/vr/ - Retro Games

That game is pretty good.

>>1546013

Shit, that game kicked ass

>>1546013
Christ what a blast from the past, but yeah that was actually a fun game.

I actually really like the art direction in this game, not even joking. It's nice and abstract. Music is nice too. Game design and controls are horrific though.

>>1546075
>>1546158
>>1546160
Glad to see this game has such a positive consensus. I loved playing it too.

This and the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command game.

>>1546336
Monsters Inc. for the PS1 was also amazing as well.
In fact a lot of Disney games were awesome, captured the charming platform vibe very well, mainly the bright colors.

Now we only get dark tones, shit sucks. Props for Rayman games.

not guilty but I really loved the phantom menace game for ps1

it was broken, unbalanced and frankly unfair.

but i loves it.

I used to play Evil Twin Cypriens Chronicles all the time for the PC when I was like 10 or so. It was buggy as hell but the environments were fun if a little frustrating due to bad design choices sometimes. The characters were cool too, all feeling like you were playing an early Tim Burton movie.

In all honesty I'm probably nostalgia goggles all over when it comes to it because everyone else I've met says its trash.

Would probably play this more often if I knew anyone willing to sit down and play it with, even with Hot Wheels being fairly childish. Had a lot of fun with it growing up and last I recall playing it it was still pretty damn good. Pretty well made for what it was with a good amount to unlock.

>>1546013
I remember a friend had that and I think I played it at their house a few times. Don't remember much about it though.

>>1546013
>>1546336
>>1546471
>>1546490
Fucking loved those games

>>1546491
Yeah, back in the day I had pretty much nothing on my Playstation except all three Spyro games and Hot Wheels Turbo Racing, so I REALLY got my mileage out of them. Hot Wheels Turbo Racing was no CTR, but damn if it wasn't still good.

Honestly, if I hadn't managed to get Hot Wheels Turbo Racing back then (not sure how I got it actually; might have been tossed in with the system, which I think my family had bought from a pawn shop or something), I probably have written it off these days. As such, when I saw a complete copy in great shape for a measly $6 last year or so, I jumped on it, since I have no idea where my original copy went. Not the same without other people to play with though.

>>1546494
Is it possible to beat the final race?

kasumi ninja is such a broken and horrible game but the bad plot and digitized actors make it so bad that it actually likable like a low budget monster movie

>>1546497
I think so, at least in the Playstation version. I mean, it's been a good while, but I don't recall it being some forced loss, or otherwise insanely buggy final race or anything. Could be remembering wrong though.

>>1546502
maybe i need to get good or something

>>1546504
What car have you been trying to use? I don't remember exactly which one I used for it, but I recall maining Shadow Jet and Thunder Roller for most of the game.

>>1546490

>>1546506
I don't remember it's been years, I just know I wasn't gud enough

>>1546509
I honestly never heard the opening song sound like that until someone pointed it out. On that note, the audio, both musically, effects, and the announcer's voicing were pretty damn good, at least in the Playstation version. Not sure if the N64 version was different in that regard, since I never had that version.

Looking back, I wonder what my parents must have thought when they heard someone (eithr me or a friend) on the car select screen hit Strip Teaser, given the innuendo and the way the announcer said it pretty loudly. Not that I knew the other meaning at the time.

We talk about PC games, but it doesn't mean we are allowed talk about PC games made after the cut off date. It is still a 2002 game

>>1546609
But the game was also for the Dreamcast, and all Dreamcast games are allowed. And so are ports.

so many hours....

>>1546651
Still better than the NES games. The GB port is good and the Mega Drive game has less digitized stills from the movie

>>1546336
I was just playing this game yesterday! The camera is whacked, but overall it's pretty cool.

For some reason I really love this shitty game.

This and the second one. I remember them as being the shit, but I bet if I were to get those games back I'd be disappointed.

The music was pretty cool too.

Mate, now I just miss the game even more. TAT

OP here. I loved this 102 Dalmatians as a kid and I'm just now replaying it for the first time in over ten years. I am honestly surprised on the opinion people have about this game. I thought it was just me.

>>1546879
>>1546910

Didn't an updated version of this eventually come out on the PS2?

>>1547437
That game confused the shit out of me

>>1546879
Are you nuts?

This game and the second and the thind one are the most inmersive games ever! The atmosphere and the colectible cards, the need to explore every single corner to get your reward...!

Chester Cheetah's Wild Wild Quest.

I actually like Chester's design.

My absolute nigga

>>1546461
>In fact a lot of Disney games were awesome, captured the charming platform vibe very well, mainly the bright colors.

This man has spoken words full of thruth.

Here's another example.

>>1546471
This game was mainly my brother yelling at me for sucking dick and dying, but other than that it was fun.

>>1547437
Holy shit I watched Zeta play that the other day. Though I'm almost certain he's on /vr/ a lot.

Every single person I've shown this to laughs at it until they start playing it.

This. I fucking loved this game. I don't think I should have to feel bad about that.

>dat mirrorworld level

>>1546182

That was the first game I got for the PS1 and even as a nine year old with no standards I HATED this game.

Those repetitive catchphrases.

Those terrible jumping mechanics.

Those headache inducing checkerboard patterns.

tl;dr: Ulillillia pls leave

The Simpsos games made by Acclaim.
They are pretty bad and way too difficult for their own good, they're basically LJN-tier, but I have fond memories with them, especially Bart's Nightmare (my favorite), and VS Space Mutants and The World for NES, lots of good memories playing those 2 with family and friends back in the day.

>>1549119

Ahhhh this game was hell. I liked it but what the fuck why was it so hard?

I may have only liked it because it was The Simpsons though.

>>1549123

I don't know, they just didn't give a fuck about difficulty balance I guess, since they knew kids would buy the games anyway because they were the simpsons.
I remember some of the mini-games were easy, like the one you had to pop up bacterias, or the bartman stage (which was really cool), but my absolute favorite was the Bartzilla stage.... I could never finish it though.

And fuck the indiana jones stage, fuck that one.

>>1549126

I could never finish it either, and I always got excited when the Bartizilla stage came up. It used to terrify me going up the skyscraper because I knew I barely stood a chance and didn't even really know how to not get myself killed. It's the same feeling I got when I got to the boos stage of Winged Fortress in Sonic 2, the one with the little room and the floating platforms. At six or seven years old it seemed impossible and I dreaded it, especially with Robotnik standing outside and mocking me with his laughter.

Damn, this thread is making me remember how many licensed games I used to really enjoy back during the PS1 era.

>>1549146

Disney licensed games were actually pretty awesome during the 16 bit era, especially the Capcom and Sega games, not so much the Virgin ones (although they were still not that bad).
Then disney started hiring other kind of developers and IMO they went down heavily in quality, and started to feel more like shovelware.

>>1549126

Bart's Nightmare is easy enough when you discover tricks.

Bartzilla: Keep firing down until you see a jet in the background, prepare to shoot straight ... and that's it

Part 2: It's hard to electrocute homer, but it's doable. No trick here really. You need to touch his foot to be able to electrocute him. IIRC, the first electrocution last longer, so try to keep it

Itchy and Scratchy: You can cheese the game with the Hammer, get on the counter and you can hit them FROM it. Defeat the bulb to get lives

Part 2: Same, but harder. Keep it for the end, because you can REALLY easily grind points on the boss. You need 250,000 points or something to get A+ (or else you just get A)

Bartman: No trick here, but it's doable enough with practice. Really fun mini-game

Indiana Bart: When there's Maggy, scroll the screen with L&R, she will shoot and then you can pass. Wait for the devil and kill them as soon as possible. Be careful about which rock you jump on. You jump on one, one goes upo and that one goes down, you can get totally stuck. If a rock .... has a burning effect or something around it = if you jump on it, you die. Also dinosaur eggs (lives) aren't worth it, you'll get caught most of the time or die trying to reach it quickly

Water thing catching the Atom: Easiest Minigame

Overworld: Jump over the 3 eyed fishes to gain ... 2-3 pillows or something to gain a continue if you lose all your Zs. The more you advance, the longer it is to get a page.

And that's it

Virtual Bart however ... Much harder, even with an emulator I couldn't figure out some of the games. The tomato one, I was great as a kid but I never managed to finish it. The baby one, urrrg, in this one there's some sort of race later, even with save state it was impossible...I must be missing a trick or something. I need to get it for Snes, but it's kind of overpriced on Ebay and I can't find it anywhere else

>>1549137

And when you got down to your last Z and everything on the screen just became an outline with no color and the music cut down to just a drumbeat. Terrifying.

>>1549153

Oh shit. Speaking of Simpsons games for the Genesis/Megadrive, does anyone remember Krusty's Super Funhouse?

This was actually a really fun game. Sort of like Lemmings but with mice and you're trying to kill them instead of save them, and running around a level moving blocks and pipes and shit.

Solving the puzzles was so satisfying.

>>1546490

Shit, I remember buying that game back when I was 11 or so for $4. I spent countless hours on it but I don't remember getting all of the secret cars. I'm glad someone else enjoyed that game as much as I did.

>>1547279
Yes, it was basically just the PS2 Chamber of Secrets game with a makeover

>>1546490
I played the heck out of this game, but I didn't have a memory card

>>1548571
THIS GAME WAS THE FUCKING SHIT

>>1549163
This was ported to nearly every system. I think it was supposed to be its own game until they had The Simpsons license tacked at the last minute

>>1549153
The same guy who made Alley Cat worked on Bart's Nightmare. He hated his experience so much that he quit the video game industry

>>1549119
Acclaim like LJN only published games. They had other people make them

This game right here.

Its very simplistic and unappealing if you aren't a fan of Beavis and Butthead,
but the music is fantastic and it controls really well.

I think its a pretty good game, and one that is VERY underrated.

I'm talking about the SNES game by the way.

>>1549510
"Its" is the possessive of "it"
"It's" is a contraction of "it is"

This on an original macintosh. I went though the effort of emulating this a year ago and honestly the game is terrible. I doubt anybody here has even heard of it it's so obscure, but I have fond memories of skipping a dance in middle school to go to the computer lab and play this game. Oh god what have I done with my life.

Target Renegade for the NES

The only thing this game has going for it is the soundtrack. The gameplay is lame (you just have punches and kicks, but there aren't any combos and the hitstun is wonky), there's hardly any enemy variety (friggin' Double Dragon 1 on the NES had more enemy types in stage 1 than this game does), the bosses are lame and boring to fight, and the graphics are pretty ugly.

However, for whatever reason, I spent enough time with this game to get good at it. Good enough to beat it.

It gets worse, though.

I was playing this game on an emulator in 2003-4. I had better games I could have been playing. It's not like I got this as a kid and had nothing else to play. I willingly played through this shitty game I got for free on the internet.

But the soundtrack is really, really rad. It's Tim Follin, so that's to be expected.

No amount of posting that will ever make people change.

Its pretty annoying, and I think its about time you stopped.

>>1546879
The first few HP games were amazing. Unfortunately this is what the series finished up with.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhbQ3ZaUH6k

>>1549536
It is worse when the ending loops

This game isn't really good by any standard, yet I found it somehow entertaining enough to beat it several times. It might have something to do with the weapons, especially in the wild west period and the world wars. It was an awkward kind of fun I had.

Freaking love this game, really difficult and the levels are so pretty


>>1549107
That game was the best

I played the shit out of this game, and I still play it from time to time. I liked that you could beat it in one sitting, and also the multiplayer was fun since both players can play at the same time.

I didn't even realize until recently that it was part of a series

>>1549645
How can you feel guilty about a licensed Disney game made by Capcom?

Man i loved this game.

I feel like the only person who actually liked it.

>>1547209
I had this game too, and it was incredible fun, in all the aspects I can recall. The only thing bothered me, was that the "dog-roll" attack actually made your dog move faster than just walking; basically I played as a sanic-dog.

>>1549706
Why was it bad
I'm too lazy to google

>>1549521
You can't keep posting that and expect people to stop. If anything they'll keep doing it just to piss you off.

>>1549569
For the love of god, why?

>>1549865
Never played but I assume it suffered what a lot of 2D platformers did when making the jump to 3D. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UA1H5r8gxAc

>>1549865
People hated the controls and camera, and constantly compared it to better 3D platformers and the previous EWJ's.

>>1549645

that's not a bad game, friend

>>1549569
Is that...Harry Potter of War?

>>1549510

It felt very splatter house

This is basically GTA.

>>1551575
Did Jim Carrey voice act in it?

>>1549903
That looks like it could have been pretty fun.

>>1549107

My and my brother just played through that game last thanksgiving. I was probably like 6 the last time I had played it.

We're big fans if the first three seasons of rugrats, so we actually had a lot of fun. They did a good job recreating the environments, as well as the weird music that characterised the early episodes

I used to love the shit outta those Clayfighter games. Especially the N64 one where you could play as Earthworm Jim and Boogerman, it was the best.

>>1552548
I don't think i have ever played a game in which the A.I. turtles as much as this. You could have whole rounds that are nothing but you attacking the A.I. until they have no health left purely from block damage.

>>1552578
I don't remember the N64 ones, being this bad when it came to the AI, but recently I came back to the SNES ones, and they were no fun at all.

Case in point, first SNES one was terrible.

>>1552578
You should try X-Men: Children of the Atom on Saturn.

"Block damage victories" happen all the time, even on the easiest difficulty.

>>1552627
It's only on the hardest setting that the A.I. will start to turtle like mad. On the lower levels they pretty much never block, even if you shoot slow projectiles across the whole screen.

>>1550512

Call of Dumbledore: Modern Witchcraft

>>1549704
You should try bugs and taz
>>1548487
Tarza is really great too.
