/vr/ - Retro Games

Magnavox Odyssey maybe?

>>5202847
Literally everyone knows about this, thanks to faggot ecelebs like AVGN.

>>5202847
are you 12? heres an actually obscure console. RDI Halcyon

>>5202874
anyone here own one of these? worth it?

>>5202847
>this thread again with new kids who think SMB+Duck Hunt is rare
wew lads

>>5202946
Yes. Mine are. I picked them up for a few bucks each and now they're worth hundreds. An actual FM towns is much better if you actually want to play games.

>>5202946

They're not worth it at all other than to say you own it.

>>5202847

>>5202847
Technically a console because of Mega-LD

The Arcadia 2001

>Made by a radio company who wanted in on the video game craze
>About 35 games released over two years, all by only two companies
>Was such a pitiful failure that stores started giving them away https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qti75VyN4cA
>Only interesting note is that Bandai made some licensed games for it

>>5203036
I love that the Pippin had literally no video games. Nothing suits Apple better.

>>5203223
>>5203036
can you educate me a little?

>>5203172
oh shit sweet deal. Should've made it a 2600 clone as well. Love my gemini. It's like having an atari that was designed in the 80s.

>>5202847
>>5203036
When underages make their first /vr/ posts.

>>5203053
I used to want one of these bad as my ultimate novelty, but when you see the video-quality for the LDs, it's a turn-off.

>>5203424
>i'm so funny
kys

Amstrad Mega PC. I tried to convince my mum to buy one of these in 93. She was smart and got us a 486 DX4/66 a year later.

>>5203456
>Also in this year:
>In South Africa, 21 political parties approve a new constitution.
Worked out real well, didn't it?

>>5203491
I watched that e-celeb vid too.

Top marks to SB for entrepreneurship I must say. He clearly has the business chops to surpass Puffy and Dre in the long run.

The Net Yaroze, just so I can have the excuse to say I have one complete set.

>>5204128
Yet i bet you don't know the first thing about programing eh you bugman?

not anymore ahahahaha. suck it euros

>no game.com again

>>5204170

Not much, especially C, which is too cumbersome to bother with nowadays. The unit is worth for triggering jelly fags on /vr/, though.

>>5204184
>C is too hard
>Says he'll learn C++ because it's what all the best games are made in

lol

>>5204337
>can't into reading comprehension
>triggered
wew lad

>>5202847
It's most well-known titles were idol dating sims

>>5204346
You never met one of those kids that said stuff like
>I'm going to learn Japanese because I want to go live there and make games
>I'm going to learn C++ because all the best games are made in C++

etc

>>5202880
>Literally everyone knows about this, thanks to faggot ecelebs like AVGN.

Honestly a lot of people heard about it before Youtube was even a thing because of the bad Zelda games. I'd like to think OP is just trying to trigger /vr/.

>>5203475
go eat a bowl of fuck, you retard

What is /vr´s opinion on this guy?

>>5204128

I lost the memory card.

>>5204375
Personalized

>>5204436
Cuck sandwich with bastard sauce who can't play games for shit.

>>5203431
>but when you see the video-quality for the LDs, it's a turn-off
The quality of the games themselves should be turnoff, pleb

>>5204698
Well yeah, but if your system is gunna play Laserdiscs then you'd at least want LDs to look good.

>>5204128
So what's the access card for?

>>5203475
South Africa failed because of white people and drumpf

>>5203256
>Apple and Bandai team up to make a console
>Apple does no marketing and pushes it all onto Bandai
>Released the same time as the PS1 and N64
>Launch price was more than $600
>Less than 30 games in console's entire life with hardly any third-party support

>>5204382
I have. Bu't I've met just as many readingcomprehensionally challenged kids who sperg out about someone saying something they never said.

>>5202882
I wanna get one and play it on this

>>5204846
Problem, anon?

>>5204436
A feel bad for him. He doesn't even seem to like video games all that much but the views kept coming and people kept sending him shit so he couldn't really stop.

If you watch the Rental Reviews you can tell that he's a lot more enthusiastic and for once seems to know what he's talking about.

>>5204706
Good shit.

Obsure consoles:
Cassette Vision
Gakken TV Boy
Casio PV-1000
SG-1000 (to some)
Vectrex (slightly)
Hanimex HMG-7900
Fairchild Channel F
The Coleco Gemini (an Atari 2600 clone)

>>5202847
>controller is a gray gravis pad
Kek I never noticed this before

Super A'can. 16-bit console released only in Taiwan in 1995. It used similar hardware to the genesis with a better graphics chip. Only 12 games were released for it

>>5204748
I wish Samsung would still make consoles

>>5206847
that's pretty interesting

>>5202847

>>5204436
not /vr/ but he's one of the only youtubers that /v/ universally loves

>>5206847
Low Score Boy did an entire video of it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ycy861t9m_A

>>5204436
When did you first realize the AVGN character is based on Mike Matei?

Dat Don Quixote game though... with a fast forward and no loading times, I still might give a playthrough a try.

>>5204436
will always tower over anyone who complains about him here

>>5206621
>He doesn't even seem to like video games all that much but the views kept coming

Feel bad for Spoony lol

>>5202941
That is a rare one. What are the hidden gems on this bad boy? Don't at me bro, I'm only pretending to be retarded, but really wtf kinda games were even released on this thing.

>>5204706
Wasn't the first ever Dragon Ball game on this thing?

>>5204760
Ok, that's the reason why... Kek, because of white people...

>>5202941
Came here to post this

>>5203053
Managed to score one of these off a guy who was selling it as a DVD player for 40 bucks. Came with the Karaoke PAC as well.

>>5203053
Nah son, the Laseractive is now decently well known as a curiosity in gaming history thanks to YouTube memers.

Not too many people know that NEC made a version of it with their own branding in Japan due to a dispute with Pioneer.

>>5207707
Yeah, released after the 12th episode, because the ending is just Oolong wishing for a good pair of panties. Why the fuck do I remember this?

>>5204760
Some Black South Africans still adhere to a hunter-gatherer lifestyle.

>>5207702
Nothing was ever released. Not even the console.

>>5209057
True. They hunt Boere and "gather" their belongings.

>>5208967
No console is obscure then. If "memers" are what you think means known consoles.

Does anyone know what system this is? Some NK picture.

>>5209756
It quite clearly says Micro Genius.
There's even a wikipedia page for that brand of famiclone.

I use my CDi as CD player, just cause I can.
There's no good reason to buy a meme console other than picking it up for cheap.

>>5204436
Was 10/10 until avgn movie. Now its "meh" but still enjoyable to watch.

>>5210314
>meme
This word gets used wrongly so often I can't figure out in what context you even mean anymore.

>>5204180
I have a game.com
the only reason I have it is because some guy was selling it complete in box for 5 bux and that was wild

>>5209756
Anyone who can read the label knows

>>5202847
Everyone knows what a cdi is due to the terrible Zelda games...

Probably not retro, but i still wanted to mention Zeebo; it's such a weird machine... No one loved it, with the probable exception of proud, poor third worlders. Still, software houses like Electronic Arts, Activision, Namco, Capcom and id Software invested on it, due to its characteristics; the following videos are some game versions of famous titles, for the aforementioned Zeebo.

Quake

>>5210392
It's less retro than a wii fucktard

>>5210681
>probably not retro
>help i don't know how to read

>>5205207
You fuckd that one up huh Gilder

>>5210392

I'm a huefag and have one. It's pretty annoying to jailbreak it.

>>5210885
Why should you jailbreak that, though?

>>5210717
>probably not retro
>unquestionably not retro
>help i don't know how to read
Cool irony kiddo

>>5212132
thanks for the (you) daddy

>>5212174
not retro

>>5212750
It doesn't even exist you dumb nigger

>>5212789
that makes it even less retro then

>>5207720
I got one a few years ago for pretty cheap as well, but it wouldn't properly play any LDs, just kept ejecting them (worked with CDs though) and didn't come with any PACs (but it did come with the Pioneer-branded MD controller).

>>5210965

To add all the games that came out for it? There's a pretty alright version of double dragon.

now THIS is a rare console.

>>5213852
>rare
Not in this thread bozo
>>5212174

HAY GUISE AM I OBSCURE YET?

>>5208967
My laseractive exists to play tg16 games. My nec pvm exists to play tg16 games. The fact that I don't have a matching nec laseractive is going to eat at me now.

>>5204748
N501 was a better looking machine

Had a Vectrex back in hs, no pics.

>>5206621
>feel bad for him

The guy makes a living making videos for youtube and even got to achieve his dream of going to Hollywood to make his own movie. There's no reason to feel bad for him. He seems like a cool guy to hang out with and talk about music with too.

>>5202847
Have fun replacing the battery, boy.
