/vr/ - Retro Games

>>2157032

you're doing God's work, anon

I miss these threads. I think /vr/ is too underage for it now. I mean most posters here probably were too young when it was on air. I'm a canadian so I had to settle for nicholas picklas on video and arcade top 10

>>2157261
>I mean most posters here probably were too young when it was on air.
I know we have been getting a lot of 6th gen garbage lately but you think so?
There's a ton of 3rd world posters too so that may be it.

I remember all these kids where fucking AWFUL at video games.

>>2157261
Man I don't know why but I always found video and arcade top 10 to be so depressing, even as a little shit growing up in Canada.

All those mongoloid children, those god-awful prizes, those poor adults pretending to give a shit about anything - I just don't know man...

>>2157285
I wanted to be on this show so bad just so I could not suck at the games like they did.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seAyeYBNijA

I always wanted to do that live thing at the end as a kid, but of course i was disappointed when i found out it was just a green screen a some tiny tvs

I loved this show! You could always tell who the rich kids where if the first selection was something on the Neogeo and they where good at it.

>>2157464
Or maybe they just played them at the local arcade, since the Neo-Geo is primarily an arcade system.

>>2157486
>arcade system

>>2157284

>I know we have been getting a lot of 6th gen garbage lately but you think so?

Not the Anon you're responding to, but I could see this being the explanation for why we're seeing so many GBA shitters lately trying to get it included in as 'Retro'

And as much as I'm sure many of us may not like it, but we're also getting younger people interested in /vr/ simply because of the retro craze.

Obligatory.

When I was younger watching this show I had no idea how they did the final round "INSIDE THE VIDEO GAME!"...watching it now, it's pretty obviously they're just in front of a green screen, but back then I thought they were literally IN a game and wanted to go on that show more than anything so I could finally see what it's like to be in a game

This is what we had in Britain

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIrk-qAM_1s..

What was the name of that one game show where at the end the kid got to run through that maze grabbing as many games as they could?

Was my fucking childhood dream to get on that show one day.

>>2157654
This show taught me that all children are retarded. If I was on this show I would probably be even more retarded under pressure.

>>2157654
fucking nadine get it together you think this is a game?

>>2157032
What I've always been a bit curious about is if those pre-round games ever made their way online. According to the credits they were made by Psygnosis I believe.

>>2157654
Funny to see that most of the characters in the movie themed flash frame were from horror film.

>>2157654

To be fair to that one kid Freddie basically IS the protagonist in Nightmare. I don't even remember the girls name

>>2157654

Why the fuck would a kid know what Misery is?

>>2157861
Well since this is after the Misery film adaptation I guess they assumed there'd be a certain amount of kids would know about it.

>>2157876

It was rated R by the MPAA. Plus it doesn't really seem like the kind of movie a kid would want to see anyways

>>2157861
I read Misery when I was in like... 3rd grade? It was also made into a very popular movie which is where most people knew it from.

>>2157882
>rated R

Oh, wow, that changes everything. Except it was aired on broadcast television many times with the bloody bits edited out.

>>2157654

Holy fucking Christ the patience on that host is amazing.

Id have throttled everyone involved in this and then killed myself. Wonder what he's doing now

>>2157654
How did he not get the lone rangers horse. I haven't even ever watch the show and I know its silver. HI HO SILVER AWAY.

>>2157560
Yes, that's what his post said!

I want to bust my nickeloadeon all over Nikki's face, if you catch my drift. I mean I want to fuck her. Brutally.

>>2157989
I would say you're a pedo but she's probably in her 40s now, you could totally hit that.

>>2157997
Dem titties look legal enough to me.

>>2157989
I used to watch the shit out of this and Legend of the Hidden Temple. They used to give away Sega & N64 as grand prizes.

Were there any period appropriate shows that were actually about people being good at video games, or were they all this kiddie crap?

Phil Moore was a fucking annoying nigger. If he could have quit trying to be cute for the camera for five minutes maybe they wouldn't have run out of time and moved the little dude to the end in every single episode. We also might have gotten to see more than half of the video games. Also IIRC this is one of those games where the final question was worth so many points as to basically make everything else pointless. Starcade was much better.

Wizard levels managed to be cool though. Kinect version when?

>>2158035
I can only give a UK perspective but it was either kids playing games and being terrible (games world) or kids playing games, being terrible and then being mocked (gamesmaster)

Otherwise there were review/news shows for kids like bad influence (presenter violet berlin appeared in micro machines if there are any fans here) or you had Bits on channel 4 aimed at teenagers and presented by passable woman who actually knew her shit, cute woman and vampish woman whose regular job is getting her tits out in b-movies.

>>2158093
I bet you loved game network didnt ya?

>>2157768
that organ, that grand hall, that smoke machine. I like it.

>>2158007
The worst was when Legends gave away Watara Supervisions. No kid would look at that and say they didn't instead want a game boy.

>>2157989
She did look like she'd become pretty hot in the 90s, especially if you're into 'mature-looking' women for lack of a better term. It's the face structure and eyebrows that do it I think.

>>2157261
Or some posters never got to see this show.
Because we're foreign

>>2157261
I didn't watch it when it was new, but I saw it on Nick GAS back when it was around (games and sports, was an extra channel where they funneled all their game shows and rocket power). I was maybe 10 when I used to watch it consistently, so I'd say I was at least brothers in spirit with folks who watched it when the show was new.

>>2157787
no, the show you're thinking of was "video power." the velcro suit game grab deal at the end was everything i wanted in life back then.

>>2157284
>implying america isnt slowly turning 3rd world

Try looking up the definition of third world sometime. It's probably not what you think it is.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2fxsl_cIgA

Which version is better, /vr/?

>>2157261
I'm 35 now, 12/13 when I was watching it and thought this show was shit then. I still think it is shit now. I'd much rather have had more cartoons. (especially since Nick was giving us awesome shit like Ren & Stimpy at the time)

I also hated/hate the movie The Wizard. Live-action shows about videogames were shit.

>>2157989
This is now a Nikki thread

>>2157768
Why did they make Peter Moore the Games Master anyways? He never even touched a computer

Is this what I get after encountering one temple guard and perfectly assembling the silver monkey statue?

>>2158591
Haha, holy shit, did that bitch just orgasm all over national television?

>>2158447
>Ren and stimpy in the childrens time slot
You may be 35 but you really are a dumb mother fucker. That time slot would have been filled with spongebob, angry beavers, hey arnold or some other "classic" nickelodeon cartoon.

>>2158447
>I also hated/hate the movie The Wizard

opinion discarded

>>2158743
>spongebob, angry beavers, hey arnold or some other "classic" nickelodeon cartoon.

>in 1992

Nope. And Nick really did try to sell R&S as a kids cartoon in 91/92, airing it in the same late-afternoon hours as they would Nick Arcade. As a 12/13 yearold it was perfect for me. Hell, I'd have loved some spongebob then too.

>>2158748
That shit was nothing like the actual experience of being an 80s nintendo kid and you know it.

>>2158817
Your opinion has already been discarded. Nobody is going to read your posts.

>>2158823
But you just did.

The Wizard was almost as corny as Captain N.

>>2157448
I just feel bad for her. It makes her look dumb but when you're back there swatting at something in mid-air that doesn't even exist how are you supposed to know if you got it? Looking to the side at the TV screens has got to be disorienting as hell, plus god knows how big they were, maybe she couldn't see the details well enough to know what was hitting her. And speaking of that hit detection is fucked.

>>2158447
>Live-action shows about videogames were shit.

Look buddy, I still enjoy watching the Super Mario Bros. Super Show. Even back in its heyday I knew the live action scenes were "so bad, they're good" quality.

>>2157654
this hurts to watch.
HOW CAN YOU BE THIS BAD AT ACTRAISER

>>2157887
It's still not the kind of movie a 10 year old would be inclined to watch.

>>2158828
The Wizard was corny, but it was also endearing and had many "so bad it's good" moments that make it fun to watch even though it's objectively a bad film. Captain N...well yeah that one is pretty crappy to go back to. SMB Super Show and The Legend of Zelda cartoon were fun though (again, terrible, but still fun).

>>2157997
>titties that big
>pedo

I don't think you know what that word means.

>>2158836
420blazit

>>2157424
They only took people who sucked for a reason.

>>2158882
You don't need to be high to enjoy the surreal absurdity of the forced humor on SMBSS. I kid you not, I marathoned the entire series with a couple friends, stone cold sober, over a period of about a week last summer and we're all over 30.

>>2158891
Kids were chosen from the audience who showed up, probably based on their looks - and they didn't know each other. I went and saw it taped at Nickelodeon Studios. Guts and Legends of the Hidden Temple were much much more impressive. Arcade was a shitty little studio.

>>2158905

>>2158916
rip fun. nick sure is shit now.

>>2158916
Man, that's so sobering, Realizing that the cultural monolith for 80s./90s kids that was Nickelodeon can just be erased like that.

>that one really retarded black girl that was on there

Also, I remember that there used to be a Nick Arcade SynchTube for a while, but that was like 3 years ago. Maybe 4.

>>2158916
>the slime fountain got bulldozed
>they will never dig up the time capsule

The good times are over friends.

wow

jeremy needs two hands to keep his boner under control

>>2158934
Clarissa was on fox news crying about how neocons get bashed on Twitter

>>2158981
Well, they do. Everyone does. It's Twitter. People need to quit whining about it though and grow some balls.

>>2158916

>>2158947
nikki sixxy.

She's mid thirties right now, easily.

>>2158089
I'm a pretty big racist and I thought Phil Moore was fantastic. He just rolled with all the retarded shit those kids did.

>>2158916
At least the Blue Man Group owns it.

>>2159043
Are you kidding me? He wastes SO much time clowning around unfunnily. What kind of nigger can't even clown around right? If they had had the guy who hosted, say, Figure It Out on there it would have been so much better.

>>2159024
Nikki will always be 13 in my imagination while I masturbate to her furiously

>>2158995
Nick, CN and Disney are all dying of cancer these days. I would hate to see a video game related show on any of those networks.

>>2159069

>>2158947
Why is Jeremy so bad at video games when he has 6 fingers?

>>2158947
>>2159073
Not going to lie, I thought you were a pedo at first too, but god damn the ass was fat

>>2159068

>>2157032
anyone remember video power?

>>2159138
That's in 2012.

Also, I don't see why you would need to "sneak in" since it's currently used by the Blue Man Group.

>>2159215
I'm guessing there's probably various areas that they try to restrict access to.

>>2157654

billy was bretty cool

>>2159068
>guy

And summer sanders was a terrible host. There's being business-like about the game show time, and then there's clearly not wanting to be there.

>>2158947
damn

>>2159260
I think that anon might be referring to that co-host guy, Jeffrey "J" Dumas I believe, who'd usually introduce the show, secret slime word, prizes, and other things.

>>2159114
holy fuck even if you aren't into the humor the first 20 seconds of that video is too good, and fuck monica I would love to nail her way hotter than nikki.

>>2159291
>fuck monica I would love to nail her way hotter than nikki

Wow, you have shit taste. How the fuck does this trainwreck even compare to >>2159073

>>2159329
nikki looks like a bitch, monica looks too dumb to even know Im raping her. Plus you can make nikki look bad too>>2158591 you tried too hard to take that shitty screenshot

>>2159337
Nikki is a fucking angel you stupid cunt there's nothing bad about that picture at all she's just being flirty Monica is disgusting that was the first frame I stopped on with her in it that's literally how she always looks

>>2157997
She died about 2 weeks after filming that, so probably couldn't hit it unless you're into skeletons.

>>2159435
>She died about 2 weeks after filming that
What?

>>2159443
She was pretty sick when she went on the show. She was diagnosed about a year before that. Her dad pulled her out of school and was driving her all over the country because he wanted her to see everything before she died.

>>2159532
Is it hard to make up shit like this?

>>2159532
now things are getting interesting.

>>2159537
I could see why you'd think that, but it's true. We went to the same middle school in Georgia and our dads were coworkers so we kind of knew each other. Don't really care if you believe me or not. She was kind of spoiled and bitchy, anyways.

>>2159557
She wouldn't be so spoiled and bitchy once I rammed my dick down her throat

>>2159557
I knew she looked like a bitch!

>>2159260
Goddamn I love me some Summer

>>2159537
No, it's pretty easy.

>>2157654
>FIFTY-EIGHT?!

>>2159138
Pretty cool to see all that stuff but damn, his presentation of it is obnoxious. Talk normal for fucks sake.

>>2162801
The worst part is where I see a big mural wall of Powdered Toast Man and I'm like 'FUCK YEAH POWDERED-TOAST MAN' (I'm a huge Ren and Stimpy fan) and this fuck on the video grates in a constipated cum-gargling faggot voice 'Remember to subscribe to adamatewoo!'

Yeah, your mom subscribes to my dick, faggot.

>>2159138
>Adamthwoo


Wish that someone who actually knows how to shoot proper footage snuck in, this guy's a fucking fag.

>>2157997
She appears adolescent...

So he's not a pedophile, no matter how much you want your hate-crime buzzword to apply. It makes him an Ephebiophile.

Not entirely related since it seems they played actual games on that show, but I think it's obligatory, Starcade.

Things were different. When I was 10 in the 90s I was renting every 80s slasher film I could get at Blockbuster and watching them with my friends. A lot of kids thought it was cool to watch "grown up movies," especially if they had a teenage sibling.

Now, I can't see what exactly you're responding to because I don't want to run down my finite data allowance on my Jewish satellite ISP, but I was aware of the film Misery when I was 10.

>>2164638
Mate, she's got tits. She's obviously hit puberty.

>>2157882
>>2157861
I watched it in school. We wrote an assay about it.

>>2164678
it was the 80s puberty hadn't been invented yet

>>2164723
Mmmm...the 80's. When a PG-13 rating ment a bit of blood, some cursing and adult situations.

>>2164751
You can thank liberals and feminists for fixing that

>>2164638
Can't stand all the pedoshit on /tv/... it's like /b/ teh third...

>>2164795
You should probably leave 4chan altogether. I hear reddit and tumblr are nice.

>>2164751
PG-13 became a rating in 1984. Early 80s PG films could have swearing, violence, and nudity because it was either that or R.
