/vr/ - Retro Games

I remember liking Perfect Dark for Gameboy Color when I first bought it, but damn if the the mandatory training mission isn't the longest, dullest thing in the whole game.

Tech-wise it's really impressive for 8-bit. The graphics are pretty good and it's got lots of voice acting. Metal Gear Solid is definitely a much better game though, even with its simpler graphics and monotone beeps instead of voices. PD is kind of like MGS with better tech and more dumbed down gameplay and story. It's still cheap enough that I'd say it's worth picking up, though.

ITT games that pushed the hardware they were on to the limit

>full voice acting
>animations better than most GBA games in a GBC game
>properly recorded noises on weapons rather than bleeps and bloops

I was more into perfect dark for gbc.
It even had a rumblepack
