/vr/ - Retro Games

The Bally Astrocade is the best console of the 70s.

The 2D stealth Wolfensteins > Wolfenstein 3D

Sonic 1-3 would have been more fun if Robotnik was the main character

Castlevania should have been single-screen platformers. Both gameplay styles got it completely wrong.

Zero Wing is the best shooter on the Genesis, and it's a shame that it's associated with "All Your Base".

Chip from Chip's Challenge should have been the mascot of Microsoft, not Master Chief.

Nintendo should have worked with Software Creations instead of Rare in the 90s.

Nintendo should have gone 3rd party...with the N64. They could have done so much more on the Saturn and PStat.

Speaking of which, it's "PStat", not "PS1" or "PSX"

It's pointless to play retro fighting games because modern ones outclass them in every way.

The Atari 2600 controller should have had a stick on both ends, allowing for more complex games with an ergonomic design.

Metal Gear Solid was too dark and serious. There's room for that in video games, but Kojima doesn't have the writing or directing chops for drama. It would have worked better as a comedy.

Tank controls are inherently superior to everything else. It's both more intuitive and more realistic.

The popularity of EarthBound, years after its release, is prove that the world is increasingly becoming infantilized and obsessed with childhood.

It's possible for a game's controls to be too good. Bad controls create a sense of distance between you and the player, which is appropriate in many game storylines.

"Retro" games should only include games released for the NES. Super Mario World was the first modern video game.

1 handed controller + gyroscope > 2 handed controllers

Fallout should have been about preventing nuclear war, not living in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Final Fantasy games from 7 onwards should have no magic in them. Changing the name of "magic" to "Materia" doesn't make it any less incongruous to a sci-fi setting.
