/vr/ - Retro Games

I'll start. Was playing Alisia Dragoon and Shatterhand at the same time a few months ago, stalled out on both when work started picking up. Started up Actraiser last night and already on the last continent, so I'm not expecting it to be long before I finish. Probably doing Shantae next.

* Blaster Master
* Astynax

>mfw that's just the tip of my unfinished backlog iceberg

The games on the right are my 'must beat' by the end of the year. I play a lot of modern shit too, so it's hard to divide my time.

Also, I play everything on cartridges. Just beat Rockman and Forte this afternoon. Felt good, man. Fucking Burner Man.

>>1058018
I know the feeling


Just think about it like this. Know all those old people who go BACK to work after retiring?

Guess what you get to do.

>>1058049
Played X1 to death when it first came out.

These "incomplete" ones are only the ones I've been actually going for in 2013.

With a turbo controller (cheating, I know) it's really not that bad.I can generally beat both Reptyl and Firelord with one continue. The only problem I find so far in the game is the fin on the surfboard (which will ALWAYS hit something and ALWAYS kill you when you're not looking) and the amount of hits everything takes to kill (hence the turbo button, the game is basically designed like an autofire space shooter that they forgot to put autofire in).

Even without turbo it's not that horrible. I feel like people exaggerate the difficulty of the game immensely.

I'm going for a 100 completed games this year, not so many left now. Sorry 'bout the list language but I think you will understand anyway.

I started playing through Sierra adventure games about a week ago.

Done:
King's Quest I, II, III
Space Quest I
half of Leisure Suit Larry 1 and King's Quest IV

To Do:
all the rest

I used a walkthrough for King's Quest 1, 2, and 4, and for Space Quest 1, but that's because I'm not a huge fan of King's Quest or Space Quest.

>Completed
The Ultimate Doom
Quake

>Incomplete
Deus Ex
Doom 2
Legend of Zelda: LADX
TES 2: Daggerfall

I don't play many modern games, so I have no excuse to not finish these four.

Complete:
Super Metroid
Super Mario World
Zelda: A Link to the Past
Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Zelda: Majora's Mask
TMNT: Turtles in Time
Banjo Kazooie

Incomplete:

way too many others.

I made a lot of progress but there's much to go, non /vr/ but I finally finished Sunshine this year as well.

this thread is why that backloggery site exists
its much easier to sort your backlog there than using text documents

>>1060984
What did you think of Banjo Kazooie and Sunshine? They're among my favorite games of all time.

>Complete
Megaman 1-6
X1-3
Golden Sun
Super Metroid
Mario 3
Super Mario World

>Incomplete
Armored Core 1
FFT 1.3 Hardmode
Front Mission (Series)

I don't know if I should count the completed ones, I've finished them many times before but most I replay at least once a year. I really want to get into a Front Mission, but I'm kinda limited on time, so I wind up restarting after playing and putting it down for a month or two.

Anyone got any good recommendations on romhacks for the beaten titles? I'm not looking for anything exceedingly difficult, bizzare, or anything like that, just something that adds levels for Mario or changes the world for Metroid. So many romhacks out there are usually completely different from the normal gameplay, or at least SMWs seem to be. No kazio, please.

Eh, I'll just post all the games, there are only a few non-/vr/ ones and they're close anyway

>Completed
Ultima Underworld
System Shock 2 (beat it before so doesn't really count. it was first time playing co-op though)
Blaster Master
No One Lives Forever (i feel like it's honorary /vr/)
Myth
Sweet Home
Fallout
Battlespire
Avernum: Escape from the Pit (I feel like it's honorary, remake of Exile)
Exile (Amiga, the metroidlike one)
Lands of Lore: Throne of Chaos
Dungeon Master 2

>Stalled
Shin Megami Tensei
SaGa 2
Metal Max Returns
Ur-Quan Masters
Anvil of Dawn

>To start

Ultima Underworld 2
Lands of Lore: Throne of Chaos
Dungeon Master
Normality
Black Crypt
King's Field
Dragon Quest VII
The Divide: Enemies Within
Hell Night
Faxanadu
Fallout 2

I have quite a few classics to get through. I'm pretty excited to play some stuff but life is getting in the way a bit more than it has for the past few years.

>>1061050

also all of these, my dos collection is way neglected

Pretty good year so far overall.

complete:
about 60% of the games I own

incomplete:
about 40% of the games I own

This ratio has stayed the same for about 10 years now, though with me buying fewer games these days, I see the completed percentage going up over time.

>>1061134
>complete
>Columns
I want you to explain.

>>1061050
Avernum IS a remake of exile. Stop at the fourth one.
Also, Top taste bro.

>>1061405
Hah. I was just going through the list on my backloggery. I just counted it complete after getting my highest score. Not really complete, but honestly fuck that game anyway.

For those looking at my "yet to play" list and thinking I'm insane, I know I can't and weren't planning to get through all of them by the end of 2013. The things I have as "I MUST beat this by the end of 2013" are just the Megaman GB games and Final Fantasy I-III.

The weird non sequitur games in the completed list are from the /vr/ Gauntlet.

>>1061707
arent you getting tired of mega men after playing through so many

>>1061735
Surprisingly not. I've also played through Megaman Unlimited and have plans to play through Megaman Revolution, Megaman Rock Force (I'm surprised I've never heard people talk about Rock Force when they talked about the first two fangames mentioned), RM4MI, and any other hacks that people might recommend.

There's just something about the Megaman formula I love. I have played through 12 classic-style games so far (I finished Wily's Revenge since making that image) and I'm nowhere close bored.

>>1061012
BK was a childhood game, that I had just never been able to finish because of massive childhood rage fighting gruntilda.

it's still one of my favorite games though. Every piece in it is so wonderful.

Sunshine was also a lot of fun, though that game can be frustrating as hell as well. Fuck that last area.

It's a very beautiful game though.

In another 10 years, I'll probably play through them again.

>>1061797
They're among my favorite games of all time. I'm currently replaying the 3D Mario series as I've never beaten Galaxy or Galaxy 2. I just finished Mario 64 and enjoyed it muuuuuch more than I remembered. I hope Sunshine holds up.

Cool story, I know. Anyhow, I'm glad you enjoyed them..

>>1061778
Rockman 5 Air Sliding is a definite must.

>>1059320
Holy shit, gotta give you cred on that. Do you buy most of the newer games?

>>1061006
This, why don't yall just use Backloggery?

If you do, add me:

http://backloggery.com/biomechanical

Never heard of Backloggery. I've been using HowLongToBeat. Gets the job done, as well as giving estimates on how long you can expect the games to be.
