/vr/ - Retro Games

I actually have a chance to post all of my retro images because of how awesome /vr/ is

I love you guys! Mwa!

>>3523980
>>3523981
Lewd

There an updated version of this?

>>3523964
if he was wearing a grey zentai it might be good

>>3524008
wow, the crash was real

>>3523964

SOMEBODY GET THIS FREAKIN' DUCK AWAY FROM ME!

>>3523963

Anyone have the animated gif of this?

>>3524997
Surely you have an opportunity to post that on an hourly basis here on /vr/.

>>3523971

>>3525114
This image is such bullshit.

>>3524063
Come on fhqwgads!!

>>3526506
>saving anything drawn by B^Uckley

>>3523963

A for effort, but you'd always have to stand afront of it or sit on a stool, not sure if that is so comfy playing for a while... but I bet he was the coolest nerd back in the day

>>3527229
>standing to play video games is uncomfortable

how fat are you?

>>3526836
Mmm yeah haha I love it when that happens

>>3527229
>Doesn't know playing standing up is an enjoyable thing people have been doing for at least 100 years.

>>3523963

>>3523963
That thing is awesome. I wonder if they ever painted or stained it.

>>3524008
I like how the consumer gaming finally beat arcade revenue in the middle of 95 exactly the start of the rise of the ps1.

>>3528573
It was also right after the arcade crash.

>>3524008
Rise in arcade revenue 1991-2 based on SF2/MK?

>>3525114
But how do they explain the Famicom releasing in 1983 alongside the SG-1000?

>>3528502

Here's the finished version, I remember reading a webpage several years ago which covered its history and how it was made. It included a full paintjob, pads to rest your arms on while you played, cup holders on the sides, and even some original Mario and Zelda artwork painted on for the marquee and bezel. Unfortunately, it seems that page has been lost, or at least it isn't where I used to find it (which was on BYOAC's Cabinet Hall of Fame).

If anyone can find the old page then I'd love to read it again, the finished product was really cool.

>>3528796
sorry for misleading text, meant to post a pic but I couldn't find it.

>>3528797
Scratch that, found the page on wayback machine

>>3528229
Holy shit, I remember this movie. Jubilee's playing virtua fighter and she zaps the machine and the arcade owner is all like "do you know how much that game costs?!" and she just says "a quarter". The 90s tude cringe was in full effect.

>>3528874
nigga wtf are you talking about

>>3528883
The movie that gif was made from, obviously

>>3528802
Haha nice! Looks pretty awesome.

>>3528896
Isn't channel 3 what most American TVs used when you used an RF input?

>>3529038
It's what I use, but only because it's slightly faster to go to if you don't have the remote and are still on composite/component inputs vs. going to channel 4.

>>3528787
Simply move the Coleco, 5200, and SG-1000 into the 3rd Gen with the NES.

Early NES games without mapper chips did not look too different than Coleco games.

>>3528796
>>3528797
>>3528802
That's pretty awesome, dude. Thanks for posting that.

>>3529874
yeah but then you have the NES later competing with the 7800, Master System, and even Genesis at the end.

What they really ought to do is map out when a system came out, when it stopped being supported, and what its main competitors were, since you clearly need more than a simple staircase format to categorize the systems effectively.

>>3529161
I've always used 3 myself is there any difference?

>>3530243
it can get interference depending on your location I think. Not sure my dad was an a/v geek and I've never used rf for anything but catv.

this is just some random asshole's opinion, I didn't make this

>>3523963

is that kid wearing lipstick or his suffering hypothermia

>>3528762
Why are white people being persecuted by the clan?

>>3530815
>no galaga

I'm genuinely sad.

>>3533037
Galaga is actually on that chart.

>>3528858
Mario and Yoshi was such a terrible misleading name for that game as a kid. I was expecting something good.

>>3524063

>>3524063

I don't get it

>>3525353

>>3533034

>>3524008
Will we ever reach 1982 totals again???!??!?

>>3526517
That thing must get destroyed.

>>3523963
Really? 'Cause I've seen that before.

>>3534846

>>3524008
Japanese version of that.

If there are updated versions of either of these I'm sure everyone in the thread would love to see them.

>>3528373
this made me cry a little

>>3535030
It would be more interesting to see the chart in yen, with and without deflation adjustment.

>>3528373
For anyone wondering, these are the sprites from the unfinished Garou Mark of the Wolves 2 that got cancelled when SNK went bankrupt back in the day.

>>3538249
lewd!

What the hell happened to overseas exports in the mid to late 2000's? That's cant be the Wii by itself can it?

>>3538530
Huh, for some reason I'd thought the 3DO was pricier than the NeoGeo when inflation adjusted?

>>3540929
Wii + DS = most hardware ever sold by a single company in one generation

Add PS3 to that (and the relatively few PSP sales outside of Japan) and you've got LUDICROUS 7th generation export sales.

>>3539787

>>3538530
the currency devaluation was real

Also fun fact: this gif is over 32 times larger in file size than the game it depicts

>>3523963
>monitor is too low and not angled properly for standing
>too high for sitting
>games stored vertically
This is the absolute worst. It's a shame so much effort was put into doing everything completely wrong. You'd be better off with just a tv on the damn floor.

That chainsaw nigga's muscle game ain't no joke. His six pack goes all the way to his chest. He has muscles on his muscles

>>3538534
>Controller looks like letter "M"...maybe to remind americans a McDonald's

>>3545810
The dude has no skin. That's supposed to be his exposed muscle fibers.

>>3527858
Not him but I'm a fat fuck and even I didn't mind standing up in front of arcade machines for hours at a time back when there was still a decent arcade near where I live.

>>3546867
Anyone who doesn't stand at an arcade and isn't in Japan where sitting at machines is considered the norm is either morbidly obese or autistic.

>>3527858
well maybe he was born with a deformity in his legs that make it uncomfortable for him to stand for extended periods of time

i know i was

>>3523963
why the hell would you want to stand up while playing NES?

>>3549380
why the fuck would you not?

>>3523963

Living the dream, I wanted to do this with my TV and SNES. In retrospect, my dad was right in saying no. I would never be able to sit down and enjoy a game from my bed or just watch TV in a normal viewing angle.

It's a nice joystick really

>>3534883
>>3551819
I've played this and yes, its just as fun as it seems.

>>3523963
Kind of creative I guess, but I bet he ended up taking it apart after maybe a month tops upon realizing that the only part of the arcade experience that he really managed to replicate was having to constantly stand while playing, i.e., one of the worst parts.

>>3530815
I agree with this list a bunch.
would move a few of them around, but that's purely personal preference rather than it being a bad list

fuck, I wish I had a setup to play Mad Planets at home

>>3552332
>having to constantly stand while playing, i.e., one of the worst parts

how fat is /vr/?

>>3523979
This is what it looks like.

>>3524063

>>3555610
what in the fuck is that

>>3528887
I'm pretty sure that was also in the first episode of the X-Men 90's cartoon. Right?

There's a Doom thread which constantly gets bumped on /vr/ and I've never taken the opportunity to participate. I took the picture because it is true, but at the time I thought it was a good game, but it seems others really. like really, love the game more than I would.

Maybe one day I will read the thread and post the picture.

>>3551981
>that girl is wearing a Zelda shirt, she probably hasn't even played MM
That's something that would grind my gears as well in case it turned out to be true.
That's the mark of a hipster.

>>3557923
There are current Zelda games people are fans of. I have a Superman shirt and I have read next to no golden age, for example.

>>3557923
I'm fairly sure pretty much everyone who wears Zelda shirts doesn't know anything about the games.

>>3557496
This is incredible. Hands down the most amazing thing in the thread.

Thanks for posting it.

>>3557496
neat

Not hambeast, but you're fucking lying if you're saying you'd prefer standing or even sitting on a stool to chilling or even lying down on a comfy-ass couch.

Looks like Sonic.

Gee, I wonder why.

>>3528573
What caused the arcade crash in 1991?
Just the home console is not enough to explain it.

Is it just me or are 4chan images just straight up not working?

>>3537361
does this imply that postal 1 was too hardcore for /v/

>>3566334
This is really cool

>>3523968

>>3551761
I second the motion

anyone remember those contests advertised in different gaming mags where they offered a gaming rig and other prizes did anyone win

>>3566998
Home consoles got to where they were pretty damn close to being arcade like, at least way better than Colecovision's arcade like graphics. The rebound I'd attribute to SFII.

Though that dip does seems a bit extreme ... what does a chart not adjusted for inflation look like?

>>3567758

Something that caught my attention...

Something that's amazing...

i had an idea like this with a nes in a arcade cabinet with atvantage controllers

Jesus is like a neat Pokemon that doesn't need Revive. It's an ability he loses when he evolves to his father Arceus.

>>3573010
I thought mewthree was jesus?

>>3523963
somebody clearly gets a chance to post this as iv'e seen this same thread start with the same image.

Would you play /vr/?

>>3528802
This is pretty awesome, thanks for posting.

This is one of my favorite /vr/ gifs and it seems like I don't get to post it often enough.

>>3574556
y cant metroid crawl?

>>3574556
If she got there without using morph ball it means she had to wall jump out of the morph ball room. I find it hard to believe that someone would be able to wall jump but unable to press down on the dpad.

>>3574692
That's probably a correct assumption. But really, the best part of the gif is when she moves the entire pad upward like it's a motion controller.

>>3564603
That is 1990 Hatsune Miku?

>>3574692
Perhaps her imbecility should not be underestimated.

>>3569475

I don't think they thought this through.

Would be a sick final fantasy monster though.

Kari? She's still doing the porn but not porn thing.

>>3571297

>>3523972
>Airport
I'm going to intentionally imagine this is a videogame adaptation of the movie.

You play as the guy who has to move the 707 off the runway before the inbound jet arrives. All you do is manipulate the throttle back and forth until it moves. They promise in the sequel you actually get to land a damaged plane, but there never is a sequel thanks to the release of Airplane!

Mad Planets has indeed aged very well for such an early and lesser popular machine, it'd be one of my choices for a small home arcade if I had the space.

>>3545460
>>3561980

You could get all of those on Aliexpress for less than 50$...

>>3555603

>>3574994
>the best part of the gif is when she moves the entire pad upward like it's a motion controller.
My girlfriend does that as well sometimes when she's caught up in the heat of the moment.
I guess some people just do that instinctively, even if they know what they're doing is wrong.
Furthermore, I think that's why the wii motion controls caught on so well for a while.

It's from Video and Arcade Top 10. It was a competition but also a game preview show, and they had to show off the other levels of the game. If a kid got really stuck, they had someone off-camera advance them to a further stage. That's probably what happened here.

>>3583838
That fucking mod is ridiculous and beautiful.

I wish they made custom levels for it.

I remember being in elementary school and telling kids that you could shoot the dog in arcade Duckhunt. No one believed me and thought I was "that kid" who would make shit up about vidya because his uncle "works at Nintendo". But I wasn't lying, here's my proof faggots.

>>3593136
Well sure you can shoot it. It won't do a damn thing, but you can still shoot it.

>>3566998
It is just enough, Nintendo killed it on the home market and just released the SNES and Sega finally got shit together with the Mega Drive and basically made the arcade market obsolete to anyone but enthusiasts.

Games just got better and more accessible to play at home, who would want to go to an arcade and play about 10 minutes of a game when they had Marios and Sonics to play at home.
