Friends I propose a Crazy Taxi score contest, in the thread we will decide which one to play, and regularly post scoresHere's the best I've done, which felt amazing but I know I can go even higher DON'T TURN AWAY COME OUT SWINGING
>>12188754Crazy Taxi is actually fun to play, unlike shmup slop.
my score was done on my dreamcast and i dont have a camera but the score was like 56.xxx.xx im gonna half to plug it see the exact numbers>>12189127>>12189253shmups are fun working on a espgaluda 1cc
I should plug in my Dreamcast again and have a crack at this, great idea for a thread OP.I could playthe steam version, but I remember the DC version being better and not needing mods for my Offspring music.Can't remember what my top score is, but I was able to get Crazy Class at least once.
>>12189253In a shmup we have autofire and no need to switch constantly manual gears to reverse end drive.I would like to love crazy taxi if automatic gear will be an option!

What comfy retro games are you playing in this weather?
>>12182552Super Mario World needs more snow levels.
Test
Descent II. Newer mods like Enemy Within. Pic related.
>>12182552I'm playing Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World.SMW is one of my favorite games and I've played through it dozens of times. So I thought I'd try something different and play the GBA version instead.And...I hate it! The screen crunch activates my claustrophobia and the sound is rotten. It's still Super Mario World at the end of the day but man it's not great. There's not a whole lot in the way of extras either which is too bad because some new content could have turned it into something worth playing.Also playing Ys The Oath in Felghana which I consider a game with a small cozy world but I'm not sure if that's /vr/
Animal crossing gamecube (on wii)
>Critics have called this the greatest JRPG everIt's...fine? What the fuck.
Hmmm thinking about it I didnt do the Ex dungeon of 2.I think you need to beat the game which I did but I dont think I ever found it.
>>12178073lul did i skip this phase or did i repress it
fatlus hasnt made a worthwhile game since megaten 2 for NES. the sheer definition of weebslop for incels.
>>12189751>The game has a nasty glitch where your damage can easily overflow and you will only do single digit damage.wonder if they fixed that in the ps1 port
>>12189530there's a part where they tell you to look for a demon who's rampaging and another demon who's a boss. what you have to do for the rampaging demon is enter an enclosed gate that doesn't look like you can enter it and step on a tile jutting out. those tiles are how you speak to people on the overworld in general btw, i don't know if they were in smt1 but they are here.
The peak of Anime + Video Games.
>>12190010Two janitor applications later and still nobody really cares to moderate, I think /vr/ is fucked
>>12190010>>12190059I jusy hope it does not go back to a walll of shit samefagged threads about one interest groups feelings
Super Famicom had better anime licensed games.Dragon Ball, Ranma, Sailor Moon got some genuine fun games back in the 4th gen but in PS1 is nothing but duds, except for DBZ Legends (also on Saturn).Saturn has better anime games than PS1 for sure as well.PS1 does have Ghost in the Shell though, and it does have some other fun ones here and there but the bad ones are an overwhelming majority whereas on 4th gen it was more on the ok to good games range.
>>12190059don't you have to send in a photo of your id to become a janitor? wouldn't mind applying if it weren't for that, no one in their right mind would do that regardless of site unless job hunting, but especially not for a a place like here.
>>12189918Happy thirty anniversary of your asshole split wide open by the BPSC
>27,000 KNOWN games>estimated tens of thousands of homebrew games we'll never seekneel to the greatest 8-bit computer there will ever be.
>>12182662>That kid who just learned the word "disingenuous"
>>12183128Most of the spectrum arcade cab port games were pretty goodhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pkws-kT-oc
>>12189338arcade ports were never the speccy's strength. I had an atari 8-bit computer as well and its arcade conversions were near perfect.But stuff like Dragontorc, Tau Ceti, Elite, Knight Lore etc... all the home grown British games, 'arcade adventures', imaginative simulation type games - it had none of those since it was a primarily American system.
>>12189685That's true enough, I loved text adventures and strategy games like the ccs games, lom and the stuff like dun darach, saboteur and the pawn but the spectrum was able to scratch the arcade itch well with ports like>>12189338and Penetrator https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQCDmFVqwZ0lightforcehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbXu3pseYwUrobocophttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n37Sy71Cmmketc etc which there were loads of, galga and invaders clones, etc etc
>>12189338I love that with the right knowledge the color clash can be kept to a minimum.
they don't want you to know this is what a heavy weapons guy looked like in 1999time to talk about (Quake TF, Team Fortress Classic, Unreal Fortress, Quake 3 Fortress, Fortress Forever, etc.)
>>12189947do you actually mean source or goldsrc?
>>12189898To be fair, back in 1999 most popular FPS were based on sci-fi or fantasy settings, like Quake, UT, so a grounded military shooter must have felt fresh at the time
>>12189947FF is on source and it's good THOUGH
best thing about FF, is that pyro is not that useless now
>>12190104fortressone takes some balance cues from ff even
What's the rarest/most expensive game you own a copy of?
>>12182815Persona 2? Killer7? Symphony of the Night or Kuon or maybe Rule of Rose or Haunting Ground. I dunno I don't keep up with old game prices. Only games I own are the ones I bought when I used the system they come from.
>>12190028>Only games I own are the ones I bought when I used the system they come from.now there's a new concept
>>12190020I have that too, only one of my Earthbounds is CIB.
Canadian copy of Chibi-Robo. Got it in a close-out reseller store where they had hundreds of copies in those big plastic barrels that Walmart usually sells DVDs inHave never seen a copy online for sale ever
It's probably a Pokémon Heart Gold complete set. I'll consider selling it at some point.
.
>>12187492Eh, at least I don't waste every day of my life spamming and seething about a console/company I don't like Spending a few minutes per week to sigh at the lamentful state of this board doesn't take me that much time
>>12183676Avoid those harsh cleansers and Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. It is sort of like sandpaper and wet sanding removing a layer of plastic. You can keep the printing at the top of the controller. I just use some Pine-Sol and isopropyl alcohol with simple paper towels, q-tips, and a cheap toothbrush. As you can see, the printing at the top of the controller still is pristine and sharp without damage.
>>12185908Just like supporting migrants who bring their cancer and don't want to integrate into your culture.
The big giveaway that N64/Cube lovers secretly deep down know their console is shit is that they always have to bring up Sega Saturn out of nowhere for no reason even when discussing entirely different console generations.Like they won't even dare mention Sony ANYTHING, they just pivot to the failed console that somehow managed to have more games than the N64/cube combined.
>>12184016There needs to be a cut off and it should be the 6th gen. Philosophically Gaming fundamentally change forever after the 6th generation
When was the first time you remember actively playing an older game instead of a new one when you were a kid?As a kid I had an Xbox and PC, but mostly used the later to emulate once I discovered emulation, bye bye modern stuff that all was so samey
>>12186297I've used doom on the xbox and pc as a pallet cleanser ever since the mid 90s.
>>121896867th gen was good, possibly peak and the last physical media that had QA before release and before buggy fix it later digital releases, the prevelance of brown was due to the GWOT being based in the sandbox and the impact 911 11 had on the average US consumers burning desire to kill arabs for a decade
>>12189659>gets BTFO>trots out the same tired zoomer/youtube buzzword-laden screed because he knows he has no responseyou reek of such immense insecurity that you feel the need to impress anonymous people on this website by acting like you were some ebin contrarian calling all your friends "plebs" for thinking new consoles aren't impressive. i'm honestly embarrassed for you kiddo. people have always been excited for the next big thing. companies knew that and would exploit it to the max. there's heaps upon heaps of old BBS (you probably don't know what those are, think of them like pre-Internet forums) posts where people were beyond elated for 3D home consoles. i know because i was lucky enough to have a dad who worked at a university that was able to procure an old (for the time) 2400 baud modem (something else i know you don't know about, google it) for home use. again, i guarantee (You) were no different. i'm also older than you. now please stop acting out like this before i'm forced to contact your mom about your behavior and deposit another load into her as punishment
>>12189834Too long. Did not read. Stay mad.
>>12186297Im from a poor family so you might say I've always been a retro gamer although I had an original Xbox and a ps2 when they were still the current thing
Why did poke mania start seriously slowing down around the release of these
>>12189654i like fried anime chikken.
>>12189041they're just elemental golems. big woop
>>12185724read the rules? GBA games are /vr/ for a long time now. it's the /vp/ nutcases who keep wanting to talk about modern pokermans and "pedo" dramashit here.
Hype only lasts for so long. Just like Mortal Kombat or Sonic mania had a couple or so years window, same with Pokémon. There's no drive to get in on something right now if it's already been around for years when it initially exploded like wild fire.
>>12190067black and white aren't gba gamesif you knew how to follow a reply chain, you'd know that's what was being talked about
What's the retro game that blew up your mind? For me it was Oblivion back in 2006
>>12188126Ill never understand how people find this shit playable, much less good. all my friends were obsessed with it when it came out. what is the fucking appeal>generic boring setting>dogshit generated dungeons that all look the same>terrible combat>endless boring fetch quests>terrible level scaling that removes any sense of progression>pointless, generic plot no one cares about, even people who like the gameWRPG and openslop drones really are some of the most tasteless plebs around, its incredible. "woooow its such a big world (that I will fast travel as much as possible in to avoid having to watch a fucking walking simulator for 30 minutes in between fetch quests)"
GTA III
>>12190057You need to get laid bro, pronto
>>12190057Back then the only kinds of RPGs I had ever seen were JRPGs. Suddenly there's this RPG where NPCs feel more alive, you can go anywhere, do anything, it's mind blowing. I installed a bunch of mods, did a bunch of dungeons and side quests, got halfway through the main quest and realized it's all boring and empty. But for a few hours there it was mind blowing.
>>12190057the dark brotherhood questline is ludo. besides that yeah its not that great. its for immersion fags and minmax autists.
Evening gentlemenLast night I beat FF7 for the first time and it knocked my socks off. The music, the characters, the backgrounds, the city of midgar and the wider world you explore, how the materia system lets you swap builds on the fly, it was incredible. What game in the series should I play next? Never been much of a JRPG guy, only other one I've played was the super mario one for the snes that I dropped about 2/3rds in.Also general Final Fantasy thread I suppose.
>>12188756this and then if you want an older one try 5 and if you want a newer one try 9
R + U
>>12189683Man I wanna titfuck her.
>>12189416Just... fuck.

https://github.com/ZethRyder/Disk-ExpansionWanted to share this here since I don't think it's something many people know we got from the Gigaleak years ago. The original Master Quest dungeon layouts meant for 64DD circa 1999/2000. Turns out the MQ we got was actually a third revision of the games dungeons and this is what we were supposed to get had it released on DD. I played through it recently and I think its way better than what they ended up going for on the Gamecube version. It goes even harder on weird and obscure game mechanics and even makes some of the oddities of the MQ we did get make sense(like all the gravestones in the Deku Tree and the extra key in the Water Temple). There are some genuinely insane puzzles in here especially if you go out of your way to get the gold skulltulas in the dungeons. I had a lot of fun with it and it kind of made me sad to realize that the MQ we got pulled a lot of punches, I never found MQ to be "more difficult" just slightly different. This genuinely is more difficult and I ended up stumped numerous times. As a heads up some stuff is the same as final MQ here, either because data was missing/never made or because they just decided to stick to these original layouts for the final game. Either way really cool to have what's essentially a third official version of the game. I absolutely recommend playing this over the final MQ.
>>12177425Got footage?
>>12186337Idk what to tell you man. Maybe that was the plan before OoT itself was finalized and shipped but the 64DD handling code on the cartridge literally cannot do anything like that. The functionality has been decompiled and there was even an uncompiled version of the disk handling file in the gigaleak. It is physically impossible to add entirely new dungeons and areas to the released version of OoT via a 64DD expansion disk because it wasn't coded to do so. This is just a fact. Miyamoto probably didn't have any idea what the fuck he was talking about or was just making shit up. It wouldn't be the first time, he did the same shit with the Mario 128 tech demo when he insisted that was still a separate game from Mario Sunshine that was coming out despite it obviously just being a tech demo. Nintendo actually just lies all the fucking time whenever they talk about development of their games there's a lot of stuff from Iwata Asks interviews thats just blatantly false even though it's coming from the mouths of people that worked on these games. I'm not even saying they do it on purpose or accusing them of being intentionally malicious but it just is what it is. You really can't take shit Miyamoto, a guy that doesn't even really do fucking anything technical or important on these games anyway, said 25 years ago as gospel. We have the cold hard game code as well as literal source assets to look at these days and it's cut and dry. Ura Zelda is and only could have been Master Quest.As for it not being on TCRF, I went and dug around and actually found it on there. It just wasn't on the Master Quest page like I expected it to be: https://tcrf.net/Development:The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time/Alternate_Scene_SetupsThe documentation clearly got abandoned though lol, it only covers a bit of the Deku Tree. Layouts were found for every dungeon besides Ganons Castle, which turns out the 64DD handling file found in the gigaleak didn't have an entry for.
>>12182879You're right, but this doesn't change the fact that initially Ura Zelda was going to be far more ambitious and the devs wanted to use the DD features for much more elaborate things. I get you want to be a realistic party pooper informing people of the facts, but the DD features were greatly cut down from the initial plans.
>>12177425>The original Master Quest dungeon layouts meant for 64DD circa 1999/2000. Turns out the MQ we got was actually a third revision of the games dungeons and this is what we were supposed to get had it released on DD.Does anyone actually care? It was a game for 7 years olds who could not manage keyboards without drooling on them and would get nightmares from silent hill.
>>12189747I got nightmares when I first playes via a rental copy and immediately ran into the Castle Town ReDeads.
never played a sonic game, which ones are worth playing and why?
>>12189245I also believe Adventure 1 is the only 3D Sonic where anything like this happens:
>>12189245>>12189246>>12189289>>12189292Wtf everyone told me the Adventure games are ugly as shit? Have I been lied to??
>>12189519nta but to be fair they're probably talking about the vanilla versions of the latest releases, of which SA1 (if my count is right) a port of a port of a port of a port of a port of a rerelease, and things get "filtered" (lost) in each port. It's one of the few games where mods are practically a requirement--all in service of making it look more like the older versions. Sega won't do anything about it because fans took care of it for them and most fan modders are two-faced bitches who will complain if official releases that make money resemble "their" work.
>>12189617>>12189519The ports are all serviceable. They're uglier (or in the case of the Sky Deck level, outright ugly), but none of the ports turn it into a bad game.
>>12189617get BetterSADX for the steam release. it's what i use. restores them to their DC graphics glory
