The thinking man's Tony Hawk's Pro Skater
I played the shit out of this game when it came out. It's a lot faster than THPS, challenging and good soundtrack.
>>12255007i fell down on this thing at an amusement park 25 years ago and my back landed against a bolt and it fucking hurt
>>12255602I swear to God, every time, EVERY SINGLE TIME I bring this game up on the Internet, someone says the logo looks like that. It's an abstract representation of rollerblade wheels you furfag enabling bastards
No OP, that's Thrasher: Skate & Destroy

Well, my xbox is dingI had it since I was a teenager as a gift from my grandma.Now the video output port shows severe ghosting and no longer can output anything beyond 480i.I took it to a local repair guy but he said the port has some plastic in it so he can't resolder it as it will melt. For me, it was truly a leap, when I saw Doom 3 and Thief DS with dust particles visible in light, I was amazed. Haven't felt the same kind of technological leap since.Post your memories relating to xbox
So what’s the best modchip these days? Modxo?
>>12249002>My experience talking other people was men in the 40's obsessed with modding it, I don't think they even played games but wanted to act as if they were beating the system.kek that was literally my friend's dad. I still have a disc case with a bunch of burned games with handwritten labels that he gave me years ago when I picked up my own chipped xbox
>>12249002>My experience talking other people was men in the 40's obsessed with modding itnothing has changed funnily enough
>>12252420The past participle of "write" is "written". Would you say "I handed him a wrote note"? Of course not.
>>12254272you're mom writed me a letter to say how good of a boy i am
>Remember...No Russian...
>>12252496Maybe in retardland.
>>12247214>>12247214Holy SHIT BALLS this is some amazing copium. The US never signed a single "non-expansion agreement" with Russia you retarded faggot, secondly, those countries that wanted to join NATO did so voluntarily, because of how fucking dogshit Russia was, and how they were defenseless after the collapse of the WARSAW pact.No major intelligence assessments, think tank reports, or geopolitical analyses from 2000–2001 forecasted a Russian invasion of Georgia. Searches for pre-2008 expert warnings yield results only from 2008 itself (e.g., Russian analyst Pavel Felgenhauer predicting war in June/July 2008 based on immediate buildups) or retrospective accounts. It was a fucking hole-in-one shot that your stupid rusky ass is being ass-pained about, that they predicted it so accurately.
>>12251723Yes, it is quite a revealing story>Recollections by former NATO Secretary General George Robertson (1999–2004), who met Putin shortly after he became president in 2000. Putin asked, "When are you going to invite us to join NATO?" Robertson replied that countries must apply, not be invited. Putin reportedly responded that Russia would not "stand in line with a lot of countries that don’t matter.">Russia never submitted a formal application to join NATO. NATO membership requires a country to apply, meet strict criteria (democratic reforms, civilian control of military, etc.), and gain unanimous approval from all members. No such process was initiated.Eye-opening to how narcissistic and entitled Putin was. He expected to be given invited to join, instantly instated, and put on equal merit status as the US, despite having been oppositional to the US and NATO for the last 50 years.Oh, and by the way, there is no credible evidence he was initially "open" to Russia joining NATO and then "declined." Bush's administration focused on improving Russia-NATO ties post-9/11 (e.g., creating the NATO-Russia Council in 2002 for cooperation), but Russian membership was not seriously pursued. Bush strongly supported NATO expansion eastward (e.g., pushing for Ukraine and Georgia in 2008, over Russian objections), but that's separate from Russia itself joining.
>>12253976Yes it absolutely did, it made multiple guarantees as a condition for the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact and the reunification of Germany. Why would NATO, a cold war *defensive alliance* of Western European nations still exist, let alone begin expanding eastward after the end of the cold war then even try to absorb nation in the Caucasus like Georgia? You're not going to win this argument and having a juvenile metly on the heckin mature vidya board won't help.>>12253981The US and Russia are both nuclear superpowers, think about what you're saying. NATO is (was) like an imperial arrangement.
>>12255261>Yes it absolutely did, it made multiple guarantees as a condition for the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact and the reunification of Germany.They were verbal, nothing was signed, ergo, you are wrong. Get over it. Secondly, NATO does not expand itself. Countries have to formally apply. If a bunch of former WARSAW nations wanted to join NATO, that's on Russia for not providing them with adequate defense.>You're not going to win this argument and having a juvenile metly on the heckin mature vidya board won't help.You already forfeited the argument with your lack of understanding of it.Also, NATO wasn't just designed to defend against the Soviets. It was also to bind the U.S. permanently into European security, prevent the re-militarization or unilateral dominance of any single European power, and provide a standing framework for collective defense and military coordination. Dissolving NATO would have removed US influence and coordination with European powers. Why the FUCK would the US ever do that, you flagrant retard? Trump spews a lot of hot air now about NATO, but his military policies are based on retarded liberal policies from 25 years ago. On top of all of this, with the violent collapse of Yugoslavia, ethnic wars in the Balkans, weak or failing post-communist states, and massive uncertainty about Russia’s long-term trajectory, NATO was indeed needed to bolster Europe more than ever. Even more than when the Soviet Union existed.>The US and Russia are both nuclear superpowers, think about what you're saying. NATO is (was) like an imperial arrangement.You're a retard who is throwing around buzz words with no understanding of what they mean. NATO is not imperialist in the slightest. It's voluntary, you fucking idiot.
Why don't companies release / finish old cancelled games more often?I absolutely understand that it's much easier said than done, along with the original developers having likely moved on, but there are so many promising games that were essentially done, but were victims of circumstance.I just find it weird that we have retro-inspired indies becoming mainstream, endless feux-retro nostalgia merchandising, HD Collections, yet we rarely see many true post-lifetime releases.
>>12255631Publishers saying no.
>>12255642>Pretty much all it needed were menus and some presentation stuff.SF2 was 100% finished back in the 90's. Those betas that leaked decades ago weren't representative of the completion of the actual game.
I get something that is basically a 1 level proof on concept that is barely a game, but its indeed retarded for them not to cash in on the retro gaymin frenzy. Namco should have absolutely released Splatterworld at some point, like in that recent Famicom Namco museum collection. Nintendo could make easy money from tendie fanatics if they polshed up their prototype nes versions of breath of the wild and kirby superstar and released them. It's pretty surprising though that they released the english Mother and Starfox 2 at all, so i will give them some credit.
>>12255631read thishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honne_and_tatemaeUnfinished projects have very complicated relationships for these companies, and might involve contacting old developers to understand how to finish the work. If the developer left under acrimonious terms (more common in Japan than you think) then the people in charge at the company will be very reluctant to get back in contact with them and ask them for a favor. But on the other hand if the *don't* do this it could also be considered somewhat dishonorable. So it's a matter that is best just to be avoided and forgotten.
>>12255957Back in the day you didn't have digital releases so there would be significant upfront costs in manufacturing the games, shipping them to stores and you also needed a marketing budget. On top of that, the market was smaller and there was only room for so many games in any release schedule.
For me, it's the PC Engine.Ft. homebrew classics like Atlantean, Mysterious Song, & Ultimate Rally Championship
>>12248405I see your Thunder Force and raise you Dino Force
I love this little guy
Is the Supergrafx compatible with the CD drive and the system cards? Would a hypothetical ultimate pc engine game be one that is on CD and requires both the arcade card and supergrafx?
I've been replaying the Steam version of the 1999 Aliens vs. Predator game lately, which today is commonly referred to as Classic 2000. Is anyone still playing the online in some capacity?
>>12253994I take my own screenshots and use imagemagick
>>12250652Holy shit, is this a hot take?
>>12255349> Biggest gripe I can see with it is the first few levels where hunting humans from treetops would’ve been such an easy layup to hook people into the gameplay, but somehow they made it awkward. Idk if that’s a controls thing or has to do with the shitty trees and jumping mechanics.You just named it. The treetops is very vaguely fun, but clearly lacking, and then they decide to rape you with turrets every 20 fucking seconds for absolutely no reason.
>>12250645I had no idea about this. I've only played the Gold Edition as well, but it does spark my curiosity to see the alternative as it may have been a better experience. Similar to how I only played Doom to version 1.2 and not any of the later or more refined versions, it is a surprise with the differences that makes preservation more tricky as each version has some quality worth preserving.
>>12255359I'm mentally retarded at programming, so imagemagick is a no-go for me.
The thinking man's Mario
>>12253750>not if you remember the boar he's riding on
>>12253669That isn't even the thinking man's Rayman.
Yeah it's called that because the whole time I'm thinking "why did they make this so shitty?"
>>12253219From the makers of "Sonic was never good because I run into things" comes "Crash was never good because I get hit or fall".
>>12255829Imagine if that faggit got to the late game where there's actually some shit. lol.
>port american game to a japan system>we need to add the guy who make rockman and make the music weird like the world is going to ending
>here's your ultimate reward for completing every scenario>a map full of land to help you build a megalopolis>oops, we forgot to re-enable presents for this scenario, now it sucks foreverThanks Nintendo.
So how do you get the Mario statue?
>>12255796Get a population of 500k.
>>12255737>I learned there's only one way to reach MegalopolisAnd, what way would that be?
>>12254991This is one of the very rare cases in which this retarded criticism is completely valid and relevant. SNES SimCity (poser got the title wrong by the way) is awesome but yeah it's waaaaaaay too slow once your city gets big.
do you feel guilty when you emulate
>>12252516>non-white societies are shame-basedThat'd explain Americans
>>12252071BASED and SOVL... care to show any of your stuff, anon? If you feel comfortable doing so, of course.
>>12254327I think we should ban libraries because they give people access to too many books. Readers would get a much richer experience from each book if they could only read fewer of them.
>>12254327Your life would not be improved if you were forced to play some NES shovelware title for 8 hours, instead of fluttering through the pages of roms and giving each a taste.
>>12253009My console/computer collection is packed away in boxes under my dad's house. Since emulation is good enough, I haven't felt the need to dig them up.

Are there any benefits of using an old computer box to play retro PC games or am I just better off using a modern one? My current box is a Dell. It has a motherboard inside, with a processor from Intel, as well as memory, a north bridge chipset, a south bridge chipset, a battery, BIOS ROM chip, pin jumpers, DIP switches, PCI slots, a GPU graphics card board, a sound board from a company called Sound Blaster, a CD-ROM for playing DOS-Roms, a heat sink, 2 fans as far as I can see, a floppy disk drive, a power supply unit, a PATA IDE SSD disk drive, LED lights on the front BUS driver, and a power button.
>>12248773IBM PC was always shit so it's not worth it, also massive power waste for a fraction of the power you could get. Actually the bad thing is software, not hardware. Modern windows sucks and chugs the hardware.
>>12255358why did you line up ddr1 memory next to a ddr2 board?
>>12255719Good catch. I just grabbed what was nearby and thought "yeah, that should fit" when I took the pic. I have a lot of those Corsair sticks (16) for I have no idea, so I thought they were from that old system. Here, these probably work with this board as I left them in the same box.
>zoomies have started buying gramma's old PC to play old gamesyou can't make this shit up, holy moly
>>12248773The benefit of a decicated box is you can install specialty software like steamos/cachyos/bazzite or anything else and optimize the computer for that purpose.I use my primary computer for CAD and 3d printing in addition to games. I don't do any programming anymore.
Which classic Pokemon games are worth playing, anons?I missed out on the games as a kid, despite really liking the show.
>>12254572>Get a friendWhere do i buy one of these?
>>12254306the main games and snap
>>12254306Honestly they're all worth at least trying up until heart gold. Including spin offs.
>>12254306All of them, people will performatively hate the ones that came out after they felt they aged out of the series but as someone who got into it as an adult all of them before the Switch are good.
>>12254879yet you use the same guys every time and refuse to use anything else

>>12249350Didn't we have a thread like a month or two ago where some anon recommended over a hundred NES games with individual screenshots?
Turns out, ten years after the Retrobright fad from a decade ago, has only accelerated the yellowing of plastics and made them even more brittle than just leaving them alone. What more is there to really add?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n_WpjseCXA
The lesson to learn here is stop trying to preserve electronics, just figure out how to digitize everything and quit wasting your time and energy.
>>12252603I also remember this. Which means OP is a true blue faggot, not surprising.
>>12252659Your pic still gets me. The narcissist who thought they had the skill to do this, should be poked with a hot poker repeatedly in the eyes for eternity.

No. As far as console casings go, let them age gracefully I say
