/vr/ - Retro Games

>>1064717
Don't know if this goes here, but my GG doesn't work anymore. It lights up when I power it on, but then it shuts right off.

Any idears?

Rate them from best to worst.

You forgot based Nomad.

>>1064784

I don't know if the Nomad really counts, yeah sure it was technically a hand-held gaming console, but it was pretty much just an expensive portable Sega Genesis

Game Gear was terrible, I'd put it on the level of the lynx imo

Turbo express was the shit

>>1064717
Well outside of gameboy the ones that qualify as retro are pretty shit.

Game Gear wasn't bad and NeoGeo Pocket Color was awesome, but GB was cheap and full of games people recognize.

Basically all other companies learned what Sony and Nintendo are learning now, nobody buys really expensive handheld with no battery life just to play 30 minutes in the car now and again.

>>1064795
The Turbo express is just a portable PCE/Turbografx.

>>1064804
Game Gear would've been the shit if it had decent battery life.

Shit, the Nomad could've absolutely dominated the handheld scene if it had decent batter life. And if Sega took it seriously.

>>1064752
this

>>1064838
Well Sega was the company of brilliant ideas poorly realized.

Hell so much of whats made Nintendo successful are ideas tried long before by Sega and Atari just not done well or done too soon. Always felt like Sega actually liked games too, but the original founder was a big tech buff of a nerd. Probably changed over time with leadership shifts.

>>1064838
Game Gear only had a handful of games worth even checking out, and even then they were shoddy at best

>>1064873
I dunno. Maybe it was because I grew up with only a GG. I had nine games which I loved, and there were plenty more I wanted.

To mention:
Ren & Stimpy
MMPR
MMPR The Movie
Batman Returns
Riddick Bowe Boxing (only game I hated)
Sonic Chaos
Sonic Triple Trouble
Jurassic Park
Streets of Rage (lost it)
Sonic 2 (bought it years later used)

Could be a crapped out capacitor.

>>1064795
Game Gear is just a portable Master System

>>1064873
Fuck off Fagtenyearold, the GG is way better than the babyshit green screen GB it was competing against.

Does the pocket color have any games that aren't watered down versions of their arcade/home console counterparts?

>>1064954
Fresh from /v/?

>>1064979
>le /v/ xD

Get out.

>>1064970
Yes, it has the card fighters series, which is supposed to be good.

I'd consider the Nomad to just be flat out better than the Game Gear.

Certain Genesis games will always be hand-held titles for me since I played them on a Nomad. Castlevania: Bloodlines being the most prominent.

>>1064717
I'm jealous of that color, OP

>>1064873
Hey /vr/ mod, SUCK MY FUCKING COCK. Stop trying to delete my posts you fucking sperglord.

Reposting this due to deletion:

Game Gear is way better than the babyshit green screen GB it was competing against.

Which Sonic Game Gear title had the best music?

>>1065303
Yeah it was so good it failed miserably while the gameboy line is iconic as fuck and is the go to when anyone thinks of a handheld, while sega is left in the dust... this seems to happen a lot to sega

>>1065315
How can one person be so fucking ignorant? Oh right, it's a Fagtenyearold of course you're a fucking idiot.
>failed miserably
LOL NO
>gameboy line is iconic as fuck
Maybe iconic as a cautionary tale as to how to not make a system to have a 90% kiddie shovelware library?
>when anyone thinks of a handheld, while sega is left in the dust
You mean like the 3DS today? It's a joke Shitendo couldn't even outdo a fucking tablet pad casual shit.

Confirmed for never having played a real game outside of Shitbabbytendo.

>>1065334
Oh yeah I forgot about sega's new hardware! .... oh wait LOL

>>1065334
Take your shit to /v/, both of you. GG and GB were both great.

>>1065303
While I respect your opinion, you are wrong. The GB had better battery life, better and more varied games, and was cheaper.

You aren't going to win this one, just leave.

>>1065339
At least they got out in time to be remembered fondly instead of being a fucking joke among all gamers and being the kings of shovelware and rehashed Mario Party 35.

>>1065352
> better battery life
Probably takes less battery to power a babyshit green 2 color screen.
> better and more varied games
Horseshit. Back this up with examples for both sides or fuck off.
>cheaper
Of course it was, typical Shitendo stuck a gen behind like always, of course it's cheaper to sell a bunch of idiots a calculator screen.

It's not 1992. The console war is over. You can like both Sega and Nintendo products.

And even if you don't you can discuss them without shitposting.

>>1065357
My gameboy, the original one, would take four AA energizer batteries. They would last me two months. I know someone that had a game gear, six AA batteries would last fifteen minutes to an hour.

Game boy has some stellar titles like Metroid II, Link's Awakening, an amazing Contra game, six megaman games, and puzzlers like Megalit. And yes, I actually own a real copy of Megalit.

The game gear was roughly twice as expensive as the game boy and the cartridges were expensive. We're talking almost two hundred dollars new for the GG and sixty bucks for the first party carts. The game boy was 159.99 and the gameboy carts were about fifty bucks.

>>1065375
Game Gear has Sonic (runs faster and looks better than anything Shovelwareboy could do until 2001), Golden Axe RPG, Streets of Rage, the best version of the NES Megaman games, and puzzlers like Puyo Pop.
If you can't afford to game then don't bother, poorfag. I guess you ARE playing on a calculator screen so that doesn't really count as gaming anyway.

>>1065387
>any of those games
>Better than Metroid 2
SHIGGY

>>1065387
The game boy even had a faster processor
>Gameboy
>Custom 8-bit Sharp LR35902[18] core at 4.19 MHz.

>Game Gear
> 8-bit 3.5MHz Zilog Z80

And all that color was wasted because the LCD for the GG was cheap as shit, blurry, and ugly. It also was the primary reason for the great battery famine of 1990.

>>1065387

all of those games are either shit or have better master system equivalents by a mile

>>1065425
Still better than a 2 color shit green screen.
>>1065427
You're an idiot and know nothing.

>>1065387
>>poorfag

GTFO dick balloon, you give sega fans a bad name.

man, this thread is like if /v/ was around in 1996

i give this place until say January before it's nonstop shitposting

>>1065434
I'd love for you to prove to me how a first generation color LCD screen with bad motion blur and poor contrast is superior to a Reflective STN LCD @ 160x144. You know I can do this all night right? I'm anxiously awaiting your reply.

>>1065449
> first generation color LCD screen
AKA bleeding edge technology, typical SEGA being pioneers
>shitgreen 2 color calculator screen @ 160x144
I rest my case.

>>1065453
Yep, they pioneered it so much that they didn't factor in the battery life and lost the handheld race. Which one still makes handhelds and which one makes shovelware?

I really think that you should reconsider where your life is headed.

>>1065472
>Which one still makes handhelds and which one makes shovelware
Umm, Nintendo for both I guess?
>I really think that you should reconsider where your life is headed.
And you're any better for sitting here arguing on /vr/?

>>1065472
Sega fans can't into logic, they have really bad inferiority complex because they have bad taste in a company that treated its fans like piles of expendable cash to the point of just flat out losing the trust of the gaming public at large.

>>1065483
Hey don't judge me, I'm sitting here on a wednesday night with nothing better to do than talk shit to this idiot. I mean there are a lot of things on the internet to argue about
>war in syria
>womens rights
>tumblr pictures of taylor swift

but the sega fucking game gear? That ship sailed long ago. This guy deserves it.

>>1065489
I think you meant
>Nintendo fans can't into logic, they have really bad inferiority complex because they have bad taste in a company that treated its fans like piles of expendable cash to the point of just flat out losing the trust of the gaming public at large.

>>1065489
Sad thing is, M$ is doing the exact same thing. It's not only going to cost them the console race but it's going to cost them their entire business. Lessons from yesteryear kids, remember them!

>>1065493
You have any facts to back that up? Mario is more popular than ever, Nintendo has literally billions of dollars in cash lying around. They could buy sega if they wanted to. Sony too.

If you have any facts or figures to prove that Nintendo's fans don't trust them anymore I would love to see it.

>>1064739
Not so much best to worst, more like favorite to least favorite. Though 1-4 can shift around depending on the day of the week.
Lynx
Wonderswan
Turbo Express
Neo Geo Pocket Color
Geme Gear
Game.com

What's funny is that a lot of ideas from this abortion were used later in the Nintendo DS. Game.com had dual slots, touchscreen, and internet connectivity in 1997.

>>1065493
Except for the fact that compared to sega, nintendo is infinitely more successful. How can you have an inferiority complex when you're literally superior?

>>1065497
If they could buy out their competitors why haven't they? Maybe because they're not actually that well off after having 2 failed home consoles in a single decade.

>start thread with good intentions
>dissolves into a troll baiting flame war over Sega and Nintendo

>>1065496
Dual slots isn't really a technical marvel, just a "meh" convenience thing. The touchscreen is quite literally fucking abysmal. I own one, I made my dad buy it for like 20 bucks in the box at some game store because it looked cool as fuck. I had sonic, fighters megamix, and it came with lights out. It barely registered the right taps on lights out, and you'd better fucking forget about typing stuff on it. The internet connectivity might as well had not been there at all, you needed a whole entire seperate modem for it as big as the console itself almost, and even then it couldn't surf the net or anything. just plain text email.

"Web access was text-only, and the later, single-cartridge versions of the "Game.com" could not access the web or send e-mail at all. None of the games had actual online play with other people, only high score uploads. The monthly fee, two extra peripherals, and clumsy and confusing setup which required users to remain close to a phone line to connect the console to the modem meant that only a small percentage of "Game.com" owners had a subscription to the "Game.com" internet service."

Even as an 11 year old, I knew I got tricked hard

>>1065512
Pride

Their competitors would never sell.

>>1065512
The gamecube wasn't a failure though, it just wasn't the best selling console of it's generation. If you want a failure, take a look at the Dreamcast.

>>1065512
Do you really think their competitors would just LET nintendo buy them? Do you not know how this stuff works? And even if the Wii U isn't doing so hot, 4 out of the top 6 best selling consoles of all time are made by... you guessed it, Nintendo! So from a pure numbers standpoint, nintendo shits all over sega and rapes sonic's autistic asshole inside out twice over

>this guy saying the game gear is better than the gameboy
Hey segautist,does the game gear has a bigger and better library,can last more time with less batteries and does it has memorable and original franchises?

>>1065523
The Gamecube's biggest problem was that everyone thought that it was incredibly underpowered in comparison to the PS2 and XBOX, when in actuality, it wasn't

The fact that a lot of it's games looked like N64 titles (because some of them, like Animal Crossing, were), didn't help much either

>>1065528
also
their handhelds ALWAYS sell millions[the DS is on par with the PS2] so they cant went bankrupt unlike sega and the reason of why they kept the gameboy with only 2 colors was to have a longer battery life[and it only uses 2 unlike gamegear that uses 6 and cant last more than 6 hours]

What roms should I download for my GBA emulator? I've played all the pokemons and superstar saga, is there anything else worthwhile?

Please bear in mind, I'm playing these games on my iPad so I don't have a joystick, and don't listen to the GBA music, instead I crank up the Beastie Boys' album Licensed to Ill.

>>1065535
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon. It feels really dated at first but it's one of the best Metroidvanias made.

>>1065535
Why would you ask that here? nothing you referred to is retro

I was just going to make a Game Gear thread.

I love my Game Gear. System is so underrated, it really hurts. I really only got into it this year. Now I have over 50 games. Here's a pic of my boxed collection.

The best games I have are: Psychic World, pretty much all Sonic related games, Ax Battler: Legend of the Golden Axe, Shinobi II: the Silent Fury, Land of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse, Power Rangers and it's sequel, Aleste, the Majors: Pro Baseball, Bust-a-Move, Shining Force: the Sword of Hajya, Dragon the Bruce Lee Story, Virtua Fighter Animation, Vampire: Master of Darkness, Dragon Crystal, Garfield: Caught in the Act, Streets of Rage II, Arcade Classics.

There's really just so many good games. People just don't want to give it a chance.

>>1065620
>There's really just so many good games. People just don't want to give it a chance.

It's not just Game Gear, but pretty much every Sega console except the Dreamcast has some sort of Stigma of being "unworthy" in the presence of the almighty Nintendo

Also, to be fair, the Game Gear was pretty much just a souped up Master System. You know, like how the Gameboy was a modified NES with a "cabbage" colored screen

>>1065635
Be careful, the gestapo mods might ban you for talking bad of Nintendo.

>>1065620
The whole system was really underrated, man. It had some cool titles and plenty of charm by itself.

Shame it didn't turn out so well. I wish I had the whole japanese library for it, myself.

>>1065620
Have you tried Ren and Stimpy and Jurassic Park?

Also, did you get a broken or good GG? My old GG doesn't work anymore, and I'd like to know how to fix it.

>>1065635

I dunno, Saturn still holds a high regard, higher than Dreamcast I think.

>>1065646

Those are all your games? Strangely even though I speak Japanese I don't attempt to collect Japanese GG games. I got for NTSU-U/C only.

>>1065651

I have a GG with good capacitors I got in a trade. I have not tried those games, I have heard mixed things about Ren and Stimpy, some says it's great others say it's shit. As for Jurassic Park I tried to win an auction for the Lost World but failed, price was too high for me. I haven't tried the original Jurassic Park either

>>1065680
Nope, I wish. Might start soon, though.

Those small boxes are just so nice, and they have some great artwork.

>>1065697

Oh, I was really impressed. Regarding collections, this guy has a cool PAL collection:

http://dark-matter.110mb.com/gg-games.html

Also there is a guy on SegaAge who has every game for the Game Gear, NTSC-U/C, NTSC-J and PAL and he's working on getting the Brazillian versions. Most of them are still sealed. It's nuts.

I actually like the NTSU-U/C boxes most because of how much variety there is in design. Look at the 18 boxes I have in that pic. There's 3 different kinds of styles and they all look good. Also, I only got Chessmaster because fucking Gandalf is on it

>>1065720
There were some pretty nice japanese exclusives: a portable version of Gunstar Heroes, a Coca-cola themed platformer, a game starring Gorbachev, an enhanced version of Mappy and bunch of other cool stuff.

There's a Klonoa Moonlight Museum up on ebay right now. I'd buy it myself if I had a wonderswan, haven't ever seen it up for sale before. Might just be me though.

>>1065556
License to Ill is retro I guess. Not /vr/ but retro /mu/ maybe.

Sega had great games but they're so much less popular. You have to work to find good Sega stuff, beyond the obvious.

>>1066925
Like I've said previously, so many of Sega's Genesis & Game Gear titles were a product of their time that their mystique is lost on newer generations. It's unfortunate, but true

>>1064947
The GG has lower resolution display but more colours than the SMS. There were third-party adaptors for playing SMS games on the GG but this results in a loss of resolution.

>>1067194
This thread is specifically not about Fagtenyearold consoles, stop trying to criticize others ability to read when you can't you piece of shit.

>>1067198
This thread was NEVER not about the Gameboy. Also, please do us all a favor and go back to /v/

We don't appreciate shit posting here

>>1067198
>Fagtenyearold

Well that sounds nothing like Nintendo. How did you fuck up so badly?

>>1067209
How do I "go back to /v/ hurr >:[" when I already have it open in a tab and browse both boards?

the PC Engine LT was absolutely amazing for it's time, as not only does it have backlight, but also pixel density so high it shows almost all pixels of games originally made for a TV.

Too bad it's also one of the rarest handhelds out there.

>>1067264
Can you attach a Turbo CD?

>>1067280
You sure can. It has a controller port because you otherwise wouldn't be able to hold it.

You can attach a Super CD-ROM2 as well, but it requires an extremely rare adapter.

Between a WonderSwan Colour and a Neo Geo Pocket Colour, which is a better purchase?

>>1067280
>get on the bus with that shit

>>1067292
The NGPC is a better console overall, especially if you like action-oriented games. The Wonderswan has tons of RPGs...but you have to be able to read moonrunes to make any real use out of half of its library. If you can read and speak Japanese, it's a toss-up. If you just want to pick up an play, there are few consoles as good as the NGPC.

>>1064970
I'd hardly say they're watered down, mostly due to their ability to stand on their own pretty well.

But you've got Card Fighters, Dark Arms, the Metal Slug games, Cotton (if you can manage to find it), and there's more, but I just don't know all the ones worth the purchase.

NGPC games are dirt cheap, really not sure why more people on /vr/ don't have one. Most of the great games are under $10, except for the harder to find ones, or CIB copies.

>>1067209
Never not about the GB, but definitely not about the GBA. The GBA isn't retro.

>>1067292
>>1067319
Second the NGPC. It's comfortable, the stick is actually a joystick, so you've got incredibly precise controls. Most of the games are dirt cheap if you don't mind buying them loose, and even still, CIB copies are almost always under $40.

The only issue is that you might have a problem finding it or games for it out in the wild, but that's about it.

I'm seriously considering getting a Nomad. Are there tips or a guide to buying one? I'm utterly confused on what adapters to buy, if I need a battery pack, etc.

>>1064873
You can expand the library with an attachment that will allow it to play Master System games. So I guess there's that

>>1065310
sonic pinball

>>1065620
I still love mine too, shame that the TV tuner doesn't work anymore due to the digital switchover though. Anyone remember the games that came out towards the end of its lifespan with bigger cartridges like micro machines and sonic pinball... the graphics on them games felt like megadrive games

>>1064873
It's not like the GB library had that many decent games either, besides a bunch of Mario Lands and Tetris (which the GG all had counters for).

>>1065534
Gameboy used 4 shades of grey and Gamegear had 32 colors out of a palette of 4096.

Battery life was honestly the only thing that killed the GG.

>>1068568
Be careful as it suffers from the same variably brittle solder around the DC power socket as the Genesis model 2 can. Mine is like that. Waiting on a safety bit to repair it.

As for battery pack, I couldn't say. That's really if you legitimately want to play it on the go or not.

I really want a white GG

>>1067264
Did they make a battery pack for the LT? If not, I'd stop just short of calling it a portable.

Is the Nomad's sound/video decent? I've read the colors are pretty faded, and the sound washy

>Game Gear
One of my buddies in middle school had the blue Game Gear but didn't like it so he sharpie'd the whole damn thing black. Later the ink was coming off due to use and it looked like it had blue grips.

I had a Game Gear, and later, a Game Boy Color. Maybe if I had a game I liked for GG, I would've liked it more, but it was a chubby, battery-eating piece of shit in my younger eyes. On the other hand, I adored my GBC.

>>1070039
>I adored my GBC
Same. I had an Atomic Purple GBC and I loved that thing to absolute pieces

Unfortunately one of the buttons has stopped working and I can't play much of anything anymore except Game & Watch Gallery 2

>>1069182
i was hoping to just keep it plugged in all the time. So I don't need a battery pack if i'm planning to do just that right? just the right adapter?

>>1070015
seconding this question as well

>>1070296
Probably Tetris most likely. Also apparently the Booster is incapable of rendering sound from the cartridge, but it does give you the option of playing a music CD from your playstation at the same time

>>1070015
>>1070326
You mean the unit itself or when it's outputting with the A/V cable? The screen itself is really lousy but as a Genesis unit it sounds fine. Not as good as the model 1 and slightly, slightly not as good as the 3/4 motherboard model 2s, but it sounds very good and far better than the bad model 1s and 2s.

>>1070335
what a piece of shit then haha,

just discovered this and have been emulating it on my phone. it's a pretty awesome puzzle platformer. starts out similar to the arcade game but then expands on the premise. first time i've ever been able to really enjoy an original gameboy game.

any other pre gameboy color games you would recommend?

>>1064735
game gears are well known to have faulty capacitors that start to fail about 5 years after being made. by now a good majority of game gears have weak or no sound, and dim or almost non-existant video.

it can also cause games to not read and the system to not stay powered on.

based on your model it takes about 10-13 caps and it will work good as new, very easy to replace however the crappy caps they used were these tiny surface mount style kind so if you use more traditional caps you will need to tuck them into open spaces to be able to close the case.

Does the portable Playstation count?

Due to the new gestapo rules of /vr/ you are NOT allowed to discuss NGPC anymore. It is a "6th gen" console according to Wikipedia (because we all know Wikipedia is the word of God) and is on the same level as the Dreamcast.

I repeat, NEO GEO POCKET COLOR IS NO LONGER CONSIDERED RETRO AND IS NOT ALLOWED TO BE POSTED ON /vr/.

If you don't like this remember to go to /q/ and to complain about how pointless and arbitrary the generation ruling is.

>>1072476
I'm still waiting for all these posts to be deleted just like we had to put up with in the SEGA General earlier.

What's that? It would be entirely misguided, pointless, and stupid to remove these posts?

Now you know how we feel.

>>1072491

It would be within the rules to delete the posts.

Get over it. It's against the rules until the rules are changed.

>>1072491
Don't forget all the fucking arcade ports on the DC as well.

And the rules will not change if Sega fans stop speaking out against them. It's not fair for only Sega stuff to be deleted. NGPC and Dreamcast are both "6th gen" and they are both CLEARLY /vr/ related.

>>1072495

This isn't a dictatorship, take the bitching to /q/. You're not going to do anything besides derail threads and piss people off by keeping it here.

>>1072496
actually it is, the janitor just deletes whatever the fuck he wants. retro related or not, most of the time its just because hes trying to white knight for sevenleaf and do damage control on his stupidity.

y'all jelly?

>>1072503

>>1072512
Whatever you gestapo boot licker bitch

Why did anything mentioning the Dreamcast just get deleted while all the NGPC posts stayed up ITT? They're both retro why is only one console being targeted for unfair deletion?

>>1072563
Because /vr/ has become a fascist regime based upon the beliefs and whims of one very opinionated mod.

>>1072592
>fascist regime based upon the beliefs and whims of one very opinionated mod
>fascist regime
seriously?
the rules are right there for everyone to see: no dreamcast. You can debate whether or not that's a fair rule, but it's the duty of the mods and janitors to enforce it.
I can understand why you would be angry about NGPC posts not being deleted, but remember, "never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." The NGPC simply isn't on many peoples' radar, whereas the dreamcast was a big deal and was/is hotly debated on /vr/.
If you actually believe there is some sort of conspiracy against the dreamcast, the SEGA fanbase, etc., you are deluded.

>>1072612
A post about a Dreamcast game is still a hell of a lot more on topic than your shitty post is. DC is retro, get the fuck over it.

>>1072612
There's nothing to debate. The Dreamcast is "retro." It came out 14 years ago. The real debate is whether the PS2 and GameCube et al count as retro yet or not

>>1069204
Speaking of special edition colrs, I really want to get one of these red Magic Knight Rayearth GGs, but they're expensive as fuck, and I'd still have to replace all the caps.

>>1072620
I'd say not as they came out after 1999.

>>1072626
1999 is an arbitrary cut-off date that can only get more irrelevant as time goes on

>>1072618
>>1072620
>>1072630
These were rules set in stone by m00t when the board first opened six months ago. It is not up for debate by anyone except him or a mod

If you have a problem with it, go to /q/

>>1072630
Except it's not, Wonderswan, NGPC and Dreamcast are clearly cut from a different cloth than the PS2 etc. They're obscure consoles which deserve a home on /vr/. It's not that hard to get a PS2 thread going on /v/.

>>1072612
>Is hotly debated
I've been here since day one. I saw the Dreamcast rule get put in place because AT THE TIME The WiiU wasn't in peoples' hands.

NOW, however. we are int he 9th console "generation". Dreamcast isn't really "6th generation" since it only existed as a competitor to the Playstation. And was killed by the SUBSEQUENT "generation's" Playstation 2.

The only problem it has NOW is that it's specifically called-out in the rules. And from observations there's really only 2 camps.

1). Strict rule-sticklers who shitpost every single time the Dreamcast is mentioned.
2). People who actually want to discuss the goddamn console and it's fantastic library.

I hate to say it, but this is very QUICKLY becoming a "My Little Pony" issue. The shitposters are attempting to make every mention of the Dreamcast look like it's the real issue causing the problems.

Bottom line and the easiest solution: Accept the Dreamcast for it's retro status. Because it is. Even if it wasn't 5.5 months ago, it is NOW.

Let the shitposters with their "GO BACK TO /V/" culture find somewhere else, and soemthing else to target.

>>1072670
Also, as an aside. Playstation 2 is still getting new games. It won't be "retro" for a long while. So there's that.

>>1072635
This. /v/irgins were bred and raised on PS2, it was the first console for many of them (I'd even say the majority).

>>1072670
>Dreamcast isn't really "6th generation" since it only existed as a competitor to the Playstation.

Actually back in 2000-2001 it was considered to be looking like a goddamn serious competitor to the PS2 (especially at the 2000 E3), however all of those hopes quickly vanished when Sega threw in the towel and went third party in early 2001.

>>1072703
What could have been is irrelevant because it wasn't.

to be honest when I was a kid I didn't even know the game gear or the nomad existed, can't remember seeing them in shops or even being advertised. looking back I would have loved to have a nomad, having a portable mega drive would have been the shit.

>>1072634
no. no they weren't.

some mod added (including the dreamcast) in the sticky a few weeks after the board was made.

>>1065620

I should really slow down. I've got 8 more CiB games coming the mail sometime. It'll be sweet to have them lined up but I am admittedly spending more money than I would like to

Also, I like to play the Skies of Arcadia game on my VMU. Fucking Pinta, give me that good shit

>>1072938
I could never figure out how to get the Chao from Sonic Adventure onto my VMU. ;_;

Hey I see that a lot of the posts in this thread are discussing Neo Geo Pocket Color, I take it that it's okay to discuss Dreamcast in this thread as well? They're both "6th gen" systems.

>>1074002
I guess so since they're both "le 6th gen".
Anyone try 18 Wheeler for the Dreamcast? How is it?

>>1074002
>>1074008
Gentlemen, need I remind you that this thread is meant to discuss HANDHELD GAMING PLATFORMS

>>1074019
Yeah but theirs posts about the NGPC and that shares similarities with DC so I guess that goes here too?

If it really bothers you we could discuss VMU games.

>>1074002
>>1074008
Instead of derailing the thread please just report the posts that are against the rules.

>>1074024
*there's
Oops.

>>1074008
>NOOOOOO, I GOT PULLED OVER FOR SPEEDING

>>1074025
They're not against the rules though, everyone knows NGPC belongs here as much as DC does.

>>1074027
Is it really like that? That makes me want to play it more now. Fuck I hate living in a small town where the only place with blank CDs is across town.

Dreamcast thread

Either enforce the rules correctly or fix them.

>>1072748

Too bad the Nomad sucked in practice and ate through batteries faster than the Game Gear and Lynx combined

Why is Neo Geo Pocket Color allowed and Dreamcast isn't?

>>1072748
>>1074063
Well with all the modders out there, I'm sure someone can whip up a Nomad that runs on fewer batteries and has a backlit screen

or you can just go the easier route and stuff a bunch of roms onto an SD card and play them on your PSP or what have you

Delete the Neo Geo Pocket Color posts or keep Dreamcast ones up, you can't just pick on SEGA fans fucking faggot janitor.

>>1074071
Dude are you mentally brain dead or something?

About as mentally brain dead as the faggot janitor who deleted SEGA General threads which include a passing mention to Dreamcast but keeps up all these rule breaking posts.

So what did you guys think of Sonic Adventure? I don't think SEGA could have made a better game for Sonic's first real 3d title.

>>1072624
ABAP

>>1074019
Yeah Neo Geo Pocket Color is 6th gen tho and therefore not allowed. This thread should be deleted just like the Sega generals were yesterday because you can't make a passing reference to anything that's not strictly /vr/ related if those threads are anything to judge by.

>>1074069
>or you can just go the easier route and stuff a bunch of roms onto an SD card and play them on your PSP or what have you
But then how would I play Sonic & Knuckles & Knuckles & Knuckles on the go?

>>1074093
What?

You don't get to pick and choose what situations you apply the rule to. moot said no 6th gen so delete this thread, it's discussing the 6th gen Neo Geo Pocket Color.

Delete this thread right fucking now. Why did you sperg out on the SEGA Generals yesterday? It's ok to make a passing reference to some "not retro" topics and not others? Pull the dildo out of your ass for once you piece of fucking shit.

>>1074097
