/vr/ - Retro Games

>/vr/ would rather argue that someone else is having fun the wrong way than actually just play games
This change in the board is most concerning and while I have some theories as to why that is they are irrelevant - what matters is what you did as a 12 year old is not what anyone else did and you should be celebrating that the games you enjoyed are played regardless of how others seek to do so. These CRT shader threads serve to highlight both that old games can be played on new hardware and that not having OG hardware need not limit ones ability to have fun and an enjoyable experience. if we wish to push even further it goes that with modern computing capabilities one can (somewhat) mimic NASA supercomputer tier hardware of your nostalgia of choice to get a feeling of playing [your favourite game] in a scenario of you have unlimited money at the time. The reality of most people playing on shitty 14" CRTs that were badly calibrated need not impede us any more.

I'm currently going through each individual level in the commercial wads (Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, TNT, Plutona). Each level is done pistol start, Ultra Violence, and with no saving. Although I've been playing Doom for 25 years, I have a new found appreciation for these maps. The design choices and level layouts make a lot more sense when you're not carrying over your weapons and armor from the previous level.

Those additional paths that are seemingly there to pad the level size and waste your time? Their true purpose can be seen when you're out of ammo and running around with fists. That green armor that's probably ignored since you still have blue armor from the last level? Now it's a life saver.

Also recording .lmp files for each level completed, both the successes and bloopers.

i just want to mow down hundreds of squishy zombie gunners, can you help me?
