Metal Slug is the oldest game I've seen do this but surely it's been done before right?

Sonic is the earliest one I can remember seeing.

It's crazy to think that game is that old. I probably didn't play it til 97 or 98 but it still felt fresh for the time even considering everything was moving to full 3D or isometric with 3d models. A lot of detail in that game.
>>
>>12515209
Yeah it was. Pretty advanced game for its time btw.

Is there any game with pixel art that reaches the level of Metal Slug ?

Irem in general has great pixel art and artists from there worked on Metal Slug. The roots are most visible in Geostorm and In the Hunt.
R-Type Leo, Ninja Baseball Batman and Blade Master are other amazing looking titles.

Why is it so hard to find modern pixel art games like this?
There are some that look great but I still think these older titles look much better.
>>
>>12513572
>Why so?
When actually playing through games it quickly becomes apparent there isn't much going on, most sprite detail arises from the fact that there simply isn't much to animate. It's trading gameplay for flashy surface appeal. If they actually tried to make a fun game, they wouldn't have had the manpower to make such elaborate animations.

Voodoo Vince was a pretty charming 3D plattformer for the OG Xbox. I'll gave it a replay recently and have to say IT actually aged quiet good. Anyone else having some nostalgia for this game?
>>
>aged

>>12515313
It's my favorite game on the original Xbox and has a really excellent soundtrack. Even took the soundtrack disc to my guitar teacher and asked if he could teach me that 'Son of Trophy Foom' song. He wasn't ready to teach a teen at his peak of ADHD-ness like me so he kept calling out sick after that until he quit. Anyway yeah; Love this damn game.
>>
>>12515617
I see now that the song title is actually 'Son of Trophy Room', but I swear it said 'Foom' when I ripped it to my computer back then

Did anyone else have this autistic obsession during childhood with discovering secrets in retro games as a kid? i had it with Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64 i always tried to explore every last detail to discover new characters tracks or levels in the pre internet era all sorts of rumors circulated games seemed to hold secrets as if there were no limits this happened to me in the 2000s when i was a kid the every copy is personalized meme didnt exist yet but retro games sparked that intrigue that curiosity to explore something i dont feel with current games i always believed that developers were hiding things secrets and i always tried to explore every area every detail did anyone else had the same autistic obsession?

I don't really get why you highlighted the first three points when there's plenty of other evidence that they're fake. Yes, those can be indicators, but why would you bring that up circumstantial evidence when your last three points are right?
I'm surprised you didn't pick up that Earthbound shouldn't have "LICENCED BY" on it, and that Chrono Trigger shouldn't have "ESRB" on the ESRB rating.

yeah, but if it's not working from the get go, I might just take a sneak peak inside aswell. Check if the cap looks ok, or if it starts to bulge, look if someone poured some cola inside the cartridge. It's not like I will miss this one minute at the end of my life.

The GFs were like a cutscene you could watch at will and didn’t need to get to and record on vhs.
And more people had GameSharks and didn’t think anything of using them so you didn’t need to engage with the drawing mechanic.

Stop, I can only get so hard.

In the late 80's up until the mid 2000's martial art films were pretty iconic in pop culture, and while Bruce Lee's probably the most famous, my favorite growing up was this son of a bitch.

I'm playing through Jackie Chan Stuntmaster on PS1 right now and it's a lot of fun! Quite underrated I think, just could deal with less load times is all. I wanted to play some more Jackie Chan video games after this one. I've heard Kung Fu and Kung Fu 2 on NES are both based on Jackie Chan films, is it true? Any more besides those? I plan on tackling those NES titles next up as they're classics.

There's a Mortal Kombat style Jackie Chan fighting game called Jackie Chan: Fists of Fire. It's decent. Not winning any awards, but I had a good time.

I think the guy who made Kung Fu Master actually made the first Street Fighter.

Don't know if better than Halo but it's a very good FPS with great level design and difficulty. Pretty interesting mission objectives.

It's pointless to compare, just load it up on an emulator and have fun.

Multiplayer was a lot of fun at least for me back when i didnt know about online gaming

So, is it good, or nah?

That should work. So long as you have a way to remap inputs to the appropriate accepted output the game can interpret to the actions. It may take a combination of adapters and drivers/translation layers to get the results, but it would get you closer to how it was in the arcades.
