Ghostbusters for the (pathetic) NES was essentially the same as the Atari 2600 app.Meanwhile, the version released for the Sega System had vastly superior graphics, as you can see in pic related.

Previous thread: >>11986381Rules of the thread are simple:>You can only talk about games and systems made before the US release of the NES (1985). Everything before it from the CRT Amusement Device to stuff like Marble Madness and Kung Fu Master is cool here. Later and homebrew ports for Pre-NES games on Pre-NES systems are allowed (e.g. Jr. Pac-Man was released in arcades in 1983 but the 2600 port came out in 1986)>That's it.How do I git gud at arcade Battlezone? Also how do you bind that game? My binds for my Dualsense controller are okay but I wanna know if I can do better.
>>12022559Have you tried messing with the analog sensitivity settings in MAME, generally works fine for me. Alternatively try the incremental controls, I forgot how MAME calls them.>>12031401I just didn't find it exciting which I can imagine is a problem for a secondary arcade cabinet in 1981. Some pretty big hitters and fast playing alternative games. Maybe it would've done better as a 81/82 console release, but it's just not a game that jived well with players at the time.
What are the best pre-NES games for someone born post NES to try? I had an atari 2600 at one point and we had fun fucking around in multiplayer with stuff like combat but I never really explored the library. What would be the best single player stuff to try? Fun multiplayer seems easy enough to find but I've never really played single player stuff that old besides Pitfall.
>>12033224Zoomer here, pretty much anything from Activision is a guaranteed win, most Atari games are wins too, but the bad ones are pretty bad. My top 10 in no particular order is>Battlezone >Robot Tank>Journey Escape>Tax Avoiders>Berzerk>Ms. Pac-Man (pretty solid port compared to the Pac-Man port)>Yars' Revenge>Haunted House >River Raid>Cosmic Ark
>Ran a randomized game tournament last night>Atari 7800+ was one of the setups>Most people expect any set played on the Atari to just be funny because people have to play old games>Outlaw end up getting selected>The set played out Outlaw ended up being, by far, the hypest matches of the entire nightEveryone is Outlaw pilled now
>>12034107It's always wonderful to see people go from playing Atari ironically to unironically having fun with it.
I don't get it. Its linear as hell, the story is barebones, the game is so easy you dont have to think, theres no exploring for loot, no stat point decision making. Whats the big deal? First FF by the way, im disappointed.
>>12035289then why did you say 4 doesnt make you re-recruit your party?
>>12035291When does IV take your characters away and hides them behind optional dungeons like Locke and Cyan? I must've missed that part

what's your most boomer retro gayming take?
My boomer take is that zoomers have constructed a narrative about what gaming used to be like, a canon of famous games, a hierarchy of values... and none of them are based on historical reality. If you are learning about "retro games" from youtubers, you are buying into a story that has little to do with what actually happened. I suppose history is always like this.
>>12034651>>12035150
>>12035212This is, for the most part, true. Most are also unable to put things in perspective, because they don't know the perspective: they view old games through the eyes of modern gaming views and standards (people who use words like "aged" or "hold up" or "worth playing TODAY" etc are all like that or they wouldn't use those words at all, and if you try to make them realize it they twist things in full cope mode)
>>12035271My favourite example of this is how people shit on Atari 2600 calling it obviously terrible and not fun etc, when in reality it was massively popular for many yearsPeople make no effort or have no capacity to see things in context
>>12035262Tony's got the completely wrong attitude. Skateboarding was a fad, and it died. But he managed to seize that short window of opportunity when it was big and turn it into millions of dollarsHe should be thanking his lucky stars
What would've changed for the Classic Sonic franchise if they had made Tails a girl in the first place? I used to think Tails was a girl as a kid, and, to be completely honest, I think this was their original intention, which is why they made her so much more feminine than Sonic, but changed their mind last minute. It really feels that way, nothing about Tails screams "dude" or "guy"

what are some standout /vr/ songs you like a lot? post anything. hell i will even settle for sound effects if it gets you fuckers participating. I will post like 10 or 20 things later in one post.back around 2010-2014 i seem to recall /v/ still had music threads up but that place is a shithole now and music threads get bumped off to quickly by coom posts.

wtf is going in here
>>12034868That’s what I thought.Some stuff sucks to sell like my gold GB Camera. Literally never going to see another one irl again. When I get to selling my pokemon stuff, that will sting. I have a sealed Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness >>12034882Nowadays you don’t even need to build a pc to emulate unless you’re going for later gens.A hacked Wii U or sideloaded Xbox Series X can emulate most of what you want to play without issue
>>12035006For the average person yes. But I get off on seeing fully emulated computers be themselves.If you grab any configs from the 86Box Discord, you'll see the great amount of autistic effort it takes to make it be like the real thing, and with unique BIOS and all.You're absolutely right for most people though.
>>12035001tds. not retro.
OP just make your dumb videos, use a flashcart, and show off the full authentic cartridge-and-manual experience with just a few games that you feel like hunting down CIB copies of. Your viewers don't need to see EVERY original cartridge to get the idea of how it works. They don't need to see EVERY box or manual. Just show them a few and otherwise focus on the main event: the actual games.Also who says "play-alongs"? What even is that? I hope you don't have an annoying croaky voice and aren't being fat on camera. If you aren't willing to promise that you are avoiding such crimes then your priorities are just way off. The difference between video of an emulated game and video of a game played on real hardware is far smaller than the difference between a video narrated by a hideous insufferable toadman and a video narrated by a moderately charismatic, somewhat pleasant-sounding off-camera entity. Focus on the things that matter please. The player is the one who needs to care most about authentic hardware, not the person viewing a recording from across the world.

Let's talk about the retro Harry Potter games. Did you get to play them at the time? Which one is your favorite? Do you think they managed to capture the magic of the books and movies?Did you play the console or PC versions of 1-3? They are completely different games, made by different developers. Also, did you play the handheld turn-based RPGs?
>>12034372I remember borrowing the first game for PSX from a friend at the time.Very fun and fitting game honestly.
I get that a gba, ps1 and ps2/gc/xbox/pc will already means 3 different imaginations of the game but iirc they made pc and all the console ports different. Haven't played them tho.
Chamber of Secrets on PC was my childhood.
>>12034891The PC versions are better, more fleshed out platformers. The console versions felt a bit more like a story book psuedo-adventure game and have a special charm to them.
>>12034381>I played first one on PCYup and it was amazing
Can /vr/ have a normal ape escape thread?
I love spats!
>>12033679Then do not enter Ape Escape threads at all, it really is that simple. No one thinks you're insightful or smart for shitting on a well liked franchise. You haven't tried talking about the games, you're here to tell me I shouldn't like a game because there isn't enough mechanical depth. You sound like a dipshit and you get defensive very quickly once you get called out for it.

i don't hate ape escape 2, but i really wish they got soichi terada back for the music

This is one of the most well designed, well paced, and well acted games I've ever played. If it had a better inventory system I'd say it was a 10/10. I started the series at Soul Reaver on the Dreamcast and really regret waiting so long to play this
It's a fun game and Kain is a fun character, but the game would've been a major pain without the Repel spell
I just played through all the Dragon Quest games for the nes and I loved the ability to customize your party in DQ3. Having true choice in party composition has made it one of my favorite JRPGs. The only other one I have played which is like this is Final Fantasy 1. A lot of other JRPGs I have played have a static party that you level up and maybe a plot point swaps one out which is ok I guess, but lacks compositional choice.What are some other JRPGs that have that same sort of freedom in customization?
>>12034982I can see that. I personally love the make do with what you have and resource management aspects.
>DQ makes Ultima but better>FF makes DQ but better>DQ makes FF but better
>>12035149What dq is better than Ultima iv or vii
>>12035191All of them honestly
The third scenario of Momotarou Densetsu Gaiden is highly inspired by DQ3 and you build your party by choosing from 8 different characters who each correspond to a different class (although there are 2 joke characters, basically the Goof-Off class was split in two, one character which is useless until lvl20 and one character which remains a joker throughout). You can change party members at will.It's in Japanese so you're probably not going to play it but I like to post about these games to raise awareness in hope someone translates them.
