/vr/ - Retro Games

>>5946221
Hi Frank,please go back to Twitter

>>5946221
probably not,
but the atari does have some excellent titles

i dont have a flashcart as most games are dirtcheap/free and wont be downloading as emulation is probably shit for the twitch-gameplay the 2600 requires (analog latency)


harmony cart can probably run the rom though

>>5946221
It's very unfinished. The city section can literally RNG you to a game over with zero recourse, especially on later loops.

/thred.

They'll see me as all pixelated and with a minimal color palette? What did he mean by this?

great, another rare prototype game I will never personally play got finally dumped

>>5947398
That two digit IQ is showing.

>>5947417
they live in a pixel The Matrix world where people are represented in pixel

Kurt Katala really is a dumb motherfucker

>>5947398
What a bunch of faggots

>>5947385
90s kid here, you know what Atari game i actually like....River Raid.

>>5946221
Finally! Said no one.

>>5947498
solid choice, i remember playing the shitty pc ports on dos as a kid

adventure, defender, and ms pacman are my favorites

>>5947518
This, lmao at 'high profile'. It's a bunch of losers who need to make up some feeling of accomplishment but don't want to actually do anything productive for the world.

>>5947398
HG101 has been total cancer for well over ten years, don't know how this surprised anyone.

>>5946221
Looks real nice with varied game play I'll probably check it out

>>5947390
That's true of most release VCS games too though

>>5947398
>I'm going to start a revolution and get a president impeached by posting more shitty video game reviews!

What a dumbfuck.

>>5947398
>tfw HG101 was one of the most invaluable resources for import gamers in the web2.0-era and now it's come to this

>>5947739
There was some decent articles on there at one point in time, and their coverage of Korean PC/Arcade games was generally pretty good.

It's been a absolute mess for years though, and I legitimately have no idea who the intended audience is anymore. Does anyone even listen to that podcast they have like 2000 fucking episodes of?

>>5948037
I feel you, buddy. I never even used the forum but the shit is noticeably creeping into the articles now.

>>5947398
>get bored on a long bus ride
>decide to read their Double Dragon article to kill time
>won't shut the fuck up about how sexist the plot is

>>5948063
Turning point was when they realized "oh shit, the amount of retro games is finite so we can't do this forever" and decided to feature faux-retro indie games. Re-education prolly happened soon after.

>>5948063
>I legitimately have no idea who the intended audience is anymore

>Be late 20s/early 30s Games Journalist
>Have limited life experience due to career choice
>Write about le epig 8-bit retro games
>Don't realise many of the people who played those games and could be your audience by now have achieved massively more than you ever will in life and are completely immune to infantile far-left politics and just want to read about videogames
>shit everything up with your personal beliefs anyway
Every time.

>is atari game good
obviously its unplayable garbage

Republicans should unironically be gassed and have their bloated corpses incinerated

>>5948368
>Republicans are Nazis so they should be put in a gas chamber
lol?

>>5948368
imagine being so retarded that you're not conservative

>>5948854
Imagine thinking Democrats aren't conservative. Imagine thinking Republican policy does anything except suck the dicks of the super wealthy.

>>5948249
>obviously its unplayable garbage

>>5948868
Dont pretend that any home console pre NES is worth going back to

>>5948893

>>5948865
imagine being unemployable and blaming capitalism for your shortcomings in life & being a disappointment to your family


>>5948893
stop posting

>Cuckcore gaying 101 posts deleted
Ah, what's wrong Kurt?

>>5948368
agreed.

>inflammatory HG101 posts are gone
mama mia

>>5947498
i also liked Pitfall, that spider-man game, enduro, hero and pole position.

I have especially fond memories of Keystone Kapers. I remember back then i was just really impressed by video games that had "levels" not like levels the way we think of them today but like physical levels you could get to with stairs or an elevator. So those stairs in Keystone Kapers really astounded me, hard to believe but true.

I also liked Squeeze Box, and love it more now as i see it as a video game representation of existential dred. No matter what, that criminal is never getting out of his prison, the challenge draws hard and harder as the time goes on, until finally he is killed, and satan dances on his grave.

>republican policy is about supporting the wealthy and penalizing the working class
>vast majority of republicans are blue collar laborers

>democrat policy is about supporting the working class and penalizing the wealthy
>vast majority of democrats are wealthy celebrities or businessmen

Can someone explain this to me?

>>5949285
You're confusing public faces with overall support bases. The majority of dems are middle class. The majority of republicans are working and upper. Everybody's pretending to be the everyman while the other side is the elite.

Some games are fun. The 2600's paddles are pretty neat to use for Kaboom and such.

>>5949319
atari 2600, colecovision , intellivision, bally astrocade, pcengine etc

you must be 18+ to post here

>>5946798
I fucking wish Twitter never existed. It's sucked to watch online "content creators" turn into batshit crazy fucktards in the last 10 years.

I've "known" Frank since the turn of the century and his "work" on Lost Levels and related stuff is great. He's fucking insufferable as a person now.

>>5949341
does the PCEngine Predate the NES? PCE was 87

>>5949369
i agree with you anon but also pour that anger into me and tell me who this frank is and why he is bad now, is it because he hates our national embarrassment of a president?

I mean there are people excited about finding old film footage from the silent era and there are tv shows being recovered when they thought was lost. So historically this is just as nice as those. Whether it's enjoyable doesn't really matter honestly. 90% of all media is complete trash. Did you look at Disney+ twitter flood of some of the most trash movies ever made? This is no different but rather have it found than lost and no one could ever view it.

>is it because he hates our national embarrassment of a president?

Go back to /pol/ and get your political crap out of here.
