/vr/ - Retro Games

I say this every thread (and hopefully I've convinced someone of playing), but Judge Dredd and True Lies are better than they have any right to be.

>>1586316
can't say I have

Most Konami and Capcom licensed games were good. Hard to pick a favorite... maybe TMNT IV.

Terminator 2 on C64. the dark, gritty tone and music, unusual for C64 games, really gave it that similar ominous feel the movie had

the turtles games were good too. though the 16-bit beat em-ups were far superior, the original turtles game on the C64, specifically the PAL version, is one of my favourites

cant think of any others right now, unsurpringly as movie/tv show-to-game adaptations are notorious for being utter shit

Super Star Wars.
Star Wars: Dark Forces
Star Wars: Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight
I think the colons get even more ridiculous after that one but you get the point. Star Wars had a great run of good games in the early to mid 90s. Before well, you know what happened.

Please tell me this is a mecha-basketball game.

CHANGE IT!
GWAR!
AHUEAHUEAHUEAHUE

Beavis and Butthead was one of my first video games, I had it on the Genesis. It was hard as balls and that password system was hell, but thank god for cheat codes on the internet back then.

>not eating that delicious burger out of the dumpster

1990 and it still remains the single best movie tie-in vidya.

To this day I regret selling Little Nemo the Dream Master.

If anime counts...

>Digimon World 2
>Vampire Hunter D
>Ghost in the Shell

And if pro wrestling counts, then...

>WWF Attitude
>WCW Thunder (highly underrated, IMO)

And for the rest...

>Jurassic Park: The Arcade Game
>The Simpsons Arcade Game
>Alien Trilogy

It's aged horribly but at the time its CAW was mind-blowing. I knew the n64 games were 'better games' but it was Attitude which I played constantly because of the fun of creating wrestlers and arenas and pretty much fucking everything.

>>1586771
To be fair, WWF Attitude was a decent (not great) alternative to WCW/nWo Revenge, for its time. I'd question the taste of anyone who picks Attitude up for their first time these days and likes it, but I can't blame a guy for their own fond memories.

I'm as glad as everyone else that THQ switched from WCW to WWF, because it always felt kinda lame that the crappier wrestling promotion had the better games.

>>1586390
Heh, I still have this game, just saw it on my shelf this morning

I enjoyed Demolition Man on the SNES

>>1586634
That fucking 2nd level ruined the pace of the game early on though. Slow, no real platforming, just trial and error with the monkeys, and that emu section... Hoo boy.

>>1586981

so you prefer Aladdin?

Alien 3, Stargate, seconding Judge Dredd all on the SNES.

Those type of 2D platformers where they use a sci-fi/action movie setting were always fun.

>>1586981
I swear, all I can remember from that level is fucking up on the emu part. It almost haunts me.

>>1586390

>my face when I went to an arcade and there was The Simpsons machine with nobody on it and at the last boss (Mr. Burns) and the countdown timer was going and I had no quarters

>>1586312
Genesis version right? That game was great. SNES version wasn't nearly as fun.

>>1586771
>>1586906
Attitude looked and played pretty bad, but my bestfriend and I had a TON of fun with it: the sound effects were satisfyingly brutal (especially when using the mic weapon), and wrestlers got visibly bruised and bloody as they took damage. CAW mode was great, I remember making my bestfriend and I (then tons others) and we would then spend hours beating the shit out of the wrestlers we hated, then we'd make 4 players matches where each one of us had his own avatar...

>the crappier wrestling promotion had the better games.
Call WCW crap again and I'll suplex your ass through a table.
Seriously though, around the time Revenge came out WCW was still at its peak (and beating WWF for ratings). It was after 1998 that it went seriously downhill

>>1587007
Aladdin is still the consistently better game though

>>1588079
>>1587007
No, I prefer Princess Trainer

>SNES
Aladdin
Star Wars
Batman (the one related to the animated series)

i also enjoyed smurfs & lion king as a child but theyre not any special

>>1586351
Fuuuuuuuck, yesssssss. My friend was digging through my SNES drawer once, stumbled on this, I wrecked his face, and...it went back into the drawer, because he never wanted to play me at it again. It felt good to wreck him though.

I think this was more deserving of a remake than DuckTales.

>>1588098
Have you tried Batman Returns for SNES? It's a pretty good beat 'em up.

Technically it's based off of the Saturday morning cartoon

Doesn't deserve the bad rep.

>>1588121
that cartoon is based off the game

>>1588141
I think Anon was getting at that the darker cartoon (there were two: a goofy one with slapstick humour and a 'darker' one that was basically a slash between a Tim Burton film and the Sonic franchise) was based on the Sonic series but Spinball itself is based on the cartoon? Not sure, however, as I've never played Spinball.

>>1588141
What about Street Fighter the Movie the Arcade Game?

>>1588186

>>1588136
Oh yes it does.

>>1586704
That game has some fucking annoying shit but damn if I don't love it.

Wasn't this technically a comic tie-in?
