That would be platformer. Perhaps very loosely action, but definitely not adventure.

Sure, although it's as much of an rpg as it is a/a. In what category(ies) you decide to put it as favorite also tells a story.

8 Bit on console, but I like Apple II text adventures.
> social standing then and now: did you have a lot of/any friends, gfs, etc
Some friends IRL, some friends online. All of them have liked videogames since back in the day.
> favorite platformer
Not much of a fan now, for pure platformers for the sake of platforming, probably Super Mario World.
> favorite rpg
It's my favorite genre (almost exclusively japanese ones) and I love so many of them to bits that it's very tough to pick one. I can play even the shitty ones no problem. To name a few I really like, the original SaGa/FFL, the first Lufia, and Parasite Eve, most FF games.
I've also been playing an italian MUD for over 15 years, so I guess there's that.
> favorite action/adventure
For retro, it's a split between Seiken DensetsuFFA/MQ, A Link to the Past, and Illusion of Gaia. To be quite honest, tho, I love A Link Between Worlds as much as I love A Link to the Past, if not more.
> favorite racing
I don't really like racing games, so it's a split between original Super Mario Kart, original F-Zero, and the first Gran Turismo, which are the only ones I actually enjoyed playing.

Don't really like them, I guess Duke Nukem 3D or Quake.

Resident Evil 4 or Far Cry 3

Doom or Half-Life, both for being solid core games and endless mod content. Also Duke Nukem 3D is tits.

Stargate or True Lies, or Goldeneye. None is flawless but they're surprisingly great for what they are, one is even published by LJN, which is a shocker.

Oh right, I fucking love the talkie version of Fate Of Atlantis, very fond childhood favorite.

I suppose I also love SimCity 2000 and 3000.

You mean like Starcraft? I can't think of any I was ever into. Civ is ok.

> what do you think of this board
It's ok. It has more games being discussed that I care about than /v/ and while retro gaming as a hobby is plagued with people who only care about Nintendo, most people here seem to have broad tastes. We do suffer from having the same threads over and over but I am not creative enough to help fix that, and I suppose repetition is to be expected in this kind of situation.

>minimal generation you are willing to go
Any, but I seldom spend more than 30 minutes on anything pre-NES console-wise or pre-1985ish as far as PCs go.
>social standing then and now: did you have a lot of/any friends, gfs, etc
I didn't have a girlfriend until I was 19, which was also the year I lost my virginity, started drinking, etc. I haven't had a girlfriend for about a year now, but I'm not actively looking, so whatever. I was kind of a nerd but had some friends as a kid. Now I actually have some really good friends and am fairly popular, but I'm also a grad student and so are most of the people I hang out with.

>>3293874
>wasn't sonic the shit all the way in brazil? didn't they used to have their own genesis console or something

Yes Sonic was very popular in Brazil, but in regard of Brazil have their own genesis console I never heard about that.

>>3293886
Not saying it's a spoof or anything, but wouldn't Terranigma be fall into the clone thing? Although I have to admit, I can't say I've ever seen a straight clone.

>>3293952
Well, it's one of the few I played and liked, mostly for the story and the atmosphere. But as a rule, I am not a fan of Zeldas and japanese ARPGs. Dunno why. Just not my cup of tea.

>>3293957
Fair enough, I was just curious on that statement. I have to say, at least Terranigma is a game with a very good plot underlying. Have you tried Illusion of Gaia?

Second.generation, at least for the arcade scene. Didn't care for early home consoles like the 2600, but the arcades had some of the most breakthrough classics, like Millipede, Frogger and Gauntlet. I still emulate a lot of these games.

>social standing
I didn't have that many friends growing up. Seems a lot of other guys at the time were more into sports, fighting, FPS and racing. I can occasionally get into FPS and racing, but I can't invest enough time and attention into these games to keep up with my friends.

As for dating, had a few boyfriends over the years, although nothing too serious. Kind of hard to date when you're stuck in a community with a small-town mentality. I don't think any of the guys I've dated were into gaming at all.

>favorite platformer
Either Yoshi's Island or Spyro 2. It would be hard to pick one over the other.

>favorite RPG
Good question, because RPGs encompass most of my library. If compilations are acceptable, then I'll say Final Fantasy Origins. FF1 has so much replayability with its different challenges and class combinations, and I think I'm one of the few guys who actually enjoyed FF2.

Non-retro: Fallout New Vegas

>favorite action / adventure
I'll say Tomb Raider II. When it first came out, it was (mechanically) such a vast improvement over the first game, and it seemed like the level design was balanced specifically for veterans of TR1.

>favorite racing
Ridge Racer Type-4. R4 was a graphical feat at the time, because most PS1 racers were low-poly and were plagued by issues like "pop-up" environments, whereas R4 was basically a proto-PS2 game.

I've also heard good things about Vanishing Point.

I've been coming here since /vr/ first started and it's been pretty consistent. I've discovered a lot of great stuff from threads on here. The discussion is (by nature) kind of redundant, but it's kind of entertaining how that causes a common opinion to gradually reduce to a parody of itself and then finally to a meme no one really pays attention to anymore.

I wouldn't be opposed to gradually extending the retro cutoff, if only for the sake of discussion.

Not OP, but a question:

What genre can't get into, and do you wish you could?

>>3298931
I'm really bad at strategy games usually, which is a shame, because I love a lot of them, Starcraft is a dear part of my childhood, but I could never fucking play it without cheats, likewise for Warcraft 2, huge scrub on RTS, I can just barely scrape by in Age Of Empires 2 legit, and that's because AOE2 has a babby difficulty setting.

I'm a little better at turn based strategy, I can do pretty alright in Shining Force, and you could argue that there's some strategy to Heroes 3, I'm not TOO shabby at that, but games like Advance Wars, it's hopeless after a certain point, the CPU just always wipes the floor with me on certain missions, no matter what.

I think I'm just naturally suited better for FPS and third person action.

>>3298931
A lot of my guy friends play a lot of what's better that year between Fifa and PES, but I'm utter shit at it and strategizing. They actually seem pretty good games in general, and from what I gather, there are modes that are, both online and offline, basically RPGs where your battles are the soccer games. They seem pretty entertaining and deep games, but for me, trying to play them is like trying to play, say, Dwarf Fortress blind.

Also I kinda enjoy FPSs but I'm utterly shit at them in most modes or roles, mainly because I suck at aiming. The only one where I actually felt I could be competitive with anyone was Goldeneye, I could snipe people from across maps with the grenade launcher in that game.

That sews discord unnecessarily.

Sim City for SNES is the comfiest game of all time. Star Control 2 is a great space stumble. FFT is the best Turn-based Strategy. Play The Journeyman Project at least once in your life. Riven is cool. Smash Bros best fighter ever.

Haven't you read the global rules? 4chan is an 18+ site. Merely announcing that you're underage (on any board) results in a permanent ban.

Just because we have blue boards doesn't mean those boards are open to underage audiences. The boards are marked for worksafe and non-worksafe content. But a lot of good that does since there are shitty hentai ads everywhere.

Well, I was a young child then. Back when I was a regular gamer though (from birth up to around age 18) I was your generic socially awkward weirdo super nerd. I'm doing pretty well for myself though now. Ended up becoming a ridicuously extroverted, arguably quite talented, and relatively intelligent adult who most people I meet usually like and enjoy hanging out with.

It was a place for mellow headed (in comparison to the rest of 4chan) older users to talk about their nostalgia, or simply the games themselves.

See, freedom is about doing what you want to do in life, but at the same time, freedom also hinges on you not being a victim or making others victims, you don't have the freedom to take away someone's freedom, because otherwise you're not free.

There can be some great discussions on here, certainly more than /v/, but overall people have gotten a lot more confrontational on here over opinions after the past few years, much like most of the boards. That, and people get baited far too easily. There's no need to respond to obvious trolls, its what they want you to do, but so many topics get ruined by people not understanding this.

It's alright. Better than /v/ by any stretch. The shitposts can be a bit much during the summer, but the efforts of people who try to start meaningful discussions, and being able to discover new games or things you never knew about the games you love, make it all worthwhile.

It was amazing when it started out, and when the Dreamcast was allowed to be retro, it helped to make this board a bit more broader and less shitposting about "b-b-b-but it's not retro". I frequented it in 2014 and occasionally in 2015 These days when I do come back to browse, it feels like there is a lot more shitposting and I'm assuming /v/ has leaked in because they're tired of shitposting on /v/ and want something new to try related to video games.

It's still a great board.

Honestly, /vr/ has never been that great. There's either too little or too much moderation, so you have your choice of being banned for arbitrary reasons, or having to wade through shitposting to find any serious discussion. I'm one of the more regular posters on this board who tries to push on-topic discussions as much as possible, but even I've been banned as a result of the retarded over-moderation we had just months ago. There were a few times I gave up on the board.and moved on to other things. I rarely bother to post here anymore.

Well, >>3293507 here, I do genuinely think SMB2 USA is a good game, I think it's unfairly shat upon sometimes for being retooled from another game (which was designed kind of like a quasi Mario game anyway)

>>3315508
Personally I liked it and I think it's a great game, with nothing in particular that stands out as a bad mechanic either, and for sure, I played it to death. I just don't feel it's the one platformer that comes to my mind when I have to think of a favorite. I have to say that having 4 playable characters does make the game pretty fresh to play, the way you tackle levels is often completely different. Also, I like that you can do a lot of stupid shit in it moving around blocks and whatnot.

To be honest, tho, platformer is kind of a weird genre. There's a fine line between platformer, run and gun, and action/adventure and sometimes ARPG or Metroidvania.

For example there's an awful lot of platforming in the original Metroid or Kid Icarus.

>>3317014
How is Kid Icarus not a platformer, though?

>>3317108

It is a platformer game, albeit with minor RPG mechanics thrown in.

Metroid is action-adventure though. Action-adventure games usually certainly contain platforming elements, but also have adventure elements like collecting key items (or power-ups) to advance to new areas.

>>3317127
>RPG elements
I'll never get why people throw this term around. It tells you nothing of the style of game at all. SMB2US, Magical Chase and 720° all have RPG elements and they're three fantastic games from three completely different genres.

I'd consider Kid Icarus a platformer, but it's also kind of like a run and gun (you're almost always shooting incoming enemies) game and it has some stages right out of action-adventure/Metroidvania games and a final stage that's a shoot'em up stage (then again so does Super Mario Land).

Run-n-gun is just a subtype of platformer, no?
Ya can't be RnG without being a platformer, too.

Think of it like taxonomy: 'platformer' is the order which is then broken down in the 2d and 3d families while 2d is further broken down into single screen or scrolling subfamilies and scrolling broken down even further into the action/adventure, run-n-gun, puzzle platformer etc tribes which might then even be broken down into genus and species (which, for the sake of this analogy, genus would be a particular series or engine and species would be a specific game in that series/running on that engine itself).

I'll play anything, but I won't commit to anything that came before Nintendo Entertainment System, and I haven't bought a 'new' console since my 360 crashed back in 2010.

> social standing then and now: did you have a lot of/any friends, gfs, etc

I made friends easily in elementary school. I had some trouble in middle school, but still had friendships, and that situation played out pretty much the same into high school. Once I got to college I had a few girlfriends and some friends I hung out with every day. My life pretty much barrelled out when I turned 25 though, and I haven't been cool since.
