/vr/ - Retro Games

Alien Soldier

Dynamite Headdy's probably mine too.

I like Gunstar Heroes and Sin & Punishment, but Dynamite Headdy's the one that actually manages to bring me back for more.

Mischief Makers, although DH was my favorite before I played that.

Maui Mallards Cold Shadow

Ikaruga, Dynamite Headdy and Gunstar as a close 3rd.

Wii Sin and Punishment is currently going for $2 new at EB, can't fucking believe it. Kinda want to buy THEM ALL MUST HAVE ALL.

Silhouette Mirage

Both Sin and Punishment games

mischief makers.

Guardian Heroes. Best $39.99 I ever spent at Toys R Us.

I played Alien Soldier for the first time only two days ago and hoooooooly shiiiiiiiiit it's amazing. It's definitely become one of my new favourite games. I also love Mischief Makers but my cart refuses to work for some reason so I haven't played it in a long time.
I definitely need to check out their other stuff, seem like a great company.

I would say Rakugaki Showtime, but most of you kiddies never owned an import ps1.

Gunstar Heroes

Seven Force is that important.

Mischief Makers

Ikaruga (斑鳩)

Astro Boy Omega Factor

Gunstar Oreos

I have to admit that I only played Mischief Makers.

Why would the average westerner have a console that plays games in a language that is practically impossible to learn without a ton of dedication (English is easy as fuck to pick up)?!

>>887002
>>887084
More importantly why would you bother when you could trick a US Playstation into being region free by propping something against a small button inside.

>>887035
>that sun boss that grows bigger as you beat him

Dynamite Headdy. Gunstar Heroes is a close second.

>>887002
Great game. Feel free to drop the elitist attitude anytime though.

>>887084
English is not easy as fuck to pick up. You only think that because it's the first one you learned.

English and Russian are the two hardest to learn languages if you started with alpha and are staying within alpha. Alpha to moonrunes or moonrunes to alpha is irritating as fuck, sure, but English has no structure whatsoever and over half the language is loan words.

another vote for ikaruga

>>887641
Since all I did was bitch in a kneejerk, I'll second Ikaruga. One of my favorites.

Treasure made so many kick ass games! Thank god others appricated this amazing game. But this is head on with Sin and Punishment for first then its Gunstar Heroes. Amazing Hack and Slash and game company in general.

Gunstar Heroes by far, but I also like DH and AS. GH is just so elegant and well-paced -- and yeah, it's also easy.

Radiant Silvergun, but I haven't played ikaruga yet.

>>887718
Do you even expert mode?

Oh man, oh man. Where do I even begin. How about some Yasushi Suzuki, from the Dengeki Sin and Punishment Guide Book.

God, if I had a scanner guys. I would deliver hard, but for now, photos. Also, if this thread lives until Friday, I may well post photos from the Sin and Punishment 2 guide book from Soushokukan, which also has a lot of undistributed art.

>>887818
It is a pity this image is obscured, but it only appears once in the book. EarthMimicry from the streets of Tokyo.

>>887718
It's a little too short for my tastes too, but most Contra-esque platform shooters in that genre are.

>>887831
Sorry, broke my SD card, here we go again!

Radan! In all her counter attack fashion!

>>887992
A bit more of Saki.

>>888000
Airan.

Mandarin wants a word with you.

Isa, in all his childhood goodness. Pity he grows up to be the biggest chump.

I would say Bangai-o, which by the way can be still considered retro (it firstly came out on the N64). I personally love the fact that every iteration of it can bring the FPS to a halt, regardless of the platform.

>>888042
Kachua looking all desperate, it is too bad they have any art of her ruffian form.

>>888058
Ladies man Brad all up in that biz.

>>888062
Random Soldiers and Kachua.

>>888083
And finally. Boat.

For what it is worth, I hope someone at least thought this dump was swell.

>>888094
That said... I have a lot of Ikaruga stuff too... again, Yasushi Suzuki, because aside from frantic-zany Treasure shooting action they always bring, he was the best thing to ever cross their art department.

Also, I have had this running idea for a while, that all main treasure games in fact take place in the same universe. Gunstar, S&P, Silvergun, Bangai O, Guardian Heroes and a few of the side games like Mischief Makers/Alien Soldier. A lot of reoccurring elements and back referencing in the games. Interesting to think about, if not for anything else.

No kidding. S/he is doing art for the Japanese Game of Thrones.

That's not Tyrion Lannister is he?

>>888236
Mistype. I meant to say Song of Ice & Fire/Storm of Swords.

BE ATTITUDE FOR GAINS...
1: SUPPORT TREASURE
2: BUY THEIR GAMES
3: MAKE OTHERS PLAY THEIR GAMES

>>888243
I have his art book, so fucking fantastic.
Too bad the manga he writes himself is too predictable for my taste.

>>888256
Yea, this. But part of me wants to keep them to myself. Like they are my special guys, looking out for me. I am afraid if they become any more popular, they will start tailoring to the new kids. Irrational fears I tell you.

For me, it's Dynamite Headdy, but Alien Soldier is a close second. Honorable mention to Wario World too. Shall I dump some Headdy related stuff?

;_;

>>888318

>>888321
There was a sixth page, but I couldn't get it.
It goes like this:

First panel
Headdy: Dynamite Headdy is finally out!!!
(Everyone is cheering)

Second panel
Headdy: We're all waiting for you in here, Okay?

Third panel
Maruyama's face is in the game case.

Fourth panel
Maruyama: There's no one in here. That liar...
(There's a pressure mark on his face from the case).

>>888331
And of course, I forget page five.

>>888336
What the hell?

>>888340
I always liked Headdy as a idea, but I never really ever got into it. I really do want to like it, but something about it is obtrusive to me. I think I am going to try again soon though.

Heh, all of them. I am a Treasure fanatic. Always have been, since I rented Mischief Makers when I was a wee child.

Ive missed out on all of their but I would say that their crowning achievement would have to be Gunstar Super Heroes, for the GBA.

I need to make a list and play every Treasure game ive missed out on.

>>888306
Haha, I also like Wario World a lot. People who dont like it just dont "get it".

>>888306
>>888650
It was briefly played on GameGrumps. They liked it pretty well. We should bug them to get back to that and ALSO play through Astro Boy/Tetsuan Atom: Omega Factor.

i just dont understand dynamite headdy.

>>888765
Crazy puppets doing Crazy things. That's all you need to know.

>>887084
It's not hard to learn enough Japanese to play games. I played through most of the early FFs in Japanese with a dictionary on hand after reading a bit about Japanese grammar. With the exception of decoding old-man-speak and weird regionalisms, it certainly doesn't take "a ton of dedication".

Man, I used to worship Treasure as gods. Especially with their "no sequels" philosophy at the time, and knowing that most of them also worked on many of the great Konami classics. Hard to pick just one game, but I'm pleased to see Dynamite Heady getting some love; I always felt that game was generally underrated. I never did open the vault, though.

>>889114
>Man, I used to worship Treasure as gods

You're not alone. In fact, I remain perfectly convinced that their output from Gunstar to Ikaruga makes them the best studio ever. Ok, maybe that definition is trite but, holy fuck did they show an almost perfect dominance over the consoles they were working on... I mean who else has their titles in contention for best game on a console on 3 consecutive consoles over what, 8 years? TL;DR ALL HAIL TREASURE.

Guardian Heroes can get my vote.

I'm surprised, tho, so little love for Yu Yu Yakusho. I couldn't give less of a toss about the anime/manga, but the game is basically Guardian's versus on the Mega Drive.

>>888025
what's hard about mandarin?

>>889114
Dude, go play it and get that code. That last level is wonderful satire towards SEGA of Japan's dumbass business choices(Japanese version). You HAVE seen it, right?

>>888025
>if you are staying within alpha and not straying into moonrunes
Reading comprehension wants a word with you.
Put Mandarin through on line 3.

That Light Crusader seems a bit weird for a treasure game. Is it worth giving it a longer chance?
I disliked it on a first impression.

Well geez, I think I'll do a top 15 or something.

1. Sin and Punishment
2. Alien Soldier
3. Dynamite Headdy
4. Radiant Silvergun
5. Gradius V
6. Gunstar Heroes
7. Sin and Punishment: Star Successor
8. Bangai-O
9. Mischief Makers
10. Guardian Heroes
11. Ikaruga
12. Silhouette Mirage
13. Gunstar Super Heroes
14. YuYu Hakusho: Makyou Toitsusen
15. McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure

Wish Treasure'd port their stuff to PC. Everything they rerelease/remake recently seems to be XBLA exclusive, and that just makes me sad.

>>891016
Whoops!
Forgot about Astro Boy: Omega Factor.
Uh... I'd put it in between Bangai-O and Mischief Makers, I guess.

>>890012
I haven't seen it. This will be the first thing I do when I get back to where my Genesis is.

Dynamite Headdy no contest, game is chock full of secrets, I love that.
Astro Boy: Omega Factor gets my honorable mention
