/vr/ - Retro Games

>>7407501
Dare we call it a hidden gem?

>>7407641
I think over time Fear Effect has become a hidden gem. It's weird to think there's a time when so many games were trying different spins on the Resident Evil formula.

>>7407501
can we have a gentlemen agreement that FE2 was never real and is at most a 2/10?

>>7407501

>>7407501

>>7407774
Is it worse than the first one? Or just more of the same?

>>7407842
A store near me has this game for like $150 bucks. I think it's sealed.

>>7407842
Spent so much time playing this and Hogs of War with friends.

>>7407828
10/10 game that nobody played.

>>7407828
>>7408145
I did, one of the few games I've beat with my dad as a kid. It's great.

>>7408158
There is a PC version (webm related) but it isn't quite as good.

>>7407641
>literally any term referring to anything
>anonymous: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>7408169
Didn't know there was a PC version, looks good enough from the webm. I actually got the game a couple years ago for the sake of replaying it with him again.

>>7408214
The gamma is super dark and it doesn't quite have as multipurpose controller bindings like the PS1 layout.

This game is a lot of fun with the dual shock. Still need to get a guncon to try it like that.

people seem to appreciate it now but back in the day they didn't

>>7407501
I had a lot of fun torturing enemies with this game

It's a hoot with friends

>>7408284
I never remember anyone disliking Legends or its sequels. It did get maligned as OoT came around and other styles of camera and character control became unpopular, but I don't think that sentiment is as common today.

>Iblard - Laputa no Kaeru Machi
Basically an interactive Naohisa Inoue painting with light adventure elements.
>Chou-Kousoku Grandoll and Kaisoku Tenshi
Two good sidescrolling action games.
>Intelligent Qube and Sound Qube
I.Q is pretty well known, but Sound Qube it also really good, it's about using a sonar thing to determine the material of cubes.
>Korokoro Post Nin
It is like Cameltry but with a girl. What sets it apart from the simple marble games of this kind is the interactions with the slopes, since the movement is momentum based. It reminds me of Umihara Kawase a bit.
>Zoku Gussun Oyoyo
Cool puzzle game by Irem. It is like Tetris + Lemmings (with just one character though). You need to drop tetrominoes to make a path for the character, but the fun thing is that you can also use the pieces to squash enemies.
>UFO - A Day in the Life
Basically a sequel to Moon, but you play as an alien photographer. I think it doesn't have a translation, but it should be doable to play it using a text hooker, the AI translator from RA or something like that, the writing is pretty simple.
>Tiny Bullets
Basically an anime-style clone of Tomb Raider.
>Ten Made Jack
A platformer from Enix. It is very simple, but I found it to be charming. It reminds me a bit of Tomba because of the climbing. This is totally vertical, since it is based on the Jack and the Beanstalk fable.
>Tall - Infinity.
This is a "dice rolling" game kinda similar to Devil Dice, but it is 2.5D. The core of the game is combining sides of dice of the same color to create more dice and build towers.
>Aquanauts Holiday and Tail of the Sun
Exploration-focused games from Kazutoshi Iida (the Doshin guy). Tail of the Sun has a clearer objective, but both are very sandbox-y.
>Ore no Ryouri
Cooking game with order management.
>B.L.U.E Legend Of Water
Underwater adventure exploration game with a dolphin bud. Kind of a more futuristic Tomb Rider vibe, but with a lot more dialogue. I love underwater exploration games.

>>7408331
I remember a lot of my friends had never heard of it or played it. Admittedly I got it used but only a few years old.

>>7408345
>I.Q is pretty well known
Kurushi is a much better name though.

>>7407501

>>7408284
>>7408348
My first console was the nes, but my first and only mega man game was Legends. I loved it, was hooked on it. Don't even remember how I got it. Maybe from one of my brother's friends. I did end up replaying it recently and 100%ing it. Still great. Gonna play the sequels, and yes I do plan to play the actual mega man games.

Duke Nukem: Time to Kill

>>7407759
Yeah it was a big deal at the time but was quickly forgotten, like Ally McBeal.

>>7408284
My friend had a cd burner and sold ps1 copies around school. I asked him for Legends 1 and he got me a copy. Since it took him a week to download it he decided to give it a shot and burn himself a copy too. The next day he's all pissed off at me telling me the game sucks and that I should pay him for the blank disc he wasted on it. I'm like "dude this game is actually good".

I think the first part of the game in the cave gave a bad first impression. The graphics and draw-distance are kinda shitty but get much better when you land on the island after.

>>7408572
Same here, I never liked megaman games. Kinda found them difficult so my first real experience was with Legends.

I did really enjoy the gameboy Megaman Zero games though.

>>7408326
Funny, I just picked this game up because as a kid I had a copy of Power Move Pro Wrestling and this game was advertised on the back.

>>7408320
I just bought this game too. My son seems to like it a lot.

>>7408384
the moba-esque multiplayer in this is fun as fuck

>>7408284
just got MML2 and I'm shocked that the first game is also $60~ now. Wasn't it a greatest hits game? I remember buying the N64 port sealed in 2011 for $20.

>>7408693
so is it called zone or one? i love unreadable boxart

>>7407828
why is this shit so expensive

>>7408345
>Buncha jap shit
Fuck off weeb, this board is for QUALITY GAMES, not your animay bullshit!

>>7408145
i played it. i remember one of close last clocks was a bitch to get to.

>>7408690
The titty jiggle in the anime intro gave me some of my first instant rigid erections

>>7408284
this is kinda one of the most discussed games here on /vr/ i shit you not. I had a really pleasant thread to this series that lasted a week. I love it and nobody can make me think otherwise

>>7408231
Oh ok, it does look like shit. It's like Tomb Raider 3 on PS1 which is also dark as fuck

>>7408729
to gatekeep bandwagoners like you

>>7408721
Where are you seeing a Z, anon?

>>7407501
I wanna play this game!

>>7408729
That’s literally nothing compared to actually expensive games

>>7408729
>45 dollars for a complete copy in nice condition
>expensive
step it up nigga

>>7409180
It's got such a good look. The looping FMV backgrounds are super cool, action is pretty good, and it's got pretty good voice acting. Totally suits the trashy 80s anime it looks like.

>>7408652
You just reminded me that I randomly rented a Megaman X game for PS1 from blockbuster in my early teen years. I thought it was fuckin awesome. I sure as hell didn't beat it and remember it being tough but it was fun as hell. Not sure if it was Legends that brought me to try it or if it was before that.

>>7408729
>he didn't buy it back in the day
u dun goofed

>>7410309
You could have rotated the picture before you upload it retard

>>7410309
the GTA2 cover was one of the best ever it stands out against anything

>>7410309
I’m sorry, PAL.

>>7407501
Fear Effect 2 still filters the shit out of me as an adult. There's a way to play the weirdly complex combat in a way that you don't die, and I don't remember what it is at all.

Is it weird whenever I hear about a cool PSX game and want to play it but if there's a PC port I immediately lose interest? I primarily play on PC but it always makes me feel indecisive if it's on both, especially if they have different aesthetics on PC vs console.

>>7407828
Looney Tunes had a pretty good track record on PS1. Sheep Raider's definitely the most original and overlooked of the three though.

>>7408284
This game sucks

>>7408574
This.

I heard people criticize it but I played it, turns out it's a blast.

>>7408183
Pic related; You when someone mildly critiques the e-celeb that you are simping.

>>7411162
was lost in time that good?

>>7411198
not him but enjoyed it quite a bit as a kid at least, way better than average licensed game for sure

>>7411198
It was pretty fun. Soulful low-poly visuals, good level design and a lot of variety in the environments. Pretty sure Sheep Raider runs on the same engine.

Throw Alien Trilogy in this category too.

The first game and Frontline are popular and well-regarded but I never see anyone talk about pic-related.

>>7411246
The better version

Surprisingly-competent port that has no business running on PS1.

>>7411301
>MISS BEHAVE

>>7411235
Alien trilogy really suffers from its control scheme. Alien resurrection suffers fro ma tiny FoV.

>>7407501
This was so different playing it a few years ago than what I remember watching a friend play at my house when it came out. It's really good though. You just have to get the hang of it at first, and they're good about having very fair checkpoints. Later in the game once you understand it you won't die much.

>>7408247
shit this looks awesome, and those quality cutscenes, damn. I need to try this out.

>>7408320
I played the fuck out of the demo for this, loved it so much, I always wanted this game so bad but I could never find a copy to purchase it.

>>7408708
does anyone know why sony originally went with these big ps1 cases in the first place? it seems like a no brainer to just make it a cd case from the very beginning.

>>7407501
Didn't they announce a remake? Whatever happened to Sedna?

>>7414592
As far as I am aware those big cases where only for NA (possibly japan) - the european market got chunky CD cases.

>>7414593
it's dogshit and they changed the artstyle to generic cel shaded look

>>7414598
ah ok, thank you.

>>7407501
Any one play that new fear effect that came out like 5 or so years ago?

>>7411162
the sequel where you can play with Taz in 2 player co-op for a 3D platformer style game was very keen for the time and not many afterward tried that

>>7411304
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NrEZILY47A
lmao this looks like a ps2 game almost

>>7414601
It was always imitating cel shaded style

>>7407501
never played 1 but I'll never forget 2

>>7414793
I never played either but I have masturbated to both before

>>7411301
This was my jam on the N64

>>7411235
Damn I totally forgot that I had Alien Trilogy. Gotta start playing it again.
>>7408690
Never realised there was a vidya adaptation. Thanks for the rec.

>>7415609
I almost forgot to include this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tn_EbxXr7VY

>>7408701
Fuck yeah this is the kind of dumbfuck arcade "racing" I like. The only game I can think of where you can kill a helicopter with your car

>>7408701
Fun little action game with a weirs style and a good/bad dub. The setting reminds me of god hand with more JAPAN

>>7415626
*Weird west style
Forgot to drop my recommendation. The sequel in Dreamcast is a tighter game but got a ps1 port JP/PAL only just called Psychic Force 2 with more characters and an editor mode where you can pick a character and give them anyone's moves. The music for all the games is great too since it's Zuntata

>>7415609
Courier crisis really doesn't play that well.

>>7415661
For a second I almost thought you were serious

Does anyone know the name of a certain Japanese game?
All I remember is that it was Japanese only but had English voices, had an open world in snowy American suburbs with a Twin Peaks kind of vibe.
>>7408690
The soundtrack in this FUCKS

>named ray tracers
>no raytracing in the game

>>7415810
>>7415820
thanks a lot.
holy shit, human entertaiment are insane. how did no one pick up to publish this in the west?

>>7414639
Good game, I remember renting it.

>>7415576
N64 was arguably the best version, it even had a leg up on the Dreamcast since it supported 4-player splitscreen while Dreamcast only supported 2-player despite being more powerful and having four controller ports.

>>7414651
It's got a weird premise and the controls take some getting used to but it's pretty good. Like a survival horror game without a horror theme.

>>7414592
It was the standard for the time with the precedent set by Sega CD and 3DO, but traditional jewel cases were obviously way more economical and practical so they stopped doing longboxes after around 8 months or so.

>>7414778
i hope you're joking and can tell the difference between artstyles

>>7416580
I hope you can learn to understand the terms you use and address your confusion by yourself next time you get booty bothered by plainly stated facts. The whole reason Fear Effect 1 and 2 looked so good compared to other PSX games was its imitation cel shaded style for the characters.

>>7415609
yeEEEEE HAW!

>>7414793
The hottest thing not captured by this image is her moaning and the squishy sounds by the creature

>>7407501
Co-op rail shooter inside a police mecha with a cute female assistant

>>7408690
>>7417539
We rented these two back-to-back. Great stuff.

framerate goes to shit on the later levels though

>>7407641
henlo and welcome to my humble abode, did you know i used to work at sierra

>>7407501
Thanks for reminding me that the remake for this is never ever gonna come out.

>>7408705
but why play this when samurai western exists

>>7407828
based

>>7408384
Fuck yeah, unofficially part of the strike series I think, played pretty similarly

I love Colony Wars, there's something magic about those space explosions

>>7418425
G-Police is better.

>>7418451
lolno

It's literally just Gunbird disguised as no-name shovelware. They recycled this exact same box art for Castle of Shikigami on PS2 and just called it Mobile Light Force 2.

Why the fuck would they do this? Heinous localizations aside they're fun games.

>>7417452
OVA HERE

Nobody talks about it anymore...

>>7407501
The game looks cool but plays like shit

this game is correctly rated as decent but nobody really had anything to hate about it.
it had some pioneering stuff like 3D planar space fights without sluggish controls although limited by play mechanics
https://youtu.be/3WgdTSMQsjY?t=365

>>7420097
the cover art i love for being so retarded, but I think they butcher a bunch of shit for these 2 games in these versions if i recall

>>7421148
Based as fk

>>7411261
The first two medal of honour are gold. Not perfect but very interesting and fun.
You are right, they are not spoken about enough.

>>7408320
My man. Fuck that jungle level.

why nobody talking bout this

>>7423127
because it's PAL only and they didn't get it

>>7423147
fair, I'm in the USA still I think it looks like a fairly enjoyable game. Like if I saw it cheap id import it.

>>7423127
I think this graduated to hidden gem status a long time ago
