how do you find other fellow retro games fans? do you have a retro community in your area?

i had a bunch of good CRT monitors but ended up selling them to scalpers because all my social circle saw them as useless junk and convinced me to threw them away, i had nobody to reinforce me in my hobby and the reasons i had them to begin with

I don't really seek them out because I don't care that much for socializing but there are demo scene events and other retro gatherings and I see advertisements for them in the physical retro computing / hacker culture magazines I read. Chances are you have something similar in your area if you just look for it. Yeah they often revolve around demo stuff and hardware fetishization but there's usually gaming related activity too even when the events are not specifically about games.

>the hardware was too complicated for most devs to really take advantage of
the hardware was flawed and should have never been released. i think the people that engineered it tested how it would work if you used just one cpu at a time and didn't think of how you'd interact with multiple cpus at the same time sharing memory. this ended up giving a programmer massive performance penalties. it's fucking comical that nobody saw this as a problem until machines landed in the laps of developers trying to make games for this thing. also it's not like atari designed the hardware either, they bought a work in progress project from a bunch of british faggots.

Surprisingly comfortable controller. Just looking at pictures, I didn't expect the thumbstick to be constructed how it is, but I like it. It might be a tad touchy but from a few initial tests it seems manageable if you don't fall into modern gaming habits and fling the stick fully in one direction.

What games should I try to play with it?
>>
Pro tip put some sewing machine oil or some grease under the stick to make it feel good as fuck. Any of the first person boomer shooters are amazing with it.
>>
>>12255446
>What games should I try to play with it?
Nights Into Dreams and Burning Rangers might as well require it. Powerslave, Duke Nukem 3D and Quake all make great use of it too. Shining Force III actually feels great with the stick, even though it doesn't technically matter since it's a turn based game. Panzer Dragoon Zwei plays best on it.
>>
Oh yeah so with panzer dragoon 2, you gotta change some setting in the controls to avoid a bug. The game technically supports the flight stick and not the 3d pad, so by default, the game will random fire your missles and waste them. If you change one of the control settings, it's a perfect experience
>>
The analog stick single-handedly makes Baroque playable

First game I booted up when I got the 3d controller was Nights Christmas. so good.

Why did Kid Icarus never catch on like Mario or Zelda ?
11 replies omitted. Click here to view.
>>
No one wanted to play as some gay kid with wings
>>
Because it sucks. In the first few minutes of Mario, you get acclimated to the controls, stomp on Goombas, grab a mushroom... first few minutes of Zelda you get a sword and start exploring some caves, kill some enemies and grab some ruppees...

In the first few minutes of Kid Icarus you go into some empty rooms, shoot at some annoying flying enemies that are hard to hit with your dinky arrows, get gangraped by tiny grim reapers (who the hell decided this game needed stealth elements?) and get killed by the bottom of the screen.

Maybe there's a cool game in there somewhere; I'll never know since I'll never bother playing past the second level.

This game is awesome. Get hammers to save your stone buddies, scary Reapers, guys that steal your stuff, Eggplant Wizard dungeons...Medusa...it's great.

Resident Evil 1 remake and The Twin Snakes really shouldn't be called "remakes". All of the negative ideas associated with that term (that are actually bad) are not present in them. They are alternate artistic treatments of the same premises and technical showcases. Not attempts to pave over history with something more accessible to retarded cretins. The Twin Snakes has cutscenes directed by Ryuhei Kitamura, with input from Hideo Kojima (who told him to make them more his own rather than try to recreate the original game).

Technology was not frozen at this time. You could do radically different things after a few years passed. There was great novel value in making the same scene with new tech. They were not breaking existing works into the monogame frame. Anybody who hates these particular remakes I have to take for a hysteric who can't appraise the issue clearly.

kojambo outsourced a remake of mgs to some canucks, they basically shoved mgs1 levels into mgs2, downgraded the graphics and controls because cube couldn't run it, cutscenes were directed by some watchowski wannabe jap and it only has a shitty english redub even in japan. all of this to put snake in fucking smash bros.
