/vr/ - Retro Games

>>1187965
I have the PC version of MMX, and I never knew it was supposed to come with a controller. There's nothing on the box either, but it's still fucking huge.

>>1188024
>Madden, 59.99
>Yoshi's Island 52.99

Wow, prices were kind of all over the place back then

>>1188026
Not op but this is the version I have. How could it not come with a controller?

>>1188029

>>1188029
Newer games garner a higher pricetag. You new to this capitalism thing?

>>1188034
Dunno. Doesn't have that window on it or anything, but there's definitely room in the box for one.

>>1188053

>>1188046
New to me. Cheers

>>1188058

came across this in one of my old WWF mags haha

>>1188061

I remember actually cutting that out and putting it on my wall.

>>1188061
Ultimate MK 3
70$
They are higher than I am lmao

video game gloves

>>1188094

It says $52.99, not $70. I believe you are higher

>>1188043
It just seems like terrible pricing. The newer games aren't as good as the older ones from different genres. Why should the newest sports game be 60$? I haven't bought anything new since the wii first came out so I can't really relate to people spending 70$ on COD or NHL 2013

>>1188062
2007? Why does it say that at the bottom? At the top it says 2001 Nintendo.

Dayumn.

I can read German but "Hey Luigi, leg sie aufs kreuz." makes no sense to me given the context.

Apparently Mario used to be a carpenter.

>>1188053

Those MA-13 ratings for poker and blackjack, oh my god.

>>1188073

I'm still pissed Simpsons arcade never got a SNES release.

>>1188046
Maybe it's a reprint.

Gonna post some slightly different type of retro magazine advertisements I scanned.

It's a deal. It says that both YI and DKC2 are 52.99 after using a coupon.

>>1188927
>we all felt the same way in 1997

Not me.

>>1188994
Bullshit or was just a kid.

>>1188997
>was just a kid.

We were all once kids.

>>1189001
Yeah but if you were a kid I could see you not appreciating FF7. I was exactly the right age for those Game Cave ads to have been targetting me like a laser.

>>1189004
>Yeah but if you were a kid I could see you not appreciating FF7.

Man this is going to blow your mind, but people had different tastes, even back in the 90s. It's crazy.

>>1188949

Jesus Christ, we've come a long way.

>>1188994
Me either. Same goes for FFVIII. On the other hand Grandia 1 was the first jrpg that got me hooked from the beginning till the end (apart from Pokemon) and it's still my favourite jrpg. Even thought I have tried Earthbound and Chrono Trigger before Grandia I didn't appreciated them so much then until I gave them a second chance years later and loved them.

>>1188952

I actually have that Goro resin kit, painted it myself.

Man, this is all so nostalgic. I remember seeing those ads at the end of the EGM/EGM2/Expert Gamer mags I used to buy back in the day.

Those were the days.

>>1188930
>We not have 1000s of Goros

wasn't this around the time the Mortal Kombat fad started to really die down?

>>1189436
now*

>>1189436
I don't know. While it was rather uninspired, MK 3 was a huge hit.

>>1188776

If you continue reading it does. Also you have to know the true meaning of Kreuz in this context- not "cross" but the sacrum, it's colloquial for "lower back". "Leg sie aufs Kreuz" means "put them on their back", they are talking about the turtles and crabs, as the text continues: "Because only if they are lying on their back Mario and Luigi can save themselves from the dangerous turtles and crabs."

Yes, German ain't easy for non-natives

>>1189447
Mortal Kombat was always selling a lot (even during PS2 era) but from the third game and after there wasn't the craze it had at the first two games. The first was the huge phenomenon because it popularised the over the top violent games at the mainstream market and the second one improved the formula. And in popularity terms it was the only big rival for the other phenomenon of the era called Street Fighter II. With the coming of the third MK game the 3D fighting games like Virtua Fighter and Tekken started to make their appearance and get the attention of the gamers that now looked at MK as something really dated. That and the fact that mature games at the mainstream market was something usual now and there were better choices like Killer Instinct and later Mace - The Dark Age.

>>1189458
Ah, that explains a lot. I kept picturing a crucified Koopa.

Here are some more germans tripping balls and/or playing Atari.

>>1188790
Oh man I remember that shit
>how hard the punches or kicks were was dependent on how hard you hit the buttons

Thank god that's never going to be used ever again.

>>1189462

I love these old "TV-view" ads showing a group of always excited people. The outfits... truely representing their time

>>1188924

>that Dragon Quest III offer

Wait, I recognize that CD! That's Orchestral Game Concert IV, a CD that has exactly zero tracks from Dragon Quest III! However, it does have one track from DQ2, and it has a 23-minute rendition of the opera sequence from FFVI, which is fucking great. Still, I wonder why exactly they package that CD with that game. The Ranma and Secret of Mana offers make sense, it's just that one that doesn't.

>>1187965
Huh, never knew that Mega Man X was a pc title. Anyone got pics of that "free" controller that came with it?

>>1189475
Nothing special at all.

>>1188940
I miss those days when Japanese games, especially JRPGs, were something strange, mysterious, almost magical.

>>1190283
Look at it.

>>1190312
Oh wow, yeah.

>>1190312
HAAH WAAW

>>1189906
That's gotta be fake. They didn't really say that...?

>>1191793

No, it's a shop. This is the real ad.

I knew Sega ads were racy, but not THAT bad.

>>1188880

definitely is, i got the controller with mine too

>>1188927
my parents bought me ff7 for xmas foir pc; the kicker was it came on 3 1/2 'floppies' and my shit only had the 5 1/4 drive (real floppies).

>>1189434
I was only ever able to get EGM on my family's once per year trip to the USA during American Thanksgiving. It nicely coincided with their year end issue. Those cheap-ass prices in the US made me so goddamn jealous.

>>1192283
>Final Fantasy VII
>on floppies

How in the hell? That would have to be like a thousand floppies.

>>1192283
Must have just been some rather big floppies.

>>1192283
yea, you're thinking of something else. One floppy disk is about 1.4 MB. FF7 was 4 cds long, each cd is about 700 MB.

>>1193987
FF7 was 3 CDs.

>>1188915

ANyone have any details on this Japanese Magic: the Gathering PSX game? I've never heard of such a things.

>>1190312
I dont see anything wrong whit it.

>>1194023
PC version was 4

>>1194221

>>1193987
It might have been Blood or something like that then with the floppies. But I do remember getting the PC version of FF7. It must have been so traumatic for me that I blocked out seeing those damn CDs and combined the memory to save my sanity.

>>1194238
5" floppies were phased out really early in the 90s... I don't think any game after like 1991ish would have come on them...

>>1188785

I had completely forgotten TLC used to have educational value. It's easy to forget since it's now nothing but gypsy shows, dwarves, polygamists, pro muslim propaganda, and other such garbage.

I miss being a kid circling the games I want from those catalogs for my birthday or Christmas.

I'm looking for a Resident Evil (possibly RE: Directors Cut) ad that ran in the UK.
It's an overhead shot of a bathtub full of blood on a black and white checkered floor with bloody footprints leading away from it.
Apparently there was some big controversy over the ad and it's banned or something now.

>>1195205
Also, I have no idea why that image showed up.

>>1194195
Buttons layout

>>1190312
Yep, that's the original Playstation controller alright.

>>1189465
They actually considered using them in SF2 at one point. Really dodged a bullet there. On the other hand, the wacky response of those pressure buttons was also one of the reasons that they put so much effort into making special moves easy to perform in SF2, so at least one good thing came form their legacy.

Speaking of SF2, here's a commercial for Super Turbo, featuring a live action Cammy. Also note the sunburst finish effect caused by a standard Shoryuken; in some prerelease builds of SSF2T any special move would cause that effect if used to finish off the opponent, not just super moves.

The best part is: they acknowledge that the 14-year-old girl is supposed to be "sexy".

I love how old vidya adverts acknowledge that the players are mostly just kids and nerds. I've seen hundreds of adverts where some scrawny kid with glasses is playing video games and showing thumbs up and shouting "RADICAL!" or something like that.

>>1198335

>>1188785

>>1198343

>>1198685

>>1198365
Genesis.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7nsBoqJ6s8

>>1198365

SNES has better graphics and sound, though it's still fun to play either way.

>>1195197
Same.

I would spend hours on the floor of my grandparents kitchen or living room with the Toys'R'Us Catalog and the Sears catalog with a black ink pen writing out my Christmas wish list(s). I was admittingly greedy, but being poor and a youngster don't really mesh either. The toys section used to be so huge in the Sears catalog, it's quite pitiful now.

I never did get that Constructicon Transformer set or Sega Saturn.

>>1195130
I still have about 20 of these in my closet back home somewhere.

They were about as common as the warning DO NOT EAT instructions and the little black book jammed at the bottom of Gameboy game boxes.

>>1195312
They fail to mention anything about the sticks being locked in one direction, ghost presses on the buttons, or any of the other tomfoolery that belonged to 3rd party controllers.

Fucking Madcatz

>>1199637
I have an extra 1:1 clone yellow Constructicon set still in its box I would trade for retro vidya. Actually, I have extra Saturns as well.

>Amazing for beat 'em ups

Yeah, because if there's one genre that saturated the N64 it was beat em ups...

>>1203675

Even though X7 was the absolute lowest point in Mega Man history, I still think 2003 was the best year for the series. MM&B, BN3, Z2 were all god tier iterations, and Network Transmission was an interesting genre blend with lots of cool throwbacks to the NES days.

>>1188024

Nowadays it's easy to forget that these old games weren't $20 - $30. They were as expensive as current titles

>>1188780

>>1188024

$69.99?! You've got to be kidding me! I can barely swallow paying around 60 bucks for a game nowadays, and parents possibly had to spend around $70 on that? Sure, it's practically only a 10 dollar difference, but still.

I never got that Saturn either bro. But in retrospect considering how quickly it died I guess I should be grateful. I remember wanting a Game Gear too, and my Dad actually got a Nomad instead. Being a retarded kid I complained and told him it wasn't the right thing.

>Hold the fucking phone...this plays GENESIS games? Sonic 2 where ever I want?!? Fuck yes!

I soon realized that what I had was pretty fucking sweet and shut up about it. It later got stepped on by my little brother, crushing the screen and rendering it a useless paper weight. RIP Nomad, you were pretty fucking cool on long trips with the cigarette adapter plugged in. ;__;7

That made me cringe, because I chipped off half of one of my front incisors while swimming a couple of months ago. I wasn't even doing anything crazy. I was just swimming breast stroke at max speed and hit my mouth on the side of the pool. My tooth was so hard, I got a concussion. I couldn't see an oral reconstruction surgeon for a week afterwards, so I couldn't eat anything solid. I was messed up and nauseous from the concussion. I'm still shaken up by it.

I can't even tell if this is a joke or not anymore.

I know it's not a "find that ad" thread, but I suppose I might as well ask...

It was an ad for an isometric game, mid-to-late 90's, probably PC; the player character had just shot some mook, and there were blood splatters and gibblets on the wall behind him, with lines that pointed to them, indicating things like "bit of his spleen", "his third and fourth vertebrae", stuff like that.

Someone else mentioned it here a while ago, and it's been bugging me since. Rings any bells?

That cabinet design is indeed glorious, but this has bugged me for years, doesn't Ryu kinda look like Chris Farley in that add?

>>1228601
i don't think i'd make that connection on my own but now that you mention it

yeah a little bit

The mid 90s was a strange time for video game ads.

Semi on topic..

Anyone got scans or even remember pricing in Australia for SNES and PS1? Especially the latter. Thought I'd brought my old gaming mags with me but looks like they got destroyed and I'm trying to remember just how fucking much the PS1 cost over time. For some reason I'm sure it launched at close to a grand over here and had to be over $500 when I got one late 97.

Hyper was a great gaming mag. Fuck I wish I'd hung on to those magazines.

Can anyone help me out here? I used to have this issue of Gamepro and I remember there being an ad with a hand that was covered in calluses and pizza sauce but for the life of me can not find a picture of it on the internet. I wanna say it was an ad for a Gundam game.

I had a version without the controller as a kid. The port was ass: no sound, and it crashed 96% of the time after the intro stage.

Does anyone remember an Vg magazine ad from the late 90s, maybe around 98,99 that had a close up pic of stitches on somebody's arm, I don't remember what game it was for.

They omitted some monsters depending on which version, to give an incentive to meet other people with different versions to trade with.

I don't know if it was down right as much as 75/75 though.

Can it also have little foldout legs on the back, so that it's actually a table too?

I still have that game. The only reason I replay it is for nostalgia, not for the graffix. ;_;

>>1241925
In case anyone's curious and doesn't wanna read the whole ad, he refers to Shadows of the Empire for N64.

>I still have that game. The only reason I replay it is for nostalgia, not for the graffix. ;_;

You should replay it because it was fucking fun. I wish I still had my copy. I'm still waiting to find a copy in the wild. For some reason I haven't seen it in ages.

>>1228601
kinda.

>>1205883
You forget inflation too.
If this is from 96-97, thats a little over $100 in present day money. That's nuts.

>>1244569
Keep in mind the games that were more than $60 generally had special chips in them. That's why those were usually more expensive than the other games.

>>1188024
It's crazy how cheap the console was compared with the games themselves.

All the people complaining about prices don't seem to remember (if they were around to remember) that cartridges were also much more expensive to produce.

Development costs may have increased as games become more and more grand in scope (and shallower in creativity and such), but once the developers make their money back in sales, it's pretty much pure profit. CDs and DVDs are much cheaper to manufacture.

>>1188024
I hardly ever seen games this expensive at that time, what gives? Isn't Toy's r Us supposed to be expensive with their products anyways? I know for a fact that Kmart overcharged on their games.

>>1244475
I wonder if we will reach an age like the mid to late 90s again where all the video game ads were fucking disgusting. Wish I could find it but there was one with some guy who had stitches and pizza sauce all over his hand.
