/vr/ - Retro Games

I liked some retro styled games. Odallus and Oniken was fun. Eventually I want to play Super Cyborg and Blazing Chrome since I enjoy Contra.
>But just play Cont-
I've beaten many of them and want new enemies and levels. Shovel Knight was solid. Bella Boomerang was okay, the biggest flaw was that bosses went on long cycles before you can damage them. Ganryu 2 is probably the best one I played from retro sequels and throw backs, but it has some bugs. 80's Overdrive is an Outrun clone that is more easy going. Outrun is noticeably better. SturmFront is okay, it's just that your character moves at a glacial pace. Robotron 2084 has significantly better movement speed, and that's about the grand daddy of twin sticks. If you want to do something that isn't retro looking but is obviously an updated game there is Resogun for an amped up Defender, and some of Atari's recharged games like Yar's Revenge, or Tempest 4000. Then you have Toe Jam and Earl: Back in the Groove which is the old game but slightly faster with more things to do on the maps along with varying difficulty modes. The normal random setting is easier than the original Genesis game but higher difficulties are harder than later levels of the Genesis game from floor 1. Then there is the *old* Turrican clone, Gunlord.

With that said, yes you need to dig around and look at a lot of videos. A lot of the time it'll just be easier and more time efficient to just boot up an emulator with a ROM list and just plug in games you haven't played before that have eye grabbing titles compared to sifting through modern releases.
