/vr/ - Retro Games

>>9428897
I don't think a soul out there has put out there that it's some legendary mega system and not just a platform with a lot of good games. The whole argument over importance and exclusivity is so pretentious. I bet you that if you spend time playing x68000 games either on or off the consoles you'll experience, quantitatively more spontaneous smiles per hour than spending time talking about it on here will bring you.

>>9428909
I have played some of the games in emulation but it's just that I can't really find anything that doesn't have a MAME rom dump which is better or at least, exactly the same.

You sound butthurt for some reason too. Why? Can you name a couple games which I can't play on another system, or some software, anything worthwhile? I grew tired of emulating it because there's nothing really going on there.

>>9428897
Wait...
Like... a Motorola 68000?

>>9428897
>is calling something a meme without knowing what the word meme actually means a meme?
Yes. Yes it is.
>i don't know about things so they don't exist
Many such cases
>It becomes clear that I have issues
Indeed

It was one of the many non PC/Mac alternatives that existed back then, and a very good one. Like these other systems all reddit talks about is games so that's all you hear about. Even worse as this was japan exclusive.

The only reason for someone like you to want to "collect" them is for likes and upvotes. But you're a poorfag and an EOP, so SOL. I still have my original, and my FM Towns, and Amigas, and a buttload of others. lmao at poorfag bandwagoners.

>>9429010
>and a very good one
If it was good why wasn't there any software? Non-game software is exceedingly hard to come by as I said.

>>9428996
its a computer not a phone dummy

>>9429130
Nigga my damn calculator has a Motorola 68000 CPU.
It's a piece of shit.
Why in G-d's name would I want a whole desktop that's that shitty?

>>9428897
yeah its a literal meme. every single time someone talks about it, you get the following
>it has castlevania
>it was the CPS-1 dev machine (even though it only got 5 fucking capcom games)

the street fighter ports are overrated. CE has sound issues, and new challengers is so poorly optimized that it runs like shit on a base x68000 (no reason when the snes can handle a decent port with turbo speed no less)

>>9429140
because the only boobs you can see on your calculator is 80085

>>9428897
Even when it was current you'd probably have been better off to buy a supergun.

>i don't own this thing, and I've never actually played real hardware, but I will dictate whether it is worth owning or not
OP, please kill yourself. Do us all a favor. You will not be missed

>>9429330
It's such a piece of shit that I've entirely abandoned it in favor of something that actually works in the real world.
Is it neat as a tinkerer's toy? Oh fuck yea.
Is it something that actually does useful shit I need on a daily basis? hahahaha no. no it's not.

>>9429330
And man, I gotta give you props.
I set up the whole "G-d" bait, and instead you went for the 80085 bit.
Not sure if you're a genius or a retard, but props either way. Good shit mah nigga.

>>9429381
Kill your entire family.

>>9429578
>no u
Man, lemme be real witchu fo a moment here.
You can do better than that.
I know you can.

>>9429054
>i don't know about things so they don't exist

>>9428897
I'd would like one to play those arcade ports and it seems like the closest thing without using emulation. You used to be able to get one under $200 but now its way too hard to find so I'll just play the conversions on the ps1 and saturn.
I think pc98 got more software because it had lots of expansion slots and a hard drive was pretty standard, even nintendo used it to make games. The most well known games are the gradius remake of an msx game and castlevania.

>>9429140
Powerful cpu means more shovelware, just look at ps2.

>>9429651
Not him.
You're clearly butthurt.

List some cool exclusives.

I don't give a fuck about original hardware, i just emulate. If it's got good games I'll check them out.

in the 80s the 68k was a CPU for ballers
16 different 32 bit registers, 24 bit addressing for accessing up to 16 meg without banking
makes the z80 and 6502 look like fat nasty trash

>>9429829
>i'm him
>i'm clearly butthurt
>spoon feed me gaemz cause
kek

>>9429934
Ok retard. I've concluded op is right and this thing has no games. You're just a plastic fume huffing ewaste hoarder. Closing thread.

>>9428897
There's not a lot of compelling reasons to collect one now. However, when the system was new there were many.

1. Play games on the most powerful home hardware available.
2. Use other software to do all of the typical productivity tasks a PC can do.
3. Connect to BBS and chat online. Send and receive emails. Later, connect to the early world wide web.
4. Program your own software, including video games if you have the drive to do it.
5. Play eroge (most important reason to own one).

Its less of a meme of any retro computer, not just japanmese but also western since it actually had games and good ones at that.

So who's hyped for the mini system? Non of the expense of importing a tower and less hassle trying to breathe life into the 40 odd year old thing.

>>9430095
Its the most interesting mini system they have ever released, the biggest reason is because a real working X68000 is extremely pricey and rare

>>9430095
just emulate for free instead of paying to emulate on a shitty little thing like this

it runs, I guess. Not much quality in a library of several hundred games that isn't replicated elsewhere.

>>9430107
Ofcourse it's emulation, but it's fun having it all in a nice little package. Plus, they're shipping the og keyboard and mouse with it too.

>>9430142
>it's fun having it all in a nice little package
is it?

>>9429829
>List some cool exclusives.

not many
the remake of gradius 2 msx called "gradius 90 kai" is the most interesting

>>9428920
>You sound butthurt for some reason too.
I guess people like you doesn't understand what pride is, but my father gave it his all helping to develop the Sharp X68000, just for a whiny kid to come here and spit on his work. My family is where it is because of hard work.

>>9429556
And why would I go for the "Galahad" bait? You probably dislike arthurian legend, but what do I have to do with it?

>>9430107
X68000 emulation isn't that great

>>9429829
Castlevania X68
Salamander
Cho Ren Sha
Granada
Gradius 2
R-Type
Mad Stalker
Geograph Seal
Parodius Da!
Sorcer Striker
Bosconian
Super Hang-On
Star Cruiser (but get the translation first)
Asuka 120% if only for that music, no console port's OST came close to the greatness of the original soundtrack
https://youtu.be/r5V-FXLs1Pc?t=303

>>9430403
>exclusives
None of those are really exclusive are they, maybe Star Cruiser.

>>9428909
It is legendary but for the music

And for anyone that wanted to listen to all of this and more on an emulator
https://archive.org/details/X68000MDXML
>>9430486
Some are the best home ports that were ever released, at least on a retro machine, Mad Stalker and Star Cruiser should be played on X68000 since they are overall the best versions, Geograph Seal is another exclusive.

>>9430095
I am so excited to run a licensed emulator.

>>9428897
Nope.

>>9430507
>Some are the best home ports that were ever released
But we have MAME now, making them irrelevant.
>Geograph Seal
What's this game about anyway?

>>9430659
The combi-mouse-trackpad alone is worth the entry fee.

>>9430717
>But we have MAME now, making them irrelevant

They are not irrelevant since a lot of them are basically identical to the arcade original but with preset credits by default, Bosconian on X68 was an upgrade to the original too.
Geograph Seal is an impressive showcase of 3D graphics on a machine that certainly wasn't made for it, pretty decent game too.

>>9430753
>is an impressive showcase of 3D graphics on a machine that certainly wasn't made for it, pretty decent game too
That's cool, actually. Looks like a proto-Starfox.

>>9430759
Those devs went on to make the Jumping Flash series, basically Geograph Seal on PS1.

>>9430070
But OP said it has great games. You ESL or just retarded or both?

>>9430802
It has great games, just (almost) nothing that isn't as good or better on some other system.

>>9428897
x68000 is a shmup beast.

>>9430842
How did i not hear of this?
>was recently released in 2014 by the game's creator
That's what i get from getting old rompacks

Best music port

>>9430809
All the exclusives I've seen are solid. Are there, perhaps, so many out there that some tard is missing the gems in all the clutter?
"some other system" might (often) mean a very expensive PCB. On a board where kiddos constantly claim that shit like the Saturn has """arcade perfect""" ports said kiddos should be worshiping the ground the x68k walks on.
Problem is they're more interested in throwing tantrums because they got called out for saying something stupid than talking about games.
