>there were no good console Simpsons games
>>3260751
There were, but they aren't /vr/
>>3260754
Bart VS the World was actually pretty decent once you got gud. VS the Space Mutants was pretty damn bad though.
>>3260751
The arcade one alone makes up for the lack of good console games.
What does /vr/ think of the dreamcast game elysian shadows? Apparently they are working in a vmu emulator
>>3254586
It's giving he dreamcast homebrew scene a bad name.
Actual decent-looking DC games like Xenocider get passed up since everyone lumps all DC indie devs in with this faggot.
ITT: retro games only you hate.
It's a classic
Dunno what you could hate about it.

>Naming (when given the option) Yourself Only The Canonical Name Given To The Lead
This is just habit. I remember growing up where other kids used to think naming themselves a bad word was cool in games. I never got it personally. Why should I sacrifice a pivotal part of this character's idea to be crass? Isn't one of the best part of a game trying to achieve an immersive narrative feeling like you're in the shoes of the character driving the plot forward? Those are my questions. I could never name a character after myself. Cloud is Cloud. Link is Link. That's how it goes. No question about it. In return for allowing them that respect they made it easier for me to feel comfortable with feeling that I am Cloud/Link/Terra for an afternoon. You see paying respects to how others identify themselves has its pluses. For me it made life feel like an adventure. For to feel immersed in a world where it was up to me to save it became more achievable. That goes for outside of gaming as well. Everyone wants to disappear into somewhere else or somebody else. We all have things we would rather be than who we actually are. That's the point of escapism. It's the escape from a reality of no escape. That's why I use this trick to make my gaming experiences richer.
What are your tricks?

Zelda II is awesome.
Looking for a retro game where the hero kills thugs with a gun, like the Death Wish movies.
>>3277523
You mean like Dirty Harry, Golgo 13, Lone Ranger, or Metal Gear?
>>3277536
More like a game where you're cleaning up the streets of criminals, not generic bad guys. Like I said, something like the Death Wish movies.

You can make accusations like that without evidence, I assume that you have some?

>wow anon is that a sega genesis
>yezzir i got all kindsa games for it
>oh shit anon, Can we play Sonic 2?
Every time
>>3277447
Well, it is the best game on the system.
>>3277447
ya and when i went to my friend's house who had a snes i always asked to play dkc. sonic at my house. best of both worlds.
>not wanting to play Sonic 2 competitive mode
Sonic 3's vs mode was better, but Sonic 2 was still alright and had good music.
How long should I grind before heading to the Northwest Castle?
First time I've ever played, second run after I fucked myself in my first. At Elfland and fuck me those Arachnids and Asps are total BS.
>black mage in first position
you can start by hitting select and putting your mages in the last two slots so they don't get killed immediately
>>3277307
Holy shit I had no idea that mattered or was even possible, thanks
>>3277309
no problem, it's easy to make stupid, catastrophic mistakes in this game for a long time
first time i played i got to level 6 without even equipping any weapons or armor, i thought it was automatic and the game was just really hard
Lets show Mario 2 some respect! (respek)
DID YOU KNOW
>Stick "Mario" on a game
>people eat it up no matter what
We are all guilty of this. So share the game that sticks out most to you that, looking back, hooked you because of the visuals.
Pic related is mine. I have fond memories of pouring over the articles in this magazine before the Dreamcast launch, so hyped up for Sonic Adventure. Playing the game I remember telling myself it's great because it looked so amazing, ouch. Still love the DC today and consider it's visuals ahead of it's time.
Graphics are really important. Not because of how much detail you can put into something bland like what triple a developers nowadays but how you can make something pop out and attract people!
Sega understood arcade-style graphics better than anyone else. Games like crazy taxi, virtual-on, and panzer dragoon still look fantastic to this day despite hardware not being as impressive as today.
anyway. I'm definitely with you on this one, op. I can still go back to sonic adventure 2 and have a good time but sonic adventure 1's sonic segments are REALLY...

So with Odin Sphere Remastered coming out on PS4 today, let's discuss Kaminati's retro games. What do you think of his D&D belt scrollers and Princess Crown, /vr/?
>>3276938
>What do you think of his D&D belt scrollers
I think you should stop trying to force an unfunny meme.
>>3276960
>i-i-it's just a meme!!
Keep telling yourself that.
Princess Crown is fun, but very repetitive. Also, being forced to play as characters other then Gradriel also ruins it a bit.
Add a skill system, more enemy and level variety, more music variety and let us play as Gradriel for an entire game and it would have been sweet.
Is the first Dragon Warrior worth playing? I'm playing FF6 for the first time and I'm really enjoying it, so I thought I'd check it out.
>>3276873
Honestly? No. It's really grindy and extremely bare-bones. The later Dragonquest games are pretty good though.
Short but my fave Dragon Warrior game.
Considering how little time it will take you to get through it, it's not a huge investment even if it's not a spectacularly deep game.

Why can't we have outlandish rumors about video games like when we swore the Triforce had to be in OoT for a year, and when someone posted pictures the whole internet freaked out?
>>3276743
Because nowadays we can easily rip resources from a game, crack source code, record videos, and loosely organize hunts.
I think it's because people can easily check on the game's code and debunk fakes like that nowadays.
But yeah I remember the Triforce thing on OOT, it was on the official Nintendo site for april's fools in 1999.
I suckered so hard for those shitty fake walkthroughs, secret ssb characters, oot triforce, secret goldeneye guns etc.
I was fucked being a kid raised in the boonies that just got an Internet connection.
What's even more ridiculous is that fucking stupid complicated shadows of the empire code that turned out to be real..
Quintet games are fucking awesome. What's your favorite?
Quintet was full of idea guys but lacking competent game designers. Can't help but love them. Robotrek really does it for me.
>>3276382
Actraiser or Robotrek
>>3276382
Actraiser hands down. Granstream Saga on Ps1 is good as well, from what I've played so far.
