/vr/ - Retro Games

There is no real way other than maybe going to an arcade. Any fag wearing a 1-Up shirt or something has most likely never fully completed any /vr/ Mario game.

>>812825

>Classic mario is the only mario in which 1-ups appear

>>812828
What the fuck?

Bring a notebooka and invite them to a match of bomberman. Everyone loves bomberman.

I have a friend who enjoys retro vidya, last time we beat Contra and played some Killer Instinct on MAME

I see them at my local game shop hitting on the female employees. I cringe and tend to avoid them they do get me the help I need a lot faster because the girls working do anything to stop talking to them.

>>812953
I had a nigga like that, we beat metal slug 5, aliens, warriors of fate. We gamed the most MAME online all the time. but a while back he got back into playing FFXI again cause some neckbeard told him it was getting popular again. He doesnt talk to me anymore because he's pissed off I played the music from sanic hegehog in his guild channel at full blast. He bant me from vent and wants me to apologize. I aint even mad though dat niqqa is dead to me. Thats my retro friend I gamed with IRL friend too that fucked off for gay MMO shit

>>812978
Man, that story was both hilarious and sad. I feel for you bro. Guess they couldn't handle going that fast.

Fuck that.

I play my GBC in public.

Just mention a current game you're playing in public. Always safe to go with a popular game like Bomberman or Contra.

Retro gaming is something that I prefer to do alone.

Discussing it with you guys is good enough for me.

>>812828
They are in World and 64 too.

I'm not sure anymore. Luckily I still play some newer games, but mainly just DS/3DS stuff.

>anon why are you playing that game? it's old.

Only one who doesn't say that is my little brother who played those games with me as a kid. He's just like "Hey I remember that game, bro :D"

this one time
>random girl is sleeping at my place
>start playing megaman 2
>sleepy girl lifts head in bed
>"anon why are you doing that.."
>because this game is fucking great
>"you are silly.."
>falls back asleep

well that was actually kind of cute.

>>814712

>>random girl is sleeping at my place
>>start masturbating to her
>>sleepy girl lifts head in bed
>>"anon why are you doing that.."
>>because this feels fucking great
>>"you are silly.."
>>falls back asleep

My siblings love to come over and play SSB and SMB3. But that's about the highlight of it.

I'd love to retro game with the fine people here at /vr/ but it might become too /soc/

>>812828
what

Man, I wish I had a buddy that I could play retro games with, or at least appreciates my collection.

Sure my friends play old games with me like Mario Kart, Smash, even single players like Ninja Gaiden and shit but they always quit and want to do something else whenever they die more than twice.

Nigga, you are gonna die more than twice when playing NES.

>Have a little brother
>Popular in elementary
>Biggest CoD kiddie in the world
>Said anything made by Nintendo is fucking gay
>Oh no you don't nigger
>Force him to play SMB3
>Kid loves it
>Begins playing more retro games
>Few years later, he gets similar tastes to mine, hates modern games except for a few
>tfw
>tfw He enters high school
>His tastes make him a social outcast
>My bro is a loser in his HS because of me

>>815001

Then he will enter college and hipster girls will want his retro dick.
As long as he's not fat/ugly, that is.

I have a wife that enjoys our collection but doesnt actually play any of the games

"Hey want to play Super metroid? It's really, really good"

"ehhhh...nah"

repeat

>>812812
>I've pretty much accepted that controller ports 2-4 of my N64 will never be used again.
Good.
>Will I ever find anyone /vr/?
No.

Even the friends that used to like old games before stopped playing with me now. The only multiplayer I can have now is DotAshit, except I don't want it. I'm going to buy a fourpack of Shadows Over Mystara when it's out, but I'm sure I'm going to end up playing with strangers, and if I befriend them, they'll move onto CS1.6 soon enough and call that "retro".

>>815067
Sorry bro, she's just pretending to be interesed.
The good news is that she must really love you.

>I've pretty much accepted that controller ports 2-4 of my N64 will never be used again

That's a real tragedy OP. At uni my m8s and I were still using the fuck out of them for Smash and Kart 64. Thought that was way back in '05-'06 so... fuck where has the time gone?

But yeah. My best friend crashed at my place about two years ago. We hooked up my laptop to the TV and had ourselves some Mario Kart 64 tournies. We did eight of them back to back (150CC + Extra) every single night. It was grand. Goes to show how important those old friendships are bro. Getting older just fucking sucks.

It IS possible however to educate the 'modern gamer' on the classics. I have a 16 year old baby mode cousin that I love and I don't mind hanging out with him at all, despite the ten year age difference. I got him playing Blood on PC and he liked it. We also play Mario Kart 64 sometimes on occasion.

One of my most normalfag (but very dearly loved by me) friends was crashing at my place once. He's my age but was never the kind of gamer I was, naturally. He saw me playing emulated Zelda ALttP once and he was kind of shocked.

One time he called me for a night out and I said I was knackered. He replied, "M8, you're not gonna be playing that Zelda One-D shit instead are you??" I lol'd.

Casualfags will just never get it. They really think graphics makes the game. It's... just too bad.

I find other retro gamers at a store I go to for retro games. I'm friends with the manager for chrissake and I found more people who do the same through him.

They don't solely retro game though. They like video games overall old and new unlike /v/.

>>815149
>They don't solely retro game though. They like video games overall old and new unlike /v/.
There are really so few people who play both?

>>815194
I play both, but prefer retro games. The new shit generally sucks, especially this gen. I hope the upcoming gen is better than what we had this time around.

If it weren't for Dark/Demon's Souls I probably would have just dropped gaming altogether by now.

>>815194
>There are really so few people who play both?

I have always played new games, it's just that as an oldfag "new' to me meant NES at the time, then SNES & Sega CD. Also a PC gamer since the late 80s.

I have been a regular gamer since then, but still go back and play the games from my childhood. At this point I allegedly become a "retro gamer" because I enjoyed these old games (before they became old games).

With that said I do not have a backlog of NES games that I missed that I need to get back to. I rented games every single weekend for my childhood and went through countless titles, good and bad. That was enough for me and I only go back and play the real gems for the genuine nostalgia.

On the other hand I do have a backlog of games released in the past 3 years. I have less free time now and can't give up an entire weekend to grind a JRPG like I could when I was 12. I want to, I just can't.

>>814719
because megaman 2 > sex

>>815135
>They really think graphics makes the game.
It's not even that they only like games with decent graphics. Lots of casuals seem stuck in that fifth-gen mindset where polygons >>>>> pixels and anything else is nostalgia.

>>815084
Maybe she likes to watch him play them? A surprising amount of girls won't dare play video games, but actually enjoy watching people playing them.

>Go to college.
>Typically keep mouth shut about vidya unless someone else proves they know what they're talking about.
>Constantly have people discussing Skyrim, CoD, Minecraft, and Dark Souls in classes around me (though to be fair, Dark Souls isn't that bad).
>Thoroughly annoyed by this.
>Occasionally someone mentions something better.
>Still keep mouth shut until I see what they know.
I eventually found someone there who enjoys old school games as well as the newer ones, and even found someone else who really disliked the turn modern vidya has taken after having grown up with an NES, SNES, and Playstation. It's annoying to try to find people like that, but they are out there.

Where you from op?

Me and my friend anon collect retro games. hit me up bro

>>812812
I would have brought a psp cause emulation, and told you to do the same.

It would still be pretty awesome though to meet someone else that plays old gba games. I just can't stand the no backlight, i've grown too accustomed to having one.

>back in highschool
>talking about games and movies
>friend says: isn't it funny how they started star wars at episode 3?
>other friend says: yeah kinda like final fantasy, why did they call the first game final fantasy VII?

That was basically the moment I realised normal people can't into retro games.

>>817141
well i mean it's sort of like how fallout started with 3

>>817141
>Have friends who enjoy retro games.
>They buy stuff regardless of what condition it's in as long as it's available.
>Try to take some pride in my collection, making sure things have cases and manuals (at least for the disc based ones) and aren't just some disc only games in a shitty plastic sleeve or colored jewel case.
>They ridicule me for it, say I should just buy what's available when it's available and not enjoy the hunt for it.
And those were the friends I had that PLAYED retro games.

I used to work with a /vr/trooper, he was a cool guy but a massive neckbeard and not to mention was a WoWfag AND into LARP...

However, he had a decent collection, much better than my own, and we did spend one very stoned weekend at his apartment playing Perfect Dark on his 64 while his fugly sister got drunk on Frangelico and tried to make fun of us.

I'm still FB friends with this guy, we played some multiplayer Steam games together but we haven't hung out since that time last year. :(

Pic unrelated.

>>812812
I go to OttawaU (obviously) Ottawa, Canada. Easiest way to find retro gamers, or at least a small chunk (like 6 - 7 people) of them, is to go to the CSSA office in the tech building. Most people there collect/play retro games.

I help out there a little as well; There's a N64 set up to bro down with some Smash Bros (or any game someone brings in, really) during downtime. The CSSA is also responsible for some of the LANs that go on during the year there, so a lot of modern and retro consoles end up getting set up at the events. So I suppose for anyone who has your problem that goes to OttawaU, there's always that.

>Have a friend with an original xbox modded like crazy with hundreds of retro games on the hard drive
>play these crazy old battlechess games with him all the time
>get my other friends into ps1 games
I love this feel

> i visit a childhood friend once every three months.
> because we grew up gaming and watching movies together this is still all we do. with all the benefits of being a weel off grown up.
> we pick a good game, get all things needed for a 24 h. marathon and it's just awesome
> last time we did castlevania sotn (never had a ps)

There is no typical retro gamer.

>>817425
The N64 in that picture is seriously off-model and it's bothering me.

Anyways, most of my friends have a favorite retro console anyway, so I've never really had this problem. Just stop being beta (I admit, I was beta once too) ask some of your friends "Hey, want to play [console] with me?".

My girlfriend has a few PS1 games, other than that she plays games from my collection from time to time.

I didn't really have anyone at college who was interested in retro vidya, but I'm taking my Megadrive and games with me when I move to university to study vidya stuff. Maybe there's some there.

>>812812
You can meet them out in the wild, when they buy a copy of Chrono Trigger for 10$ right in front of you
;_;

>>817109
I don't understand every ones hate for Skyrim and Minecraft. Yeah, the fanbase is shit, but the games are actually fun.

I also don't understand every ones obsession with actively and persistently searching for people who share your interests. No matter what type of gamer your friend is, I guarantee if you hand them a controller they will play with you, and if the game if good, they will play again if you invite them to. Either that, and yes it is pretty pathetic but effective, invite the neighbors kid to play the games with you. If you play with kids that were a similar age to when you enjoyed those retro consoles, it truly allows you to act like a kid all over again.

>>817668
Skyrim and Minecraft are simple because they are easy, and the only time you will die in either is if the game fucks up, or you are simply careless. This makes the games tedious in my opinion. In Skyrim, I beat the last boss with three melee combos. Blacksmithing, enchanting, and alchemy are fucking broken. Only an idiot would fail to notice that if you take a potion to increase your enchanting skill, then use that skill to make equipment that improves your alchemy skill, that you have an unending loop for skill gains.

>>817678
>are simple because they are easy
Simple and easy do not equate to bad. They are easy, and slow, but are still very entertaining, at least to me. For Skyrim, you can only level up so many times with one skill. It isn't never ending leveling, and I am sure there are patches, if that is even a game breaking issue which I doubt any one would spend hours doing the same tedious task just to ruin the game(if you do, that is your own fault). If it is easy, it has artificial difficulty to make it harder, which isn't always great but it is there. I actually really like the survival aspect of Minecraft, and the amount of creativity it takes to enjoy the game. I wouldn't say it is easy, because depending on the situation, it can be pretty hectic, but then again that goes for both games.

I still prefer older games, such as Daggerfall and Ultima Underground, but they aren't terrible games.

>>815205
>If it weren't for Dark/Demon's Souls I probably would have just dropped gaming altogether by now.

Mah nigga

>>817162
Sounds like you had cool friends. Your friends that PLAYED games sound a lot more appealing than you.

Holy shit man! How old am I? Where did the time go? I didn't think CoD was that old yet!

>>821454
Maybe he was a CoD kiddie in fifth grade? Makes sense.

>that feel
Usually I bring around my PSP or DS lite to play some games while I wait for my next class or something and I've never been approached before about it. It's kind of sad. I want some more /vr/ pals.

There's an arcade around here that has an Alien vs. Predator machine, Raiden Fighters Jet, and Metal Slug 4, but I feel like I'm the only one that plays them. Most of the high scores on them belong to me.

Nobody can deny a gather up of Bomber man.

If you have your PC hooked up to the biggest TV in the house or have the actual copy, Conker's Bad Fur Day cannot not be passed.

Every girlfriend I've been with played retro vidya. My last one used to switch up playing Final Fantasy, the other used to battle me in Super Smash Bros., and the third's panties would get soaked anytime I played Zelda. I can only hope my next girlfriend will be into retro vidya. I miss nights of gaming and dirty, dirty sex.

>>821841
Why did you let them go?

>>821849
He woke up.

>>821849
The one became a lesbian, and the other 2 ditched me because my love for heroin, pills and alcohol was stronger than my love for them at the time and I was on the road to basically self-destructing. I didn't realize what a beautiful thing I had going until I got clean. Should've just stuck with smoking the herb. What a fucking fool I was.

>not liking the right video games makes you a nerd

jesus christ how horrible

I get my normal gamer friends to netplay SNES with me, it's not that hard. The most difficult part is forwarding your own port, then just make a rar of the emulator and the roms and email it to them. I've never met anyone who plays games nowadays that refuses to/doesn't enjoy retro when I introduce them to it.
Also, the ease of using emulators on phones has greatly increased the amount of my friends that play retro. They ask me for suggestions and shit and sometimes we meet up at places like coffeeshops and shit and play using wiimotes

Damn, where I live, the retro gamers are far more socially accepted than the "OMG ASSASSINS CREED CALL OF DUTY DISHONERED" etc. gamers.
Guess I lucked out.

>>821907

iktfb

i too have gone through this and i lost the woman i love to a complete twat.

but on a /vr/ related note, while i was bad into the shit i sold my entire snes, n64, gb/gbc collection that i had accumulated since early childhood over the course of a few months to get my fix. it makes me want to fucking cry just thinking about it. hundreds of games and memories connected to those games lost forever.

since getting clean i've purchased an NES and have started over. i have a modest collection now and im ready to get back on track again.

>"lol you still have one of those? that's so old"

should've just answered

>just like your mom

I have a cool friend I talk to about retro vidya a lot., he's a really cool guy, and his dad was into vidya before he was born, and he pretty much got his taste from there, he has stuff I don't even have (he bought a game boy pocket for £5 once).

We don't talk much about retro vidya, and when we do it's usually Fire Emblem or consoles in general.

Hell, just last year me and him played Pokémon Blue and trained our Pokémon to battle for about 3 months, we never did though, and we eventually forgot, but hopefully we'll be able to play Pokémon X and Y and battle then.

Everyone else I know, know nothing about retro vidya beyond the Gameboy Color.

>>812812
Don't feel bad because they made fun of you for gaming on an older system. Laugh at them for oogling over pretty graphics and being the kids they are. Rotten lil shits. "This game's better because it looks gooder!" They can all fuck right off.

I play all games, new or old.
I find the concept of people only playing old games retarded, however people have shortcomings and need their hugbox i guess.
Also who the fuck still uses GBAs to play GBA games, you can emulate them on a psp with a better screen and carry the entire GBA library with you anywhere.
Goddamn, amateurs to say the least, worst case scenario borderline hipsters.

It's kind of hard to tell, i have friends and i use the term loosely that you would think play retro games but just play CoD, battlefield and Fifa. Then there are ones who are complete dudebros that have huge retro collections, one of which was my roommate in uni. We had to keep all of our consoles and games separate because we had all of the same stuff, he was a cool guy but just from talking to him you never would've guessed he enjoyed collecting old games.

Then there's my current roommate, you can tell from a mile off that he plays retro games, plays DnD and is into turn based strategy games. He looks like Jesus. The first time we met we were at a mutual friend's house playing Warlords 3: Darklords Rising, out of interest, anyone remember it?

>>821454
Its perfectly possible.
I cant fucking wait for all of it to end.

>>817141
Are you in Europe? Because at least that WAS the first FF released there.

>>817159
The elder scrolls started with Skyrim, and Mario games started either with NSMB or Mario 64, depending on the person.

>have a pretty casual friend who always buys into the latest shootan game

>last year
>buy an N64 (never owned one growing up), two controllers, and a few games
>he comes over, we end up playing MK64 long into the night
>later he buys an NES and SNES
>we both have smartphones loaded with emulators

>>817159
No it didn't.
Stop making my autism flare up.

I occasionally coax my best friend into playing a retro multiplayer, but usually I like to play games, watch movies, listen to music and look at art on my own, so I don't mind.
I know a couple of guys who like arcade fighters, but usually when I talk to people about retro games everyone's trying to prove how much they know and how they've beaten notoriously difficult games.

>>824980
Annoying isn't it?
Bunch of pompous cunts, instead of appreciation video games they just jerk off on "ooh i beat X i'm such a badass", it's like the 4chan Souls community on a larger scale.
People here think finding fellow people that play old games is hard, try finding people that play old games and AREN'T a bunch of cunts, now that's extra hard.

>>812812
You can't. Even my vidya friends all hate older games. My one friend was too poor to have consoles when he was young. It wasn't until he was in high school that he got the PS2 as his first console. My other friend wasn't allowed to play games until he was in his teens. Both of them now feel that retro games are too old and have aged poorly to be fun and have the mentality that there are better games now so why bother. Even my cousin who use to retro game with me only plays CoD and LoL now. I can't find anybody anywhere with similar gaming interests as me IRL. It sucks. I like newer games, but I wish I had somebody to retro with.

>>817668
>I guarantee if you hand them a controller they will play with you
I've tried this.
My friend just tells he me doesn't like those types of games and goes back to playing whatever he wants. Can't find anyone to retro with because they're all too busy with DOTA, LoL, CoD, and TF2.

>>812825
I wear Mario shirts.
The only /vr/ Marios I've beaten are Mario Land 2, Mario Bros. 2, Lost Levels, Super Mario World, and 64

>>825048
I've only beaten Super Mario Brothers 2, 3, and the "Lost Levels". I fucking hate Mario.

>>825052
I like Mario. I just haven't completed a whole lot retro-wise because I end up getting busy with life and forgetting about them. Hell, I've barely even played newer Mario games. I've gotten to the last dungeon of Mario RPG at least three times, but never actually go through it.

>>825048

I've only beaten 1, Land 1, Land 2 and Yoshi's Island

The only one that was good was Land 2

is this really a thing?
I live in motherfucking south america and even my most pleb friends (as in, they don't play games at all) like old videogames.

hmmm. I'm not sure about that. At least here (Chile) there was this huge support for Nintendo consoles during the 90s so It's not like we got the games years later or somehting. At most, months. I'm not sure about the other consoles or other countries though.

However, It's true that NES and SNES/Genesis lasted more in terms of popularity which explains stuff such as the fact that we had a HUGE ammount of Dinosaur's Peak catridges or that Tectoy in Brazil still develops Genesis clone to this day.

I hope that shame and dissapointment was for him. If you felt it because some fucking faggot retard casual is talking shit you don't deserve a retro community.

Never, ever, ever, fucking feel shame for being a better man than someone else, ever. Never.
When you're running a mile a marathon you feel no remorse for the retard saying "ranning F4r l0ser, umadbro?" while he's rolling and lying in a pool of feces on the ground as you pass by. You tell him to "fuck off retard" and you keep running.

All the friends I grew up playing retro games with moved away ;_; At least we still share the interest in the hobby of them, and it's just not something that died when they left.

My ex loved playing Playstation 1, we spend a couple of weeks racking up extra lives between Rayman and Crash Bandicoot to get far in the game (She'd grind lives while I was at work, and then we'd take turns after each death during the weekend)
I'm not even going to begin describing the feels I get when I recall these memories.

South America as well as Mexico is somewhat behind on certain things. But on video games, it isnt. It took a while for my family in Mx to catch up. In the early 90s they were still playing NES and SNES stuff. But in a few years they caught up to N64 and PSX. Now I still get matched up with Mexicans everytime I join matchmaking in my casual shooters.

Invite her over to your house staying you guys can play some Zelda together. Then give her the big D. You know she wants it.

damn Michael Bay for making explosions standard in all movies today.
On a serious note, you can't replicate shit like in The Thing with CGI, it just looks too corny.

Just convert your regular friends. They might bitch for a while, but just break out your genesis and force them to play Golden Axe until you're done with the game. The novelty of an older gaming box might appeal to them, and then they'll slowly be converted. My best friend is all new games all the way, now he's got a SNES and can't believe he prefers it to his 360. Almost daily he comments he's so shocked he plays it more often

I have one friend who is into retro games. We're close friends so sometimes we trade games, but his collection is far greater than mine. It's a thing of beauty it is, looking into his cabinet and it's full of games from so many systems.

I agree. I was just throwing out a lot of stupid reasons people don't like older movies. I think monsters look better with convincing make-up and props rather than CG or some shit. They always look too shiny and fake in CG. Leave that shit for superhero movies or something.

man Carpetner knew what he was doing. To this day, I think The Thing has the best gore and technical special effects.

Anon from Niagara Falls, Ontario here. If anyone wants to play some retro multiplayer let me know.

I'm so lonely.

You fucking faggot. Go die in a fire, you son of a fucking bitch.

I know one guy who is into old games just as much as I am, he looks like a huge neckbeard and is half blind but is quite social and got a smoking hot gf he's been together with for ten years. I think he's almost thirty. I don't even know how they found each other. she like all games too so good for them I guess.

other than that I only know some xbox and psfags who play stuff occasionally and one of them is a huge idiot but it's funny to be around him.

other than that nobody decent. most people don't care and quite frankly, I stopped caring about gaming recently too. haven't touched a game in weeks and I like that change since I need to move on with life and stuff

I'm from Toronto.

same feels man

Invite your friends/coworkers over for beer and Nintendo. The response will be either

>I'm busy

or

>OMG I haven't played a Nintendo in years yes I'd love to!

Also used to live in a city where a friend owned a bar, and he made Wednesday nights retro nights, and it beat out trivia night (and trivia night would pack).

>GBA
Well OP, there's your fucking problem. You're not retro enough. Bring an android and play something from an SNES emulator and people will react.
