/vr/ - Retro Games

SRPG if you want to play something other than FFT or TO.

Saturn and N64 are superior.

>>4543002
Come on, don't use Segata to shitpost.

>>4542717
:]

>>4542717
okay I give the psx alot of shit all the time...

But bloodomen is actually a fantastic game and something special, dark, interesting, mysterious, big... fantastic game

Great compilation, arcade-perfect iirc. Prepare to get your shit pushed in.

>>4543037
and star gladiator is something special too.

Tobal is a great game too, but star gladiator has june and I like the athmosphere and different characters much more than tobal.s

>>4543032
Post the farting girl game.

I have a problem with calling anything made by square underrated, but I really wish they'd make a new bushido blade, with online

I hate how the early PS1 games all disappeared from the current "best PS1 games" lists.

Games like Toshinden, Destruction Derby... were system sellers in 1995, and that's for a reason. They're still a lot of fun to me, and the later "mature" games aren't a proper replacement for them, just like Ridge Racer Type 4 can't replace the pure thrill of the first Ridge Racer.

Another early PS1 game that fell into complete oblivion is the faux 3D platformer Pandemonium (faux 3D although it's really 3D graphically, but the characters move on a straight line). It's still very playable and decent to look at, so give it a try.

I love the ps1 and I am on a quest to play games I have missed before moving to ps2 games

Recently played for the first time
>Jumping Flash 1,2
Addictive and simple. Video game feels.
>Klonoa
Great gameplay, style and graphics, retarded story
>Tai Fu Way of the tiger
It was ok
>Nightmare Creatures
Got really boring fast, but I finish it
>Resident Evil Survivor
It wasn't as bad as I expected it to be.
>Gex Enter The Gecko
Fun, shit camera
>Rayman 1
Started ok. Dropped at the later levels, it was getting hard as fuck and I can't be bothered spending so much time if I'm not having fun
>Tomba 1
This game is cozy as fuck.
>Parasite Eve 1,
Why hadn't I played this before? Amazing., Totally recommended.
>Tomb Raider 1
Finally put the time to actually finish it.I had played the demo as a child. Really liked it. Would play again.

Currently playing TR2, it's alright, I'm at pic related area

>>4543234
C'mon, it's a thread about underrated games, don't quote iconic stuff like Rayman or Tomb Raider.

Evil Zone/Eretzvaju. It's an anime fighter made by YUKES. The gameplay itself is very barebones (only attack and block buttons), but the way the story mode is played like a TV show (each character has a different style of TV show), and the charisma of the characters won me over.
I still play it from time to time. I remember I started playing this before I even had any internet, back in 2000, and I've managed to discover most of the secrets on my own (like, you need almost 60 wins to unlock the characters' third color).

PoyPoy 2:
Players compete in tournaments, first choosing a character and equipping magic gloves. Players then fight in arenas by using their glove powers, as well as throwing various items scattered about the stages. Many levels have unique features; the moon level for instance is low gravity.
Rakugaki Showtime:
Players take the role of sprites made to look like roughly colored drawings done in crayon, who duke it out for ultimate supremacy in the arena. This is accomplished predominantly with the use of several types of projectiles, although melee and countering systems are also present.
Panzer Bandit:
Brawler very similar to Guardian Heroes.
Zanac x Zanac:
Top down, 2D, vertically scrolling space shooter. One of the major additions is being able to select from 3 different ships upon starting the game. Each ship has slightly different movement/shooting properties and each have slightly different sub-weapon implementation.
Deception III:
You control the character in a 3D environment in which you place traps to kill your persecutors (who have weapons). It's a real-time game with elements of strategy and role-playing, which allows you to use a system of timing and skill of activating traps through the rooms of a medieval castle as the opponents try to kill you. As you activate the traps, you can link them to activate each other, in way to increase the number of combos.
Tear Ring Saga:
RPG designed by Shouzou Kaga, creator of the Fire Emblem series.
Motor Toon Grand Prix:
Cartoon style racing game, with characters and vehicles representing mostly stereotypical comic book and video game archetypes. The game, both in visual style and gameplay-wise, clearly draws a lot of inspiration from cart racing classics like the popular Mario Kart series.
Adventure of Little Ralph:
2D platformer. Ralph is armed with swords and various magic powers and also has the assistance of a small furry companion. The game's levels are interconnected.

I never fucking see my favorite and underappreciated game mentioned in these motherfucking threads

goddamnit

>>4543834
Games only you played thread?

>>4543845
That's the problem, more than a few have people have played, it got a fan-translation some time ago. And no one gives a shit but me.

I guess it's "Games only you acknowledge the existence of" threads for me now, I've lost hope of seeing it here

>>4542717

Critical Depth, never heard praise about it but enjoyed it as much as Twisted Metal.

>>4543812
>>>4543806
Op here
Exactly why I don't use those words. Gross.

>>4542717

Team Buddies is all you need.

>>4544203
Team buddies is not exactly unappreciated. Just hard as fuck to find.

I’ll see you in hell!

Libero Grande is sadly forgotten. Playing as one unique player in a soccer team is an excellent idea.

>>4544508
seems like a cool game, but I always thought that is one stupid ass sounding name

>>4544496
Man this game is so fucking good. Even today.

>>4544530
It's just regular Italian desu.

Another interesting soccer game was Adidas Power Soccer, which didn't have a lot of success, but it's still big fun:

https://youtu.be/D25dZQ3tYOg

>>4544543
>It's just regular Italian desu.
Dude I'm fluent in Italian, despite not being one, "Libero Grande" doesn't mean anything, it's not a term, it's typical "it sounds cool in Japanese so this is gonna be the title" line of thought

Honestly, "Free Big" or "Big Free", regular italian? el oh el my friend

>>4544550
You're fluent in Italian, but not in soccer-language, apparently.

Libero is the name of a position in soccer, meaning that the player isn't fixed to a single role and can move freely on the field. "Libero grande" means great libero, and that's fitting since you're playing as a libero.

>>4544550
Love when people criticize Japs on their foreign language retardation then act twice as retarded.

>>4544563
That's true, it's not my sport so it's the first time I hear "libero" as a position in soccer, the sweeper. The more you know.

>>4543002
True.
>>4543006
That's my favorite PS game.

>>4543032
fuck you

>>4543231
I have this one is funny is a early 3d game but quite fun.

>>4543234
>Nightmare Creatures
I only played the demo I was adited to that, good gameplay.

>Resident Evil Survivor
for me was too confusing the game

>Tomba 1
really beutiful and long.

>>4543284
I played the demo it was fun with big stages.

>>4544173
I bought this one for 3 Euros.

>>4544496
the demo was amazing same with G-police.

Wild 9 isn't something I see mentioned often. Though I only played it on one of those demo games, I always thought the grappling electric gun thing was pretty fun. I should probably actually play it after all these years.

>>4544616
Wild 9 was a lot of fun. I still have my copy of it.

I like Alien Trilogy.

>>4543032
so this is the true power of psx................

>>4543849
>doesnt post name

Tony Hawk overshadowed it, but Thrasher was pretty sweet

>>4544862
If I do then what's the point?

For that matter, I used to be the one asshole who named it in previous threads, until I noticed it.

>>4544971
True, but the controls will throw you off. BTW, this is the only Playstation game to implement ragdoll physics.

>>4544971
Remeber extreme sports games?

>>4542717

People like you are the worst.

>>4545049
Fuck you, you punk bitch

>>4543234
I'm playing Tomb Raider 2 either anon, now I'm on Tibet , what a great level design this game has, just bought all PS1 TR games.

>>4545051
Sorry. So are going to tell us the game or keep it secret so you can feel like a special snowflake?

>>4545049
>>4545220
Not him, but it's in the filename dummy.

>>4545272
Shit disregard this. Thought he was talking about Steel Reign.

>>4544976
Just came here to say, while I`m not really bothered with how you roll... that you come of like a huge sandy vagina

Demolition Racer and Road Rash: Jail Break, my two favorite console vehicular combat games that rarely get more than a "meh" when mentioned.

X-Men: Mutant Academy 1 & 2 are also solid as stone fighting games that no one even talks about.

And my sister and nephew would kill me for not mentioning Pac-Man World.

>>4543037
>>4543231
>>4544616
>>4544971
All games I've played and enjoyed, especially Thrasher with the best soundtrack ever.

Is Medieval considered obscure?

Sometimes a little jigsaw puzzle can be super comfy and a good way to wind down the day.

No

>>4545571
Nah.

>>4543812
It's the fact that he capitalizes it each time is what makes it so obnoxious.

>>4545059
I'm going to let you know in advance, that 3 has some ass level design. So don't get your hopes up. 4 is God tier though.

Had a mixed critical reception due to being incomplete, poorly translated, and buggy, but damn was it fun to play through the eight characters and their bare-bones storylines. Plenty of hidden party members, side quests, non-linear progression, and a cool combo system. Shame they left so much on the cutting room floor, as this one and its sequel are already solid games that had some potential to be amazing.

>>4546236
>eight characters
Seven, whoops

Vampire Hunter D

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwCWyOTs2R8

Devil May Cry / Onimusha before its time.
If you like action games with pre-rendered cameras this game is for you

Also has great atmosphere and voice acting

>>4543016
Saturn version is better for the most part. PS1 version is a port.

Amazing multiplayer mode if you have at least 3 players.

I miss helicopter games.

Noone wants to talk about games they never heard of.
>>4543582
>Adventure of Little Ralph:
Favorite platformer ever.

Hover Racing is a really good F-Zero clone running at 60fps, supporting multiplayer and all in 2mb.

>>4544508
Super Shot Soccer is an amazing arcade sports game that noone knows.

The soundtrack to this game is more consistently great than any Tony Hawk game ever made.

Holy shit I've gotta play this now.

Just realized a pattern in the sorts of games my dad owned when I was a kid: The guy loved Eidos.

Played this again last week, played way better than I'd anticipated.

>>4546429
They were a somewhat noteworthy company back in the day. I remember they published the PC version of Final Fantasy 7.

Next contribution is the Jet Moto series. They're genuinely difficult, but the way they had you worry about your pitch and angle when approaching a slope felt great and they played really quickly.

Ho-lee shit, that product placement, though.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUaBZ-SA1dA

Destruction Derby already got a mention earlier in this thread.


>>4546431
For sure, between Core and Crystal Dynamics they had some real money making properties. To have survived as a publisher for this long is impressive.

I'm not counting on Crystal Dynamics surviving much longer since they've been put in the same position Core was in before they died: "Make Tomb Raider games until one of them flops, then we'll shut your studio down."

One of my earliest memories is of him playing the Sega Saturn port of "The Horde", not PlayStation but figured I'd mention it as an interesting take on strategy games.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6_sW6-LVgY

>>4546373
Looks nice, but looks like a faster SNES game.

>>4546397
Omega Boost is not underrated.

>>4546462
>Looks nice, but looks like a faster SNES game.
Basically the one of first "indie retro" game.

>>4546462
I was just listing stuff. It's also not a rail shooter.

It's pointless today since we have arcade emulation, but I had a great time with Super Pang Collection back then. Especially Pang 3.

The shocking thing is how I completely forgot the existence of this game until a few days ago, when I launched randomly Pang 3 on FB Alpha.

I have a weakness for many of the old fashion Sound Novels and early 3D model games and this little beauty combines both. You play as a doctor who is treating a young girl after her failed suicide attempt, and she reveals that she is possessed by 4 spirits of ancient Egyptian gods. Most of the game is told in a Sound Novel format with investigative sections taking place in Maria’s house which are similar to games like D or Mansion of the Hidden Souls. As with most Sound Novels of the time it followed a structured path for the first playthrough, with variations based on your choices, and with repeated plays would open up more story paths until you get the true ending. Apparently there is a sequal but I haven’t gotten around to playing it yet but now that I’ve talked about this it’s rekindled my interest.

>>4546373
that webm looks like such a trial and error fest.

>>4546513
Do you know Japanese then?

>>4546580
that's garbage

>>4546539
What? Everything is cleary telegraphed. Every bomb or fireball takes at least a second to hit you. How bad are you at games?

>>4546605
>three minecarts clustered on the scene
>two fireballs come hurling towards the general location of all minecarts
>one arbitrarily chosen minecart is safe

also recommending Little Ralph.
Very fluid animation, good challenge and soundtrack, and it suddenly becomes a 1v1 fighting game at certain points.

>>4546628
also despite only being released in Japan, the official site has an English page
http://www.collavier.com/en/ps_ralph/item.html

>>4543002
if you can read japanese then the saturn is as good as the ps1. n64 is bait

>>4546562
Yes. If you’re into Sound Novels and can read Japanese this is another good one. You play as a real estate agent who is guiding potential customers to a resort in the country side but it turns out to be a haunted mansion. Similar to Maria not only depending on the choices you make but also how many times you play the game you can get different endings, some ending leading to a dead end even if you’ve played the game through 2 or 3 times. I normally don’t like the moe style artwork but it’s still a well written game even if most of the characters are Japanese stereotypes.

>>4546764
The N64 is quality over quantity. Almost every N64 game you come across is at least a 7/10, while PSX has a ton of 5/10's but hardly any really good games. Also N64 had real 3D games where most PSX games were limited to 8 directions and no true analog range sensitivity. No offense to Sonyfags, but the PSX was the weakest of that generation, by far.

>'70s Robot Anime: Geppy-X (Aroma)
Hori shmup - parody of 70s animu. Comes on 4 discs coz there's a fuckload of cutscenes.
>Nectaris: Military Madness (Matrix Software

>Rapid Reload/Gunner's Heaven (Media Vision)
2D side scrolling run n gun ala contra/metal slug etc.
>Tail Concerto (Cyber Connect 2)
Yiff sim. Nah it's a neat action adventure. You travel in a mech and can travel between the different lands in an airship. You interact with the townsfolk gathering clues and frequently battling the black cat gang. You also get a jet pack.
>Kula World/Roll Away/Kula Quest (Game Design Sweden AB)
Puzzle action. Matthewmatosis did a vid so go watch that.
>Dragonseeds (Jaleco)
Monster ranching/training/battlan game.
>SkullMonkeys (Neverhood)

>Bravo Air Race (Metro)
Racing except with planes. Vrooom.

Action Sticky puzzle game. Navigate a perpetually rotating stick through a maze without touching the sides.

>Tail Concerto
I had a demo of this and loved it. Didn't think anything of the cat people as a child, but as an adult I can see myself hating it. Nice blog. :^)

>>4544971
Loved the mode in this where you have to cause as much damage to yourself as possible.

>>4546580

That game was even worse than that half-assed port of Wild Ambition. SNK on the PS1 was a dumpster fire, to put it mildly.

>>4542717
I'm sure you'll think I'm mad for this but this game was amazing

actually would have been remembered as a classic if it came out back then

>>4543037
I hear there's a pc version. Does it cut down on load times? I hate how blood omen has to load anytime you open up any menus or anything, feels like the final fantasy chronicles port of chrono trigger or something. Feels cheap and shitty for a game that was actually developed for the psx

>>4543231
Pandemonium kind of reminds me a lot of Nights Into Dreams. Had a lot of really neat ideas like alternate paths. It is stupid that the game easier to play as the Jester than the mage apprentice

>>4546353
This game was pretty big with the kids my age when it came out. I apparently had terrible taste when I was a kid and preferred the tps army men games like sarge's heroes, but looking back I definitely think that air attack was the high water mark of this relatively lackluster series

Feels like an attempt to make a 3D Platformer ala Rare, completely misses the mark, but it is still kind of fun

>>4545587
I still own a copy of this.

N64 has what? At most 30 good games, most of which your average gamer couldn't even name. At least 20 of which were ported psx games.
Saturn has even less, unless you're a hyper weerb autistic and euphoric fedora wearing basement dweller. Then it's amazing...
PlayStation has easily 50 or more 7or 8 out of 10 games, and another 50 or so 9's. Not to mention 99% of the generation defining games are either exclusives to psx, or got released for it first.

Lastly, who gives a fuck about true analogue support in 3 decent games and another 80 pieces of shit no one cares about? And n64 also has the limitation of carts, which means smaller games, worse sound quality, blurry textures and higher price tags in spite of it all.

N64 is the contrarian choice and best. Saturn at least has lots of enjoyable games to certain people. N64 is a handful of exclusives and then second rate ports.
Even nintendo saw the writing on the wall and ditched the stupid thing after only like 4 years on the market. Opting to have no market presence at all until the gcn came out a few years later. And it was honestly their best choice at that point.

These are facts. Not liking the opinions of old doesn't make them wrong. PlayStation outsold the Saturn, n64 and Dreamcast LPcombined for a reason.

>>4543165
my nigga, this is one of the best games ever made

Hey, quit question, is Croc good? I only played a tiny bit, but the camera is driving me mad.

>>4544987
Grind Session is a rather decent game.

Shame it got absolutely fucked over by THPS2, especially release date wise:

>GS release date: 29/4/00 (US), 25/8/00 (EU)
>THPS2 release date: 19/9/00 (US), 29/9/00 (EU)

My contribution to the thread: Destruction Derby RAW. I don't think it's as appreciated as the first two due to the change of developer from Psygnosis to Studio 33 and the way the cars' changed from hyperspeed streamlined stockcars to very heavy and bulky normal cars, but the track designs are probably the best in the franchise (only challenged by DD2).

>>4548693

I remember falling for the marketing for this and begging for it for Christmas. Then after getting it I sucked so much at games and it was so hard I could barely play it.

Don't know too much about PS1 library so don't know if this is obscure.
Simple to understand and very flashy when fighting, the JP had a high school dating sim with the characters.

Looking back, this game was basic as fuck for an RPG, but it has its charm. It’s also the first time I saw a naked chick’s ass in a video game, so that was pretty mind-blowing at the time.

>>4549453
That's what I thought too but I was willing to give the other anon the benefit of the doubt.

Thank you for clearing it up. Another Japanese game, another weird title, what else is new.

Is not good but at least is interesting, graphics are ok, but controls are so/so. You might take that game as a challenge.

Distributing some courtesy (You)s to games I poured a ton of hours in as a lad. This also seems like the thread to ask about a game on the PS1 I can't name. It was a bigger action game where you controlled various army vehicles in an attempt to fight off aliens. IIRC the alien vehicles had a white aesthetic. You had to destroy enemy vehicles and bases to win the round. People always seem to think I mean Colony Wars, but it was set on the ground and you could switch your controlled vehicle on the fly, à la Battlefield's hotswapping mechanic. Pic unrelated

Blog post time again.
>Crisis Beat (Soft Machine):
3D bashy times. Heavily emphasizes combos and air juggles, and the use of background objects to attack your opponents
>Blazing Dragons (Illusions gaming company):
2D adventure/puzzle conceptualized by Terry Jones. Mostly straight inventory-based point-and-click, but there are several arcade sequences.
>Rogue Trip (Singletrac):
Vehicle combat. Play a post-apocalyptic cab driver competing to take a tourist to "photo-op" locations. Earn money for weapon upgrades and repairs.
>Pepsiman (Kid):
Run along on rails stages collecting Pepsi cans, while trying your best to avoid injury or public humiliation.
>The Unholy War (Toys for Bob):
Has 2 modes. Mayhem mode takes place in a 3D arena in a similar fashion to something like Power Stone, allowing for full free movement of the character. Strategy mode takes place on a hexagonal grid and was a simple turn-based affair where players could buy, move, and attack units.
>Overblood 2 (Riverhill Soft)
Combines Survival, exploration, platforming, puzzle solving, real-time combat, and even a little racing.
>King's Field (The actual first one) (From Software)
First-person, action-adventure RPG.
>Trap Gunner (Racdym)
Strategy game that involves two players in an arena who must outsmart each other by setting various traps and having the enemy get caught in them.
>Incredible Crisis (Polygon Magic):
A mini-game collection. There is a heavy narrative element to the game, which tells the story of a prototypical Japanese family's particularly insane and outlandish day. The story is told from each family member's point of view sequentially so that as you see each character's day unfold, you learn more about the events in the other family members' day.
>No One Can Stop Mr. Domino (Artdink):
Advance through stages by clearing all obstacles and tiles on a given stage. The stages are set up like board games. Once you start moving you can't stop.

>>4550351
Fair enough. Thanks. I had known of it and seen it at Blockbusters, but I don't think I ever played it as a kid. I keep trying to double jump and ending up ground pounding.

>>4542717
I like this even more then command and conquer

I can't decide if I love or hate this game. It requires such an insane amount of grinding in order to obtain the right cards necessary to beat it that it should be considered a form of torture. The way the campaign is set out really limits the possibilities of your deck and by the end you have to rely in the Meteor B. Dragon to have a small chance of winning. It is also incredibly hard to obtain this card. The end requires you to go throught five bosses without saving and they straight out play Ultimate Blue Eyes White Dragon and wipe out my monsters with Rageki... It's insane but the music, the graphics are all amazing and compell me to insist on it. I want to beat it legit, with no exploitation or cheating... It might take me a year though.

>>4553428
I think you just sold me this game, bro. Thanks.

Please post some good PS1 Shumps that can fit on a CD.

Played this game countless times with my best bud as a kid. Shit like hitting vending machines, having Cola come out and drinking to get health won me over big time as a impressionable kid. Or just shooting someone with a gun, then when you were out of ammo, throwing the gun at someone.
Diverse characters, deep move set, branching paths. I would argue it is the quintessential example of a 2D beat-em-up turned 3D.

I remember being mad hype for the sequel. Only to have it be some single player only bullshit.

Just watched a video of this on YT, had never heard of it before. It's literally C&C+StarCraft: The European Knock-off

>Jumping Flash

>>4553428
Good luck anon. If you're going to do the same for DotR it'll probably take just as long thanks to:
>Rank grinding
>Card acquisition & alternate card artworks based on random chance
>A mechanic that lets you delete one card to gain three new ones, that is also based on random chance
>A built-in mechanism for duping cards, that is, you guessed it, based on random chance
>Hidden cards on every campaign map, but only if your deck leader's rank is high enough
>You can only ever legitimately learn two passwords per file, and they only work once
You should also know that there are four CPU oppenents you can play against in VS, and which one is available depends on what's plugged into memory card slot 2 (nothing, PS2 card, PS1 card, PocketStation).

>>4554636
This was too difficult for me as a kid. Never finished the game.

I feel like I've started this game a million times but never got very far

Jade cocoon

Beautiful graphics, but maybe a boring story line
Basically monster rancher meets Pokemon meets Digimon. Could play this for days. Don't see many talking about this here. Sad how much the sequel sucked..

>>4548615
The PC version's gameplay runs really slow, seemingly on purpose because even back when it was new it ran like twice as slow as the PS1 version. There's a version of it with a hack to make it run at PS1 speed out there somewhere. PC load times are instant on a modern pc.

My three favourite shmups on the PS1 are Einhander,R-Type Delta and pic related.

I really liked Colony Wars: Vengeance
the cinematic cutscene were mindblowing for a PS1 game, the story is also quite good if not for the random alien part

A couple more:
>Harmful Park (Sky Think Systems)
2D hori shmup, has co-op.
>Firebugs (Attention to Detail)
Arcade racer, similar to Rollcage.
>Terracon (Picturehouse)
Third-person shooter set in a sci-fi realm where you play as the alien Xed. Face off against the synthetic super-being called the Terracon that has become sentient and is trying to wreck your shit.
>Hermie Hopperhead: Scrap Panic (Yuke's)
2d Platforman
>Monkey Hero (Blam!)
RPG similar to Zelda and Secret of Mana and borrows many ideas from these games. Game play elements include large dungeons, fighting and puzzles.
>CT Special Forces (LSP)
Side scrolling platform shooter that has a superficial similarity to the games of the Metal Slug series.
>Battle Hunter (Success)
SRPG. Kill monsters, get treasures, explore dungeons.

Kingsfield 2

I don't get the point of these threads. If a game is actually good, it will sell well. There's no such thing as hidden gems, just games nobody cared about at the time but revisionists call good to look cultured.

>>4558889
It is a matter of opinion.
or Maybe the majority of people never found out that a specific game was actually good. Thats why it is a hidden Gem. A great game that the majority of people never knew about at the time.

>>4558894
No, if a majority of people thought it was good it would have sold well and be well known. There's no opinion when it comes to number of copies sold.

>>4558897
True but what if the majority of people over-looked a specific game because there was a better(more popular) Title out at the time. The majority was off playing the well known Title and didn't realize how good another title is.

>>4558897
>Popularity = quality
We're reaching levels of mental deficiency that shouldn't even be possible. Then again, I don't know what I was expecting from a namefag who is most likely just fishing for (You)s by being even more of a blight on this board than posters like Sevenleaf or NESfag. Congratulations, you got one from me.

>>4558914
Did you ever consider maybe, just maybe, it's because the more popular title was actually popular for a reason?

>>4558915
I didn't say that popularity is equal to quality I said it was proportionate to quality. Looks like someone can't read.

>>4558921
It could be popular because it is a great game. It could also be popular because of Name brand recognition. If a hidden Gem isn't made by a popular company then it wont get recognized as well as a game made by a well known game company. it would get over-looked. also, the game company that made the game is a small game company than it can't afford to advertise as a larger game company. it's all about marketing.

>>4558935
If something has name brand recognition it tends to get handed to capable, well known developers. When a game is shitty despite the brand it gets forgotten and tends to sell badly so again you're missing my point. A better known company is better known because it has more talented programmers, artists, writers, and other creators. Games with little advertising will still sell well if they're actually good. Five Nights at Freddy's began as a failed kickstarter that made no money but look how popular that turned out because of its quality.

>>4558945
my opinion is that the KingsField series is a great series but it is not a popular series. It's not well known. so it depends on your game genre preference also

>>4558950
It's not well known because it's a bad, clunky, broken game. You can tell yourself it's a good game but there's a reason why nobody cares about it and likes Dark Souls instead.

>>4558945
Don't go so hard on the bait friendo, you're making it too obvious. :^) Dial it back a few.

>>4558958
Let me guess you hate FNAF without having played it just because you can't stand the fanbase in Markiplier's comments for videos you don't even watch. How warm am I?

>>4558957
what about the FPS Disruptor.
thats an awesome game that didn't get popular.
a hidden gem

>>4558962
Not very warm, I picked it up during a steam sale because it was dirt cheap so why not see what the buzz is about? I wasn't that impressed and found it repetitive. Sure it's not bottom of the barrel steam greenlight-tier ass but I just don't think it's that good either.

>>4558981

>shit on every game that people recommend

Fuck off namefaggot

>>4559008
It looks like shit to you, because you are comparing it to modern day graphics. also, graphics are not everything. that game is awesome. one of my favorite FPS games

>>4559023
I've already played every old game that matters. Keep up with the times and play new games as they come out, there are even pixel art ones for ya!
>>4559028
I was talking about the gameplay, not the graphics. But yes the graphics are unappealing too.

>>4559032
I suppose you have never played Disruptor.
I played it plenty of times and I can tell you it is an awesome and fun FPS. great gameplay.

>>4559038
What Sort of friendless loser would play a FPS without online mode? Just buy a PS4 or an Xbox One, old man.

>>4559045
i am genuinely curious as to what exactly drew you to this board in particular

>>4559049
I got the Sonic Collection for PS3 and started lurking in Sega Genesis threads. Just turned eighteen so now I can post in them.

>>4559045
at the time, there was no online mode. it was Ps1.
There are a lot of good 1 player games out there.

Plus if I'm being honest, nobody on /v/ would pay attention to my posts but because this is a smaller board I can actually get noticed.
>>4559054
First-person shooters and single-player don't mix.

>>4559485
Fucking hundreds

>>4553428
I beat this legit when I was a kid, looking back now I realize there was never any strategy involved, I just kept repeating duels over and over until the AI allowed me to beat them. And honestly, once you get to the part where you have to beat those elemental sages getting lucky is all you can do, you have to hope that you get the right cards to get something like a Twin Headed Thunder Dragon on the field and hope the AI doesn't just play a 3000+ monster and wipe you out instantly. Even after countless hours of grinding, when I had a bunch of Meteor B. Dragons, a bunch other powerful monster and great magic/buff cards the final 2-3 duels in the game could just outright decide they don't want me to win that day and there is absolutely nothing you can do.

>>4561472

The AI literally cheats on that level and changes the hand cards on the fly to those being able to counter yours. You literally have to wait until the RNG lands on a number that doesn't make it use them.
So yeah, gotta keep that in mind if you continue and willingly let you be its bitch.

>>4561487
That game throws so much bullshit at you that by the time I found out that the AI literally cheats I was so numb I barely cared.

>>4555883
Not retro but Strike Suit Zero and Strike Suit Infinity play so similar to those games I always felt like they were spiritual sequels of sorts.

>>4544173
This one is really good, but I've been stuck on one of the bosses for awhile
>>4544496
If you like this one make sure to play the strike games too
>>4546353
The N64 version of this one is better, but still a good version. If you like air attack make sure you play the strike games since that's what it's base off of

>>4546429
I wish there would've been more 3D beat em ups like this one

>>4546449
All 3 of the Jet Moto games were fun. I don't get why people don't like the third one.

>>4548693
This game has great everything except the actual gameplay. The music/graphics etc is all top notch but it's kinda boring to play. Worth going through if you like collect a thons though

>>4556586
Love that game.
I managed to complete it but never got around to the sequel.

thoughts on Brave Fencer Musashi and Vagrant Story

>>4561553
they're great, BFM is more beginner friendly

I had always heard back in the day that this game was garbage so I never played it. I bought it a year or so ago and it's pretty fun

I have the posibility of getting a psOne in pretty good shape, however I already have a PS2 fat with RGB cables. Should I still go for the PSOne? Are there many differences between playing PS1 games on a PS2 and playing it on the original hardware?

>>4552195
Worth noting that The Silver Case got a Steam/PS4 release fairly recently. It went completely under the radar, I don't recall seeing a review anywhere and I snapped it up when I came across it on Amazon. Apparently they're releasing The 25th Ward sometime this year as well.

I picked up a chipped ps1 with two dualshocks and all the cables yesterday for €20. The laser tray was stuck but after dissambly of the ps1 and disc reader and cleaning it up and making the tray unstuck, it now works quite well. It came with an illegal copy of arkanoid and I later bought Duke nukem and 007 at a different stall for €10 total. Will using illegal cd-r's damage my ps?

Anyone remember playing Martian Gothic?

what is the most aesthetic demo cd?

>>4569041
Every fucking TV sold in PAL countries since at least the early 90s have supported 60hz. It was a bit more so and so if they supported the NTSC color space, but that doesn't really matter since you would likely just use RGB anyway.

>>4542717
