/vr/ - Retro Games

Seconding this. Wish it was just a bit tougher in normal play so I wouldn't feel bad using the extra characters/soul powerups but it was still a lot of fun, and playing it without either is about on par with a normal Castlevania game.

>no platform is discriminated against, not even home computers
Not saying I agree with the rules, but as written any PC game released after 2000 is barred UNLESS it has a console port.

Which kind of begs the question for me, are we allowed to talk about Cave Story on the board? It's decidedly not retro in its original release but it has a Dreamcast homebrew. Do non-retro games being backported to retro hardware count as retro, provided you're talking about the content specifically in that port (e.g. the updated rerelease content of Cave Story wouldn't be retro despite remakes being allowed since it's a remaster of a non-retro game, but anything that's in the Dreamcast port would be fine)?

I want to do another stupid thing like this but I need a new word.
