You will never go back and experience early MMOs which were primarily 99% white in the late 90s and early 2000s.

A cuck.

The game that changed the gaming industry forever.

...AND DON'T FORGET THE JOKER!

when does it start being fun?

how bad is story in this game?

Were ID Software really huge fanboys for Nintendo?

Carmack's original big tech breakthrough was used to do reproduce SMB3 on computers, Romero asked Kemco to make the GBC version of Daikatana like Zelda, and Tom Hall's Anachronox was mirrored after Japanese design sensibilities, not western. And I recall Romero's favorite game is Chrono Trigger.

I remember Command and Conquer on the N64 was a decent port, but SC64 was garbage. Why was that?

IIgs was my first computer, I loved that thing. I got it when it was brand new. Mom even sprang for the 8MB RAM card but I couldn't talk her into the SCSI HDD + adapter card (which together cost as much as the computer + RAM) but I did manage to get her to buy a 5 1/4" drive to go with the 3 1/2" unit "so I could use my school disks."

I pirated extensively, my middle school science teacher who was in the Army before that, he was a big software pirate as was my English teacher who had a kid in my class. I still have a huge number of mostly working disks, including some which I drilled a hole into to "make" them DSHD or to convert freebie disks which had the write protect hole covered permanently. And it's mostly SHIT. I played Tower of Myraglen a few times, it's not randomized so it eventually becomes a bit old. Dragon Wars was a lot deeper and the IIgs version is GREAT compared to the rest. Full Metal Planete is great. There are only about two dozen games which are best on the IIgs though. Even though it was very powerful hardware for the day with perhaps the best sound chip put into an '80s computer, again which was sorely under-utilized. Same chip was the heart of many successful synthesizers going even into the 1990s.

What could have saved the IIgs? Free full 16-bit dev kit with each computer? Pushing CD-ROM more and earlier (IIgs had full CD-ROM support)? IIgs could, in every technical way, have run Myst all the way back in 1986. In many ways, excepting the 16-bit nature, it was superior to early Macs. It also has the finest most conformant IEEE floating point library implementation of all time, done by Kahan himself, a point which goes often unnoticed. It was never used by any serious programs however. He invented IEEE floating point as well as writing the code in the HP 12C calculator which to this day is considered the benchmark for accuracy so much that MS Excel copies its behavior.

and where did you go to buy obscure games or higher end things like the neo geo? toys r us had the biggest selection that i personally saw. other than that it was mostly the stores in malls (babbages, software etc) or department stores. sears used to have a big video game counter in the 90s.

I don't get the appeal, seems she's more just iconic than hot, cool or interesting

>final level turns into a FPS where you fight a giant tiki

what in the actual fuck

What is better? Pokemon Crystal or HG/SS?

Which do you prefer?
Which would you recommend?

Were the 90s really as magical as people paint them?

What's the most pretentious retro game?

The great debate.

Can I participate on this board?

For me its LORD DEIMOS

Which games do you find generally more difficult between the mainline games (NES, SNES) and the Zero series (GBA)?

What's your favorite game for the Tiger Electronics System? For me, it's Mortal Kombat.

Are the outbreak games even worth playing?

In retrospect its kind of strange they made a video game based on Gilligan's Island in 1990

Amy is a stupid, dumb idiot.

Why do you play retro video games?

Just played through this for the first time. Skipped over it for years because I assumed it would be dog shit but I haven’t had this much fun with a sonic game since Sonic Rush for the DS. This game is extremely based. Not too hard to where you want to kill yourself, but not easy enough to be considered a kids game, 3D renders turned into great looking sprites, and a killer soundtrack.

Why does no one regard this as highly as other Sonic games? Is it because of the isometric perspective? Sure it’s a little clunky but once you get used to the games physics it’s a pretty good game.

>muh PSX
no
It was "the PlayStation"
Period

RPD is a complete downgrade from the mansion.

You know, people just don't give this game a fair shake.

why do people pretend like this was a bad game?

WHERE IS THE THIRD GAME???

Why is Zelda so much cooler when it happens outside of Hyrule?

"Games that are like Rolling Thunder" are obviously a genre. Shinobi, ESWAT, Sunset Riders, Ninja Five-O, etc. So why doesn't this genre have a name? They're not really run n guns (except Sunset Riders), they're not really platformers, they're like their own thing but it doesn't have a name.

It's fucking good.

Man... I'm that anon who's playing the series in release order, just finished this and as much as I don't want to sound like a corny normalfag this is the best one so far and it's not even close. I expected a storydriven '''moviegame''' because people here have convinced me that the gameplay takes a backseat but the materia system is just so much fun. And I mean I don't need to tell you about everything else like the story, characters, music enemy designs, prerendered backgrounds, etc, literally everything is 10/10. There is one and only one thing that I'm not a big fan of: most dungeons are way too short but that's about it. Will be taking a break from the series now. And it looks like 8 is when this Final Fantasy thing starts when some fans love the game and it's their favorite but the others think it's 2/10 dogshit, I've realised that it's like that with every game in the series from 8 onwards
TL;DR This game isn't overrated actually

>Sega of Japan: "Here's a new, cute and cool mascot we've made for the American audience inspired by Mickey Mouse, Looney Tunes and Michael Jackson."
>Sega of America: "Meh. Not American enough. He needs to be a smug, radical dude with attitude to be relatable to the cool, teenage American boys like TMNT."

Is it a big spoiler that you control Raiden in MGS 2? Would I be missing the impact by knowing this already?

Honest thoughts on King's Field?

I've been thinking about it - how do people stomach using devices capable of playing so many libraries without suffering decision paralysis, or at most falling back to familiar games?

I don't deny the pros of such devices, but if you have so many games at your disposal, choosing one is just so hard. With original hardware, you mostly had to cope with physical media, narrowing down the selection to the system and what's available on hand.

Maybe I'm just retarded? I'm thinking you could just look for games for one system, as opposed to scrolling through ALL the systems. Maybe I'm too keen on looking for good hidden gems among a sea of shit? But there's already a game recommendations wiki for each system.

Yeah, I think I'm retarded for this kind of thinking, given I still suffer decision paralysis trying to find games for my own systems.

sup /vr/, /biz/ here
Upon selling all my crypto I started investing on retro and honestly? This is crack.
You telling me I can invest AND play original games at the same time? 1 single game I resold already financed my battle station with a Trinitron and a good stereo setup, and I can play the games I invest in.
Why is this such an obscure investment plan?

This game is too spoopy
I feel genuinely ill and uncomfortable

>"Boy, I sure do love not feeling like a retard"
>plays this game
OH N-

what's your favorite GBA game
