Retro Game Videos Shows Master Thu Nov 28 11:39:40 2013 No.1230493 [DELETED]

I'm sure many of you, like me, hate the 50 million let's play videos that have flooded video sharing sites recently.

Today I want to share some shows I like. Shows that take the time and energy to make well made videos that deserve your time. I also want to find some new shows that I don't know about, so share em' if you got em'.

RULES:
1. Videos must not be a let's play.
2. Reviews/Overviews/Facts/Interesting Information/Rarities are fine
3. Multiple videos from same series are fine.
4. Do not post obvious try-hards doing it just to get famous. REAL FUCKING GAMERS ONLY.

PortsCenter

This guy compares ports of video games. If you are into that kind of thing, this show is really well researched and presented.

Rerez

The show has it's ups and downs. It's not always about retro games but when it is they usually cover rare items and titles. The episode I am sharing is the one about an old Nintendo table top game that has been forgotten by most.

Mathewmatosis

Gives very in depth, good, mostly unbiased reviews on games. Does a great job reviewing the 3D Zelda games as well as a handful of other games. Most aren't retro, but they're still very good reviews. And frankly I love his accent

Generation 16 is one of the best produced shows on youtube. He plays through every sega genesis game in order and gives a little review about each one. Lots of interesting facts and reviews on japanese exclusives I didnt even know existed.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCp8i9lrUh4

this shit is awesome

Also there is Dr.Sparkles chrontendo where he does the same thing. (Generation 16 actually ripped him off but his production values arent quiet as high). He does chrontendo which is all famicom games, chronsega where he included the mastersystem, and chronturbo for the pc engine. Awesome show very relaxing good to fall asleep to.

http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcIR456wyb4aVlJ9_2kGLtg

Awesome stuff though sure beats the crap out of the shitty reviewers like jontron, happy console gaymer, and the likes.

Yeah but seriously there are some people like Irate Gamer who you could literally call fake gamers, using "not real gamers" to discredit anything you don't like is obnoxious.

Even fucking Game Grumps, where the two always suck at the game and don't focus on the game at all, can't be called "fake gamers" because they actually enjoy games. I guess.

Literally the only "fake gamer" I can think of is Irate Gamer (do I have to explain that?). It's not really a huge issue.

I really like LGR (Lazy Game Reviews)

He loves his PC games and Duke Nukem

The hardware reviews are the best, although there are some edutainment reviews that are also great.

IMO he's relatively underrated and is a good mix of information with a little humor peppered in

I'm going to have to second this, LGR has the formula for informative+entertaining down.
They guy is also very accessible, I've actually traded one of my Tandy's to him for a commodore 64.
Only gripe I have is that he only does older PC games, which I guess isn't really a gripe.

I however, will see your LGR, and raise you one Research Indicates.
I have NEVER seen someone better at reviewing than him, he's got the perfect radio voice required, and does the same level of research as many authors would. Unfortunately most of his stuff is only available to SA members. In fact because of this, the only two games that I know he's reviewed are Jurassic Park Trespasser, and Crimson Skies. But like I said, they are the best I have ever seen.

A bit of an unknown YouTuber, "The Nostalgic Gamer" has nearly finished a documentary series of RARE Ltd.'s establishment throughout each game they've developed & produced. It's very well informed & well structured. He managed to span from the company's inception to Donkey Kong 64 with 2 hours & 52 minutes of content & no filler.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ytaiPBUuYI&list=PLE4B9EBBDFBBE5D46

Sadly that was over a year ago & he's been pretty silent on the next entry in the series. Right when he was getting close to RARE's acquisition by Micro$oft & the most controversial period of the company's existence. I'm sure he could easily whip up a few more videos to give the series closure, considering how open that final chapter is to the public, but I think he'd rather tell the people what they don't know. Doing otherwise would just be an easy cop-out.

He has some other well-informed retrospective series' on other game franchises too. Quite a diverse selection on the choices he made too.

Yeah, that isn't a bad show. Although he has sequences where he shows up in front of the camera what he says about the games is usually very good.

The last time I watched him he had made a video about the Sony Ascii Sphere controller.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9vV0bX5ZAA

Despite how he acts on camera this is the ONLY video of this thing that exists online. He seems to make videos about stuff that others don't make videos on. Yes, he makes shit videos once in a while but when he does something like this it's pretty good.

seriously its not that bad I've played the arcade original on a cab, have emulated it in daphne and played the DVD version. It's not a mess its just that there is nothing there. Its very hard to know whats coming up as a fresh player but very possible. I've cleared a couple screens on first attempts. I'm not trying to defend the gameplay either because there is nothing to defend its just games can be entertaining for other reasons. Dragons Lair was fun because the scenes looked nice, daphne was a babe, dirk had a cool death animation. Plus most of them are set to have the cues on screen to help you so its not that hard its just fun to watch and its kind of intense having to have good timing.

the second game is the same type of game though he was just taking a shot at FMV games. Which yes there are lots of shitty ones out there I know but games like Dragon's Lair 1 & 2 and Road Avenger are still good games for the genre. The gameplay isn't very involved but they are very entertaining. I feel it's a genre that gets a lot of flak from people who haven't even bothered to try it.

I liked Twin Perfect before their HD Collection spiel. It seems pretty unfair, at least to me, that they act as if the HD Collection is irrefutably impossible to enjoy. I've seen people new to the series get through it and still find the meanings/impact of 2 and 3 intact. Sure, it might not be the same exact way that Fungo and Rossetter (and many others) exactly experienced it all, but it's still a valid, working product. That is, on 360 anyway, as I played through it twice to check as well and it seemed okay. PS3 version appears to have far more serious problems (and remains unpatched? Not sure - but that's a more serious issue).

Also, it just plain bothers me how people act as if companies are majorly incompetent for not keeping their original game data. In Japan, this was incredibly common until recently. The same is true for many Western companies too. People just didn't factor in the idea that someone would eventually want to go back and play these things later. They were products made for "now" and not for preservation. Of course that's why Konami (and others) have had to start practically from scratch when making these newer versions.

If that is true, it shows a how careless the companies were. Early in the days when Donkey Kong was produced, it was released on multiple consoles. To this day, it is still produced and various devices. How any company in the 90s didn't think about saving their work is ridiculous.

It's a bit much to expect professionalism from youtube considering
-It costs nothing to publish and host a video there.
-Making money from your video is as easy as checking a box.
-The subject of retro games only requires triggering nostalgia rather than making new content.

I watched a little of the generation 16 posted earlier in this thread. I like that he's basically cataloging every genesis game in release order and providing video footage of the game mechanics. But I think the youtube format isn't quite right for what he's doing since all the games are grouped into episodes making it hard to reference individual titles. And sometimes he talks over the gameplay footage when providing an opinion of a game.

I would recommend segagagadomain.com as a similar kind of reference for Saturn games. It's some Japanese guy with a large collection who provides video of the intro and opening gameplay of every one of his Saturn games. He also writes opinionated descriptions of each game and talks about how terrible non-Japanese games are, but these are separate from the gameplay videos and can be completely ignored. He also covers Sega hardware other than Saturn, though the rest of his collection isn't as complete and he doesn't always provide video.

I actually kind of like Video Game Years, the production value is staggeringly high for a web show. Seems like something that would have been a first-wave G4 show. Certainly some of the people on it are try-hard master rusemen, but I think it's good a show like that can exist amoungst the cesspool of other retrospective pieces narrated by Geoff Keighley or that asshole that does all of GT's shit.

Ancient DOS Games is a series covering both obscure and well known DOS games. It used to be exclusive to http://www.pixelships.com but has recently started to migrate to Youtube where old episodes are still being uploaded. Check the website for all of the 125 episodes.

The videos themselves go pretty in-depth about every aspect of the game, and even mention the best DOSBox settings to use.
