/vr/ - Retro Games

Whatever's cheaper for entertainment during my free time.

Man I sure wish I had Jack the Nipper and School Daze as a child instead of Ninja Gaiden and Mega Man 2. I was deprived.

Australiankun is still going at it

The NES. PC didn't develop soul till the late 90's.

Admit it /vr/, PC games sucked compared to console and arcade ones until Doom.

>>7301969

Do I want playable games or Zniggy garbage? That's a tough one.

>>7301795
The NES no regerts.

>removing references to actual nazis in games
Well that doesn't sound very nazi-tier

>>7301795
Get a msx instead of a ZX Spectrum you faggot.

>>7303175
>MSX
Sure if you want to play horrible Spectrum copypaste ports.

>Spectrum games are easily ported to MSX because both machines use the Zilog Z80
>They take zero advantage of the TMS9918

I don't think you realize that comparing a Spectrum to the Z80/TMS9918 standard that the MSX and Colecovision/SG1000 use is like saying a bicycle is more efficient than a motorcycle

>>7301795
Damn, you really should have told us this 35 years ago when people were actually approving these games for commercial distribution.

>>7303175
>MSX Salamander
Are you sure you want to "brag" about that?

It's almost as if the policies of the right contributed to its lasting success. Instead you get a ton of garbage shovelware.

I hate the game industry because there is zero regulation, and when someone like Nintendo tries to regulate things they get slapped with, ironically, government regulation saying NO YOU AREN'T ALLOWED TO HAVE QUALITY CONTROL BAD NINTENDO BAD

>>7301795
I chose everything except the amstrad and the ST. Not the zoomed up 64 or burger famicom versions but same difference. I guess it might have been nice to have an ST but I spent that money on a car instead. No one ever got laid in the back seat of an Atari ST.

What is ever the point of these threads

>>7301795
> Price
Irrelevant nowadays with emulation.
> Being able to make your own games and learn to code
I can 100% guarantee there are more people doing NES homebrew than all those obscure '80s computers combined.

>>7303437
What are you nuts? The C64 and Spectrum have among the biggest homebrew communities of any retro platform. I give that there aren't really a lot of people doing Amstrad stuff.

>>7301795
>Nazi-tier censoring of game content
Imagine thinking US releases mean anything.

>>7303434
Britbongs become furious at the mere mention of Nintendo, particularly the NES. Because the NES was popular everywhere but in their country, they constantly make cope threads that cite things like easy piracy as reasons why micros are superior.

>>7303434
So kids can tell their friends they got a post on the fourth channel

nothing to brag about

>>7301795
the right one of course, i am not a tranny with programmer socks

>>7303175
x68vania is a little disingenuous to compare against a speccy, and I think you know that, but yeah MSX is far better.

>>7303314
It choppily scrolls but even that is far version is far better than any euro-shmup or poor-t to your machines.

... you guys realize nobody makes these consoles anymore right? You're fighting a war that ended decades ago

>>7301973

Ultima sucks like all rpgs.

I take the Arcadepill. Fuck consoles and fuck computers.

>>7304906
>he likes the original pay2win scheme
HAHAHAHAHAHA

>>7304946
>pay2win scheme
Thats unironically every game designed thats been sold.

>>7304951
Nah, arcade games are made artificially difficult in order to make you keep pumping in quarters to get to the ending so they earn more profits.

>>7301795
NES of course

>>7304491
But the autism will never end

>>7301795
Does the NES let me explore the Frontier of the galaxy? Are the soccer games on it Sensible? Am I able to live out my Pinball Fantasies on a Nintendo? Can I go on an adventure on the NES to determine the Fate Of Atlantis? Will the Nintendo system let me become the top agent of the Syndicate?
No? Then I'd rather have fun on Amiga than suffer with the Nintendo Entertainment System.

wait, why wasn't the nes big in bongland?

>>7305369
Nintendo in general didn't care about PAL countries. Games were released late or not at all and poorly adapted to 50Hz so they ran like garbage.

>>7305369
There had to have been some reason they asked Mattel to do the heavy loading for them in the early years

>>7303175
>le smug hesse faec
cringe

>>7305369
Nintendo was lazy about distribution and didn't out in anywhere near the effort they did in America. On top of that, the British were already way into the speccy and C64 so by the time the NES hit the UK it seemed ridiculous to have to buy the console and then upwards of £50 per game when they were used to around 3-5 quid a game.

>>7306949
Granted, although it took a while UK devs did some cool NES stuff such as Ocean titles and Silver Surfer. They also ported some Taito arcade games.

>>7307027
UK devs were making games for the NES pretty early on, or I should say they were being contracted to make games for it. Even if they weren't being sold in the UK the American market was and is vastly bigger so it made sense to make games for it.

Rare did anyway, they imported and reverse engineered a Famicom in, like, 1986 or something.

>>7307052
Amazing. Do you have any pics of the famiclones Rare made using this leet haxor reverse engineering that took them 3 years?

>>7301817

>>7303637
The joke here is that the NES had 5 channels instead of the Commodore's 3.

>>7301973
pretty much

>>7303307
Europe is a wild place, some say they are still raging on.

>>7301795
I choose to knøvvel your thread and shove it up your rævhøl

I pick commodore

Driller runs like absolute shit, but I absolutely love it. Love the visuals, love the stress and love the music

>bongs gave all this up for Microsoft monopoly
Fuck the British and there shit taste. You had Amiga and willingly gave it up

>>7301795
>The only downside is load time
Use turbo tape and fastloader faggot. The real downside was the frequent tape loading errors on the speccy, C64 and CPC didn't suffer from that anywhere as badly because they used digital rather than analog tape drives.

>>7311074
yeah, that. any time you save something (a BASIC program, etc) to tape on a Speccy, do _not_ touch the Volume and Tone knobs on the tape recorder or you may never be able to read it back again.

>>7301795
>Only companies can make games, not you
>He didn't import a famicom, keyboard, data recorder, and family basic

>>7301795
The zee ex speccy is dogshit.

>>7301795
i have an atari st but would want an amiga 1200

>>7311039
true legend the last ninja

same reason i would play 3ds or psp games over shitty mobile games

>>7305369
Nintendo didnt have a succesful console in Yurup until the Wii

>>7303601
>the NES was popular everywhere but in their country
Reality: just japan and the us

>>7312361
the only 2 markets that matter

There's the zoomer terminology again. As expected.
