>Be me>Completely new to retro games (Oldest thing I've played is probably Witcher 3 or RDR1)>Buy CRT cause its cool + want to play retro games on it (Commodore 1084 if anyone cares, same as in image)>"Oh man can't wait to see what cool shit I missed out on">Realise I have no clue what I should actually play due to being newbie>Any recommendations?
Can't go wrong with the original Super Mario Bros.
>>12681883Pick one of these:>Super Mario World>Sonic 3 & KnucklesAnd don't take the "you didn't beat the game if you used a guide" crowd too seriously. Back in the day kids crowdsourced info on how to beat games and since you don't have that now you might as well use a guide when you're stuck.
>>12681883I don't care what you do as long as its not this.

>>12681924This webm has been stuck in my head since I saw it weeks ago. It bothers me that the people who play games that way probably say they actually beat them.
>>12682014they experienced all the content, that's all that's important to casual gamers, myself included. I loathe long games bc of the commitment and often get bored after 4-5 sessions, forcing myself to continue. I just want to be able to say "I experienced it all; it's done" the sooner the better.
>>12681883a link to the past is an amazing first game to try
>>12682040Tbh I understand that but it's something I push back against in myself so my innate ADHD doesn't take control. Persevering through difficult games is a good way to beat that part of oneself into submission.
>>12682052fine advice, anon. Will consider next time I'm tempted by save stating
>>12682040But you didn't experience it as intended.
>>12682040There are gamers and then there are casuals.
>>12682040>I loathe long games bc of the commitment and often get bored after 4-5 sessions, forcing myself to continue. I just want to be able to say "I experienced it all; it's done" the sooner the better.If you loath the game then don't play it retard. Games aren't for checking off a list. Play ones you actually want to play for fuck sake.
>>12681883>big CRT fan finally excited to try one for the first time.Nice stuff kid, now you need some sort of console to hook up to it.Then you can finally understand that it makes no difference.
>>12681918If you get stuck and need a guide in SMW or S3&K you're a fucking retard.
If you actually want to go for a curated, enhanced experience, start with golden era arcade gaming. Space Invaders, Pac-Man and Donkey Kong are a must. Don't just play for 10 minutes, try to get decent scores. Play for several days and learn the games and get proficient. Feel the raw ludonics, the DNA of video games.If you want more golden era arcade stuff you can delve into Colecovision, good console with lots of great arcade ports and some exclusives as well.After you went through the golden age arcade stuff it's time for you to get into the actual golden era of gaming and go nuts with Famicom/NES. Don't just play the top 10 games like Zelda, Mario 3 or Castlevania right off the bat (heh), try to delve into early Famicom first. I recommend trying any early 90s famiclone multicart, they include many classics, many of which weren't released officially outside of Japan.I think you will be busy with Famicom for a while. And after that you have Genesis and SNES.

>>12681924Her sneer always cracks me up.
>>12682040based casual enjoyer. it's weird how simply enjoying the games makes people so mad
>>12681883that's my favorite CRT. it takes analog RGB, you just need to make a custom cable. Same signal as SCART it just needs the weird DIN connector.
