/vr/ - Retro Games

>let's add in a few round characters and happy colors to camouflage the fact that we basically made a game out of mass destruction (blocks) and genocide (koopas and goombas)

did this game really need a port on every system in the known universe? also it seemed like a really boomer concept because I'm not even sure plumbers still existed in the 80s. it seems like a 50s thing.

This was the best game of all time if you were living in 1985

Did most people actually beat this? Or did they mostly just play the first world and then drop it?

i keep trying to beat this warpless but i cant manage it and it's kinda getting on my nerves. i keep getting tripped up around world 6/7. anyone know where some good hidden 1ups are

ITT: Post games you think should be universally considered a masterpiece
Starting with an easy one

post games that are perfectly difficult

How many times have you beaten this masterpiece?

What is this "motion resolution" digital foundry talked about in their CRT gawking video? It's just a measurement of response time/pixel blurring right?

Anyway, good CRTs are much better at this than LCDs (which ironically is actually really good for modern 3D games with lots of fullscreen camera movement and moving graphical effects. if you're playing mario or some shit made up pixel art, that actually looks excellent on LCD).

Scanlines only exist because they're the only way to get progressive scan from an interlaced CRT. The artist's intention, as shown in numerous examples of official artwork, was always the aesthetically superior sharp pixels.
