/vr/ - Retro Games

Tetris is always an excellent game to unwind to, pilotwings 64 is pretty comfy too.

a little game called harvest moon, maybe you've heard of it

Tetris is great on the bus. Almost forgot about PW64.

>>1497353
That game is far too stressful for me. So much room for errors and ends up feeling like a job.

Incredible Crisis

Earthbound, kirby super star, pokemon gold are some good ones I like. I also enjoy Super Mario Kart 64, especially playing Koopa Troopa Beach over and over (dat BGM)

>>1497283
I find very relaxing traveling the world of Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon while listening to the music.

Pokemon R/B and G/S are nice as well.

For whatever reason, Run 'n Guns are the best for me when I'm trying to relax. I suck when I actually try to play, but when I just play it for fun I get much farther and die much less. Kinda funny.

My most comfiest game is Paper Mario. But I think it's likely because I've beaten it so many times I don't even need to think of what I'm doing or where I'm going in it. A lot of N64 games are comfy to me, Banjo Kazooie, Mario 64, Pokemon Snap, Harvest Moon 64, etc etc.

But I also freaking adore Bust a move for snes, I used to play it every night before going to bed.

Old lengthy RPGs where you and your friends go on adventures and fight monsters regardless of danger for random reasons and discover the meaning of friendship and adventure

I don't have much time to play nowadays and being able to play something like Grandia for an hour or two a week is really great

nah i actually play it to relax and unwind. The being said I'm usually pretty on edge. The feeling after mastering a level is glorious

Once you actually get good at a platformer, you can chill out with something that seems "hard" on the surface. I find breezing through the first 4 worlds of Ninja Gaiden fairly relaxing actually. Not good enough at the game to say the same for the last 2 worlds though...

Little Big Adventure 2.

>>1499253
I've played ninja gaiden enough to almost totally zone while playing yet still win no continues. That being said, FF1/Tetris are my favorite chill games, the story in FF1 is perfect to me because its just vague enough to let my imagination go wild.

>>1499162
I wish I could marry Grandia. perfection for the whole "power of friendship" thing.

>>1499443
Agreed. I love it. That fan art is also pretty good

>>1497283
One of my favourite simple games is Devil's Crush on the Turbografx-16. It's just pinball, but by far the best vidya pinball I have ever played.

Also the music is awesome:

Turf Masters on the Neo Geo. I often play it in bed after getting wasted at the bar. Pick the German every time.

I find Descent to be a very relaxing and easy to pickup game, once you find controls that are suitable for you, all while still being extremely fun, fast paced, and intricate at the same time.

The Legend of Zelda - those happy feels of nostalgia as a boy is therapy money can't buy.

the king of comfy

playing this without a guide of some sort would be pretty frusterating imo

Unreal Tournament (PC) and PSO (DC)

Harvest Moon 3 GB(C)

I only played during the day when I first got the game in, but I got a Worm Light in recently and it makes things easier. Its still a little hard to see, but its better than nothing.

If you can remove the shame and guilt from using a guide, you're home free bastard.

>pilotwings 64

>tfw my local /vr/ shop's N64 inventory is mostly all wrestling games* and racers**; have never come across PW64

* not that there is, to my knowledge, anything wrong with those games; it's just not a genre I've ever gotten into
** problem here being that I already own most all of them, except the ones they never carry, e.g. Beetle Adventure Racing

I always dip back into Yoshi's Island. That game is the physical embodiment of my childhood, and all the nostalgias.

Oh yeah, and FF Tactics Advance. Not retro enough? whateverrrrrrrrr

Second PW64.

Birdman on repeat all goddamn day long. It blew my brains out when I was 7. And still does.

If there are other people over, Super Smash Bros Melee is great. Otherwise, games like Paper Mario or Zelda are my go-to games.

>>1500094
Lufia 2 is also super comfy 4me. I haven't played Lufia1.
