/vr/ - Retro Games

we don't have room on the board for this

>>5069374
the sega neptune had way better games the the the nintendo playstation! you had toe jam and earl 2, sonic 4, Egypt pillager, behind oasis. what did the nintendo ps have, earthbound 3, yeah that was a flop!

i love 3d platformers and collectathons
Fuck sega and arcade games

As a kid I grew up with all the systems, I see no reason to console war now.

Any recommendations for good Castletroid genre games??

>>5069374
Thank jesus FF7 got released on the N64DD and not that piece of shit PSX

Anyone else still impressed with Sonics transition to 3d? Sega really knocked it out of the park. Those games were so good hardly anyone praises let alone touches the 2d titles anymore.

>>5069374

Was the Playstation the most disappointing launch in history? How did it get swamped by the Saturn? Does anyone here even own one of these things? Who's asshole mom would have been stupid enough to buy one of these.


btw, I heard that on the biggest game of the console (something called "Final Fight 7" or something like that) the main dude gets raped in a hot tub or something, can anyone confirm? I don't know anyone who's played this piece of shit.

>>5069458
I have to admit that looks far more interesting than the final product

ok...

I sure can't wait to talk about Melee and Kingdom Hearts

>>5069585
but we can here in bizarrrororo >RV<

6th gen is fine, lets talk about kingdom hearts fren!

>>5069443

>>5069382

toejam and earl 2 was already on genesis

Why in the fuck did they allow 360 and PS3 discussion on this board?

I know its not retro, but that new Sega Pluto has to be the most amazing system ever made....They had to do something to compete Atarii, and they really out did them selves. If Sony doesn't get it together, they will go out of business. Microsoft was the first company to go bankrupt over this, and if sony doesn't think fast, they will too.

CRT looks ugly compared to original plasma screens

>>5069850
Here at /vr/ inclusion of everybody's childhood matters

I know what you are thinking, "not another 3DO hidden gem thread" but can you really blame me? Last thread hit bump limit so someone had to create the new one.

Can you believe the prices some of these scalpers are asking for on 20+ year old games?

Make America great again, patriots.

>>5069374
why do people even collect physical media? emulation is best

How about that PS2?

>>5069443
I really prefer the classitroid games. The series went to shit with Mega Metroid where they started copying the castlevania gameplay. It was so much better when you could explore subterranean caverns rather than just jumping over metroids with stiff controls.

I love visiting /vr/ for all the latest news on modern games while /v/ has all information regarding games of an older, one may even say retro variety.

And of course, when I say video game - I clearly mean moving pictures as game is the noun used to describe moving pictures in this bizarro world of ours.

am i doing it right? or... as we would say here - is you being this wrong?

>>5069893

That box looks damaged. This is barely worth 6 bucks. Scalpers are scum.

Nobody cares if you call it a Mega Drive or Genesis.

>>5069532
That was only the most popular game in Japan.
Worldwide the most popular game it has was a fucked up driving game where you had to win a bunch of races in arbitrary loaner cars before you could afford a car to take your driving test in.

nobody gives a fuck about RF on CRT

>metaposting thread
>still up after 12 hours
Fuck off with your imported memes.

>>5070306

Honestly, I feel sorry as fuck for the kid who got this instead of a Saturn or N64DD. The Playstation is a goof and has gone down in history as the saddest sack of shit to ever be released.

Stop. Just stop. Nobody ever called it the PS1 or PS or god forbid its fucking awkward full name of "The Playstation." It was always PSX. Just PSX. And no amount of photoshops will change that.

>>5069374
who here is still playing their nomad2 mini in 2018?

Man, does anyone know of good import titles for the Saturn? If only the system didn't tank Japan, we'd have some decent shmups and RPGs for the system. Luckily Sernie Bolar had the guts to say the Saturn was Sega's future and kept it alive in America.

>>5070490
It baffles me how they decided to make the PS2.
...and somehow that was even WORSE.

>>5069374
>mfw Nintendo will never make another good Zelda and Mario game they released on Philips CD-i with cinematic cutscenes.

Wish those game had become immensely popular resulting in endless cashgrabs in the name of video game nostalgia and family fun.

Final Fantasy 6 is good!

>>5070820
Fuck Sernie Bolar, the other day I came across him randomly on the street and he started bugging me about playing Sega Saturn, I was like, dude, you spent your whole life trying to get people to play the Saturn, and the Saturn is already the most popular system of all time. Like fuck off.

How do we get the shoomup fans out of here? Literally press up/right to win. This board is too casual to ever discuss a real genre that takes real strategy, like JRPGS.

>>5071404
Yeah, I also wish these very cool and absolutely based guys at /vg/ would come post here more often. Their knowledge and stoic attitude would be welcome here.

>>5071408
Yeah they're such nice dudes. I'm learning to play for joy right now myself but sometimes it's tough to smile properly at the easy parts so I'm using more save states on my playthroughs like they suggested. I swear I'll get a fun-all this year.

i just looooove jews and non-whites

Tripfags are intelligent and well adjusted people who are respected for their valuable contributions

>>5071795
support like this is why /vr/ is like a family to me

>>5071840
Oh Softpops you know you are always welcome, valued, and loved here!

>>5071243

Saw him streaming on youtube the other day. What a self righteous prick that dude is. Constantly talking about how much money he has, like fuck dude, we get it, you made 450 million dollars off your Sega stock, stop talking about it bro, you're just being a fucking dick now.

>>5071840
you give the best advice dad!

Games are fun and I like playing them more than complaining about remakes on 4chan

Wow, I sure do like games other than JRPGs!

I'm very glad young people are able to experience retro games, I'm also very glad they're very polite about it and not entitled at all!
They even care about how games were originally played and don't rely on faulty emulation, although personally I think they would save a lot of money that way, but hey, the world is wealthy, poor people don't exist anymore in 2018, which is also great.

>>5069374
Golden Sun is the best JRPG.

Glad Tonka bought up Sega after the Master System outsold everything. It just wouldn't be the same toe if I didn't have my metal dump truck video game console filled to the brim with great games about finding hidden images in scenes. So much better then that weird old stuff before they realized only hidden object games where the true master race

>>5069872
At 3DO threads stay on the board for a few days. Gem threads for pic related fill up so fast they hit bump limit in just a few hours.

>nintendrone grasping for a good n64 rpg
With Quest 64, what else could you need. Second highest rated game ever by metacritic. Its a shame that it was never ported to the saturn or PSX.

>>5073792
sorry, the person i was replying to broke the 4th wall, so i felt the need to destroy them..

good bizarro quest 64 post though.

>>5073802
>4th wall break
>I don't know if this thread should be You rage/you lose, but I am trying really hard to not rage. Top quality bantz all. I almost meme'd some of these responses, but am afraid what happens back in the real world with them.
>/4th wall break

>>5073802
What with kids these days saying everything "broke the 4th wall" when? Is it just another term you're using wrong or is it some inside joke?

I feel the hype for games recommended by the mainstream is justified

Can't believe they're adding mario to sega smash. I get that he's kind of iconic for that old company but still, he's not a sega character.

>>5069374
I fucking loved Ura Zelda, but do you think Nintendo will ever leak that weird Zelda Gaiden prototype?

Can we all take a moment to laugh at one of the biggest fuckups in history?
How does this literally-who card game company think it can compete with a shitty "home console" that is just an underpowered arcade with shittier controls and you have to buy each game individually for $40, $50, even $60 each?!
And don't even get me started on Sony's shameful abomination of the mid 1990s.
Who the fuck do these companies think they are that they can compete with the kings of the arcade, Taito, SNK, and Sega, and what's with the misguided idea that people would be willing to play games in their home?

I am just glad that Zoe Q and company saved the video game industry.

Sega CD is going to take the market by storm, and there will be no known survivors when it is over.

I am NOT a faggot!

>>5073851

yeah, youre trying to tell me he didnt break the 4th wall?

let me "break" it down for you.

>>5069458
this post is using the final fantasy renders for the n64 before square decided to move everything to the playstation.
>>5069541
this is a nintoddler breakin the 4th wall of this thread. now fuck off!

>>5074026

>spending 60 bucks to play ONE game
>I can play 10 games for $2.50

What a stupid fucking idea.

Have you played Doom?
It is one of those few games released on PC.
Kinda like mega popular game series on mac called Marathon.

You will immediately cease and not continue to access the site if you are under the age of 18
You also need to dial 911 and tell them you're a danger to your self and others. Right now.

>>5074330
>name-dropping some literally who game to get hipster cred

Nobody cares we're all busy playing Daikatana.

I SURE DO LOVE VIDEO GAMES!

>>5069374
Yes, posting about the original Nintendo DS is perfectly fine.

>>5074339
>You will immediately cease and not continue to access the site if you are under the age of 18
That is only /po/ that has thoes rules. /vr/ Is like the Haight-Ashbury of the internet.

>>5074418
>I SURE DO LOVE VIDEO GAMES!
I do respect your choice in games, and that though our opinions may differ. Please tell your wife and children that I send my best, and will keep them in my prayers.

>>5074342

Have you been playing Dual Orb? It is the "new" hotness.

I love this site, and its users.

>>5074809
It's a global rule kid. GTFO.

we had a great conversation about our favorite retro classics of the 6th generation of video gaming console systems last week :) i love to play video games!

>>5074809
>Dual Orb

Isn't that the one with clown cars and rocket launchers?

Terranigma 2 was the best JRPG of it's decade, I'm happy it beat out Zelda.

>>5069518
Yeah, too bad that Mario really struggled in the 3D department

>>5075249
>It's a global rule kid. GTFO.
Global rule #3 only applies to /po/

>>5075271
>Isn't that the one with clown cars and rocket launchers?
No, Dual orb uses the maraca controllers which is how it got its name. You are thinking of "Cart World Series 2: Barnum & Bailey's Circus tour.
