Things only (you) care about
I guess I like this because I owned it as a kid.
>>12925215I really love the x68k but even in Japan it was niche because of how expensive they were. They're also notoriously difficult to maintain but emulation os at least pretty easy by now.
>>12925215Azrael`s tear.
>>12925323Movie prop ahh looks. >Motorola"I used to rule the world" grandpa tier. Now Motorola is half globohomo comms company and half Lenovo Xi-drone company
>>12925298>We have Ranger X and Turrican at homeWill check
>>12925347>Azrael`s tear.Spooky
>>12925215TR3 loreSyphon Filter 1-3G Police (genuinely my go-to-sleep fantasy was lying in bed imagining I was flying a dull patrol shift, scanning vehicles and stuff)Wondering about King's stage in Tekken 3, how is it up there
>>12925215>Bits StudiosI grew up playing Spider-Man: Return of the Sinister Six on NES. I also liked The Amazing Spider-Man on Game Boy, by Rare, and Bits Studios made the sequel, turning it into a bit of a MetroidVania, and a short one, which I do prefer really.I love those Spider-Man titles the most, but I later found out they made Terminator 2: Judgement Day on Game Boy, and Alien 3 on Game Boy... for me the best respective title based on those films at the time, better than the consoles'.
>>12925215Tiger electronics handheld collecting maybe. I have a friend who's in deep, and the way they explain the histories of individual devices makes it sound pretty interesting. Then you turn on the game and it's not even a game. Should I or anyone else care about such outright garbage? Idk. Everyone had them as kids though, so maybe the nostalgia is working overtime.
>>12925726Could be way worse, I mean it's icky or something but undiagnosed people back in the day used to be like: I'll collect spoons. Somebody has to have THAT kind of 'tism I guess
>>12925298Casually seeing someone else mention Xardion.Played that game at a significant part of my upbringing. That game is a huge deal to me.
>>12925726Based friend. I too collect lcd games because they were part of my introduction to vidya and they are really addictive when done right.
>>12925215The Extreme-G series will always have a place in my heart despite being forgotten. Revisiting the series, I was surprised how much of the dystopian aspect of the 2nd game was lost on me as a kid. It was also interesting to learn that Extreme-G 2 (XG2) was the only game in the series to get a PC release. It was a big box too.
>>12925859But is it good? I played the n64 releases and I was thoroughly whelmed. Are the other releases better? I was looking into XG3 and XGRA but the gameplay vids don't really make me want to try them out.I love the aesthetic and atmosphere of the games, but I'd rather be playing F-Zero or Wipeout desu.
>>12925932>But is it good?I like them but I can't exactly measure their quality. Main difference is that they're cycle racing games with weapons, not anti-grav, so they're not going to feel like F-Zero at all. Probably closer to Wipeout just because of the weapons.If you're going to at least try one out, in my opinion, pick XG2 or the 4th game XGRA.XG2 you can pirate from abandonware sites or play on Steam right now, but XGRA is less dark and has a more fun atmosphere.
Nocturne and the not a real sequel Blair Witch games. YouTubers have shown the games in recent years, but I guarantee most people don't have the patience to get them running correctly on modern hardware. They're pretty jank otherwise too, but I really liked them.

>>12925215This game
>>12925298Xardion is currently in my SNES. Slow game but it's really cool.
>>12925215I wish Amiga emulation wasn't a pain in the neck >>12926418love Star Cruiser 1 and 2
>>12925215I see very little discussion of the Sega CD version of The Adventures of Willy Beamish and me and my friend were fucking obsessed with that game as a kid. We would stay up all night on weekends laughing and playing it trying to beat it. Never did finish it, we got to the Mayors Mansion at the end and couldn't get past the kitchen part where they cook your frog I think.
>>12925726I guess the theming, artwork, and designs are as much of the appeal as the actual gameplay.
>>12926462Yeah the artwork and themes and shit are pretty cool for some of them, they're visually cool as fuck if you're into whatever game it is or whatever, or at least some are. The gameplay itself is fucking garbage though. But I have had stuff I've been autistically into that I convinced myself was good that objectively trash too, it happens.
>>12926430It's pretty mid but it has some cool features and an interesting story for a mech game.
>>12926017funny how most people who heard about this series at all did so through a Mario hack or Touhou fangame.
>>12927161>through a Mario hackthe one where the koopalings merge together?
Original dumps of computer games. I can't stand the cracked versions anymore, esp. if they're visibly modified (cracktros, title screen text fucked with, etc.)
>>12925215Atari and other pre crash vidya shit. I'm sorry it's just more fun to me than some 20 hour long movie game.
>>12928061any recs? I've been playing Xevious and I love the graphics and vibe
>>12928176Not him but I really enjoy Xevious: Fardraut Saga and Galaga 88 on the PC Engine. Even back then they were sort of "throwback" games but both are really fun takes on their respective series.
>>12928184PCE is gen iv kek
>>12928176For 2600 I like Galaxian (Galaga's precursor) and Yars. Defender is surprisingly entertaining. Missile Command is underrated. I actually think a lot of these games aren't as bad as people say they are, just exceptionally difficult
The vehicular FPS subgenre of the mid 90's. I'm not talking about Twisted Metal, I'm talking about stuff like Descent, Quarantine, Necrodome, MachineHead (and to a lesser extent stuff like Amok though it's a TPS)Back when FPS players didn't think strafing/ciclestrafing was peak FPS gameplay, so the next coolest thing after shooting in first person was driving and shooting in first person
>>12927304yeah that one, iconic mario hack moment but most didn't recognize the reference without someone else telling them
>>12928514my nigga I love games like red dog, g-police, future cop lapd etc the cool vehicle combat genre is fucking dead
Alundra 2 fucking rules
>>12928548kind of sad, RS2 is great
