/vr/ - Retro Games

I'm testing something that could revolutionize N64 flash carts and the finished product gets here on Friday.

If it works, then expect N64 flash carts to drop in price.

>>1324551
...go on.

>>1324558
The whole world will see on friday, if it works.
Thank god for the chinese

>>1324526

Waiting for Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts
Can't wait to get unbeliavably frustrated

>>1324570

I still have most of the music engraved in my head from playing that so much when I was a kid.

- Kirby's Ghost Trap & Kirby's Fun Pack (Super Star) - SNES

- Axelay - SNES

- U.N Squadron - SNES

Hopefully tomorrow is the day.

4 of them come in today. Tomorrow I get paid and I will buy to a game store i usually go to and get extra controllers for all my sega consoles, sony systems, NES, and Gamecube. I know the dumbass used the crash 3 cover instead of the CTR but I asked him in PM and he showed me either way I don't mind another copy of Crash 3.

I am waiting on a Super Nintendo, Mega Man X, Super Mario World, and Shaq-fu. This is the first time buying something /vr/ related.

A Dreamcast.

Sven co-op standalone.

Nothing retro at the moment, though I did pick up the PSP port of Valkyrie Profile. I remember when that game came out the reviews for it made it look really cool, and I never got around to playing it (no Playstation). I think in the near future I'll pick up an actual Playstation copy of Vandal Hearts, though. Another game that looked really cool back in the day, but I never played.

I'm actually waiting for a bunch of saturn imports, like Sonic Jam, Gungriffon, Strikers 1945, Gunbird, and Puzzle Bobble. I'm so excited

bump

>>1324526
Waiting for this to come in, picked it up for cheap on ebay.

Jade Empire for the Xbox and a PSP 3000
As far as /vr/ goes, I´m planning to get a top-loader NES from clapistan soon.

>>1327819
Wow. That´s the first time my cat has achieved to change my picture mid-post.

Got these today, sadly the Zelda is in French which I am not really good at, so I'm giving it to a friend.
Waiting for Oracle Of Seasons, and might be picking up Four Swords this saturday.

>>1327836
Herpaderp.

Gihren's Greed: Blood of Zeon and Guardian Heroes for the saturn.

I know you can play the newer versions of Gihren's Greed on emulators very easily now, but I have fond memories of playing the fuck out of Blood of Zeon in college and I'm anxious to own it. Guardian Heroes will just be a blast

Tenchi Muyo the game on Super famicom.

>>1324551

Tomorrow is the day, hope you'll deliver.

Tomorrow there's a possibility that I might get a Game Gear from the local pawn shop. Also, my copy of Jet Set/Grind Radio just came in the mail today

loose Solomon's Key 2 Famicom
Hector '87 complete in box
Famicom Disk System boxed
Fantasy Zone 2 Famicom loose
Magical Doropie loose

One of these so I don't have to switch the cables for my old consoles all the time

>>1328069
>not going to goodwill where they literally have buckets full of these

>>1328536
not everyone lives in murrika

>>1328552
do you not have thrift shops where you live?

>>1324526
A PC Engine Core Grafx with Pac-Land and the superior original version of Bomberman.

>>1324583
U.N. Squadron my nugga

I got the Super Nintendo holy grail. Tomorrow, I will own A Link to the Past, Donkey Kong Country, and Donkey Kong Country 2. Along with two controllers.

Pictured is Dragon Warrior, RC Pro Am, Castlevania II, Legacy of the Wizard, Fester's Quest, SMB 2, Mappy Land, and Airwolf in duh box! Also Little Nemo w/o box.

>> 1328683
Also waiting on a lot of Ps1 jams

A handful of GBA carts. Most GBA games are pretty cheap, and I wanted to get an actual cart of each game I enjoy on the system. I also got a brand new replacement SP just in case mine is ever irreparably damaged.

MK1 and Castlevaina.

Contra Hard Corps
Shinobi 3
Ecco The Dolphin

All with at least the cart and box. I love ordering stuff online, the anticipation of it arriving and opening the packaging makes it feel like it's Christmas or my birthday when I was a kid.

>>1328683

How much did ya pay for that?

Boxed NES games are usually pricey.

Chronomaster is on its way. Some point-and-click game with Ron Perlman, written by Roger Zelazny on his death bed.

>2x cinch to stereo jack cable

Have all my stuff hooked up to a splitter and planing to grab the sound from it, then connect it to my PC and have it play over my G930

>>1324831
>Buying a disc for Alundra for that much

>>1324526
5200 controllers. I bought a 5200 with 3 controllers, none of them worked, and all were mangled in various ways, so I got a $70 refund from the guy on eBay and bought 2 more. Can't wait to actually play my games.
Miraculously, the trak ball works perfectly.

Just got a complete Panzer Dragoon in the mail.
I dropped $40 dollars on the damn thing but I wanted it so badly. I was making best offers to this douche on eBay trying to talk him down from $50, but he wouldn't budge. Eventually I found the other copy and just said, screw it, it's not getting any cheaper than this.

>>1329142

Japanese one I assume?

>>1329219
No way. North American.
The average Japanese complete was only about $13. I try to get the NA one when I can. But for insanely overpriced games like Sanic Jam, Christmas NiGHTS, and Burning Rangers, I just went with the Jap ones.

>>1329229

But isn't the NA one like $100+ if it's complete? Congrats on your purchase btw.

Waiting on an Everdrive-MD. Ordered it a week ago, not sure how much longer it will take.

Waiting on a gameboy player disc.

>>1324551
>>1324559

>>1328663
It came! Plus the seller included a little bonus! If you're out there Jim Russler, thanks!

>>1329232
You're thinking of Panzer Dragoon Saga.
I'm just talking about the first one.
They're both on Saturn, though.
Thanks, mate.

>>1329647
>tfw the Super Nintendo I found had DKC already in it
I 101%ed it and immediately bought DKC 2 and 102%ed it. Still waiting on 3. I'm wary because I've heard it's not as good and it's also the most expensive.

>>1329647
>Jim Russler

>>1329647
>jim russler
>that fucking filth on the controller

You bet

please clean things before selling, everyone

>>1329879
I just got done cleaning them up. One of the controllers has a busted Start button, but other than that, everything is perfect.

>>1329883
Did you open it up? I can't imagine it's that complicated to see what's wrong. Even with a PS3 controller it's easy to find the root of a problem

>>1328536
I've never seen one of these at the goodwills in my area, and it was like 5 bucks so what the fuck ever

>>1329889
>tfw you open a controller for the first time
>feels like open-heart surgery for a minute
>then feels like you're simply fixing a retardedly simple machine

Can't even remember how many PlayStation controllers I've opened and unstuck their X and/or [] buttons. Though opening a PS3 controller for the first time was a nasty surprise.

>>1330096
I was fixing one for a friend, he threw it and it smashed to a point where the joystick was stuck upwards. I disassembled it and rotated the joystick so it would seat again. The hardest part was getting the triggers to stay in place when putting the shell back together.

>>1324526

Waiting on my tax return. I have $1,000 worth of games saved for purchasing next month.

Sega Genesis 6 button controller composite cables as well.
So long RF shit.

>>1330106
>$1000 tax return

Where do you live that your tax returns are so tiny?

>>1324551
>>1324559
It's nearing the end of Friday...

>>1330131

No clue why you assume $1,000 is all I'm getting.

>>1330106

What you planning on getting breh?

>>1330181

Pretty wide assortment of games for both collection purposes, upcoming releases, and games I've always wanted to play

Ordered DK Country 1&2 and a bunch of SNES dust covers because fuck it yesterday.

>mfw I have had a copy of DKC 1 in my possession for over a decade that is actually a family friend's and the other day I got a text asking about it out of nowhere and I honestly had forgotten that it wasn't mine in the first place

...welp, time to get my own I guess.

>>1330178
Because it was indirectly implied. You would know that if you talked to people on a regular basis.

A NES I traded a guy for in the /bst/ thread, also the bottom shell of a model 1 SNES, and Super Metroid

>>1330240

No it wasn't. You're the only one who thinks that, and now you're upset that you were wrong. How idiotic can one person be?

>>1330291
>im waiting on $1000 tax return. PERIOD
>THATS NOT ALL IM WAITING FOR YOU STUPID FAGGOT
thats you

>>1330131
Your tax return only has to do with how much tax you pay you derp. If you pay the correct amount you dont get a return at all.

>>1330303

lrn2read

I've been waiting for super mario world to come in the mail for ages. It's been stalled at some sort facility halfway across the country for nearly a week.

I'm starting to think it was seized by the FBI or something.

Hopefully they'll be here tomorrow

Megaman X, X2, X3 (rest in peace label), and 7 for SNES
I paid way more than I should've ($250)
Although it's definitely less than ebay

>>1330306
what the fuck does that have to do with the AMOUNT of your return? Isnt that what this arguement is about? Was that anon saying 1000 is all you are getting on your return, not whatever other bullshit you think this is about. Nobody said anything about video games maybe you need to learn to convey your message to your audience a little better bud.

>>1330336

Holy shit... What the hell are you even talking about? How do you guys seriously justify this kinda' retardation?

I post a huge list of games I'm buying and no one wants to talk about it. Recommendations on what to add or games to remove? No, you dipshits are more interested in how I worded my sentence rather than the actual topic. It was perfectly clear from the get go, but let's make this super fucking easy for the autists:

> Of the money I'm getting on my tax return, I plan to set aside a $1,000 portion for the sole purpose of purchasing video games.

Fuck's sake...

>>1330336
The anon never said how much his tax return was, just that he was using it to buy games.
You or possibly some other anon said he implied he was getting a $1,000 return and spending it all on games, which is just untrue.

>>1330303

>>im waiting on $1000 tax return. PERIOD

That isn't what was said at all, but it's interesting to see into the mind of a retard. Are you faced such delusions regularly in your daily life?

>>1330347
except everyone has been talking about the amount in reference to all you are getting. Maybe >>1330131 assumed 1000 dollars is all you getting for your tax return because that is what you said. He was asking about WHY your return was only going to be 1000 dollars and you go off about vidya. How are you so fucking retarded?

>>1330353

>Maybe >>1330131 assumed 1000 dollars is all you getting for your tax return because that is what you said

Except that's not what I said. >>1330306 breaks it down very succinctly. It's really difficult to have a debate on what was or wasn't said when we can just scroll up and take a look at my exact words at any time. It's even more ridiculous when you consider the fact that it has been clarified ad nauseum.

How much should I expect to drop on an SNES?

A secondhand shop near me is saying they have a working SNES for like $30, is that worth it?

>>1330353
>He was asking about WHY your return was only going to be 1000 dollars

And I said it wasn't

> and you go off about vidya.

Maybe because this is a vidya thread in a vidya topic in which I posted a significant list of vidya?

> How are you so fucking retarded?

This is really sad

Megamanfag (>>1330325) here

Sage for off-topic, but I'm definitely gonna try to replace X3's label
Anybody on here have any idea how to replace SNES labels without the ripping/residue shit?

Prolly gonna get a repro label like pic related

>>1330364
If it comes with the cables, controllers, and definitely works (has been tested), i'd say go for it

Most resellers sell SNES consoles by themselves as is for around $40

>>1329060
I know its a struggle:/ but unfortunately I can't find any good ones here nor at my game store but i did get a lot of good deals on PS1 and PS2 games like MGS 2 Substance for 2.00 CIB good condition and Metropolis Street Racing for DC for 3.00 CIB as well. So much goodness.

>>1330373
Just make sure to use a donor cart as the cart with the new label and keep the original un-fucked.

That way if you decide to sell it you won't be selling something that isn't 100% original.

>>1330483
Damn, never thought of that before, but makes sense...
Thanks lots

Well, shit. Just started looking into Robopon due to a thread on here, and fuck am I excited.
>>1330776
Only $10 including shipping in "good" condition, but I'm not to worried about the condition as long as everything works.
Mostly excited about the GB Kiss function. And apparently it has a built in alarm clock function to notify you of important events (which would normally be annoying as fuck, but I have nothing to do all day anyways.)

>>1330827
protip: the game sucks and the gimmicks barely work

>>1330857
Eh, I've heard good things and my friend recomended it to me a few times in the past.
I like these kinda games so I'm sure it won't be a problem.

>>1330214
>sonic 06
If I can save you, I will. Don't do it.

Not getting any retro vidya at the moment, but I'm waiting for Devil May Cry 1-4 and a bunch of retro anime.

currently waiting for Amazon to ship my fucking Vita memory card I got when they matched GameStop's price on it

>>1330923
>Macross Plus
>Bryan Cranston
I... what?

>>1330975
Cranston did some dubbing back in the day under the name Lee Stone.

>>1324526
Just ordered a Vortex2 OEM sound card for my late_90s-ish retro pc.

>>1331196

>>1327836
Woo!
Four swords was €5, Seasons €12 (with shipping).

Just spent way too much time online shopping last week. Im waiting on Lunar SSS Complete, Alisia Dragoon, some genesis boxes, and an NES with shit games and a questionable 72pin connector. They are all arriving today or monday, surprisingly. Hoping to get to the main before the wife sees it all and complains about "more useless shit"

>>1328069
Arrived today, works great, I don't notice any loss in visual quality but then again I don't have a great TV.

>>1331359
I hope you have friends to play four swords with, that shit is fun as hell

>>1331950
We're playing through the GBC version at the moment, meeting up once or twice a month. I don't know anybody that has the GBA version tho. Does it also have co-op?

>>1332020
*GC version

>>1332020
It does have coop, the thing is you NEED someone else with the game and a cable to play it. The single player is only ALttP, which besides the add-on of Young Link's voice (which gets annoying fast imo) I'm pretty sure it's the same. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Gonna pick up my white JP Saturn today, no games yet though ;_;

Waiting on a lot of things actually because I got my Financial Aid balance check a few days ago and I had a lot left after buying my books.

Star Ocean: Second Story, Gex 3, Gex 2, Kartia, Final Fantasy tactics. and Vagrant Story for the PS1.

Crazy Taxi, Sea Man, clear blue Millennium Controller and Blue Dream Cast casing.

A Sega Saturn paired with Sonic Jam and Sonic R.

And a Model 3 Sega Genesis with the Sega 6-Pack.

I have a few non retro things coming too.

Just got the Megaman Anniversary collection. Yeah, I don't have an NES, so sue me.

I had Megaman 4 back in the day on my gameboy, but otherwise I've only briefly played the Megaman games, other than X on the SNES.

The games look damn good on the PS2 through component video. I hear 2 is the best in the series, so after I get my nostalgia fix from 4, is that the one to start digging into?

>>1329647
The bonus better have been the chocolate orange. Sealed.

>>1335964
I had this for the Xbox and there was something peculiar about my copy. It specifically says right in the manual that you are only allowed to save one game at a time, and that saving to another game will cause the previous save to be deleted.

But my copy didn't work that way, I had saves for all of my games at the same time.

Gonna pick up a C64, monitor, disk drive, manuals, and what was listed as "100s of games", all reportedly mostly in orginal boxes later today. Cost $100. Did I do good /vr/?

>>1324526
Waiting for my Lunar Eternal Blue Complete in almost pristine condition.

I like Silver Star more, but EB was the first one I managed to get my hands on. Probably my most expensive game together with my copy of EVO and the limited edition of SRW Alpha.

>>1335979
If it works, you'll have a blast

graded 95 by vga

>>1335973
Manual was probably wrong. They write those things before the game is actually finished.

>>1335983
Honestly the best thing about either is the cool cover art on the large boxes. None of the bonus material is really that great. As far as bang for my buck, the money spent on the original sega ones was better spent. But there is something to be said about the large boxes and great cover art. They stand out.

>>1335991

>credible

This. Ordered it, it's a Famicom homebrew made last year. Awesome music, might have iffy/shit gameplay, but I have no way of knowing since there's pretty much nothing on its existence besides RIKI's website for it.

Should arrive next week or so if customs doesn't think importing loli doujins again.

>>1335991
>getting a game graded by VGA

WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU DO SUCH A THING

4 home brew games
>Mario's Adventure
>Metriod Deluxe
>Rockman Ultra
>Mega Man GrayZone
payed 20 bucks each

this should come here later this week. I hope it is as fun as MUSHA.

>>1337249
you have a japanese mega cd?

>>1337249
Be prepared for a game that is 10 times harder than MUSHA.

>>1337252
Yes, buying na sega cd games costs way too much for me, plus a few nice exclusives.

Waiting on these.

Finishing my portable console backlog with transparent original GB, purple Color and purple GBA.

Also: Wave Race, Mischief Makers, Doom 64 and Superman 64.

I know GBA's not considered retro, but these games sure are. I've been hankering to play some old RPGs lately and I just couldn't get into the FF remakes on the DS. Decided on the GBA versions of these since I prefer to play RPGs on handhelds.

waiting for a couple of DMG backlights from nonfinite electronics to get my modded gameboy done (clock,backl., pro-sound). Selling that on ebay and spending the money on rare Gameboy game.
pic kind of related - this is the V4, i w8 for the V5

I just got Metroid Fusion in the mail today, I've already played through most of it. I'm still waiting on my last Snapcaster Mage and Kiki-Jiki though

>>1339783
It sucks that 6th gen isn't considered retro. It still ended 8 years ago and its not like anyone on /v/ wants to talk about last gen, everyone's too caught up in console wars and flavor of the month shit

>>1341428
Whatever you do don't get a V3, they are too thick.

I cracked the screen in my DMG and there is a pressure point in my GB pocket.

I'm still looking for a master system 1 so I can fit the FM sound mod I bought months ago.
Waiting for one to turn up locally though as I can't be arsed paying shitbay prices.

just dropped $17 on a copy of Shadow of the Colossus on amazon (gift card $$, so I didn't actually pay anything)

played it for the first time a few weeks ago at a friend's house, practically had to be pried away from the screen and told to leave. so, super pumped for that to show up

Waiting on a PAL N64 (tried to boot mine up the other day to play F-Zero X, only to find it wouldn't output any display...), as well as an NTSC-J Dreamcast and PS1.

Also ordered a bunch of seemingly obscure JP-only games for the both of them, and my Saturn. Probably going to get some footage of them on youtube once they get here, for all us scrubs who can't read Japanese and thus can't scour the J-Web for information.

>>1341443
never bought a V3 one - i started modding with the V4. Speaking about Pockets - there weren't worth the Mod - i should have known that 2xAAA batteries cant rly power a backlight long enough. Still wish there would be a way around the backlight dimming too fast...

>>1327905
>>1329554
>>1330157
The package was delayed and didn't get here until last Tuesday, but it doesn't matter because the prototypes didn't work.

Back to the drawing board. See you all in another 18 months.

>>1324526
waiting on this. Also waiting on SMT if... and KMT in box.

Tekken 3 Ling Xiaoyu figure.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2

im expecting

>The hardest part was getting the triggers to stay in place when putting the shell back together.
The shoulder buttons are always a bitch when reassembling Sony controllers. Which brings me to what I'm waiting for:
A DS4. Gotta wait till monday, but it should be pretty nice for emulation.

>>1341769
Oh Jesus that poor controller.

Ah well, console looks good.

>>1341769
muh dick

how much did it cost?

>>1330975
I bet you also don't know he voiced a Power Rangers monster.

>>1345769
yeah the plastic looks gross as fuck but im hoping it will still work.

>>1345783
130 dollars with 40 dollars sipping

No actual retro hardware, but I picked up a few of those arcade compilations for the PS2. Seeing King of Dragons in action in the original form is simply stunning next to the SNES version. I mean, its not as big a difference as in many games (and in many ways is actually very impressive how good a port the SNES could do), but seeing one of your favorite console beat em ups in higher res, with better detail and better music is a great treat. You can even see the wizard's face, he has a beard and everything. I always thought he was just some sort of demon goblin thing like the FF Black Mage.

Its multitap compatible, too!

>>1345825
I sold my copy of knights of the round shortly after I picked up that capcom classics collection

>>1345830
Never played that one, and now I have access to it, so it'll be played in the not too distant future. I love all those type of games. Golden Axe, D&D, King of Dragons. The fantasy beat em ups are just so much cooler than Streets of Rage/Final Fight types of beat em ups.

>>1345852
I agree I do love streets of rage but I fucking adore golden axe even if most of the game is dancing with enemies. Its old school brutal, its got an amazing soundtrack the places they travel are amazing and its a love letter to conan the barbarian doesn't get much better than that imo. That first level music brings a tear to my eye.

>>1345921
I like the coin-op, but the Genesis version is mind-numbingly repetitive and for some reason, a little harder.

>>1324526
waiting for pic related.

I got my first Saturn game today! And yes I need to clean my desk.

>>1345921
>I fucking adore golden axe even if most of the game is dancing with enemies
3 was worse. The AI could be exploited by facing away from them and doing a backswing. No denying it wasn't good though.

>>1330214
dont fucking buy sonic 06 you fuck

>>1345948
Do you have a pizza already, or are you getting one later?

>>1345921
>>1345932
Did Sega ever release the arcade port of Golden Axe to console? I know that Revenge of Death Adder is arcade only, but what about 1? I have it for both Genesis and Sega CD but I hate both ports and just play Golden Axe 2 instead. In 1 for Genesis, the music cuts out whenever an enemy screams, and in the Sega CD version they replaced all the screams with goofy "ow" voices. Both versions sound horrible.
