/vr/ - Retro Games

Spyro 3 for me. A strong second place goes to Metal Gear Solid.

>>1388439
All three Spyro Games are among my favorites. Same with Crash 2 and 3.

Grown pretty fond of Tales of Eternia too. Picked up a copy a while back and thoroughly enjoyed it. Gets bonus points for still playing pretty damn fluidly even now, even if it's not that refined compared to later entries in the series.

Metal Gear Solid all day!

Or FF7 or 9

...Or Crash 3.

I get my cord for my PS1 in the mail tomorrow or friday I hope, I cannot wait for this shit, I have not even booted the thing up since I bought it over a year ago. Shame..

>>1388532
What happened to the original cord and why did you buy an incomplete one?

Spyro, Threads of Fate, FF9, Monster Rancher 2

Tie between Jade Cocoon and Parasite Eve 2.

I love Spyro but I only played first one. Second and Third have some weird gimmicks. Too complicated for its own good. My favourite is Ape Escape. Yesterday I finished it in japenese cause I wanted to have original voice acting.

There's quite a few i'd rate highly, but i guess i'll have to go with this.

megaman x4

the best

It was FF8 until I beat pic related for the first time this week.

>>1388818
Muh boy

a perfect game

>>1388569
ape escape is such a peice a shit game though

Metal Gear Solid

>>1389224
My second favorite.

Brings back memories.

A lot.

In my opinion, this game is more polished than the legends games.
Just remember to emulate it.

Should've had the picture.
The only place I've gotten this to work on is my PSP. There's a common problem on ePSXe where dialogue won't advance.

No idea why but I played the shit out of this game, so this or crash bandicoot warped

Rayman is fun until the band level

Interesting topic of dicussion, well I remember been blown away when I first saw wipeout, my friend had the console near release with wipeout. I literally couldn't believe the speed and graphics that the game had, moving from the mega drive I was staggered, unbelievable, I had to have that game, I begged, luckily it was near christmas and I sold my mega drive to fund it. I don't regret it though as I played that game for hours, although I have had many games for the PS1 wipeout will always be remembered as that game.

>>1389239

this is a good game, not sure why it's hated

...because light gun support was removed? i had fun playing it w/ the d-pad

Uhh this.

>>1388439
Just got into this yesterday for the first time and i'm loving it so far, I was always more of a naughty dog guy back then but lately i've been on a ratchet and clank marathon and since I ran out of R&C games I decide to finally give this game a chance. Boy did i miss a great game.
I'm hoping the sequel turns out to be the Going Commando of Spyro.
Running out of Insomniac games to play...

The first game I ever considered a favorite.
Still have the disk, and it's been scratched to hell for years. It's something that I really need to find another copy of when I can.

spyro 2 is the best in the series and objectively superior to the original
most people like the original better because its "darker"

>>1391373
>"darker"
What? I haven't gotten that vibe so far.
Either way i'm loving it and that's good to hear, looking forward to it.

>>1390910
Aw man, I loved this game. Must have finished the campaign at least 10 times.

Wish they'd made a sequel.

Wild Arms 2.

Despite it's lack of decent editting, it is still the best JRPG I've ever played.

>>1391373
>most people like the original better because its "darker"
Yeah fuck you and your strange preferences, Spyro 1 is a better game than 2 because it's got better design. Spyro 2 is a goddamn mess with pipe levels and minigames because Insomniac couldn't make a full lenght open world platformer.

>>1391373
Spyro 2 is objectively superior for like 10 minutes, until you realize all the levels are shittier and there's talking animals everywhere.

>>1391364
Yeah, Insomniac used to be pretty dang good. All three of the Spyro games they made are great. Most people tend to enjoy the second game the most if they're not the sort who dislike suddenly have other characters to interact with and sidequests to do. Some feel that the third tries to do a bit too much due to the other playable characters, but it's still pretty dang good.

Oh, and the second game gives you a reward for 100% that can be carried over to a new game.

Spyro 3 was my favorite of the franchise, it just had so much content

>>1391397
Been meaning to play that when I finish the first game. Heard the translation has some issues though. Is it more of it just being overly literal, or is it outright mistranslated?

>>1391550
but youre forced to play as shitty side-characters and skateboard and yeti box

>>1391565
Not him, but some of the side characters were actually kind of fun (Agent 9 could have been handled a lot better though), and the skateboarding made for a kind of interesting diversion. I agree with the Yeti boxing though; fuck that.

Actually don't really have a favorite out of the three games since I played and loved each one so much growing up. First game definitely has the comfy factor though.

This one.

Uh talking animals is a problem how?

>>1391548
>can be carried over to a new game.
WHAT
HOW DID I NEVER LEARN THIS

The original was incredibly groundbreaking, and peerless, but the sequel made tons of improvements.

>>1391935
>If you have ALL the orbs and ALL the gems, in Dragon Shores you can open a door to a power-up that gives you a PERMANENT super fireball power. If you start a new game after quitting one where you had the permanent super fireball -- don't turn off the machine before hand, or load the winning game again after you do -- your new game will feature Spyro with the fireball from the beginning.

>that feel when fireball and jump glitching the game in a fraction of the time spent normally as a kid
>feel like you've become a god of the game
