/vr/ - Retro Games

This isn't a good game in the sense of the word, but is fun to just fuck around with the physics.

Old games just play better really. Not nearly as much holding and they reward you for putting time into them.

They generally are overall better quality. "Polish" actually meant something. You could tell a lot of effort went into the games that we consider good.

Games that failed like pic related are remembered because of how different they were. Nice graphics, actual good voice acting, a decent story, dinosaurs, and funny health bar location. Just not really any modern games were this happens anymore.

Hail to the king baby.

I'd say this game embodies this thread topic

Didn't beat it till much later, controls were so bad I had no chance as a kid

What's the best /vr/ Let's Play and why is it Jurassic Park Trespasser by Research Indicates?

>fly half way around the world
>don't even go inside
that's not how one discovers a lost paradise

I still go back to play it sometimes. Its bad but interesting.

With all the hype about the new movie, I think it is time we pay a visit to a marvel of a game.
Basically, you play a girl with a broken noodle arm and try to survive in a majestic 3D world with full physics. It is incomplete as all get out, but still some of the most fun I have had playing old PC games.

Here is an amazing playthrough that includes a lot of information and history. Plus, it feels like it is being told by an old prospector around a campfire.

Here is a website that has some patches which make the game at least a little less glitchy (although the hilarious glitches are part of the fun)

You can probably torrent the installer in about five minutes.

I can't think of a more disappointing game that actually had the potential (unlike say, Daikatana).

Thread for retro games that had a lot of potential they didn't live up to.

Way, way ahead.

I can't even put my finger on why I like it so much. I have a weird fascination with it.

I wish this game was good.

Let's ignore the troll thread from a few hours ago, and attempt to have a serious discussion on the topic.

Are there any Reviewers/Let's Plays out there that give in depth history and information on the game?
Research Indicates has obviously perfected the art, but unfortunately it appears anything other than Trespasser and Crimson Skies is only available to SA members.

Alright, /vr/. What are some of the biggest failures in the video game industry? You know, games that fell flat right on their faces when they were released.
Pic really freaking related.
