No VN / JRPG / turn-based
Im looking for extreme sports and also racing gamesOn ps1 I know almost all of them, but on ps2 I might be unaware of some unpopular ones. If you know any, then tell me please
>>11491415That Neopets game on the PS2.
>>11491420Neopets is extremely famous so by definition it is not a lesser known game at allplease exit the thread
>>11491428You tell me ANYONE cares about Neopets in the modern day. Not even the church of scientology cares, otherwise they would've kept it. Alright, something s little less famous.World Destruction League.
>>11491441>World Destruction LeagueI know it, because i basically had to look through every single tank game on PS1 in order to find the one i played as a kid(Which is this one, really good game, i would recommend any parent to let their kid experience this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ShSFhwYQdoand there is an extremely similar game to it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-QO51zqe10)but havent gotten to playing itIts interesting that there is a ps1 and ps2 world destruction league game with the same title; there is quite a few games that released on both platforms around the same time but the ps1 would always be inferior in amount of content and amount of detail, most famous example i know is the wacky races games released on ps1 and ps2
>>11491902Fucking weird,Now i thought i heard of every ps1 racing game but what is this? Is it japanese language only? Looks good need to play it. One jap only language i tried playing is art truck battle, but i dont understand anything there
>>11491910Not that anon but the game has an English translation which I've played and finished and it's a very soulful little gamehttps://www.romhacking.net/translations/1652/
What's obscure about any of these games? I've played 75% of what's in this thread, even own a few of them.
>>11491910It's part of a trilogy, start with the first game. They're all similar but fun. Spoiler: beating the championship once is never the end of the game, you have to play it several times to get new tracks.Then on top of the trilogy there are 3 spin offs on PSX, including a racing """RPG""" and a boat racer, but I didn't like them at all. However there is also a Saturn game which is tons of fun and ended up being my favourite of the series.There are also 2 games on GBA, they're okay but they're too easy.
>>11491414I hope you like games inspired by Maximus Decimus Meridius film made in 2000.
>>11491441>sweating while I roll my Faerie Healing Springs tab again to try and cheese hunger by getting the Healing Faerie to magically remove my pet's (1/8) hungerHaha, no, of course not...
>>11491943specifically for you idiot read the title of the thread. do you know definition of the word obscure? fucking idiot. do you see that word there anywhere?
>>11492351Do you know the definition of the word 'obscure'? Do you recognise the associations of something being lesser known?
>>11492392Obscure is an extreme, idiotSomething existing, that a good number of ppl know about, is not obscure at all
Most people known about the first entry of this series on PS2 but not everybody know that it got a sequel.
>>11492406Tell that to all the fucking "hidden gem" retards.
Hellnight is great and was ahead of its time.
>>11491927...Iru! is fucking great. Gloomy, silly PS1 fun.
>>11492005what about circus maximus?
>>11491414
>>11491414Oh hey, I do remember some friend in elementary school bringing this one over. I don't remember if it was good at all, I think at that age, just being a spider that shoots missiles and can crawl on the walls and ceiling was cool enough for me.
The last thread I was in got nuked by jannies so I’ll try again.What is the current place to pick up roms? I lost mine and VL seems to be all but shutdown
>>11491414Love this game
Fucking nerds
>>11493313Janitors will shut you down if you actually try to talk about that.
>>11493313>inb4 "REEEEEEEEEEE DON'T SHARE THIS SITE"The owner literally advertises the site himself on fucking RedditPlus I asked the owner personally if sharing was bad because of takedowns and shit and he told me not to worry and that I can share the site as much as I want
>>11492406>>11493586Go get 'em, stud.
>>11491415It was stupid as hell, but weapon swap combos were cool as shit in this game. Would have done better if better stuff like DMC1 didn't already exist.
As a Nintendo chad it's actually criminal how many games the ps1 got. Can't believe the entire industry abandoned Nintendo that generation.
Ps1: Brahma force and A-train.Ps2: A-train and Sky odyssey.
>>11491913Is that Jumping Flash 2?
>>11494352The title screen is fucking right there.
>>11494352It's Jumping Flash 3
>>11491459>because i basically had to look through every single tank game on PS1 in order to find the one i played as a kidFor me it's grudge warriors. Here's some lesser known PS1 games.Pop n tanks Gossun oyoyo Yoyos puzzle parkGoogoothropusDestregaJohny bazookatone
>>11494632Ohh and invasion from beyond. Break neck speed UFO hunting game, absolutely fantastic
>>11494643I think this one might play better with a PAL copy. It feels too fast at 60fps.
>>11491414Brahma Force. The pinnacle of Genki's mecha FPS games. Very underappreciated and worth playing. A pity that they stopped making games like this. Destrega. 3D fighting game that is somewhat similar to arena fighters like Power Stone but with the focus on the fighters using their projectile magic. Fast paced action and simple controls that are easy to learn make this game fun to play and easy to get into. Pretty good graphics for it's time and a great OST as well. I don't understand why it is almost never mentioned when the PSX 3D fighting games are being brought up.Panzer Bandit. A beatemup game heavily inspired by Guardian Heroes but it does enough things on its own with the main focus on fast paced action to be distinct enough. The game is JP only and there is no translation patch but for a game like it's not really an issue. Beatemups is not the most prominent genre on the PSX and compared to the few Final Fight alike belt scrollers and clunky 3D titles that there is Panzer Bandit stands out a lot.Jet Moto '98. The JP release of Jet Moto 2. It fixes the biggest problem of the original release by toning down the brutal difficulty of the original release both by making the cpu controlled racers perform less perfect and adjusting collision detection on the tracks. The game is still a plenty challenging but no longer feels unfair while retaining all its strong points of jet physics, tracks design, aesthetics and absolutely fantastic OST. This is what the Championship Edition re-release should have been instead of that weird romhack.
>>11492005Played spartan total warrior last night. Alot of fun
>>11494358I don't read moonrunes fuckface.>>11494581Thank you
>>11493228I just bought Hellnight after years of wanting a copy.
>>11491417
>>11493313You WERE told. Literally google "name of game rom". It's not a joke, it's not a troll. Do it, it's that fucking simple. It is easier than it has ever been and yet you fucking trologodytes were still using something like Vimm's.
>>11494646>Too fastNah, this ain't starfox, kiddo. Git gud
>>11491417I actually remember this game. My cousin had it and i remember him finally unlocking the Indy race car only for it to be absolutely terrible on fuel.
A pretty fun FPS.
Global Domination.Its a game about shooting missiles at countries. It has a story, with live action cut scenes and everything, I think it's some James Bond-esque plot.Anyway, I played it as kid and never finished it, because I couldnt understand what I was supposed to do. So I pick it up again as an adult and try to figure it out.I'm stuck at mission 2. It says I have to intercept a submarine that is escaping into India: I have to kill it with a Cruiser, but I can never catch it. Other people on the net seems to have the same issue and no clear solution. The few videos on YT are failing this mission. Some say that you have to press X to get the cruiser to use its depth charges, didnt work. Other said to attack India's harbor so the sub cant dock, but theres no way to attack it as offensive weapons are disabled for the mission.Now, I remember that as a kid I did complete this mission once, but I dont remember how. Anyone knows?
best fishing game i've played
I found this game to be pretty charming, very reminiscent of Earthbound.
>>11494760Yeah the Roman Alphabet is fucking runes alright you thick twat.
>>11493239Thanks anon.
Game is perfect 10/10, yet nobody ever talks about it.https://youtu.be/6RobD_1imlg?si=mzmgLZZAj5POxxyh
>>11497224Didn't the developers put in a joke about how they ran out of disc space on this one or something?
>>11493449Fuck you, now all the Tiktok zoomfags are gonna share it
>>11497789Yeah, during a two-part level.
Can you fucktards stop posting only PS1 games? I'm interested more in PS2
>>11497795So what you're saying is /vr/ still dictates a nice portion of retro videogame opinions on the world wide web...
>>11497802PS2 sucks monkey cock.
>>11497795Again, the people who made the site share it on Reddit themselves
>>11497809Then leave the thread. jeet
>>11497818>jeet LOL you salty as fuck. Go be gay elsewhere. This is a retro thread, for real retro games.
>>11496739This isn't an obscure game. It was quite popular and well talked about at its release.
>>11497779Ah, Apocalypse. The game where half of Bruce Willis's lines make no sense because they recorded them when he was meant to be the PC's sidekick instead of the PC himself and so he keeps talking to someone who's not there.
>>11497821This one, magazines used to loved this game.
>>11497823You're both incredibly fucking gay.
>>11491414Open world, Twink Peaks-like plot, Shenmue-style before Shenmue and day and night cicle.
>>11498883>Twink PeaksSomeone was googling gay porn before they posted.
not really a game but nowhere better to post this on the 'logI'm considering getting a new laser for my PS1, my original one still mostly works (though clearly not perfectly) but I want to preserve it. I was thinking of just putting it inside of whatever the new one's packaged in and putting it in a drawer or something.Would this be fine or does it necessitate any extra care? I'd like for it to remain functional in case anything happens and out of love I guess.
