What the fuck, they could've easily port this to Genesis or SNES in 1995 and sell more copies than on 3DO.Yes, it came out on PS1 eventually but was too late.
>>12068890I don't think SNES could run it. Even the craptacular ARM in the 3DO was way more powerful than SNES's 3.58 MHz shitpile. I don't think Genesis's 7.5 MHz 68k could run it well either. Maybe the CD's 12.5 MHz CPU could, but IIRC Sega CD had been quietly dropped as a standalone platform in the West after 1994, and was mostly receiving enhanced Genesis ports (and the customary FMV shovelware). Which is unfortunate, since Sega CD had a mouse and a RAM cart, so it would've been great for more complex games (one of the few Western games to fully utilize its features is the Eye of the Beholder port).
>>12068938Why would this game warrant a fast CPU? For enemy AI?There's a lot hex wargames on both 16-bit consoles
>>12068953>For enemy AI? I'm pretty certain Panzer General uses more computations compared to earlier wargames. You wouldn't want to look at a "Calculating Results" prompt for 1 minute whenever you hit End Turn.
>>12068974>You wouldn't want to look at a "Calculating Results" prompt for 1 minuteI wouldn't mind to be honest, if I could play this on my Genesis back when I couldn't afford a PC or a new console. But I can see how this could be a potential QA issue.Advanced Daisenryaku had a long ass "enemy turn" screen but japs were probably more okay with it.
>>12068890Love this game on PC. Are the console versions good?
For those of you that were around to experience the birth of online multiplayer in the 90s and early 2000s, what are your memories and go-to games around that time?
>>12068596I remember ignoring it for the most part. If I'd been into dealing with other humans in real time then I wouldn't have been so interested in video games to begin with. If the AI for computer-controlled opponents were good enough to surpass humans then I would NEVER want to play a multiplayer competitive game with strangers.Occasionally I did get into some FPS or another though. I loved Forsaken deathmatch (over Kali) and Unreal Tournament. I also played through Diablo II, albeit mostly by myself. Oh and I was into the Sacrifice multiplayer scene during the short time when that was flourishing.
>>12068596Fucking Surf Maps. What the fuck was the appeal of them?
>>12068596It was great. Text chat, voip, everybody talking shit without a care in the world.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asgtIKR3CeA
>>12069356Also my go-tos were Goldsrc and Source games and mods. Nothing better.
My dad was in a Delta Force clan around that time and it was fun to watch them play. They all knew each other for the most part but I think they met one of the guys through playing. He lived up in the mountains with a bunch of kids so he loved to get the guys who had kids to bring us up to hang out, a very beautiful and picturesque home and setting with a pond. He died in an accident involving a tractor trailer while driving down into the city to meet up with dad and friends; they all only got to meet up twice.
Post only the best handheld /vr/ games ITT
>>12056704Most replayable and comfiest reality-escaping game ITT coming through
This game is way better than it deserves to be.
Post games that are especially developed to be played with a girlfriend (female XX DNA)
>>12055632Literally any game that doesn't have a lot of blood and gore and shit like that because universally women don't like that. I've been playing Soulcalibur 3, Smash Bros Melee, Rumble Roses, and Sakura Wars 5 (where she romances Gemini Sunrise because they're both redheads lol) with my gf along with (not retro) Stellar Blade and Nier:Automata (where we pass the controller to each other every 10 or so minutes assuming we aren't in combat or whatever. Also with mods/modifiers that make Eve and 2B's hair red). >>12055770Sounds like you date stupid whores and you are a fucking faggot for having such garbage taste in women. All my gfs were into fighting games (granted not the tourney shit. Soulcalibur, Melee and the like). It's the perfect way to lead up to playful angry sex with a shitton of cute banter along the way.>>12055958You and your gf are cool.>>12056040Pretty much.
>>12066613TMNT III is also god tier. Kind of underrated/overshadowed by IV
Any good co-op for PS1/PS2?
Is there any reason to care about Atari ST? It feels like a bland late 80s 16-bit computer, except it is not IBM-compatible for some reason. It has no unique interesting features, except for built-in MIDI ports which were used historically for serious music production and daisy-chained LAN parties, but nowadays nobody is going to emulate the ST for that.
>>12065816well shit lol
Not exclusive but a riveting geopolitics sim where you can fund rebel groups to destabilize your opposition and facilitate military coups while avoiding nuclear megadeaths. How cute is that?
>I will now rescue your princess
>>12069246I always wonder why Arthur is half naked with the princess in the graveyard.
>>12069254Yeah imagine Interchanging Graphics using that Format
>>12069246I wonder if Hip Tanaka got her name because she has a wide hip or because she's a large hip enthusiast.
>>12069259I immediately realized she's jaking him off
>>12069246Erm that's a little objectifying... not sure if I'm comfortable with that
I get what most of the stages are. Metal Man has a factory. Flash Man has a flashing ice block warehouse. But what is Wood Man's?
I'll tell you what this place isn't.....a lube factory.
>>12065925Well *I* didn't know it. So there. Nyah.
>>12068040who are you
>>12065340A nature preserve of cybernetically enhanced trees, or treeborgs, which is a popular destination for campers.I surmised this because Keiji Inafune was inspired to make this level from a camping trip in the woods.
>>12069296>treeborgsI need to make sure to remember that one
One of my favorite things to do in games it glitch hunting and playing around with ones that others have found. I rarely see much discussion about this stuff outside of niche communities like speedrunning or whatever. A personal example I remember was finding numerous OOB areas in Resident Evil 4, a little interesting note there is basically every room in the game has a hidden cache of ammo and some other odd items OOB you can pick them up and I don't know what purpose they serve but it sure is neat.Post your own stories or knowledge or whatever, as long as it involves vidya glitches.
>>12066320it wasn't like a bsod, the game froze and the ingame sprites remained but the background went blue and with some light blue kanji tiled across the screen. please tell me I'm not the only one this happened to
if you stand here in Chrono Trigger you'll have to reach for the reset button.nice quality control nintendo
>>12059171https://youtu.be/P82fNT4bQNg?t=47I recently played through Ape Escape and found out about the piss easy infinite jump glitch with the slingshot through a youtube comment when I was on the very last stage of the game lol. I ended up using it once or twice when cleaning up stages for 100%.>>12061891yeah crazy how easy it is to do
>>12062046>>12062041Wasn't there some 'bitchin glitchin' on the online modes of THPS games? (I think I'm thinking of 4 in particular).
>>12068350How'd you do it? Pull the cartridge out a little bit?
https://gofile.io/d/sY71aeIt's not every day you get a prototype of a first party Nintendo game, especially not one where basically everything about it is different to the final game.Also packaged on Disk 2 is a character editor for people who like tinkering.Enjoy :)
>>12068812You could just link to the original source, you know:https://hiddenpalace.org/Battle_Battle_League_(1992_prototype)Joy Mech Fight is a top five Famicom game for me, so this is exciting news. To my understanding, the development lore behind this game is that Nintendo held a game design contest / seminar / proto-game-jam as a way to recruit recent collage grads as future talent for the company. The winning entry was adapted into Joy Mech Fight and published by Nintendo. My assumption is that this proto is what the original developers submitted to Nintendo's contest (hence why the title screen says "Nintendo Game Seminar"). Its been a while since I've looked into this so this might not be true, but I remember reading that the original proto was developed by two college students in the span of only two weeks. With that in mind, this proto is very impressive.
>>12068886Never knew that backstory, thanks for sharing anon
interesting. I suppose it's on FDS, in 1992, because that was easier than to make homebrew carts?
>>12068812>>12068886How did a random furfag from bluesky get his hands on this?
>>12069339They have a lot of time and money on their hands from unemployment benefits.
>that will be $9,000 plus shipping, plus tax, plus fees, plus tariffs, plus tip.This /vr/ market is completely in the hands of for profit speculators, not actual enthusiasts
>>12068483Graded video games are a scam. The only stuff that should cost this much or higher are things like Nintendo World Championship Gold carts.WATA has been proven time and time again to be running an illegal speculation scheme with Heritage Auctions. There is enough evidence of this at this point that even typing "WATA Heritage Auctions Scam" into google will get you a full multiparagraph write up from the AI.
Only regards buy used games that are no longer released when piracy is an option.
>>12069078Based WATA.
>>12068483You KEEP posting this.
DQ8 running on Sega DreamcastDreamcast homebrew scene is thriving.
>>1206255199% of the worthwhile DC games got ported to the GCN
>>12069208Crazy Taxi 2, Bangai-O, Cosmic Smash, Jet Set Radio, Cannon Spike, Virtual-On, Sega Rally 2, ChuChu Rocket, Soul Reaver, Tokyo Xtreme Racer 1+2, Metropolis Street Racer, and basically any fighting game aren't on GameCube
>>12065929idk anon, I'm not shitting on the fans' work. But these games are made with deadlines and new technology. It's not just because fans gain new knowledge about how technology works, knowledge that came from these “lazy” developers, and also because they don't have deadlines to work to that make their work superior. I know fans do it for free, but retroactively, even if they put in the effort, the scenario wouldn't be any different.
>>12067290>Why do people climb mountains?because they're dumb
>>12068823>who fucking cares, wish talented people would work on something worthwhile.Grrr...the talented people (which I am not) should work on what IIIIII want and not what theyyyy want!You're pathetic.
Why did 95% of the greatest games of all time release on these four systems? If you had to pick a 5th to stand with them what would it be?
OoT and SM64 are literally the only games worth playing on the N64. Everything else on the system is overhyped first-party shovelware but in terms of greatest games of all time, probably yes. It deserves to be in this image.
Cute how nintentroons act like their few good games are generational masterpieces. They wouldn't even be in the top 10 in the PS1 library
>>12068413Is Banjo Kazzooie shovelware to you?Are Mario Kart 64 and Diddy Kong Racing shovelware to you?Are the Mario Party games shovelware? The Pokemon Stadium games?

>>12068425That's the funniest thing about it. Same with SNES, the "best games" would be average on Mega Drive at best.
>>12066679>If you had to pick a 5th to stand with them what would it be?gba is pretty underrated, there's so many good games on there.
Just finished this masterpiece on the GAMECUBE. Amazing how much it holds up despite being two decades old by this point.Almost every aspect of the game is great except its SLOW AF. I had to turn animations off 1/3rd of the way through because otherwise the game becomes slow as molasses.What did /vr/ think of it?
>>12067049Its the only planned two part game within the series which is where the neat foreshadowing stuff comes from. I remember people figuring out the identities of Bertram & the Black Knight before Radiant Dawn was announced because they saw the stats were identical to the unused Renning & Zelgius units & realized the portraits matched. Though Bertram had a bit more foreshadowing & was something you could figure out through deduction if you'd been paying attention.
>>12067440Those reveals caught me off guard.Overall I kinda treated the story as just some anime slop, up until Radiant Dawn where I couldn't help but be impressed by the complexity of the themes portrayed. Daein not being wholly evil, laguz not being wholly noble and wise, Elincia losing political power to internal scheming, and all that. Surprisingly good.
Was there day 1 back in the day. Never got to play RD unfortunately.
>>12067463you do get daein not being totally evil in PoR too. ashnard himself seems like a complete psycho but one of your own daien-born characters mentions how ashnard allowed commoners to get into positions of power as long as they had the skills to do so. actually kind of funny ike has the same world view as ashnard. ashnard is just more extreme about it. there's also the whole jill situation too. on the subject of RD though, i'm surprised to see someone praise aspects of its story for once and not just rag on it because of the blood pact thing. good post.
>>12069267>ashnard allowed commoners to get into positions of power as long as they had the skillsOh yeah that was a good bit. There were Daein recruits in PoR, I think I just liked getting the perspective of a faction that got fucked over by the first game's hero's actions and has to rebuild their home continent. It takes a bit of balls to attempt that, knowing the audience likely has loyalty left on the other sides.On the blood pact, I just figured it was a kid friendly, fantasy portrayal of political epstein style blackmail or something.

What Retro Games do you talk about with your coworkers?
>>12068970at least there are games that are good
>>12068903This, if girl I talk about books and art
Every now and then they talk about the ps5 or whatever and I go "pfft, play nes/genesis/snes"
>>12068902Whatever I happen to be playing when they ask what I'm playing. Usually they haven't heard of it so to find common ground I mention that not long prior to whatever I'm playing now, I was playing a Pokémon game. Everybody's heard of that. (The game in question was Mystery Dungeon and I've never played any other Pokémon game, nor do I intend to, but that's close enough to get the job done.)
>>12068902love talking to my coworkers about the spectrum zx
