/vr/ - Retro Games

>>6369049
I've never met anyone else that knew this game existed, much less played it.

>>6369049
Ive made at least 3 threads about this one on this board over the last year or so and never got a single reply

Blues Brothers, by Titus. Everyone always talks about the terrible SNES Blues Brothers game, aka Blues Brothers 2, aka Blues Brothers: The Jukebox Adventure. But I have never heard anyone talk about this sweet Amiga and MsDOS Blues Brothers. There's also NES version which I never played, but according to gameplay I've seen it looks pretty good too.
Amiga version is the best.

>>6369049
They put Lil Jon on the cover. What were they thinking?

>>6369231
I've played only the GB version, it was pretty bad

>>6369049
I don't know anyone who plays & enjoys this game as much as I have.

>>6369310

>>6369049
That looks kinda cool, I think the concept is like 8/10 but the actual game (on a sunsetting gen4 system) could never have been more than a 5/10.

>>6369049
>games i think only i played because my parents keep me lock in the basement
based parents

only nintendo games are retro

>>6369353
game is pretty fun when you learn to play especially co-op.

>>6369546
Everybody played Commander Keen.

>>6369126
I actually played this. My parents bought a second hand computer at the turn of the milenium, and it loaded with Kega98 and wild assortment of genesis roms (everything from Sonic to japan only DBZ games to this)

>>6369126
>>6369306
>>6369310
>>6369546
Played 'em

>>6369306
All I know them from are their cameos in Blue Stinger.

>>6369049
Nice try/vr/
Get on my level!

>>6369764
>Blue Stinger

Excellent taste.

>>6369049
Excuse me, sir. Please excuse my ignorance in this matter. I find myself in an embarrassing predicament. This cover has me befuddled and perplexed. If it wouldn’t be too much trouble, could you kindly explain to me what filthy niggers know about street hockey?

>>6369049
If anyone else actually played this, my mind will be FUCKED

>>6369828
How ironic.Plastic garbage for a film about the environment

>>6369775
rented this at least a dozen times when I was a kid

I think this was the first PC game I ever saw/played, never see it mentioned though

>>6369894
It's a great would-be sequel to Wolf3d. It gets mentioned sometimes, but kind of flew under the radar since it came out after Doom.
That's the box art for the 2013 remake by the way.

>>6369894
Only played demo but was legit

>>6369049
>NO PARKING ANYTIME
I love how whichever first paid job out of community college graphic designer they hired to make this apparently didn't think to have it as a "NO SKATING" or something sign to add to the intended rebellious vibe of the art.

>>6369984
i don't think they hired anyone for that, they probably just saw the office joke cover and went with that

Major Stryker for dos

>>6369049

>>6369231
a lot of amiga games played really well

>>6369224
bought it in 2000 and beat it all, good times

I played a shittons of obscure eastern europe and arabian C64/Amiga/DOS games most of you ignoreburgers don't know shit about

>>6369224

>>6369049
>posts AVGN game

>>6369775
Have any of you played this Sokoban-like?

Don't know how I got it, possibly from mom's friend's greybeard husband. I found it pretty fun to play while watching music videos

>>6369306
can confirm, it was fun
got it in a bargain bin at toys r us

>>6369894
Not only this is a very famous game, but you posted the remake instead of the original

it's pretty /m/

>>6370248

my late brother had this game.

I remember we both got to get a game from electronic boutique and he got that and I got quest for camelot. we were both pretty happy with what we got.

Everyone played Scorched Earth but how many of you played Tank Wars

>>6370248
>Rockstar
What the hell

>Bible Adventures
Lame ass Christian family gave me this for my birthday. They also have our toothbrushes and chik tracks on Halloween. But I played the shit out of this game.

>>6370541
>They also have our toothbrushes and chik tracks on Halloween

And Christians have the audacity to wonder why their religion is dying out.

>>6369762
Sweet.

>>6369764
Yup. Blue Stinger is another great game for the Dreamcast.

>>6370243
I bought mine on eBay.

>>6370541
I actually loved this game as a kid, I thought Noah collecting a stack of animals was really cool. One of the first games I ever played.

>>6370728
>why their religion is dying out
it isn't though

>>6370728
There's a difference between "dying out" and being murdered by crazy ragheads, crazy raghead.

>>6370541
My neighbor had Joshua for NES. I enjoyed playing it.

>>6371412
There are still a lot of conversions all over the world despite the mass murder of Christians in the middle East.

>>6369546
played the hell out of this game in the 90s

>>6370205
My hats off to you, those final levels look disgustingly evil. Well its a Monolith game after all so...

>>6371472
>the middle East
The "religion of peace" is murdering people all over the world

Never seen this posted ever on /vr/ ao I'm assuming I'm the only one.

>>6371649
Forgot pic

I'm seeing alot of games posted that arent games only you played tier and were fairly well known back in the day. some of you people must forget just cuz your 2 friends didnt play them doesnt mean others around the world didnt play them.

Always liked Moraff games and their shitty, gaudy art styles.

Platformer where you're a (teenage?) Frankenstein with rad shades, slick sandals, and lots of 'tude. Created by the developers of the Dragon's Lair sidescroller and Virtuoso for 3DO.
Not really sure why I spent my allowance money on this. I mean, I did like horror movies, but I wasn't into classic monster flicks. Maybe it was praised for its graphics in the gaming mags and that's why I bought it. Who knows really.

>>6371657
b-b-but muh youtube told me it was a hidden gem and i could join le secret club if i shitposted about it

>>6371649
>>6371652
Scorched earth is a classic.
I know way less people who have played Tank Wars

anyone else played this?

>>6371652
>>6371828
Despite their popularity, there's so many successors of these that it's rare to see discussion of any specific one more than a mention.

>>6371901
it's like tetris games, everyone brings up the gameboy version as kind of the 'default' (but not original by any means), but there's many excellent variants of the game, there's no one best variant

>>6370541
Still have this stupid thing. My favorite is that it was the only game I ever saw that was outside of the nintendo seal of approval

>>6371828
i've actually only played tank wars
i did know one person with scorched earth, though, though by that point (early 00's) the gameplay was generic enough that i could get any number of free modern variants

>>6371921
Tengen NES version is the "default" as far as I'm concerned.

Vapor Wave incarnate

Superhero League of Hoboken. I don't think I've ever seen it on this board.

>>6370262
I did. Hotseat with my bros, good times.

>>6371684
C'mon man, Terminal Velocity was well loved for at least a little while.

>>6371934
By the early 00's Pocket Tanks was pretty much the go to artillery game.

Anyone remember this gem?

>>6372043
I suppose, I just never see any discussion around it.

>>6371684
i haven't played terminal velocity, but i have played microsoft fury 3, which from what i understand is sort of the same thing, just made for windows 95

Frozen Cow Industries forever

>>6372073
Yeah this used to come default on iMacs right?

>>6372104
It got panned for being too much like TV, but it's not a bad game.

>>6372104
I used to play the demo for this with my dad handling the flight controls and me spamming the fire button on our first pc, pretty much the only game he ever played, great memories. Never played terminal velocity, so it's still one of my favorites since i have nothing to compare it to.

>>6370946
you could stack like a motherfucker i loved it lol

>>6369049
At least 20 hrs.

at least played to completion

I remember when "The Internet" was starting to be the future that my dad got one of those transparent macs, and some magazines aboout computers and the internets with demo cds. I played the hell out of those demos; I remember some really obscure like these pics:

>>6372621
I have read that this never became a full game

>>6372625
I played a ton of Ambrosia games just as demos. Now they are forever gone... *snif*

>>6372629

>>6372636

>>6369149
I actually played this, it feels like something that would usually stay Famicom-exclusive with its obtuseness, reminded me of a jankier Milon's Secret Castle.

>>6372641
If anyone wonders yeah, Im samefagging.

I also remember a game that obsessed me a bit that I cant findd nor remember its name: it was a "3D" shootemup "spaceship vs aliens" style that changed camera every level: first was pèrspective, then top down, then sideways.
Between levels there were "gates" yoou needed to enter to pass on another level, but you could miss them just to have fun. I made a shitty drawing pic related, if it rings a bell for someone.

>>6372040
nice, it was on the computers at my elementary school and was the most popular game by far
>>6371901
warheads was my favorite variant probably

>>6371690
>a licensed pacman game released to the arcades and at least a dozen other platforms is somehow fucking obscure

>>6372652
do you have an approximate age? platform?

Advergames were comfy as fuck and there were quite a few gems in Germany back in the day. I played the shit out of some of these. Especially pic related and Das Erbe, Helicopter Mission, Victor Loomes and Energiemanager.

>>6372675
For Mac, maybe Windows too. Around 2000. Nothing much more. I'll dive in repositori sites to see if I can see something.

>>6372696
check this site out
http://www.similartype.com
i ran into it just last month and found a game i was sure i would never find again, since i (also) only had a vague idea of what it looked like, plus it was a kind of pacman clone, which there is a billion of, like your space invaders clone

>>6372749
>>6372696
speaking of space invaders clones from 2000 on windows, one i used to play was Bugatron, i don't think it had those alternate camera angles.. but i might be mistaken, plus i was a poor fuck so only played the demo

>>6372749
>>6372764
Almost, almost... yet I havent find it. Thanks anyway.

i've never seen this mentioned anywhere, but i don't have any idea how well known this game it
pretty nice monkey ball-esque physics puzzle game

>>6369049

I don't really know why TD wasn't more popular, I couldn't see much wrong with it, maybe a little boring but it didn't have glaring flaws or anything afaik

>>6369049

>>6371987
To this day I've never found another person who's even heard of this game, much less played it. Sure, there are a couple 'quirky retro' review sites which know it exists, but fuck them.

>>6375298
hey i played tha-
wait no, i only played the second one

they're not exactly a household name, but they're not super obscure either, i don't think

>>6370229
Yep. On a monochrome monitor with a Hercules card

>>6370728
>their religion is dying out

>>6369049

>>6369149

This fucking game right here

>>6369224
Literally the only reason I know this game exists is because of this video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGC09B810Yk&t=3m18s

I know for a fact this was the last ps1 game I ever rented it was in 2004 and I have never seen another copy untill last year when I finally found one in the wild

>>6370728
>>6370541

Chick tracts are based and accurate. Consider the alternative. Go to SomethingAwful or reddit. 4Chan is a Christian forum.

>>6369775
Still unbeaten

Just looked this p.o.s. up, supposedly it was "well loved" in its community. I suppose that's somewhat credible, seeing as it had a random port onto the gameboy many years after its release. But I always hated this crap.

As a 9 year old, I wanted a game that was fun and snappy, so this was consequently the most horrible game in my collection. I'm not prejudiced against the genre either, I even had an unusual patience for adventure games at that age. But this shit was un-intuitive, unfathomable, and so obtuse that it was abjectly miserable. I could never figure out what in the fuck you were supposed to do, and never got more than a few screens in to the game before dying or being stuck.

What makes the memory even more sour is how close I came to getting a really cool different game, but ended up with this. My elementary school had a "toy swap" event day, where you could bring in toys and games that you didn't want, and could trade with other kids in class. There was this poor black girl in my class who was kind of retarded, but somehow she had this really badass gameboy (possibly gbc) game.

You controlled a gundam-esque robot, in a side scroller where you shot and destroyed other robots with missiles and I think even swords. IIRC for the time it was pretty standard gameplay, but for me it was the coolest shit I had ever seen.

The most popular kid in our class managed to trade some worthless pokemon card to the girl for it, which was a terrible trade for her, but she accepted. She was probably was just happy for the association to him.

She had one other gb game, Shadowgate, so I traded for it, so I could at least get ANY game. I really wish I knew what the robot game was. I haven't been able to figure it out in 20+ years.

Anyway. Fuck you, Christian, you didn't even need the robot game, you had so many gameboy games already. And fuck Shadowgate

>>6372073
Nanosaur!

>>6372621
Gridz!!! Great game!

>>6372629
I had at least a million points in this game.

>>6377240
FILTERED

Still play this from time to time.
Eldylabor is my bottom bitch.

Could have been a worthy successor to Pirates!, but instead was a buggy mess.

What a shame.

>>6371987
>>6375176

I've played it, and I've played the other Legend Entertainment games as well. There was a thread about Sierra-LucasArts adventures not too long ago and people brought up the Legend Entertainment games as well. Superhero League of Hoboken just recently got rereleased on steam so I think it might be catching up some kind of new audience, even if small audience. I think anyone who's a fan of Monkey Island games and has that radical 90s sense of humor should check this game out.

>>6369049
My older brother had this hahaha. He was SUPER into street hockey at the time, early to mid 90s. He and his friends would try to buy the best wheels and blades for asphalt and buy pro sticks and those ball puck things. My brother used to actually dress like the guy on the cover too then, though he wasn't black and he at least had the decency to close his shirt.

>>6369105
The hell? A whole game just about riding your Jetski to get more gas so you can continue to ride your Jetski and get gas? Sounds like an old arcade port or something.

>>6369237
>What were they thinking?
WHAT WERE THEY THEEEENKEEENG?

>>6369339
Based, I'm stealing this. Thank you.

>>6378343
It’s also your dad’s spaceship in the game and you’re on a space date with your teen girlfriend when it runs out of gas. Pretty fun game.

>>6369748
Based discovery to find. I never had a similar experience finding stuff like that on a computer but my older cousin growing up was pretty into the early BBS and piracy scene and was using IRC mostly in the last 90s to get warez and roms. He would hook me up with piles of games on floppies at first, later on CD-Rs and first got me turned onto roms and emulators. I can still remember the first ROM I ever downloaded myself was, Pokemon Yellow for GBC. I was in high school at the time or about to be and I was secretly really into Red and Blue.

First MP3 I ever downloaded was from Napster and it was NWA - Fuck the Police because thats all a 14 year old me could pull off the top of his head. Seems fitting now though.

>>6371698
Well, did you enjoy it?

>>6372340
Is it actually better than SimTower?

>>6371698
It has some nice sprites. Did you get your fun out of it? In the end that's all that matters when trying to assess if you should or shouldn't have wasted money on something.

>>6377240
Got a more detailed description of your mech game? We can help you finally track it.

anyone else play this?

Played this a bunch after the copy of SML got sent through the washer

God what a shit game. Played a lot of shovelware on my SNES (Batman Forever, Chuck Rock, Choplifter III, and Star Trek DSP chief among them) but this takes the cake as hands down the worst game I ever played growing up. To be fair, I still had SMW, Star Fox, SMK, SGnG and few other absolute classics (and obvs Pokemon R/B) so there's still a lot of great memories

I've never seen it mentioned on /vr/ ergo nobody on /vr/ has played it.

>>6378479
Still got the poster?

>>6378356
Sounds bizarre but I could see it being a fun little game with a nonsensical plot as an afterthought, there were lots of games like that on GB.

>>6378564
Yes but I had it rolled up in a tube and it's still curling up like that

>>6378330
Sounds like a pretty rad brother

>>6378446

I have, the one of the best platformers on Amiga. Doesn't look impressive but beats the crap out of Superfrog and Zool shit. I love music the music as well.

>>6376987
Played this at a friends house growing up on Mac.

I only know about this because I saw a let's player beat it at the beginning of last decade. Shame the days of humorous games are dead.

>>6369049

Please prove me wrong.

>>6379264

I've played it but on Amiga 500.
Here is Death or Glory, shame that it was released only in German

>>6370541
Isnt this rare nowadays?

>>6372360

I love that game. I love soundtrack as well, although a lot of it is seems to be stole from somewhere else.

>>6377152
Gas yourself Christcuck.

>>6372904

Wow, never played it. At first I thought it was C64 version of Fate:Gates of Dawn.

watched someone stream it once, they kept savescumming because every other encounter was a party wipe. Not sure if they had bad team comp or if the game was cruel.
