I'll start.

Is there a reason that nobody ever talks about Tails Adventure, even with the internet's Metroidvania and Sonic obsession? It's genuinely one of the best Game Gear titles around.

The first was better in every way except graphical fidelity, but even then the environment was way more interesting looking. It's like they tried to make the gameplay as annoying as possible in this.

There's rogue-like style hacks out there for several games now, like aria of sorrow, Pokémon, live a live, FF6, etc... But if there's one game that truly needs a roguelike hack, it's mega man battle ...

What are zillennial/younger millennials' thoughts on the genesis and other "pre-1998" things?

Edgy shit of the dark variety. Grimdark, gothic, evil, occultic, macabre, dark fantasy, horror inspired, etc etc

Oh right, the 90s "kid superhero" fad and this is also the world's worst Contra ripoff.

When does it start being fun? I'm about 5 hours in, just got to Cairo, it sucks.

Beat this time, dudes.

Have you ever made your own retro-style game, /vr/? Hard mode: it must obey graphical limitations of the era its emulating Lunatic mode: it must run on original hardware

Alright you Afghan mattresses, give me the best 16-bit or older and portable strategy games. And I don't mean no sissy SRPGs, I mean WAR, with people thrown into the meat grinder, not your anime prett...

Does anyone have any recommendations for fun games in the Arcade Archives series? A ton of them look really fun, but for like $10 a pop they're a bit steep. Yes, I know I could just emulate.

Zoomer here. Post your favorite retro game. I start:

How are there people surprised Zelda got all that critical acclaim when level design in other games looks like this?

More or less the case

In first mission of RA2 I cant train engineers to fix a bridge. Is this a bug or I'm missing something?

The original RE4 is one of the worst controlling and clunkiest pieces of shit to ever be released in terms of both how it controls with a controller and a mouse and keyboard. It is genuinely probably ...

What were they thinking? This looks like something people in the 1970s would think a controller would look like in the 1990s. It was cringe, even when it came out.

What went so horribly wrong for them in the retro era?

thoughts on this comedy horror game? I like the gameplay, but the hilarious voice acting is killing all the horror

Any retro JRPGs that comes close to the autistic lore and worldbuilding of Elder Scrolls series?

What you guys think of this game? Is it better on the snes or genesis? It even got a release for the SEGA CD but only in Japan so I have no way of knowing if that one is any better.

Any other games made by Indians or set in India?

Post your favorites and why you like them. Gamespot gave pic related a 1.9/10. I found the combat really satisfying and liked how creepy and the atmosphere was very tense and creepy.
