/vr/ - Retro Games

even 12 year olds that have never touched DKC2 have nostalgia for stickerbrush. it's not fair that that song exists

>buy game on eBay for 20+ dollars
>still has a $2.99 goodwill sticker on it

>big ass mall in my hometown as a kid
>two game stores in it
>babbages and software etc
>babbages had the weeb front covered with imports and animu DVDs
>software etc was stocked to the teeth with PC games
>babbages becomes a gamestop in the early 2000s
>software etc follows a few years later
>The former babbages shuts down
>The mall is left with the one shitty gamestop which is the same as all of the others

>youtuber makes video about a game
>someone thinks the game looks cool and decides to play it
>enjoys the game and makes a thread about it
>people discuss the game
>no mention of youtube, just on topic conversation about the gameplay and the story
>guy comes in talking about how /vr/ is going to shit because of youtube and shills
>rest of the thread is shitposting and complaining about youtube

Remember folks, if a youtuber has talked about a game before you aren't allowed to discuss it here or else you're a shill.

A lot of people don't think it's real, or are convinced it must be caused by how someone cared for the disc rather than manufacturing error.

>mfw some rare turbo CD and Saturn games I own got a spot or two of rot in the last couple years

>friends are all playing Destiny and nothing but Destiny
>bro who used to go on retro collecting adventures with me back in high school now says there's no point and I should just get a PS4
>co-workers asking "how you liking fallout 4?" and I have to explain (with much spaghetti) that I haven't ever played a fallout game before
>girlfriend tries playing super Nintendo for ten minutes and just gets frustrated
>tfw friends come over and the only game I own that they want to play is smash bros

At least I have you, /vr/. If only there was some way to play retro hardware online.
