/vr/ - Retro Games

Never really liked fighters but I started DOA 1 a few days ago and something clicked. Just beat tournament mode with Lisa and now working on doing time attack in under 10 mins. I think I got it in a few more tries.
I also tried 2 but immediately didn’t like it as much as 1.

Been playing Transformers Armada on PS2, love the way it looks

Lol this actually looks really good, Would you consider it a hidden gem?

>>10973006
I was just looking into this series earlier today I'd definitely pick it up if I found it in the wild

>>10973051
I do but only because the weird back story behind its failure, I consider it the best transformers game. There's not much of a story but essentially:
>Transformers hardcore fans in the mid 2000s were aging boomers
>bayformers didn't exist yet
>they HATED armada because it "animefied" transformers
>G1 Transformers was getting a PS2 exclusive in Japan only
>We got this game
>word spreads that the "Atari Transformers" is a piece of shit and people should just wait for the G1 game to come to the West
>The G1 game is an embarrassing joke but they like it because it has muh G1 designs and isn't based on the "bad" series by the icky Japanese animators
>Among transformers fans this game is largely forgotten because nobody gave it a try, bayformers brought in new fans who hailed the cybertron ps3/360 games as the best in the franchise, further pushing this one down the totem pole
>cybertron games are good but frankly this is better because it's not a standard 7th gen cover shooter with a transformers skin
I'm not a transformers fan, this is the perspective of someone outside looking in.

>>10973060
Lol that's super interesting, I might just pick it up.

Ultima VII

This is actually running on an older version of Exult since running the original native DOS version on Windows 98SE is a nightmare of driver config and CPU speed fuckery that I've got no time for, but it seems to be a pretty faithful sourceport and plating with a system like this is comfy.

>>10973082
Dude that's bad ass I'm jealous

>>10973060
>>Transformers hardcore fans in the mid 2000s were aging boomers
my dad is literal boomer born in 50s. he never watched or liked any "anime" or western robutt cartoons. why you zoomers always wrong?

>I'm not a transformers fan, this is the perspective of someone outside looking in.

so copypasta bullshit from some guy who probably never watched the transformers animes back in the 80s and 90s. koolaid . fuck off >>>/trash/

i ran Exult on a Pentium II "office" Dell PC with Windows 98 OG-edition, in the early 2000s. it was easy as fuck. much easier than running it on DOSBox . how can you have any issues with driver configs unless you tried to install Win98 on "modern" hardware made for WinXP and above?!? it's either that or your "retro" rig is full unlabelled frankenstein parts from commies, that a standard installation disc of Win 98 can't find any drivers for.

Playing Buu's fury. It's pretty easy and not as good as Legacy of Goku II, but its comfy

Quiet boomboom

I mean just in general Origin DOS games throw a shitfit with even slightly newer hardware than what they were designed to play on. Crusader No Remorse is even worse in that regard I had to resort to using ScummVM for that it was either that or removing two sticks of RAM and hoping for the best.

>>10973030
I've never been into Transformers at all, but this actually looks pretty fun. Thanks for sharing it.

>>10974443
>my dad doesn't like transformers, therefore no boomers do
you stupid or something lol?

>>10974443
learn to read faggot. he didn’t say all boomers were into transformers. he said that in the 2000s all transformers fans were old.

trying out soul edge for ps1 using a comfy GameFAQs from 1997 to help learn combos. I played Voldo in later games but he seems to be much more basic and lacking a lot of his uniqueness in soul edge. i really enjoy the weapon system though, it’s fun.

Gonna play picrel for the first time.

Also just finished Gex on the Saturn. Really good game until the last world which was endless stupid bullshit.

Planning on playing some Lufia II before going to bed. I love that game, but I always end up dropping it to play something else (it's not even about the puzzles. I just zone out and move onto another game), so I hope I can pull through this time.

>>10973030
hope you did a mid jump transformation after driving down the big mud slope on that map, i used to have so much fun doing that when i played it as a kid.

>>10972990
Played some FFV Advance and Ninja Five-O, both are pretty good.

>>10972990
A shitload of Sonic games, including the ones on Game Gear

>>10974786
Lol love the vageta"?" Sprite

>>10974903
Lol fuckin love this one

>>10975126
Duuuude fuck yeah final fantasy 5 that's my favorite one

>>10975013
You got this, anon.

>>10972990
did a run of castlevania bloodlines, playing dinosaurs for hire now, and maybe ecco after

>>10972990
I've finished Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase on PS1, now I'm moving onto Lilo & Stitch, I also did beat Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers/Quack Attack before, so I guess I'm on a Crash Bandicoot clone marathon... and it's been quite fun! It's a superb formula I wish had caught on a lot more actually.

>>10972990
Im playing Phantasy Star on the Master System and its pissing me off because the dungeon floors aren't aligned properly so its very annoying making maps.

>>10972990
I have very fond memories of playing that game in high school while my girlfriend was drawing next to me and workign on her art uni exam preparations, something like 15 years ago.

Anyway it's a pretty good game and if I had to describe it, its a jRPG for people who hate jRPG. Slick fun combat, no tedious loading swirly screens, good varied locale. If you skip playing it for a while its not a problem because the game welcomes you with a brief summary of where you are, what you are doing and what your curren task is on the initial loading screen.

It gets a bit repetitive here and there in a few dungeons that are too long for their own good but every single jRPG suffers from those weak points in its pacing. I had enough fun with it that i finished it.

Beat the ancient cave or you're a fag

>>10978801
lol

>>10972990
confy
Thinking about listening to some of my favorite soundtracks; maybe Border Down or DoDonPachi

>>10983356
Experiencing Kings Field for the first time. Just hit Floor 2. Been playing for a while though so I’ll probably switch it up soon. Maybe try to make some progress in Soul Blade so I can move on to Soul Calibur.

>>10975013
I am also playing Lufia 2. My young daughter keeps thinking Maxim is Super Mario.

just got to the mummies boss on castlevania and died like a little bitch.

>>10972990
Drinking some Arizona juice while playing GO GO Ackman.

Still rolling randomly with my tismo list, actually rolled "computers". Doesn't really work well with console generations so despite it being a gen 3 roll, I ended up with an Apple II (The e is gen 3).

Of course I bodied the 6502 at the study evasion box game.

My tonight passed, and it's the morning, but I played what I say I was gonna play, despite being warned not to do it.
