/vr/ - Retro Games

>>4720332
But if GBC is valid, then this one

I can't remember the game exactly, but I think it was Ricky Carmichael Motocross or something. I'll try and find it. Also, Batman Forever and Spiderman. I'll look at my physical collection in the morning.

>>4720336

6 Golden Coins nigga

Zeldo's Awakening or Pogeymon Red.

Dong '94 and Game 'n Watch are good casual games.

Link’s Awakening
Runner up: SM Land

Got this in the VR gauntlet and I loved every second of it.

This is the only GB game, excluding GBC, game I've ever actually enjoyed and was engaged in.

>>4721287
While my gut instinct is to laugh at you, I'm gonna hold off because I'm also curious to hear your explanation as to why.

>>4721316
It's basically just a point and click adventure game but instead of getting different items and trying to figure out what to do with them you learn different hamster words that you have to figure out the uses for. Day of the Tentacle...but hamsters.

It's a real non-committal, quality, game that doesn't hide anything from you and sucks you into it. You're a hamster, running around a hamster world, making hamster friends, using hamster lingo. I beat it in about 8 hours and was fucking floored at how fast the time flew by. I don't know what else to say other than it's engaging.

Also Miyamoto was a producer on it, which is random and hilarious.

>>4720383
I beat this as a child. Took me 4 tries from 1_1 to beat that hammer throwing motherfucker

I have a high score of 4.8 million and I'm quite concerned about losing it in the near future because GB games are now at the age where their batteries are dying.

>>4721335
That actually sounds great, thanks for the summary anon.

>>4721347
Back it up and then change the battery, homeboy

>>4721349
I know how to change the battery, but enlighten me about backing it up.

>>4721353
This is the cheapest, easiest way:

If you want to actually backup the SRAM to your computer and have it forever that way, I would recommend a cart dumper / flasher like BennVenn's Joey, but it's like $50 before shipping. I have a Mega Memory Card, which is like the Monster Brain but way more expensive now for some reason, it works great.

>>4721217
My absolute nigga

If GBC counts

I realized I haven't actually finished much pure GB games, it's mostly GBC

I collect GB/GBC games (only thing I collect) so I have about a dozen favourites.

But since no one has mentioned it yet, Stranded Kids/Survival Kids is an awesome game.

I'm just a fan of everything hamtaro in general. So when I saw this on ebay with a starting bid of $0.01 I had to get it. A whole week went by with me winning, and within an hour before I won, I was sniped by 5-6 other guys all bidding up from $30. I think it sold for about $46 and I wasn't sure who would actually pay that much for a hamtaro game. I was sure everyone had forgotten about the series by now. But you explanation explains why it went for the price it did.
Thanks anon, I'll have to be sure to pick up a copy when I see it again.

>>4721287
Hamtaro games for GB / GBA were made by good developers like AlphaDream, so it's not accident if they turn out to be good games.

>>4720743
that pic is making me really uncomfortable

not just my favorite game boy game, one of my favorite games period

Also, SML3: Wario Land

ok I know you little shits loved this game.

>>4722817
>not Blue

>>4720336
heh I was playing this game yesterday while waiting for my dr appointment

Vollyfire
I've never seen it mentioned and I only know it exists because it was on a multicart my dad brought back from overseas.
I've sunk far more time into that one than anything else.

>>4721217
Nigga thornberry, i had this as a kid. I remember playing it on long drives through the mountains. You rox my cox

>>4722817
I was a senior in high school when it came out and I was certain that it was just a passing fad. I never cared for it.

I'm just realizing how long the GB's lifetime was. I was still in Elementary school when I got one and was still playing new shit for it in high school.

most of my other favorites were already posted

>>4722817
Fucking loved it, but I've played it to death. DQM is still fun to go back to since the dungeons are randomized and there's such a ridiculous amount of monster combinations to play around with..

>>4720336
>that weird beta game easter egg that works on regular Game Boys

>>4720272
I guess Dream Land 1. I haven't played nearly enough GB/GBC games. I didn't jump on to handhelds until GBA.

>>4721217
2 and 3 were both excellent. Perfect pick-up-and-play games.

Come on, people. How are you guys missing the real best game?

>>4723008

>>4722838
Wow, a legitimate piece of shit. I don't even feel bad for you, the utter awfulness of this game is apparent within two minutes from starting the game.
I do however have some nostalgia for it because of its presence on multicarts, similar to Amida or actually good Heiankyo Alien

>>4721347
Just take a picture and upload it to the Internet, geez

>>4720336
Patrician taste my friend.
I still play the 3DS rerelease from time to time.

>>4722345
I always see people talking about this game. Is it that good?

>>4724012
It's very good.

The game starts out with the first four levels of the original Donkey Kong, but when you rescue pauline, there's a bait and switch where DK gets back up and runs off with Pauline, and then there's like 94 more levels.

But those 94 levels aren't like the original arcade game, they're a lot more puzzle focused. You need to figure out how to reach a key in each level and transport it back to the door while avoiding enemies and traps, with the occasional boss battle with DK ( and eventually DK and DK Junior )

Some of the levels are super tricky. There's also a lot of extra moves that Mario can do, which are taught to you through little cut scenes between worlds ( though I don't believe they tell you which buttons to press, but they're not hard to figure out )

Honestly, I only recently learned of this game, and it's made me extremely sad that it's not a style of game that Nintendo follows up on, instead, choosing to make more shitty lemmings knock offs with the Mario Vs Donkey Kong series.

>>4720332
Has that one hacker finished the DX version of the game yet? I've been waiting so long to play this game because I thought he'd deliver. I was so disheartened when he put everything on hold for Mario Land DX.

>>4720272
I liked the Super Mario Land series.
SML 2 and 3 (Wario Land I) are my favorites.

This was probably my most played video game when I was a kid. I brought my Gameboy where I could, and this was my game of choice. I haven't actually played this in a very long time, can't say if it holds up or not.

>>4720272
I've been itching to start hunting down old gameboy color games but I'm a bit nervous about how much the average cartridge goes for

I actually have an old copy of silver & gold but the battery died ages ago anyone know how much it would cost to repair the charge

>>4722876
Could the deluxe version have two player's using the gamelink?

>>4724221
GB/C games are actually pretty cheap, as far as retro shit goes. I recently got back into it. Also, changing the batteries costs *tens* of cents if you have a soldering iron, and it's caveman level soldering too. My local overpriced retro game shop will change cart batteries for $5, if that give you an idea.

>>4724245
there a "vs mode" that seems to be cable based but i've never done it. all i care about is beating everything in challenge mode.

>>4724103
It does. Lately there has been many people that kind of underrate it, mainly fans of other installments of the Wario games, but honestly it's still one of the best original GB games.

>>4724012
Yes, play >>4722376 too. Pretty much same dev team. Really high quality games.

>all these posts
>no Crystalis

Nigga

>>4724103
Slow.

Cute fun game. Short and sweet, it hits right the spot when you just want to have some healthy fun.

>>4724221
Unless it's something absurd like Shantae or soemthing super popular like Pokemon/Zelda/Mario, Game Boy games are usually super fucking cheap. There are a few legitimately rare games that are $30-$40, but those often aren't that fun anyway.

>>4724746
>tfw playing it on the super gameboy at 1.5x speed

>>4720272
My favorite's actually Link's Awakening, but here's a damn fine puzzle-platformer

>>4721347
ANON GET OUT

>>4721347
Billy Mitchell browses /vr/?

Robopon

Do not look at me like that, it is even more fucking easy to break than Pokemon Red and Blue FFS. Pegs=OP as fuck.

I do want a ROM of the game that fixes the problems with the internal clock though. Can't reach Illusion village or even do nighttime hunting.

>>4722302
Why?

>>4720346
why this over the superior Wario Land 3?

>>4724736
that's because gbc crystalis is an embarrassment to the original

>>4722284
Im not saying this game isnt great or anything, but its a shame that it didnt sell better. Nintendo drastically overestimated the sales this game would get and thus overproduced it. Thats why its still possible to find new, sealed in box copies at MSRP to this very day.

Bomberman Collection, if compilations count. It's four Bomberman games on one explosive cartridge. How can you beat that?

Otherwise, I'll say R-Type.

>>4721295
I have the sequel for GB as well. It was originally released for Famicom, then ported over to GB with a few extras.

>>4723008
I still have mine! Shit was so cash

>>4726178
I didn't know that the sequal was ported to the gameboy. I played the famicom version and it didn't have the same charm as the original Gargoyles Quest and I couldn't get into it for some reason. I'll have to download the GB sequal and give it a spin.

>>4724897
Why?

>>4723027

>>4726380

It's a Japan-only title, FYI. Although there is a translation hack that simply inserts the NES script into the ROM.

The levels seem somewhat scaled down to accommodate the smaller screen, but view distance is still something of an issue in some stages. To get around it, the game gives you an 'astral projection' ability that lets you examine your immediate surroundings in case you might otherwise stumble into an unforeseen pitfall.

>>4720573
Mah nigga

>>4724961
Linkle

>>4726982
You'll have to elaborate further, I was a hyrule warriors beta tester and didn't pick up the complete version of the game because I already paid for it once.

>>4726063
Yeah, DKC3 was already getting less attention than its prequels because of its late release on the SNES but added with the idea that most SNES to GB 'ports' are inferior it was more or less doomed to stay in the shadows. A shame indeed because I feel it's actually the best from the three DK Land games, maybe even better than the original DKC3 because the levels are less gimmicky.

>>4726546

>>4722284
Nice. First game I ever owned was DK Land 1

Ok so nobody has posted Dragon Warrior Monsters, guess I have to.

This game man

>>4727975
One of the few cases where arbitrary localization changes actually improved upon the game. The JP version had Bomberman fighting off a generic palette swap of himself instead of Wario.

>>4726382

>>4720272
Kung Fu Master is pretty good

Anyone else wish there was an ability to disable the GBA SP's L and R buttons entirely in GB mode?
So many time I've nudged the L button accidentally, and got thrown off by the change.
R-type DX is the worst for this to happen on.

>>4728225

Keep a GB/C around for your pre-GBA stuff. I still have my Pocket nearby. The screens are actually a lot easier to see than the non-lit GBA screen, and worm lights give you a perfect degree of illumination. For some reason, the GBA's screen seems very prone to glare.

>>4720336
>>4720346
My men.

>>4720383
I remember beating whole game during taking a shit.
Me legs feel numb after that.

>>4728237
Its a good idea, and if I find my clear purple gbc in the loft, I'll bring it down and get a worm light for it to play in my room.
But the SPs small clamshell form factor is perfect for putting it in my work jacket and playing it on work breaks. I just take the everdrive gb cart out first and tuck it in next to the GB loose.
I just wish there was a secret button combo or something that disabled the L and R button in GB mode.

>>4728225
This doesn’t help probably, but if you play GB/C games on a GBA flashcart, the L and R buttons are disabled (unless you press them both at the same time, but this just pauses the game).

I never had a GB/GBC while growing up and was always jealous of the other kids.

This thread made me realize I didn't miss out, these games look really shitty.

>>4728024
lmao

Got it for Christmas when I was seven, having bought a Game Boy Pocket with fucking Kool-Aid points.

>>4730112

Pinball games are the shit. Have you played any of Naxat's Crush games?

>>4727971
Excellent taste

>>4722817
Hehe, it sure feels like "no one must know my love for the original pokémon games - the thread" in here

>>4730118
Should I import this? I was under the impression that there weren't any good virtual pinball games on the SNES (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaki_Crush))

>>4730156

Jaki Crush is pretty good, but I think Alien Crush and Devil Crush (or preferably Devil Crash MD, which is the Gen/MD port with extras) are more worth the investment. Some of these may be on VC.

It's not my favorite by a long shot, but there's something special about it

>>4730946
Same with this

mide faboride gemm boys geameds ids podemans

>>4730946
Probably because it was developed by Natsume. Who just made lots of really good, but sort of niche games.

>>4730118
Likewise, fren.

Is the current TCG2 English patch accurate, or should I keep waiting on this guy to finish his? http://tcg2.luminaskies.net

>>4730126
Whoops, see
>>4731046

>>4720332
I'm playing this right now translated and I really like this game.

>>4731046
I've played the current English patch many time over without any problem, and I can't easily deduce what the new translation aims to do differently from the first. Also, he seems to have worked on it for over eight years so it might not be done anytime soon.

I would suggest just playing the one currently available, it gets the job done.

>>4721287
Oh man I miss this game, I got it in a local flea market but the cartridge got corrupted
I don't know if replacing the battery will do the work

This is by far the most underrated Megaman game.

>>4724771
Why did Sunsoft have to fall over in quality after they made fighting games?

>>4731058
Yup. Beat this game just now. I recommend it. But expect a puzzle adventure-platformer more than a proto-links awakening

>>4731230
Sounds good, thanks anon

2 deserves the hate it gets, so it's not underrated. 5 deserves the love it gets, but everybody gives it rave reviews, so it's not underrated either. I'd say 3 is the most underrated one: it's on par with 4 and 5, but people seem to forget about it for some reason.

My favorite GB game is probably Pokemon Gold.

But as an aside, I've been playing a ton of Catrap and I love it.
Cute and fun little puzzle game.
no one fucking seems to know it exists

>>4736985
Never heard of this, but it looks pretty fun. I'll give it a shot sometime.

Not really. Pretty much every original gb game listed here is on there except Sunsoft's GB Batman game.
I should imagine the GBC list will be more controversial.

My fucking neger
I one hundred percented that game as well as its sequel, autism-tier puzzle game of the best kind.

>>4721474
You rule! I was about to post this one and Kid Dracula. I got a lot of ending for Stranded Kids but to this very day I never got the PERFECT ending. I think the girl (was playing the boy) died on me or something. There is this massive desert and I am sure there is something hidden in there but I have never found it.

This is such a fucking normie thread. I am really disappointed. Just very very few good replies. Doesn't seem like there are any Game Boy experts on here. Just naming the usual suspects. It's as if you asked for favourite Xbox 360 (or whatever) game and people would tell you: COD and Fifa.

Disgusting taste you guys have here. Educate yourself a bit more on the GB.

>>4742985

>>4742985
The GB has the most casual fans of all retro systems and they always get butthurt when you point it out.
What do you like so far in this thread and generally?

>>4742985
The usual suspects are the usual suspects for a reason man. Games that aren't popular are usually shit, and the gameboy has very few actual hidden gems.

>>4742985
What are some obscure ones you enjoy?

Someone already posted it on this thread but I'll post it too, fellow anon you aren't alone

>unironically the best action-platformer on the system

>>4745307
I like the fact that one person said Stranded Kids and another person said Kid Dracula. Those are both amazing games nobody ever seems to talk about.

>>4745307
So hey it is me let us talk about the best GB games. Like I have already said Stranded Kids and Kid Dracula were already named. Whoever mentoined those knows his shit. Also respect to the person saying Donkey Kong because it is an amazing game. When I played it for the first time when I was 12 I was blown away that a full massive game awaited me after I beat the original stages. There is a GBA "remake" or whatever you want to call it...maybe even sequal for the GBA but they just ruined it. There are little Mario doll tolls coming from the Mario doll toy factory and ...what the fuck?! How the fuck could Nintendo ruin such a great game with such BS. Now lets drop some names of games you never mentoined because you are a bunch of faggots. Of course I must be trolling because you guys don't know shit and the games I am about to name must be part of my troll answer as well. Are you really that fucking stupid? Nobody mentoined those games in this thread and they are good games which means you guys suck. Anyways either you are too young or you just forgot about them but seriously they are good games so play them:
Kwirk also known as Amazing Tater
Avenging Spirit
Batman: The Animated Series
Bonk's Adventure
Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge
No DuckTales 1 or 2? Seriosly? Those games are amazing and they have a different level layout than the NES version. I also prefer Darkwing Duck on the Game Boy.
The Smurfs and Asterix 1 and 2 are both great games too just like Lucky Luke.

>>4720272

>>4747002
Those platformers are certainly not much more unique than what is already given in this thread, but still slightly better.
I definitely appreciate your appreciation of the Euro license games. Great music and nice platforming. Smurfs and Lucky Luke definitely deserve more recognition.

>>4720272
My favourite is probably Survival Kids: Kotou no Boukensha

>>4748784
Well I am European and I used to love Infograms games. I always loved their music and I had to shit bricks once I found out it was ONE Spanish guy doing all the music and programming and also graphics. So no wonder the music always sounded great / the same. I've once found his Sound Cloud and I even messaged him on Facebook. I forgot his name. Alberto something. Would be awesome if someone could link me again.

>>4747005
You mean my entire text was copy and paste or what? How the fuck am I trolling? I am listing actual games that hadn't been listed before so in WHAT way is that trolling? Games are good, no one mentioned those before.

>>4721474

14 years is pretty retro to me

Probably harvest moon or one of the ff, there was a really cool fishing game that I think was released by the same company that did harvest moon but not sure

>>4751337
For real, was super Nintendo not considered retro in the GameCube era? I think it's about time we open the gates a bit more

>>4751337
There isn't an official definition for retro.
On /vr/, retro means pre-2000s.

>>4751337
The Gameboy Advance wasn't officially discontinued until 2010, so that's really just 8 years. Also, the games were directly playable on the DS which ran until 2014 IIRC.

>>4751390
>There isn't an official definition for retro.
I always took it as 2 decades old, but you are correct that there is no official designation. I see "retro" as something an adult may have had growing up as a youth. Basic "back in my day" type of stuff.

>>4721474
This game is incredible.

>>4729508
why was it that bathrooms always had the absolutely best light to play GB?

Hell yeah this guy rules. It's crazy the amount of stuff he did on the GB/GBC alone, coming across his music was always a treat.

>>4724052
Yeah, the first gb Donkey Kong is one of the best games ever. The subsequent Mario DK games are all garbage.

>>4752776
12 years of daily exercise will do that to you.

>>4724652
Too bad the original team is no more.
The only other game that compares is the VB one. Unfortunately Nintendo doesn't care enough about Wario to make a new proper game with him.
