It's insane how the minigame VS mode was hidden behind a secret method.
It actually makes me mad because I could have enjoyed playing it with friends and siblings back in the day but I just had no clue.
The worst part? I actually owned magazines that gave it away, but it seems I was too dumb as a kid to read all of the pages and just skimmed through looking at the pics.

Star Control II (Also known as Ur-Quan Masters, also known as Free Stars: The Ur-Quan Master) got an update with the Mega Mod recently. The latest updates have added two major features:

>Randomization modes that randomize the Galaxy layout, planet resources, event locations, alien locations, and even alien ships. Dialogue is appropriately altered to fit this.
>Ship storage. Store ships at the starbase for later. Crucially, gifted ships will be sent here if your current loadout is full.

Why aren't you replaying Star Control 2 now? What better time will there be?

I can't really. I keep geting killed by that borg like species when trying to travel through hyperspace. I'll get a proper controller setup. The 3do version I'm playing on retroarch seems to work pretty well though, aside from my not having a controller.

If you don't have fwiffo or max thrusters for the mothership you basically can't beat them. It's one of the worst things in the game. With max thrusters you.will be jusy barelynfaster than the probe.

You can take the mothership and fly close to a planet and escape warp- gravity stops effecting you when you warp and the slylandro will probably not damage you very much because it will try to avoid tye planet

Zoq is crap. mine more. buy more Spathi ships while you still can. i think the next step is to find those spider guys with flamethrower ships and mindfuck them with psychic messages or something.
there's a time limit but you probably don't need to worry about it unless you're purposely trying to see the bad ending. check a walkthrough or a labelled map if you're really lost.

Fine, if we're going to play that way, Initial D arcade stage 3. Released 2003, and on the Naomi 2, hardware released around 2001. There, a post 90s arcade game that's retro.
Also Metal Slug 3, unless you're going to be hyper autistic and claim "The year 2000 is actually the 90s".

When I was a kid I got paid $100 dollars to go to some building in Itasca and talk about video games with a group of kids. The adults were like "hey what do you think about this idea?" and every idea they presented, from design to characters and types of games, we kids almost unanimously agreed were crappy. A year later I saw the TG16 and was like "hey I recognize that!" and told my parents to buy me a Genesis instead. Dipshits should have fucking listened to us.

Yeah, the default turbo conrrollers were nice. They were light but solidly built, the d-pad was good and built-in turbo switches was maybe a bit of a marketing gimmick but it was also a really convenient feature.

I put heavy mileage on mine and even threw it once or twice in a fit of autistic rage and it never broke. My only gripe is that the cord was too short. I would have liked to try the arcade stick but never could justify the expense to my parents, who were not into video games.
>didn't it come with a controller?

Also from what I was posting with the OP, the answer is Nintendoage
They are the very first ones who saw retro gaming as solely an investment to cash out later on. They never cared about retro games as much as making money, and then eventually manipulated online sales so that games would spike in price. The owner even shut it down because he wanted to sell his collection to Heritage
A huge part of why retro gaming spiked up in price and is the way it is now is because of Nintendoage

retro games were always going to get expensive eventually. that's what happens to things that are no longer made. this are basic economic principles that you fell asleep in class for. you stupid NIGGERS constantly trying to find scapegoats to cry over are just flaunting your low intelligence for everyone to see

This is also why the spell names are the way they are. Chances are they probably weren't going to call a heal spell a boring ヒール anyway but it's hilarious to think that a huge part of the series' identity came from not being able to fit a ヒ into the cartridge.
