/vr/ - Retro Games

I especially love Monkey Island 1/2, the first couple Pajama Sam games, and Grim Fandango.

My favorite modern ones are Thimbleweed Park, Ghost Trick, and Zack & Wiki. I'll offer that way too many point and click devs now just have revolting aesthetic sensibilities. I don't know why they're all so focused on scum-of-the-earth main characters, gross-out sequences, and disgusting jokes.

>n our scenario, we'd have a final price of about 499 EUR.

how come 330$ when it is 500euro on their estimation?

Better build your own rasberry/banana Pi portable

I agree with you, but doesn't it also seem like the emulator crowd wastes no opportunity to act like little pricks as well? We're all faggots, man. Except me, for I'm the only true gamer I know.

I don't even like Starcraft, but holy shit, man, thanks for the feels.

On a related note, I picked up Shadowgate, Snake Rattle & Roll, Gargoyles II, and Bomberman Hero for $20 total this weekend at the flea market. As soon as I'm done beating Gargoyles II I'm down to trade it for a ps1 rpg or something if we manage to get the BST thread going again. I'm not that great at it and had no idea how much it is worth. Don't care much anyway, I just want to trade it for Frontier Saga or Vandal Hearts II or something.

This does violate the rules and OP shouldn't have ever posted it. That being said I'm gonna give this game a go. It doesn't violate my personal rule (pic related) and looks interesting.

Why exactly is it so expensive? I get it's sealed in the box but there are used ones for a little over a hundred. What makes this one special?

Oh shit, you playin' the long con, man? Godspeed.

I work in a private university's art gallery as a curator. You know what these artists say? "Modern art of this type is meant to invoke emotion and expand our thoughts and imagination beyond normal bounds," or some such sophistry.

My MA is in philosophy. Say what you will about the practicality of that field of study, but it sure beats nebulous ideas of "creativity" that certain sects of the art world are obsessed with fawning over.

Video games. At least they have art assets.

Just because your company goes defunct doesn't mean your IP evaporates. Most likely a deal was struck between the original publisher and id. If not, then if the original company failed to defend their copyright after Wolfenstien took off, then they have little recourse to sue anymore.

low res graphics are an art form that died with the consoles that required them. These 3D fags haven't touched 2D in 20 years. No one in the industry know how to make effective 2D, save perhaps for some handheld devs. Management probably see pixels and shit graphics and thinks it will sell like hotcakes because of 'retro'.

and I've lived by this rule ever since
