/vr/ - Retro Games

>>8584721
Also PSP games

>>8584721
Not really super famous but also not that obscure.
Have you played the Jak games for PS2?

>>8584721

PS1 Games:
>Battle Arena Toshinden 1-3
Fighting games that are interesting for at least one playthrough each. Have a cool 90s aesthetic.

>Bishi Bashi Special 1-3
Kind of like WarioWare for PS1, a bunch of minigames.

>Bushido Blade 1-2
A sword fighting game where you can kill your enemy in one attack with a critical hit. The game also encourages you to fight with the code of honor to get better endings (like not hitting your opponent once they're knocked down).

>Chocobo Racing
An interesting racing game that's a spin-off from Final Fantasy. Has a good sense of speed (fast).

>Cyberbots: Full Metal Madness
Like street fighter but with mechas.

>Darkstalkers 1/3
Fighting games with interesting aesthetics.

>Guilty Gear
The first one in the series. Just cool.

>Harmful Park
Beginner-friendly SHMUP with cool aesthetics.

>In the Hunt
Metal Slug but underwater with submarines instead. (Not an easy game though).

>Jumping Flash 1/2
Fun early 3D platformers with excellent verticality. These games look a lot better actually playing them than on YouTube.

>Sexy Parodius
Shmup that's a parody of Gradius (Parodius games are all parodies of Gradius).

Absolute MUST play for PS2. It is easy to forget this one because of how vast the PS2 library is. One of the best 3D platformers of all time. I would argue its only main flaw is sometimes the controls feel a bit stiff but the other 99% of the game makes up for it in every way.

Also, you don't need to play 1 and 2 to know what's going on.

>>8584742
Some of the most popular games of all time

>>8584742
Next you're gonna tell me about hidden gem Ratchet and Clank.

>>8584721
War of the Monster for the PS2 is everything Rampage could never be.
It also has excellent multiplayer.

Remote Control Dandy.
Pilot a giant robot that is intentionally a clunky fuck. That is to say, it has intentionally intricate controls and moves slow. Its even been translated somehow.

>>8584882
What was that PS2 game that was kind of like this too?

>>8584894
RAD

Do what I did and watch this video at 2X speed, writing down all the games in WordPad that look potentially interesting to you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B69v7vV2m74

>>8584721
Incredible Crisis was absolute kino and I'm still mad it never got a sequel. Also one of the few games I have absolutely no shame in cheating, FUCK that massage minigame

>>8584721
Snatcher sequel no one asked for

If you want some weirdness, give this a shot. You control an excavator, load a truck with sand, destroy buildings, etc. The controls are this weird contraption that you'll get used to with a little practice. It's really fun.

>>8584757
>to know whats going on

>>8585082
too bad ps1 port looks and runs like shit compared to the arcade version and the arcade version has never been dumped

>>8585119
Coolest suggestion so far. Downloading now.

>>8584721
Try Kaze no Notam. It's a ballon flying sim. It's Jap only, but you'll figure it out.

>>8585226
I fucking love Gamera 2000. It's a very competent game surrounded by one of the worst acted FMVs I've ever seen. It's like the stepchild of Panzer Dragoon and Wing Commander.

>>8585252
I like it as well.

>>8585271
is there a full scan of this somewhere?

>>8584721
I'd go with pic related if your looking for crazy shit lol. Also, why are you downloading ROMs over and over? Just get a flashdrive or something man. Sheesh.

>>8585318
Fuck i forgot to post the pic my bad lol

>>8585318
>flashdrive
>ps1

>>8585282
I had the link but deleted it after downloading the volume. I only have links to volumes I haven't yet downloaded:
>The Guide to Shoot-Em-Ups, Vol. 1
>Sega Arcade Classics, Vol. 1
>The Unofficial Guide to Shin Megami Tensei and Persona
>The Guide to Retro Indie Games, Vol. 1
>Castlevania
>The 200 Best Video Games of All Time
You might be able to find it though by searching the /v/ & /vr/ archives, as I might have gotten them from here.

>>8585282
You can emulate PuLiRuLa in mame easily.

>>8585354
I don't think that was the question.

>>8585326
>The Unofficial Guide to Shin Megami Tensei and Persona
Can you post that one

Also R.I.P. to the artist behind the manga the game is based off of.

TomaRunner.
Sony saw Pepsi-Man and said “We could do this but better and fun for family”.

>>8584721

Eisei Meijin a shogi game that was also on saturn ps1 dreamcast and ps2

>>8585707
Does it have anything on par with the ghetto level of the first game?

>>8584721

Pre-Kingdom Hearts

>>8585707
I loved that one.
Funnily enough, Nicktoons: Freeze Frame Frenzy for GBA is pretty much a clone of that game.

PS1 launch title in the nips.
Sequel is better but the first has actual multiplayer.

>>8585182
i heard it will be dump soon but i think that soon is far away from soon
soundtrack vry nice

>>8585226
this looks like a good starfox game

a game were the goal is to defuse bombs, the first level is defusing a bomb hidden in an orange.

>>8584757
AE3 is the true spiritual sequel to AE1 in overall aesthetic. You just kinda forget AE2 even exists.

>>8585119
I remember seeing the trailer for this on a demo disc and always wanting to give it a shot.

>>8584745
>Jumping Flash

Very cool game. Up the resolution and it feels very arcadey.

>>8584721

https://youtu.be/AGSDhRM5nU4

>>8586247

Whoops wrong game

https://youtu.be/E7q9FV9fPvc

Often people post Speed Power Gunbike here. Mostly cause it looks cool.

Koufuku Sousakan

The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction

It's made by the guys who eventually went on to make Prototype, so you have similar ideas like running up buildings. Kinda cool and you feel like The Hulk.

>>8586253
whoa that does look cool

>>8584757
Dude, without fresh knowledge of the deep lore of Ape Escape 1 & 2, you will be COMPLETELY lost. Stop posting misinformation.

I remember somebody posting videos of an untranslated PS2 action-RPG in a King's Field thread. It had a really dark and creepy atmosphere. Anybody recognize what game this would be?

>>8584721

Point Blank in 3D.

>>8586214
Seeing the legs flail around in mid-air like that reminds me of Montezuma's Return. Pretty fun PC first-person platformer.

>>8586324
Ghost Panic rocked. I was even able to play it with a Blockbuster-given Guncon.

>>8586307
Hungry Ghosts?
>>8586263
This looks interesting

>>8584745
I have them all.

>>8586335
Yep that was it

>>8585082
Always wanted to see arcade footage of this

>>8584742
After that he should try Resident Evil, real hidden gem right there.

>>8585119
>>8585169
glorious

here you go something actually obscure that sucks dick

>>8584742
Don't forget about Super Smash Bros Melee for the GameCube . Its pretty obscure. Doubt you ever heard of it.

>>8584894
Yeah, there's several of them. I know of:
Robot Alchemic Drive (Gigantic Drive in JP)
Remote Control Dandy SF (the sequel)
Tetsujin 28
Giant Robot the Animation (the game)

>>8586481
my fucking sides

>>8584721
I’m surprised not many people have played this game, it’s really really good, especially for such a well known series

>>8586481
Aaaagh real monsters?

>>8585119
Woah nice

Thanks!!!!!

>>8584926
is there something like this for PS2?

>>8587261
Just on that very same channel, you lazy fuck.

>>8586295
I had no idea this got ported to the PS2

>>8584721
This is barely a game, but check out Goo! Goo! Soundy. It's a DDR spinoff mixed with some light virtual pet aspects that you can use to play your own CDs.

>>8586214

Also got two spinoffs that never made it to the west.
The last one takes place in a different canon than the first two.
The other is a PocketStation mini game compilation.

>>8584926
>excludes ntsc-j games
well whats the point then

Not PS1/PS2/Gamecube but Bomber Hehhe! is a game where you set demolition charges to bring down buildings. Of course Dreamcast is full of weird experimental games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO54HdXxMfs

Also here's a full collection of gamecube games: https://archive.org/details/gamecubenaiso.. Magnet link in comments has a zip with all games in iso format (I think the link gives them in rzv, but it broke recently or something). Lots of seeders so it DLs really fast

Wonder Trek doesn't get nearly enough love. It's a beautiful game.

I have a great fondness for this game and always wished I could learn more about how a record company ended up developing one of the earliest launched playstation games (slps-00018).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW616juI4cM

>>8584721

No one ever talks about this sequel which looks like it improves over the original.

>>8587457

This. PlayStation died when they shut down that division in favor of Ashobi Team and relying more on west developers.

>>8585783
Apparently the sequel has L'Arc En Ciel in it for some reason.

>>8587457
I'm feeling a little melancholy creeping on now.

>>8586117
My childhood self was fucking CUMMING over Ape Escape 1, and naturally I CUMMED when Ape Escape 2 was released. In hindsight, it was missing something that the first one had. Never actually played 3, but I might now if it's truly more along the lines

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVyNMeD4G8k
Yes, it's literally called 70's Robot Anime: Geppy X

>>8588180
Uh huh?

>>8584814
Another must play but it's good on Steam as well.

>>8587401
this one is cool af, watching a video on youtube about it right now

>>8587457
>Japan Studio
Holy shit, I didn't know Team Silent people were working there.

>>8588314
It's a lot of fun.

Incredible Crisis is great. Well, apart from the son's minigames just being repeats of others. Also fuck the hostage minigame, that was just shit

John K got to collaborate in a Japanese game.

https://youtu.be/v24XSMYcKJM

anyone have an idea where to download books like Hardcore Gaming 101 Presents: Japanese Video Game Obscurities that anon was posting pages of before?

>>8589587
>writing and humor essential John K
>"Excerrent!"
>sambo nigga with big tittie white woman
>developed by Japan Studio
>it's like if The Movies was a mini game collection instead of a sim
what the fuck is this?

>>8587514
The game itself is pretty basic but the overall aesthetic and character designs are peak otaku-core.

>>8589623
same posting here, but found a video where a guy shows the table of contents at least, so you can google the names you dont know
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nw2JKjyDsE8

>>8588180
For one the composer from the first game wasn't present in AE2. He came back for AE3.

>>8584742
Anon...Jak and Daxter were best-sellers. I am not sure how new you are or if you just weren't paying that much attention at the time, but Jak & Daxter and Jak 2 were killer apps on release, and received critical acclaim. While Jak 3 to a lesser extent and the spinoff games were received with more lukewarm reception, they remain classics to this day.

Out of my way kaiju fucking shits

>>8584721
this game it's pretty damn good 2.D platformer, but that's expected since the game is literally pandemonium, when bandai got the rights for the game they decided to drastically change the characters and story for the japanese version, for the better in my opinion, i absolutely love those designs

>>8589707
Magical Hoppers is just Pandemonium but better

Dating sim meets JRPG. This one was pretty fun and had some beautiful sprites. I'd highly recommend it, I didn't even know about this game until the PS2 was out.

>>8586481
Aside from the gross out shit it's a pretty difficult little grid puzzler.

>>8587437
That looks doope

>>8584721

Imagine Devil's Crush but anime. That's basically it, pretty fun for short bursts. Also available for Sega Saturn.

Kenka Bancho

>>8593229
Based. Kenka Bancho is extremely underrated and a solid recommendation for Way of the Samurai bros since its meant to be replayed multiple times over short runs. Also I'm glad they ripped off God Hand's combat so hard, the game is automatically much better off for it.

>>8593236
Pretty much played it exactly because you could set individual moves in your combo the way you can in God Hand. Ended up falling in love with that goofy delinquent game.

>>8593229
Awesome game

>>8593229
>>8593236
>>8593283
great idea and presentation, but the actual gameplay is trash. its really sad because its hilarious and could be amazing but jesus the gameplay is actual aids

Not ultra obscure, but if you're into JRPGs with weird combat systems, Baten Kaitos is pretty good.

Is Wonder Trek EOP friendly or is Japanese a requirement ?

good thread. i took, so i give.
racer that's too fast and narrow for its own good but the maps are pretty (when you arent slamming into walls) and the soundtrack seriously kicks ass. i prefer it over sonic r, so i guess i could call it the best running racer i've played.

over exaggerated look of it makes is what makes it fun

ps1 was hated on because of the graphics but in some ways this works still because of the effort they put into it

>>8584721

You'll have to use popstation to turn them back into bin/iso's they are psp eboots, but obscure and great games

>>8594056
I was looking for the USB sticks on AliExpress. heard it's risky ordering from tho

Sanvein

Or however it's spelled

Some Japanese game

>>8584721
One Piece Mansion. Fun unique puzzle game.
Rule of Rose. Silent Hill 2 with lesbian schoolgirls.
Guitaroo Man. Forgotten brother of "Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan!" Great soundtrack.
Galarians. Hard as nails cross between Resident Evil (the game) and Scanners (the movie).

Panzer Front and its sequel Panzer Front Ausf.B are neat simcades.
The first one is best played on the Dreamcast with the widescreen and unlock framerate patches. If you want a game with more content, find the English beta of Panzer Front Bis on the archive.
The sequel on the PS2 improves the game tenfold but is internally locked at 10fps for some reason. If an anon want to make a 30/60fps for this one, be my guest

>>8594037
I haven't finished it yet but so far it's light on dialog and story and more about exploring the environment. However, you can show items you find to the professor who's along for the ride and he'll give you his thoughts on them. Not being able to understand those descriptions could complicate things but you might still make it through.

>>8594103
thats the one OP posted, incredible crisis

>>8594395
Let's hope somebody will take on creating a translation patch for it one day.

>>8594403
Is it worth it? High price

looking for a ps1 game involving japanese office characters, it had a 2d sprite over 3d background aesthetic and you had to clock in every morning with a rhythm minigame to simulate the paperwork

there was a weird subplot involving repenting for embezzlement and your boss putting you through trepanation surgery which you slowly went insane with as the rhythm games got more intense
