Do you think that retro videogame collectors are the future wealthy elite of society? Will chinese billionaires be making huge offers? Museums getting in bidding wars? I wonder if our Nintendo and PS2 and Genesis games will one day be worth actual money and museums will be bidding on them. Sort of like what happened to Magic the Gathering and Pokemon cards. Most the people who held those 90s cards are now worth millions of dollars. Can the same happen to us?
>>12600435It's hard to say that far in the future, but I was just pointing out that old games (and other collectibles) tend to have a junk period before they enter the widely accepted as collectibles period, unlike what was implied by his post, which suggested that things just climb in value as soon as they stop being produced. Magic: The Gathering is one thing where it seems like the collectibility was recognized early on, and has only seemed to climb year after year (at least for the good stuff). Pokemon cards were super hot for a while, but then went through a period where they were typically seen as "old junk" (and I'm guessing even a lot of the then-new sets during the late 2000s to the mid/late 2010s weren't anywhere near as hot as the early sets were at release) before taking off again as hot, investment-grade collectibles. The genuine collector culture around old games was incredibly niche for quite some time, nowadays everybody is on the bandwagon, going as far as slabbing new releases with the hope that they're sitting on tomorrow's meme rare like Surprise at Dinosaur Peak or Little Samson, or that first print, factory fresh Mario Odyssey will be tomorrow's sticker seal SMB1.
>>12600464Oh yeah, you're right. I was mostly going off on a tangent rather than responding to your actual point.
>>12600075People are more angry with speculative investors/grading cartel/heritage auction type shit interfering with what was once an affordable hobby.Truthfully it is still an affordable hobby for actual gamers. The top 50 best video games of all time (all consoles) still can be had for around $20-$30/each for the moat part. Only a few like earthbound are worth more (and that is a criminally overates game anyway). So if you were a gamer and wanted a collection of games that actually mattered you could build a respectable collection cheap still. For the price of a single anime 1/4 bunnygirl figure you could buy the following on facebook marketplace: Super mario 1,2 & 3 & worldSonic 1&2Zelda, LttP, OcarinaMega man 2Metroid & Super metroidPunchoutContraDragon warriorFinal fantasy & FF7, 8,9,10Comment too long.

>>12600508>People are more angry with speculative investors/grading cartel/heritage auction type shit interfering with what was once an affordable hobby.Absolutely, though those aren't the same people who respond to somebody sharing a picture of their collection shelf with a screenshot of their No-Intro set.
>>12600508>eople are more angry with speculative investors/grading cartel/heritage auction type shit interfering with what was once an affordable hobby.they're a symptom, not the cause. prices were going to go up regardless because of basic economics.
>CAVEdogshit memoslop>Raizingliteral quarter munchers as admitted by Yagawa.>TreasurePseudshit for journosThe only good shmups are old-school kino like Truxton 2, Gradius III (AC) and Raiden DX.
>>12601627I didn't play Gradius II much, but from what I did play, I hated the solar flares part on the first level and if you died you were completely fucked. Like every Gradius game but here it felt worse. The solar flares part was the gayest part of Life Force so I didn't enjoy seeing it return. This is the only version of the game I have played though, so I reserve this judgement only for the NES version.
>>12601646gradius 2 is great, just take your time and learn each stage
>>12601445>So if you didn't clear a game you don't have a right to enjoy itIt's impossible to enjoy a game and not clear it. In no other genre would this be acceptable. This place is genuinely odd.
You can look at what someone says and what they praise and tell they haven't played anything. Like no one is screeching about CAVE being "memoslop" then praising gradius 3. That makes zero sense. The entire game is hard memo, there is not a single second of actual dodging. And CAVE games in general have extremely lenient memo.I don't know what the point of these threads are when it's just third worlders going>here's my tier list of box art for games I haven't even played
>>12600654It goes to show that these larping faggots don't know what a well made classic shmup looks like.
A thread to discuss games based on works by Macaulay Culkin.Starting with the classic Home Alone, the original, on NES.Was it as bad as people pretend? I feel the HA2 games were worse, this one was oddly comfy. Like a doll house proto-Tecmo's Deception
>>12601601>Dear Mr Culkin>the Home Alone SNES ROM has surpassed 100,000,000 downloads>here is your 0.1347¢ commission
>>12601601He made an episode with AVGN about it
>>12601601> at something like a fraction of a single U.S centRoyalties contracts that I've seen usually have clauses like>don't bother sending anything until it reaches a minimum of XX $so those checks probably at least paid some groceries; although for him it probably means the equivalent of nothingAlso, he should feel good about people sending him royalties checks without him having to beg for them, especially in the case of shit he forgot even existed. Being a star probably helps, more fear of lawsuits from the owers.
>>12601817Maybe those contracts predate that, or maybe his dad negotiated things weirdly.
I think a Home Alone with Aliens would be excellent. Or at least a Home Alone so skinned and so rewritten that it turns into its own game as a marine that needs to defend his bunker and run away from xenos rather than shooting them. It would be Alien Isolation but done properly.
The best old japanese computer for gaming. What are your favorite X68000 games? Mine are >valis ii>akumajo dracula (castlevania remake)>atomic runner chelnov>arcus odyssey >cotton
It has a some great games but not many desu. Disregard entries at the bottom, I pile all retro PC games into 1 playlist.
>>12601846>akazukin chachaI played is a cotton clone but i hate the level design >metalorangeI like the artwork but the game itself is mid, sometimes sounds like the game is an excuse for the cool art, since it's just arcanoid/breakout but a little bit different and more buggy, honestly if i want to play a game like that i will play touhou HRtP.
>>12601863>I like the artwork but the game itself is midtry hooking up Nuked-SC55
>>12601868Not that anon but even though Metal Orange was designed for SC55, I found that it sounds even better using Yamaha S-YXG50 emulation. I know it shouldn't be that way but I dunno, can't go back to SC55 for that game. I like the game btw, simple but very playable.
>>12601307You have a little bit of everything don't you?
If you get to Monstro Town before level 6, which is the Super Jump level, there's a special dialog for it.
>>12599542I was about to say, I would imagine it is literally impossible to reach this point below level 6, even if you run from every avoidable encounter.
>>12600375>>12599542It is possible. Look up low level guides for this game. After winning a battle you have a chance for a minigame for double or nothing. With the lucky jewel you can force this and it is super tedious but this is how you do it.
>>12600302not having it does not mean they dont know the concept of that level of spell existing. you're retarded.
>>12602120Nope.Rika clearly casts Gires in that scene, you can even hear the sound effect.
>>12602120Anon, the implication was clearly that Rika was using Gires to try healing her.
Apparently, Windows 11 24H2 deprecated DirectSound support, so you now need a wrapper to play old games with this API. This affects all RenderWare games (GTA3, VC, SA for example).https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Engine:RenderWarePress F.
>12601980Is this how you normally get attention? How embarrassing.
>>12601987Hey it's working great so far. Did you think it was done for the little (You) text next to the number? I want to know how you think my little PC nerd.
>>12601975Anon was unfortunately molested as a child.
>12601991Are you feeling well?
>12602063This sounds more like a confession, really.
Man its not that heug
>>12601470yea, by volume it's probably bigger than the 5200, that's pretty "thin". and certainly by weight. it has a full-size 5.25" dvd drive and 3.5" hdd in it. it's basically a full desktop computer just with a custom case to minimise empty space
>>12601006>those stickers that came with some game magazines. I still have a few somewhere..........
>>12600938the OG xbox is as ugly as it is nice looking. it seems contradictory but it isn't.this one needs a good bath thoughever
>>12601006I see that you enjoy Eidos games
>>12601006My original psx also had several sticker for Medievil.
People who loved gen 2 as a kid - do you think gold and silver still hold up or was it mostly nostalgia
>>12594894The movement is really good in this and it has a ton of room for player expression with the nutty tech you can pull offThe economy was a bit weird (crafting), but it’s fineThe Pokédex was kind of strange because Johto felt like a smaller list, but that’s not too bad because Mewtwo is back (even if the story bit with him and Lugia/Ho-oh was tacked on)The gym management needed more time in the oven and I’m glad they just did away with the wonky skill point system in RSE
>>12597289same, it wase all i played as a kid and to me i assumed it was the peak of gaming, when you realise it was just ok even for a rpg
Playing this game today is literally mental illness
Gen 2 is absolute fucking trash and fuck Johto so much.Gym leaders don't even use Johto pokemon and all the Johto pokemon are fucking garbage. There is a reason why everyone only uses their starter, Ampharos and Shiny Gyarados in their playthrough.
I got a Chinese bootleg of JP Silver off eBay and beat it before it came out in NA. I enjoyed the atmosphere but I had little idea what was going on, used the kana that looked like Roman characters to “name” my mons in pseudo English.Any time a new ability could be learned I had to get it and see what it was so I had to always have one ability I was willing to sacrifice. Haven’t played pokemon since.Good times, maybe I’ll try it in English someday, but I doubt it, the games are just too easy.
why did they make playing as a paladin so boring?all you do is wait like in a jrpg
>>12601415The actual answer is that hybrid classes were all super gimped in Everquest for legacy D&D multiclass penalty reasons.
>>12601539subscriptions are not the same as current pay2win game biz models. are you a chatbot?
>>12601729I specifically said pay2play not pay2win. I know what you mean but wow is pay2play. you cant play it if you dont pay your monthly subscription. it doesnt even offer much value for your monthly subscription since most of the new content (from what I can see) comes from their annual expansions which you have to buy on top of that. really surprised blizzard customers are willingly getting fucked in ass like that but well they are retards.
>>12601539@grok how do I unsubscribe from this user's content?
>>12601415They correctly assumed many beginners would choose paladin so they made the class simple to play.>>12601724They are not gimped at all, they are top tier healers.

>>12600821>>12600835>>12601297I went with a mine ride. It's got great stats, shockingly. Good throughput too.
>>12601383needs a water feature
>>12601383Mine rides are right up there with spiral coasters as the "I don't make these often, but when I do, they turn out looking great" kind of ride, and they usually have good stats.
I was following Brigador Killers thread on /v/ so now i'm making cyberpunk-like props. Not very useful for making a level though
I played Taiwan Park and it was nice.
Japanese made games usually take all the spotlight in any NES library discussion. So let's talk about American and Euro made ones itt. Which ones are your favorites? Bonus points: no Battletoads
>>12596374>until Donkey Kong countryimplying it was good
>>12596409Awesome music too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMOW-A8hxfA
>>12600538For me, it's the flight on a storkhttps://fi.zophar.net/soundfiles/nintendo-nes-nsf/smurfs-the/7%20-%20Act%205%20%20The%20Flight%20on%20a%20Stork.mp3if you can't hear the lightning effect in your head you didn't beat the game enough times
>>12596369Solar Jetman might be my favorite game on the console. I also enjoyed Wizards and Warriors, Snake Rattle n' Roll, Nightshade, Defender of the Crown, Maniac Mansion, and R.C. Pro-Am.>>12596414Recording and inputting passwords for that game was a huge pain. I did have a bit of fun guessing valid passwords, though, in order to create an effectively randomized game state and characters.
>>12602003>Defender of the CrownI had it as a kid (the NES version specifically). I must have told the story of how I got it new, sealed, in the bargain of a general store circa 1998-1999.I can't say that it's good because as expected of a strategy game on NES/FC, the enemy AI isn't good, but the mini games were a nice distraction.
Recommend me some classic """W"""RPGs (aka CRPGs), and tell me why I should play 'em. And tell me what's the best versions of said games.(Bonus points if it's playable on consoles, i.e Ultima's console ports)
>>12601474Its just dumbed down morrowind.
>>12601949And it is a good thing considering half the morrowind features were broken af
>>12601505American RPG
>playable on consoleCRPGs are not for you
>>12601954why did Oblivion chose to only keep the broken half?
>thought the game was made by Brazilians>actually it's made by French devs>still prefer to believe it was made by BraziliansLittle Big Adventure ThreadStill haven't gotten around to playing the second game, but man, the first one was a genuinely wonderful experience.
What is France if not just Brazil East and also some North.
The same guy who created Little Big Adventure also made Alone in the Dark.
>>12601947AITD was the first game to mix 3D models and 2D pre-rendered backgrounds. LBA reused that concept but with a birds eye view, which then Final Fantasy VII copied.
Why couldn't Ulala save the Dreamcast? She's a very marketable character.
>>12601751>>12601693I can think of a genre or two she's better suited for
>>12601751Oh I get it. Dreamcast was too hetero for you.
>>12601942Rhythm games are among the most female coded genres, only female brains care about music
>>12601693no boobs or butt
>>12601693she's uglyshe lookes like a whore from western 3D porn during the 00's (mostly from The Sims 2 and Second Life mods)

>>12600668Just accept that megaman is a States thing. Here in Europea Megaman is just niche character from the 90s in vidya.
