/vr/ - Retro Games

Same with people who think N64 has no good games outside of 1st party/rare.
Ignorance.

>>4406839
History revisionists. I never been a console warrior though.

millennial snowflake revionistas balistas?

>>4406839
Every person I know who has a sega genesis is a homosexual.
Not implying anything, just true fact.

>>4406870
Homosexual here, can confirm. Also everyone who owned an SNES turned into a tranny.

We have a feisty janitor. Can you please block me for 15 more minutes for calling you a tranny cuck? That would be delightful.

>>4406839
Because it gets a rise out of people like you.

>>4406839
>As a Super Nintendo kid i was jealous of people who had one since they got to play cool shit like golden axe

Holy crap, are you me? I had this same type of jealousy. My friend had Road Rash, Skitchin, Comic Zone, etc and all I kept thinking was how much I wanted to play those.

>>4406839
>Why do so many people these days act like Sega had no good games other than Sonic?
>implying it isn't the other way around

>>4406839
>Why do so many people these days act like Sega had no good games other than Sonic?

Because Sega TODAY has no good games other than Sonic, and even Sonic games aren't good either.

back in the 90s they had the most rad games by far.

>all these tryhard "retro" bandwagoner kids who try to rewrite history based on their favorite e-celebs, trashing the Sonic games, and glorifying the early pre-Sonic era of decent but ultimately limited arcade ports
Sonic 1 is a legend and literally sold millions of systems for years and years.
Stay underage.
If you want to name a good pre-Sonic game, at least mention Thunder Force.

>>4406949
Funny, because the game isn't even good.

>>4406949
OP here
the owner of the trendy retro store in town says he doesn't like sonic 1 as much as 2 or 3, CAUSE NO SPINDASH
fuckin plebes everywhere i swear

>>4406979

I played more sonic 1 but spindash is the best mechanic. Go fast anywhere.

>>4406839
Sega is irrelevant today, so the younger generation only knows Nintendo. In addition, most Genesis kids seem to have lost interest in video games as they got older, whereas the SNES kids kept playing them.

>>4407069 it’s a matter of what the system was, to whom, at what time. My guess is that most Genesis early adopters (Altered Beast pack in) were somewhat older than most NES players on average, and this crowd enjoyed its arcade conversions and shooters. Then you have the younger crowd that bought (or received at Christmas/birthdays) the system when it hit $99 dollars and included Sonic.

And then another wave of what we now call “dudebros” who just bought it for EA Sports games.

>>4406839
on the bright side the genesis has some unknown games that are pretty fucking good for cheap. whereas even games that people acknowledge as bad on snes are expensive

>>4407091
>“dudebros” who just bought it for EA Sports games.
Was this really a thing in the 16bit days? Dudebros openly playing video games? I didn't care for sports games myself, but it seemed like everyone who had them were just regular bing wahoo kids like me. Kids with multiple siblings or dads who could be roped into playing tended to have them.
apparently they were good on sega

>>4407116
Well, maybe not Dudebros. But I’ve known guys who owned the Genesis system and nothing but sports games.

>>4407116
video games aren't a sophisticated hobby anon

>>4407139
Videogames are high art if you ask me!

>>4406839
Because a lot of them are either brainwashed closed minded Nintendrones who hate Sega or they are filthy casuals who never took the time to explore a great library of Sega Genesis games.

>>4407280
>b-but muh nintendrone boogeymen!
You're also part of the problem.

>>4407281
False. Fanboys are the problem. Nintendrones, Xbots, Sony Ponies, etc. If you can't recognize that as a problem, you're the problem.

>>4407293
Funny you mentioned Xbots (who aren't even /vr/) but forgot to mention segautists.
Anyway, console wars are a problem, I agree, but you're part of it.

>>4407293
>>>/v/

>>4407301
I put the "etc" part because 1) I didn't know the name of Sega & Atari fanboys. 2) etc is just easier to say.

Also "autist" isn't an insult. The name I'd give Sega fanboys are Segays. With that said. No I'm not the problem. But you certainly are, Nintendrone.

>>4407280

the filthy casual posers are the cancer that kills this board

>>4407362
>I'm not the problem
>uses /v/-tier console war terminologies

>>4406839
ikr, so many games i missed freaking out on:
mutant league pucksitck/handegg
vectorman
contra
castlevania
castle of illusion
aladdin (don't care which one was better, but i REALLY wanted to play the genesis one more than i did)
phantasy stars's's's's
thunder force
mortal kombat......with BLOOD!!
sonics'
road rash
xmen 2
gunstar hero's
>>4407098's choice
streets of rage
and a bunch of other ones i missed out on completely
>these are some of my fav'o'rite things

It must be because I had an atari befoere my NES, but I never talked shit of sega stuff
Only have seen 1 Genesis in person in my lifetime

>>4407098
Fucking loved this game as a kid

>>4406839
Because it's fun triggering Genesis fans who are still insecure about coming in second place over twenty years ago.

>>4407465
Genesis won outside of nippon though

>>4407486
the only people who won were the idorts

>>4407373
I agree.

>>4407398
>Being this triggered over words like "Nintendrone" and "Xbots".
Only fanboys get triggered. Go back to /t/umblr

>>4407465
>Nintendrone detected
The only reason Nintendrones attack Genesis fans is because Sony and Microsoft has been kicking Nintendo's ass in every other generation.

>>4407362
>autist isn't an insult
>gay is an insult

Haha wait what

>>4408360
>Only fanboys get triggered.
yeah, you are the fanboy. The guy who is still upsed about Sega vs Nintendo, a console war from 25 years ago.
>>>/v/

Dynamite Headdy and Snatcher aren't on SNES and for that reason alone merits a MegaDrive purchase

>>4406839
Do people act like that? I don't think I've ever seen anyone trying to claim that Sonic is the only good game for the Genesis. They're not even the best games on the console, by a long shot.

>>4408554
>>4408564
False. You Nintendrones are the fanboys who got triggered. I have no loyalty to any one brand, since I own multiple Nintendo, Sega, Sony & Microsoft consoles.

>>4409062
You were the first person to make a console war post.
OP even said he was a "nintendo kid" and still liked Sega's games.
You are still the problem.

>>4409067
>Still being a triggered Nintendrone
Go back to /v/ kid

>>4406964
The game isn't good, it's phenomenal and one of the greatest games ever made you plebiean piece of shit
Sonic compltely reinvented the platforming genre
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uh-m4U2w0z8

>>4409073
If I really was a nintendrone, I would engage with your childish console wars. I'm just telling to fuck off, regardless of if you like nintendo, sega, or whatever.
You are the very problem you hate, a mindless fanboy who can't comprehend how other people aren't like him, and thus treats everyone as equals, as console warriors.

>>4406979
3K > 1 > 2 > CD

>>4406983
You don't need the spindash in Sonic 1 though.
Rolling attack is very underutilized by retards and in Sonic 1 especially it comes very handy

>>4406949
>If you want to name a good pre-Sonic game
Genesis had a lot of good games before Sonic but I agree that Sonic 1 is legendary and one of the most revolutionary games of all time and it's disgusting how people try to appear snobby by deriding them in favor of other Genesis games by labeling them as bad or some shit like that.

In reality these pieces of shit never take the time to learn the mechanics of these games which with Sonic you definitely need to because the way Sonic controls is very different from most games out there.

>>4408937
Sonic 3K isn't on SNES for that reason the Mega Drive is far superior since 3K is GOAT.

>>4408360
>Nintendrone detected
Hate to shatter your delusions but I own four Sega consoles and only one from Nintendo.

>>4406839
>Why do so many people these days act like so many people these days act like Sega had no good games other than Sonic?
FTFYK

>>4407120
Yea there were a lot of people who only had Madden NFL and a golf game for their Sega. They marketed more to the dude bro sports fan than Nintendo in the states.

>>4409062
>>4407362
This has somehow gone even further into the trash in the past 24 hours wtf

>>4409080
False. You are a Nintendrone and it shows with how offended you are when I use the term. What am I a fanboy of? Every single console from Nintendo, to Sega, to Playstation, etc? Because I own multiple consoles. Hell I own more Nintendo consoles than I do Sega consoles(SNES, N64, Gamecube vs Genesis & Dreamcast. I have yet to get a Sega Saturn, NES and SMS). I think you get butt-hurt just a little too easily. Like this guy ----> >>4409207
& this guy -----> >>4409253

Bottom line is, I'm glad that I own these consoles and own games for them. Unlike the console war faggots who think "Nintendo is better" or "Sega is better". It is possible to enjoy games from both companies.

>>4409420
So everyone is a console warrior for calling you out on your console warring shitposting?

>>4407168
DJ Boy. this was the first game i got. And Thunder force 4

>>4407069
Well, when the business who produced your favorite games, consoles, and hardware suddenly bows out of the market to be a game dev only and then proceeds to produce ONLY shit games, you don't really know where else to look.
Nintendo is cool, but it's easy to go ahead and say it's pretty kiddy, because it was. True, there were some mature games that came to their hardware, but not like what was on Sega, and not like Sony. And Microsoft came into the console market peddling to the mature crowd as well. Nintendo decided to stay family friendly for the most part.
Not knocking Nintendo, mind you, and it was good that they stayed so family friendly, but Sony didn't have much to offer the Sega kids, and neither did Microsoft. Things weren't the same anymore.

>>4409426
False. You're basically an idiot who gets easily offended with terms like Nintendrone or Sony Pony. If you enjoy consoles from any brand, great. Just don't get offended by fanboy nicknames.

>>4409468
So people who call you out on your shitposting are just "idiots" who "get easily offended"? Hm.

>>4409075
>The game isn't good, it's phenomenal and one of the greatest games ever made you plebiean piece of shit

If you would've talked about Thunder Force, then I would've agreed.

The only thing Sonic introduced into platforming is bigger reliance on physics, which is as much of a good thing as it is bad, depending on how it is implemented. That, and it was the first game to have fast gameplay, but that only came naturally from the hardware.

>>4409479
>That, and it was the first game to have fast gameplay,
Except Sonic 1 was slow as balls. Super Mario Bros goes a lot fast than Sonic 1.

>>4409471
Make all the excuses you want. But you act just like a SJW, getting offended by offensive terms. You act like Nintendrone is the same as the N word.

>>4409479
Actually Sonic introduced a lot more than "bigger reliance on physics". It also did lock-on technology, allowing you to play as Knuckles in Sonic 2 & 3. Sonic's speed was mind blowing. I could beat a level within under a minute. Sonic also had animations. Like when you make Sonic wait, he starts looking at you and tapping his foot. Sonic pretty much rivaled Mario, unlike some other mascots.

>>4409492
>Make all the excuses you want. But you act just like a SJW, getting offended by offensive terms. You act like Nintendrone is the same as the N word.
the what now? I'm not offended because you used "nintendrone", I'm not even offended. I'm making fun of you for getting defensive when people call you out on your console war bullshit.
You better keep talking about Sonic, it's at least more on-topic.

>>4406839
They don't.

>>4406849
Minus Rare that's largely the case unlike what he's suggesting about Sega.

>>4409420
You gotta calm down bro just because Nintendo won doesn't mean the Genesis is any worse.

>>4406943
>back in the 90s they had the most rad games by far.
Do you mean the games that were the raddest in quality or they had the amount of rad games? Those are two different things.

I'd say MD/Genesis had a higher amount of solid titles, but it didn't even have for example Super Metroid. Albeit that's sort of an unfair one off - even the SNES doesn't have anything else like SM. It really stands on it's own in that era as the closest thing to a perfect game that isn't a simple puzzler like Tetris.

Did it have good exclusives at all?
I remember most of their shit was arcade ports from sega
At lease snes had nintendo games that you couldn't play anywhere else

>>4409750
Yes, plenty.

>>4409750
not really

>>4409750
Maybe.

>>4409075
Sonic was never good and I love sonic since the day I saw that blue ball.

>>4406949
I grew up with Genesis and Sonic was one of the better games I had (and I had a lot of games), but I always preferred playing Super Mario World at my friend's house to Sonic because of the same criticisms that the e-celebs you are upset with now.

These criticisms weren't just made up and forced upon people. A lot of people don't find going really fast and running into spikes to be that fun.

>>4406839
It sort of does lack truly amazing iconic games like the SNES has. Revisionist history thanks to retrospective perceptions also largely plays a role why this is true. I mean besides Sonic games what does it truly have that you can say is iconic, legendary vidya that everyone should know about or have at least played otherwise they are a massive faggot for not doing so? I can understand why its not being looked at as favorably now. It didn't even sell as much as it should have either considering its "legacy" it left.

I love SOR. I too also love Golden Axe. I still play them occasionally even today. Outside of this and Sonic though? Console is lacking when compared to SNES. One game I ended up really liking but not until emulators is Mutant League Football. I don't care much for licensed games anymore like loony tunes and movie games but I'll admit Castle Of Illusion is pretty good.
>>4407437
>mortal kombat......with BLOOD!!
And also with shittier controls.

>>4406839
>>4409841
The SNES though?

- Super Mario World
- Donkey Kong Country 1-3
- Super Castlevania IV
- Super Mario Kart
- Chrono Trigger
- Final Fantasy III/VI
- TMNT Turtles In Time (better than Genesis one)
- Final Fight 1-3
- Super Metroid
- SUPER FUCKING METROID!
- Yoshi's Island
- Mega Man X 1-3
- ALTTP
- Street Fighter, it has fucking Street Fighter goddamn it
- Super R-Type

I mean come on dude its not even fucking close and I still love both consoles. I didn't even list certain other A and B tier games I could have here. SNES was the better console hands down simply because it had better and more better games overall.

It pains me to have to say this but maybe Sega should have been more busy getting their act together and not shitposting and maybe they would still be making great consoles and games today if they did. Genesis is good but it lacks big time when looking back in retrospect. Such a shame because it deserved more great games. It was the B player at best next to all those Nintendo A's.

>>4409859
>Street Fighter, it has fucking Street Fighter goddamn it
Your typical SNES fan, everyone. So ignorant of the Genesis library he doesn’t even realize it also had Street Fighter on it.

>>4409468
>Antagonizes people then makes fun of them for responding
>Thinks they have any moral high ground, even on SJW's

***Bonus Stage***
>>4409492
>lock-on technology

>>4409878
With less buttons just like Mortal Kombat.

>>4409750
> Implying having arcade games is bad.

Jesus Christ.

Normal shit everyone mentions for good reason:

Streets of Rage 1, 2 and 3.
Golden Axe 1 and 2.
Thunderforce series.
Contra Hard Corps (the best Contra game)
Castlevania Bloodlines
Revenge of Shinobi and fucking Shinobi III.
Gunstar Heroes.
Sanic
Vectorman
Road Rash


Hmm, what else...

Herzog Zwei - Literally the father of the modern RTS game. No that's not a fucking typo. One of the most ground breaking games ever created and it was on the fucking Sega Genesis. Also see Dune II: Battle for Arrakis

M.U.S.H.A
Dynamite Heady
Comix Zone
Alien Solider
Devil Crash
Ranger X

Shining Force and Phantasy Star for the RPG faggots.

TMNT Hyperstone Heist (no it isn't Turtles in Time)

God damn Rolling Thunder II. It's fucking James Bond + Anime + Shinobi.

El Viento. Like a hard as fuck early 16 bit Ninja Gaiden game. It has some cheap shit but in that "get good" old school action platformer way and is Japanese anime aesthetic comfy as hell.

Splatter House 3 because fuck your kid safe Nintendo shit.

Crusader of Centy. Straight up Link to the Past clone but here's the thing....it might actually be better.

Desert and Jungle Strike.

Virtua Racing.

F22 Interceptor which is a 3D flight game that runs without an add on chip. Crazy low frame rates but also insanely impressive.

Valis III. Waifu Castlevania.

Adventures of Batman and Robin for one of the most insane soundtracks ever.

Ecco the Dolphin and Tides of Time.

NHL '94. Don't laugh, it's one of the best sports games ever made.

Should I even expand on shmups?

>>4409913
>Vectorman
not that guy and no real dog in the fight, but why do so many people bring up Vectorman as a great game? I thought it was awful. Does it get better after the first stage or something?

>>4409913
>Implying having arcade games is bad.
it actually is

>>4409927
Please explain.

>>4406839
>Dynamite Headdy
>The Ooze
>Ristar
>Thunder Force IV
>Pulseman
>Alien Soldier
>Sub-Terranima
>Streets of Rage 2
>Contra Hard Corps
>Phantasy Star II

>>4409903
>I don’t even know the 6-button controller exists
And yes, the controller came as standard in some countries once it was released. Not in USA though.

>>4409913
>Implying having arcade games is bad.
You need to brush up on your reading comprehension, he's saying original titles > imperfect arcade ports when it comes to good libraries (which is wrong unless you're only looking at things through a modern perspective, and even then it's all subjective).
>>4409923
Vectorman does suck but SEGA fanboys hold it up as something worth a damn since it was SEGA's answer to DKC, and looking at his adorable quips on some of those listed games suggests he leans towards certain biases.
>>4409927
When were you born exactly? Being able to play a version of a game at home that normally required you to pay $0.25~0.50 every life or so while standing in a pizzaria, laundromat, etc. was something lots of gamers at the time wanted.

>>4409913
>Crusader of Centy. Straight up Link to the Past clone but here's the thing....it might actually be better.
I was intrigued by this and decided to try it out. All I can say is: lol.

It seems like an okay game so far, but if you're comparing it to ALttP you're fucking delusional.

>>4409923
>>4409981
>he can't get past the first stage
Yes Vectorman is an amazing game

>>4409693
Super Metroid is great but it's just not very video gamey ya know?
The combat is a bit easy

>>4410034
>it's just not very video gamey
What does that even mean?
>The combat is a bit easy
Since when was Metroid about combat?

>>4410027
more like I couldn't bear to play any longer
aw fuck it, I'll give it another go tonight after work. maybe level 2 is fucking amazing

>>4409075
FYI that guy is ironic throughout the video.
Im sorry that your comprehension is child level.

>>4410042
every level is better than the last

>>4409679
>Minus Rare that's largely the case unlike what he's suggesting about Sega.
Yeah, because Konami or Hudson never made good games for the N64, right anon? Ignorance is a bliss. Or not.

>>4409693
>I'd say MD/Genesis had a higher amount of solid titles, but it didn't even have for example Super Metroid.
I've been saying this for years. Genesis has a higher amount of "gud" games but it never had that Super Metroid or Link to the Past quality of game.

>>4409923
>not that guy and no real dog in the fight, but why do so many people bring up Vectorman as a great game?
Vectorman looks good but that's about it. Worth a play for sure but I wouldn't name it a must have for the system.

>>4406839
I dont know, SNES is not even in my top 5 consoles and Genesis is my top 1.

>>4410172
That's strange, both systems share a lot of similarities and were the kings of 4th gen.
What are the other 4 systems you like better than the SNES, but less than the MD?

>>4410178
When it comes to /vr/ systems:
Genesis
Dreamcast
Playstation
Saturn
Neo-Geo

>>4410187
Neo Geo is great, but the library is very limited as far as genres and developers go.

>>4409972
Why did you only cherry pick that one game out of that large list of SNES games given? Whats the matter can't admit it was true?

Iconinc SEGA games yet to be mentioned: Shinobi and Toejam and Earl

>>4410158
> never had that Super Metroid or Link to the Past quality of game.

Only kiddies who don't appreciate arcade style games could ever say such a thing.

Just for starters Thunder Force IV is every bit of a masterpiece as those two games. The problem is that it is an actual ass kicking game and not some easy going exploration experience. Thunderforce is technically more impressive, requires vastly more skill to beat, and has subjectively better music (Metroid's music is awesome but Thunderforce has way more tunes).

Herzog Zwei is one of the most important and influential games ever made. It is a vastly more ground breaking game than Super Metroid or Link to the Past if you understand what you are looking at.

And in terms of the more "easy going" kid friendly "quality" that I think you might be referring to actually sit down and play Sonic and Knuckles. Yeah it is cool to hate on Sonic now because someone said "hurr durr the speed works against the game" and everyone started parroting it but actually sit down and play the game. It is fucking beautiful with wonderfully designed levels, great controls and fantastic music.

>>4409096
Best of the series so, sure.

>>4411331
TF IV is overrated because "muh heavy metal fart guitars!"
TF III is where it's at. Better level design and better music.

>>4411331
Herzog Zwei wasn't even a Genesis game it was a port of a Javanese computer game.

>>4411446
>was a port of a Javanese computer game.

Nope. Herzog was the original game. Zwei was the Genesis only sequel and the first true RTS.

>>4406839
Because being a fanboy for a faceless corporate entity is a hell of a drug. Genesis has more good games than most systems.

King of Dragons is better than Golden Axe, though...

>>4406839
Most children know noting about arcade-game.

>>4411331

>Thunder Force IV is every bit of a masterpiece as those two games. The problem is that most people find Super Metroid or Link To The Past more fun to play.

>>4411890
KEK
yeah i'm a genesis fan (idort) and i don't even like shmups

>>4406839
Because Nintendo first dominated the North American gaming market back in the 80s, and then did really well in the North American gaming market during the 90s. And therefore it seems that a large number of Americans are today biased towards Nintendo. An therefore, there are many Nintendo fanboys on the english speaking part of the internet. And therefore, many Americans suck Nintendo's dick and preach about how good Nintendo is. And then they maybe get some Europeans to also suck Nintendo's dick. And then they start to think that Nintendo was the only good game company during the 80s and 90s, because of Smash Bros. And then they watch all the big YouTubers who a̶r̶e̶ ̶p̶a̶i̶d̶ ̶b̶y̶ love Nintendo. And then they start to bitch about things like "da vidya crash of eitee treeez!!" and also how the Genesis isn't as good as Nintendo.

>>4406839
Better question would be how come there are still people defending a console that was designed to and only barely could compete with the NES. It's the future now and all those old hatchets should be buried by now. Even people who had Segas back in the day should be able to recognize how subpar it really was.

>4411992
Oh those dastardly Americans all conspiring together to smear the legacy of your favorite console, that despite it's crummy hardware and inferior ports was still somehow secretly great. Where will their scheming end?

I like thunderforce IV. Love my mega drive. But its really time you open your eyes /vr/. Thunder force IV often crashes during the ice water level. Dude, it fucking freezes. How cool is that for a console game? The game suffers from massive slow down in general. Some foreground objects appear as if they are in the background due to retarded shading. Enemy bullets often have the same color as the players projectiles. Which is a big FUCKING YOU-CANT-DO-THAT-IN-A-SHOOTER. TF IV is a good game but its FAR from being great. If it didn't have the rewarding skill gameplay going i wouldn't even bother with it.

ITT

>>4409913
Some of those games could be remade with better music. The genesis soundchip sounds like a donkey pissing into a tin bucket. And alot of games for some reason use those weird ball chain links. The balls look out of place because they don't look designed. They are just some circles floating in the air with a radial gradient, instead of all the other stuff in the game which are textured sprites. Just my five cent.

>>4412205
How will they recover?

Holy hell, the ass beating that Genesisfags are receiving in this thread.

>>4412129
troll, fanboy or legit retard? i'd take genesis more than 3 sprites at a time and way less slowdown over snes's abysmal fucking performance that woo'd plebs with colours to detract from every game running at 10fps every time 3 sprites showed up, gradius 3 was a fucking embarrassment and all the arcade ports were total fucking shit which are for some reason venerated by plebs with delusion.

>>4412209
>The genesis soundchip sounds like a donkey pissing into a tin bucket.
wrong, only for devs who couldn't use it properly, at its best though it clearly became the most memorable of the 2 systems.

Oh you're a dumb pleb millenial cunt with adhd,nah sorry i'm not answering that question you pea brained shite.

>King of Dragons is better than Golden Axe, though...
I agree but all the capcom snes ports are fuckiing garbage, as someone who's 1cced a handful of the cps titles i was stunned when i tried them on snes after hearing the praise of "accuracy" they aren't even fucking close! they all look shit, are all butchered, and all run like slug gash. The arcade exclusive golden axe dicked on the console ones to but was a diff game at least.

>>4409859
final fight 1-3 is fucking shite on snes, 1 is a shameful port. As a beatemup fan who can 1cc a bunch of arcade ones comfortably no console came close to arcade but sor 2 mania and 3 were leagues beyond the fucking snes shite.
>>4409927
>it actually is
Onlmy because you're dumb as a rock and blame games for you being complete shit at them, arcade games are patritian tier for legit gamers whilst soyboy virgins like you wank off to cringey rpg stories about molesting fairies or whatever, fucking spastic.

cv4 is alright but i prefer bloodlines.

super r-type runs like shite.

RPGs are for talntless soyboy scum.

dkc is ugly as fuck and an overated but decent platformer.

i listened to them back-to-back and they both sound equally good

>>4412251
Fuck you. Sega sounds like cancer.

>>4412261
"People" who don't like the Genesis sound must not like much of anything. It is the family family of chips used in tons of arcade games and home computers.

>>4412272
Arcades are coin munchers with all style and no substance. I for one am glad they are gone so we can have fully cinematic experiences.

>>4409878
>A FUCKING GIMP

>>4412225
>code for "much easier game because i'm a skillless cunt who isn't prepared to learn anything challenging, my ego prefers if i associate it with taste"

Is that all you got? Both III and IV are easy, retard, III just have more focused level design and good music instead of meme heavy muhrhul.

You sound like a tryhard teenager bandwagoner who just got intro retro a few months ago and is trying to get a lot of e-credit. Fuck you and your poser asshole.

>>4412225
>I agree but all the capcom snes ports are fuckiing garbage,
As if the Genesis arcade ports aren't garbage.
You're a huge fanboy, you know that? Why not get a Sega tattoo in your ass, you fanboy?

>>4412459
He's not saying the SNES Capcom ports are good though, he's saying both SNES and Genesis arcade ports are garbage.
Nice console warrior mindset though, everyone who isn't one of you, is a "Nintencuckold", nice nice.
Pro tip: some people were idorts.

>>4412459
Nope, don't like Nintendo's ports either.
You see, unlike you, I'm not a fanboy.
Fanboy.

>>4412469

Yes you are.

Ooooo, got 'im.

Haha, fuck off, fanboy. Get your console warring bullshit to /v/, your kind is not welcome on /vr/

This is a pretty good thread.

It's crazy to me how people STILL defend arcade games when they're the precursor to the microtransaction bullshit infecting every modern game. But I guess people defend loot boxes, too. People are fucking dumb.

>>4406839
>Why do so many people these days act like Sega had no good games other than Sonic?

Maybe because all the good games stayed in Japan? twinkle tale as an example is one of the best games on the system.

>>4412834
Generic casual shmup with a lifebar (lol).

>>4412837

Ok, what are some non generic casual shmups for the system then?

>>4412837
It's not casual because it lacks a level select. If you quit you have to start over. Learn your definitions or go back to Gaia.

>>4412849
That's not hardcore that's just bad timewasting game design. It's hard because the game is 5 hours of drudgery isn't good difficulty. Never was.

>>4412849
I'm pretty sure Twinkle Tale had infinite continues, no?
>gaia
Newfag

>>4412842
Shmups with a lifebar are a fucking disgrace, dude. Kill yourself and burn that cartridge while you're at it.

>>4412857
I didn't say it was hardcore you little shit, a hardcore game has permanent consequences and requires planning from the start. The game is also 80-90 minutes tops. Troll elsewhere.

>>4412857
>That's not hardcore

Where are these "hardcore" SEGA Genesis shmups I hear so much about? Are they all toaplan titles?

>>4412880
Whatever they hold no candle to Turbografx shmups.

>>4412837
It's pathetic how people like you derive their life meaning from being able to beat hard video games. Do you even remember what fun is?

>>4412898
>Uh oh, I can't run games from a zip file if there's literally anything else in it, Fusion does.
>Uh oh, it wont accept more than a few keyboard presses at a time, Fusion does.
>Uh oh, Puggsy is literally unplayable beyond the first boss because I can't disable SRAM.
>Uh oh, it takes ages to load up, unlike Fusion
>Uh oh, it disabled windows aero, unlike Fusion
>Uh oh, I can't use diagonals on an xbox controller dpad, unlike Fusion

>>4412905
Fun is what you're mom calls my dick while I'm fucking her.

>>4409859
Agreed, I had a Genesis and was jelly as fuck of the SNES kids.

>>4412947
>>Uh oh, Puggsy is literally unplayable beyond the first boss because I can't disable SRAM.
In my youth I had a rom of Puggsy, but no matter what I couldn't figure out how to bypass the goddamned antipiracy, I thought I had an incomplete ROM and spent ages trying to find a functioning one.

But checking for SRAM in a game that uses passwords, that's a pretty clever antipiracy measure. Ironically it would only affect pirated carts that had enough spine to put SRAM into the cart in the first place.

>your kind is not welcome on /vr/
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA shut the fuck up newfag you don't know a fucking thing about my board.

>>4406839
Of all the games to be jealous of, fucking Golden Axe?

I will never understand the love for that game. Or the series in general. The arcade game is decent, 3 is at least playable, but 1 and 2 are fucking horrific.

I mean shit, you could be playing Streets of Rage 2.

Dude bros back in the early/mid 90s played a little NBA jam and some other sports games but mosty thought of video games as something to fill in time for maybe 20 mins but most of the time their consoles just collected dust as they only had one because their parents bought it for them for christmas/birthday assuming that want one just because that's what kids want.

>>4412801

yea for real. i like a lot of arcade/arcade style games but fuck pay to play.


people just think it's good because it's retro.


>>4412834
this game looks fun, thanks anon.


>>4412905
i like beating really hard shmups but its pretty obvious its a fucking weird thing to be into. dudes who act like its the only real gaems are the fucking worst

>Sega is irrelevant today

Only Sonic is.

>“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
>C.S. Lewis
Because the genesis was marketed as the radical big boy toy, and kids need to validate their maturity by defending it, even though the snes had better platformers, rpgs, fighting games, action-adventures, beat'em'ups, you name it... the only categories I can give to the genesis are racing and shmups because of road rash and thunder force IV, but even then it's still behind the turbografx in the later one.

>>4416192
>giving genesis racing when super mario kart exists
>snes has better beat em ups
You cant fix stupid ill tell you hwhat

>>4406839
Sega games had way better music than snes games

>>4416209
Music depends on composers. Many SNES and MD games had the same composer doing the music.

>>4416204
i like mario kart as much as the next guy, but road rash gave me a better overall racing experience.
snes had final fight, ninja warriors again, the marvel beatmup/platformers, captain commando (albeit being a worse port than the psx's), knights of the round, the better TMNT, undercover cops, MMPR: the movie....
the genesis had comix zone, which was kinda fun but didn't measure up to xmen mutant apocalypse, and streets of rage, which was better than final fight in the second and third installment, but not better than any other game in the list.

>>4416192
Turbo has a handful of top tier shooters that are exclusive. This is slightly offset by a few that are Genesis exclusive. Multiplatforms are better looking and sounding on the Genesis. If the Turbo is a better shooter platform, it is by an incredibly slim margin.

>>4410037
What's it about then, atmosphere?
>Super atmosphere simulator 1994

These faggots won't also admit the ugly truth.

Multi plats were better on the Genesis.

>>4416750
I grew up with MK II on MD but I admit it was better on SNES.
