triforce
This board is for the discussion of classic, or "retro" games, including consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games. Retro gaming means platforms launched in 2001 and earlier, and official game titles for those platforms released no later than December 2007 (homebrew console games made after this date will be permitted). The Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, and Sony PlayStation 2 will now be considered "retro".

>make the people believe that OoT was actually based on Leonardo DiCaprio or Eminem -- ridiculous notions, to say the least
This is all Kevin Sorbo's fault. He will fucking burn. OoT Link was based on Fabio, that much is obvious. The similarities are uncanny, and Kevin Sorbo can deceive the people no longer. Seek the truth. Seek Fabio.

Gta-vice-city-ft
This game is fucking shit. It plays like ass, even worse than the previous 3rd game. Half of the mechanics are obscure as shit or are so half-baked they barely even work half the time.
Game also looks ugly as shit (fucking pictures of houses stretched across boxes on the second island, even gta 3 didn't have the audacity to do that) and the story is some ESL ripoff of Scarface and Miami Vice. The only thing that's reedemable about the game is the soundtrack but that is just because Rockstar just licensed a bunch of "BEST HITS OF THE 80s" albums, which is not an achievement.

Was "babby's first openworld game" really that strong to have retards hold this shit in high regard?

Super_Mario_World_Coverart
So after turning 33 I promised myself to finally 100% this, no save states and no abusing cape. Got all 96 exits the other day. So I wanted to share my thoughts in, you guessed it, a shitty blog post.
It's a great game, but I don't think it's the best game ever. While I liked it a lot, I've always felt a slight disappointment when playing it. It's hard to pinpoint why, but there's enough flaws here and there.
I think Nintendo kind of shot themselves in the leg with all the new mechanics. They are all interesting, but they are either hard to use, gimmicky or just plain broken, so it never feels like they utilized them to full extent. Spin jump is cool, but I guess many never used it, and it's not required per se almost ever. Cape is both fun and stupidly OP, it was probably impossible to balance the game with it in mind. Yoshi feels more like an afterthought in the game.
The save function is good, but too bare bones. The dragon coins feel like a good premise for a collectathon, but they aren't saved and getting them in one go is a chore. Getting lives feels pointless too as they reset every time you turn off the game.
On the other hand, all the cool stuff from Super Mario Bros 3 is gone. Map items? Cool suits? Bonus levels? Cool map objects? All of these were removed, making the game feel somehow like a downgrade.
The levels are huge but half empty. Mario just feels too small. The first few worlds are definitely cool, but around the mystery woods and chocolate island it starts feeling like a chore.
Perhaps my biggest gripe had always been the physics—they just don't feel right. I've beaten the game, yet I still had trouble landing on small platforms. Then I turned on SMB3 and the control felt so much more precise and fluid. How? No idea.
All in all, it's a weird case where the game makes a few steps forward compared to SMB3, but then takes a few steps back. While a great game, I can't help but feel something's missing here.

Kung Fu NES
So this started as an arcade game based on a Jackie Chan movie although only very loosely and it was probably an existing beat em up Irem already had and slapped the license on. The Famicom port was supposed to be the first Irem game on the system but Nintendo insisted on doing the port themselves for some reason so 10 Yard Fight ended up as Irem's FC debut. There was a later second printing as just Kung Fu after they lost the Spartan X license; that cartridge is rare and kind of a collector's item. Like a lot of the early NES/FC titles it's fun for about 20 minutes of gameplay but you can't exactly fit much content in 40k of ROM. An entertaining fact about Spartan X/Kung Fu is that it was the first NES/FC game to feature the familiar plot of a group of baddies kidnapping your girlfriend and you have to rescue her. There are a few home computer ports of Spartan X as well (as Kung Fu Master so they didn't have to pay for the license) but you really don't want to play those.

There was also an urban myth with this game that if you beat it 8x in a row Sylvia was revealed as a baddie and you had to fight a boss battle with her; bunch of nonsense peddled by Japanese gaming magazines.

Retro Game Accessories
20240510_185608
Can you spot the fake?

I bought 1 PS2 controller from DK Oldies (just to try the site out for myself). 2 PS2 controllers from gamestop's website. And 1 controller I bought around 12 years ago in store.

DK Oldies lived up to the reputation being a fake OEM controller and it was the most expensive. The 2 gamestop controllers were sticky/dirty (I don't know how long they were in storage) but honestly they are original, they work, and were just $15 a controller. Though I'm unsure if they just have a pile of real and knock off controllers and I just got lucky, gamestop's site never said original controllers and I wouldn't be surprised.

Anyway here is a thread for hardware/accessories you bought.

Why do so many people recommend Trinitron when 98% of them are composite only? It's rare to even find one that supports S-video let alone component, and all the ones that have these better connections are the newer flat-screen and wide-screen variants.

I just want a 18-22 inch curved screen with component, good geometry, and minimal overscan, is that too much to ask? Am I really going to have to RGB mod one of these composite TVs or go with a PVM?

Jak & Daxter was originally a 3D open world Crash Bandicoot game. Sandover Village could have been filled with a friendly version of the natives from Crash 1. Jak spins like Crash. Eco power-ups could have been masks. Keira is a young female mechanic who builds large devices and vehicles for Jak, just like Coco Bandicoot does for Crash.

Ghostbusters NES
What happens when a magazine publisher and the geniuses at Bits Laboratory get together? One of the worst NES games, but we got the cleaned-up edition with bug fixes. The Famicom version is worse than that even. It's so fun being on a time limit to capture ghosts so when you run out of time you fail the mission and of course the pic related ending part which necessitates you climbing several flights of stairs by tapping A over and over and over (better get a turbo controller for this one).

If you do manage to beat the game and your head doesn't explode from hearing the Ghostbusters theme song looping over and over for an hour, your reward is staring at a black screen for two minutes as there's a bug that prevents the credits from being shown (fixed in the NES version). There's also a couple glitches in the buy equipment screen that were removed from the NES version, some of which can be used to your advantage. This is truly ultimate kusoge.

Zelda 2 missing key glitch
zelda2_lostkey
I was replaying Zelda 2 and wanted to try to collect keys as much as I can in Second Quest. If you don't have any keys, you can bypass locked doors if you transform into a faerie. To get as much keys as possible, I have to get the Magic Key before collecting any keys. Then I revisited the palaces to collect keys and found there was a missing key in the first palace. It's the key in a room with a statue where you can get a red potion. If you take the potion then leave the screen, the key is lost when you return. I have wasted a few hours because of this glitch. I'm not the only one who suffer this.

Pokémon Remakes
balls
So, how do you like them? Good, bad, decent, unplayable?
I was surprised by picrel - the Pokemon Yellow remakes are very interesting. They feel very nostalgic/remake-y without being the same game with new graphics.
Capturing wild pokemons in the PkmnGo style instead of battling them was shocking for me at first, but feels wonderful after a few hours of gameplay. Battles are rarer, so they feel a bit more special and not just a chore.
Thoughts?

King's Field
kings-field-usa-coverart
I give up. I really enjoyed the first KF but this has just been painful all the way. The game lags constantly even when there is nothing going on, the map goes in every direction and all the different textures and motifs are used and re-used randomly which doesn't help get your bearings, the maps they provide barely help. The level design really feels like it was someone's first Doom map from 1994 except x20 in size. I am now lvl 26, have about 4 key items I have no idea what to do with, and I feel like I've been everywhere except for ONE place I remember that ***might*** be where to use some of those key items but I can't even find it anymore. There is no way I can continue unless I cling to a guide.

My question is, are KF3 and Shadow Tower like this too? Lag and messy level design ? KF1 was fine, idk what happened here.

2207751-box_pikmin2
These games can be shockingly difficult, especially 2 is basically impossible without savescumming/resetting your console a million times. This and some early Zelda and Mario shows me that Miyamoto actually likes difficulty and it's way more Nintendo's fault that so many Nintnedo games are babby tier

Like, why the fuck did they give Pikmin 4 AUTO AIM, a million items that are basically free and busted af rewind? IIRC even 3 already had some of that. One explanation I guess is that Miyamoto's interests took a back seat. For all the things people give him crap for (usually without much evidence), I don't think it's fair to say he's a reason for the babby difficulty in many games even if he sometimes says in interviews that he just wants a comfy experience for everyone


2 is an amazing game anyway

GIUGhY8WwAAbV1X
You ever feel as though kirby isn't appreciated as much any other ip? Sure there are fans but it just gets marked as kiddy crap in comparison to Zelda or Mario.

>great hummable ost in every title
>unique and imaginative artstyle
it's nearly impossible to come up with an oc that matches 1-1
>odd settings
>interesting lore
>final bosses honestly inspire a sense of dread
unlike any other platformer

I just don't understand why it gets written off in comparison to the others.
Honestly the anime didn't do the series any favors (saw it subbed and not that trash dub), he was never portrayed as infantile beforehand, just a simple fellow who ate when he was hungry and slept when he was tired.

Was the Xbox the successor of the Dreamcast?

>OG Xbox was an upgraded version of the BlackBelt (Sega of America) Dreamcast Prototype (lost to Sega of Japan's Katana console which went on to become the dreamcast, even though it was slower, harder to develop for and would cost more)

>MS insisted on replacing the PowerPC 604e with an x86 chip (for obvious reasons, MS was an Intel shop) and 3Dfx was gone by then, but the engineers all worked for nVidia so that sorted the GPU, otherwise the OS was very different (BlackBelt not actually having an OS, everything was coded to the hardware)

>Later after lessons learned with the OG Xbox, MS decided to go back to the original PPC idea (but a far newer chip) and moved to ATi/AMD for graphics as nVidia royally screwed them (issues relating to die shrinks and asic integration)

>Xbox division was headed up by former Sega of America personnel, including their head, Peter Moore.

>Xbox IS the continuation of SEGA (of America)

donkey kong country 3
dkc 3's haters are full of shit. the game is far from being even bad
played it years ago and had lot of fun, the stages were unique (just like previous dkcs) but so were the bosses, way more challenging, and the bonus stages, way more fun. the extras were very cool, not only there was your typical extra world (and a hard one) but also there were these things called banana birds, all super fresh and cool. Collecting them all felt solemn
now I'm play the gba because I wanted to hear the new music, and fuck, it even has more mini-games and stuff than the snes version!!
both are gorgeous game, they offer more replayability, challenge, and aren't linear

there is literally nothing bad with this game. it is childish compared to the serious ones? perhaps, and it's also more fun, lively and charmful. that doesn't mean it doesn't have creepy, dark, majestic things

Hey this 2023 optimized version loads pretty quickly. Not bad at all. It's some sort of Windows CE optimization with some tweaks for GDemu, feel free to try it yourself. Runs a little better and loads much faster but some geometry becomes flickery/weird.

Is collecting physical PC games from the 98-XP era a worthwhile pursuit or is it too much work? I have a lot of nostalgia for games of this era but I imagine with keycodes and anti-piracy as well as trying to get an old OS running properly it would be a lot of trouble for someone like me (a retard). Is that true?

I have a 1.0 Xbox and I'm really surprised that the HDD hasn't shit itself on me yet. I'd like to mod in a new SATA HDD or maybe even an SSD but I'm not looking to fully mod my Xbox
I want to keep it as close as I can to working stock. This means original dash and still popping in my dvds when I want to play
I'm probably going to end up recapping it and cleaning up the dvd tray anyway but I was wondering what the best way to clone a new drive in would be
It would be really nice if I could keep my old profile and saves but I'm willing to lose them if it means the console will work for another 10 years
Also, should I go with an HDD for authenticity or upgrade to an SSD for longevity?

I've been playing though about 850 super nintendo roms lately, only US and EU ones, no JP. I really like the snes, i had one in the 90s and it was great. But after playing heaps of games lately that I'd never played before like at least 80% of the library is shit. I skipped almost all the sports games though, of which there's probably about 200+ of them. But there's so many boring or crap platformers and shooters. Most of the beat em ups and rpgs are crap too.

The only "hidden gems" i found really were Air Strike Patrol, Brain Lord, Brawl Brothers, Hagane, Lethal Weapon and Twisted Tales of Spike McFang. About 10% of the library is some of the best games ever (Chrono Trigger, Super Metroid, LttP, you know the ones, there's maybe like 40 of them) then the rest is mostly junk. Maybe I would like them more if I was 12 again or something, i don't know. Are there any hidden hidden gems I'm missing? Any clandestine gems or top secret gems? Maybe I should try some translated JP snes games next.

MAME sucks fucking ASS
mame
Why is this program so shit?

Let's talk about something basic, light guns. These are pretty simple, you point at your screen, that's where your mouse cursor is.

Now, MAME's light gun "interpretation"? It doesn't take into account aspect ratio. And practically every fucking game in MAME is 4:3. So if you try and play these games on a 16:9 monitor, the cursor doesn't line up. It takes the whole width of your monitor as the whole width of the in-game screen, so I can be pointing in the black but the MAME cursor is still right over the game. Vertical is fine, because the in-game view matches the size of the monitor.

I've tested maybe a dozen emulators. Only MAME and M2 emulator fail a basic sanity test so far, and all the M2 games are easy to recalibrate so the offset doesn't matter. This doesn't work in MAME. It would take literally 5 seconds for one of these guys to implement a "playing 4:3 on 16:9?" adjustment offset. No, your gun needs this option built in. Why? Because MAME.

From what I can understand, fast disc speed can reduce load times but sometimes break certain games and speed up music, but does texture smoothing do anything besides apply gradients to everything in the game? And is this the same kind of smoothing you can enable with PS3 BC?
Anyone know any other tidbits or side effects of this feature, or know of any games that really benefit from it?
