Anyone just cycle through these old games?

By the time you've played a few it's been months the urge to come back and replay the first comes right back around?

Doom 1+2 -> Duke 3D/SW/Blood/IF -> Quake/2 -> Half Life -> Turok 1/2 -> Heretic/Hexen -> etc etc Repeat

I barely play new games anymore I just cycle old games. And by the time you come back around to play other stuff there's new map packs and mods

>>8378381
What's your version? The readme says 2.4.8.1 should run, but will have slime trails & HOMs all over the place.
Also, you need complevel 9.

Kaiser hinted that Powerslave is literally ready to release but Nintendo's certification process is holding it all up.

They're doing a simultaneous multiplatform release.

>>8378407
Cool art, but the original cover is still much better. Also ask where the fuck ROTT went.

>>8378389
You're missing out then new games and classics you've never tried.
>>8378410
I'm hoping there is a re-balanced and classic modes in RoTT's remaster or at least let me carry two missile/magic weapons.

Pic related is a mainframe video game, coded by a woman in 1964. There are a few older games too. I think Tennis for Two is older. They were mostly only played by computer students though.

>>8378327
>>8378340
Right. He said that the 70s is where videogames got their beginnings as consumer products instead of lab experiments. Which is a very dumb and ahistorical misconception.

>>8378323
Videogames are literally over 100 years old.

>>8378351
What part of that do you disagree with?

>>8378323
Makes sense to me. Also with arcades. Talking about vidya with boomers their memories of playing defender and missile command and space invaders or whatever are from the 70s and 80s

>>8378209
SCPH-3900x or 5000x fat models would be your best bet.

>>8378209
Fatties are the best.

>>8378221
>Still coping from last year.

>>8378209
>>8378295
SCPH-3900 model in the US has dvd player version 2.12 meaning it can play burned ps2 games with the freedvdboot exploit out of the box. And it can play ps2 games from the hdd which the slim cannot do.

If you plan to play games from your PC with a direct connection be ready for a lot of fucking around in settings. It uses SMB 1.0 which windows is trying to kill off.

Also if you use OPL manager make sure you rename your ps2 isos after getting the art for them to remove the "SLUS.xxx" if you want to add them to your hard drive. Otherwise they will not sort alphabetically.

>Sisters, we're all buying that game to own the chuds, I just pre-ordered it. Doug will never live this down until the next time we pay him.

Why the anti-semitic post? I'm calling the ADL on you, chud.

Just wondering if I missed any gems?
any games you would put down as essentials? I have about 40-60 mb extra I can add stuff so that's about 10-14 games

>>8378056
>>8378086
Warioware, shove-it-up-yo-own-ass game. Yeah I dunno, I dunno if there’s any gems where you know, you have to shove it up yo ass. But…c’mon now, the SNES Classic?

>>8378056
i have no idea what's on it initially so you'd have to clear that up first

Donkey Kong Country 2 & 3
Sunset Riders
Skyblazer
Magical Pop'n (Eng patch)
Pocky and Rocky 1 & 2
TMNT Turtles in Time
UN Squadron
Space Megaforce
Axeley
Darius Twin and Aero Fighters (for 2 players)
Magic Sword
Super Bomberman
Also Cotton 100% was just translated.
>>8376280

>>8378056
shit it was missing like actraiser, obviously DKC2 and 3, tetris attack, SMB All Stars (fuck you I like it), mega man x, sunset riders, and I really can't believe they didn't put the first SNES game on there, goddamn pilotwings

>>8377870
I would call you a pussy for being scared of something so retarded, but then I was reminded of shutting the game off when I saw the cutscene of the ice stone being dropped off in an alley.

>>8377883
That fucking reverb though. And that soundbyte was usually played before any music began

This scared me as a kid

>>8377870
>>8377883
Fuaaarrrk...can't wait to get a GDEMU clone and play Sonic Adventure 1/2 again.

>>8378071
Also a bangin' game.

>>8377865
Only my favorite, Chun Liiiiii lmao.

Rain

there used to be some good fan made shit for this

>>8377821
I think Halo is a pretty cool guy.

My very first JRPG.

>>8377759
I have autism and that game taught me English.

>>8378126
everything about this game sounds good on paper, where does it all go wrong?

>>8377759
Me and my friend played thru quest over the course of a summer and beat it.
I still remember the boss Guilty because we ended up making a wrestler based on him in the wwf/wcw games on n64.
I dont know if I could play thru it again now and I dont even remember almost anything about it but I have beat it once wit a friend.
also I remember earth magic having a huge boulder you could throw.
And water had healing.

>>8377759
i'm pretty sure i have autism and i'd say animal crossing. i only played the 3ds one but it was really good, and the gc one looks very cozy from the videos i've seen on it. pic related is my favorite villager personally, but hazel is a close second. the squirrels nigh are always great.

>>8377918
According to Wikipedia it was supposed to be a Sega System 18 game. That arcade board was an improved version of the famous Sega System 16 board, which itself was the inspiration for Mega Drive. I guess that the port is possible but it would suffer from inferior hardware. Sega CD could probably serve as a better target platform.

>>8377918
I think the arcade system combines a genesis VDP with another entire additional VDP (which might be a system-16 one), so that's way more sprites and layers than the genesis could do on its own. not much point really.

>>8377918
>genesis
A Dreamcast port would be more likely

>>8377727
incredibly based
this is the lost westone game right?
considering wonder boy 3 is one of the best platformers of all time this should be good

>>8377918
>Could a SEGA genesis port happen?
Probably. Colors may take a hit but it's possible to do a port.

>>8377714
>Not sure if applicable here
How hard is it to read a fucking sticky

>>8377726
Well I mean when oblivion launched on pc one could play it on windows xp. So in a sense it's a retro game.

But seriously tho which version is better? Goty or goty deluxe

>>8377713
N64 outside the Wiishop sucks on the Wii. Use your PC for emulation or get a N64 with Everdrive.

>>8377735
>Use your PC for emulation
This

>>8377713
The virtual console games work great, the actual emulator for n64 is terrible. The wii is great for playing anything 4th gen and back at 240p, that's all it's good at

The wii has always been a good system for emulation. N64 emulation isn't so good but you've got all the virtual console titles available that run well, and Yoshi's Island was on virtual console. But it's great for emulating 3rd and 4th gen, I think PSX can be emulated although I don't think copy protection shit is bypassed yet. Then of course you can play GameCube and wii games natively on the system with just isos.

I personally use it the most for PC Engine, Gameboy, and Wonderswan, since these days I mostly just use flash carts on my real systems. The wii is nice to play for niche systems like the Wonderswan that I don't own. On a small CRT the gameboy emulation looks gorgeous.

It is a great emulation machine for anything pre 64, it can do 240p too. I love playing gb and gba with the mote

I also have that N64 version that came bundled with DK64. Good times.

>>8377671
If anything that's a different color than the bog standard first release is """limited/unique""" then I guess I had a fuckton.

>>8377671
not retro and i don't know how limited it is but i was a shit kid with my consoles so my mom got me one of these. odd thing is the old wii still works, it's just that the gamecube controller part's lid is snapped off and thus dusty but still works. lost skyward sword for bloody years in it too and when i started it back up a few months back, the nunchuck connection died right before the second dungeon, because the wire is ripped and it disconnected. really wish i didn't have autism, and whatever else mental illnesses i probably have. that said, i really like the color scheme.

>>8378205
oh ya know what i think i know why she got me it. like half of my games won't play (got two brawl copies and neither work, galaxy breaks when bowser uses the alien ship, but nigh all my shitty shovelware games run fine) and realistically it's because they're scratched but maybe she thought it was part of the console not reading them.

>>8378039
>daddy
You must be a girl or a retard.

>>8377648
It's a wonkysoft game, odds are you can oneshot him

>>8377648
I know that's Zebris Forschwa piloting it but what the fuck is that machine?

>>8377898
Wonkysoft is best soft. SRW ceased to have any element of tactics once their systems were thrown out.

Would this be a good intro to the series? I got both parts for this on the Saturn recently

>>8378060
It's as good a game as any other but it's not a stand alone story, if you care about that. It follows the story of SRW 2, 3 and EX (while sort of retconning SRW4.)

Wouldn't say I loved it, but I would unironically rather play Shadow the Hedgehog these days.

>>8377827
I was a big fan of 2 as a kid but as an adult I'd say 1 is better

>>8377641
Cringe.

>>8378194
Based. You fucking Mario and Sonic spergs fuck your own mothers and make mentally ill posts on image boards non stop about your toddler games. At least other anon grew up.

>>8377635
I love every gam

>>8378415
oh yeah and i'm doin megaman 2 rn for the first time myself. what part did ya get stuck on? i just got to the wily level.

>>8378418
nta but i got stuck on the heat man stage for quite awhile.

>>8378431
the blocks over instadeath section? me too but then some other anon told me to use the second platform powerup and it worked like a charm when ya do it from the right place

>>8377631
Compartmentalize problems. If you spend your time focusing on the end goal of beating the game you end up making more mistakes trying to force your way to the end. If you learned at least one new thing each attempt you haven't failed. Sometimes it's how to deal with a tricky enemy placement or how to avoid taking damage more consistently. If a section tends to be really long, I try to break down the earlier parts into repeatable actions that I know work every time. Mega man is a great example; if jumping in one spot makes the enemy behave in a way that is predictable then you should keep doing it. It's all practice and execution. Once you get used to that loop it can be addicting, it almost begins to feel like a puzzle to be solved.

>>8378436
Thanks for the tip. I'll make sure to keep that in mind next time. It's been awhile since I've played megaman 2, but my first playthrough was on the atrocious iOS port, and I remember heat man took longer to beat than the other bosses.

>>8377614
Animal Antics on DKC2 was the hardest, hands down.

>>8377616
I completed 3 last year, it's alright. Not as good as the first two though.

The music is nowhere near as good for either. It's got it's own cosy charm though, it's worth a playthrough. Last boss is super easy too

>>8377616
I played 3, as another poster said, it's fine. It's a competent DKC game, a mild sequel to 2 of the most legendary games of all time.

I think it has the easiest levels of the three overall. That's not to say it doesn't have moments of difficulty, but it doesn't have as many of "those" levels, you know, the ones that eat away your extra lives and laughs in your face.

If you haven't played it, try it out. The overworld is the most interactive and interesting of the trilogy, and (hot take incoming) the graphics look the best of the trilogy, only downside is that the music is so-so; I guess they couldn't get David wise to come back to make the OST . You'll be very whelmed, but not disappointed, you'll have fun.


And yeah I also agree it's the coziest of the three.

>>8377617
The lost world levels are a pain. Animal antics is controller-throwingly frustrating

>>8377643
Overall though, I find DKC2 to be the most fair of the three. it's still difficult, but the hard parts don't feel like asshole level design like in DKC1.

>>8377623
Wow that's really cool I don't give a fuck.

>>8377623
