>never released a single bad game>still failedits not fair, what the fuck does a software house have to do?
>>12548506>again, epyx would still be around if atari had given epyx their money The biggest insult added to injury done by Atari was them fucking up Epyx's original board design. The initial Lynx had better power efficiency and was more ergonomic. Atari's engineers redid the board (poorly) so they could claim the design was in-house, swapped components with shittier (but not a lot cheaper, typical penny wise, pound foolish Atari idiocy) ones, and decided to humor Tramiel's request for ambidextrous operation, even though it made the handheld bulkier.
Let's give the OG Chip's Challenge some respect. Microsoft version is a classic but this is where it all started.

What are your favorite retro shoot them ups? Mine is Blazing Lazers on TG16.
>>12559617Space Invaders.
>>12559617U.N. Squadron and Lords of Thunder.
>>12559617The Guardian Legend
>>1255961716 bit Compile games unironically. Gun Nac is the canonical choice although an NES game actually.
>>12559653U.N. Squadron is a fine choice because it's such a pretty looking game but it is quite difficult. Fair, mostly, but not easy.
Anyway, it's time for Rolling Ronny.
>>12559762You rang?
>>12559832Ah, an Amiga "hidden gem"
>>12559736The C64 version of this one is way better.
>>12559736A few Amiga "classics" like James Pond got console ports and were there exposed for the utter medocrities they were.
>>12559874This. BGM is also great.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHmteVl03w8
Name a franchise with more SOUL than 90s Sonic. Whether it’s Genesis, Saturn or Dreamcast, most of his games oozed soul / charm
>>12557365Yeah but Emerald Coast is 10/10 soul. Even the artwork of the game and music too. Everything about SA1 is great besides the atrocious voice acting and animations during so
>>12557654>the atrocious voice acting and animations during soThose only make the game even more soulful
>>12557324Eventually, yeah. But they won this particular battle.>>12557654I dunno, I prefer it to the more self aware tongue in cheek shit from newer games.

What made Peach's Castle seem so esoteric?

>>12559860You're judjing the things you've built your very imaginaation on to be evil, for what?Because some men who are evil are living their lives irresponsibly? Aren't you someone who can be responsible with anything?But, even though different people struggle with various things in life, they all have the potential to have a good heart.That's why this first world is a test, to filter out people who refuse to take responsibility for their actions. The next world will be a reward for people who truly want to be good.
Super Mario 64?
>>12548006Because mario 64 was probably the biggest moment of gaming hype in history and being a generation that will never ever experience cultural phenomenons they're fascinated by it and desperately trying to create the same feeling for themselves gen x/millennials got to actually experience.
>>12559851>schizoThen I'm not interested in your *wrong opinions*.
Reminder that you'll never again come home from school to find a crisp new Nintendo Power in the mailbox.
>>12559761what magazine can I subscribe to now?
I took my EGMs straight to the shitter because my bus ride was an hour long.
>>12559797>>>12559761 (OP)>what magazine can I subscribe to now?There aren't a lot of game magazines left to subscribe to. Surprised that PC Gamer is still around. Seriously, your main options are Edge , PC Gamer. or the retro magazines. https://pocketmags.com/us/search/results?term=gaming
>>12559761I was a nintendo fanclub newsletter subscriber before the ninterndo power launched, and I was sent the first issue for free in the mail. Got home from school one day and there is this massive magazine from nintendo. I read it front to back, back to front like 30 times overt the next 2 months.
>>12559761I was lucky if my dad wasn't home when I got there. Otherwise he'd get drunk and start beating the shit out of me and my brothers.
>what gamer wants? stupid sports games of courseNo wonder they failed, why not bring any of those actual games Japan SoA?
>>12557168>>12557170
>>12557147Saturn sports games were strictly inferior to what was available on PlayStation, even the multiplats were noticeably worse on Saturn. a major shift from the Genesis which had all the best sports games.
>>12556968Them having to brag about sports game should tell you enough
I hate how the anons are a bunch of uncoordinated dorksLike, every board hates sports
>>12556968>why do they include a sport game in sports games>from the division called Sega Sports
Which retro games make you the happiest?
I'm a simple man.
>>12539957I plug in snake rattle and roll and I am a little kid again. The game is pure refined happiness.
>>12557614There is some charm to distinctly of their time licensed games, as in, games based on IPs which had practically zero longevity, and there was only like a one year window during which such a game could ever be made. Sure maybe a modern Flintstones game would be a bit weird, but the series has had such staying power that it wouldn't be patently absurd, but something like Aaahh!! Real Monsters for Genesis/SNES could only have been made, and was only ever relevant, during about a two year window in the mid-90s. Nobody would make such a game after that time, and hardly anybody would bother to play it after that, short of maybe poor kids who got one from a Goodwill bin. Very much an of the era game, and something which evokes an even stronger feeling of nostalgia for the era than something like the Beavis & Butt-head games, which people will still play since the series is still fairly popular (and has had revivals)
>>12557614Some of them have been really good.Some have been a letdown.
>>12556431I forgot desu senpai.

Playing through 2 atm, enjoyable but it took me a bit to warm up to all the different combat changes (additions). I admit the charm of the first game isn't carried over but the gameplay itself is way more fluid/less jankyThat said, I thought the first was really solid once you familiarized yourself with the general mechanics. The difficulty curve was also solid: found every stage increasingly challenging but never controller-flinging level frustrating (probably not a hard game overall by any means but whatever)

Did you ever get swindled purchasing games back in the day? In grade school, my friend was hyping me on King of the Monsters saying it was super cool and what not. I saw the SNES version at Walmart one day, so I snagged it. Man, was I disappointed when I got home. That was the worst $20 I ever spent. I later tried to sell it at a pawn shop, but all they offered was $4 despite it being complete and barely used. My mom said no. I still have it to this day.
>>12543098Nah. It's pretty bad.
>>12547769I won't blame people falling for it. I used to buy vidya magazines from 91 to 95 and I think it's the ad I've seen the most.
>>12557121Looks nice but that's it.
>>12553636I'll never forget going to 4chan and being greeted by his graduation photo. Should still be in the site news page that nobody looks at.
>>12558887I wonder how he's doing these days.
Was this the first time Nintendo players saw actual 3D outside of Pixar films, etc?
>>12559131Star Fox came out before Toy Story
Pretty sure Star Fox 1 predates Toy Story.
Just stop liking this console already
nah it was this
>>12559845*urinates in your eyesocket*
How do you play this game without dying instantly?
>>12558050so if you're playing it on anything other than original hardware, are you" not playing it the intended way?">>12558898so don't you.
>>12557956>can't shoot upWhat if one of mega man's buster abilities was a syringe filled with heroin?
>>12557830Try shooting the flying blue thing first retard.

>>12556012I always found Chrome Gadget Zone's background oddly comforting. It reminds me of looking outside at night and seeing skyline of the city I lived on the outskirts of as a kid.
>>12559580>Chrome GadgetAbsolutely BASED competition mode levels appreciator.They are better than the main game levels.
Fuck, I never noticed how the moon's eye aligns with the mask's eye when the logo of the game appears.
>>12559826And now I’ll never unsee it. Thanks
