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
Why did they translate it as tanooki suit and not tanuki suit? No one knows what a tanooki is.
>>12548554Probably to make sure people pronounced it the right way instead of "tanucky" or some shit like that.
It doesn't really matter.
This may unironically be the best turn based strategy game ever made.
>Battle for Wesnoth >pic clearly says The Battle for Wesnoth>despite using that pic as the header on the Steam page, it's still titled just Battle for Wesnoth I don't know, if they can't even get the name right it's probably slop...
>>12545073Honestly don't know any other free wargames besides wesnoth, winspmbt, and panzer general clones like opengeneral or panzer marshal
>>12547923is MegaMek /vr/ aged?also there's many Civ clones. like Cevo.
>>12546830as somebody who actually owned master of monsters, i think wesnoth is a better game. first and foremost for the diversity and moddability. MoM also doesnt have ranged combat, its the same as wesnoth where you choose form attack type 1 or attack type 2 (ranged) and some things just dont have ranged. MoM has magic spells that players can cast 1 of per turn, and globally target any non-master unit to fight an elemental (ranged style combat) once per turn. the units being mostly creatures allows for "cooler" evolutions, but wesnoth has diversity in its factions. also the day/night cycle (which only affects some damage and accuracy) in MoM is more tedius/annoying than it really is for anything strategic. i dont recall if there is a day/night cycle in wesnoth. ask me anything about MoM, i sunk hundreds of hours into it as a kid.
>>12545073has a lot of potential, too bad its hex
Did any one here ever own or know any one that had a Neo Geo? I only knew of its existence because it had a category on GameFAQs. Never saw one in real life back then.
>>12548186Yes, I knew a fellow who owned a Neo Geo MVS cabinet around 2010.
Anyone who says "I never heard of a Neo Geo in the 90s" is telling you they were either a filthy casual who never opened a game magazine in their life, or an actual moron who just flipped past all the Neo advertisements without a single neuron activating in their brains.
>>12548331
>>12548543Or they lived in a small town where only Nintendo and Sega existed.
>>12548543i had no idea about the console, but i saw neo geo cabinets everywhere.
>never released a single bad game>still failedits not fair, what the fuck does a software house have to do?
>>12546926
>>12547553you're so easy to spot
>>12548339>>12546926>you're so easy to spot>as the schizophrenic lolcow exposes himself as the resident schizophrenic loser every single day to random strangersdid your compulsive lies generated by ai make anyone's head explode, lolcow of vr?
>>12546726>and most Sega consoles failed.never happened until saturn and dreamcast>Nah Epyx fucked themselves in the ass by making the Lynxagain, epyx would still be around if atari had given epyx their money>big VLSI chips>bigso big that you can cover over it with your thumb>high capacity ram>64kb is high capacityyeah, i'm thinking that you're fucking stupid> Gameboy in comparison was made mostly out of cheap off-the-shelf components.no. the lr35902 is a custom made part. wasn't much inside a gameboy, dumbfuck. any more delusional fantasies we can shit on while we're here? you literally make retards cringe
>>12548339>you're so easy to spotJust look for someone challenging a narrative. At the end of the rainbow you'll find a ridiculous cunt humiliating not only they/them self but the entire species.

who had better games?
all the ps2 Ratchet & Clank games are greatSly and Jak ones are just alrightI'm saying this as someone who never had a playstation growing up so I have no nostalgia glasses for any of them
>>12545304R&C
Sly (if it didn't have mini games) > ratchet > sly with minigames > jak
>>12545958the concept art for Jak 4 still haunts me
>>12545304Ratchet > Sly > Jak 2>1>3 for Ratchet2>3>1 for Jak and Sly
Forget World of Warcraft ever happened, going from the end of Frozen Throne(2003), how would you have finished the saga in Warcraft IV?
>>12543902I wrote a treatment that would’ve happened in WoW but basically used the bronze dragons and a new character to undo the Lich King shenanigans but oh no a piece of the sword also slipped through the time stream so when they arrive all of wow’s storyline had been wiped out but Arthas has already been corrupted freeing up all the bs they added after the lich king xpac. I like>>12543948some of this and would make it so while the forces of light (w the new MC) are fighting Arthas’ Lich King persona a new threat forces them to unite could be deathwing or the demons but yeah. The intro to my story is them getting to Arthas while he was solo and creating the time rip in one of those amazing cutscenes they do showing the fight and seemingly winning as a shard of the lich king passes through the time stream setting up the early turn and inadvertently having the demons come in early forcing them to band together as all of Azeroth undead or not. And then follow that up w a finale where we see Arthus either redeemed or ultimately destroyed in one final epic battle. Then let the story rest for 1000 years and do the next game using all of that as history for another protag to come in.
>>12548378>I wrote a treatmentdo fans really? lmao
remind me how the fuck did medivh get back to life in WCIII?
>>12548386Yes I really did. The fucked up the lore so badly I thought I could do better. I only did one draft and it’s not complete but I feel like my story was infinitely better than what they have done w the lore in the WoW games post Lich King at the very least.
>>12548550Turn it into custom Warcraft 3 campaign. The world editor is awesome
Look Japanese is very nuanced and every word could have up to 3 different meanings, you literally can't translate it word for word.
>>12547115One, but he has to watch someone else screw in a light bulb first.
>>12547540I follow the hagakure nigga. bushido is for cowards
>>12547820Ayo ghost dog reference in the big 26. I love that movie
>>12547760the only thing more pretentious than the dogma series is the act of pretending that it's not a masterpiece i'm sorry to say
>>12546380To be Frank, I thought THAT line was refering to Golbez's stint as the unnamed man in black of that game, not about Theodor (not Cecil doesn't call him that) tho there IS a different flashback

>>12548351Seems like Duke Meets Doom works in eDuke32https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyd1NGyxMww
>>12548370Cool.
>>12542028Back when I started to play the Duke I saw this sprite like this, then it was today years old than I learned the "true form" of the sprite
>>12542028I don't get it. whats the big deal with Satan's library. Seems like your average map to me.
>>12547861They don't distribute the dos version with this?
Source code and data for Metal Gear Solid 2, enjoypixeldrain l aPyoCBaxbuzzheavier i1f03py9rw4g
>>12548373I surmise most of it must be routed through some sort of rudimentary PS2 SPU2 emulation layer, it's unlikely they would have reformatted the data without access to the raw assets as that would be needlessly complex work and introduce the possibility of degradation.
>>12548373I'd love to fix some of this stuff myself but I feel there's far more dedicated turbo autists out there with much more free time than I have.Also the spaghetti nature of the code doesn't exactly instil enthusiasm.
>>12542931>I like to imagine Kojima did 9/11 as a marketing stunt for MGS2.It was an inside job

Off topic, but since this the Vita leak as well do you think this will help make Vita games portable or help with a Vita emulator?
Finished Marathon a few days ago and it's now up there as one of my favorites in the genre.One thing I can't believe is just how overblown the complaints about Colony Ship For Sale, Cheap were. You may have to run back once to adjust heights once or twice (at most), but that point you've cleared the level, and it takes hardly anytime to sprint around the entire map. How much of the bitching was propagated by Mandalore?
Did you ever get swindled purchasing games back in the day? In grade school, my friend was hyping me on King of the Monsters saying it was super cool and what not. I saw the SNES version at Walmart one day, so I snagged it. Man, was I disappointed when I got home. That was the worst $20 I ever spent. I later tried to sell it at a pawn shop, but all they offered was $4 despite it being complete and barely used. My mom said no. I still have it to this day.
My dad's a repair man and at one point he did a job for some computer autist that offered to put a modchip in our PS1 and burn some games for us as payment. Dad took the offer because he's tech illiterate and it was cool as fuck at the time but in hindsight the dude probably paid us like $30 in modding service and burned CDs for work my dad usually charges several hundred dollars for.
>>12547794i made a bit of money softmodding xboxes for people
>>12543054I traded my friend a holo Pokemon card for some shitty Bugs Bunny platformer on game boy color. Can't remember which card it was but I knew it was a mistake after about half an hour
>>12543086To go to Mexico
>>12543054i thought that lego island was going to have more freeform creativity, so i could just build with endless digital blocks instead of needing to buy physical sets. convinced mom to get it for my birthday. holy FUCK the disappointment. even worse, it ran at like 4fps on out shitty acer computer. if only i had waited a year for lego creator to come out.
Who has the better library between CPS 1/2/3 vs MVS/AES?
>>12546304better overall library is MVS hands down, but CPS1/2/3 is stronger in certain genres like belt scrollers and shmups
Capcom had some odd non-CPS arcade games in the 90s ought to count in this discussion. https://youtu.be/pcCZLP7x4Es
>>12548452Other then MAYBE the Pant games by Mitchell Corp. Slipstream seems to be the only one and that one was available mainly in Latin America for some odd reason.
>>12548517Magical Tetris Challenge.Ought to count the console-exclusive games too since Capcom had no real home console. I don't count the CPS Changer.
>>12546347Progear has such a great story setup that would be nice to see as an anime. I got a CPS2 conversion of it with a B board last year and it was fun and cool. I love huge PCB games, granted CPS2 games feel like a bitch to switch out since they have to be so tightly fitted. Not that I change it much since my only other CPS2 is a Phoenix version of Super Puzzle Fighters II.
