/vr/ - Retro Games

Its pretty fucking good. The N64 had really good Star Wars games and it made my childhood full of fun.

>>406748
i remember beating this game with minimal trouble as a kid, but now its seems a lot hard than it used to.

just as good as rogue squadron is shadows of the empire. dash rendar was so badass.

>>406828

I thought Shadows of the Empire sucked myself.

I only really played it for that first snow speeder mission and that wasn't even worth it once Rogue Squadron came out.

>>408630
Wow, you're a tool.

>>408630
I would have no problem strangling the ever loving shit out of you for saying SotE sucked.

This took that game and perfected it

>>408602
QUICK WHO'S BETTER?
DASH RENDAR OR KYLE KATARN

Also I want to play Rogue Squadron on PC again so bad, and Pod Racing

>>408694
>playing the the final mission with the Millennium Falcon

>>408704
Dash. He didn't need force powers or a lightsaber to be badass.

>>408704
look at those rugged good looks.
can you imagine how much alien pussy he got?

I like it, I play as the Interceptor as often as I can. Makes me feel like one of the Wraiths.

what was your reaction when naboo cheat code was finally revealed a year later after realese

>>408734
The Naboo fighter is fast enough and well-armed enough to make a scene, I think. It's a fun drive.

My reaction was confusion, I guess. I didn't expect an outdated starfighter to be playable.

>Rogue Squadron will never be properly emulated

>>408759
there's a pc version

>>408704

Kyle Katarn because he is the Rebellion's own Solid Snake


>You are now realizing a MGS style game set in the Star Wars universe would be awesome

>>408765
>the PC version will never be properly played without a virtual machine

>>408704
Dash Rendar because he managed to kick IG-88's ass. Kyle Katarn couldn't do that in his wildest dreams.
FUCK YOU IG-88 FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU EVERY TIME I RENTED THE GAME THE SAVE FILE WOULD BE STUCK AT IG-88 ALWAYS EVERY TIME EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN TIME

>>408759

So very true, especially with the gamecube version.Shadows of the Empire is playable on project 64 2.0 but the menu is annoying as fuck.

>>408765

The PC version works like ass on Windows NT based operating systems. I tried it on XP and it sucked. Might work on Linux with wine I don't know.

>>408727
What are those big brown shoulder things for?

>>408694
The Incom T-65 X-Wing is the fighter that killed the Death Star. An almost perfect balance of speed, maneuverability, and defensive shields makes this the fighter of choice for Rogue Squadron except when the mission profile disallows it. In addition to four blaster connons, the X-Wing can carry a number proton torpedoes. It's powered by four fusial thrust engines and requires an on board astromech droid for peak performance.

>>408867
I can still hear it in my head
That delicious fucking narrator

>>408829
>tfw you I finally beat him

Now that I remember, that game had some pretty fucking difficult levels and bosses.

I hated the controls for Shadows of the Empire. That's the biggest gripe I can recall with it.

>>408867
My nostalgia levels have gone up to maximum now and I have no way to sate them. Fuck this, I'm out.

>>408880
the sewer level always freaked me out because you never knew when a tentacle thing would swim up and fuck your shit up or some droid or trooper shoot you from around some crazy corner. the fact that the loudest and most distorted scream would come out of his mouth whenever he would get hurt only made me freakout more when he got hurt.

Rogue Squadron was hard as tits.

It's amazing to see how terrible I am at it nowadays compared to the old days.

>>408903
Hadn't played it in years, I can only recall it being slightly easier than Turok to control.

you better stay out of my cave

>CHICKEN
Some things you never forget

>>408945
OH FUCK YEAH

i used to spend hours on that level.

>>408867
Those narrations make my dick hard to this day

Ive been using this guide trying to get Rogue Squadron to install
http://noabody.wordpress.com/2011/09/23/run-rogue-squadron-3d-on-windows-7-64-bit/
but it still keeps giving me a "insert cd" message

My cd drive is D:
my game is installed in C:\Games\
what am I doing wrong?

>>408982
If you're following the directions listed and it's not working, then does extracting the files also give you a disc image? ISO? You might need to mount it with something like Daemon Disc Mounting.

>>409005
no, because the files extracted are from the game disk itself

>Are you sure you want to erase your data?
>Yes
>Are you really sure?
>Yes
>Are you really really sure?

>>408694
Is it possible to get a gold medal on Endurance? I have a gold medal on every other mission, but I never bothered to try and get it on this one

>>408838
They're Liefield-absorbing crumple zones.

>>409826

Yes

Requirements

Time: 400:00
Enemies: 1300
Accuracy: 8%
Friendlies Lost: 0
Lives Lost: 12
Targeting Computer Efficiency: 0%

You can lose 12 lives because every 10 waves you get a life. Accuracy is whats hard here because there are so many enemies its harder to get 8% than you think.

I love you /vr/

Anyways, what's your favorite level?, favorite ship?
Pic related, my favorite level and ship

>>411001
the search for the nonnah because it was the first time i got to fly one of these.

i also liked moff seerdons revenge because i finally got to kick his candyass

>>408630
>>408649
>>408656

I found this and Goldeneye at Goodwill half a year ago and still haven't picked it up. I remember it being amazing when I last played it, but I have a feeling that I won't feel the same way today

>>411118
You are wrong. Such a fun game. I end up playing the swoop bike race multiple times every time I pop the cart in.

>>408734
My mind was blown. You could never hide something like that in a game for months nowadays.

>>411001
Favourite level is Blockade on Chandrila.
Favourite ship is the V-Wing. What can I say, I'm a tryhard.

Hey does anyone have a torrent for the pc version of shadows of the empire?

Only missions I found vicious where the one in the volcano in the Y fighter and the one just before the end, where you had an X-Wing and had to a fuckton of enemies and then a boss at the end inside a modified shuttle thing.

Was stuck on the volcano one for months then out of the blue I finished it, no clue what I did different, the other was tough but the R2 unit will repair the X-Wing so I just did strafing runs on the boss and let the R2 do his thing, took forever but I won.

Final mission was ez pz in comparison.

>>406748

I hated it. I will immediately disclaim that you're not idiots for liking it. I feel like the weird one hating it. But I played every game in the series and just couldn't ever get into it. Combat felt slow and disjointed, missions felt pointless, commanding my squad seemed to have no effect on the game, I found none of the ships fun to fly, fuck I didn't even feel any excitement about shooting down a TIE fighter.

I always wanted to like it too. I would put Star Fox 64 among my top 5 favorite games of all time.

This game was insanely popular and I just have no fucking clue why.

>>406748

FUCKING FANTASTIC MASTERPIECE

>>413273
i feel sorry for you. you missed out.

>>413273
Do you like games like TIE Fighter, X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter, etc.?

>>413273
It's perfectly fine to not like something.

No one's going to get pissed at you as long as you're civil about it.

>>411105
playing that again in the v-wing is awesome
>SO YOU'RE THE ONE WHO BLEW UP THE DEATH STAR. WELL YOU'LL NEVER BEAT MRUUUUUUUUUUUUURGGGGGGGGHARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH<wbr>

Rogue Squadron was shit.
But it was my shit, and I loved that game. Tell me, does it need a memory card or does it save on the cartridge? I may just pull it out for old time's sake.

>>413945
No, you don't need a memory card.

>>411313

one day I tried for about 6 hours straight to get the gold on the lava level. on one attempt I was fucking 1 second away from doing it. I finally managed it and had to take a fucking bath to de-stress myself

>>409248
did Rogue Squadron really do that?

>finding the target-seeking missile upgrade for the V-Wing
