This board is for the discussion of classic, or "retro" games. Retro gaming means consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games on platforms launched in 1999 and earlier. With the release of the 8th generation of consoles, the Sega Dreamcast will now be considered "retro", though the remainder of the sixth generation (Xbox, PS2, GameCube) will not.Helpful links:Game Tech WikiEmulation General Wiki

>>3113451Are you seriously still responding to me? Does this completely useless garbage really mean that MUCH to you? Let it go man, maybe you'll finally get laid.
>>3113452Shut the hell up you're not part of this conversation jackass.
>>3113454If it's completely useless garbage, why are you still getting so upset over it?Face it, deep down you're pissed you fucked up hard and trying desperately to save face.
Previous Thread - >>3077475This thread is for the spirited discussion of CRT displays - Televisions, monitors and projectors used for the playing of retro games!>Try to keep it /vr/-related: Nothing past 5th gen(+Dreamcast). Slight OT might be okay if related to CRTs (E.G. 16:9 compatible models, flatscreens, etc.) Systems with backwards compatibility are also pretty safe territory, assuming you're focusing on the older games. PC CRTs are also a-ok.>Produce OC! Get out your real cameras and take beautiful pictures of your CRTs displaying recognizable characters with the kind of beautiful accuracy that brings tears to the eyes of young and old alike! If you take 100 photos, at least one of them will turn out alright! (maybe)>Try to be as detailed as possible when asking info on a specific model. As always, google is your friend, and we are your friends with benefits. Older archived threads aren't a bad place to look either.>Share appreciation for others choice of technology and personal philosophy of gaming. As always show courtesy in your discussion and moderate yourselves first.Discussion of video processing and scaling devices is okay, but try to keep the focus on CRTs and CRT accessories CRT Pastebin (WIP): http://pastebin.com/1Ri5TS3xS-Video Pasta: http://pastebin.com/rH2h6C7WThread Survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1PhdXJYwA8xModrTV1Yt-i1tvNgwiagpeBx0m_xNIVtc/viewform?edit_requested=true&fbzx=9009823977812318933
>>3113205since you already have a PVM 20 just get an old PC CRT for Dreamcast and PCyou wont find a multiformat for a decent price
>>3113397But clutter and stuff. I'd love to just have one tube for all my vidya machines, plus decent PC CRTs are getting hard to find. Best i can do in my area are Dell trinitron rebrands.
>>3113397Though if I do get a 2nd CRT it's gonna be an EXTRA BIGASS 40" Trinitron HDTV. They actually seem to be common in my area.
>>3112502If it's one of the EDTV/HDCRTs, it could hypothetically have HDMI. For an SD WEGA, it's still liable to have component.
>>311340936" is the biggest trinitron I've seem. I have seen a Mitsubishi? 40" back when. Mitsubishi also made the biggest rear projection I've ever seen.

>>3112043I enjoyed it too. If you liked that you'll also like Jewel Master
>>3112516The user reviews on gamefaqs are well below average, and it was featured on the "awfull games done quick" segment of AGDQ2015. So I'm basing it off that.
>>3111995Are you gonna start this shit in every single thread now?
>>3111872What are you talking about, the music was way better on the Genesis compared to the SNES.
>>3113456Not in this thread.
Popful Thread! Post some games that are popful!
>>3112141>though it usually involves a juxtaposition of cute and fantastical elements,So, Puyo Puyo?
>>3112759My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is not popful
>>3112785I should have also said not western trash. I did like popples and carebears tho.
>>3112770Yes, the whole Madou Monogatari series is very popful.
>>3109957Please delete this. My wife's daughter loves Arina and I don't want her to grow up to be a rapist.
Recently, I’ve seen a lot of talk here comparing the sound capabilities of the Mega Drive/Genesis and the SNES.I recently came across the fact that legendary video game music composer Tim Follin ( ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amiga, Atari ST, Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, SNES, Game Boy, Dreamcast and PlayStation) simultaneously composed and programmed the SAME score for BOTH Genesis/SNES ports for two games. Follin was famous for his clever manipulation of limited sound hardware, for example his work on the ZX Spectrum from which he managed to play up to six channels of audio from one dynamic speaker.Typically, Sega and Nintendo ports had different composers which made direct comparison of the systems respective sound hardware difficult… so this is the best comparison we could possibly have. Same composer, same programmer, same score:>Spider-Man SNES:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8Q0s95SRXMComment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>3113450Pretty decent, although Raijin is a lot better at FM now.

>>3113385As >>3113395 says, just get OpenTTD
There's also simutrans which is similar to transport tycoon but more technical. http://www.simutrans.com/en/Simutrans for Transport Tycoon Players:http://simutrans-germany.com/wiki/wiki/en_TransportTycoon?structure=en_Index&page_ref_id=520
>>3113128>>3113230Where would Locomotion go to?
>>3113436Above average, IMO.
>>3113436It's good. It's basically transport tycoon deluxe with RCT style graphics and the controls are borrowed from RCT. I would place it just under transport tycoon deluxe. I did have some trouble with the controls and apparently it has issues with 64bit windows but the game itself is solid. The soundtrack is also pretty good imo
>You will run out of retrogames in your lifetime
>>3113408>You can't tell me, without sounding like a fucking retard, that 100 years from now only games made in <1999 are retro.Way to miss the point. I don't care about the label, I care about games made in <1999.
>>3113382>No, we are not>>3113408>Yes. We are.I-is this gonna turn into one of my chinese girl comics
Like hell I will. It takes me a month to get through one game.
>>3113335That's ok, I have retro books and retro music to consume. And not even with 5 clones of myself reading books everyday I would finish all possible retro gbooks.
>>3113335How exactly is that supposed to happen? Did the school bullshitter tell you a game self destructs when you finish it or something?
what is /vr/'s favorite dragon quest?
>>3113314I mean NES era old. It's ok if you don't see the appeal, I like both series.
>>3107042I'd say III and Monsters but that's just because those were the first ones I ever played.I still love you, Slib
>>3113314He means that people have distinctive "job".
>>3113264Interesting, earthbound feels much darker with stuff like the happy happy cult, moonside, mu training, and giygas among other things. Mother 3 is, well I shouldn't have to explain that one. May I ask what scene you cried at? Maria's leaving and the final battle always felt so heavy to me like no other famicom/nes game had moments like them.In a few ways 1 is superior to 2 and 3, just as 2 and 3 have their own strengths.
>>3113321that pic is perfection
What are some issues I need to be aware of with the Model 1? If I have a working unit, do I need to worry about anything going wrong with it?
>>3113351this
>>3113351>>3113356Yeah. That game is actually pretty bad, though, despite your memories.
>>3113341Looks like I can get a fixed up Model 1 with new belt, etc. for way way way way below the price of a X'Eye or Wondermega.
>>3113325Then you're just playing a waiting game until it breaks.Better to buy one that has been repaired (or upgraded, some people replace them as a preventative measure) than to buy one that will inevitably need to be repaired.
>>3113434Yeah, I'm starting to realize that now.
Good Doom-likes? Pic related is Realms of the Haunting.
>>3103916Duke 3D was the first one I played all the way through, brings back memories.
>>3103916>only one to bring up BloodBased anonMaranax and spear books

OH BOYMOM AND ARE GONNA TAKE YOU TO BLOCKBUSTERWHAT AWESOME GAME ARE YOU GONNA RENTING TODAY?
>>3104920Is now an Autozone
>>3104920Here's a pic of the Blockbuster I rented lots of games from off google maps, the Verizon store has been there a while now. Another place I used to rent videos from is now a 7-11, and two other local places I'd rent stuff from are now just empty.
>>3093171>Rent Hey You, Pikachu!>They didn't give you the mic adapterGod dammit, I didn't even know what I was doing but I think you couldn't get past the start screen.
>>3113401That's terrible. I hope your parents made a fuss when they returned it.
>>3104920Still a Blockbuster.
Is this a good game?
>>3113393I liked it. I never beat it though. I enjoyed the first one more.
>>3113393It's above average but not great by any stretch of the imagination.
I think it's funny how the PlayStation version is rated T just because it has more voice clips.
>>3113410Wait, that's Gex 3. Still though.
From GameRankings:>81.70% for the PS1 version>60.50% for the N64 version
I haven't seen the pinball thread here for awhile.This is the lineup at my local arcade>Creature from the Black Lagoon>Iron Man>Funhouse>Theater of Magic>Whirlwind>Pinbot>The Walking Dead>Star Trek: The Next GenerationCreature and Trek were just added yesterday, and Creature is probably my favorite 90s pinball. What's yours?
>my local arcade>actually having a local arcadeYou bastard.
>>3111373>Star Trek: The Next GenerationWouldn't even be able to walk in there without drowning in feels
>>3113407http://tiny DOT cc/PhysMod5Solve all your problemsSome new PhysMod5 have come out though, like 85Vette's too-slippery Metallica and Mustang and Star Trek '13. But an actual playable version of Walking Dead also.
>>3111642What does that mean?
I love pinballs but man I suck at themhow do I get good? just dump money into them until I can win? Is watching the PAPA tutorials cheating?
