/vr/ - Retro Games

Also pic related runs on Windows 98.

>>6453115
Bull-fucking-shit!

...Really?

>>6453115
So can Half Life 2, GTA III and Halo.

>>6453169
>Port Fortnite to Win 98
>Can have Daily Fornite generals on /vr/

>>6453107
True, though I think backports (non-retro games later released on retro hardware) aren't retro, except for the very versions of those games released for retro hardware. So maybe these >>6453169 for Win 98 (or whatever) but not their versions on post-retro hardware.

Mad Stalker for mega dora is just around the corner, prolly drops in a few weeks

>>6453115
>>6453169
PC games quialify by their own release date. Only console games qualify by hardware's release date.

>>6453312
Except Deus Ex

>>6453160
It’s build engine isn’t it?

Yes, the rules are retard.

>>6453107
>modern retro game

The premier definition of retro IS something new made in the style of old, "modern retro" is a redudancy. It's like saying "an old elderly man".
This whole board is based on the 2nd definition of "retro" so I guess it doesn't help.

>>6453645
An old elderly man made this post

>>6453115
>Windows 98 is a console
You sound very confused kiddo

>>6453107
>considered /vr/ related if it was released on a retro console, no matter when the game was actually released.
Sure.... but certain games do fly under the radar like SoR4 and Sonic Mania. Depends on the game and how strict the jannies feel that day.

Tanzer.

Sticky needs to be updated to say that.

>>6453107
>So what is /vr/'s favorite modern retro games?
You already posted it, but Tanzer and l'Abbaye Des Morts and Creepy Brawlers are pretty cool, and Micro Mages and Haunted Halloween.

here's your megalink: https://pastebin.com/vmTUejDq

this whole board is based on an autistic and arbitrary definition of "retro"

>>6454445
and here's a game for you

>>6453107
Need a link to the rom.

>>6454442
> l'Abbaye Des Morts

The name of this game is based on a spanish game of the same name, same name but in spanish. It's an adventure known for being the first to implement real time clock NPC schedules. I think the dev of the french name version is spanish.

His other games are pretty good too, Curse of Issyos and Matilda Castle. Too bad I got a glitch in CoI that prevented me from using my pad thus from playing and due to how the control configuration works there is no fix.

>>6453593
If we can't have Ps2, you can't have deus ex. Take it to /v/.

Tanzer for Genesis is really good. I also enjoy We Are Hejickle for NES.

Build with Build, but running on eduke32, which stopped supporting win2000 in 2010, win98 probably even earlier.

>>6454461
Then why do Deus Ex threads tend to stay up?

>>6454342
But it is a platform which came out before 1999, which is how the rules specify as to what is retro.

>>6454591
Yeah though I can see how this can be abused in the case of a PC game. Like I think some of games supported windows 98 until 2005

>>6454684
>Like I think some of games supported windows 98 until 2005
Dreamcast and PSX kept getting games into the mid 2000's.

Should they be banned too?

>>6454417
It says exactly that unless you have the reading comprehension of a /v/edditor.

>>6454684
How would that be abusing it? Rules are rules faggot.

>>6454690
Consoles always have the same hardware.

>>6453312
It doesn't count if you make up your own rules.

>>6454591
>But I'm very confused and don't understand the rules or words in general
Well there's yer problem

Deus Ex was released to play on a retro plaform (Windows 98/SE), thus it is objecticely retro. Original games for PS2 were not. Very simple, my friends.

All PC games released before Windows XP are retro. Anything past that point is not allowed.

>>6457187
the Xbox is basically a PC running a version of windows that predates xp so I guess its allowed here

>>6457175
so wait, anything that can run on windows 98SE is ok?

>>6457218
how a plane fly backwards?

>>6457225
>>6457225
YES! Though please be aware that retroactive ports ("backports") only count for themselves alone. For example, Halo 1 for PC is retro but Halo 1 for Xbox isn't. This is because the PC version is a port of the non-retro Xbox version (ie, they weren't released at the same time), so the SE port is only retro because it's on SE. Same goes for Cave Story (DC/GEN) but the original Cave Story (Win XP). Same also goes for any other homebrew (etc) of a non-retro game ported to a retro platform. And of course, all remakes and "forwardports" of pre-2000 platform games are retro. Have fun, millenial/zoomerbro!

>>6457275
*but not the original Cave Story (Win XP)

>>6457275
but Halo 1 for xbox ran on Windows 2000 like all xbox games. xbox is just a pc in a custom case with a lockdown ecosystem not unlike Apple computers.

>>6453107
>tfw I missed my chance to download this game off of mega
Goddamn it

>>6457349
I'll reupload soon bro.

>>6457349
Wait, nevermind I saw there was a pastebin in >>6454442's post

>>6457351
Do you by chance have the Dreamcast version and do you know if there's any real difference between Dreamcast and Mega Drive versions of the game?

>>6457301
Windows 2000 isn't pre-2000 platform, though, so that's irrelevant.

>>6454442
>>6457351
>>6457352
I'm still working on the update for that pastebin. Any suggestions for what to edit/add to it? By the way, I'd like to add all the roms from all regions of that recent Castlevania Collection and also the ones from the Kunio Collection if you guys might have them. Also any new roms from the PC Engine Mini series. Many thanks!

>>6457361
but XP is even though 2000 predates it?

>>6453291
I can't wait till someone leaks that ROM out for the Genesis/Megadrive

>>6457175
>The voices in some retarded zoomers head make the rules
lol. no.

>>6457694
Same man, same... Apparently they fixed a few bugs now, and its getting ready to be manufacttured. Then we gotta wait till some generous anon dumps it for us poorfags.

>>6457361
windows 2000 was released in 1999, gotcha!

>>6460331
rtm doesn't count

>>6460847

>Any suggestions for what to edit/add to it?
WHat is that gameboy horror game, Dead-something I think. Somebody help me out!

>>6460302
Is this a new port, or an unreleased game?

>>6453107

>>6453107
This is a pretty fun puzzle game if you got a friend to play with.

quick rundown? I can't find any articles on it.

It's a shame that nothing ever really became of this https://youtu.be/LOAvW2K87-4

Can we talk about cave story here?

>>6464381
There were Castlevania and Contra games on the Mega Drive, I wonder why there wasn't a Gradius one.

>>6464384
pretty sure cave story supports windows 98, and should run fine on pre-2000 hardware, so i see no reason why not

>>6465828
is it just me or is that really fast scrolling for a C64?

>>6454413
This game looks pretty damn based desu.

Why are so many people hell bent on trying to worm their way around the rules? Why is it so hard to just stick to pre-1999 shit?

>>6466418
Because fuck, you.

>>6466418
who gives a shit dude

>>6466418
modern games on pre-2000 hardware isn't against the rules
the rules don't care about when a game comes out as long as it's on a system older than 2000
otherwise you'd have things like majora's mask (2000) not being allowed

>>6453107
because the best generation of all vidya started 2 years later

>>6462012
Unreleased port of a game.

>>6464276
I found out about it on Twitter, and then there's this link https://www.sega-16.com/forum/showthread.php?35088-Mad-Stalker-coming-on-cart-by-Columbus-Circle-(-)

>>6460302
The day that it arrives and I find a link to it in some hidden forum, I will share it to this thread or any other similar thread possible.

>>6462708
I hope that someone has a link to this ROM, so that I can play it on my hacked Neo Geo Mini.

>>6464384
I love Cave Story. Played the Sega Genesis/Megadrive version and was floored by how well it was put together. Easily one of the best modern made Genesis homebrew games out there.

>>6466418
Why do these same "people" eat tide pods?

>>6466418

Zoomers really want to talk about their childhood games, but /v/ mocks them for living in the past and tells them to go to /vr/ if they wanna talk about old shit.
so they come here and are like "MY BELOVED OLD SHIT" and we're stroking our long grey beards going all "thats not old, fuck off"
so they stick around and like the kids they are nag about the rules being unfair.

>>6466770
I still don't get why they don't band together and just keep a 6th gen thread bumped on /vg/ instead of wasting time shitposting and falseflagging here because they can't get the rules changed.

>>6466785

Eh, what more can you expect from a buncha early 20 somethings. they lack life experience to make normal decisions.
that's why there are so many "REEEE BUT MY OPINION IS BETTER" here, its all kids.

>>6457301
Xbox is its own weird beast with custom hardware that is similar to, but not quite a 2000 gaming PC. If you want to argue that an Xbox is just a PC, then a Master System is just an MSX.

>>6466812
I'll just wait for 6th gen to clear once 9th gen comes out.

>>6454445
>this whole board is based on an autistic and arbitrary definition of "retro"
So true.

NGDev game carts have very strong anti-piracy features, which is why everyone just pirates and plays the Dreamcast versions

>>6457301
>xbox is just a pc in a custom case
not really, but even if it was, it uses components made after 1999 (notably the geforce3 gpu which is from 2001)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxRjloDl9_U
this video, however, suggests you can run halo well enough on a geforce 256 (1999), so i suppose halo 1 should be allowed

>>6466902
Damn, that's deep.

>>6466947
Man, the Xbox was such crazy-powerful hardware for what you paid at the time.

>tfw you can't discuss your FF1 game on the retro board

>>6466357
The dev was probably using the VSP trick for the fast scrolling, otherwise such fast scrolling indeed wouldn't be possible on an C64. Too bad that a few C64's don't like that trick at all and crash.

The VSP scrolling trick of some late C64 games (and of course demos and many current games) allowed much faster scrolling than the hardware devs originally intended that additionally didn't even need much CPU load. It doesn't get any more bare to the metal than using well timed tricks to let the video chip do things it was never designed for. Well, most of these tricks exploited various hardware quirks of the C64 to a point were it had to be timed right to a single cycle to work correctly. In case of the VSP the actual timing variations of various hardware components also could just crash the computer on some devices without additional precautions (in case of crashes using the VSP scrolling trick the DRAM is to blame).

Also the latest Super Mario Bros port to the C64 makes heavy use of the Variable Screen Position trick.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jIrR9Iqq4Q

>>6466357
No. There were many C64 games that did fast scrolling.

>>6467668
Of course you can, and this looks sick, what is this?

>>6457195
But it's not, and Win 2000 is not retro.

>>6457187
Wrong. Anything after Win 98SE is not retro.

>>6472075
>Win 2000 is not retro
Came out in 1999 tard

>>6472067
an early 2000s Newgrounds flash parody

>>6472067
dont believe this man's lies--->>>6472169

its this game I'm making based on FF1. the working title is Final FaNESy, but I dont love that so itll most likely change.

Basically its an jrpg where instead of classes your party is made up of NES characters

>>6472530
Nice cringy Newgrounds flash, consoomer. It's not 2005 anymore, you can stop now. Only one other person itt gave a shit and it was probably you.

>>6453107
I love amazon's running diet for obvious reasons

>>6472609
oh my I am so crushed by your epic put downs. consoomer? holy shit! have you patented that yet?

hey guys. be careful what you say in this thread. we got a virtual don fucking rickles here

>>6473396
Sarcasm doesn't fit you well. Don't quit your day job, which doesn't involve your shitty Newgrounds flash or posting on this site.

>>6453107
A pinball machine released in 2020 is /vr/. Although I guess you couldn't really call it a modern "retro" game. Unless you consider pinball to be inherently retro. Which some do.

>>6473617
>A pinball machine released in 2020 is /vr/.
how?

>>6453115
Pic related also ran on Windows 98

>>6473936
The voices in his heads told him it is. Don't disagree with the voices in his head or they'll tell him to hurt people.

>>6473962
That's pretty cool to hear! Now I'm about to mess around on the search engine for "modern PC games made on Windows 98 computers"

>>6473962
>>6474585
Nope, tried the seach. Didn't show a damn thing. Just my luck.

>>6473936
Because the jannies don't delete posts about it.

We used to have a jannie who deleted all Dreamcast posts, rules notwithstanding.

>>6473497
my day job is plowing your mom so you dont have to worry about me quitting anytime soon

Is there a term for this trend? Like, Neo-Retro?

>>6477039
The term is literally retro. Literally every millennial and zoomer literally uses the term retro literally wrong.

Has anyone played that NES version of Final Fantasy X? I'm curious as to how it works.

>>6474592
Minecraft works too
