fuck with peopleNha it was great

>>12230227Capcom was founded by Dr. Brief?
I am about to try the original Sid Meier's Colonization, what are your thoughts on it? and other older strategy games you like? My absolutely favorite is Master of Orion 2
>>12230395I used to play Castles 2, but I can't remember if I ever win even once. You get overwheldmed pretty fast, IIRC.
>>12230395A worthy delight for a traveling man.
Top 5 game for me, my best friend and I both played it non stop, he had the Mac one so it was cleaner and with tunes.It's super fun for what it is, the Dutch are by far the strongest, be nice to the injuns they pay really well and gift a lot.Get Jefferson and Franklin ASAP.
>just snaps Liu Kangs neck and kills himThat'd be like if Bison and Akuma just teamed up and killed Ryu by snapping his neck
>>12227165i love wendy's chili
>>12227330I stopped following street fighter lore after alpha/zero 3. Ryu's dead? Oh no->NOOOOO dictator only pissed him off and he became evil ryu! SFIII and its updates were all over the fucking place and it seemed to get worse with IV.AoF and KOF got in on it earlier with Mr. Karate and Orochi characters.
>>12228482I don't, too much tomato flavor for me personally not enough chili pepper flavor, and I'm not big on beans in chili. I do like jerking off to Wendy porn though
>>12220216I think he just really wanted to post trivia about reptile being, well, a reptile all along and not just a recolor but couldn't find a way in to the conversation.
>>12229949chili has beans
