/vr/ - Retro Games

yes

>>7881493
My general opinion is "Nice place to visit, wouldn't want to live there".

>>7881493
From time to time, but then I remember how shitty is was back in the 90s I what I really want is some cool fashion and design trends and electronic music from that era.
Past in general is full of shit.

>artic monkeys

not retro

Sitting in front of my small late 80’s CRT television playing Super Mario All Stars is one of my more comfy childhood memories.

No not a chance unless being upper-middle class is part of the whole daydream

Why are so many nincels gay?

I would love to go back and do it all again. Not only would it be nice to have early internet and video game magazines again, but it would be nice to do high school again just for fun.

>>7881682
This is why I appreciate the here and now.

theres nothing from your youth you cant still enjoy today. the only thing you dont have is youth itself, but even that is more to do with your mindset than actual age.

youre not old until youre dead

>>7881758
How do I recapture the novelty and wonder of childhood without drugs?

>>7881803
Just use drugs, that’s what they’re for. Low dose of shrooms and a decent amount of weed will bring it all back.

>>7881493
I never left.

>>7881729
Around the same age here

Say what you want about connectivity today but its nice that I can bullshit with classmate from 15 years ago while taking a poop

>>7881667
I was looking at that too. It says 98 on the picture, was it faked then?

>>7881803
>without drugs
honestly don't believe it's possible for most people. just stop being a fag and get some psychedelics.

>>7881758
Wrong, the internet changed too much to be enjoyable in the same way.

>>7881803
Novelty and wonder of childhood is derived from experiencing things you never have before.

Games are a great way to do that as there are so many games you have never played with worlds and stories you've never experienced. You can also experience it through new hobbies, travel, etc.

Plus people like alcohol and sex that adds a bit of childlike fun to things

>>7881660
>From time to time, but then I remember how shitty is was back in the 90s
What? Not in North America. 80s and 90s were both massively better than 00s and 10s in almost every conceivable way

>>7881729
What are you talking about? The internet made life worse. The horrible downsides aren't worth the minor upside of pirating media

>>7882048
lel its the exact opposite in Eastern Europe

>The internet made life worse.
Speak for yourself. You didn't drive a hard to find import vehicle in the early 00s. That shit sucked to maintain and find parts for and would've been fucking worse without internet access.

>>7882059
The centralization of internet is what ruined everything.

I don't get it, my late teens into my early 20s were terrible, full of uncertainty about my life and how shit was going to turn out and a whole lot of doubt/uncertainty. Shit has literally never been better for me in the last five years

>>7881667
Also not good
What’s with that random sonic youth poster among all those buttrock bands too?

>Energy crisis
>Rise of terrorism/War on Terror

90's were objectively superior and ten times comfier to grow up in.

>>7881493
Not quite, the ease of access to the internet today is much too convinient to give up.
It's much easier to apply for a job now a days and the improvments to technology are certainly benificial.

That being said, I really do want a pre-9/11 world where war on terror didn't keep leaking into other fasets of everyday life.
It'd probably be easier to find maintain my car back in the early 2000s and I really miss the days when people weren't so politically correct.
TV shows were better in the 90's and early 2000s, at least in my opinion, music and movies too.

3D games; I think, truely peaked in 2005 all the way to 2012, everything pass that point are just refinements to the craft.
The only major improvment I can think of to 3D pass 2012 would be RTX.
2D games to me will always belong to the 90s and will always belong to a golden era in video games.

>>7881729
>middle of nowhere OH
>that shitty description

Southeastern OH then?

>>7881493
I do not wish to go back to a time when I had no freedom

>>7881879
Definitely or at least the date is wrong. Artic Monkeys guys must have been around 13 years old in 1998.

>>7883391
Also the TV looks like a mid 2000's model as well not that I think about it, what a weird photo!

nah I wouldn't go back, its in the past. let bygones be bygones. I would like to visit for 1 day give me 24 hours other than that I wouldn't want to.

also
>have pc back in 90's
>emulators were a thing back then
>play all snes games when ps1 was out
I remember those times
I got everything I want from back then and whatever was lost is just a memory. Probably the only thing Id want to keep is my recorded cassette tapes I had that I threw away

>>7881493
oh yeah, go back to...
>parents splitting up
>secondhand smoke everywhere
>can't afford games, always a gen behind
>moving from place to place on an annual basis
>never had long term friends
>bullied constantly
>can never do what I want when I want
nah, I'm good here

>>7881493
Every fucking day.

I would go back just due to being a kid with 0 responsibilities was top comfy. My parents would not buy me video games, think the most expensive present I ever got was a bmx bike.
But I did get an "allowance" for doing chores, homework, etc. My first system I owned was a damn NES in like 94. All my friends already had snes/sega by then so they did unload their old nes games on me, dont think I ever had to pay for a game and had easily over 100.
>playing my pic related into the wee hours of a sat night sometime in the early 90s...Ahh good times

>>7881493
Every single day

Being an adult sucks
I wanna be a kid again, relive my childhood, no care in the world
I miss those times

>>7881493

Surface level, a lot. After 2 mins of thought? Not really at all. No money, no freedom, parents fought all the time, so nah homie I'm good. I'd rather make a little 90's themed nerd cave and enjoy my old consoles and media on my own terms in the comfort of secure adulthood. Pot and alcohol will help me with the childhood wonder.

I wouldn't go back. I have a good life now. I'd visit for maybe a day or two, grab that girls ass again, but then fastforward back into the current times, and have my kids and wife again.

>>7881758
To an extent yeah. But there's just some things that are lost to time like the early internet and usefulness of those old computers, the culture, and likelihood of getting friends who are interested in these old games.

>>7881682
Ironically having free access to unlimited information made people dumber. Studies have shown people attached to their technology have significantly worse long term memory than those who use their technology sparingly. Knowing all that extra info is always available has a mental effect where your brain doesn't want to commit to remembering things. The smarter civilization becomes the dumber its individuals become, kinda funny.

>>7881604
This basically. It would be awesome to get to relive a few days of your childhood. But when you think about it, there are a lot of not so great or even outright bad memories as well.

Also, I don't know about you guys but high school sucked ass for me. Middle school was pretty awesome overall though. So anything pre 2000 I'd enjoy going back to. High school just has too many bad memories for me.

>>7881493
2000-2005 I'd do immediately. Wouldn't even have to think about it.

The 90s was the best time of my life -- pure happiness without bad thoughts in the back of my head, no worries in the world, everything was great back then. It was comfy. When I saw an episode of the Simpsons where Bart had a hand-held TV he brought with him to class, I thought it was the coolest thing ever and imagined a world where I could go to school and have a screen in my hand where I could watch whatever I wanted. I thought it would never happen, and that that kind of technology just wasn't possible. Now we have smartphones where we can do that. Watch any show anywhere. But now the shows suck. Something I thought about the other day was that I can be happy that I can relive the 90s whenever I want to: when I listen to vengaboys, it takes me back. when I drive by my old house, it takes me back. The 90s are always in my soul. I can always be happy knowing I lived it.

>>7881493
I'd only go back if i was an adult. Like spend a day in 1993 or some shit. Maybe

>>7882540
>It's much easier to apply for a job now a days
And you never have your CV looked at because there are a few hundred more people applying for the same job, or you get filtered because you don't match some keywords. It's on the same level of humiliation as handing a manager your CV just to have him toss it in the bin.

>>7881493
My childhood sucked so same

>>7886019
Heres a pro tip when writing a resume. Add a shitload of keywords in size 1 text colored white at the bottom. The computer deciding to push the resume forward so it actually gets seen will scan your document and register all the keywords. List all the big collages, list all the ethnicities, list all the age groups, list all the dumb keywords like "team building, problem solving, project management" and the like.

>>7881493
I think about it all the time...

>>7883474
you're not one of those idiots who sold their NES shit didnt ya?

I only ever had 9 NES games ever back then, and rented most of it,then in the last 2000s i started hunting down NES games until 2013 when the millenial hipsturds infiltrated the community, and like everything else they perverted, they shit it up.

>when you think about a game you used to love as a kid
>when you remember how much easier and better life was back then

It's your damn fucking CELL PHONE.

Turn your routers wifi off. Leave your cell in the kitchen. Lan only! It's 50% of the battle.

Going back would be cool because women were way hotter than today's trash and also it was easier to pick up girls back in the day. For some reason I feel like junk food tasted better then (Snickers, McDonald's, etc). Even EGGS didn't have those weird white things on the yoke. Bread tasted better (but went stale sooner).

It's way better now but more expensive to live. I actually feel like the last 2 decades for me were wasted waiting for the rest of society to get to my level. Sure SJWs are annoying but everybody used to be a NORMIE. And if you were different in the slightest way they would not shut the fuck up about it. The normies are still around but there is more non normies.

>>7889050
>Even EGGS didn't have those weird white things on the yoke
lmao yes they did retard

>>7889050
I know this will sound cucked as hell but my wife forces me to keep the wifi in our house. Even after I picked a house with no cell phone service specifically to help me with my internet addiction. Apparently she needs internet but its MY problem with internet addiction. We didn’t have internet for 3 months when we first moved in and it was the happiest time of my life since the 90s

>>7889103
just don't use the Internet if you have a problem with it retard, it genuinely isn't her fault that you do

>>7882307
>Rise of terrorism/War on Terror
If youre talking about the middle east we have been there a lot longer than that thanks to (((them)))

I kinda want to, but realistically it wouldn't do me any good.
My late 90's/early00's childhood is made of wonderful memories, but also a lot of frustration. I was lucky enough to own a PS1 with pirate games and an N64 (with rental games only) and have a great transition from 4th to 5th gen. But after that, nothing. Just a family PC that could barely run Age of Mythology. I'm among the 5% of game enthusiasts who missed the PS2 because we couldn't afford it.
One of my absolute favorite games growing up was Metal Gear Solid. I was obssesed with it. I can't tell you how bad I felt when I saw the trailers for the second part, then it came out and I was unable to get on my hands on it.
Most games nowadays might no be as magical as they once were, but at least everything is more accesible and I can discover everything I missed back in the day thanks to ports and emulation.

>>7889110
>i know you have uncontrollable alcoholism but hunny i need every inch of our home to be filled with beer

Yeah I’m addicted to the internet. I’m shit posting here right now instead of working on my goals and dreams. I’m completely content living without internet but I can’t handle unlimited access with no escape in my own home. I also don’t allow sodas and sweets in my home because then i would get fat. “Self control” is a meme, we choose our environment and any serious about quitting something removes it from their life as step 1 in the process. The internet is everywhere and no married man can disconnect it

honestly as someone who was born in 1996 i want to fucking kill myself knowing i can never experience those days. i am old enough to remember parts of the early 00s, but too young to have experienced them properly. i remember browsing the early 00s internet and wishing i could partake in it fully but i was just a young kid, so i couldn't and nobody would take me seriously. by the time i grew into teenage and then adult years, things had changed irreparably. i just fucking want to go back. i wish i was born in 1976 instead so i could experience being this age in a better time

>>7883395
Also the headstock on the guitar is indicative of SX (sometimes Essex), which is mid-late 2000s

I genuinely make my living online using the massive audience stuck on the internet today so going back would be a major set-back in every way.

unless you mean "you're transported back to the past as a child but you retain your sense of self and knowledge, and you're back to having no adults responsibilities but now you feel isolated from your peers because it feels weird playing GoldenEye 007 with the neighborhood kids when you possess the experience and mindset of a 25+ year old, but also you're fully aware of the horrors the future has in store for everyone and you can't do anything about it", then... yeah probably still not

>>7881493
I wouldn't want to go back, although life and society was better. The reason I wouldn't want to go back is I feel like that is hiding from trying to fix what's wrong with today. I don't want to do what my parents generation did, which was to not recognize (((them))) and their agents taking control of society and leave an even harder battle for people of my age. If I'm ever lucky enough to have children I at least want to be able to tell them I tried to fight the world for them.

>>7889160
>born 1996
>wishes you were born exactly 20 years before then
Holy crap we are twins, although I'm not really hung up on that fantasy because I enjoy the friends and lifestyle I've built today. It's just if I had a choice, I'd choose to move my life back 20 years.

I'm lucky that my brother is 10 years older than me. I had all of his childhood media (vidya, TV, music, and movies) and even clothes as handmedowns. I got to experience a more diverse childhood than most people because of how ours overlapped. I played everything from Atari 2600 to PS3 during my childhood, and all of my favorite games are older than me lol.

>>7889209

same kind of thing, except i was an only child, but had cousins older than me who passed a lot of their shit on to me

i feel like this almost made it worse because i grew up experiencing a lot of 90s/early 00s culture, but by the time i was of an age old enough to really engage with shit and socialise online etc, it was the late 00s/early 10s and everything had changed beyond belief. i first posted on gamefaqs forums when i was like 7 years old. by the time i was old enough to be able to be respected in those communities it was like 2012. wtf man

>>7889215
>i first posted on gamefaqs forums when i was like 7 years old
I USED TO POST ON NEOSEEKER WHEN I WAS 7
Man that's crazy. I never revealed my age online though so I didn't experience the lack of respect factor. I was only 10 years old when I first started playing RS but I probably lied and said 16.

>>7881493
i have like every fucking game ever released on a few flashcarts so uh no.

The longer I live, the more I realize 1989 was the ideal year to be born. Early enough to having been alive for important hallmarks of recent history, and early enough to experience the 90's and the 2000s as a sapient grown human, but not so early that I'd be an old fuck today. I wish I was born in the 80's.

>>7889160
the internet pre-2001 was something else, it really was the wild west back then. I would like to just re-experience that time before Google, Amazon and Facebook swallowed it all up.

>>7889160
>>7889209
I snuck in 5 years before you and I think I had _that_ much better of a time. I had internet in 1999 and remember going to game forums (cheatplanet lol) and even though MySpace was the decline of the Wild West, in 2004-2007 it kept some of the memory alive just a bit longer.

BUT

We have all that stuff today. The world might be skullfucked but whatever, keep on the path and you'll find that there are others out there who feel the same way. Sort of like >>7889207 says, except that I don't think there's much we can do about it on a large scale anymore. Local communities only.

>>7889323
you can literally do all of this now you retarded faggot, and without dial-up speeds. holy shit nostalgiafags need to be gassed.

>>7881604
Why did you get beat up back then or something?

I used to want to go back, it was the whole reason I collected and assembled a retro gaming room, but then I got in shape and realised now was the best point of my life, and back then I just had a room like OPs that I was embarrassed to take girls into, and I was kinda sad, just sitting playing my games half the time instead of really enjoying my teens.

>>7881493
Long gone are those days innocent and simpler times before internet spoilers ruined everything. You will never experience the pure joy and wonder of seeing a new game kiosk at toys r us ever again. Sad.

>>7889207
it's a really good thing you post this embarrassing shit on an anonymous site
you'll be so glad of that when you get older

>>7890769
Don't know what you expected in a nostalgia thread on a board dedicated to video games from the past.

>>7881493
every waking moment

>>7881493
Nope only reason I'm having fun with retro games now is because I get to choose what games to play not just whatever my parents would buckle and buy me. Also I no longer have to share one console with 2 video games obsessed brothers who would chimpout if you wanted a save spot.

>>7892450
I schizo post on Facebook about the collapse of our society. In twenty years, if society hasn't completely collapsed by then, I'll be lucky if I'm not dead. Or maybe unlucky given the way this world is

Fuck the 90s. Fuck the 00s. Now is the best time to live.

>>7883391
yeah they didn't form until '02. A lot of people at that time never bothered changing the databack to its current date on those cameras

>>7895015
‘84 here totally agree there is a real dark side to the 90s. It was fun and magical sometimes but the toxic masculinity made it stressful and depressing for me. Kids would also have to deal with abuse from their shitty boomer parents.

It’s like those silly video games were all some of us had to live for. If you were a shy nerd you wouldn’t even have drugs to keep you company. At least now as adult in BC I can walk into a store and buy all the weed edibles I want to take the pain away. All the boomers could offer me was Jesus, man up or anti-depressants/anti psychotics.

I’d likely be a tranny if it was pushed back then like it is today.

>>7895015
lol

>>7895857
Yup. Some boys were on anti-depressants because they had “issues”. That was when the medical industrial complex started targeting us. The only reason I’m here today is because I was too much of a pussy to kill myself. I tried I just couldn’t do it.

>>7884082
Yeah. Online gaming back in the days of Quake and Quake 2 was just… different. Where I’m from you had a lot less trolls in games because back then literally everyone in an online match knew everyone else IRL either directly or indirectly through another friend.

So while we did still behave like a bunch of deranged retards it was all in good humour and since we all knew each other there were limits since if you behaved like a complete asshole chances are you’d eventually get a nice smacking across the face by someone you know or don’t.

There was just a much stronger sense of community since back then PC gaming was seen as something only geeks and other uncool kids did. We were totally fine with the label since it gave us our own little world to screw around in and you don’t really get this anymore.

Oh we were also really fucking naive. Our clan leader for example was like 40 and we’d go to his house for a BYOD despite being in our mid-teens LMAO and we didn’t give a shit as long as we had a blast. Looking back it legit looked like a pedo grooming den. Fun times.

I find that as I got older I really struggle to meet new friends. Late 90’s IRC chat rooms were fucking awesome too and some of my longest friendships were formed out of random “hey wanna meet up IRL?” hookups. Some things are just not the same anymore.

>the world can't change on its own, it was always made to change
See how it being made to change 50 years ago changed it compared to how it's being changed now.

>>7895829
The tranny shit is a psyop to sterilize degenerate retards and the mentally ill. It serves no other purpose than weakening society and cleansing the gene pool.
The reality is that we need degenerate retards. A lot of the best things on the internet were made by degens. Once nerd culture became commodified and turned into a "product" the degens and nerds flocked to tranny shit instead in a desperate attempt to find a new bunker away from cultural acceptance so they could go back to living like anti-social anti-normie mole people like they were for years before hand.

This probably sounds really stupid but the vast majority of cool nerds I knew or knew of in the 2000s are all trannies now. Once the internet changed they all became trannies and instead of making cool romhacks or YouTube videos or artwork like they did 20 years ago all they do now is post on Twitter about trans rights with other trannies.

This is not a better world. I don't even hate trans people, I just know the rise in trans and LGBT people in general is artificial, and I was raised by my fucking gay uncle so I never had anything against gay people to begin with.

they've existed for way longer than you think, you just sound like a schizo
>vast majority of cool nerds I knew or knew of in the 2000s are all trannies now
kind of an eyebrow-raiser considering your previous claim
>I don't even hate trans people
doubt

Literally look at TCRF/Juul, smwcentral, Spriter's Resource, any other fucking romhacking/fangaming/retro-creativity circle and you'll notice that everybody has transitioned within the past decade. I didn't say trans people didn't exist until now but I'm not surprised you're the type to put words into someone else's mouth to try and reaffirm themselves. I know trans people have existed for fucking centuries, I know trans communities have existed for centuries, I'm talking about the literal Present Day Present Time. I apologize for having to elaborate and hopefully one day you'll get over your crippling addiction to being a passive-aggressive retard like most people on a post-Twitter internet.

And no, I don't hate trans people. I've been fucking friends with trans people for years before any of this shit went down and I have trans family. That's why the phrase "transtrender" exists, there's a difference between someone with gender dysphoria and someone who's just a degenerate fetishist wearing programming socks and shitposting on social media. Does that make sense to you? Do you get what I'm saying? Do you understand how creepy fucking Twitter groomers make my actual trans and gay family look bad by association? Do you understand the massive fucking uptick in this shit is not natural?

They didn't start using that logo until around the release of A.M. so that dates the photo to circa 2013 at the earliest.

It’s been quite a shock seeing all the nerd trannies pop up. I don’t think of them as degenerates rather it’s just that nerdism and autogynephilia strongly overlap. Ok some of them can be kinda disgusting but I’m not a /pol/tard anymore and i really want to be tolerant of them if I’m able. I totally get the appeal of trooning out being an AGP nerd myself but the tranny path was not for me.

>>7896231
Tranny is to zoomers on 4chan what cuck was to late millennials. Same deal with schizo replacing autist. The zoomers are just trying to sound original.

The way I see it, we're just over 20 years into widespread and accessible internet access. 10 years since everybody achieved even more accessible internet in their pocket. There was a sexual revolution and awakening that occurred during that time for younger age groups. Societal dialogue has accelerated. People have found very specific communities, while church communities dwindle. It all makes sense to me and I just accept it. I've got a handful of trans and gender fluid friends who are more or less normal-ass people. It struck a chord with me further when I've been asked to chaperone a trans friend because they've been assaulted before for no real reason. I don't believe anybody has any good or valid reasons to hate trans people or default to them being bad people worth criticizing other than using that as an excuse to glaze over their own discomfort. Reactionaries tend to be far more cringe than legit trans people only trying to live their lives the way they want to. People buy too much into hyperbole about people and things they have little understanding or experience with and this awful website is no exception. "I want to go back to the 90's so I don't have to look at trannies" is a pretty shitty claim to make and I'm sorry that those with that view are so inconvenienced and allow that rent-free space in their head to be occupied by imaginary trans squatters.

The past 15 years have not changed naturally, nor did they change at a normal pace.

They're mentally ill and their delusional fantasy shouldn't be encouraged. And YOU'RE part of the problem you fucking retard.

Can you explain to me what the difference between a white person saying there trans black or trans asian is and a biological male saying there a female? What's the difference. Protip. There's literally no difference. Except one is considered "crazy" and the other is being forced as "normal"

>It's much easier to apply for a job now a days
It's also much easier for the employers to set up a bot that automatically trashes your CV if you don't meet certain keywords.
Technology made it easier for any shmuck from anywhere in the country to apply for a job in your city that would've otherwise be exclusive to the people of your city, thus greatly diminishing your chances of being employed, because the pool is that much larger. Mailing or delivering your CV in person filtered a lot of people by nature of them not even being in your city to compete with you. A job that would've probably been given to you and set you for life in the area you live is now given to someone who's not even from your state, or even your country.

Too bad insults are only effective when deep down you know that they actually apply to you. So in this case something which causes them severe mental trauma does absolutely nothing when used against normal people.

>>7897431
Libel and defamation don't exist?

>>7897432
Oh no, it's retarded. Insults are intended to cause offense, libel and defamation are intended to cause financial and social harm. That's why you can sue for damages for one but not the other.

>you're never going to convince normal people that shit is normal
I don't really have to. Social acceptance of transgender people is growing day by day (causing suicide rates plummet btw). We got gay/lesbian rights, we will get trans/enby rights too.
>>7897376
Oh no, now you are asked to not be a complete dickwad to people. Also you got lower chances of getting you ass beaten to death bc some drunk idiot who decided you are "the gay".
A living hell indeed. Hail Satan.
