/vr/ - Retro Games

i have no idea what it’s called but it was for Dreamcast and it was a first person sword game and the gimmick was the sword was possessed or something and you can bodyjump between different characters who have different stats. It was fun.

There's not too much to Pipe Dreams but it's pretty fun. Comfy little low-poly puzzler.

TechnicBeat is a game I picked up just from looking at the box a couple of years ago, I had never, ever heard of it. It is amazing. One of the coolest rhythm games I've ever played, with a ton of depth.

It's shit btw

I bought this gay piece of shit and then took my PS1 to my grandma and grandpas house and played it all weekend. what a shit weekend. and then I find out later it's a tie-in game for some gay french movie I don't give a shit about. talk about getting cucked.

>>6972698
I could 103% this motherfucker any time
Fuck you I like it

>>6973315
did you mean to post this game in this thread

>>6972704
I think that's Maken X

The music for this is burned into my memory

This is the strangest and clunkiest sports game I've played. What the fuck are those controls?

>>6972698
Damn i found this at a goodwill one time years ago and have only now been reminded of its existence

>>6972704
sounds like maken x

>>6973661
Weird one that. You had to attach some weird skateboard thing to both analogue sticks to control. Couldn't figure out how to control without it attached

>>6973661
Nice ms word wordart font on the poster too

>>6973661
Thats a shame, the art style looked fun

>>6972698
bump

>>6974673
>Couldn't figure out how to control without it attached
Probably because you were supposed to use it.

>>6973661 again. Here's another weird and clunky skate game from the same gen: Go! Go! Hypergrind! It was developed by Poponchi and published by Atlus, but the character designs were created by John K's studio, Spumco (John K is the guy who made Ren & Stimpy). If I'm not mistaken, this is one of the rarest Game Cube games.

>>6972698
Pic related is a good doom clone, but i'm literally the only one who played it

>>6973249
I own this one but never played.

>>6972710
Nah, played this after looking into Arika's back catalog after a TGM binge. Pretty cool rhythm game, and I love the Namco remixes. Weird as fuck, though, and I suck at the harder tracks despite being britty gud at these games.

>>6973243
>t-the Dream isn't dead, bros
I remember this being pushed in the end days. I should download it for a laugh.

>>6973661
Does Koei find a way to turn this into an ambien-core autism sim too?

>>6976894
Weird, hardly looks western, yet has John K's involvement. This looks like some NTSC-J PS2 game and I've never heard of it.

>>6973315
There was a greatest hits version of this game. Everyone played it.

>>6973243
I only know this for the weird situation with its DLC. It looks slightly interesting.

>>6977410
Nope, this game was developed by Cave. Koei was just the publisher.
>>6977419
Funnily enough, Spumco does have a NTSC-J PS2 game :
https://youtu.be/rXnn8jXDubk

>>6977428
greatest hits games were only made when a game under-performed. ever wonder why they were so much cheaper than original one?

>>6972698

>>6976894
I'll give ya something even more obscure.
The game wants you to use a mini skateboard attachment that goes on top of both the left and right analog sticks to control the movement and tricks in order to fight ghosts. I thought it was terrible to play but apparently my pal has found that it has fighting game level of inputs.
I can at least respect the idea and the gorgeous artstyle.

Zero Wing (MD), I own the cartridge.

I also feel like the only person who got past the Sonic CD Collision Chaos boss in like 30s

>>6978595
Look some posts above yours, anon...

>>6972698
Never knew anyone who owned or played this besides myself.

>>6978930
That's not very obscure

Nothing gets much more obscure than this.
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/PacGuy for context. In short, it's Pac Man but with G U N S

>>6978930
This was pushed super hard in demo discs back in the day. It was awful.

>>6973249
>The official game based on the Nike TV advert

I know shit like Cool Spot proves that you can take an advertisement and make it into a decent game, but that still hurts to read.

>>6973243
>During development Bernie Stolar, the president of SEGA said that "[Floigan Bros.] will do for SEGA what Mario did for Nintendo".[8]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>6977132
The art looks lifted straight from Aliens, is it good?

>>6978595
Whoa thats sorta neat... any pics or video of people using the fingerboards?

>>6977876
Fucking hell this game was sadistic as hell. Even using emulators and savestates it's a real bastard of a game

>>6979427
I liked it but maybe it's just nostalgia

Did anyone ever unlock the hidden playable female characters? I can't find any images of them on the net.

Tank controls on a train before RE0 was even a thing. It really wasn't that bad considering it was released when classic Resident Evil was at it's prime hype levels.

>>6979825
That's Chase The Express, released towards the end of the PS1's life cycle, 2000 wasn't quite "prime hype levels" for Resident Evil though. The original trilogy had come and gone and the movie was still 2 years away.
A decent enough game.

>>6973243
I like this game, but there was no way it would ever be popular. Maybe if they made some kind of Sega alternative to Zelda, the same way they did with Sonic being an alternative to Mario, they would of had a hit on their hands.

>>6980053
>Maybe if they made some kind of Sega alternative to Zelda, the same way they did with Sonic being an alternative to Mario, they would of had a hit on their hands
They already had 4 Zelda alternatives (Beyond Oasis, Sylvan Tale, Golden Axe Warrior and Crusader of Centy), but only one of them got a sequel and it was on the Sega Saturn.

>>6979185
had this for n64, was pretty grindy

Game felt so unfinished but there was some potential.

The worst game I owned for N64.

>>6979825
>>6979919
What's the best version? US i'm guessing?

>>6980409
Holy shit I forgot about this. I remember seeing it in Nintendo Power.

>>6977876
Bad game
Good clown ass

Never seen anyone else mention this game anywhere ever. If you know a way to run this on a modern system please let me know

>>6983347
Adding credence to your post - What is this?

>>6978613
ironically anyone who was working in games journalism at the time of the Dreamcast release played this game, because it was a super early title. It is not very good though. I played it but didn't end up reviewing it.

>>6983362
Three Dirty Dwarves

Kind of an odd third person platformer.

>>6983648
>A true Xbox exclusive
Might as well fill the thread with these

>>6978595
I owned this, probably still do. Might even have the finger board.

>>6983648
this was just like too human. stuck in development hell for almost a decade, switched platforms four times, flopped once it finally came out.

>>6973243
This game is very fun and charming, but extremely short.
It's like a cross between a 3D platformer a point and click adventure and a virtual pet.
I wish they had released more episodes

>>6986491
Had good moments and cool characters but felt v. rushed and unfinished. To the point that after completing the story there was text saying to check the junkyard for fun extras despite there being no postgame whatsoever.

will not rest until Hoigle Floigan debuts in smash bros. HOIGLE WHEN

>>6980392
Cooooommmmm

>>6980409
Its a light gun game for a system that doesn't have a light gun

>>6980409
It was a light gun game for a system that never had a lightgun.

ok

>>6979408
hi saint

That game was pure soul.

Would love to review it but I don't want zoomers to know about this piece of art

>>6983347
You need me to explain the concept of an emulator?

>>6983347
>>6991060

Either this game...

>>6991106
Or this game.

This was absolute crap
Avoid

>>6973661
>>6974673
>>6976817
There's a setting to have the game use traditional controls instead of the fingerboard attachment.

>>6978930
Don't mind me, just posting the superior pirate game on the PS2.

>>6991109
Fun & Funny point and click adventure game. Great voice acting

>>6980392
>>6988267
>Climax

You just knew.

bought it from rite aid

I win

>>6978930
I bought a PS2 earlier this year and this game was inside the disc tray. doesn't seem great.

I used to play this game all the time with my dad. it's not great, but, kind of a unique 2P experience.

>>6993564
Marvel is so unoriginal that they even stole the name "Endgame" from a video game.

>>6973243
>still no port.
SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGA
