/vr/ - Retro Games

Gaming History Source picks a game and shows off a bit of gameplay from every version/port of it in existence.

Also, Ancient DOS Games is great, but it's not on YouTube.

To be honest, I find Clint obnoxious. I unsubbed from his channel because he started doing more and more Let's Play style videos.

He mainly does /vr/ related and non-/vr/ related videos but I really like PeteDorr. I got into the PC Engine because of him.

>My personal favorite is Lazy Game Reviews.

Agreed.

>>1362062
It never really bothered me. He's not the loud obnoxious type of person anyways so his let's plays are alright with me.

SatoshiMatrix1 has a lot of good hardware and game reviews. qbertaddict1 has a lot of neat hardware videos too, but moreso on the digital/emulation side. Gamester81 is one of the more known channels.

I used to like ReviewTechUSA when he actually talked about retro games and clone consoles, but his newer videos kind of annoy me.

Allow me to reply to your post with a sentence that contains a large number of occurrences of the number 8.

Egosauruses are the opposite of Anonymous.
If you want to talk about YouTube fucking do it on YouTube. I hear they have comments now.

This is your channel, isn't it?

-e-celebs on /v/

We need a /vid/ board to take e-celeb nonsense off the other boards.

Moot, being the useless cunt he is refuses to make it.

>>1362971

This thread is about sharing informative Youtube channels so we can learn more about retro video games, not e-celebrities. Piss off, samefag.

>>1362976
There's a certain something you're supposed to do to shitposters.

Hint: It's not responding to their posts.

You can learn ten times as much reading an article on hardcoregaming101 or even giantbomb or gamefaqs. Fuck, must you be spoonfed information?

>>1362998
If you consider watching youtube videos spoonfeeding, you can consider reading all those websites spoonfeeding.

>>1363001
You're a special kind of idiot, huh?

>>1363005
I'm not the one who misunderstands basic concepts, so no.

>>1363006
You seem to think that watching videos is the same as reading so...

>>1363007
It's not the same.

However, in both cases, someone takes information and compiles it for someone else to consume. The only difference is the way it's taken in (through reading text or watching a video)

If one is spoonfeeding, then so is the other. The only reason you try to make it out to be radically different is to expose your shitposting isn't it?

>>1363014
expose = excuse*

>>1362928
His videos are full of inaccurate information. I mean that goon can't even read a fucking wikipedia article. And when he tries to be funny? Holy shit.

>>1362998
Yes we all know about those websites, they're very good. You don't need to post them in every thread asking about videos. Cus the funny thing about them is they aren't video sites.

I like Kinamania.

He's a Russian guy who makes videos about the Dendy, which was the Russian knockoff equivalent to the NES/Famicom. They give a rather interesting look into early 90s Russia and vidya. Sadly only some of the videos are translated and some of them are poorly translated at that.

>>1363337
I really really hate YouTubers but I kind of like Dendy Chronicles. There's interesting culture and, dare I even say historical significance to them?

>>1363348

It's a nice look into another world more or less. Very informative.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

e-celebs and youtube nonsense destroyed /v/. It will destroy /vr/ too.

This guy is so fucking rad. He worked at Sierra in the 90s and has a ridiculously rad collection. He's even friends with (The Immortal) John Hancock.

>>1365450

I'm subbed to his channel, but he can be really spergy at times. It makes me uncomfortable. His collection is extensive, though, and his videos are alright.

I like to watch AzuriteYT. He doesn't do exclusively retro games, but if you watch some of his streams he can just go on and on about the history of both PC and console gaming of the late 80s up to 2000 in so much detail. I've learned so much from him without even trying to learn anything it's crazy. Plus he's such a beast at DDR and fighting games.

I wanted to start one a channel for exploring older JRPGs and doing full LPs of then, but I'm too dull on my own and the only friend I had who was interested in doing it is really... Cringe inducing.

I'm more of a bro-gamer and he's more of a beta with a weak sense of humor type guy.

>>1366092
If you're going to do that, you have to do it for yourself. Don't worry about being too dull or shitty, just try and please yourself and have fun. Personally, I like to make little one-off videos of me playing stuff, usually just fucking around in different games, and hardly anyone sees it besides me and my friends. But I still have fun doing it, and really that's all I care about. If you want to do it in hopes that you'll make it big one day, I'd say don't even bother. But if you want to do it just for the sake of doing it, then have at it.

>>1366109
It's not about making it big, but rather making something worth watching in the first place.
