"/vr/ - Retro Games" is 4chan's imageboard for discussing retro console video games and classic arcade games.

↑↑↓↓←→←→ BA START

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".

Did you guys ever play heavily customized maps for RTS games, ones that made unique use of map triggers? Stuff like RPG maps and the like. I remember playing a grand theft auto map for brood war and it was a lot of fun but I can not find it for the life of me anymore.

Pre NES Thread #3

So some Anons peaked my interest with picrel, how's emulation for it? IIRC isn't it stuck on MAME or does it have a standalone emulator now?

I want to do the ultimate Gen 2 playthrough. Aside from tracking down an unopened box of Pokemon poptarts with the Pichu pencil-topper and giving myself an extreme case of food poisoning, what am I missing?
>Playing Crystal
>Trying to use Pokemon that I haven't really used in other playthroughs
>Playing in nip, so no localization changes
>Reading the Pokemon Special/Adventures manga while I play
>Watching the anime also
>Picked up a Pocket Pikachu Color for the IR features
>Picked up a Pokemon Mini and a few games for it. It's a gen 2 product.
>Pokemon Stadium Gold & Silver, but not until after I've cleared the main game.
>Will pick up a GB Printer and paper
>I have GS and the gen 1 games and will trade unobtainable Pokemon over the link cable as necessary
>Will go for a complete dex

What else is there if I want to do EVERYTHING? Obviously I can't do the online features in 2023, so unfortunately I will miss out on that part but it's ok.

I have a dumper and I'll be going back and forth between playing on read hardware, Mister, or my Retroid as necessary in order to use all of the features. For example I'll need the real GBC for the IR features, but that screen is shit so I'll probably just emulate it the rest of the time. If I need to use the link cable I can connect my GBC to the Mister for trades. Since I'm not bound to the original cartridge, this means I can hack in currently unobtainable stuff like the GS ball event (what's the best way to do that in 2023?)

Please help, anon.

Resident Evil Thread

Resident_Evil_2_DualShock_Ver_North_America

Finished the first game, now getting into the sequel, which character makes more sense to pick first? Is it worth it to complete the game 4 times to see both scenarios?
If it changes anything, started the first game as Chris and liked his route more than Jill's.

Also, what's up with Arrange mode? Is it some kind of an easy mode now, rather than what it was in RE:DC? Should I play a different version from the picrel for a proper master quest? It was good to have in the first game, I could see the other character's story without replaying the exact same thing.

The map music has been playing in my head the past few days. This game was better than FF7, but was more difficult so was silently overlooked. I still have half of the original guide I got from my Chinese friend Michael which is where I got the game as well. This game pops into my head at least monthly, I wish I could thank Michael, but lost contact. Anyways, did you play this game? What are some of your favorite moments and could you provide a picture of your favorite place in the game with your post? Mine is pretty much everything before Prince Albert. The soundtrack is great too, besides the battle music that I was forced to hear every 30 seconds. I posted this on /v/, but anon said I'd have better luck here.

/vr/ JRPGs that are actually hard? As in what people think of when you say JRPG not an action game that has some stat boosting but you can ultimatly avoid any given hit by being good at action games, not a tactics game that has no overworld exploration.

Stuff where if you do not plan and prepare right the combat will destroy you. Where you have to pick what to run from and when to retreat back to town? And your naviation skills are actually tested in dungeons.

I could never get into gen 2 pokemons. Now, of course this is hugely bound to personal biases. I am biased myself, I never played gen 1 / 2 for long, started with gen 3 and got sick of it with gen 4. However, I had a poster of gen 2 hanging in my room when I was a kid—yet I don't even recall half of it.
Gen 1 was just iconic to me. But most of gen 2 was just too weird. There were some iconic 'mons there too, like Marill / Togepi, or just cool / cute ones like Phanny. But the rest ranged from just a bit meh to "what the hell is that".
Cyndaquil evolutions looked almost same. Many 'mons looked extremely generic, like Ledyba, Hoppip, Yanma, Remoraid, Stantler and more. Then there were some ones that were just too weird, e.g. Wobbuffet, Girafarig, Miltank. Finally, there were added evolutions like Pichu, Steelix, Igglypuff etc., that felt like lazy recycling of older popular 'mons.
I don't want to say it was that bad, there was a few pokemons I liked from that gen, or at least was ambivalent about. And mind you, I'd still take this over nu-Pokemon. But it just felt like a quiet disappointment after gen 1, like a rushed followup with a bunch of gen 1 rejects / unused designs—almost like a B-side of an album compared to the singles.

In the original Zelda when Link stuns an enemy with one of his boomerangs, if he attacks as he's clipping into them and it's enough to finish them, Link will take damage. This is like the enemy in its deathroes getting one last lick in.

Empire-Earth-2 Empires

>Original devs making a spiritual sucessor with a different license vs new devs with the original license.

What are some examples of this and which game do you think comes at the top in those cases.

I can also think of Rogue Trip vs TW 2 and 3 , also Call to Power vs Alpha Centauri.

I like the empire planner in EE2 and building roads like in civilization, but combat feels pretty shit, also i hate how units are not very nation/period specific (you can make Rafale jets as the french in WW1), Empires trades the civ customization for a more Starcraft-like design, this is achieved by spreading the original EE shared unit pool across the new civs, so only the Russians can make snipers, Germans machine guns etc, this reduces the amount of options but i think its fine, combat feels pretty nice, what i don't like is how they nerfed artillery and that the university powers feel very cheap.

How did you react to Sonic 2's DBZ reference back in '92?

tr3

Got a fat PS3 with the entire PS1 and PS2 library to get my wife to play some of the classics. She has very little gaming experience (ignoring sims). Previously got her to play classic god of war 1-3 games, she eventually got used to controls and actually beat them without my help.

Now for PS1, I wanted her to start with TR3. She literally can't get past the first area, I mean literally the first area where you slide down. Is that retardation or did we have it so damn difficult back then but our autism helped us progress? I just can't see anything wrong with controls whereas she is simply unable to jump and grab while sliding, or avoid those spikes. What is happening?

Mortal Kombat II - Super Nintendo

D0345337-B00D-481B-808F-07B97A7B3351

One of the best home versions of Mortal Kombat II if not the absolute best of them all. Other than the Sega 32X version, this has to be the best home version.

I haven’t played the Sega Saturn or PS1 versions, but I heard those versions were not the best, but they are still kind of better than the Genesis version.

This and the 32X obviously trump the Genesis version of that, but yeah, Mortal Kombat II is a classic. Hard as fuck, but a classic nonetheless.

>OpenMW is a free, open source, and modern engine which re-implements and extends the 2002 Gamebryo engine
The OpenMW FAQ states
>Improved physics and AI
>Physics: Bullet
But the wiki doesn't mention any details about the changes made to physics nor AI, it doesn't compare them to the original version of the game or explains any gameplay changes because of it. Did you play Morrowind with this engine anon? What do you think of it compared to the original Morrowind release?

Obviously the Elder Scrolls series was huge by the time of the late 2000s, but what about 2002 when Morrowind released? Did TES have much of a following from the first two 2D games?

I notice on the internet that basically nobody talks about TES prior to Morrowind. It makes it seem like for most people they didn't even notice the series until this game came out.

Parasite_Eve_Coverart

Just played this game and it was fantastic. Thanks to duckstation you could make it almost look like a remaster with good models. Sadly the ending sequence didn't work so needed to watch it online. But damn was this a great game.

I heard the sequel is bad? I really hope we can see a proper remaster / remake of this game.

The sourceport works, save for some minor quirks, haven't had a single crash in the past two weeks, just a matter of time until actual multiplayer now.

Post pirated psx/ps2 games

mcdonalds and colonizing people and a few other crapholes didnt have much of those and had to pay alot for each game

Console_psx

Why is the PlayStation called the PSX today, when the N64 isn't called NUS or Ultra 64, and the Gamecube isn't called "the Dolphin"? The PlayStation had a code name of PS-X like a lot of other consoles did in development but this seems to be the only one people have a cult-like mentality for using after the console was given a real name. Oh and Sony released something actually called PSX later on so calling a PlayStation a PSX doesn't make any sense. pic related

Saturn CPU usage

hit_2

This was a time before devs were used to multicore programming, so I imagine a lot of games only ended up using one of the SH-2's. Aside from poor framerates, do we have definitive evidence of this for any games though?

The other side of Japan-only

PA.62685.001

People tend to focus on the platformers, RPGs, and general action games which never made it out if Japan, but have you delved into the less fetishized depths of Japan-only SFC/SNES games?
Pachinko/pachislot, horse racing sims, mahjong, baseball sims, and just other genres of games which Western audiences don't seem to give a shit about.
Basically, post any interesting or at the very least amusing SFC games which never came out of Japan, but aren't a platformer, RPG/strategy, shmup, or beat-em-up game.

Star Fox Assault

17687_front

Why do people pretend this is some sort of hidden gem? Only 3 slow rail levels and the rest is almost exclusively on foot shit. Yes, even with dual analog controls, they're just boring. It's obvious they were just added there to pad out the game, evident by them also being multiplayer levels.

The people that don't like it aren't just hating because it did something different. It's just not very good at what it tried to do. They should have just made more all range levels and tried to do something similar to Rogue Leader instead.

Sure, maybe there's some fun to be had with multiplayer, but it shouldn't have come at the expense of the rest of the game. And really, who's going to want to play this over like Halo or Battlefront, or any of the good multiplayer gamecube games.

It might not be the worst game in the series, but aside from Command or Zero, I'd honestly rather play any other game in the series.

The first-ever third party SNES game made, and it was a port of a Euro home computer game by fucking Kemco featuring a Mr. Wino lookalike MC. They got this out before Konami and Capcom released a SNES game. Just think about that.

Pronounciation general

Despite that, over the years, I learned the correct way to pronounce certain names, I still use the following and probably always will:

Caw-nie-may
Kuhwp-cawm
Tuh-aye-taw

This was a rip off.

Sm64 Release Candidate Footage Found

sm64

Got my clueless JP friend to send this to me, has no idea how important it is apparently. "Too close to release build" too close my ass this is still really cool, apparently a bug in the game was happening where the wrong background was loading on every level and area (debug screen and sm64 logo are areas in the games code)

What peripherals should I try? I have tried the guitar hero guitars and I liked them. Have used a racing wheel but it was bad I blame the brand. Other peripherals I have but not used are microphones for singstar and turn tables for modern systems and kinect. Also have some dance pads and guns. What should I get?

Hotel_Mario

One of the most shocking an unexpected moments in retro gaming was when Mario came to a Philips platform.

~~This game is not that bad.~~

I like this game but the action is worse than basically any 80s action side scroller, the management stuff is extremely basic, but somehow it remains a good time from beginning to end.

They did a lot with not very much. What a good game.

Y'know, from what I've seen of the remake, it's no perfect, and I'm done with remake after remake over new content.
That being said, I still hope this and SMRPG do well so that the Mario Mandate can fuck off for good.

An Anon recommended Shadowrun for Sega CD, but I can't seem to find any definitive translations, everything I found seems to say it's still in progress. Does /vr/ know of any translations that will at least let me get through the game?

There was an FPGA-based Sega Saturn mini shown off at Tokyo Game Show this week (not from Sega, and not for sale).

What do you think of game companies dabbling with FPGA? For example Sega could make a Saturn mini like this, or Nintendo could put an FPGA chip in their next console for running older games.

Why are there so many shit eaters in the retro gaming hobby? It seems like there are a particular clique of people who defend consoles that failed during their life. I can understand appreciating them for their historical value, but that doesn't mean they are worth playing. If they had good games they wouldn't have failed after all.
Are this shit eaters just hipsters that get a smug sense of superiority from liking things that other people don't like?
Sometimes you even see this sort of behavior from retards who defend obviously doomed retro gaming revivals projects like the atari vcs and intellevision amico

WrestleMania X8 for the GameCube was pretty fun but I didn't like that you could be knocked over by an opponent doing a move in your vicinity in multi-man matches. Made everything a clusterfuck when more than two wrestlers were nearby.

2502175_fifleo_sonic-2

I think it's been a while since we've had a thread dedicated to talking about one of the most iconic characters in video game history. I'll admit right now that I'm quite biased about it, grew up with a SEGA Mega Drive, or Genesis, if you prefer, and we had Sonic the Hedgehog, the original, I recall really wanting to play and own Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 back then, but it just didn't happen sadly... until years later I bought the Sonic Mega Collection on PS2, which had a stellar OST by the way, and got to play everything I missed out on as a kid, this is how I played through Sonic 3D Blast from start to finish for the 1st time aswell, which I wanted to do since playing a PC demo of it.

>How do you feel about Sonic the Hedgehog?
>What's your favorite title from the franchise?
>Are there any memories you treasure most?
>Do you prefer 2D Sonic or 3D Sonic gameplay?

I think I've already talked enough about how this franchise is special to me, I've probably gone and finished all of the Mega Drive, Master System or Game Gear, among other titles, often going for 100% aswell, and I've been loving it for years at this point. I'd say thay my favorite is still the 1st one, because it's the one I grew up with, so it is a biased choice for sure, and my most treasured memory is playing it with my whole family back then as a kid. I still prefer 2D Sonic overall, as his titles appeal to me more, but 3D Sonic to me has the most potential by far, it just hasn't ever been properly used, Sonic Adventure was probably the closest to doing so though.

Battlantis, a pretty cool Space Invaders style game where you defend a wall in an 80s fantasy setting. Enemies can climb up the wall and fuck you up.

Any other cool fixed shooters out there?
