/vr/ - Retro Games

hows the game ?

>>1585953
Pretty much just a port of Metal Slug with a 9/11-themed intro with some footage from the attack

>>1585964
>every single sound effect is taken from Zelda

other than that, it looks a pretty well done Metal Slug port

Thinking about reviewing bootleg/pirate ROMs as I dont have to worry about piracy and can just emulate them

There are some fairly decent (by the standards of bootleg games that is) demakes of DKC games on the NES (there are two DKC1 demakes by different people although 1 is more a of a GBC port to NES i think) although the DKC2 pirate only has 3 levels total

>/pol/: the game

>>1586835
i love how that's not got "game boy" or some take on game boy like game child, it's just "game"

im thinking about the logistics of a web series like that though

ive recorded full playthroughs of some rom hacks but i'd like to have some seamless footage as well (to save editing out deaths), is there a way i can (and would it be acceptable to) play through the game with savestates and have recorded footage that doesn't skip around with the savestates?

im a little shy about using my voice but i suppose there are ways around that if im not happen with a test recording like doctoring (maybe use a text to speech program but that might be tacky) or get a friend to read lines that i write down

what bootleg games would you reccomend/like to see reviewed? also are there any bootleg atari ROMs (ones that are legal to emulate)? i can't find a list anywhere, even bootleg games wiki

>>1586901

>>1586916
what game is this supposed to be even

>>1586916
how anyone came across a warped image of a cat and thought "that will make a great game cover" is beyond me, its even worse than pic related

>>>1586937
Judging from the ridges I'm guessing it's supposed to be a holograph, with the cat going weird. Still pretty dumb, since it doesn't even tell you what game it is (or it may be a multicart with a weird cart label)

Also jesus christ that is a bad boxart. Who fucking greenlit that shit

>Who fucking greenlit that shit
bust a move tends to get strange box art but i guess its hard to make an ineresting box art given the amount of bust a move games and the games content (which is a shame because i love bust a move)

>>1586957
that looks pretty interesting, they did some neat stuff mixing content from different games in the series, the music isn't as bad as other pirate games on the megadrive but its still not good (i don't know what it is about the megadrive that gets such bad music from pirates, maybe they aren't compensating for the chips shortcomings?)
dear lord that KRool fight and ending though

also i swear at 1:43 i hear the OUYA start up sound

Laughed more than I should have

DUMPING MY COLLECTION

>>1586901
There's literally a wikia called "bootleg games wiki"

>>1586990
All they gotta do is make super cute images of Bub and Bob.

>>1587115
i know, i mentioned it in my post, i could'nt find any atari bootleg games on the wikia though, i guess ill look again, i just thought there would be loads since its an old system

>>1587118
Reminds me of my bootleg "40 in 1" or something GBC cart. Aside from being absolutely awesome for containing all 1st and 2nd gen Pokerman games bundled with a bunch of other pirated and actually decent games, it was also notable for the Crystal version on it being the infamous vietnamese hack. "DRUG BAG FUCK!". Of course as a kid I barely suspected anything was off with the game and played it as much as the rest (the other pokemon versions were legit)

It was a multi-cart I believe.

Regret not buying it when I had the chance.

>>1587153
Well, I would have bought it too. Too good to pass up.

But I'm curious, what game could possible be inside?

>>1587153
Is that that vandalised Jesus painting? wat

>>1586916
I want to know what kind of game is inside that mystery cat cartridge

>>1586957
>those terror screams when killing enemies

>>1586951
I'm going to try really hard not to be pedantic but it's a lenticular image. I like them

>>1587660
I think the Scream is from the the Rollercoster music in DKC2

>>1587703
Ah, good call. I thought it was the death cry of the whip wielding dominatrix enemies in Streets of Rage 2.

>At Goodwill, standing in line for register
>bunch of Genesis games lined up on display; mostly sports, nothing notable
>see one cartridge on counter out of its case
>do them a small favor and decide to put the game back in its case.
>open case and find (bootleg) Megadrive Tetris cartridge

Might count? didn't this fuckers hook up to a NES? I could be wrong so I'll post this one first as it's least relevent. Saved the fuck out of a bootleg/engrish toy thread a while ago and I got a few games

>>1587793
Nope. Very much different.

>>1587793
video game based book? Getting to the actual video games here

>>1587812
here we are

>>1587818
>>1587825
lel that was weird

>>1587825 cont.

>>1587831

>>1587812
book actually has nothing to do with video games aside from a drug/sleep sequence where the main character thinks he's a pokemon or something.

ayup.

>>1587834
gah I know I have one more but I can't find it so here's a totally different kind of nintendo bootleg

>>1587835
well the cover really emphasized that part. I thought is was a fucked up russian fanfic about anthro pokefurs molesting each other

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Pelevin

> Victor Olegovich Pelevin (Russian: Ви́ктор Оле́гович Пеле́вин, IPA: ['vʲiktər pʲJ'lʲevʲJn], born 22 November 1962) is a Russian fiction writer, the author of novels "Omon Ra", "Chapayev and Void" and "Generation P". He is a laureate of multiple literary awards including the Russian Little Booker Prize (1993) and the Russian National Bestseller (2004). His books are multi-layered postmodernist texts fusing elements of the pop culture and esoteric philosophies while carrying conventions of the science fiction genre. Some critics relate his prose to the New Sincerity literary movement.

> Pelevin's prose is usually devoid of dialogue between the author and the reader, whether through plot, character development, literary form or narrative language. This corresponds to his philosophy (both stated and unstated) that, for the most part, it is the reader who infuses the text with meaning. Typical of Pelevin's ironic style, the novel Babylon ("Generation П" or "Generation P" is the Russian title) bears on its cover the inscription, "Any thought that occurs in the process of reading this book is subject to copyright. Unauthorized thinking of it is prohibited".

Surprisingly entertaining to read (from what I've read) if you like modernist literature that talks a lot without saying much, though sometimes it's hard to tell whether things are nonsensical because of the writing, or the translation. I generally assume the former.

>>1587812
I've seen this being posted in many bootleg threads and well, this isn't one. For better or worse it's not a erotic pokemon anthro fanfic sold in Russia but rather an esoteric novel about an aspiring businessman obsessed with numerology. Pokemon /do/ feature somewhat prominently in the book as the main character's girlfriend is sort of a furry who is obsessed with Pokemon and thinks she's Meowth and the MC is Pikachu, but that's not a central part of the plot and they just chose the cover to be as kitschy as possible because 90s-early 2000s Russia didn't have a concept of copyright.

>>1586916
I'd pay so much money for this

A bootleg 89 in 1 handheld famicon thingie that can plug into the TV.
Easily available from those hong kong/china shopping sites for less than 20 bucks.

This came in the post the other day.

I'm too lazy to do a frontlight mod myself so I got this for £15.

It's actually surprisingly well put together and plays everything I've tried perfectly.

My only gripe is the screen seems like it will scratch easily.

Might get a few more to fuck around with.

>>1588096
Get some smartphone/iphone screen protectors, cut them to the approximate size of the gb screen = profit

>>1588131
Great idea, I'll get a matte one to cut down reflections too.

>>1585940
Someone needs to dump that fucking ROM.

>>1588071
You can also get them off eBay for around the same price.

>>1586916
Game Boy "musician" here, holy shit I want to do that to my carts.
Is there a site where you can print those kind of images?
What's the name for that kind of thing?
>"Jurassic Park 2 DJ scratchy 3d woah it's coming right at me" sticker
Is the best I can come up with.

>>1585940
Did that guy from the Lost Media Wiki manage to get a dumper for this cart?

>>1588396

It was actually already posted, they're "lenticular"

>>1588432
Ah, thanks.

Would watch

I don't own this.

Would love to own this someday.

>>1588396

>>1589898
I wonder what game this really is.

>in b4 it's "Dracula: Crazy Vampire"

>2014
>not owning a treamcast

>>1591013
where's the treamcast controller?

>>1587825

FUN FACT:
The cover for the "Dragons" one is also the cover from Gary Gygax's novel "Artifact of Evil", the second one in the Greyhawk Adventures series.

>>1591013
>owning a treamstation instead because the treamcast wasn't retro a few months ago.

>>1589646
working on getting footage and writing review now, in the likely event that this thread dies before i make a vid should i make another thread for bootlegs starting off with my vid/post it in a bootleg thread if there is a another one?

>>1586817
Watch Dendy Chronicles. Pavel (the guy) doesn't have as much charisma as, say, AVGN, but he says some really interesting stuff, not only about video games in Russia but also that detail about Pepsi. Really cool stuff. It may be a good source of inspiration.

Kinaman has a few videos subtitled in english but sadly most of those are translated very poorly and make little sense. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJQr3tnjHlg is one of the better-subtitled videos of him I've seen.

>>1592684
Reminds me of this one pirate I used to have on a GBA multicart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDdSINgWIk4

>>1588096

Where did you order it from?

I wish I owned pic related

>>1592713
Aliexpress, they even sell pirate GB cartridges too. I havn't received any of those yet, but i asked them for a pokemon and 2 random multicarts. Hopefully I'll get something good...

>>1585940
No clone thread is complete without a trip to Kinaman's videos about NES bootlegs

http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=AEJxc5V6

>>1592697
>Most of those

Only the very recent video have poor subtitles, 75% of his English subtitled videos are fine. Even the Kinamania Spectacular has really good subtitles for a video subtitled days ago

>>1592052
>also what his deal with pepsi?

Pepsi in the '90s was according to him, worth its weight in gold. It was so expensive, most Russian kids only had a chance to drink it at New Years' or birthday parties.

Crazybus isn't even a real game, just a test for an engine, right?

>>1591759
If this thread dies and there's no bootleg thread open, you should make a new thread for it. I would watch a bootleg review.

>>1585940
Kart Fighter, which plays like an early Smash Bros. prototype.

is this picture recreated from any DKC artwork? i cant find it and would like to see a comparison if it is, it seems unlikely that a pirate could create this image from scratch

>>1595840
im an idiot, forgot to include the pic

>>1591765
Why is kinaman a better youtube "celebrity" than actual youtube "celebrities"? Am I a slavboo?

nvermind, i found it, candy looks prettier inthe pirate version imo but in the original DKs arm doesnt look like it a big leg of hers

I'm laughing so harfd I can't breathe

>>1585940
I remember seeing lots of Dragonball Z and Megaman bootlegs on Ebay years ago and I was pretty damn tempted the only reason I didnt get them was they only accepted paypal and my dad didnt like to do internet anything at the time
