/vr/ - Retro Games

Same here, but I've been away for a bit. How is it these days? Still the best board on 4chan by a country-mile?

I played it when it was first released so I probably see it in different terms to what later generations might.

It *was* groundbreaking btw. The scripting was totally industry-changing, by the time this was released, publishers realized it was the new benchmark and most games that didn't see how it blew everything out of the water just looked ridiculous after HL.
The on-the-fly loading of maps meant that levels could be much larger than previously.
CS also played a big part in how it took off. Quake already had a good mod community going, but HL took modding to the next level. It's the game that made Valve.
How can you say it was groundbreaking?

>best sense of 3-D
Same here, understatement time, it was mind-blowing back then on a level that I will never be able to experience again until I enter 4D quantum reality. I literally could not stop playing it when I got it. My bros would watch me, similarly enrapt. I still count it as my best game of all time, it's on par with a religious/spiritual experience.

Also, I've heard many opinions on what the best version is, but a lot of people tend to say the Amiga or Megadrive version.

exploration platformer with a puzzle element

it's hardly underrated, it's widely-known and well-loved on any given gaming forum/board. i've never met anyone who dislikes this game.

Okay seriously, stop derailing this dude's thread now.

You should have stopped wiith 'I played them because...'

You're only making it look more like you need to commit sudoku asap.

Are you looking for ultra-rare shit? Because PSX stuff is easy as fuck to find, it's as simple as '[game name] PSX ISO' in google

Started a new playthrough on Shining Force 1, haven't got very far though.

Oracle of Seasons, about mid-game in that.

Vagrant Story again.

SMAC, on and off. Scared to dedicate too much time to it because I'll stop playing and notice I missed a few birthdays.

Last Blade on the Wii VC (not really a progress-type game, just love playing that shit)

Kind of cheating here, but Tactics Ogre remake for PSP

Got my Dual Shock USB adapter recently so I should be getting through that retro (replay) backlog.

*DC thread meaning thread in which the topic of the DC is brought up

>>533073
I know they have, you must think this is the first DC thread I've been in.
The more people that try, the higher the likelihood of him doing something about it is.

>>533070
*meaning send an actual reply, he usually takes on board what you've said.

>>533042
He doesn't tend to respond, but he definitely reads my emails at least.

>(worthless I assume)
You assume wrong. Anyway I've just emailed him so hopefully we'll get something soon.

Tell them to go fuck themselves, retro discussion is not banned on /v/ because of /vr/'s existence. moot made clear as fuck when this board went up.
Sorry but I don't quite believe you, it's not the same as pokemon, I've seen plenty of retro discussion on /v/ since /vr/, no one ever said take it to /vr/.

But I agree with you on the DC. We need to get this shit resolved because that was a fucking legendary console and to piss on it now like this is not cool.

>>532829
Yeah, we're gonna have to get moot to sort this shit out once and for all. It'll have to be sorted out by next year anyway.
Anyway /v/ can't tell you to go to /vr/ so that's not quite true.

>>532804
Fuck that noise. It's okay on /vr/.

While you're at it, why not also upload your dosbox conf?
