/vr/ - Retro Games

>>1195437
a classic

>>1195449
At first glance I saw Hitmonchan sticking his ass out while looking behind him with one hand over his mouth in an embarrassed fashion.

Both my parents called Koopa Troopas 'ducks'.

All ducks have turtle shells.

>>1195504
I thought it was a Buckingham Palace hat.

>>1195449
>>1195504
gen 1 sure had some shitty drawings in it

>Seals
I thought they were little Caspar ghosts

>>1195449
>>1197116
Fucking this. Here's what I thought Spearow was supposed to be when I was a kid

>>1196881
Mine too. I have no idea why.

why do these threads always turn into 'funny gb pokemon sprites' threads?

>>1195437
I always thought that the toad got some weird ass hair when he got on the bike, and I thought that his leg there was his arm, making it seem weird.

>>1197191
And this is what I thought Chansey is supposed to be

Somewhat related. In Paper Mario TTYD I thought that Swooper's ears were his eyes, and that his actual eyes and red nose formed an entire nose.

>>1197210
The picture of him in profile makes more sense because he's making eye contact with the other characters.

>>1197210
not /vr/

>>1196881
Holy shit, my parents thought the same thing.

>>1196881
>>1197202
>>1197360
Me too
What the fuck is it?

>>1197373
Maybe we're all siblings.

>>1196881
>>1197202
>>1197373
>>1197408
Maybe they saw it like this
Stupid grown-ups!

>>1197416
still looks like it has a shell

>>1196881
THIS
Ducks. Always ducks. WTF!?!?!?

>>1196881
>>1197202
>>1197360
>>1197373
>>1197408
>>1197450
I'm actually incredibly interested as to why this is. Anyone have any guesses as to why this was so prevalent?

My grandmother thought the shy guys in Super Mario Bros 2 were clocks.

>>1196881
But... They're geese! Or turkeys.

>>1196881
This picture is disgusting. There have never been yellow and blue Koopa Troopas in SMB1 style, not even in SMBDX.

>>1197549
Because the cartridge had "DUCK HUNT" written on it, obviously.

>>1197559

>>1198247

>>1197191
>>1197191
sAME HERE.

>>1198247
That... that seems to be the answer.

>>1197549
my guess is the huge beak

>>1195449
>>1197116
>>1195504

I don't get it. The game graphics as in houses look like houses. The NPC graphics look like people. The character portraits in battles look like people. Why are the Pokemon singled out in looking so weird?

>>1197226
such pokemon
many catches

Last time someone made one of these threads there was a debate about this guy.

Either there is a guy on top of the sword and the eyes are fake or the guy is really a sword but put a fake body on top of himself so those hopping guys will follow a leader that supposedly hop himself.

Honestly it could go either way but I personally only saw the sword and never the guy on top of it.

>>1195581
Goddamit anon, im dying here.

>>1197210

>>1198617

itz two seperate guys
or the sword is real and the guy on top is fake,
probably the sword is real

>>1196881
When you see it

Skull-fish looks both ways to check where Mario is coming from, then dives under and tells the dragon.

>>1196881
My mother would call the green ones turtles but the red ones turkeys.

We would both called the goombas boogers because we thought that was funnier.

I couldn't take it seriously seeing as his portrait was completely different.

>>1197191
looks like a dragon quest monster the way you imagined it

>>1197226
That looks adorable.

>>1198723
Ok, I was one of those people that never saw the chestnut guys as goombas until I was told that they they were meant to be. So I am far from being perfect but I honestly can't see how people could confuse the dragon eyes as a different enemy just because they dip under for a second. I can only assume such people have greater imagination then myself as I logically saw it as one being right away. Of course that isn't an insult or a bad thing. I wish I was that creative.

>>1198617
gowing off the other bosses in the game, I'd say the weapon is real and the guy is fake
notice that yaridovich or whatever the fuck and bowyer had eyes on the spear and bow respectively. This is a sword guy so eyes on the sword, right?

>>1198939
No idea where I got it from. First impression was when I was 8 or so, the 'fish' was the first thing I saw and I immediately thought it was a fish, then got the bejeebers scared out of me by that dragon, for some reason it never occured to me that it was the dragon all along up until a few years ago.
Also, the goombas looked like m&m's to me. And the green bats were parrots.

I though this was was for a GBC version of Marvel vs Capcom but it's actually for the PS4 version of Marvel vs Capcom 4

this is the head of a herpes infected penis

>>1199424
And this is a bird head

>>1199432
im glad we're pals

>>1197416
>>1199432
Plot twist: Mario was actually killing angry birds the whole time

>>1199389
Can a GBC sprite even have that many colors?

>>1198617
Imagine you're at a renaissance festival and you've just been introduced to Lord Killingstein. An armored knight on horseback.

Unless you're playing the role of village idiot, you're not seriously going to entertain the notion that Lord Killingstein is a talking horse with an inanimate human-shaped decoration on its back.

>>1198247
Oh wow, that's hilarious.

Like they thought it was a single game called "Super Mario Bros' Duck Hunt"?

>>1199484
The guy riding the sword is in an army of living weapons
his sword has a face
Perhaps both are alive

>>1199550
sorry I don't see it, I see the M but the rest of it just isn't there

I had a hard time seeing the Wizzrobes correctly. Their medallions look like mouths, the white hands look like Monty Burns hair. Basically big heads floating around. Kinda got a Pacman ghost thing goin on.

>>1199660
but......those are their mouths......right?

>>1199474
>Number of Unique colors: 15
>Number of colors allow per sprite on the GBA:3

Also, the GBC only has a resolution of 160 x 144 pixels, that image is 252 X 400. That wouldn't even fit on the GBA.

I could never quite figure out that the hint/tutorial block was a speaker. I always thought it was like a blue block with a weird berry picture on it or something.

>>1199717
Holy crap, it's a SPEAKER?

I always thought it was some weird fruit! Speaker makes so much sense aaaaaaaa!

>>1198703
Oh lord, the errors in this ad.
>Zelda 2 and Castlevania 2 swapped
>"Simons"
>SMB2 screenshot is SMB1
>Dr. Jekyell

These guys. I always though that those black sprites under their eyes were mouths. Just until recently I discovered they all wore robes.

Also, I though they had only one eye, and that the line dividing their eyes was their pupil.

>>1199719
i thought it was a pineapple

>>1199730
Oh man, I think I love your perceived slug creature.

>>1199805
Dude that's exactly what I saw those early days. The fact that they had lava baths just strengthened my vision of a slug-like people. Now I question why they go swiming while using their robes. Don't they use different clothes or something?

>>1199730
>>1199805
>>1199815

holy fuck i thought i was the only person who saw that shit. I didn't even know they WEREN'T slug creatures. I thought the entire underworld in LoZ: ocarina of seasons was ruled by slug people. up until this very minute.
fuck.

>>1199895
fuck i meant oracle

always thought bowser was a turtle

>>1199982
me to

>>1198802

>>1199982
>>1199990
Can't imagine why.

>>1199432
This one is obvious but I always just called them mushrooms instead of goombas.

Used to often call it a helmet.

>>1200260
How the shit do you kill these guys?

I always see the clefts in paper mario with a puppy dog face instead of a gigantic chin.

>>1198703
That's not SMB2!!!

Also ducks with turtle shells LOL

I always thought that the hand was its other eye and it had no arms at all. (In this picture, the arm would be its right eye and you can see part of the left eye, which would be as big as the "right eye") The big one didn't have arms. so why would the small ones have them?

>>1200401
That's an arm? I always saw it as a mouth like the ones in Super Mario World have.

I still think Mario punches Yoshi in the back of his head to make him eat things, but that just can't be it... Can it?

>>1199730
Subrosians are fucking terrifying now.

>>1200267
They're koopas except they're immune to fire
You can only kill them if there's a nearby bottomless pit or another Koopa/Buzzy Beetle

>>1200432
This, always thought it was a mouth until the 3D games
still looks like a mouth in World/smb to me

When I was little I used to think the shy guys in Super Mario Bros. 2 were little trains.

I guess I looked at them with Thomas the tank engine in mind,

>>1200401
why were these things so hard to interpret as a kid

I didn't see them as crocodile soldiers but as fat african women with one of those rastafari hats or something.

I only realized they were soldiers a few months ago while reading a shitty conspiracy theory article.

>>1200276
Is that a chin? Because it looks like a big pair of moustaches to me in that picture.

>>1200450
Still about the Yoshi sprite, why did he have orange arms in SMW?

>>1199484
>I haven't played SMRPG so I'm going to post a retarded counterargument to try and be snooty

>>1200432
>>1200498
Oh wow, me too.

In one of the games on Super Mario All-Stars, the arm is animated. It kinda pumps back and forth, like it's running. I interpreted that as the bullet gnashing its teeth.

>>1199717
I always thought it was a weird basketball.

>>1200546
>uuuh yurr didn't plur the gurrrrrrm

Great to hear you have no counterargument. Look at that picture again, Asperger's, the pumpkin is not just for decoration. It has a body, arms, and legs, and is wearing a cape.

>>1196881
>5
My dad still says that shit when we have a few beers and play Mario.

>>1200540
It's the saddle, dude.

Boring one, but I always thought her raised hand was closed, not in a weird claw position.

>>1197163
I always thought that too.

>>1198703
Hahha wat

>>1200260
Those are beetles? for srs?

>>1200401
I always thought the arms were teeth as well.

>>1198617

Smith is a sword, right?

So this answers the question.

>>1200260
Their Japanese name is Met as in helmet. It's definitely meant to look like one.

>>1200636
I don't see anything else

>>1197191
Your Spearow's a lot cooler than Gamefreak's.

>>1197559
My dad called the shy guys "George Washingtons". To him the faces looked like George. I have no idea why, I can't see it at all.

>>1198617
I always saw it as a sentient sword with eyes too, but I think, since the shy guys were using pogo sticks, they were emulating this guy (the red guy on top) who used the sword as a pogo stick. The reason it had eyes was because Exor, their leader, was a sword with eyes, so they made this pogo-sword in his image.

>>1200636

I just saw the beak as a gaping mouth with the nostrils being the fangs.

I thought the bird was her head, not a hat.

>>1198617
All the bosses in SMRPG are weapons

Mack = knife

Bowyer = Bow

Yardiovich = Spear

The big sword = a sword

The big boss is Smithy... a smith is a person who creates weapons.

P.S:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEllHMWkXEU

>>1201303
If you were even looking at her face, you have more willpower than I do.

Surprised this one hasn't popped up yet

>>1197559
>>1201194
What the FUCK
My dad thought they were loaves of bread. Why are fucking Shy Guys so confusing to parents? I mean seriously what the fuck? Dear god this is weird.

>>1201303

Whoa, first time I've noticed her head actually.

>>1199717
I always thought it was a coconut.

>>1195437
I always saw the batter like that in Off.

>>1202683
i dont see it. can you line it out

>>1202720
The arm is its head, the claw its eye. The hair is its mouth.

>>1202098
I thought that where his eyes
like he's a fly man or something

also the regular knights/guards where bird people

>>1198617
my first play through I saw a swod with eyes and wearing a demon jackolantern helmet. then When I play through again I saw it was a demon jackolantern guy riding a pogo sword. and the things that look like eyes are his hands. can't decide looks like both. it like that illusion picture that can look like a pretty young girl or a old woman.

>>1202683
oh man. took me a bit but now I see it lol

>>1198703
do they not have turtles in japan?

>>1202686

>>1198703

>sears in charge of product research

>>1200450
He's pointing. Like "Yoshi! Eat that!"

I can't find the sprite, but you know in the old Pokemon games, there was often a NPC sprite, it looked like a girl in a fairy costume or something? What was that?

>>1200450

No, I don't think that's it. I think Mario is just going like "yeehaw!" like a Cowboy.

>>1202103
I say this every thread, but I used to think they were trains. Especially sniffits.

>>1202686
Fucking hell I always thought that until a few years ago. I was always confused.

>>1195449
Always cracks me up.

Captcha: nocado bricks

Reposting someone's take on Ash.

i shiggy

>>1201303
I fucking hate that boss. It's really fighting that fucking Raven with only bowser that's the worst part.

/inb4 some retard posts that terrible piece of shit Dr robotinik one you would have to be a compelete retard to see.

>>1203323
Oh, please post it. I remember that thread.

>>1203324

It's time

>>1203324
Isn't it about time you played some videogames?

>>1203336
I like how the moron just ignored the whole front half of the ship and painted it red just to force this shit. anyone who says they see it is a troll and anyone who actually sees it has had a frontal lobotomy.

>>1203330
>>1203336
Almost forgot about that.

>>1200056
>that story
>not NICE OF THE PRINCESS TO INVITE OVER FOR A PICNIC GAY LUIGI
http://youtu.be/TcSHAdSwlvo

>>1203339
No fun.

>>1203368
no captain vidya is off topic. nobody saw him in that sprite actually. this is for things you thought you saw in games not manipulate resources from games to see whatever the hell you want...

I never saw the cape classic Eggman had until generations
I never saw the wings on the eggmobile until Sonic 4

>>1203312
WHHAT

>>1200498

It doesn't help that Bullet Bills are drawn with arms in half the games they appear in and with huge grins in the other half.

>>1199432
Yeah, I always thought Goombas looked like angry birds.

>>1199474
It can display 12 colors in total, so with some wizardry I'd say it's possible.

>>1203302
>seeing this type of monster as a kid

That guy's probably locked in an asylum now. :(

>>1200636
mind blown...
thats how I always saw them too... so... the giant round thing is meant to be there eyes !????

>>1203567
Yeah, I remeber when I came to pic related. Seeing that glowing eye, Mind fking blown.

>>1198703

> duck koopas
> Bowser with a nose horn

I wanna play this one.

>>1200589

Oh great, I just noticed the hand. It looks like she's doing shadow puppets.

>>1200636
>>1201169
>>1201250
>>1203567
How? It's head looks just like a parrot's.

>>1199389
I see what you did there.

I never see these as fishes, even though I know it is supposed to be a fish. Not even when they wake up and chase you.
To me, they are some kind of frog creatures. Fishtail and fin are its legs when it sleeps. When it wakes up, it moves by shaking itself.

>>1199717
I thought it was a speaker because I'm not retarded

>>1202098
I always saw him like he was intended because in the manual were pictures or somewhere else.

>>1200636
Did you and the rest of people who responded to you just not pay attention to the boss, or are you all retarded?

>>1204957
Yes, because all speakers look just like that.
What speaker has to be hit from below to make it replay a message?

>>1205072
The kind you would find in a fucking Mario game

>>1205078
10/10

>>1205072
The kind that don't work until you hit them, like TVs

>>1205086

Believe it or not but these are not actually ghosts. They're "monsters" but not dead

>>1205072
a speaker in a game where hitting blocks from below is one of the oldest mechanics in the series

>>1199717

Speaker? I thought it was a pineapple

>>1200450

I heard that for the first time in some nonsense video about a guy calling Mario a sociopath. He's pointing, not punching,

>>1203302

>Ash

>>1200450
I always thought this too.

But Yoshi's a damn dinosaur, he can take the abuse.

>>1205204

Muh negro. Same thing here...

>>1196881
>>1198703

Well, shit.

>>1200525
holy shit those arent fat girl crocs with marge simpson hair? those nipples in the render weirded me out for a second

>>1201303
Ok i thought she was a bird because the other guy Dodo is a bird too. This is the first time i've seen her weird wide face. That looks fucked up. And yes her titties were distracting. Fucking SMRPG sprites

>>1200036
>when Shadow's in his "shocked" face sprite, I always thought he had buck teeth sticking out like Goofy, since I thought he had a visor like a Transformer

>>1199717
Fuck everyone being dicks
that actually just blew my mind

>>1202686
Hahaha, exactly.

>>1200450
I always thought he's pointing forward.

>>1206960
The last sprite has to be correct
There is no possible conceivable way I've been seeing Agahnim wrong for 20 years

>>1203302
I requested that on a drawthread once.

>>1203330
>>1203336
It's impossible for anyone to see this other than retarded people. I am dead fucking serious. There is no way a normal person can see it like that.

Stop forcing this retarded shit, I know you're the same person posting this in every thread.

>>1207732

>Same person
>2 different posters

Aside from that, literally no one in this thread is taking that image seriously. Even the person who requested that it was posted claimed you'd have to be a "retard" to see it.

>2013
>Getting upset over obvious jokes

No one here thinks Robotnik looks like that. Stop being so damn "no fun allowed" about everything. I also see you didn't have shit to say about that nightmarish vision of the Pokemon sprite, despite being equal levels of retarded.

>>1207732
Well, a cool design came out of it at least.

>>1203312

Bahaha. I always thought this was one of the dumber looking Sigma fights and now it looks even dumber. (Somehow)

>>1202721
oh god it took me a while but i see it too

>>1199432
I thought they were mushrooms. I remember playing Super Mario bors on the NES and hearing my mum say "Watch out for the owls anon"

She was never really into video games

>>1206960
HOLY SHIT mind blown SO HARD, I see totally how its supposed to look I always thought he wasd some weird turban wearing guy though. He does look a lot more evil now despite being shorter

>>1207732
its a forced meme from /v/
youd need some good hallucinogenics to even begin to see that

>>1207713
He has a hood and circlet on his head. His hair is not exposed.

>>1200267
hammer bros suit iirc

>>1198607
pokemon yellow confirmed for ugliest sprites of all time

In Pokémon Gold and Silver, in the Ruins of Alph, I was stuck on this puzzle for a long time because I arranged it into an image I was convinced was supposed to be mew and wondered why nothing happened.

Also, it was only while typing this that I realised why it's called Alph.

>>1207740
>Even the person who requested that it was posted claimed you'd have to be a "retard" to see it.

What? I completely fucking see it. I'm serious.

>>1197008
>I thought it was a Buckingham Palace hat.

This.

>>1207732

It's a fucking joke you tremendous sack of shit.
Do you have Aspergers?

>>1210067
see folks a retard, >>1210074
there are people that get the joke. Then there are the dudes that have brain damage and think they see something.

>>1207715
fukken saved

>catpcha: the chiilana

>>1209835
>yellow
That's not yellow. That's red and blue sprites you double-nigger.

>>1210197
all the memories come flooding back

>>1210156
>Then there are the dudes that have brain damage and think they see something.

...but I really see it. Is this a reverse joke? what the fuck

>>1205204
Fucking this

>>1210321
how does the complete front half of the ship just magically turn red? I dont see any red under the windshielf which became the teeth above his beard. The perspective is just so fucking stupid you can't see it bruh.

>>1198723
I use to call those things Ahyucks, because that's what I'd say when they popped out of the lava.

In Goonies 2 on the NES the jojo attack could be misstaken for purple spit. Me and my dad used to joke about it all the time.

I used to think Link had been turned into a rat when he had washed up on Koholint island. It made more sense to me once I reached the animal village.

>>1206960
OH the face is the crown

holy shit

i thought it was a dopey face with a mouth gaping open

>>1198606
Motherfucker ducks dont have beaks

>>1203392
he's not wearing a cape, and it doesn't have wings on it

>>1196881

I know I'm late, but well

Parents usually have bad sight, try squirting your eyes and you'll see the fairly reasonable explanation.

>>1206960

>>1199719
>>1202502
>>1204957
>>1205204
>>1206951

You guys are stupid as fuck.
This game came out when I was four and I still knew it was a fucking speaker.

>>1213398
See that Yellow thing?
supposed to be a cape
and look at any footage of Sonic 4 episode 1 boss fights to see the wings. I think some concept art also shows it. I think this detail was only in Sonic 1 though

>>1213739
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=MM5KtNSZmmc#t=68

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=0uby5b4Jekk#t=198

Look at Robotnik's cape flaping in the wind. Upon further inspection it looks to me like his 1 and 3 ships just have wing looking like jets on the side, and that his 2 one totally has wings, my bad.

>>1213841
I just noticed In that Sonic 2 video
>Death Egg Zone 3

>>1197210
Not retro.

>>1214748
Weird, didn't notice that nor do i remember it being like that.

Only years later I realized my mistake

>>1213739
You can best see it in the OVA.

>>1214912
>>1214912
I don't see how thats different.

>>1199550
THIS
My TV was so far back then...

>>1215459
there's a mustache and his eyes are in a shadow under his hat

>>1213449
>fantasy setting
>mushrooms, floating boxes,floating platforms, floating coins and talking dinosaurs that use magic are all common place
>its logical they were speakers and not coconut boxes

When I first played it at the age of 10 they could have been anything. There is no other indication of that kind of technology existing in that universe. You sir are a know it all.

>>1211559
Can someone explain if this is supposed to be Link sitting down facing the screen or laying on his stomach facing away from the screen

I still don't know

>>1215506
sitting eown looking down

>>1215478
Ya I can't not picture them there, even in the one where you took them out. I can kind of see like a weird elephant man looking to the right? Is that what you saw? I don't really see how you could look past his actual face and see that though.

>>1199717
Same, I thought it was a fucked up looking coconut.

I actually didn't know it was a speaker until right this second

>>1199717
>a speaker

...damn

>>1196881
Wait, they aren't ducks? MY IMMERSION

Played through Link's Awakening for the first time a few days ago and misinterpreted this guy. Finally realized what it was when fighting him in Eagle's Tower because the bastard kept throwing me to the first floor.

>>1198723
Am I the only one who thought these dragons looked way too good compared to the rest of the game? Seriously, they look like they belong to Yoshi's Island.

>>1199432
My sister and I used to call hese "Owls".

>>1220714


Is that meant to be some kind of ninja with an emblem on his forehead in the "What I saw" pic?

>>1203310
son of a bitch i never saw it any other way

I don't think I've ever even so angry at a thread on 4chan than I am at this one, you guys can be some retarded cunts

>>1197227

that sprite is so ugly

>>1200450

It's hard too explain, but I always though Red was a fat kid

>>1220815

I always thought that too. I just thought he was a fat kid, I didn't noticed the bag until years later.

>>1220815
Oh shit I think I see it

I never thought this as a kid, but yeah.

>>1206960
Is that Porky fucking Minch

Yeah I only noticed this a year ago, the 'actual' one looks fucking hilariously atrocious. The other actually looks pretty freaky/scary.

>>1210148

to be fair, that game's sprites are atrocious.

Only realized they were bats earlier this year, after nearly two decades of playing the damn game

My entire life is a lie.

I tend to see the thing the girls in red dresses turn into when you shoot them as dancing sheep dogs that smoke pipes, and much later figured it's meant to look like they're kicking their skirt up, showing the frilly white underside of it. Then I look it up now, and it's supposed to be a cat with a collar?
OK then.

I'm pretty sure the SM3DW finally confirmed the tomato goombas as different enemies.

>>1221824
They were always such in Japan, I think.

I never understood Geno's sprite from Mario RPG.

>>1221089
I'm so glad I'm not the only one, realised this a few weeks ago. They look cute now.

Here's something I picked up from a thread in /v/ a little while back.

>get info from the pineapple block
yep, same here.

Having never played that game, I see a giant, surprised, moustasched head of a cat mounted on a llama.

Am I gay?

>>1223015
maybe

thought the petals in the middle were happy anime eyes

wait is that what they are

>>1223736
yes
all of the power-ups have eyes except the feather

>>1205067
they rented and played off existing files

>>1202098
neither of those are fucking correct

>>1224492
Agreed that the middle picture is poorly conceived, but the most important thing about it is that the pixels representing his circlet are actually not his face.

>>1224504
me again

Sorry, for some reason I was talking about the other picture posted above. In the one you linked to, the drawing on the right is still kinda inaccurate (more accurate then the one I was talking about), but the same point applies, the circlet is not his face.

>>1223736
wait they're not? I can't see how they're not

>>1224548
This anon is playing tricks
Everybody and their grandma knows that SMW fire flowers are orange tulips with animu happy eyes.
though you could argue it's a poorly done rose and the eyes are petals

>>1224564
>though you could argue it's a poorly done rose and the eyes are petals
big stretch

>>1224564
Yeah

>>1220762
I love the art style of old school mario games concept art

>>1224564
i guess adult me is a bigger idiot than kid me cause now that you mention it theyre a totally different size and clearly arent petals. oops.

>>1215506
If you flip it upside down, it looks like a very distraught Zora or whatever. Of course, if someone was about to make MY island vanish, I'd be scared too.

>>1226545
rightside up it kinda looks like a happy little cyclops monster with a cape sitting down and covering his ears
