#blackcartsmatter

A thread like this simply cannot happen without mentioning Pokemon gens 1-3. I wish they still did this for the new games.

Gauntlet's the most SOULFUL series ever made. It's such a damn shame (or perhaps a good thing) the series are dead

>>7149172
this game any good?

>>7149172
I was dissapointed when Killer instinct gold didn't have a colored cart, considering every 2nd N64 game had one.

>>7149148
The coloured carts is where the soul in pokemon is contained.

I've got almost all the pokemon cartridges (though the ones from my actual childhood are in pretty manky shape) but I'm still missing a crystal cart. It hardly ever turns up in pawn shops around here.

Cartridges of Color

Never knew OoT had a gold cart as a kid never saw it. When I saw MM was a gold cart i got so hype

>>7149148
I really love the transparent color that the hoenn games have, reminds me of the old consoles and other vg hardware with that aesthetic

>>7150456
Isn’t the grey MM cartridge a different version of the game?

>>7150570
The PS4 controllers had some transparent colors. Was pretty nice. I don’t think Microsoft or Nintendo do it now.

>>7148993

>>7150585
Yes and no. Same game, just never officially released. Grey MM carts are the ones they had in demo kiosks.

This ad made me want to eat my game boy. (I had grilled/black)

the only pink gameboy cartridge.

>>7150895
fitting

>>7150937
*Ahem*

Gray is a color

>>7150985
Is this game good? Seems fun

>>7150985
alright, solid pink

>>7150456
nigga post the hologram one if you're going to post it

>>7150998
i like it, it's a fun gimmick

>>7150998
pretty good in a well-lit room, tilting the game boy around obscures view of screen sometimes, can get quite annoying

>>7148998
This op, sweety, your post is bigoted

>>7149182
>SOULFUL

>>7149137
The Genesis had plenty of black carts.

>>7149172
Tekken 3 is better

>>7151887
If by "carts" you mean "owners"

>>7152128
joj

>>7150570
I still have that black and red vmu.

>>7150895
I had this but the pal one was the boring grey.

Famicom cartridges are not only a wide array of colors but also shapes and materials and fuck, one company even put an LED light on theirs for some fucking reason

The buggy version of Turok Rage Wars was black, can't never forget the disappointment.

>>7152128
Nope. I know plenty of white kids who owned a Sega Genesis.

>LED light for no raisin
I like that.

>>7150895
I beat SNES Doom on real hardware. It runs like fucking shit, but the music is god tier.

Nubian cartridges.

>>7153436
I remember renting the game regularly as a kid, and at the end of Act 1, when you are supposed to die and go to hell in other versions of the game, it would just game over. I was probably doing something wrong.
I'm not replaying this 10 fps slideshow to find out.

>>7153436
This was the only DOOM I had as a kid, when I got my first pc I had to get the SNES Music wad for it, the MIDI's have so much more bass to them.

>>7153436
>>7153815
What midi device was it recorded with? You could get the same sound, but clearer on PC, but finding it and using it.
But yes, it sounds way better than Soundblaster, which was what everyone actually had.

>>7150586
Yeah those were neat, but the only one that came out before they started doing that stupid top light bar was the clear one so I never got any of the other colours.

>>7149172
>>7149137
black is a shade not a color. if we want to get more technical black is the absence of color.

>>7153436
I played that version the most too, never beat it though because the microscopic resolution made it fucking impossible. I don't think I'd play it again but the shitty compressed renditions of the OST is my favourite.

>>7150586
I should have snagged the slate grey PS3 controllers when they came out (as a walmart exclusive thanks sony), now they're overpriced to fuck

>>7152108
Probably maybe.
I wouldn't compare a snes fighting game to a ps1 game tho.

Peak SOUL right here. Yeah these are shittier ports, but the first game is great on N64.
I love having the Og tony hawk trilogy in cartridge form on my n64. Fun games to pop in.

>>7148993
I've always thought that colored cartridges indicated that these games were extremely difficult. Maximum Carnage, Doom, and Zelda were all difficult for me.

>>7151470
James Thomas Edison here

give me back my cartridge, Eric

Not when it comes to plastics you dumb shit. The natural color of plastics is a whitish color.

>>7148993
>$165, no box
Yikes, I wouldn’t have paid $1.65 for this piece of shit ~30 years ago, but I guess it’s rare...

>>7155724
Those ports are absolutely upsetting to play, though. They're only okay if you never played the games on another platform.

>>7157215
The first game on N64 is a fine port.
The second game is fine with the exception of the musical cutbacks. Honesty if you played the games as much as me you probably don't listen to the soundtrack any more.
3rd game is basically the same as the ps1 port, but also suffers the same musical cutbacks.
none of them have the FMVs, which I could care less about.
these are fine ports in my eyes and I like owning these classics in cartridge forms. Of course as a huge fan of the series, I also own the other versions of these games.

>>7157251
Does 3 have any of the secret characters?

>>7157251

I would say it's a pretty big fucking deal, my dude.

>>7157420
like I said I don't play these games for the soundtracks. I have heard all the thps songs a million times, so I listen to other stuff while I play.

>>7150989
Underrated

>>7154768
>thinking that being pedantic is a sign of intelligence
kys midwit.

>>7149230
The original? Absolutely.
The new one on XBox is absolute trash, and should be avoided.

>>7157361
N64 version you can play as wolverine but thats it.

>>7154768

>>7154768
Actually, black is the mix of non reflecting colors

>>7148993
I would have to have a seperate system specifically for colored cartridges.

>>7154768
Only middle schoolers feel smart saying this

>>7154768
For light, yes. For pigments and dyes, black is the mixture of all colors. Go take a painting class.

>>7149148
Switch FireRed and Ruby, please. My OCD is acting up

>>7158229
I can't believe it took nearly a decade for a faithful romhack of the story to be made. Has anybody created reproduction carts as well?

A heap of megadrive and master system games from a bit after 1993 were this wierd grey colour, the look a bit rushed since some have signs of injection molding marks.

>>7152390
they did that because unlike NES, the famicoms didn't have power LED

>>7153436
Try mod the frame rate.
