Tell me some "Daniel Boone and Mozart lived at the same time" type of video game history facts, pls.
At the end of Bomberman NES it is revealed that the MC from Lode Runner is Bomberman without his suit
>>12711195The Game called Super Mario Bros 2 was called Doki Doki Panic in Japan.
>>12711226
>>12711195games aren't old enough for that
Metal Gear Solid and Zone of the Enders were made at the same time.
>>12711226No it was called super mario usa in japanAnyway croc for ps1 is the first game with modern controls where left stick moves the character and right stick controls the camera
The voices of Popeye and Olive Oyl all the way back from the thirties lived to see the arcade game and contribute voice acting to this commercialhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxtHjC-0qxY
>>12711226this should be the top comment
>>12711195The mario and zelda worlds were suppose to be in the same universe together, but the whole idea was scrapped after Majoras Mask.
>>12711217The Bomberman we all know is like the third or fourth iteration of the character. In the very first game on the PC-6001, he had kind of a red helmet, while the PC-8801 version made him into a normal dude with a white hat.The games after that tried to show that the white/black bomberman were just wearing suits, but I think starting from the SNES games they became full-on anime people.
>>12711236>the first popeye cartoon came out almost a century agoThat doesn't feel possible
Stanley and Luigi first appeared in Game&Watch games before they ever showed up in their respective arcade games.
>>12711226No........................
>>12711195gaben made some of Windows 1
>>12711195Jogurt from Shining Force stars in a few VMU games in Time Stalkers for DC.He also makes an appearance in the game, which seems to hint at Landstalker and Shining Force taking place in the same universe.
>>12711195Mario's moveset in SM64 actually first appeared in Donkey Kong '94 (GB)
Charles Martinet was doing the Mario voice at conventions with a 3D face similar to the Super Mario 64 intro as far back as 1991.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSYznChvXVYThis one's from '92.
>>12711392Wtf I knew I should have played that when it came out.
>>12711264It would have been better if there was some back story explaining that they just blew themselves up.
>>12711195Nintendo was founded in the same year Hitler was born.
Capcom didnt catch the typo in "Street Fighter II: The World Warrier" until after all the graphics roms were burned. To fix it they used pixels from Guile's leg to turn the "e" into an "o"
>>12711236On a similar note, Alice in KH1 is done by the very same VA who did it in the 1951 movie.Bonus fact (more /co/ than /v/ but still relevant) - Olive Oyl's voice did Popeye as well during a period while Popeye's VA was drafted into service
The Nintendo NES was launched 21 years before the PS3, and that was 20 years ago.
>>12711195For brief period of time some department stores had new NES, SNES, and N64 games all on sale at the same time. They may have even had a few leftover toploader NES consoles on sale.
In the early 2000s, "retro games" was already an established term for SNES, Genesis, etc. games that came out only 10 years earlier.
>>12711489Tick tock oji-sans
>>12711515It's amazing how little that window has shifted over the past 25 years, literally a quarter of a century largely unchanged.
Vice City 1986 to 2002 = 16 yearsSan Andreas 1992 to 2004 = 12 yearsGTA III 2001 to 2026 = 25 years
>>12711589What?
>>12711515Because age never defined "retro", style did. Games have not significantly changed in style or structure in 20 years
The original Outrun was released in 1986Outrun 2006 was a 20th anniversary celebration of OutrunOutrun 2006 was released 20 years ago
>>12712407>Games have not significantly changed in style or structure in 20 yearsIgnorant boomer take
The last video game, not engine, Tim Sweeney actually designed is Jill of the Jungle from '92.
>>12712475fluoride-addled zoomer, I have seen your entire existence begin and will see you end it.
There’s probably at least a dozen Japanese game protags that were visually inspired by River Phoenix, OoT’s Link being one, Leon Scott Kennedy another.
There's probably programming code from Tekken 1 in Tekken 8.
Pancrase fighter/pro wrestler Minoru Suzuki did motion capture for Tekken 3 (and probably others).
>>12711195The Dreamcast launched 6 days after Ocarina of Time
>>12712382Enough time has passed that gta3 is the same de facto parody throwback that vice city and san andreas were de jure
>>12711195Zelda Ocarina of Time and Sonic Adventure were released only a month apart.
>>12711264>>12711217
Hi-Octane was developed in just eight weeks and actually has no proper stats for its vehicles. The differently sized stat bars on the select screen had enough of an effect on playtesters (making them believe that they all played differently) that they never bothered to fix this.
More time has passed now since Duke Nukem Forever's release than what it took to develop.
>>12712439Time for OutRun 3/2026.
Jeremy Bernal worked at Parallax, Volition, Midway and MicroProse and used his severance to found Sexyfur after Hasbro closed the last one.
The studio that did the infamous CD-i Zelda cutscenes also worked on King's Quest 7, doing the animations for chapter 1 and the general ones.
Link was already depicted with pink hair long before ALttP.
The final SNES game was released eight months after the PS2 launched.
They were still selling C64 magazines with floppy disks in the late 90s.
Elon Musk programmed the Cadillacs and Dinosaurs game on the SEGACD
>>12712484I can cherry pick as well, majora's mask was literally released around the time zoomers were born
>>12712867This is a good one and the closest to OP's request.
Super Mario Bros 3 and the Sega Megadrive came out 6 days apart in October 1988.
>>12711589Still hurts me brain that 16 years was enough time for culture to move on so much.I don't think 2010 is as alien to us in comparison.
>>12711515>remember having a PS2 magazine that reviewed Sonic Mega Collection+, and went on about how old and outdated the games were>Sonic 1 was 14 years old when SMC+ came out>now games from 2012 aren't that different to games coming out today
>>12712407This is just cope to not feel like an unc, nigga we are old. No current high schooler thinks somethinh Morrowind looks modern.
>>12711195There were only three years between 4chan opening to the public and the release of the PS3.
>>12713271Incidentally, 4chan and the Nintendo DS came out in the same year.
>>12713271Hiro has now owned 4chan for longer than Moot did.
>>12713272No, 4chan was opened in October 2003, the DS came out in November 2004
>>12712857I knew it was going to be something retarded and I still asked
>>12711489Frog_clock_time_anguish.jpg
>>12711536If only this were true.
>>12713102Infants are obstinate gamers, that much is true
>>12712484>only game released in the last decade was FortniteMan I know you guys are retarded but lol what a retarded bad faith argument. The sad thing is you probably actually believe it.
>>12713371Nta, but that pic is more in terms of graphical leaps.
During the mid-90s the former Soviet Union countries were going through their 8-bit era of video gaming with the release of the Dendy and other famiclones. At the same time players in Japan were playing Virtua Fighter there were players in Russia excited over Super Mario Bros 3. It's my understanding that Russian language video game media presented Dendy games as "new" releases and many kids were under the impression they were playing cutting edge games.
>>12712628Link was obviously inspired by JTTRiver Phoenix is only glazed now because he died, back in the 90s he wasn't nearly as big a deal as DiCaprio, Depp, Pitt, etc.
>>12713542>Link was obviously inspired by JTTJust like Tifa was inspired Jennifer Connelly, right?
>>12713549No, Connelly was also a literal who until very recently when aging millennials discovered her through the astroturfing of David Bowie's fake fame in the 2000s. JTT was one of the most famous teen heart throbs of the 90s and on the cover of every teen magazine. You have zero idea of what you're talking about.
People who played Quake II on PC soon after the time of release were almost guaranteed to also have an N64 emulator on their PC and were able to emulate Zelda: Ocarina of Time within the first 72 hours of release, if not beforehand.
>>12713893UltraHLE was released on January 28, 1999 and was the first N64 emulator that could actually play games. Which was two months after the release of OoT. Still, the overall factoid is largely true, PC gamers in 1999 were massively pirating N64 games the same way they did with the Wii and Switch while the consoles were still in their active lifespan.This doesn't really get talked about enough in terms of the impact on the N64's sales, and whether it hurt or helped it. I could see arguments either way.
>>12712484The first console my parents ever owned was the Atari 2600 JR back in 1986 or so. Then they bought a NES in 1989. Not long after that in 1992 they bought a Super Nintendo. I ended up buying my own N64 in 1996. Also, I had a Genesis, Sega CD, Saturn, and Playstation. That all happened within 10 years. I had a Dreamcast in 1999. Computer hardware was evolving at lightspeed every two years. I suspect that the boomer Jews of the past just got to old and fell into the trap of time slowing down. Pop culture has been trapped in a bubble for the last 20 years now.
>>12713909Not the same generation, but I recall a GBA developer came here 10 years ago and said that the GBC (post-2000) and GBA era was so weird because the first emulators came out a few months after the consoles themselves, and the developers actually tested their games on emulators before burning them to cartridges.
Xenogears is in fact, a shit.
>>12713893what a dogshit experience that must have been
>>12713553>Connelly was also a literal wholol no
>>12714110It actually ran very well. People had different expectations from emulation at the time. Things like the candles being white in OoT or the video screens in Mario Kart 64 being black were considered minor and easily ignored. The general game experience was 99% identical.
>>12713082holy fuck
>>12713980The first GBA emulator came out before the system was released in the USA. It ran well too.
>>12714112Yeah I don't even know where he got that from. Phenomena was popular enough in Japan they had exclusive merchandise and Connelly got a gig with Eastwood Records, and of course the main character in Clock Tower was made to look exactly like her
Don Mattrick (former Xbox CEO infamously known for the botched Xbox One announcement) was one of the designers of Stunts/4D Sports: Driving
>>12714121I remember there was a forum where we used to post demos (I think it was VBA forums?), and sometimes actual game developers came there and gave us some tips. I recall they said something of the sort too, where computers from the mid-2000s were much more powerful than stuff from the NES/SNES era, and they could compile the whole ROM, tinker with it and play on an emulator, instead of burning a costly EEPROM or something. Back in the 90s, it was unthinkable to have several compiled versions of the same ROM just sitting in every computer of the development team.
>>12714127I’d also like to know where he got the idea that River Phoenix wasn’t a giant heartthrob for the Japanese in the nineties, even after he passed.
>>12713046>Das Magazin fur Computer-fansFunny languagealso>VirtualASS

>>12713041The final PS1 game released a few days before the PS3's launch.
Playstation 2 was supported for nearly as long as GameCube and Wii combined
>>12714138>>12714127Obviously it's from an American perspective. Connelly was a Euro/Italo darling and relatively unknown in the US, but Japan sure likes its hokey B-movies she tended to do.But River Phoenix I can't really explain since he wasn't in anything major between Stand By Me and his death. besides a few minutes in Indiana Jones. Maybe he got a bigger push in Japan in commercials or something like a lot of US actorsBut it is correct that in the states they both were nobodies until recently so it's understandable for americans to be confused by their mention as inspiration to anything
>>12711195there were NES games coming out after the Playstation and Saturn were released, the last official NES game came out in Europe in 1995 (Wario's Woods)The last disc-based Wii game came out after the last Wii-U gameYou could buy graphics cards that worked on the god damn amiga as late as the early 2000s to play games like Shogo
>>12714852I think Gen Z and Alpha don't realize that America used to be able to produce stars on the global stage. We haven't had a new one in a while. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wurxdpPInXc
>>12712484Fixed it:
>>12714923That's just autism dude. I played OoT when it came out. Got stuck in the Water Temple and move on to other games. Namely: Half-Life, Starcraft, Ultima Online, Baldur's Gate. The next year I got Unreal Tournament, GTA2, Age of Empires II, Super Smash Bros, and Counter-Strike.You are living through a Dark Age bro.
>>12714923The fuck was the retard who made this even trying to imply?
>>12714946There is only 2 good games in this list.

>>12713893>>12713909I've never heard or seen anyone having a N64 emulator on their PC during my entire life, certainly not back when Q2 was releasedt. Lifelong pc-gamer who only fraternises with other pc-gamers

>>12711195Nintendo was originally a Yakuza clan called Nidudu Darukku that manufactured weighted playing cards and dice that they used to cheat in early Japanese casinos, but they were forced to switch to slot machines when the government of Japan briefly outlawed card games, and the rest is history

ITT: two dozen retards who don't know what a "Daniel Boone and Mozart lived at the same time" type of video game history fact is.
>>12716207If in all your life in PC gaming you've "never heard" of a PC gamer playing N64 games via emulator on their PC, then you're either 1. not much of a PC gamer at all2. so incredibly ignorant of the world around you that you must be stupid.UltraHLE was a huge news story in PC gaming, and then there's just the general commonality of PC gamers also emulating console games over the last 27 years.
>>12716271No one on PC uses emulators of any kind. Mario games are for children. Anything that matters is already ported to PC.
>>12713017This one is my favorite
>>12716237John Carmack and Gaben lived at the same time
>>12713980>>12714135Devs making their own emulators wasn't unheard of, that is precisely how a game.com emulator was released, nobody actually gave a shit about that piece of shit platform and someone happened to still have the emulator used by devswith that said EEPROM are rewritable, it's pretty much in the name
>>12714923The bottom section needs to have a twitch border added to it.
Both Overblood and Resident Evil were developped pretty much at the same time, with Overblood being released only a few months later (5 months to be exact so some could argue it could still have been inspired by it).Both games are directly inspired by AitD, but more importantly both games have an extremely similar story with a shady scientists experiment gone wrong which led to a zombie outbreakSimilarly, both Cold Fear and AitD(5) devs claim that they had the behind the shoulder camera before RE4 did. However this has to be taken with a lot of salt considering RE4 was known to have that camera angle long before it released, before it became the RE4 we know too.Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest 3 came out 1 month apart, and they were both the first Famicom RPGs to let the player pick classes for a party of 4. However in this case it's actually very likely that FF1 was inspired by DQ3 considering that a LOT of things about DQ3 were known long before release since it had almost one year long weekly previews in Famitsu detailling everything about the game; not that Sakaguchi would ever admit to it. Still, at least they had the hindsight to know DQ3 would be a bigger deal as everyone else was still copying DQ2 or even DQ1.
>>12716356>Similarly, both Cold Fear and AitD(5) devs claim that they had the behind the shoulder camera before RE4 did. However this has to be taken with a lot of salt considering RE4 was known to have that camera angle long before it released, before it became the RE4 we know too.oh and aktshually Conker's Bad Fury Day had it long before all of these anyway, in a horror level too
>>12714874>the last official NES game came out in Europe in 1995 (Wario's Woods)I'm pretty sure that the The Smurfs - NES bundle came out in 1995 also. Game itself was from 1994 though.
>>12711589Fuuuck that tripped me up.
>>12716271Maybe in your gay console friend circles. In actual PC-circles nobody gives a flying fuck about N64
>>12714107All Xenoshit is shit by definition.
the name Sega derives from "Service Games" as the company originally started out providing pinball and other such entertainments on US air bases in Hawaii and Japan. "Coleco" similarly is short for Connecticut Leather Company Shigeru Miyamoto was spotted playing Sega NiGHTS at E3 in 1996. When asked what he thought of the game he said it was "good, but unfinished".
>>12714923Millenuncs, hold me... I don't feel so good...
>>12715032And so were gay porn parodies (mainly starring Billy Herrington) which created the whole Gachimuchi phenomenon. Japan is the only place where obscure, weird things become famous.
>>12712484you can feel the seethe in this post. this is embarrassing to see as a millennial.
>>12714946this is mainstream weak.real niggaz were holding it down with the imports.
>>12716271pc games were superior. most of us didn't give a shit or even had the specs to emulate N64 back then. only the most elite of the imperial whites and asians working in tech hubs at the time had access.
>>12716560>pc games were superiorPC bros say this because they savescummed through Generic FPS #9,000,000 or savescummed through Generic RTS #9,000,000. The best PC games have always been console ports with mod support, because those games weren't designed to be fidget spinners but to actually be fun. The proof is that the average Fallout 1 and 2 fan hasn't even fucking played either game
>>12716271The only ones emulating 64 games were those who couldn't access a 64, like foreigners and maybe a few "look at this shit" super nerds showing off that its possible. Pc gamers played primarily pc games. It's not like now where both consoles and pc are basically the same shit with the exact same games.
>>12716647>mod support You didn't beat the game.
>>12715183>1986 was the "Bowie movie" Labyrinth,Which fucking bombed and nobody cared about, because Bowie was also a b-lister that couldn't draw a dime until his history revisionism push in the 2000s. His entire fame was completely manufactured after the fact, Labyrinth only finding an audience in the States through Hot Topic pushing ironic retro merch on 2000s high schoolers. >Her debut film role was for another nobody director Sergio Leone.A minor role that landed her exactly no leading roles in anything except hokey B-movies and eurotrash. She was nobody. You weren't there, little zoomie, I was.

Tifa is early 90s Jennifer Aniston.
12717393Sanest /vr/ poster.
>>12717120I doubt that
>>12714135>>12716350An emulator like ZSNES where you could actually test games in realtime performance would have been a lifetime of christmases all at once given how flakey and annoying official dev kits were. However any programmer worth their salt would have knocked together a "simulator" of some kind so they could run and debug 6502/65816/68k code without having to borrow time on the shared official dev kit. Hell, many devs coded their own assemblers because extortionate commercial assemblers were slow and shit. It was a few days work at most really, and if you can turn text mnemonics into machine code, you can turn machine code into ASM and simulate a few hundred opcodes and dump some tilemaps to your EGA display.
>>12717169This is a massive reach. First of all, not even the same outfit, Tifa wears a crop top and shorts, not to mention suspenders, a belt and gloves. This is a pretty nondescript outfit that countless bitches wore in real life during the 80s and 90s, even in Japan I’m sure. The only thing about this that screams Tifa is that Connelly also has a huge rack, but that’s a common trope when it comes to physically dominating women in Japanese media.And I’m sure Square employees in the 90s were taking notes from an American movie so mediocrely received that to this day the lead actor’s most well known role, by far, is a single scene in Pulp Fiction.
