>>12429654Great, this faggot is at it again.
History has redeemed the Saturn
What happened?
>>12427784
>From a 2002 Interview with Ezra Dreisbach - the lead programmer on Saturn's Powerslave>Matt: How did you feel about the two platforms, Saturn and PSX?>Ezra: I did do some work on the PSX later. After Saturn Quake was done I did a quick port of it to the PSX. Lobotomy was really hurting for cash at that point, and I hoped that we could get some publisher to sign us up to do PSX Quake. But for some reason, we couldn't get anyone to go for it. Lobotomy folded soon after.The most striking thing about the PSX port was how much faster the graphics hardware was than the Saturn. The initial scene after you just start the game is pretty complex. I think it ran 20 fps on the Saturn version. On the PSX it ran 30,but the actual rendering part could have been going 60 if the CPU calculations weren't holding it up. I don't know if it would have ever been possible to get it to really run 60, but at least there was the potential.>Other than that, it would have looked identical to the Saturn version. Except for some reason the PSX video output has better color than the Saturn's.>So I know something about the PSX. And really, if you couldn't tell from the games, the PSX is way better than the Saturn. It's way simpler and way faster. There are a lot of things about the Saturn that are totally dumb. Chief among these is that you can't draw triangles, only quadrilateralsSaturn bro... I thought lobotomy were our guys...
>>12431147Learn english before you try to shitpost
>>12433374You are excused.
>>12430995I still think the games were still worthy showpieces for the Saturn. As both the PS1 and Saturn went along, even back then, it was accepted that the PS1 was more capable and easier for developers in making polygonal "3D" games. Their games did show off their abilities to work with the complicated hardware of the Saturn and still push boundaries. Respect to them for their great work.
>>12430995>for some reason the PSX video output has better color than the Saturn's.The "some reason" would be the video encoder. And i highly doubt that. Because the Saturns RGB out is crisp and flawless. But thenagain amerifats dont really have RGB XD

What makes Nintendo characters so universally appealing and iconic?
Mario is a typical cartoon man like Fred Flintstone while Sonic is a typical cartoon animal like Felix the Cat
>>12425873deviant porn for every taste>>12432463>sex: men
>>12432463They sex human men???
Samus should be in third placeYeah she's hot and sexy too but the Varia suit has an iconic silhouette
>>12436241I think samus is an interesting case of a barely considered easter egg actually ending up being the perfect choice for the premise. when they had artists seriously dig into the female power suit concept for metroid 2, it obviously was the more interesting look, the huge pauldrons balanced against a subtle hourglass figure, wouldn't be nearly as striking with a squat male torso.
Post bullshit that you only heard in your circles back in the day. I don't wanna hear no mew under the truck or triforces, I mean bullshit that only made the rounds in your neigbhorhood, school, etc. Whether you believed it yourself or knew it was bullshit even back then, doesn't matter. I'll start with a few off the top of my head>"Code Veronica" is a new technology that makes game graphics look ultra realistic>"The Buffoon" in Mortal Kombat (no idea who he is, but he "killed Shao Kahn")>Nintendo's new console after the GameCube is called E3>Half-Life is so realistic you can destroy anything, even the walls, piece by piece; No computer can run it yet
I remember a bunch from the early 2000's>if you climb the waterfall outside of Peach's castle, you can unlock the Master Cap that combines all three caps into one and replaces all of them!>beating Smash 64 with Samus on Very Hard without dying once will let you challenge and unlock Darth Maul, doing it with Jigglypuff unlocks James Bond>if you photograph all 64 Pokemon in Pokemon Snap, you can take a picture of Ho-Oh only once when you pick the beach course again>if you spell out ENTEI with Unown in your party in Gold and Silver, you unlock a new Entei event that ties into the third movie>if you use a Berserk Gene on Mewtwo and then give it a Metal Coat, then trade it back to Yellow and trade it to another copy of Yellow, it'll become armored Mewtwo>Beat X-Men Children of the Atom with all of the X-Men and you unlock Spider-Man, do it with the bad guys and you unlock Magneto>If you beat Goldeneye 007 difficulty on Secret 007 difficulty, you unlock a lightsaber that blocks all enemy fire and instantly kills when it hits them>type "mum i want a space station" in Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds to spawn the Death Star
>>12433546Did you write gullible on the ceiling too
I remember something about Sonic being unlockable in Melee if you got a certain distance in Home Run Contest. Dunno if that were a widespread one or not
Friend told me that you could blow up the hospital in GTA:SA if you got the tank.
Only ones I can remember are mew truck and kids swapping GTA discs to access vice city/LC as CJ (it definitely worked for them, apparently)Online I saw pokegods posted around a ton pre-GS release, iirc when the JP versions released and MTL romhacks were posted around someone edited one to add names of some of them for screenshots
Post underrated NES games bros
>>12431245Krazy Kreatures (NES) is way more fun than it has any right to be considering its pedigree. The penultimate example of concept over presentation, after Tetris.
>>12433383Too bad it's just the one track through the entire game....
>>12434106That's not true, though.https://youtu.be/PdQNj1oJsB8
>>12431245I'd say this was properly rated, many regard it as classic and rate the OST highly, but it's not as good as the OG title and because of that it gets forgotten compared to it, I do wish it got more love, but I think it's fair that it's not as fondly remembered as the superior 1st title with the walljumping, platforming and actual punching sometimes.

It also just doesn't look as good in other consoles, the 3DO logo really belongs there
The Game Boy Advance library is so good it's unreal
>>12434228boktai gave me cancer (skin)
The notretro one that came after edges it out by quite a bit in terms of library imo. The GBA had some quality offerings and my favorite game is on it but it didn't feel like a powerhouse of breadth like the SNES/PS2 for example
>>12435801proud of you anon
>>12435723>But this is how I play GBA.>daylight>not even sunsetno you don't
>>12435539For a moment I was excited about another game in the same style of DK94 but then I looked up a video >horrible art style>constant never ending highpitched Mario voice clips>menus are are slow 1/3rd of the video are menus between levels
The strategist's Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.
>>12430181>>12432734How long was it?
>>12433339I dunno, 12-15hours maybe
>>12433293One of the old Gamefreak fanzines from the 80's
>>12429596So misty was a preexisting character design a decade before Pokémon? Neat.
At this point I'm not even touching anything released past 1999. My backlog will easily outlive me.
Why do normalfags only talk about X and GX?
SNES is all right. It has solid merits and honestly I like it more than SNES Mario Kart. It's kind of obsolete these days, however.
>>12431359Nah, difficulty only exists in the form of annoyances.
I beat all 3 GBA F-Zeros but I never liked the SNES one for some reasons. Never tried the others because they probably require a good analog stick which I don't have. Analog gaming is for zoomers anyway.
>>12428285Makes sense to me.
>>12428145Older isn't always inherently betterIf it was the case you'd be playing Pong instead of F-Zero
A Taiwan invasion will destroy the hobby. Sanctions on Chinese imports will make replacement parts, mods, lasers, capacitors, soldering materials scarce. Working consoles will skyrocket in price and Japan's retro stock will be absolutely pillaged. FPGA systems will be unobtainium since they rely on Taiwanese chips. If you are someone who plays daily make sure to stock up on what you need to keep your favourite systems running 20 years into the future.
Destroy China's enemies.
>>12431116
>>12433970Impressive if real
>>12429671It was already ruined with these tariffs. China was my last source for cheap retro gaming and that's already ruined before them messing with another nation. They did repurpose a lot of old chips into a working motherboard and I think this 14TB HDD (it is an old fashioned platter style one) came from a Chinese server which had already used it for many hours but it is filled with a lot of old gaming data. I was looking forward to Ananta and RO3, but cost of all the computing and those parts have already pushed me out of gaming. Even fuel prices has already gone up making the cost of living that much higher without wages improving. So I hope every other nation pushes back and pressures against that disastrous scenario as I'd like to return to enjoying videogames.
>>12431294Yeah bro who cares lmao

>>12416125The aesthetic and atmosphere on this game is top tier, the gameplay just never matched it.

>>12435401>Auster found out the thread. Prepare for his schizo "tech" ramblings. Kill /vr/ for fucks sake.hello auster spammer. everyone knows more about computers and electronics than you. you're just a pathetic compulsive lying sex offender that can't even post ai slop without fucking it up and making yourself look like a lolcow and an imbecile. tell the viewers at home about how people were using an apple 2 to make nes games. that was a fun story you could never explain or post links to for.. two weeks? lmao. how about the time you claimed that snes had "true transparency" and then you couldn't so you decided to spam the board for weeks while everyone called you a loser schizophrenic and a pedophile and the mods/jannies just let it stay there because they too think you're a detestable loser that knows nothing about everything?
>>12435457well spotted, anon. this loser is in every thread posting ai slop and contributing nothing (for over a decade) because every anon keeps destroying him. auster spammer is the dumbest motherfucker this board has ever seen. you only have to say "snes bad" and this schizophrenic sex offender will be here for weeks spamming the board. he has no idea how a snes works, doesn't understand any of the hardware, doesn't matter. he'll just pretend that he does, get everything wrong and then spam for weeks. just watch this thread and witness the mental breakdown unfold.

I just found out about this game and Hamlet for the pc98.
>>12425848For me the english voice acting kills the PS1 version
>>12425848Is it good
>>12432736I'm not sure he actually played it yet
>>12435376Yeah, I have to buy a copy and play it on my ps3
>>12432736I don't know if I'd call it good. But it's definitely unique. It's the only Mecha-Survival Horror-RPG hybrid I can think of. The survival part is no joke either. Healing items and energy refills are scarce and there's a finite number of weapon pickups in the game. Weapons that use ammo like rocket launchers and miniguns can't be reloaded. Once they run dry, they're discarded. Enemies will also try to target and destroy your weapons. You can carry 6 weapons and equip 3 at a time. I'm almost certain you could get softlocked in certain places if they manage to destroy all your guns and you're unable to find new ones or backtrack to previous ones you passed up. But it's never happened to me. I have had a lucky hit blow up a a really powerful laser or cannon and force me back to using some shitty lower end backup though.
This game is a fucking mess>Graphics glitchy flickering>Jank controls and shooting>Normal stages then suddenly space>What the fuck was the story>Four levels
>>12433692It would be strange that more than 1 schizo happened to want to spam a slow board like /vr/ the same day
shit bait, shit thread
>>12432849The game is all killer no filler except for the weird ship section.
>>12432849>needing moreYour gamer cred is tanking
>>12432849The game really did feel like it was rushed out with the story likely having more in-between chapters. I still loved the game when I got it and it was an easy playthough. At the time, in the US, it was obvious that the releases for the Saturn were slowing down, but they still were fun games worth the play. Even back then, I still noticed flickery and wobbly polygons and seams even on Playstation games, so it was not a deal breaker as my imagination allowed for the object permanence and understanding there were no 3D accelerators as on the PC of the day.
any unc niggas know where this is from? im 90% sure it's from retro shit. https://voca.ro/1bxTrAj8h50X
