/vr/ - Retro Games

I play modern online stuff like Payday 2 and Battlefield Bad Company 2 with people I know.

As for retro gaming, I just don't really have the friends for it. I end up playing Streets of Rage Remake with the stupid bot.

Last Halloween I did a marathon (pretty much a few hours a day because I had to work except on Halloween) the week leading up to Halloween night, vowing I would beat Castlevania 3: Dracula's Curse. The game doesn't even get bad for me until Death but I was stuck on him for awhile. Finally beat him after a few days of trying. After that Dracula took a few times but I managed to beat it on Halloween night. I felt so accomplished and it was awesome, but I had no one to share it with. It was fun and I felt accomplished but with no one around who cared it just felt more hallow. I would have loved to marathon it with someone taking turns, but nobody likes old games or Halloween as much as I do (whom I can find anyway).

So no. I just basically play old stuff alone.

Check your chauvinism at the door! This thread is all about your favorite main characters of the female gender. Obvious ones like Samus, Lara Croft, Shantae are certainly welcome, but I'd like to see some more obscure entries if you have them.

For example, a thread earlier brought to my attention Legend of the Ghost Lion for NES. You play as a little girl named Maria who sets out to find her lost parents.

I suppose you could also count games give the option to be female, like The 7th Saga. My example isn't that obscure, but you had the choice between Hayate (Male on the Left) or Kaede (Female on the Right). They both play exactly the same, though their sprites are much different.
