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
Hi anon. Do you remember this Ninja gba gaem?
12871737(You) should drink more water and less alcohol
>>12871740>he's just spamming the thread nowOk. I'll come back when you're gone.
>he’s still crying and not posting ninja gamesMODS
>>12871698Yeah it's Double Dragon Advance and King of Fighters EX2: Howling Blood>>12871737The image is AI
>>12871747Marblefren here, let’s get back on track here. A lot of people think this port was inferior but once you get through the incomplete C Stick integration, it plays just like the arcade.
Amazing how long this utter sham of a series has persisted, despite how little anyone actually gives a shit about it(Prince of Persia sucks balls too btw)
>>12871625>games listed are the oddball TPS entriesWeird example.
>>12870959To be fair, it takes a fairly high IQ to understand tank controls.
>>12871103Tomb Raider was the first worldwide widely successfull 3D action adventure game. Until the 6th gen, every time there was a third person character driven action adventure game people, including reviewers, were like "so this is like Tomb Raider", even if it had nothing to do with Tomb Raider. I mean people weren't just saying that about stuff like Indiana Jones or Time to Kill, they were saying it about everything, and if Ocarina of Time wasn't made by Nintendo, they'd have said the same thing about it too.That's without even mentionning games with female protags.
>>12870959I like TR games but they are too long and i hate dragging giant blocks
>>12871129never let an unc tell you his generation had better taste, when they post dipshit takes like this
shameless AI jeet used AI slop to snipe the fan translation project of ''Persona 1 Jpanaese PSX version'' from the hecking wholesome TranslatorTom a famous and beloved member of the human fan translation sceneTranslatorTom was working professionally on this project for years to deliver an accurate and well done fan translation that respects both of the game an the playerbut just like the time when when troons came after him and tried to cancel to him for faithfully translating the word ''tranny'' in Goemon 3, the AI tranny brigade made this AI trannylation of a game they have no interest in (they only care about Persona 3-5) just to fuck over poor Translator Tom :(link to the shitty AI slop: https://github.com/Redeted/megami-ibunroku-persona-ps1-translation
Reminder that OP is a retarded fag who hates everything.I hate AI slop, but I hate this attention whore even more.
>implying more than one translation can't exist simultaneouslyI fail to see what has actually been lost here
spam thread
Does anybody actually like this shit? Why do sony persist with this shitty design? Are they too proud to admit they fucked it up the first time?
>>12871706>the xbox 360 pad is legitimately trashOk that's one that's definitely worse, but dualshock dpad is not much better. And this is for a controller that doesn't treat it like a secondary input, a weapon switcher, for the dualshock this was the only directional input originally.
I think it's the best, and I grew up with Nintendo only.Less likely to accidentally hit a diagonal input.
just checking: do you think its four separate buttons?
>>12871732Of course not. But a good dpad should let you rock your thumb in the grooce as well as tap inputs. Rocking on the dualshock feels like shit.
>>12871732>do you think its four separate buttons?No, it's a membrane underneath, but the separation does prevent accidental inputs slightly. What kind of games are you playing where you "rock your thumb" and need a one-piece D-Pad circle? It's not hard to do diagonals on the DualShock when you need to.
How did picrel manage to mindrape Sega & Nintendo into leaving the hardware market and pivoting into underpowered gimmicks for the latter?
>>12871520I'd need to constantly explain that I'm an American and my childhood gaming experiences relate to that despite my flag then. But the other problem we have on this board is zoomers who are too poor to buy current gen consoles or gaming PCs and make online friends to play with experiencing the past through emulators. They then try to speak on how things were even though they weren't there. I wouldn't mind it if they just spoke on games but their talk about the business with misguided assumptions gets tiring.
>>12870468>Nintendo into leaving the hardware marketLiterally never happened. OP is off his rocker.
>>12871679>and waiting for large images to loadthe largest images in 2003 were VGA quality as in maximum 300kb. The average image was less than 100 or 50kb.>I could only imagine the kind of person leaving their dialup connected all night to download a single anime episode then browsing 4chan during the day. That would be true suffering lmao.Nah that's retarded, you only do that for entire MP3/AAC albums.
>>12871719Maybe on the websites you were on with your family's AOL subscription lmao. Nobody was downloading any AAC either unless they were retarded enough to buy it off iTunes and I don't remember that taking off until 2004.
>>12871548Well they certainly found copies of FFVII, Half-Life, some Marios, and Counter-Strike at his compound when they killed him.They probably were for the kids that lived there but who knows?
itt: games that have aged like fine wine
>>12871681
>>12871681Picture unrelated
>>12871739Post pic related then
>>12871681>>12871690These games aged like the shit I took this morning. Seethe harder nintendies.
I never noticed those temples built into the mountain. What do those dudes do all day? Do you think the portal a million miles long makes a noise? How can they sleep?
>>12870128Well it's Outworld so it probably involves dark magic and barbarism like everything in Outworld
thats where liu kang and reptile foughthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJOJTsmJLLA
12870187uh oh meltie
>>12871438It's "toasty"
>>12870128>What do those dudes do all day?they wait until someone comes by so they can walk outside and say "Look out, my big fucking cock is here."
>better than a speccy in every way.>IS a speccy but with a far better colour pallete.>never mentioned, ever.this machine is a hidden gem, and its time /vr/ learned about it
in your heeadin your heeeeadhttps://youtu.be/jtyTZDKPmTQ
>>12870812>Brits aren't saying Zed Zed Top eitherThat's where you're wrong mate
>>12870826>>12870836It was normal for the time for computers not be completely localizedEven the popular C64 sold at German Aldis was QWERTY
>>12871562Thanks for the info. I've seen pics of AZERTY French Amstrads, and in Spain computers were required by law to be localized since 1985. I guess it varied a lot by country and by distributor.It's pretty cool that you could get a C64 at an ALDI.
>>12870731>better than a speccy in every way.Nope. It's slower than Speccy. The graphics have more bits per pixel, making it slower to render, and the memory is unified, slowing down bus access. Just compare R-Type on Speccy vs CPC, CPC is slower. On the other hand, CPC has scroll registers, but barely any game used it.
what does it have that the gba igavanias dont? there's definitely something, but I cant put my finger on it.
>>12870075>Its a secret poor bait AI traning thread!
>>12870790Retard.
The fact that even though Michiru Yamane kept doing the soundtracks for the games all the way to Bloodstained, she never again made them ORCHESTRAL
>>12870075>what does it have that the gba igavanias dont?In aria of sorrow, after you beat the game you can start a new game with most souls, most items, most weapons, etc.In symphony of the night not.
>>12870254Street Fighter Super Turbo and X-Men COTA have graphics way better than Kof98Kof98 is objectively a better gameplay experience. I suppose when it comes to Igavania, we're not talking to people particularly interested in games as much as they are larp adventures
these are never discussed amongst other golden age cabinets like donkey kong, pacman, space invaders
>>12871621>Part of why they declined was because the companies were looking toward home console ports and started avoiding special controls.That's why I heard Marble Madness 2 didn't get released at all. Its control scheme was changed drastically to adjust for home console players, and it never would've worked.
>>12871623Arcades could do really well again right now (if we solved our public spaces issues...). This is because the hardware gap between pc/console and what is popular. You can put a $15k setup inside a cabinet and have the absolute peak graphics and performance for a game at level very few could afford at home. Add on special controls customized for it and you're in good shape. Think of something like a GTA that plays short special missions designed for arcade use.
>>12871687The thing is, companies like Raw Thrills have adapted their arcades to use PC hardware for decades. Hell, some of it is a lot lower-end than you'd expect, with some running simple embedded OSes.
>>12871691That's why no one gives a damn about their arcades
Centipede, with the Trak-Ball controller, was one of the great games on the Atari 5200 thanks to it being a great port, getting around the usual joystick issue, and using Pokey sound which was very authentic given the arcade game used the same sound chip.
The final boss of "I play every series starting with the first game" people. God lord this game fucking sucks. Great music though.
>>12867891Stop trying to play it like a Nintendie platformer, scum-fuck.
Well since the thread is still up I might as well update you all, I continued playing the second game and it's actually great. I was just still reeling from the assrape that was the first entry.
>>12870838I read on the wiki that the Western release of that game has tons of missing content, thus I skipped it.
>>12867860I used to think that too, as if it was some kind of gangsta game and what not.But then after many years I tried it starting with C47 and the moment I heard the Hong Kong theme I knew I was wrong all these yearshttps://youtu.be/3hJL_KrNts8?si=KMdeJtnFmJo8S0gn
>>12871206Exactly, because it missess something
>there's no use case for A-
>>12871159Beg the guy on /hbg/ to make more fat moot hacks for you, I'm sure he's down.
Disgusting curry thread. Kill OP brutally
The one gaming AI thing I want is people ripping levels and characters from across all sorts of games into THUGPRO, but instead of doing something reasonable for actually enjoying its just gonna be more of this engine mashup magic shit.
>>12871541I want to rip Sonic R levels and put them into Zoo Race. They're both on-foot racers, so it only makes sense.
>>12871382ESPECIALLY civilization on the SNES
10/10 horror
>>12871550Oh come on ffsI know the meaning of the word horror you smartass
>>12870950You dont always know where it is, but moreover. It's the amotsphere and designNothing feels safe, even the places where you should be feel off, characters just appearing right in front of you with their creepy shady looks. And then there is the musichttps://youtu.be/1S2QaBy4rxo?si=t70Iq4hMjJlkjw8chttps://youtu.be/rwPUf_wP8IM?si=_WwudzXC7btz7AlPhttps://youtu.be/eyWQpkR4ZVQ?si=bC33JKio0IXhxEdhhttps://youtu.be/Q7p8WdJPFKQ?si=kd0_KE13IaHt-5YLhttps://youtu.be/3GhBt8fDDeo?si=EAab2bOUgV-hw_1Yhttps://youtu.be/ZdMMOTfhmnE?si=z_zZeouNvZMYMcnShttps://youtu.be/_Pbi2SB7o-Y?si=tBfFjvw8EVPq3R1ghttps://youtu.be/Iw_fUXJ3HK8?si=QrtxhX2JOlpFUWK8https://youtu.be/VXYdBYksJD8?si=sugH9O5IHpAyQHhL
>>128699844chan overrates this game way too much.It's neither scary nor good. It's janky with lame gameplay
https://youtu.be/iM63gvrkVe0?si=xt-kZhnTSPKPJWrb ',
>>12871708I liked it for its first person melee combat. Very few games manage to get that right.
Why does almost no one mention the first Street Fighter game? unlike other games this one is more of a single player game and its fun if you have never beaten Sagat in this game you are not a true Street Fighter fan
The deeper you dig into the history of this game and Takashi Nishiyama's directing style, the more clear it becomes that this game is really the first Garou game, and Street Fighter II is built from very different design DNA. Go back and play Fatal Fury 1 and it feels a lot like Street Fighter 1, in all the bad ways.
>>12863773Chat GPT exists because retards are too retarded to used Google.
>>12871424more like because Google has been turned to absolute shit by jeets over the past 10 years
TRY AGAIN KeeeEEDAHAHAHA
It's actually kind of mind-blowing that we got a fighting game with a cast of different unique characters with their own fighting styles (Yie Ar Kung Fu) in 1985 and a fighting game with two player vs mode (Karate Champ) in 1984 but it took until 1991 for someone to combine the two ideas (Street Fighter 2)Street Fighter 1 is a footnote because it didn't do anything new really and got overshadowed by belt scroller beat'em ups like Double Dragon.
