Let's add to this. In addition to loving Mystic Quest, I'm also all-in on Barbie on the NES. That one I did play as a kid, as it was the only new game in the house at the time. To be clear: it's a terrible, terrible game.

No, you don't understand. The operative word is love.

It's just such an insane take on a revered franchise. Rock music, pratfalls, talking to the camera, awful humor. And on top of that, some genuinely good things: every enemy has damage phases for their sprites, parallax backgrounds in fights, and a really smooth difficulty curve.

I do not think Metal Gear Solid or Ocarina of Time are overrated and I like SMB3 and SMW both. I also think that, while the visuals were the most publicized feature, Donkey Kong Country was a fine, well designed game overall. I'm a fan of Earthworm Jim and games with a focus on presentation outweighting the (competent) gameplay in general. Lastly, I don't believe the visualization of retro games through CRT displays or even the original hardware is integral to the experience, and I'm able to enjoy them to the very same extent using emulators.

I could almost see your point if we're talking like simcity 1 vs simcity 4000, where it's literally supposed to be an upgraded version instead of its own game. but your point makes no sense whatsoever with something like Resident Evil or Metal Gear Solid. my god. and the crazy thing is?

look I've been shit on for this before, I recognise that the average /vr/ poster considers my opinion "bad taste" that's why I posted it here.

but to me it's like being offered a slice of bread when you know sandwiches exist. i'm not saying, for example, Mega Man 1 is a bad game. a slice of bread is healthy. just that if I have the choice to play both 1 or 10 (eg eat slice of bread or sandwich) I'd pick the sandwich (10) every time. it just seems logical to me

fucking how? let's assume mega man 10 is the best in the series. mechanically, it is identical to 1 and 2. the only difference is the levels, bosses, and music. even if the levels are a little better, how the fuck is it comparable to the difference between a slice of bread and full sandwich? it's more like a sandwich vs a sandwich with a different type of cheese and a different sauce. but overall they're two pretty similar sandwiches.
and we're still assuming the later game is better. what about in instances where the latest game is worse than previous games?

right, my point is if one is better that doesn't mean the other isn't worth eating. even if you prefer sausage, egg, and cheese to a BLT that doesn't mean you won't enjoy a BLT (assumign you like BLT)
>can you name some?
If Mega Man 9 and 10 had never been made, would you consider Mega Man 8 the best in the series?
>they have better music and graphics
you're conflating graphical fidelity and level of technology confused with quality. I mean, Mega Man 7 and 8 use higher tech graphics and sound/music than 10, and yet you consider 10 the best in the series. I agree 10 is better than both of them, and it has nothing to do with the order in which they were released.

I know that, what I am saying is, given the option of both, why would you ever pick the inferior one?
let's assume you like sausage, egg and cheese to a BLT. why would you ever eat BLT if you can always make both?

>f Mega Man 9 and 10 had never been made, would you consider Mega Man 8 the best in the series?
well can we pick another franchise. this is my own fault for bringing up Mega Man but I havent played 8. I did 1,2 and 3, gave up, then a friend convinced me to try 9. I did and then played 10 after it came out. so I have no desire to go back and play the mega mans between 3 and 9 because they must be worse

>Mega Man 7 and 8 use higher tech graphics and sound/music than 10
higher tech doesn't always equal better though. it's like how Cuphead looks better than a lot of 3d games, but the animation style is much older

would you want to eat nothing but your favorite food? think of your favorite game of all time. think of your favorite level of your favorite game of all time. would you prefer to just only play on that level and never play on any of the other levels?
>they must be worse
how?
>higher tech doesn't always equal better though. it's like how Cuphead looks better than a lot of 3d games, but the animation style is much older
that was exactly my point..
but if Mega Man 9 and 10 never came out you'd be saying 8 is better even though 1 and 2 hav ethe same graphics/sound as 9/10
>well can we pick another franchise
Doom and Doom 2 are better than Doom 3
Starcraft is better than Starcraft II
Zelda is better than Zelda II
Yoshi's Island is better than Yoshi's Story
Smash 64 is better than Smash 4

no, but i just play games from other franchises. there's no need for me to play older games in the same franchise

they wouldn't need to make 9 and 10 if the others were so great

wrong. it's the same style, yes, but there are significant improvements in quality

don't agree with these. not to go too deeply into it but in some way they all expanded or improved upon their predecessor with gameplay elements, controls or graphics

have not played any starcraft, and only played DGVIII when it came out (didn't like it much and never finished it so not bothering with that series any more) and DOOM(2016) so can't comment on those

Nope, I swear to God that I haven't tried playing a new game in the past 3 or 4 years. The last game I spent money on was Mass Effect and I maybe played that game for 2 hours before quitting.

If I played a game as a kid and liked it back then I'll still play the shit out of it. I've beaten SMB3 more times that I can count, but I would definitely choose to play that over SMW since I never played the latter as a kid.

Doom 1 and 2 are boring and it feels like I'm sleepwalking through them when I try to play them now. Duke Nukem 3D and Quake are much better.

Fallout 1 is a short and horribly unbalanced mess of a game with "great" writing that consists of infodumps like you're reading a Wikipedia article about the places or something. Fallout 2's humor and general gameplay improvements make it better than 1.

Parts of Daikatana are legitimately great.

Earthbound is not funny, its "craziness" is only wacky if you've never seen a cartoon in your life, and the game wears out its welcome too quickly.

Sorry you didn't like Earthbound, but the game doesn't live and die by how funny it is. It's more about the clash between the bizarre with mundane, childish yet pleasing and clean aesthetics, amazing sound design, and comfy streamlining of the Dragon Quest style formula with rolling HP, auto-win and enemy flight when overleveled. Actually, go fuck yourself. There's no point explaining this. Only shitheads hate Earthbound and that's always been my experience.

B) Have them regularly (say biweekly) post a thread for discussion of inclusions
C) Create a system to vote on those inclusions - strawpoll yea or nay, 60% yea gets in, for example

So as you see, it's a lot of work for one anon, but given how long lasting the general threads are here, entirely doable.

Most Nintendo Classics, although I have played a mario land 2 six golden coins and Kirby's Dreamland I do not feel the need to play any other game in series.

Nintendo games are mostly pretty good but they are a tad overrated since they were the childhood to a lot of people since, of course, they got the games that were heavily advertised the most in general.
Kirby's Dreamland is particularly babby, though. That series is unusually easy even for Nintendo, you definitely started with a bad one.
Did you grow up with 5th gen games? There are many like you here.
Anyway: by far, the best average old school game (around 3-4th console gens) is found in the arcades. If you don't credit feed / savescum when you can and get used to them you'll find this to be true. I could go on but I don't want this to be too long.

Mega Man X5 is my favorite X game. I don't mind the RNG since it shakes things up and adds some unpredictability and I don't mind Alia since I can just mash through her.

I love Mega Man 8, largely for the visuals and music.

Late 90s/turn of the century Capcom is my favorite era of any developer, not in spite of but largely because of how flawed a lot of the games are; it seemed like all of their games were trying to reach for something and though they couldn't quite manage something well-rounded and perfect, they had still clearly reached far into unknown territory to make something great in at least one way. I also love the bright, round, and cartoony art styles that flourished in them around that time, but a lot of that is nostalgia.

Speaking of, that's what makes 5th gen gaming so great in general. It's true that gaming wasn't ready for 3D yet and it was perfected in the 6th, but that's it's charm; like a demo tape that's a lot more unprofessional than the LP but heavier, more aggressive, and more from-the-heart.

I'm one of the people who often argues that the purpose of this board is to discuss a particular period in gaming history, that is, the period that's characterized by being pre-internet (on a wide scale), although I have to admit that even under that characterization, 6th gen would fit the board, or at least some of it would. 7th gen is where the hallmarks of modern internet-connected gaming really became ingrained, and the iPhone also launched around the start of 7th gen, so putting the dividing line at 6th/7th might make more sense than putting it at 5th/6th.

Or you could be one of the people who says that everything 15+ years old is retro and this type of discussion is irrelevant to you. I just want to point out that there are ways of conceiving the word "retro" beyond just "everything that's old enough".

OK. I think metal slug and garou are the greatest neogeo games ever made. I call beat em ups belt scrollers and shoot em ups shumpse. I also have a raging hard on for anything treasure or konami. Hideo kojima is god with four eyes and castlevania is the greatest game series ever made! Did i... win yet, i can go on?

Same. I also dislike the trampolines. I don't like the general physics that much but this is a personal preference and something I can get used to; the other stuff I mentioned truly feels unpolished, though.
For the record, I probably enjoy the Genesis Sonic games even less.

I find Doom stressful and unenjoyable. It is all about wall-spamming and hunting for that last armor bonus you keep missing. Add all the mazes, linedefs permanently sealing off areas, broken secrets that don't even exist in the level

Heretic is Doom with bullet sponges, while Hexen is unconventional and tried to reinvent the wheel. They did that a bit, but the entire thing comes off as entirely frustrating due to the nonstop respawning enemies and the entire game playing off as a button hunt. Add to the fact the world is still maze-like, it is pretty much a living hell for me.

Duke Nukem was better, but still had many mazes that made it boring. Plus mouselook, which sucked because everything was 2d, which means enemies can fly directly above you and be impossible to see. The only appeal for the game I can see are tits.

Dark Forces is maze after maze in lengthy gauntlets. The sewer level alone shows how shitty that game is.

FPS games only started getting good with Quake and went to shit after Unreal in 1998. FPS games are the only fun games. There are only 2 years of quality games (1996 just having Quake) out there, everything else is a sea of shit.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jan 31 16:33:21 2018 No.4557903 >>4557891 I'm pretty sure you haven't really tried some cool old genres. Sure, FPS had a fast decline with stuff like Half Life and on (Halo...), but I truly feel you haven't been out of your comfort zone that much. Correct me if I'm wrong tho.

I agree that the Hammer Bros are kinda cheap and very frustrating to die to, but I like their inclusion. They're pretty much the only enemy that poses a threat in SMB1 once you're decent at the game. Adds a little tension to what would otherwise be a pretty straightforward and easy game to beat

I'm with you on the trampolines though. SMW's trampolines were much better.

No you assholes, that's the point of retro gaming. You don't need recommendations. You see something interesting? Fucking play it. You don't need
>MUH TOP TEN GREATEST RETRO GAMES OF ALL TIME xD
Look into genres you enjoy and then look for games and play them. Don't like it? Move on. There's more where that came from.
Fucking hell, you people are the worst.

There are hundreds of games that are overlooked, GOOD games mind you, because shitters like you refuse to experiment.

I hate a lot of mechanics in older games
Remakes are better most of the time
PC-98 had an amazing aesthetic but should stay there
A lot of interesting ideas are in retro games but execution is wildly varying
Gameplay absolutely ages, RPGs tend to suffer the most but a lot of platformers and some shooters aged very well
Panzer Dragoon needs to come back
