/vr/ - Retro Games

But I do watch porn for the story. If the context for why they are doing the things they do ain't good then I ain't gonna fiddle with my diddle over it.

If you're a Gameboy Collector then why don't you know what games are out for it? Shouldn't you have a, umm, collection?

Snark aside just go look up Racketboy or something. Come back here when you're looking for something obscure.

I do have a collection and have all the main games that every Gameboy Collector should have. I'm just looking for the fun, less-popular ones that are worth it to get

>>1615098
There are several games I've played just because they have pretty graphics. Video games are a visual medium, graphics matter.

>>1615098
micro machines was pretty fun

and evel knievel.

>>1615107
I watch Queen's Blade for the plot myself.

>>1615118

Alfred Chicken.

It's fun.

>>1615118

Donkey Kong Land games, Shantae (good luck getting that cheap), Wendy every witch way

game boy camera

For the Frog The Bell Tolls

Also known as Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru

>>1616060
So much this!

Also, no self respecting GB collection is complete without these 3 games:-

>a. Pokemon Pinball
>2. Shadowgate Classic
>d. Star Trek TNG

I guess it's now more about playing video games for the story being like watching porn for the story.

There's a few games I've enjoyed on it.

You should look into the Kirby games, Wario games and the Dragon Warrior games.

Shadowgate, Metal Gear Solid, Batman TAS, Elevator Action, Kid Dracula and Star Wars were the best ones I had when I was younger.

Gargoyle's Quest
Mole Mania
The Game and Watch games, if you don't have them already.
Metal Gear Solid is commonly recommended, too, but I wasn't a huge fan of it.
Donkey Kong '94
Donkey Kong Land I-III is pretty good as well.

Can't really think of anything else at the moment

Don't forget about the printer. Printer Compatible Games might be a a good choice too.

To wit: this game's engine was later repurposed and expanded for The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. The character Ralph in LA is a direct reference to the major character Ralph in For The Frog The Bell Tolls (and the frogs in Ralph's Villa are also references to his original game)

FUKKING FAGS

What about porn games? Should I play them for gameplay or porn?

>>1616980
Why not both?

>>1616947

I've got that on a 32-in-1 (that was only actually 10) cart. Awesome game. Only play that and Super Mario 4 from the whole cart.

Although I'm learning to like Dr Mario

The difference is that worse graphics (video quality) can make some porn better, since some of those bitches are fucking gross close up.

>>1615098
>I'm a Gameboy Collector
>I have you know, Mario, Pokemon, Zelda

Is this a joke?

Be a little honest and just ask for obscure games that aren't readily listed in the 1st page of Google results for must have GB games

You'd be surprised

This is the hardest thing I have ever thought about in my entire life. This requires Bill Nye, Carl Sagan, that fat guy who made linux, Ghondi, Jesus, that evil computer AI from System Shock, and Gilbert Godfry to figure this out

Really? Just play it for the porn till you splurge, then play it for the game until you're horny. Rinse, lather, repeat. Hygiene is essential.

>>1615684
Then you're the cancer killing gaming.

If all you care about is things looking pretty then go to an art museum. Video games are for the gameplay and I'm sick of companies sacrificing that in favor of pandering to autistic children who can't bear to see a visible polygon or two.

>>1616980
If by "porn game" you mean something like Zone's, then there is no gameplay, just "click an option and wait for the bar to reach 100%, then click a different button".

>>1618826
>fat guy who made linux

None of the people who made Linux are fat, perhaps you're talking about Richard Stalman, aka "Install Gentoo guy"?

>that evil computer AI from System Shock

Shodan.

>>1615107
Same here. I sometimes grow attached to the characters and I end up loving it as a series (hentai).

>>1615684
What are those?

>>1619047

But some games can be art. Not all. But I agree with the guy, some games I chose to play due to the visuals over the gameplay - Rez & LSD Dream Emulator for example. There are also many games i play for gameplay over graphics - classic infocom text adventures, roguelikes, etc.

Dont be so binary dude, there is space for many types of games, gamers, art, artists and everything inbetween in this world.

Playing video games for graphics is like watching porn for hot chicks getting fucked.

Playing video games for the story is like watching porn for the story.

Alan Cox is pretty fat.

>>1619239
Playing video games for the gameplay (conventional games anyway, not the artsy stuff) is like watching porn to jack off to hot chicks getting fucked in order to orgasm

>>1619239
I question your sexuality.

>>1615098
Minecraft has horrible gameplay and graphics though.

>>1619239
The story in a video game would be a lot more meaningful than the story of porn since you're the one guiding the protagonist through the game (presumably).

I'd say that's a good reason to get more vested in the plot than the excuse they cook up to give context for why some chick is getting boned from behind and in the mouth.

What a fucking retard. What's the definition of looking good to you? I have the same opinion as the guy you quoted and I did play quite a few games just because I thought they looked gorgeous from a screenshot or whatever.

These include Shantae, and Bucky O' Hare on the NES to name a few. Fucking beautiful sprites.

>>1615098
Do you collect loose cib or both? I can't ever find cib I have a large loose cart gb, gba and gba collection

>>1615098
Great Greed.
Obscure Rpg with a different control style.

>>1616796
Never saw myself bothering with shadowgate until I borrowed this from a friend.

>>1615098
Wasn't it "playing videogames for the story is like watching porn for the story"? And didn't Carmack love nice grafix? What a strange image.

>>1619047
I get where you're coming from. I recently watched a movie because I'm a fan of the actor in it. But when I talked to my friends after the movie, they didn't all talk about how great this actor is, they talked about the plot and other things I don't care about. It's really frustrating when I see people who are so autistic that they can't share the same the exact motives as me.

Is pokemon pinball my friend dislikes it, so much that he bought it and gave it to me
