/vr/ - Retro Games

Peasant's Quest isn't retro. Also, just because your character dies doesn't mean it's unbeatable.

>>6570182
It's the very definition of retro, anon.

Doom Shareware version :)

>>6570185
It's meant to look like the old EGA Sierra games, but it wasn't made in the late 80's / early 90's when those were, it was released in the mid 2000's.

>>6570209
cope seethe and dial 8

>>6570164

Was it released in the actual AGI format? if not, not retro.

>>6570209
>>6570220
No one is going to think this is good for /v/ either. It's fucking retro. Jesus Christ.

>>6570209
>release in the mid 2000's.
2004, early 2000s, since we're being technical.

>>6570235
Just because you say it is doesn't make it so. Allowable games and systems are clearly dictated in the sticky, as is the board's working definition of "retro".

>Some crap for brains tryin to push a non retro game on /vr/
get that mess outta here

>>6570238
2000-2003: early 2000's
2004-2006: mid 2000's
2007-2009: late 2000's

>>6570259
Dogma autists are the worst.

>>6570209
That's what he meant. It's a throwback to an earlier style.

>>6570317
That's now how it works. On '05 and after is late, before is early. "Mid decade" is meaningless.

>>6570209
>look like the old EGA Sierra games
And it doesn't look like one at all. Let me guess you think the pixel shit on steam looks like a NES game as well?

>>6570487
The game is based on King's Quest I, anon, and looks just like it in the same graphical style found on an Apple][ , Mac, or IBM machines at the time (1984).

>>6570235

Look, look.. if you bother to rip all the art assets from Peasants Quest and compile it into an AGI format (all tools for that exist) then you can post it here under the guise of "someone turned this fangame into an actual AGI game which totally runs with the original agi interpreter and on my 286.

>>6570507
Yet it's ok to have a thread where Doom "runs on an NES".

>>6570507
But anon it runs on my compy 686 running windoze 98, which is clearly a retro system.

>>6570359
The boards are divided into topics for a reason. This is not difficult logic to follow. This title doesn't fit the format, which is dedicated strictly to games created in a given timeframe and/or hacks on hardware in the same, so take it to the board where it does -- /v/. No one is stopping you from posting there, and you might get results other than people trying to explain to you why this topic isn't wanted here.

>>6570584
>and sometimes that dogmatists are wrong too

>>6570487
You're right, how could I have ever imagined there were any similarities here?

You fucking imbecile.

>>6570784

Right looks like they only bothered to draw an AGI main character and then did the rest in SCI.

>>6570473
It's a common phrase and you were given a definition. Words don't become "meaningless" because you don't like them.

>>6570784
They mixed pixel sizes in the game on the right.

good memories, not retro

Eh. This is 100% retro. If that anime game for 360 and dreamcast is retro.then so is this.

>>6570846
Then it's a later re-release.

>>6570164
This is the game that finally convinced me to get my genitals removed and start taking HRT.

Slam dunk.

Based actual question reader.

>>6570185
the dictionary definition, not the 4chan definition

people who care about the 4chan definition of anything are stupid dipshits

>>6571401
the rules are whatever the rules say they are, because they're the rules

Get a load of these triggered gayboys. Muh retro. Get over yourselves. It's fuckin 16 years old in retro style. 'B-b-but the rules' no one gives a fuck stop being a Gestapo shill. Please, OP. Tell us more.

>>6571491
>in retro style

More like ugly style, making a game in a horrible ugly mashup of classic styles does not make it retro.
that's like me making a fighting game, and I'm drawing all the fighters with all the cliches, kickboxer, sumo guy, wrestler, karate, etc etc.
and then I digitize all the backgrounds, MK style.

And I'm like THIS IS RETRO. BECAUSE IT HAS MULTIPLE RETRO STYLES.
no.. its shit!

>>6571558
You're stupid. It wouldn't be retro if you made it yesterday. If it was made 15 years ago, yes, regardles of shit style, it would be retro.

>>6571570

You're stupid, 15 years ago isn't retro.
unless you're like a 22 year old zoomer.

>>6571491
OK. The game is specifically meant to be an Apple][ game, as evidenced by the simulated floppy drives and accompanying sound effects after getting past the knight guarding the mountain pass.

>>6571764
>game runs on systems from before 2000
>its n n n n not r retro because I h h hated that guy when he was cool

>>6571927
Not them, but fucking shit I did play that game on a Windows 98 PC back in the day. I ran that into the ground until I was forced to use a better computer.
I remember when I upgraded to 256MB of RAM and thought that was pretty buff.

>>6571927
Retro isn't just about aesthetics or the machine it can be played on. If this were a board discussing old movies, a movie like 2019's The Lighthouse wouldn't count even though it's black and white. It's not about including or excluding something based on visual style or system requirements, it's about giving people a place to talk about old games, so the one in the OP doesn't count. Who gives a shit what sort of machine it runs on?

>>6571989
>Retro gaming means consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games on platforms launched in 1999 and earlier.

The rule lawyers probably should give a shit when they're trying to rule lawyer.

>talk about old games.
It is old enough to buy beer in Germany

>>6572059
>It is old enough to buy beer in Germany
And to have sex and marry anyone of any age in most states in the US, as well as work most jobs.

>>6572059
>>6572076
But it's not old enough to meet the criteria of this board. So whether the game is old enough to fuck, drink or vote is immaterial, it's not old enough to be posted here.

It was an internet game in the mid-2000's, retard. This is not a home PC game that happened to be released in the year 2000 for Windows 98 like Diablo 2 or SoA. Y'know what other internet game came out in 2004? World of Warcraft. When you zoom-zooms who can't handle that retro means pre-2000 on this board spam these stupid threads, that's what you're saying. Please let me post my WoW characters.

>>6572919
>internet game
What thread are you in child? You know nothing about these subjects

>>6570164
Great game. However the part where you have to rip a baby out of a pregnant womans stomach, cut it up and force feed it to her to gain the Shizmodian wizards trust was seriously fucked up.

>>6573182
I genuinely can't tell if you don't know that Peasant's Quest is a web browser flash game from the mid-2000's or if you're just pretending to be retarded. You zoomers are operating under so many levels of "ironic retardation" these days that I can't tell the difference anymore, if there ever was one.

>>6573246
You called it an internet game and then. Brought up wow, a multiplayer game. Who's theb ironic shitlord now?

>>6571764
Pushing 30. And 15 years ago is less time than the current threshold for DC on this board. And I remember before that rule got announced.

My point is, retro game is retro. Newgrounds/stickman early flash games now have a case for being retro. I don't think they are and I'm a retro snob like most others here, but 15 years is a long time, so learn to be an adult before you go making yourself look stupid.

>see Peasants Quest OP
>heh, bet this'll turn into a chill early 2k flash game thread.
>scroll through hit bottom

Jesus fuck you tranny autistic cunts ruin fucking everything.
10 pages of threads on a slow ass board
10 pages
This is 1 thread

Can't have anything nice around here can we?

I got so addicted to this game that I didn't want to leave my PC. I needed to buy cigarettes but I didn't want to leave so I resorted to rolling up cat litter and smoking it. I shat blood for an entire week.

>>6573331
Remember that game where homos rape you unless you blast them with a shotgun?

>>6573395
'Watch out behind you hunter'

I remember all of the cringy edgy schoolshootercore the most. Shit was like if Devil May Cry became self aware and started making games about itself.

I don't know why you didn't just delete the thread. While I appreciate you cleaning the non-/vr/ trash off the board, why delete 55 of the 58 posts including the OP's pic and leave the thread?

>>6573716
what was this thread even about?

>>6573745
It was about Peasant's Quest.

>>6573716
>why delete 55 of the 58 posts including the OP's pic and leave the thread?
Spite. Someone having a shitty 4th I guess.

>>6573716
likely just deleted a couple posts along with their responses, since my responses (which argue that it's not retro) are also gone
that said, it was a 2D game from 2004, so might have worked on a 1999 pc, but i've not seen anyone get any 2000+ PC game accepted, except maybe deus ex

>>6573716
>why delete 55 of the 58 posts
Because the mods on /vr/ are not only petty but ugly and bad at their jobs. They leave literal bait up for over a week but autistically delete plausible threads/ban people for the most fleeting reasons.

>>6573796
