/vr/ - Retro Games

>>3535208
LoZ link's awakening DX

not /vr/ I guess, but Luigi's Mansion.

Alternating between some Vampire Savior on the saturn and Yoshi's Island.

I finally got my work-related shit settled, so I decided to play the new D44M. I like it.

Playing Final Fight 2 for the first time
Got my tits handed to me by Rolent

Now that I can finally play MM9 and MM10, I'm replaying the entire classic Megaman series.

>>3535208
Gargoyle's Crest (SNES)
Final Fantasy V (SNES)
Adventure Island (NES)
Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves (DC)

Recent 100% victories:
Street Fighter Alpha 3 (DC)
Virtua Cop 2 (DC)
Crime Patrol 2: Drug Wars (3DO)
Space Pirates (3DO)

Next up is programming a homemade universal joystick.

>>3535328
Ayyy same here

Spyro year of the dragon and the 7th saga

Animal Crossing is the only /vr/ relevant game I am playing right now. I was playing Mother 1 and DKC1 but my Wii U's charger broke.

100% no warp good times

>>3535208
>Those were the days
>A fucking N64

Christ I'm old.

>>3535208

>>3535443
I already see people saying "those were the days" mentioning the GameCube on Facebook sometimes...

Playing the psx version of this game

lol Bloodborne. Not retro, but so good.

>>3535452
Stop stalking children on Facebook.

Just about to start final fantasy 7 for the first time

>>3535375
> Spyro year of the dragon

You good sir/mam, are a rare species on this earth.

>>3535452
>15 years since release

So a teen of 15 years would now be married and probably breeding a child, so it is accurate.

Currently playing DQ VII. I want to checkout classic RPGs. Next i will play Tactics Ogre or FF VII, not sure.

Just bought a snes because nostalgia and am playing through super metroid

Constantly grinding in dq3, stuck trying the dream cave but can't make it to the end without my damn wizard dying.
So I beat re2 scenarios a and b yesterday and today.

I'm curious to know if this is someone's art that got meme text added on, or if it always had the meme text.

>>3536067

The meme text got added.

Started playing Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny a few days ago. Pretty good.

If my good computer hadn't broken and I wasn't stuck on this shitty Vista laptop I'd have tried the HD version.

>>3535208
Just got finished playing Maui Mallard on SNES. I'll be playing the Genesis version too to see the differences and maybe the PC one if I can find it.

>>3535208
Playing Banjo Tooie for the first time. Really enjoying it

>>3535525
I doubt he's referring to people that were 15 in 2001. More like 8-10.

>>3535452
The GameCube was the first console I ever had. Those were the days for me.

Sunset Riders on Genesis
MGSV on PS3
Sega 3D Classics Collection on Virtual Boy
Batsugun on Saturn

>>3535260
Yay that's some good shit!
>>3535435
I should take a few days to do this with 1-4. And I'm gonna do it in all stars
>>3535450
also wanna marathon 1-3 I actually never beat any of them growing up
>>3536098
>Maui Mallard
Yes! Really great one

I want to work my way up through the classic SMT series, but before that wanted to try out P1 and 2. Of course I'm playing P1 on PSP with the music patch, but then I'm going for the PS1 IS translation (yay hitler!) and then PS1 EP.

once I'm off RPG mode I want to get into some nice platformers, looking at Goemon series, Demon's Crest, Ackman, etc etc I love how all of those look.

Eternal Darkness, too bad it's not retro.
I've been playing lots of classic survival horror over the last few month, too bad Silent Hill 2 and Resi Remake aren't retro either.

Eternal Darkness is just so fucking good.
It's amazing and ironic how one of the best horror games of it's generation, if not the whole genre, was a Nintendo exclusive.

>>3535208
nothing. with my CRT finally on the way, I thought I'd prop up my consoles and hopefully find me spindle of Dreamcast games.

Playing me some suikoden 1. I'm guessing I'm about 3/4 of the way through!

>>3536719
There's literally nothing ironic about that. RE4 was a Nintendo exclusive too.

>>3536775
except it wasnt
and one game doesnt change the fact that nintenyearolds play kids games on a toy lol faggots look at me being an adult with my sony

>>3535250
Luigi's Mansion is retro my dude

>>3536315
No you're not, that game sucks.

U.n. squadron and getting my ass kicked on easy

I've been playing Tetris Attack quite a bit with the gf. We completed first wave of puzzles about a week ago and have gotten through a couple stages of the second round. Tons of fun. Also enjoy the vs mode. I had been letting her win on occasion but she can now legitimately beat me every now and then.

>>3535208
get bent, I really hate "games were better back then" mentality bullshit, I don't come here for this bullshit, I come here because I genuinely prefer older games over newer games. It's a PREFERANCE, it has absolutely fucking nothing to do with some rediculous idea that the past was a magical time where all games were great. I acknolage that there are some good newer games, it is simply hat I don't like the play style of most of them, I have nothing against the games themselves and the people that enjoy them unless they are some ridiculous twitch style "e-sports" douchebag.

AoE 2, I haven't won a single game yet.

>>3536367
How old are you? The Nes was the first console for me.

>>3535208
Breath of Fire 3.
I'm picking it up again after putting 20 hours into it.

Is it seriously an 80 hour game?

>>3537005
don't respond to obvious trolls

>>3535272
OK I beat it on normal but I read there's a longer ending if you beat it on expert so I'm playing expert now

Rainbow Six, Mario Tennis, and Pilotwings 64 for N64 last night, and some Golden Axe on Genesis.

>>3535208
Comix Zone and King of Fighters '98

Bought Double Dragon on PSN. Any tips for a first-timer trying to 1CC? I've only made it up to Mission 3 so far.

DQ VII 3DS
Hacknet
UPlink
SMT: Soul hackers

That's my backlog for this fall

>>3537340
Is there a reason why you keep posting that image?

just bought final fantasy i&ii dawn of souls for the gba dragon warrior i&ii for the gbc and kingdom hears recoded for the ds, not sure which one should i play first, im about to finish fire emblem

>>3535208
Can't beat a single level yet!

>>3535208
half way retro BallisticNG
im trying to get good for multiplayer
but im the son of a pinball wizard

>>3536358
23-25 is still marrying/birthing age

Bio Menace
Damn, it's harder than I though.

>>3536978
>it's my opinion so it's right

>>3535208
Fire Emblem Monshou No Nazo

Baldur's Gate 1, doing a Bard runthrough.

Fuck me, I hate Durlag's Tower.

It's been 10 years since I played Dragon Quest 8. It's better than I remember.

Mega Man X

I can go through every stage no problem, get all the upgrades and shit, beat robot masters fine. Sigma's Fortress stomps my ass though.

I never really played the X games, I played a shitload of Mega Man on my Game Boy though. X is truly a cut above the others.

I also tried playing Demon's Crest but couldn't really get into it.

Donkey Kong 64. I was craving 3D platformers but there's almost none on the U so I settled. I have trouble getting into it. The controls are hard.

>>3537017

How is that trolling? My first console was a GBA and I'm 20. If we're talking about actual consoles, than a PS2 was my first. Time passes. Soon we're gonna have people on here whose first console was a 360 or Wii (that sounds so weird though).

>>3538046
Still some of the best voice acting in a video game ever, in my opinion!

Nes:
Shatterhand
Mega man IV

Ps1: quake 2, castelvania symphony of the night final fantasy IV

Master system lord of darkness

Cps2: alien vs predator

Sega gen the truxton
Sega cd: snatcher, just beat terminator

R-Type

I can't beat it even with unlim credits and I've had it for like 8 years.

Granted I give it a shot every year or so, not like I've been playing for that long.

Betrayal at Krondor

Just entered chapter 3 and feeling underpowered as hell.

I just picked up an Atari 2600 a week ago, so I've pretty much only been playing that. Picked up a stack of like 30 recommended games for $100 and have not looked back

I did play a little No Man's Sky yesterday, but that was only for like 30 minutes before I got bored again

Currently playing Dragon's Crown and GTA Liberty City Stories. Not Retro, but that's what I'm playing.

>>3535208
REmake which I wanna say is technically retro even though it kinda isn't, buy im also playing RE2 on N64.

>>3538091
I'm also playing DK64 but I'm playing on the N64. Just got up to Creepy Castle yesterday.
fuck Beaver Bother

>>3536698
>P1 PSP with music patch
Holy shit, now I can actually play that game!

>>3536025
I'm playing Metroid Fusion for the GBA and shit, I have ignored this franchise for too long.

>>3537003
Watch the viper on the tube, amazing player.

Currently playing terranigma on snes, passed me by in my youth.

Playing through Lufia: The Legend Returns again.

Also started playing StarCraft 2 again after a few year break from it. The co-op missions are a lot of fun.

>>3538081

I tried doing a NUR on MMX. Can't beat the spider for the life of me.

>>3538397
Yeah, I haven't really gotten to the point where I can go through all the stages with no upgrades or not using sub-weapons.

Really, I can't say I'm liking the Sigma levels at the end. The first one has jumping on those moving platforms with flying enemies coming at you outta nowhere. Just the platforming is hard enough since dash jumpin on such a small platform is tricky.

That spider boss is no fun at all.

After that, most of the levels are fine, but there are these random death corridors that just have a shitload of enemies. My strategy for those is use the chameleon shot alt-fire and just dash through them.

But then Sigma just fucks my shit up, even with the body armor upgrade.

Kinda weird that most of the game doesn't throw anything too bad at you, then the Sigma levels just push your shit in.

>>3535208
a bunch of CAVE shmups

Playin me some mrs pac man bitch

Started playing Gunstar Heroes and Super C today. Never played a Contra game in my life, so I'm currently horrible at it. Having a blast with Gunstar Heroes. Not very good at it yet, but I'm steadily improving.

Wild Arms 2, just got to the second disk. It's just as awesome as I remember. Probably my favorite non-Final Fantasy JRPG.

Been getting high / drunk with my brother and playing through Sid Miers' Covert Action. This game is incredible. I'm gonna make a thread dedicated to it in the next few days probably with some screens/play through stuff. SO much fun.

>>3538258
fuck yeah

Halfway through Final Fantasy.

About to start either Phantom Dust or The Thing on Xbox.

Then I'm probably gonna play some SNES games.

Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord and Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

Torturing myself with some Double Dragon 3 on the NES, the game is a little bit managable with turbo buttons, but the enemy damage is bullshit, plus cleopatra/queen noriam is broken with her Ermac attack

>>3535443

Unrealistic image. 2/10

We all know 1 guy got the "controller"

>>3538081
>>3538397
I think MMX is child's play, but that's because it literally was for me. That and Mega Man 7 were what I played the most as a kid, so every pixel and every detail of the games is just permanently engraved in my brain. It's honestly impossible for me to say if X1 is actually hard or not objectively speaking, but what I can say is that at the very least it's manageable. Pro tip for Sigma stage 1: when going up the air platforms, charge up rolling shield, as it blocks those assholes that try and knock you down. Likewise you can charge chameleon sting to go up the tower right after the vile fight.

Megaman Legends 1

Breath of Fire 1

Planning on playing BoF 2 + 3. Not sure about Legends 2 though, since i've never played it. How is it?

>>3540401
Not him but you're part of the problem, faggot.

>>3536995
How's her dick?

>>3540416
Yeah, you can make a lot of segments really easy with the charged shield or chameleon sting.

I finally managed to beat MMX today. Fortunately, you can pretty much throw yourself at Sigma as many times as you need to.

Moving on to MMX2 now, and having a hard time planning out the most effective route.

>>3536997
You seem way too uptight about OP's picture.

I genuinely prefer older games too, but it sure would be nice to have all the free time you had as a kid, and friends who aren't too busy to play with you, or friends who wouldn't rather farm trophies and achievements with their internet club.

>>3543518
It tastes like Video Games.

>those were the days
>crowding around a single tv
>with an uncomfortable as fuck gamepad
>playing a first person shooter where you can see everyone else
>at maybe 5 frames per second
The real days were people on a fucking LAN playing fucking DOOM deathmatch. Screw this N64 pseudo-nostalgia that caused the death of gaming.

Boy a lot of people sure do miss the point of the fucking OP image.

Jesus Christ

>>3543649
That N64/PS1 kids sucked into videogames by aggressive marketing to non-gamers had no idea what the hell good gaming was about and played any half-assed garbage fed to them?

>>3543649
why don't you give us your hot take on it from up in your ivory tower your majesty?

>>3543630
>Screw this N64 pseudo-nostalgia that caused the death of gaming.

You are what is wrong with gaming.

>>3543652
>>3543656
IT'S REPRESENTATIVE OF FUCKING SIMPLER TIMES WHEN YOU WERE A KID AND THE ONLY CARE IN THE WORLD YOU HAD WAS VIDEO GAMES

YOU WERE FOCUSED ON JUST HAVING FUN NOT BEING AN AUTISTIC FUCKING SPERGLORD ON AN IMAGE BOARD

FUCKING

JESUS

SHIT

>>3543630

>do LAN with friends
>play doom for 15 minutes
>spend the rest of the night sharing porn

those were the days

>>3543671
So hating a fucking system with garbage games like 2FPS GoldenEye and Shit Controls Shit Camera Mario 64 is "what's wrong with gaming"?

Every person that thinks he's a gamer needs to play, for the next two years at least, ONLY games released before 1995. All games. Good, bad, ugly, every system, everything. Force yourself into it and see what gaming is actually supposed to be like.

You'll cringe and wonder what the living fuck you ever saw in newer games and systems after those two years. Guaranteed.

>>3543712

Using the word "gamer" unironically is what's wrong with the world.

Seriously now, you're an idiot if you didn't own a PC, a PS1, a N64 and a Saturn. I mean, you missed stuff.

>b-but I didn't like it!

nah, you just try to convince yourself.

Anyway I agree Goldeneye wasn't that good. Neither was Doom or Quake, FPS is a very meh genre.
I'd rather play Saturn Bomberman.

>>3543683
hahahaha, ahahahaha, ahahahaha
Yeahhhh,
*sneaks one of dad's beers at 2am & cracks the lid*
those were the days.

>>3543683
True story

>>3543683
I want to have an old school copyparty but filesharing over LAN instead of copying diskettes.

Currently playing Majora's Mask. I beat the four temples but I want to find all the heart pieces and masks before actually finishing the game.

>>3535345

>Next up is programming a homemade universal joystick.
Explain?

>playing suikoden 1
>pretty good
>constantly forces me to use people
>especially people I don't like
>the same people over and over again
>everyone else goes unused

The last two mission parts have forced two short range characters on me leaving space for 1 out of 25 to choose from. This shit is so aggravating I might end up hating the game over it.

>>3544541

Tip: don't find all the masks now, go to the moon now.
Leave the mask-hunting for a post-game sort of deal.

pretty good

The more I play this game the more it grows on me.
Slowly making progress.

>>3539634
Looks cool, please do. Would love to see the screenshots

Got magic sword in the post today.

>>3546448
Me too. Now that I know what I'm doing (vs when I was a kid) game is piss easy but too enjoyable to not play. Really appreciate the background art detail.

>>3535435

Best game ever made.

>>3540412
This only happened if you were the shit head who forgot their controller at home

>>3546548
What game is that?

Playing Ironsword: Wizards and Warriors II; is hard mang.

>>3538140

>Shatterhand

This guy right here? He's my kinda guy.

Panzer Dragoon on Saturn, Gunstar Heroes on Genesis, and Metal Marines on SNES.

DQ VII. Is so long, i want to check out other games, but i don't have enough time to spend on videogames.

>>3543518
Protip: if it has a dick, it isn't a girl.

>>3535208

Ninja Warriors Again, SNES.

I always return to this one.

>>3535208
Turok 2: SoE mah nigga

>>3536974
It's not (yet)

>>3540412
ew, that transparent green one with the sticky buttons
don't mind me, I'm just thinking loud

>>3543676

just bought pic related

>>3550880
timeless, incredible game. I enjoy it every time I play.

>>3550936
it is really great
just as i remembered

>>3546086

Why is Cleo not in your back line? Keep using the oldest, they're the highest level and strongest.

Final Fantasy with an all Warrior party.

I'm on a quest to beat a small stack of personal challenges before I finish selling off all of my NES carts. Here's my list:

>Dracula's Curse
>TMNT1
>Little Nemo
>Ninja Gaiden
>Ninja Gaiden II
>Legacy of the Wizard
>StarTropics

I've finished CV1 and Batman so with these out of the way most of my 'goal' NES games will be done, and I can move on. Playing Dracula's Curse now.

Nothing more satisfying than kicking street luge fucks to the curb.

>>3535208
just cleared crash bandicoot 2, now about to start Castlevania SoTN

Playing Snatcher on the Sega CD, for the first time. I dig Blade Runner and Bubblegum Crisis/AD Police, so Snatcher feels pretty comfy. Some great tunes, too.

Also slowly playing Miracle Warriors/Haja no Fuuin on the SMS. It's brutal, and the interface is kind of clunky, but it's great if you like old CRPGs.

Slowly picking away at Blue Breaker and Lunatic Dawn on the PC-FX, but with my low level skill in moon runes, it's slow going. Blue Breaker has lots of voices, but Lunatic Dawn is mostly weird kanji and a whole lot of katakana (mangled English terms for medieval equipment).

Recently finished the SNES Shadowrun, which has great atmosphere and a great story, but also has a clunky interface.

Famicom Wars. I found a translated rom. fun but it's really slow to play. wish I could speed it up a bit.

also a few runs of SSX Tricky in between battles. but I can't talk about that here I guess.

COME ON MODS IT'S A 15 FUCKING YEAR OLD GAME

>>3535208
CV1. I'm stuck on the MasterBlaster fight though.

>>3552893
>Before I finish selling off my NES carts
Why would you do that to yourself, anon? What dark power has possessed you to do such a thing?

>>3538157
R-Type is a game you need to sit down at and memorize if you want to get anywhere.

that's outright the kind of game it is
and I love it for that

>>3535452
it's old

mind you, I remember feeling old when I first started hearing people refer to the PS1 like that
that was eight years ago or so

>>3537397
The trick with this game is creating the right character. It makes you think you can just make any silly character and it will work, but there's really only one ideal combination. At least for me. Keep an eye on the stats, make a character that is fast and as light as possible without reducing health too much. Choose a configuration that can fly and has fast projectiles.

Parodius for PCE and SNES.
Croc for PS1.

>>3536978
>>3536795

Why this board had to become sooooooooo fucking cancer with all these resentful retards posting? Can mods do something about it?

>>3543723
>Doom wasnt that good

say that to my face fucker not online and see what happens

>>3553412
>become
you must be new
>can the mods do something about it
I don't think 4chan is the website for you

>>3553102
>Miracle Warriors/Haja no Fuuin on the SMS
I played that after loving Phantasy Star and wanting more RPGs at the time and was basically disappointed it wasn't Phantasy Star. I did finish it though.
Maybe I should give it another chance now, looking at it as its own thing.

>Blue Breaker
I remember this being boring and quitting in the middle. But it's something else I figure I'll try again since it's been so many years.

Started playing Fire Emblem and it's pretty great. I should have tried this a long time ago.

>>3553484
its more fun if you can find a translation hack

Playing some PS1 Kula World, on the PSP- unfortunately.(PSX-PSP)
I actually DO own the original though!

Fucking incredible game!!!

>>3535208
>Chips on the floor
>No TV stand
>No couch

Animals, my childhood was never that messy.

>>3553125
Didn't we all have that one friend that was way messier than everyone else?
One of my friends parents both smoked and never had him clean his room so we rarely stayed at his place, dude would have piles of worn clothes and bags of various stale Doritos lying around around his room.

>>3550880
Too bad this blows it away.

>>3535208
Started playing Panzer Dragoon for the first time. The game seems awesome, but my experience is hampered by a loud humming noice my Saturn is emitting through the telly.
I'm working up the energy to start troubleshooting it.

>>3553710
>>No couch

We sat on the floor in front of the couch, except for this one piece of shit foam reclined chair that was the most comfortable thing ever made. We fought over the foam thing, but besides that cross-legged on the floor was the normal way to play.

SNES > MegaDrive

Golden Axe, the first one on genesis. Holy shit it's fucking unfun. I'm presuming it's waaaay better if you're playing with somebody else, but is such a chore to play single-player. Thinking of just moving on to the second.

>>3554154

playing it here, hving played it for about 15 or more years. It is much more tought than i thought

>>3544541
Majora's Mask heart collecting is the fucking worst nightmare in existence. Largely because most of them have a very specific time code you have to follow or else you have to start the cycle over.

I ran a relaxed route that optimized the fewest cycles I could go through while progressing through the game to collect heart pieces, and I'm warning you its like 5-10 cycles. It's a fucking pain.

Another point is that unlike Ocarina where you get quite a lot of clues as to where to find the heart pieces, MM is almost impossible to go 100% without a guide or expert knowledge of the game. Good luck.

Last month, I started on Chrono Trigger. I've never been much of an RPG fan, so I honestly got bored with it after a week and didn't finish it. I ended up playing Starbound for the last few weeks instead, which is much more my style.

>>3554445
Goddamn limeys. This is an American image board, call it a fucking Genesis.

>>3554445
Oh boy, here we go again.

>>3554585
It was called MD first, fuck off yank.

>>3538252
i cleared it including ice queen route stock music on psp. what's so bad about it?

>>3553125
Don't want them anymore

I'll buy a flashcart or boot up my Wii if I want to play them again, I'd rather get the money they're worth than keep them around filling up space.

>>3554445
This shit doesn't even compare to the Genesis version.

>>3555040
You are right, it doesn't because it's not even the same game.
The Virgin game has good sprite animation though.

>>3535208
Super Metroid, Megaman X, Hagane and Adventure of Dino Riki

>>3546448
Shit overrated game.

I was going to boot up Panzer Dragoon Saga later tonight. I want to get into Saturn more, since I've barely ever played it.

>>3535208
Mario Kart 64 and Golden Eye with some 360 controllers on a Pi with my nephew. That and we play CS:GO together.

Playing DUNE, DUNE II, SimCity 2000, SimCity 3000, SimCity 4, SimTower, SimAnt, Blade Runner, Snatcher, Neuromancer, X-COM, System Shock 1 & 2, and Planescape: Torment.

>>3535208
Castlevania Dracula X: Rondo of Blood. I love how the kept the gore and the Christian symbolism in this one instead of taking the Nintendo censorship cuck route.

Shadow Warrior: Twin Dragons expansion.

>>3555065

Get back to thrifting, Clint.

>>3555115

>muh gore

Are you 15?

>>3535208
I'm actually enjoying Bloody Roar II on my Nvidia Shield. Didn't know that game had a nice widescreen mode using Wide3 in the options.

>>3555184

>>3553482
Yeah, it is pretty different from a Phantasy Star game. I find it to be a bit more like Ultima 1 or 2. The story is pretty shit, but exploring the world has me hooked.

Blue Breaker also has an enchanting world, with a lot of randomly triggered events that make it feel like it is alive. I also enjoy protecting/trying to impress the girlies. Except for the dating sim stuff, the mechanics are pretty bland. But man, I love that setting.

>>3536795
> except it wasnt
yeah it was, until Sony released it in a shitty version to earn a little of the money they lost on the Game Cube with this Capcom project i don't remember the name (Okami, Killer 7, etc...)

Baldurs gate. 1st time ever playing it.
Just got through Firewine Ruins and wanted to chop my own Dick off with that awful pathing and kobold commandos launching fire arrows into Imoen's face. Was surprised at how weak the Ogre Mage was, just happy to be out of that shit hole though. Have loved the fuck out of the rest of the game so far.

>>3535208
So far this game's longer than I thought, which is epic.

>>3535208
MUSHA on genesis. I'm just getting into shmups and found one that doesn't immediately send me back to the start. Also shantae on GBC, although it seems really like the same game as its sequels

>>3555051
Shit overrated opinion

I have the itch to play Chrono Trigger all through again, but my shit min. wage job tires me so much I don't have time to get really invested. Shooting games at least can give me the short burst fun I can afford.

>>3535208

Reinstalled Fallout after I have looked into my gog account for a long time, forgot i got it there for free.
Playing it now with the fixt mod, makes it a better experience imo. Hi res and some tweaks like not having to click every item to put it into your inventory.

>Next up Fallout 2
