My Fox says "Capri" on it but it's still a Fox.

I'm sure his and his wife's corpses would have held them over just fine

Rolands still sell for like a hundred bucks so...

It has perhaps the most accentuated example of the "Nintendo hard" difficulty curve. It starts out pretty hard right from the beginning and gets VERY hard really fast but then it gradually gets easier as you buy items and also just really get into the swing of it.

Ultima Underworld
Zero Tolerance

I agree these kind of games get better when you can sit close to a large screen.

This is the real reason not to play in 1 player mode too much once you have all your inputs recorded in muscle memory. It'll teach you bad habits.

If you play a lot, you should be able to 1cc your favorite fighting game easily. The only single player mechanic I ever felt like benefited me was how Soul Calibur has a leaderboard for fastest clear times which really pushed my aggressiveness with Siegfried when there was nobody in the arcade that wanted to get their clock cleaned.

This. If we're going to have discussion that's only tangentially related to retro games I much prefer the avatarfagging and general fun nostalgia to the hateful game trashing and /int/ shit.

You'll need to be a lot less subtle if you're trying to trigger the peens.

There was a pretty long period between 1985 when Amiga was introduced and 1989 when the VESA standard and "Super VGA" started being implemented where the Amiga version of games was undeniably superior and gamers would have preferred to play on that platform but like the anon above me says PC was just too widely used and those clones were actually cheaper. AGA was nice but it was too little too late to save Amiga in 92. ATI really nailed the coffin shut in 95 with the Rage.

Yes, buyer scams on eBay are easy that's why Anon said eBay was buyer centric. My point is that buyers cannot perpetrate scams like that on Craigslist, local Facebook groups and brick & mortar stores which makes those places seller centric by the terms of this discussion. Are we having problems with reading comprehension again? Why do people start arguments in languages they don't firmly grasp?

>>6016396
Like, by using counterfeit money or..? Run me through this hypothetical "scam" or are you just thinking of pain old theft?

>>6016374
And you have a very nebulous definition of "seller centric". In the context of this discussion though, it would be very difficult for buyers to scam Craigslist or brick & mortar sellers

>their second location
Nah. Dean's original location was in Colony Square in the Lazarus corridor before it was turned into the theater. Then they moved out of the mall onto the shopping center at the corner of Maple and Taylor that has since become a car wash. They moved back to the mall in what had been Maurice's until that slot got turned into Planet Fitness and they were moved to the other side of the corridor between Spencer Gifts and the arcade, which is where that photo was taken. During that time he sold the Newark shop to Maxine and limped along there in Zanesville for a while. Cheyanne didn't seem to want to run that type of shop so ultimately he sold off all the video game stuff to the bros that opened that location there on Harding. I don't even know those guys nor do I ever go in there. I don't know what happened to all the /toy/ and /tg/ and /co/ and /tv/. He may still be hauling it around to conventions to have something to do.

Maybe we should all "play" some El-Fish and find out for ourselves. I remember this program but nobody I knew used it as anything other than a DOS screensaver, with their own pictures as the background of they were REALLY tech savvy and had a scanner. From the Wikipedia though it says you can selectively breed them and grow randomly generated fractal plants too. That would have been a super novel mechanic at the time that somebody could have gotten super into.

Maybe Poe-kill-co developed software expanding this beyond virtual fish
