/vr/ - Retro Games

Yeah, probably Doom.
There's even been IRL Paintball versions.

Either Tetris or Pong.
Doom requires a bit too much resources to run on something like a Commodore Pet. But Tetris runs just fine on it. Hell, there's even Tetris for various calculators.
I've even played Tetris on a DTV receiver.

>>1792036
Does Tetris really count though? The basic game is on everything, yes, but they're often different versions, where Doom is the same game just on different platforms. I figure I've seen the exact same Doom on an iPod that I've seen on a PC, and that's not something you can really say about Tetris.

Dragon's Lair

It's Tetris, ya numbnuts.

>>1792047
Most early Dragon's Lair ports have nothing to do with the arcade game, besides the story.

>>1792056
That's a given when the game predominantly relied on LD video. I guess the question is what defines a port.
Simple games like Tetris or Pong have a lot of clones but not many licensed releases. Doom has a lot of source ports that make it hard to count.

>>1792051
Chess

>>1792026
pong or Pac Man

>>1792026
I'm so fucking glad most of those fucking ports are gone forever. Except for the keyboard's PS/2.

>>1792160
USB, ethernet, VGA and the 3.5mm audio ports are still in common use.

>>1792026
>Serial port (dial-up modem)
>not using a PCI Dial-up Modem
Other things made use of that port.

Official copyrighted game... Doom
Unofficial and if you count clones... Doom, kek

ITT: People who do not know the definition of the "Port"

>>1792196
Tetris is the official world record holder for the most ported game.

>>1792194
Even Double Dragon has more official ports than Doom.

>>1792167
That's why he said "most."
Can you not into reading comprehension, or something?
>yfw USB is finally getting phased out.

>>1792220
Four (serial, parallel, game port, mouse) out of 8/12 aren't most.

>>1792220
Are you fucking kidding me? The USB is far from being phased out. The big and new consoles feature it like its breaking edge, computer companies don't even put PS/2 ports on a fucking computer any more because they expect you to use all the membrane USB keyboards and mouses on the market, which do not come with PS/2 male ports. I am still surprised that VGA is still embedded in many stock computers anymore given the buzzword fueled HDMI among other big name plugs boasting better performance clouding the market right now.

>>1792238
>tinfoil hat

>>1792238
While you're correct, he is also technically correct.
There are plans in the works for USB 3.1 to adopt a new type of connector (USB Type-C) that will replace the USB and Micro USB. It will be smaller, it will be reversable, and it will not be backwards compatible with the old formats.

>>1792250
You are using bad memes wrong.

>>1792254
Really? Who is working on this?

>>1792254
>There are plans in the works for USB 3.1 to adopt a new type of connector (USB Type-C) that will replace the USB and Micro USB. It will be smaller, it will be reversable, and it will not be backwards compatible with the old formats.

What the fuck are they smoking? That's the worst idea I've ever heard of and I'm calling b8 unless you can provide a source.

>>1792238
>computer companies don't even put PS/2 ports on a fucking computer
except for every single budget computer.
just because you only buy gaming motherboards doesn't mean other options don't exist.

It's kind of old news.

>>1792267
>the cable that will end your frustrations

The fact that there are people too retarded to use USB properly is very alarming, someday we'll have plugs made of fucking nerf or something.

>>1792026
Tetris
Rayman 2

>>1792238
VGA is literally unkillable.

>>1792026

Dopewars/Drugwars, with Tetris close behind.

>>1792042
Regardless if it looks the same, it's not a byte-for-byte exact version. The WADS are the same, and that's about it.

>>1792238
VGA will be "officially" phased out in 2015.

>>1792316
I heard it's because of video projectors but you could just put a DVI-I/II port on the box instead since it contains the analog VGA signal.

>>1792318
Oh for god's sake you cannot have byte-exact and a port.

>>1792036
There is a zx spectrum version of doom it looks shit but it exists

>>1792371
at least post a pic so we can all enjoy it

>>1792042
>where Doom is the same game just on different platforms.

By those standards you'd lose quite a few doom ports. Like every single console version which isn't the same basic game.

>>1792238
VGA is still on all stock computers because a shit load of monitors still have VGA only input (no dvi!). It's retarded.

>>1792036
Doom been ported for sinclaire spectrium

Unofficial but so are most ports like pong

>>1792318
>WADS are the same.
Some of the ports did change level geometry in places.

>>1792318
i thought i was the onlyone playing this... i did it on MS-DOS

>>1792516
I wouldn't consider Doom for the ZX Spectrum to be even remotely close to a port.

>>1792026

SimCity is a good candidate.

>>1792373
Reminds me of the Ti 83 version.

>>1792026
Probably the classic Star Trek text game. It's been ported to so many mainframes, minis, micros, every desktop OS ever made. A version has been done for many PDAs, feature and smart phones. It's been used as a demo for many different programming languages throughout the years. I even have a version for the Game Boy.

>>1792670
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuupoxmeQ6U

I would've failed high school if I knew of this.

Probably not the most ports, I just know it has a fuck ton. This game comes to mind.

>>1792238
>its breaking edge

It is, for consoles. Shitty proprietary interfaces have been standard for how many years?

It's good that they're stepping up and actually getting up to date with computer technology instead of being shit tier platforms. The newest generation of consoles are basically PCs now.

>computer companies don't even put PS/2 ports on a fucking computer any more

What the fuck? I can't imagine going out to buy a good motherboard and seeing that it doesn't have a PS/2 connector. Maybe in those shitty generic prebuilts they sell to random people.

>I am still surprised that VGA is still embedded in many stock computers anymore

So am I. Why the fuck does it still exist?

>>1792254
>it will not be backwards compatible with the old formats

Welp. Good fucking luck. At least it's not from Apple.

>>1793485
The PS2 had a USB port. It's hardly news for consoles. The Xbox used malformed USB for its controllers but then again it was basically a PC back then as well.

>>1792274
How can you possibly be stupid enough to not be able to use USB?

>try to plug cable in
>doesn't go in
>flip it
>it goes in

It's just trying to copy Apple's reversible plug innovation. Because that's enough reason to introduce an entire new connector interface.

>>1792373
>those sunglasses

>>1793490
>character encodings

Retards still trying to make more? There is only one valid encoding: UTF-8. Everything else is just retarded.

Fuck the Japanese and their shitty Shift JIS.

>>1792212

that's such a cool source you posted there, pal

>>1793501

>>1792207
In what book, and by what standards did they arrive at that conclusion?

>>1793608
Guinness World Records.

The original Tetris as designed by Alexey Pajitnov appears on over sixty different platforms, far more than Mario or Doom or Pac-Man or Pong.

>>1792321

You have a source on that claim?

Analog RGB/VGA still seems to be extremely common in monitor interfaces last I checked.

Hell, it's probably even more common in TVs now than actual desktop monitors, even with all the HDMI adaptation that's going on.

>>1793896

So I suppose that's [/thread] then, right?

What about Solitaire?

>>1793485
I use a VGA monitor I had lying around because my newer one broke.

Wasnt rayman 1 and especially 2 ported everywhere?

>>1792238
Why should I use HDMI or DVI when VGA works just as well, all cables give me 1080p.

There's a version of Tetris for the Wii U. There isn't a version of Doom for the Wii U (in fact, I think there were only two Doom games for Nintendo consoles). So Tetris wins.

>>1792036
I played Wolfenstein 3D on a TI-83 back in high school. It was pretty bad for obvious reasons, but it worked.

In conclusion,
Official ports: Tetris.
Unofficial ports: Pong.
There's like a hundred different pieces of hardware out there which only play Pong.

Intel and AMD are the driving force behind it.

>>1792026
Tetris, without any doubt.

Donkey Kong, Doom, Pac-Man, Double Dragon
