/vr/ - Retro Games

you misspelled playstation 2

What could have saved it? Sorry, I wanted to say something but I had nothing else other than this.
>>6775027
Not so retro, back to >>>/v/

When a ScummVM game had multiple releases, the Amiga version was usually the better looking/sounding version.

Cringe before cringe was even a thing

Sorry grandpa, this is a >2000 games board now.

>>6775653
the girls just look better on amiga

>>6774965
what the fuck is an amiga lmao

This threads is obviously Australia-kun's.
It feels... oddly special.
Like you can tell it's him, but instead of shitposting, for once, he didn't make an /ogg/ thread, he didn't make a scotformer thread, instead, he made a genuine Amiga thread, the system he loves the most.
He knows Amiga discussion, already niche on /vr/, will now have no place on the new /vr/.
This feels like a farewell thread by him.
Excuse me while I shed a manly tear.

>>6776818

>insert coin
>watch threads race to the bottom
welcome to the new /vr/

>>6774965
If you're not gonna dump stuff, you might as well not bother to make a thread.
Nothing as niche as amiga can survive long on this board now.

Best

Ever

for me, it's gotta be Amigavania

Lionheart.

For me, it's Millennium 2.2
I dunno why, but I love this game. It's impossible to find a screenshot that does the game justice.

The sequel Deuteros never clicked for me, and it's a bit grindy.

RIP Australia-kun

Is amiga an xbox game?

>>6780330
love it

Other thread died, so I'll ask here too.

Burger here, I just received a free A600 but don't have any games to go with it. Should I set up a Gotek with FlashFloppy or go for a CF/SD card with WHDLoad? And any suggestions for good games that work in NTSC mode? I don't really know much about these things yet.

but does it have jrpgs

>>6780728
Ironically, yes it does.

>>6780341
Fellow of excellent taste.

Games like Utopia, Realms, Civilization and Railroad Tycoon ate so much of my time.

Megalomania was great too.

>>6776818
Australia kun got outed as a literal redditor today and is probably feeling humiliated and bad.

I have quite the softspot for Amiga music:

Goodnight Amigabros.
Hopefully the mod's fuck-up will be fixed by tomorrow and the board can go back to normal.

disgusting/10. feeling sick.

>>6780629
Card with WHDLoad.
Like, seriously.
And the vast majority of software is pal, so you might want to look into that.

>>6783493
Well, my machine is NTSC so there's nothing I can do about that. And apparently it's one of the models that can't be converted to PAL with just a jumper/switch like some of them apparently can? But there's a software switch I guess? But it requires a newer Kickstart than what I have (2.05)? Or something? This is all brand new to me, didn't expect I'd ever own an Amiga so I have a lot to learn. I also don't know if any of my TVs would even support 50 Hz.

>>6782175

>>6784817
I don't see any traces of Australia-kun in there.
Australia-kun is strongly anti-Nintendo/anti-yank.

Playing on Mac apparently makes you English

Alien Breed 3D & Breathless are pretty great games.

Guys, this is the FINAL surviving thread from before the rule change. That's really sad. It was nice knowing you all. See you in Valhalla.

>>6780359
Norpe. It's a console of its own

>>6785194
That game is amazing. Shame that is still very underrated. Music was amazing as well

>>6786087
One of those weird consoles that comes with mouse and keyboard and strange software that isn't games.
Come to think of it, that doesn't narrow it down.
Shit.

Thread done already?

I've never had or used an Amiga, though it looks like an interesting system. Unfortunately, I doubt I'd pay 50 bucks for the novelty of a virtual one because hardware is not happening either. Definitely a thing you would have had lived with I guess. Big fan of the scene stuff, though.

>>6787214
Not sure where they've gone or where they're running off to.

>>6781618
Loved this back in the day, bought it full price on the amiga then used for my megadrive, a really simple game by todays standards but fun

>>6774965
long time lurker, first time poster
how can I play amiga games guys and tell me the most mainstream ones because if I ask for the best there's always that guy thinking his obscure shit nobody ever heard is god's gift to humanity

>>6788357
I use FS-UAE, works like a charm.

Great, an amiga Thread, I have some questions:

>Can I use bilinear filter in UAE?
>Is there any way to use the throttle function in UAE?
>I already tried to use the 4 disk drives but apparently the games recognize only the first two drives, I wanted to play large games without exchange disks, is there a way?
>Is it difficult to configure the virtual hdd in UAE?
Thanks in advance.

Only Amiga makes it possible

>>6775062
>What could have saved it?
Anything else than Commodore and the useless clowns that bought Amiga from it.
>Horrible marketing
>Used 68000 on the original Amiga to save a few bucks instead of 68010, which besides faster, would have saved them compatibility issues down the road.
>Discarded Ranger chipset despite ready because "too expensive", disregarding value of being first to market & people buying the old/lowend model because the new is the best. (original Amiga team understandably mostly left at that point, imagine if you were a brilliant engineer and had to put up with that crap)
>Same deal with AAA, AA+, Hombre
So at the end only released ECS very late (they should have developed it in parallel with Hombre, for a new low end model, and it would have been ready in 1987 for the A500 if anything), then AGA shortly after (instead of AAA or Hombre).
AGA was *still* very good when it was out, but the inertia from the bad marketing and the wasted opportunities meant there was no saving CBM.

>>6787214
What's the animation from? Looks like it could be an Amiga demo or game.

>>6780629
>Amiga with IDE
Whdload. Not even a question.
But do get:
* 1MB trapdoor expansion (for 2MB chip, the most basic expansion for A600)
* Serial cable (for file transfer)
* PCMCIA ethernet (Grab a ne2000 card like Linksys EC10T)
And it would help you a lot with whdload (to fit games in ram and to have reliable exit key functionality via VBR) and overall performance (by new cpu or by having fast ram at all) if you got a cheap 68010 or 68020 based expansion with Fast RAM. They clip on top of the onboard CPU.

>>6780629
Get a an AMIGA-RGBSCART or Amiga-VGA passive adapter and an OSSC if you still don't have one.

>>6790729
Thanks for the tips. I hadn't considered a PCMCIA ethernet card, that's a pretty cool idea. It actually came with a RAM expansion, it says 2 MB graphics mem which as I understand is the same as chip memory, right?

>>6790771
I have an OSSC already, I'll need to order a SCART cable for it.

>>6791742
>It actually came with a RAM expansion, it says 2 MB graphics mem which as I understand is the same as chip memory, right?
Correct. Never liked wb saying graphics. The whole chipset can use it.
Run "avail" in a terminal to see the memory details. Even better, get the latest sysinfo and run it.
https://sysinfo.d0.se/
>serial cable
Still good to have if you're interested in the slightest in programming. Serial debugging is the way to go.
>accelerator
I'd go hunting for anything <$100, even if it's just a 68010 and some fastram.

Oh, and grab a dust cover cloth, for when you're not using your Amiga.

Only Amiga games I can stand are the 3D ones like Stunt Car Racer, Wings and Zeewolf, games that 16 bit consoles couldn't do.

>>6790663
ports of call

>>6780759
such as?

>>6792027
http://hol.abime.net/1111
I see. I'll give it a try sometime.

>>6789389
Anyone?

Sometimes I just have to boot up the A600 to play some North & South with some friends, it really is a great party game.

Just a pretty straightforward board game with a few minigames thrown in there for variety, simply fabulous.

>>6789389
>>6792398

I don't care how sloppy it is, I love that NES port.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDFMN3GYRuI

>>6778972
Amiga threads didn't went long enough even before that.
Anyway, what i like about the system mostly are some good racing games - Lotus series comes to mind first, also Black Viper just for the style.

>>6785149
Crouching to do shit was retarded, but a very nice platformer, and OST is great too anon.

>>6785354

This feel is not endorsed by the Royal British Legion.

Yes.

If you are talking about premade ones, you just mount them through ui.

SWIV is pretty lit, better than Silkworm and despite using less colors, I think it overall looks better than Super SWIV.

Less colors, but higher resolution and more soul.

Any good Amiga homebrew games come out recently that's worth checking out?

>>6793612
I remember being impressed by the teasers for Scourge of the Underkind. Don't know if it is already released though.
Check out http://www.indieretronews.com/search/label/Amiga, you may find something interesting.

Go cry somewhere else. This is an Amiga thread.

>>6796092
wtf lol

>>6791837
Or wouldn't.
No reason you could not have more "computer" games on consoles. You know, the kind of games that need mouse and keyboard.
Most retro consoles had a mouse peripheral or even a keyboard.
Sometimes wonder why they didn't just try to outright compete with home computers.

>6795807
You're trying way too hard, you reek of reddit.

>>6796257

>>6783564
A lot of pal stuff is smoother on ntsc anyway for both amiga and c64.

>>6774965
Recently went over everything on lemonamiga rated 7 or higher. There's some interesting stuff.

>>6796257
Wasn't there a NES computer or something like that?

>>6797627
Yes, the Famicom had a keyboard, tape drive, and BASIC cartridge available. Excitebike, Wrecking Crew, and some other games allowed for saving custom stages to the tape drive.

>>6797348
Amiga games have a 16-bit face, but a 8-bit soul.
Including everything shitty you remember about 8-bit games.
If you can handle the jank, then it's great.
Otherwise, beware.

>>6798785
You will have not been surprised since it came out in 1985 and effectively stands on the cusp between 8-bit and 16-bit hardware.

>>6800446
Amiga had loads of weird shmups

>>6798785
Well said. C64 devs and demoscene just switched to Amiga, made use of the extra power but kept their soul.
Unlike the speccifags who switched to an Amstrad CPC. They went extinct like the dinosaurs.

>>6800717

Any good amiga exclusives you’d recommend? This is one of the only decent threads remaining

>>6800717
>>6800901
Is this sped up? I don't remember any Amiga shmup that did a locked 60 fps.

>>6800906
It depends on what genres you like. Are there even any *real* Amiga exclusives?

>>6776765
true, my fav game on amiga is still Yo! Joe!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_ScH9Cd6sM&list=PLErsx10Ke4uzz1ieNMm-9CuAddJuvIAn0&index=4

>>6800931
More action like stuff really

>>6798785
Amiga was out before snes. So the devs couldn't have learned any tricks from nintendo, but nintendo could have learned tricks from the amiga

>>6800901
looks amazing

>>6800954

>>6800960
The Chaos Engine 1+2 are very good, but they're not exclusive. Better version can be had with and AGA Amiga or CD32.
Turrican 1+2+3 are great, but it was also ported to a dozen systems. I dunno, I'm out of "action" game ideas for now.

>>6800993
https://youtu.be/cLKo5kYcCqA?list=PLErsx10Ke4uzz1ieNMm-9CuAddJuvIAn0

>>6800446
that's pretty crazy technology

>>6800910
It is actually 50fps in this game and clip here.
There were quite a few games that did locked 50, tho mostly not as pretty as disposable hero.

Anyone know if it's normal that I can play international karate (IK+) either with sound OR music, but not both?

>>6800906
As has already been mentioned way up, try Zeewolf 1 and 2. They're basically Desert Strike only in full 3D with a lot more interesting gameplay.
As in DS you have to take out enemy vehicles, and rescue P.O.Ws. What makes it more interesting is you're often given limited resources to achieve this but you can also winch other vehicles into battle to do the fighting for you, and on some levels you can remote control tanks and other helicopters with unique abilities.
There's pretty much nothing like these games on any other format. If you do play it's easier to use a joystick, but if you're hardcore you can use the mouse for greater control.

>>6801046
That doesn't sound normal.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UI2sCZAwIHY

>>6801003
Chaos Engine 2 IS an exclusive. Unfortunately it's also not very good.

>>6801027
Was the Amiga really this good? I honestly don't remember it beeing so buttery smooth. There's just a tiny, tiny hicup when the bigger yellow ship appears. Amazing.

>>6800960
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Amiga-only_games
At first glance almost no game is worth it. Lionheart and Worms maybe.

>>6801092
Ambermoon & Apidya

>>6801067
Once programmers learned the tricks games started to look and sound a lot better.
Probably most well known is the method to emulate 4 sound channels in software and put them on one hardware channel to increase the available voices from 4 to 7.
Something Huelsbeck did for Turrican 2:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLdBw_hg6dw
And also for later Amiga games that featured his music like Apydia

>>6801127
Saved by the copper bar. Imagine how bland this would look without that smooth gradient that comes at no processing costs.
Is Huelsbeck involved in the Faktor5 reunion? I hope so.

Those graphics are beautiful. I hate how 3dshit ruined video games.

Somehow, I always liked the OCS versions of Ishar better. They seem to have more soul with the restrictive palette.

>>6801620
Sorry, no. I actually don't know that game.

Amiga PSUs don't fail high like C64s.

Thankfully amiga emulation is in a good spot, so I don't have any complaints.

I find latency's still a shit on winuae, and the other emus are much worse.
MiSTer is decent, but I keep my Amiga in good shape.
2xA500r6 (512/512 chip/show and 1MB chip), A500+ (2MB chip, ram68k, ide68k), A600 (2MB chip), A1200 (blizzard 1230mkIV, 64MB fast32).

Cool. Did it find any success? Is there any other software for it, like text editors?

>>6805302
It was relatively popular in Japan from what I understand —at least as popular as you could expect something like that to be. No commercial software that I'm aware of, but there's a ton of "homebrew" for it, and I've read that some devs in Japan's game-scene got their start with it, but I cannot confirm that obviously. I've always wanted to get a keyboard and BASIC cart for dicking around with.

>Are there even any *real* Amiga exclusives?
You mean, stuff that didn't ported to other platforms?
>>6800960
>More action like stuff really
If we are talking things that never relesed on anything else than Amiga, than Ruff n' Tumble, Black Viper, Uridium II, Banshee (it is highly praised and i don't know why, it is not that good. Still good, but there are better shmups on the system), Agony, Shadow of the beast III - from the top of my head. There are some exclusive shmups and racers. You can try Final Odyssey: Theseus vs Minotaur, it's a late 1997 title but rather pretty. Almost every FPS released on Amiga is exclusive for it

lol what the fuck is an amiga? This thread is such a cringefest. Buy a PS2 already.

>>6805669

>>6805742
The only bad thing that i remember about the game was that after ht and lose of life you was also turned in another direction. Other than than, it's among the best platformers of the era.

>>6805581

>>6800446
probably spent a 1000 hours on that. Geoff Crammond is a god amongst devs.

>>6806018

>>6805742
its holding up very well. pity about the 30FPS

>>6806214
I would have killed to have that framerate on my A500. that game literally a slideshow

>>6806234
50fps here, actually.
>>6806253
Remember that, too. Lowering the detail level was painful, but neccessary.
This is emulator footage. Don't know what level of accelerator you would need for a locked 50fps. 68040 at least, I reckon.

>>6806428
*25fps here, actually.
My bad. That was not correct.

>>6805669
Beast III is the best of the series.
Gameplay and puzzles are really solid here.
Still a difficult game tho.

>>6808583
Falcon was better

>>6808583

>>6808832

>>6807925
I just don't really get the point of this, on paper it's technically impressive but still looks like reheated dog shit. The end result is going to be a game that looks and plays like a really ugly cheap knock off of Doom and is even inferior to the likes of Alien Breed 3D from 25 years ago.

>>6809484
It's another one of those "coder's challenge" things.
Get a doom clone to run on an Amiga 500. Make it playable on technology first released in 1985.
I think it's neat. Worth playing? We'll see.

>>6808686
Did Falcon have anything other than the desert to fight in?

Yes, Two Mission Disks

Not retro but is 2016 remake any good? Such a strange thing for it to be published by Sony and be a PS4 exclusive.

I don't think there was ever a single good game released for Amiga.

>>6812671
>I don't think I ever played a single game for the Amiga
ftfy

>>6812671
Why do you think that?

>>6812712
Because I've yet to see a good one.

>>6812717
Which games did you play and why do you think they are bad?

>>6812723
I've played stuff like Zool and Turrican and they just suck compared to console games of the same genre.

>>6812730
So, being not as good equals being shit? I don't agree with that.
Plus, Turrican's controls suffer from being designed for a shitty joystick but what's that wrong with Zool?

>>6810204

Don't mind me, just posting output of my sham6 conversion algorithm.
There's some visible bleed. I need to improve it, for umi.

Why were devs so lazy to not adapt more buttons for platformers? There were no 2-button joysticks and controllers or what?

>>6813181
There were 2 button joysticks, and some games supported them.
Poor documentation on that was generally blamed. Games only started using 2button in the early 90s.

Amiga tunes are pretty based, not gonna lie

>>6812771
Unlike Turrican, Zool is a bad game, bad level design, controls and it's just overall not that fun or memorable when actually compared to Sonic.

I mean, it's even generally regarded as a mediocre game at the very best, to a point where a lot of people, and we are talking about retro gamers here, haven't played nor really want to play Zool 2, why bother when the first game wasn't good and there was nothing about it worth talking about aside from ads?

Turrican however, shitty joystick aside, is a great series with amazing soundtracks and are much more fondly remembered and easy for newcomers to enjoy.

There is a reason why two Turrican collections got announced recently and the physical collection has stuff like remixed soundtracks and even a Turrican figure alongside others, because Turrican rocks and they know it can sell unlike Zool.

Gotta defend Zool here, most people experienced it first hand through the SNES version which has actually poor level design. The game plays a lot better on megadrive/genesis, DOS or Amiga.
My only complaint is some of the bosses being too fast.

Most games used more buttons, but they were relegated to the keyboard.
Old joysticks had suction cups underneath and could be mounted on a desk. With that and the keyboard you had makeshift arcade style controls.
At least this is how I and all the amiga users I knew played back in the day.
(pic is just a cheap recreation, since I don't have real amiga hardware anymore)

> I played two games so all are bad
Go play something like Zeewolf or Hired Guns, there are no console games like these.

The Amiga could support three button sticks but many devs limited themselves to one button because the Atari-style one button sticks were cheap as water and millions of the things were around as opposed to two or three button sticks which were uncommon and expensive.

Zoomer "revenge" for us saying 6th gen will NEVER EVER be allowed here.
It's pretty funny, they think they're trolling us by posting gen6 stuff when /vr/'s already been terrible for years.

Yep, Psygnosys.

>>6816224
They had some of the most insane designs

>>6816419
I wouldn't be surprised if Roper had seen Blood Money's one or played the game shomehow.

Hint: Do a Google Image search for Roger Dean

Might as well post some more Psygnosis covers

Cool art, thanks!

Those are worth posting, anon.

Always liked the detailed mechanical animals, insects and marine ones especially. Part of why i love Darius so much and suck at it.

woah. How did they draw that? Pixel by pixel? Or could you get drawing tablets for Amiga back in the day?
>>6816850
This is amazing too

>>6817553
Some agony ingame art.
Tablets were around even back then. The workflow was different from nowadays, tho.
Not layers like in modern photoshop, but tricks with palettes, locked colors and stuff like that.
But that's just some basic understanding. I can't fathom how the artists got things done to this degree of quality.

The autism that went into making and editing this image is disturbing.
