Retro Mecha Games

[Anonymous No.957912]

Any good Run & Gun mech games? Polygon or sprite. Customization is a plus, but fast paced action is a bigger plus.

[Anonymous No.957919]

Gungriffon came up in the Saturn thread, thinking about giving that a go.

[Anonymous No.957934]

Mechwarrior comes to mind but I like Armored Core better

[Anonymous No.957937]

Gungriffon Blaze is fun

Also- Front Mission Gun Hazard, Assault Suits Valken

[Anonymous No.957957]

Future Cop LAPD is good times.

[Anonymous No.958006]

I've come across some interesting games browsing the jp PSN store, like Project Gaiaray. Kind of a fake Virtual ON

And Beltlogger 9

Then there's that Ghost in the Shell game for the playstation, but I don't think I ever beat the first level of that.

[Anonymous No.958389]

>>958041
I only got up to level 3

It fun, solidly designed, but brutally hard.

[Anonymous No.958395]

It's 2013 and I'm still coming up with new shit to do with the PS1 armored core games.

pic related, this rifle is a rape factory

[Anonymous No.958620]

Mandatory.
It's a direct port of the Playstation ver (which never got released here) Plus aditional content.
Pretty much the definitive version.

[Anonymous No.958656]

Assault Suits Valken/Cybernator is my personal favorite due to the controls and action. You really feel like you're in a giant robot.

[Legion of Anon No.958665]

Metal fucking Warriors. No contest.

And while it's not really 'run and gun', I can't help but throw in a shout-out to Cyborg Justice, if only for the ridiculous customization that game offers.

Battletech for the Genesis is another good one.

[Anonymous No.958685]

This was one of the first game I ever played. I have yet to find a playable version since then 90s. Most threads on /v/ mention mechwarrior or mechassault but i never see a mention of earthseige. also Master of Arena was my first AC and it was fun as hell. I thought the controls were great for a shooting game on consols pre-halo.

Is that the one where you play both sides of a war between Humans and Cybrids? I watched a friend of mine play one level of that, but yeah...everytime I have free time, I never remember that game.

>>958395
I would always use the KARASAWA rifle and use all of my extra slots to try and get extra ammo for it, at least with local multiplayer with my brother.

[Anonymous No.958706]

>>958696
i dont remember the story too well cuz i was young when i played it. i do remember a super computer being the final boss though. the mechs are very customizable like in AC but they move a lot slower. there were even some flying/jet options that were fun to use with a joystick. why dont games use joysticks anymore? :(

[Anonymous No.958761]

>>958685

Are you my nigga

Because it certainly appears so

[Anonymous No.958774]

>>958761
any idea where i can play a working version of this? i havent played it since the CD ROM was no longer supported by my OS, i think it was Windows XP where the compatibility stopped working.

[Anonymous No.958783]

howza 'bout sum Ranger X?

[Anonymous No.958857]

>>957957
B)

My friend likes this game.

[Anonymous No.958891]

>>958395
I love to make themed mechs in AC. I still have a memory card with Spiderman (with the WA-Finger spread shot to look like web shooting), Space Ghost (all energy weapons), ED-209, an AT-ST, all sorts of shit. And I put custom emblems on them too, like the logo of the Empire or the OCP logo.

[Anonymous No.959748]

>WA-Finger

OMG that was such a broken powerhouse

[Anonymous No.959769]

The Yuke's-made VOTOMS PS2 game.

>>959748
Oh, they made sure to ruin it in Master of Arena, with its BROKEN RADAR IN VERSUS MODE and SHITTY MISSIONS and TRASH EQUIPMENT.

Alas, all of my memory cards died, or were stolen, and I can't stand playing Armored Core anymore because (1) I remember every part of ever mission as soon as I play any and (2) FROM ruined the series by turning it into Murakumo Gaiden.

>>959773
the hell does it have a Decepticon symbol for part of its body?

[Anonymous No.959784]

>>959776
Custom insignia. What, you didn't know you could do this? I used to make custom hood art for people in Rage Racer, and AC emblems (both Armored Core and Animal Crossing, of course).

[Anonymous No.959785]

>>959784
I haven't ever played the game, so no. Cool though.

[Anonymous No.959792]

>>958665
Fun Fact: Metal Warriors is a Lucas Arts game that uses the assault suits Valken/Cybernator engine.

[Anonymous No.959797]

>>959784

The custom emblem thing always taunted me. Would have loved to do something decent in it for once, since I always thought that was a REALLY cool feature they stuck in there. Sadly, can't art for shit, so it would always end up as crappy lines and crosses and little else. Still, that's pretty rad. Got any other samples?

[Anonymous No.959801]

>>958891
Fun fact: Spiderman had a TV show in Japan in the '70s in which he piloted a giant mech called Leopardon to fight giant alien monsters.

[Anonymous No.959810]

>>959797
Not since all my memory cards died or were stolen. Emblems take up an entire save slot for each one, if I recall correctly.

It's not hard to do, really. Just work slowly. Antialiasing is pretty simple. Just put average colors between the corners of aliased lines. Eh, if I bother to play AC again for the sake of Youtube, I may make a video of doodling an emblem.

The problem with AC is as it always was. It's usually one person who does all the missions and gets all the equipment. Everyone else gets their shit pushed in in arena mode.

Hah, I just happened to have a text file with the parts and colors. Keep in mind, I do (did) have all of the Human+ enhancements from Armored Core 1, which make this build work. Otherwise it's like a brick with an anchor.
