/vr/ - Retro Games

I came here because the fanboy bullcrap usually ended up destroying any talk of older systems because none of the sides would shut up. Also, you forgot that /g/ has also become a "LOOK AT MY ICONLESS CLI LINOOX DESKTOP WITH DEVIANTART WALLPAPER" board too.

95% of my 4chan browsing is on /fit/. Stopped in here when I saw the announcement and I quite like it. I've always been fond of older games and this board has encouraged me to dig up my old stuff and start playing it again. I've also started biking around town to yard sales on the weekends, which allows me to get some cardio in while looking for treasure

>>920128
30 here as well. I can't relate to most of the threads in /v/ and I can't into /c/ anymore. Forced to emulate but i live vicariously through collectors. This is my home board now and it was made for me. (Now I will shut up and continue lurking)

I'm 32 and used to mainly lurk /b/ and /v/, occasionally /x/ but I would only post when I could contribute something relevant or add to a dump. Got really tired of /v/ being /v/ and bought some recently released games so I didn't lurk /v/ for about 3 months, when I came back there was a sticky linking here. Came here a couple months ago and now this is the only board I lurk anymore.

Honestly I did and still do get a kick out of the SEGA vs. Nintendo guys here at each others throats, mainly because It's what I grew up around, me and my friends burning each other for having the other system but what it all came down to was my friends still played my SNES and I still played their Genesis and each of our systems had jellyrage inducing games when the other platform got the better game version.

I also got a ton of great info from you bros as far as current good emulators, great unbiased info on portable emulation systems (just got a jxd s7300b 2 weeks ago and I fucking love it, shy of the shit battery life) and the general vibe here just seems a lot more welcoming, both because of and in spite of the overtones.

I just feel like I belong here more.

Age 30. I was one of the most hardcore CRTfags on /g/.

I used to lurk /mu/ a lot. I see that that place is better now than it was before this place opened, but back then it was such a cesspool of shitposting that I can't even bring myself lurk there, anymore.

It would have been nice if the mods showed some semblance of giving a shit about that board, last summer.

I actually haven't been active on 4chan in many years. I got lured back in by doing some research relating to /co/ and then noticing /vr/ by chance.

I used to go to /v/ back when it used to be less shit. (It was never good.)

>>920172
I didn't forget...you just described my desktop :(

>>920182
Cool. I'm glad you live somewhere that it is feasible and safe to bike around town.

>>920194
MUH DUDE. Hop on the IRC if you get the chance.

Im 25. My xbox got rrod'ed 2 years ago and I didnt really feel any need to buy new one. I play some Playstation and Super Nintendo classics.

37 yr oldfag who used to lurk almost exclusively on /co/, but it's gotten a bit too trolltastic lately. I was barely ever checking this site anymore until /vr/ came along, and suddenly I'm back to playing my old games and "new" ones from that era.

Really, 4chan's always been a place I'd use to scan recommendation threads and the like, so when something new pops up that I can use I start checking it out more often again. I'd never been much in it for the "community," though this place is almost making me change my mind. Almost.

>>920218
Just from the nature of your post, you sound familiar. Were you the Anon who was asking about Android vs. iPad emulation?

yeah 30 here as well. i came here when the board started. i like that its a bit slower and the posters are generally a bit older as well. if im not here im on /int/. all the other boards i liked went downhill.

I've never posted in any board that wasn't /vr/ as far as I can remember. All I did was lurk until this board existed.

>>920227

>>920234
We get some shitposting here, but the mods usually:
A: immediately check them
B: Let us handle it. Self-moderation is cool. People normally understand that shitposting is not welcome here. Banter is cool, but shitposting just for the sake of it? Ermmm...notsomuch.

I'm 36. Mainly kept an eye on /b/ for trends and /rs/ but I had a baby right after 4chan had /vr/ so I got back into a hobby I can mainly do at home and with my wife and new son while out.

I already had a significant collection from when I was younger but /vr/ has gotten me filling in some gaps. I got a pvm and also a crt projector (my wife wasn't too happy about that one) and discovered how damn good the Wii is for emulation.

Once the weather breaks I'll be continuing my refurbs on my arcade machines. Planning to repair my model 1 Sega CD and X'eye next after I do some work on the house and maybe actually mount the big projector. I haven't decided whether to just mount it up against the back porch roof or to try to build a little cart for it out of a double wide wherlchair (that I have yet to find)

I had been posting on /v/ for years but the last two years in particular it had become almost unbearable being there. The level of shit-flinging became even more than it used to be, and it is now truly the worst it has ever been. Ever since /vr/ appeared, I pretty much stopped going to /v/. I check /v/ only for when something new and crazy happens like the Mega man announcement in Smash and pretty much stick to lurking. I'm a much more active poster on /vr/.

Other than that the only other boards I visit are /h/ and /gif/. 4chan has become my primary site for that kind of stuff and I am forever thankful for it.

>>920258
>>920258
I've never been on /co/. Seriously, I've only been on /g/, /v/, /vg/ and /x/. But I love reading comic-scans. Do you read /vr/-related stuff?

>>920281
Sometimes, but it seems like I end up watching linked videos more often. Seeing games in action usually gives me a good feel for whether I want to play them.

But yeah, I've read a number of "classics" scans on /co/, even though most of them I could probably get at my local library...

I used to spend most of my time on /tg/ for storytime and /3/ because I do 3D modelling as a hobby. For porn I usually hang out on /d/ and /e/. With /d/, /e/ and /tg/, this is the fourth board on all of 4chan that I know for fact isn't full of cockbags.

>>920275
Where did you set up the projector (OP here)? My wife won't let me take her "hobby room", and that's cool, but she doesn't want me to turn the shed into a mancave.

>>920271
Exactly. Toolcop started to shit-post endlessly, so all the underage summer faggots thought it was alright to do the same. And the mods didn't do a damn thing about it for way too long that by the time they started to improve things all the oldfags saw no reason to stay. I would go back, except now I have no desire because the mods let things go to ruin in the first place.

The people who lurk /vr/ are too smart to mimic that sort of shit-posting, and the mods here are too diligent to let things slide for too long. Even with summer in full swing, this place is still pretty damn good.

I used to frequent /g/ and sometimes browse /vg/ and on a blue moon /v/. /vr/ is pretty much the only board I care to visit nowadays.

That and /h/.

>>920275
Post here when you start your arcade refurb project. I 'm fairly decent at cab restoration, and I'm excellent at from-the-ground-up cabinets. I don't post my projects here because I'm self-conscious and most of my work is not /retro/.

I'm just 20. Been interested in Retro vidya ever since my first console was a SNES when everyone around in town had a PS1, then later a N64 when the same thing was happening with the PS2. Got my first comp at age 12 and immediately started digging up emulators.

Ever since I hit 18 and got my first job, I started buying those SNES/N64 games I loved but could just play by renting. I also bought a NES, a GBC, a GBA and a GameCube soon after, and started my collection. /v/ just isn't the place for me, never went to /vg/ before. /vr/ is where I feel at home.

>>920291
Does /co/ storytime? I storytime with consoles and games here when I'm in the mood (and it's late-night).

19 here. Mainly post in /fa/ and lurk /v/ and /vg/. Came here because it's the only safe place to talk about old Nintendo games without being called a nintenyearold or accused of wearing nostalgia goggles.

>>920293
It's still amazing to me that there is no way in hell that I could convince someone that there are good boards on forechin.

>>920310
Stick around, retrobro. We need good people like you.

Unless you are an emulation-purist (NO SHADERS! NO FILTERS! MUH ACCURACY).:)

>>920325

I know there are good boards, it just happens that the most vocal ones with the largest numbers of users are full of shit.

>>920317
Sad, but true.

I came from /mlp/, visited this board the day it got announced out of curiosity -- I avoided /v/ like the plague -- and I was immediately surprised by how nice the board was. I don't even go to /mlp/ anymore, just here. This board got me into some game series I had never tried before, notably NES games because my oldest console was an SNES.

This board isn't as much as a gleaming beacon as it was -- shitposters (or rather people feeding shitposters and causing their number to increase) and retro police and all that -- but it was always expected for that to happen, and I still greatly enjoy the tone of most of this board.

Since you asked for a/s/l, 18/M/'Murrica.

>>920128
I'm 23 and multitask between /co/ and /m/. I also actively lurk in /v/, but rarely post. Like you, I wandered over to check the place out when it first went live and haven't left since.

Grew up as a one of the PC Masterace and as a unwavering Sega fanboy

>>920336
Well thanks!

Regardind that, I did try jumping in the CRT Shader-Filter bandwagon but I didn't like the way my games were looking with all those scanlines.

Nowadays I just buy games and play them in my consoles on my lovely CRT TV I still have. Nothing beats real hardware. If I need to emulate any SNES game that doesn't run on a flashcard, I just emulate on the Wii, again on a CRT TV, with a controller adapter.

>>920296
Well it's currently sitting on the floor in the baby's room which is sort of storage right now since he's not old enough to really need it yet. The house was mine before we got married but I was considerate enough to make the basement my man cave since my old place was 100% man cave and that's a pretty good compromise, especially since I've promised to turn the loft into a walk in closet she's always wanted. I already had a projector down in the basement. In fact, it was one of the first things I moved in and we have fond memories of watching laserdiscs down there together. Women like for their men to maintain some boyishness as long as you don't let them forget that.

>>920306
I like my cabs. I have a Vs Unisystem with Hogan's Alley in it, a CPS1 with SF, a Bally Sente with Wrestlefest that I plan to do the MAME conversion on, a Combatribes that I'd like to swap for an MVS, and a three-monitor cabinet with The Ninjawarriors in that I'm wondering if I couldn't get a Darius board and switch back and forth.

I grew up with an NES and a DOS computer loaded with games in my attic. One christmas my parents got me and my brother a gamecube, and I still played the NES and dos just as much. I played super mario bros religiously, searching for every secret and nook and cranny, and I ended up being able to run it in roughly 6-7 minutes before I got sick of it.
I've always preferred good old technology like CRT's and mechanical keyboards. I used to browse /g/ a lot, but now /vr/ is my main place.
I play retro vidya by emulating on my laptop and wii, hooked up to a CRT monitor and tv respectively.

/tg/, because they sometimes talked about DoSex(). I had no idea what WarHammer was before that board.

I tried /v/, and it was mostly people very very angry about games I'd never played.

33 years old, I'd say ranking the boards I frequent by personal use, it'd be mostly /d/, followed by /toy/, /po/. and sometimes /co/. Rarely /b/ just for the heck of it. And then I found this board and it's tied for first place.

25, from /jp/ and /g/. I come here mostly to learn about old games that I never got to play, and to occasionally post about the ones I did. Also because the /vr/ community is fantastic.

>>920475
And yes I'm that guy who occasionally forgets to take sage off.

I frequent /mu/; I come here because always enjoyed gaming, especially the golden era of 90's PC.

27/M/USA
I started on /v/, dabbled with /b/, found a home on /co/ and /a/.

27.

Had stopped going to /v/ entirely, only went rarely to check in to see if any news was going on and during the E3 shitstorm. /v/ is a terrible place and it just keeps getting worse and worse. Contrary to what some of you believe, "neo /v/" is a very real phenomenon and it's disgusting. I hardly go there anymore.

I go to /tv/, /vr/ occasionally and a certain chan outside of 4chan that has its own /r9k/ (can't give its name because its instab&). Not into 4chan's /r9k/ though.

/vr/ is a great board, gotta say.

>>920517
I used to visit /tv/, but all the 'newest blockbuster debates' and waifu threads really left me bored of it all.

>>920521
Eh, /tv/'s okay. I like it because it's kinda friendly and somewhat upbeat for 4chan standards. It has really lame humour, too, I guess but I grew to like it. I end up laughing at really stupid shit on that board. Guess it's not for everyone though.

Started on /b/ went to /g/ and lurked /sci/. Now I am here and I love you all except the faggots I hate that fag up the place.

>>920538
oh yeah, i'm 28

came from /v: which was the only board I visited

now this is the only board I visit

30, used to browse /v/, /a/ and /tv/ occasionally, while there was some good threads from time to time there was a lot of flavor of the moment threads with sides just throwing crap at each other.

The board was a surprise and since I don't play much of the newer stuff I was glad there was a place to talk about the older games I spent so much time with without the annoyance of registering on a forum and endure stuck-up moderators and their followers.

I don't mind about physical owning or authentic experience, just came for the games themselves.

/m/ and /lit/ representative here. I used to lurk /v/ but got fed up with the shitposting. Sometimes I go on /q/ and /tg/ too.

24 years old. I'm from /vp/. I came here because I'm a 16 bit man living in a next gen world.

>>920358
Yeah, I agree with you. I usually try and keep my games clean and simple as possible. But I do like the look of NTSC filters along with a light smattering of scanlines for a classic CRT effect while playing Kega

And yes, I'm aware that Decap Attack may not be the best example of the "superiority" of emulator filters

>>920575
This is a great thread and I don't want to stir up "muh scanloins" but I will say that even though technically scanlines take up 50% of the beamed signal, when I (and I think most people) adjust our real rgb displays we end up with about 25% actual black space with "bloom" although bright colors bloom more than dark colors making for a distinctly analog looking display. I dunno if there's a filter that replicates that or not.

I've not really been on 4chan near as much recently but the other boards I used to browse were /a/, /g/, /v/, and /sci/. Now I mostly just check this board, occasionally /g/ and /a/, agdg on /vg/, and very rarely /sci/.

I was rather new to 4chan at the time, and enjoy videogames, but wasn't pleased with what was currently glorified by /v/. I saw the announcement while sifting through /v/ for interesting threads, immediately clicked on it, and immediately discovered a Doom thread. It was beautiful, like the fitting cog in a clock. Ever since, this has been my main board, and I am glad. By the way, I posted this previously, and dont see it, so if this is a repost, I am sorry.

>>920575
Lower is bilinear fitlered.

>>920218
Nah unfortunately that wasn't me. My broke ass would never afford an iPad, haha. Tbh, Android is really growing on me though, I love how portable it is, may get a mini pc to use in my living room with this icontrolpad thing I bought to use with my iPhone a while back.

>>920262

>>920598
Oh, yeah, I wasn't trying to make this a "Filters" thread at all. I was just pointing out to the gentlemen my own preferences during a gaming experience

>>920625
Must be what Kega Fusion is set to automatically, because I'm sure I turned off all of the filters

I'm 23.
Browsed /l/ for its glorious short life, /b/ 2005-2007, /v/ 2006-2011, /a/ since 2009, /vg/ and /vr/ as soon as they were created.
Nowadays I don't have time to really browse anymore--I only have two /vg/ threads, one /a/ pseudo-general and the Doom general up at a time--but if I did randomly browse a board, it would definitely be /vr/.

I also drop in on /s4s/ occasionally because it reminds me of old /b/.

24 year old here, I've kind of stopped claiming a "home board" since I just tend to roam around on a whim between /a/, /co/, /sp/,/v/, here, and /d/. Maybe I'm part of the problem, but while most of those have gotten a lot worse, I don't usually have THAT hard of a time finding something somewhat interesting to browse in at any given time. I do miss pre-current mod /sp/ though, it was some of the best times I had on 4chan.

This board, though,is more or less the most consistantly great one. Everyone seems to be more interested in information and enjoyment of the older games than bitching or complaining about them, other than emulator purists and such.

34. /k/ommando.

I rarely browsed /v/ because it usually sucked. Haven't gone back once since /vr/ was born. I got 20000 GET in that shithole, though.

I'm underageb& but grew up with old vidya systems (older brother had a snes and n64, I later bought a NES) so they're my prefered systems. i could never find a good retro threads on /v/ that wasn't full of shitty console wars or OoT faggotry, so when this board was announced I figured i'd finally have a place where i could actually talk about games i liked or find gems of games that i haven't played or heard of before.

and since all the people i know IRL only play shit like CoD and don't even know what a snes is i resort to shit like 4chan to get my dose of retro vidya, so /vr/ is great

>>920731
You're my favorite kind of b&. Thanks for being real in a thread that is disproportionately indicating an oldfag /vr/ population.

31

Started out on /b/ back in 05, moved on to /gif/, /tg/, and /wg/, then had a few year hiatus... came back to /tg/ mostly. Never really got into /v/ for what're probably obvious reasons to the people on this board. Once /vr/ came into existence, it's probably my favorite board.

I saw the announcement at the top when I was browsing /k/.

Saw the sticky from /v/ when the board was first made. Saw how everyone was bitching because there was going to be a board that was actually about video games instead of misogyny and decided to check it out. I still occasionally visit /v/, but usually it's either by accident, or because I want to share in the excitement of events like Steam sales or E3.

I'll actually turn 30 this Tuesday. What's it like?

30yrs old fag here.

I find that /vr/ is a nice board, if a bit slow. But that's cool. It kind of keeps the wrong folks out. Hate to sound so elitist, but I think most of you know what I mean without me having to elaborate.

My main board is /co/, I've been more involved with comics than I have been with video games, but it's not like I don't wish I had more money growing up to be part of the cool kids and their Sega Nintendomatics. As a kid I playing arcade machines wherever I found them, and in a way I feel lucky that I grew up with them instead of Nintendo at home. I'd played Street Fighter 2 for a year at the arcade before I played it on SNES, and when I finally did I was severely disappointed. But then there's the stuff that wasn't in the arcades, that's the stuff I missed out on.

I bought some retro games in my 20s, filled in the gaps best I could, I at least have the advantage of forming my own opinion of something as an adult rather than be hindered by biased childhood nostalgia.

18 year old. I used to browse /v/, /co/ and /a/ at least a year ago but I left /v/ after summer 2012 for /vg/. Still browse /a/ and /co/ every once in a while. Discovered the board a few weeks after it's creation and stayed here ever since. Mainly in it for retro discussion, info, Metroid threads and the occasional Doom deathmatch server on the Doom threads. I had an uncle that had a bunch of games and shit and I used to learn my stuff by talking to him and playing the games he kept in his closet stowed away, fucker had a TG16 with the CD, a Saturn, a Dreamcast, a NES, a PS1, and hell, even a Super Grafx with the CD addon as well. I mostly inherited that shit and keep most of it stowed away in my room.

Once I get a job I'll start collecting for those consoles. Mostly to play the games as well since I don't want to bother with emulation for TG and Super Grafx. Been thinking about getting a Genesis and a Master System too, since those are the two major consoles I've missed out on.

I also have a boxfull of EGMs and NEXT generation's from back in the day, I would scan them, but they're pretty tattered so I don't want to risk getting them broken.

I've been posting for about seven years. I'm a gentle/m/an by trade, but I was a major contributor to both /mu/ and /x/ before /mu/ suddenly hated metal, and I became too lazy to write creepy pasta for /x/. I cruised around /sp/, and still hang out in various lakers/redskins game threads, but the main reason I'm on this board is because I love retro videogames. Newfriends have begun spreading autism and playing cyber police, which I understood would happen, but in all honesty, this is one of the better communities on this site. I can actually have a discussion about videogames without 14 year olds spewing memes everywhere, and there is a sense of teamwork in finding secrets, such as nightmare ned when the board first started, and recently with Chu Teng. My only complaint is that when /v/ crashed a while ago, a wave of idiots began thinking its cool to come here and I'm afraid it will drive the quality posters away.

29 here. I previously spent about half my time on /tv/ and the other half on /v/, but once /vr/ was announced I pretty much abandoned /v/ altogether. I got tired of the endless Pokemon and MUSTARD RACE threads.

Someone made a Taito appreciation thread early on - that's when I knew /vr/ was the place for me.

>>920964
Oh, so you're a pedophile. Those are the only people who consistently post on /tv/.

>>920969

Way to generalize. I'm sure if you told us where you came from, I could make all sorts of unflattering assumptions about you, too.

24. Started browsing in 06/07 cant remember. Mainly lurked on /b/, started going on all the other boards just to figure them out. Hung around /ck/, /x/, /b/ and /v/. I learned quickly that /b/ was pretty terrible but still checked it once a day or so. Left /x/ since it all became bullshit (how to summon succubus and shitty creepypasta threads). Started browsing /tv/ and /v/ mostly. Then /vg/ happened and /v/ became a bit better but /vr/ sealed the deal. I hardly go on /v/ now

>>920978
/m/. Do your worst.

I've never really had a home board on 4chan. The board I contributed the most to would be /tr/. The reason I came to /vr/? You guys just like video games, and that's good enough for me.

Came in from /co/ which I check sometimes, which helps with my job, but this is my home.

I'm collecting what little I can get my hands on, I've built a fairly decent collection, have a hobby room set up with a projector and a few consoles, and have recently started to emulate. Trying out some systems I never really played/don't own, like the PSX and Saturn. Having trouble but have yet to resort to modding a PSX and burning the games.

I was wary at first because /v/ wasn't really that good, but seriously guys this board is just what I needed. It's a little rough around the edges, but it's great. I'm constantly finding out about gems from you guys, and sharing good games and experiences is what this place is all about. It's a little comfy

>>920938
Sounds like what happened to /x/ back in 2008, /b/ went down and everyone from there flooded other boards and /x/ was one of the popular ones them to go to. After that /b/ started holding "raids" on /x/ like every other week for about a year and it's never been the same sense.

32.

/a/sshole originally. browse /fit/, /k/, and /sp/ every now and then and peek into other boards occasionally. Sort of in the process of trying to find all the games I played back then but never finished. I also like the posting rate. Reminds me of when marked for deletion (old) still existed.

I recently played Gods and Metal Mutant. Feels fucking good, man.

21 years old. Mostly fucked about in /v/, the occasional /vg/ thread (mostly /gsg/) and /e/. Came over to /vr/ because hey, retro board, that's my bag. Gaming on a shitty laptop most of my life gravitated me towards the older PC games, and I grew up on the SNES and the N64, so "my games" almost entirely fall under the /vr/ umbrella. Add the fact that we have pinball threads here, that the GameCenter CX general landed here and the slower pace (which means I can make a post, go to bed, get up in the morning and read the replies to the post, something I really like), and I'm completely sold.

24 here. I browse /b/, /v/ and occasionally /vp/. I was getting pretty fed up with /v/ as they hardly discussed games that I actually like as well as the constant shitposting. I found myself going on less and less until I read the notification of this board's addition and was pleasantly surprised. Most of my time on 4chan is spent here now.

I'm 20, I came here when the board was announced because /v/ has become more terrible than it ever was. I frequent /co/ and /tv/ .
I really enjoy it here it's a pretty slow board but people are nice here and it's good for discussions.

20, my home board used to be /g/ but many of the topics ended up migrating over to smaller more specialized boards like /sci/ and /diy/ and /g/ became a place for cellphones and gaming computers. I mainly visit smaller boards now, and occasionally /v/ when they talk about games that interest me.

am a 26 years old /b/, /lit/, /x/, /k/, /out/ guy who came here because im obsessed with old point and click adventure games, especially the one with kitsch FMV scenes in it like Tex Murphy, phantasmagoria etc. Love adventures like shadow of the comet, beneath a steal sky, etc etc

Mostly /vp/, /lgbt/, and /vg/. (You guys are my second homeboard, next to /vg/. <3) I do spend a bit of time on /q/ and the porn boards, but I think most of us do.

I'm 22.

Lets see, before this I was on /v/ most of the time but wasn't really content with having to browse for so long just to find a semi-coherent thread that hadn't derailed yet. I couldn't really migrate to any other board because my passion lied in video games. I would occasionally browse some of the /g/ programming threads but never really ventured beyond that. Initially, when this board was announced, I thought I might check it out but I wasn't sure if I would fit in too well since I'm only 19. I was a member of a broke immigrant family that wasn't keen on supporting my video game hobby at a young age. This means that I was playing a Genesis when the Gamecube was in style and a GBC when everyone had a GBA, so I did actually spend a lot of time playing board relevant content as a kid. This also means, however, that I missed out on some cool stuff. I never owned an SNES or N64, for instance, so I enjoy playing the stuff that I hear about on this board.

>>921289
At the moment I'm trying to catch up on the consoles I missed as a kid, I'm also working on upgrading an old MAME arcade my family came into possession about 10 years ago, but was only in commission for about 1.

I mostly lurk /vr/ and occasionally get on /v/ at night, with regular visits to the Animal Crossing general on /vg/. I pretty much stopped going to /g/ altogether but it's still in my bookmarks.

I love hearing all the neat stuff you guys have to say. Like all the sweet 3D possible on the Gameboy? Blew my mind. You guys are great.

29 here. I frequent /e/, /vg/ for the one or two series I enjoy following, /g/ sometimes but I've mostly stopped for the reasons OP mentioned, I'm one of the few souls on /p/, and sometimes I hit up /m/ because their anime tastes sometimes very occasionally match mine to some extent (too bad we can't have an anime retro board...) I hardly even touch /v/ and have practically abandoned it since /vr/ has been opened.

I'm 27 and I'm a dude if that matters at all. Like most people I started out on /b/, that was back in around 05 or 06, can't quite seem to pinpoint it. Then, when I got fed up with /b/ after a few years, I started exploring the other boards, mainly those relating to my interests back then; /v/ and /tv/. My browsing has usually been spread out accross several boards since then, as it still is today, and I also visited a few other boards, such as /mu/ and /co/, but my main stomping ground back then was /tv/, which I was inexplicably addicted to for a few years(the place was and is still shit). Then, when I got fed up again, I moved to /g/, adding other boards such as /lit/ and /pol/ as they trickled in. I also started browsing /ck/ at one point, liking the practicality and applicability it adds to my daily life(I can get recipe suggestions there, not eat the same shit everyday, etc). However, since /vr/ has opened up, it has been my main stomping ground. I like the slow pace of the board, mixed with its friendly users(that's you, guys!). It also got me back in touch with retro gaming(the 90s/early 00s was the period I was the most active as a gamer, basically from my childhood with the NES as my first console in 89 to the PS2 era in my late adolescence onto my early 20s. I also got into emulation as a teenager). So basically, to sum it up, I visited and still visit all the boards mentioned above to some degree(including a few others to a lesser extent, such as /gif/, /sci/, /tg/, /x/, etc.), but my main stomping grounds, where I lurk regularly, have been /b/ -> /tv/ -> /g/ -> /vr/.

>>920731
I'm not sure if I have the heart to report you. You seem like a pretty okay guy, for an underage b&. :3

I come from the porn boards. My friends were /v/ men that always talked about how great /v/ was compared to /b/ but I never really saw what they were talking about. One of them suggested /vr/ to me a few months ago and I've been coming here every night. I'm mostly here for the nostalgia and for suggestions on things to play that I might have missed.

>>921492
I'm 27 and by "come from the porn boards" I mean that I have frequented /gif/ and /b/ from 06' to the present and used to use /s/ before streaming porn was a thing. I still don't feel like less of a perv after trying to clarify this.

I made /vr/ my new home when our Lord moot blessed up with it.

I now frequent /vr/ and /pol/.

19 btw

/toy/ soldier here, 27. I´m not a big fan of modern games, but a friend gave me an n64 as thanks from helping him on a work. Have been collecting ever since. I love classic nintendo, but now I am falling in love with Sega, specially the genesis. Buyfag, I usually don´t like emulation.

I don't pledge my allegiance to any particular board.
There's a few I don't touch because they have turned into utter shit though.

I certainly hope the powers that be are paying attention to this thread because it's full of what /vr/ ought to be. I don't know how but it's a good one.

I go to /vr/ and /toy/.

I was mostly /toy/ before /vr/, although I spent a year solid on /v/ and then /g/ each a few years back.

24 btw.

>>920128
I'm 20, came from /v/ mostly. I also frequented /g/, /mu/, and /x/

>>920450
>/d/, followed by /toy/

Planelegs?

>>920128
I went to /v/ to talk about video games since no one I know IRL is too big into them. I came here as soon as /vr/ was created since it is a much more better place to talk about them, even if I cant discuss modern games (which I also like).

>>921719
Planelegs would be more /g/uro, /toy/.

>>920128
>because /g/ has slowly turned into a damned smartphone/OS/headphone buyer's guide.
Yeah, kinda why I stopped going to /g/ as much. Repetitive and boring, and the macfags moved in.
I spent much of my time on /v/ but that board somehow managed to go from shit to really, REALLY shit. Glad this place exists to talk about vidya

27 here. My home's a little place called Nyymichan.fi. There's next to no gaming discussion, but it's an alright place. The major Finnish board, ylilauta, is hands down as bad as /s4s/ and flooded with underagers and the mods don't even care. So the gaming community is pretty much dota, lol, cod etc.
I used to browse 4chan /v/ in hope of Morrowind threads or retro discussion, but /v/ is just horrible.
This board is awesome, sometimes I even forget I'm on 4chan. I love you guys, this is my home away from home.

If you played MSX you should add to my MSX thread.

>>921829
Sorry, my Norwegian /vr/other, never had one. I'll be sure to read through if I got anything to contribute.

I'm from /a/ and /x/, and I came here when it was made, though I'm here only rarely.
age 21
/v/ is cancer, and this place is much much better, so I come here when I want to talk about video games I enjoy, because video games in the most recent years are mostly complete shit.

I'm happy to see so many /x/philes here.
I'm sad for what it has become.

>>920128
I came from /v/ as my main board since /v/ has mostly been shit up so bad that there's rarely a single worthwhile post. It's far better here but it's been getting it's share of fucking retards from /v/ passing through.

I came here a bit after having deciding to leave /mu/, I was on the verge of leaving 4chan all together, but then this board was made and I like "retro" games, so I started going here. That's about it.

who /freesp/ here?
who /arse/ here

I'm 20 and on occasions I'd lurk /B/ when I was bored. I used to use 420 chan's /woo/ a lot, if that counts for anything. Then I lurked /V/ for maybe a week, quit and one day this was here. I love it here. I feel like I can have an actual conversation, unlike /B/. That and a new thread isn't being made every moment, It appears most people at least put 3-4 seconds of thought before making a thread.

>>921984
>mfw /B/

>>922000
My bad. My fiancé always criticizes my grammar and got me into the habit of doing that... She's kind of a massive bitch when it comes to shit like that, and has me whipped.

>>922008
why would she have you do that when it's actually incorrect

>>922012
She says it's the title of the image-board, and should be considered a proper name... I don't get it, kind of the same logic as to why she loads the dishwasher from large items to small.

>>922018
Tell her that, unless there is a way to capitalize a /, the proper name is /b/.

>>922021
Listen, here's the facts that I know as they happen.
-It bothers her and she bitches.
-I get into habits to accommodate her life that are strange for a lot of people.
-She puts my penis in her mouth, and I stop questioning stupid shit and do as I'm told.

Came from /a/, SIR.

This had nothing to do with video games.

>>922018
>>922021

Which is irrelevant, because /b/ is not the title of the board. /b/ is the location of the board. The title of the board is "Random". Try going to /B/ and you will find that there is nothing there.

I'm 24 years old. I came here originally from /v/, but I never really was a "regular" there (I hardly even play video games anymore); visiting only in my fleeting moments of boredom for something funny browse. At first I thought the idea of this board was a bit pointless and I didn't come here for a while, but eventually decided to give it a try and to my surprise, the discussion here was generally very civil and people were having actual discussions about games I played growing up. To be honest, I come here as much as I still go to /v/, but both for different reasons; I browse /v/ for quick laughs, I browse /vg/ to read revive old video game memories and learn about things that I might have missed out on so I can perhaps emulate them or something.

Male, 23.

I still hop on /v/, but only to catch up on "current events" in gaming. When /vr/ hit I got a mad boner over the Doom threads that were always going.

I also like taking a look at /co/ once in awhile and /pol/ when I want to get mad

OP here. Holy fuck, I love you guys.

Recently turned 22. Boards I visited were /v/, /vg/ and /g/. These days I'm usually coming here, and accidentally going to the others out of impulse.

I really liked the emulation threads on /v/ (and eventually /vg/). I'll admit to being an accuracy purist, but that may be because I work in game development on the technical side of things (particularly in game portability, where accuracy is a major factor...), so I do like seeing proper preservation of the hardware, blah blah blah.

One thing that was in those threads that really stuck here was the platform variety, both in the actual consoles and the operating systems people use day-to-day. As a Linux/Mac user, that makes me a happy guy. (Noticing a lot of people from /g/, so this may be why!)

With so many technically proficient people around, I'm surprised we don't see a lot of emulation _development_ here as well. I'm still holding out for someone making a *nix port of the Project64 2.1 source, wish I had the time for it myself!

>>922412

Male here, turned 28 about a month ago. Been with 4chan off and on since the beginning. Used to mainly hang on /tv/ and /x/, with sporadic visits to /tg/ and /co/. Was almost as disgusted with /v/ as with /pol/ the couple times I visited. I go to /sci/ a fair deal too, but it's ridiculously slow.

I found a warm and loving home, apart from an ill-fated thread about Myst, which a bunch of people still like to an inexplicable degree, on /vr/. I'm not a tinfoiler or anthing btw, I was just on /x/ for the creepypasta and the lulz. And they have the best Chan-tan.

Does /vr/ have a cute mascot girl yet?

>>922439
It runs so easily under WINE,so that maay be a pipe dream, Anon :(

>>922439
>With so many technically proficient people around, I'm surprised we don't see a lot of emulation _development_ here as well.
/emu/ on /vg/ occasionally attracts emu devs, so there may be some native ones hiding there as well.

24 years old. Frequented /v/ and /mlp/, but have been visiting both less often, latter moreso due to diminishing content and slipping from the fandom. /v/, while amusing sometimes, is pretty much a cesspool.

I came to /vr/ out of general curiosity. Stayed since the community is pretty damn cool here. It's also nice to have some genuinely awesome conversations here. It also helps that the threads don't move dickspeed fast like /v/ and not 404 so quickly. We can put all of our thoughts together in a single post rather than haphazardly stringing together some quick sentences in hopes of making a quick point before the thread 404s.

It also helps me to recollect some of my memories here for some endeavors of mine regarding retro games (namely writing). My retro collection isn't that extensive, mostly taking up a single level on my self, and all games owned since my childhood. Was a NES/SNES/PS1 kid. My interest in playing collecting retro games really grew in the past few years, partly from some friends of mine, and another from my lack of interest in the current gen offerings.

(Anyone that saw a massive spoiler post earlier, my bad. Missed a slash there.)

I find it fascinating this board isn't 6 months old but I feel like I've been here for years

never really fit in anywhere else

26 here.
Originally reddit, then /b/, then found here. I like it here a lot more - good discussions by interested people, not a ton of 13 year olds, not a ton of shitty attitudes, and active enough to get good threads/discussion.

I love retrogaming. Quite frankly, I can't afford to spend 60 bucks every time the newest thing comes out, or the newest console, or WHATEVER.

I have games that I like to play over and over. They just happen to be mostly for SNES, GB/C, and GBA.

However, I have the LARGEST backlog EVER of stuff I've been needing to play that has built up over the last 5-6 years. Life has been busy and I am taking the bar exam in a little over a week. After that, I have months of nothing, so if anyone has any great suggestions or endorsements for SNES/GBA/GB/GBC, throw them my way. (including VC releases I guess).

>>922529
>datpicture

Why are my sides going H.A.M.?

And yes, it's a beautiful thing. I can come to this board, state my opnion, and have an actual discussion.

18 Male here. I've been on 4chin since I was 15, browsed /b/, then /v/. I was here day one when /vr/ was announced. It's a good board filled with the really nice community /v/ has hiding away.

I'm sort of into and not into retro gaming. I own a few retro consoles, mostly my brothers. (Mega Drive, Gameboy, SNES (recently got that), and N64) I had a PS1, but my brother broke that.

I fixed up a Mega Drive recently, the first console I ever played on, I also bought a fuck ton of games for it. I started out with Vectorman, and now I have nearly all the Sonic games for it and more.

I want to collect a play a lot of games, games like Super Metroid, and OOT on cartridge on a real TV, but until then I usually use emulators.

I also came here with false hopes that the Dreamcast would be considered retro, too bad it isn't, really is the best console ever made, and I wish I could discuss it here, without that worst part of the /vr/ community shouting "NOT RETRO"

>>922551
>that worst part of the /vr/ community shouting "NOT RETRO"
If that's the worst part of the community, I say it's pretty solid.

Who says it's not retro? Moot, mods or autists? The console was released in late 1998.

>>922557

I agree with this post and the post it was replying to

>>922570
Pretty much. Also all the damn generals they had annoyed the shit outta me. All the shitstorms, drama, and the massive exodus that occurred (don't know much details about that, but let's just leave it there).

Back on topic, another thing I like about this thread is those "Can't Remember Name of Old Game" thread. I can both get help for games I can't remember and return the favor to others that can't remember. Just remembered Conquest of the Crystal Palace not too long ago thanks to one of those threads. Like some have said already, it's like finally coming home here.

Those are a carry over from /v/, though they obviously occurred less often on there.

>>922596

/vr/ is slowing down, though.

We need to find some sort of regular feature, like the /vr/ gauntlet and whatnot, to keep things quick.

Tht's my new catchphrase: MUH Scanloins

>>922609

>keep things quick

There had to have been a better way for me to phrase that.

Original wave of newfags here.
Came to 4chan in 2005, slowly watched it collapse under his own weight.
As most people back then, you either went to /a/ and/or /b/, I started off with /b/ and as it became the cesspool it is now, I along with most of the users migrated to /v/. Then we all watched /v/ fall apart all over again, and last year I hardly even mustered up the interest to go there. Then the new boards were announced and I came to /vr/ and am slowly enjoying /gd/ as well.
This place is great, but in these last two or three weeks I am starting to feel some changes going on as well, there is some some underlying bitterness in most discussions that usually didn't happen in the first months, I might just be looking too much into things, or maybe I'm just too paranoid, not wanting to see yet another board falling apart.
Oh, and my age is 26.

>>920598
>muh scanloins
That's my new catchphrase: MUH Scanloins

>>920128
came from /b/ as a starting point on 4chins then moved on to /v/ which I frequent but then found interest in old vidya topics on here. I enjoy garage sale hunting and flea market shopping with my buds and seeing pick ups from various people on here always intrigues me on how much they go it for or how oblivious/stubborn the seller was. I usually lurk around here but it's nice talking to others of some classics.

>>922621
I'll take five bioshocks, please.

>>922646
I'm sorry, Bioshock is no longer in stock. May I interest you in a copy of Lego Island demo disc?

>>922621

WTF was even going on here.

Been farting around 4chan since about '05. Mostly just lurking /v/, making the occasional post in any threads that I was interested in (retro games etc.). I noticed this board one day on the home page and I haven't looked back since. This is one of the only boards on this site that aren't just a dick waving contest. The fact that it's a slower board is great, Threads don't 404 before I get a chance to share my opinion on something. Generally /vr/ knows what it's talking about and is very helpful if you ask a question.

Good job guys keep it up!

Japan.

>>922706

I wonder if the sense of malaise I see in the dog's eyes is actually there or if I'm imagining it.

>>922706
>>922697

I live in Portugal and dog vendors are a huge epidemic here, every street corner is filled with them and seeing how little they demand for payment at the end of the day is really driving all the other businesses around them to the ground. Usually a scratch in head and some biscuits at the end of the day will keep them happy. They are also very cute so people prefer doing business with them, even if most of them times they will sell you pre-chewed games and find it really hard to understand the concept of money and change, but they can handle it, they just need a little help some times.
They absolutely refuse to do business with cats though, which makes it really hard for me to buy games.

>>922697
>>922706
There are things soldin vending machines in Japan that willmake you question your God.

On-topic: The first consoleI ever touched was an actual Pong machine. The first arcade game I ever put money into was the sitdown, vector-based Star Wars game. The first PC game I ever played was Turtle Logo at school.The first (and only) board I ever loved was /vr/

>>922716

>>922557
I don't like the 1999 rule because it makes no sense not including the dreamcast, but you just have stick with it, everyone having their own opinnion on what's retro or not would make this board into a huge mess.

This thread has nothing to do with retro games or video games and most of you are reddit or /b/ faggots

>>922774
Go away. Stop fagging up the place.
>>922759
Well if we ever include the dreamcast, then we also need to include D2:LoD. Because love that shit. Inb4 some other guy screams not retro.

I don't want to talk about my age as I don't want to sound like I am coming off as "so mature for my age" but let's just say that I have one year ahead before I can legally come to 4chan.

I can't quite remember when I came to 4chan exactly but I do know that /v/ was my first board here. After a while I remember the flood of feels that came and it made me go looking for a new board. I have stuck with /co/ the most because I like animation and any comics besides cape ones in general. I also tried going to /mu/ and /tv/ to learn about some obscure album/show I never heard of. And while I do enjoy reading manga (Jojo is my favorite) I couldn't stand going to /a/ due to always being threads about some girly show that I don't care (but I did stay if I found a Jojo thread).

Right now /v/ is hardly the main source for vidya discussion I use since I found some small site that mixes sarcastic humor but with truthful analysis. Really the only reason I like going to /vr/ is that it's more geared toward actual discussion to games then autism/filename/consolewar/whatever general thread /v/ likes to have.

As far as games I play I am more of a mixed style as one minute I like playing Armed Police Batrider and then Hitman:Blood Money. I don't have any favorite genre or game for that matter but I can say that the PS1 (or PSX if you like to be picky) has my biggest number of games I like (which coincidentally happens to be my first console I ever had). So yeah that's all I can say.

Also I don't know about you guys but I enjoy playing Supercade games (besides fighters as well) and if anyone likes I would love to play some Mars Matrix or Aliens Vs Predator with you.

>>922791
Alien vs. Predator is a lot of fun. Have steam?

The boards I mained before /vr/ were /mu/, /a/, and /vg/ (mostly Shin Megami Tensei General), but i also occasionally visit /co/, /fit/ and /fa/

>>922784
>stop fagging up the place
No, you go away you fucking >>>/soc/ piece of shit, tell me how this thread belongs on /vr/ in any form.

>>922821
What took you so long? We were waiting for you all night!

>>922774
welcome to 4chan.

I guess we would have had more cred if we came here from something awful or whatever website you came here from?

Used to go on /v/ the most, when this board was announced I realized I don't even play games newer than ~7 years, jumped ship and never looked back.

>>920128
19. I started on /vp/ on 4chan, and occasionally looked at /v/, but I just couldn't get into its atmosphere. After this board was created, I started heading here, as I played mostly my older brothers super nintendo and some old games on the only computer my family would let me use- a Win98 pc- when I was younger.

>>922821
I don't know if you realize this, but most of the people that frequent this board have probably posted in this thread by now. OUTLANDER.

Popularity yeenhae

Might as well partake in this nonsense. 21, been lurking around 4chan since 2005, spent most of that time on /v/. Got fed up of /v/ in about 2010, but kept lurking it anyways, watching it go further and further downhill.

Eventually decided to jump ship here shortly after it was announced and had a civil discussion about vidya on 4chan for the first time in years.

I occasionally go back to /v/, because I do still play modern games, but it's an irredeemable cesspool at this point; and the few genuinely interesting threads devolve into shitflinging within the first few posts.

Much like >>920317 and >>920517 said, well over 24 hours ago, people joke about "neo /v/" and its ilk, but when even threads about well-liked Nintendo games get derailed by the usual "nintenyearold" back-and-forth, you really do have to wonder.

I came from /v/ when /vr/ was announced. It's so nice to actually be able to discuss video games.

i normally dont go to 4chan at all because every board dealing with stuff im interested in is garbage.

this board is ok, though garbage still stumbles through now and again. nice to casually browse

>>920128
I think the pic in the OP is too flimsy, no one would ever make that because those thumb drives could break off easily. Make em cards that plug in easily and it'll be better.

I came here from /v/, though I dabbled in all kinds of other boards. /vr/ is my new home base, as being on an actual good board has helped me enjoy video games much more. I love that it's a slow board too, I don't have to constantly be here to catch threads. More over, you can actually get your thread responded to, instead of watching everything you want to discuss go 404 in 10 minutes.

>>922456
>Does /vr/ have a cute mascot girl yet?
We have all of them

23, used to browse /v/ regularly until /vg/, but since the /vg/ split I see myself going more into /m/ and /a/, and /vg/ until the generals I used to visit became shitposting cesspools wow general was pretty chill until the avatarfags came

/v/ has been becoming worse and worse since god know how long, and the splits only made it worse; Things that used to be jokes are now serious as fuck (especially the whole "master race" bullshit, if you think about it it doesn't make any sense)

I like to see how /vr/ didn't turn the way /vg/ did.

I come from /v/ mostly because that is the topic that interests me most, though I don't have any recent consoles and I find myself always playing games from the time period I was born into (I am 26 years old so not surprising that it is 16 bit era and afterwards). I came here because as said I don't own anything recent, possibly because it doesn't interest me as much, and I like to see people talk about games I use to play or eventually played well over a decade later through emulation.

Sharing tips on how to get through levels or how to best use the games mechanics to your advantage and seeing people triumph over a game.

>I actually LIKE the slow nature of /vr/, because I don't have the time to be on forechin daily.
Same here, also shows that the bulk of these threads cannot survive on /v/ due to how frequent responses are. I can talk to a person and have posts range from many hours from one another and not worry about the thread 404'ing.

I still want to 1CC an arcade game. Given more time I am sure I will triumph. I am also one of the resident SaGafags.

I used to come to this site, only lurking for the porn pics. Later I noticed /v/ then /vg/ then /vr/.
A few months ago I started actually posting. I can feel myself being grabed and I can't leave.

But my opinion:

/v/ is full of shitposting, pointless platform wars, gamer celebrities/pink news, anita, no gf feels, nice handheld faggot, diamond dogs, ff9 guardette, late night Stu, multiple steam sale threads and queries that are pointless to anyone else.

/vg/ is awesome for those who have the game and can keep talking about its intricassies and it's good for selecting a game to play because usually, if the game is THAT talked, it must be a good investment.

/vr/ is where it's at. much less shitposting, awesome to learn about titles i know i can play on a toaster, reminiscing ye olde nostalgic days etc.

>>923205
how is peach not in there and fucking christ its nothing but fighters
biased as bullshit

>>920128
I vaguely browsed /v/ to keep up with random vidya news and then /vr/ was made so I browsed /vr/ for older interesting titles I missed and then I got pissed at /vr/ for having so many pretentious fucktards who based their pretensions on almost nothing but a very light amount of intelligence (which I guess is somewhat fair because video games is filled to the brim with retards, from fans to developers) and that was about it. All I really do here is argue about game design and mechanics and tell people they're morons for hailing shitty jrpgs as the greatest of titles without being able to explain why outside of utter nonsense like their 'great stories' and 'interesting combat' or even shit as stupid as 'You just don't like jrpgs'.
Fuck jrpg fans

/v/ use to have decent discussion of lesser known titles and classic games, but as time went on things really went downhill and turned into constant fights over what ever trash had been hyped that month. Far more often I was running into anons who genuinely had no grasp of the fundamental history/technology that games were built upon, and I suspect a good number of them were underage. I just got tired of it and was ready to leave 4chan entirely, but then /vr/ popped up and quickly turned into everything I was hoping for... A board for people who actually love games.

18 who came here from /lit/diy/ck/fit/ after building a mame cabinet for my dad's birthday, stuck around cause its cosy af and helps put me to sleep

25 here. Used to be a /b/tard a long time ago and was sporadically a /mu/tant since then.

I don't know how but I heard about /vr/ in its first weeks while I hadn't been on 4chan in months and decided to come back just for this board.
