Getting a rocket into the Icon of Sins brain.

Watching the Death Star blow up on the original Star Wars arcade cab.

taking a huge shit while you play your NES Classic Edition on a little tv in the bathroom :D

I feel that its an acquired taste, but that little smiling face with the shades when you beat Minesweeper. I like to think he's getting head after sweeping all those mines.

For me its in Rocket Knight Adventure when you get near a boss and just start beating the shit out of it.
The little bit of slowdown, the sound effect, and the forgiving hitbox on Sparkster makes it feel great.

Winning the first class AAA high stakes race in Need for Speed 4.

Oh fuck yeah, now that's what I'm talking about. And let's not forget about the king sporting that smug smile once you beat a game a FreeCell.

>>3572057
reminds me of when I had my shitbox with xp on it and everytime an error popped up (which it did every 5 mins) the window would bleed wherever you moved it across the screen like that

>>3573118
Damn, now that's a nostalgia-bomb.

>>3573110
this guy knows it.

>>3573134
I like how this one's a bit squished to make him look even more smug.

>>3572057

there is, but i can't post it because it's not retro. sorry

solitare is not as fun to play with real cards

it takes way longer, you don't get the win bouncing cards effect, and also there is the possibility to cheat

but what is more pathetic than cheating at solitaire

>>3572057
95 solitaire not adjusting to modern cpu clocks is kinda hilarous.

>>3572057
Hitting the nuke button at the end of each Duke Nukem 3D level.

>but what is more pathetic than cheating at solitaire

Is it though?

Solitaire can have literally impossible layouts that cannot be won, so combine that with the effort of setting up a game by having to place all the cards, shuffle etc, I think its not that pathetic.

You could always just give your self a participation trophy for each game you play.

>>3572057
such a simple thing, but it works so well
it's a crying shame they got rid of it
>>3572845
FUCKING THIS

The games that come included with Windows are at the very bottom of the gaming hierarchy.

Only the lowest of casuals play that shit.

Imagine some elderly retired couple in their trailer park home taking turns playing this game on their old beige shitbox PC.

They have no conception of what real gaming is like and no curiosity to look beyond the games folder in the start menu.

What a fucking pitiful existence.

>laying a spike strip for some dumb faggot and they actually run it over

>>3573612
yeah that's why the electronic version is better
you can just click new game if you get an impossible hand
instead of cheating

>>3573751
nigga Solitaire is a god-tier bathroom break phone game

>>3573751
yeah well at least a husband and wife are having fun together
you need to get out of your little "superior gamer" box and think about what is really important in life

>>3573632
>The IT Crowd
is that Big Bang Theory for hipsters?

>>3572057

>>3573808
Yes. You should really avoid both shows.

>>3573751
I remember this post. It's a great post.

>>3573806
>husband and wife
>implying carpet munchers and turd burglars can't play solitaire

Bump.

>elderly retired faggot/dyke couples
>implying homosexuals can into long-term monogamy

I bet there is a huge market for gay marriage divorce lawyers

>implying anyone else can into monogamy
Most people who preach monogamy don't practice it.
Welcome to /vrpol/ friendoling

I don't come to /vr/ for nostalgia, but I have a peculiar memory with this screen, as an introverted and depressed 30 something.

My grandma worked as a maid for a retired doctor. This chill old man had a big house on the outskirts of my village, with large woods and I even learnt about botany and birds with him. His children were working and married, except for his younger son who was still a college student. This guy was bright but not very talkative and moody at times.

One day, when I was 10, I went there and this student was in their large dining room with a rifle rack for hunting, setting up a brand new computer he had just bought. It was the first PC I ever saw and I watched him try Mach 3, then Prince of Persia, amazed by the animations of the character, and finally navigated Windows 3.1. He played a bit of Solitaire until we finally saw this cool victory screen. Felt pretty awesome and this day really got me into computing.

I don't remember seeing him again, but years later he took one of the rifles from said rack and blew his head off.
