Any Old Spyro Fans on here?
the Spiro's fan IS here
Ah, perfect! Figured I come onto 4chan and see if people still remember this series. With Crash Bandicoot being teased an all...
One of the most desception is do not see the Spyro's adventures in goodless HD game look like new mario or new raiman,like they will reform the platform games... I will, I will...
I found this and thought you guys might find it interesting: a top 100 games of all time list written in September 1996 published by Next Generation magazine.

It's like a time capsule and it's really interesting to see how video games were viewed 20 years ago, especially given context today. For just one example, this is pre-Ocarina of Time, so we get a much more subdued look at the Zelda series, in which they say it's great, but it's not held with the same legendary status as it is today.
It's also interesting...

I still have this issue sitting in a box somewhere. It was actually pretty spot on for its time.

cool
>#1 is a game that hasn't come out yet
less cool, but understandable
Metal slug thread.
Trying to 1cc Metal slug 3 and I'm still having trouble with the giant red spiders in the mothership. Any tips on beating them without getting crushed?
bump?

X > 1 > 3 > 6 > 4 > 5
Im trying to 1cc MS1 and I'm apparently too retarded to go the whole game without accidentally inputting the "plz xplode my tank" command once
Why does that even exist, I just want to hop and shoot and throw grenades in peace
Did anyone ever really pay attention to the drifting system in this game?
VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
It was a pretty big deal, actually.
Now the power slide on Mario Kart 1, that was truly overlooked.
>>3261161
OP here. I actually beat the game and got all gold trophies without paying too much mind to it. I did try to learn about it in the manual but then just said "fuck it" and went with my gut and felt it out.
I have to confess that I played this game to death as a kid without knowing about power slide boosts.
What's your favorite Goemon game, /vr/? I've been really enjoying GG2 on the NES.
I was always a fan of Goemon's Great Adventure.
Great Adventure. It has my favorite stage design, boss design, and music.
Using fanart of an obscure character might not attract many peopleI love Suzaku though
My favorite is a tie between Goemon 2 on SFC and Goemon's Great Adventure, although MNsG remains my favorite for story, setting, humor and overall adventure feel.
Why do they call it The King of Fighters 98 when it isn't the 98th game in the series?
I always found this very confusing.

>OP repeats my shitposting from the N64 thread
>>3260952
Wait, you think that was original? It's one of the oldest jokes when it comes to Commodore 64, Nintendo 64, etc.
>>3260958
Are there any C64 games with 64 in the title?
I found these links in the archives a while ago, it'd be a waste to have them lost so I thought I'd share them here with /vr/. Each folder contains official artworks, all sorts of roms, manual/booklet/magazine scans, packaging, maps/sprites, OSTs, comics/manga, etc.

I played and finished Seasons and Ages recently and quite liked them. Looking back I might have slightly preferred Ages to Seasons, I thought it had a better story and atmosphere despite some parts of the game being a bit irritating. Dungeons and puzzles were also better I thought. Since I played Ages as the second quest I might be a bit biased though, I don't know. All in all I still think of both games as one.
I'm also confused as to why people always call Seasons prettier than Ages, both games were pretty, if anything I thought Ages to be even prettier at times.

How the hell do I make stairs? I can only get the first step to rise, how am I meant to make that trigger the others raising?
>no SCART
>no VGA
WTF is wrong with murricans TV??
SCART is inferior in every way to RGB over BNC or Component and NTSC HDTVs had VGA ports until very recently, some still do.
>>3260396
This.
Mine still has a VGA, but really, who even cares about them other than retro fans now? HDMI is the way to go.
Pay 10 bucks for a converter, and you're good to go.
>>3260396
>RGB over BNC
Well why don't any consoles support it, when they support RGB SCART just fine?
Is it possible to run The Neverhood and Skull Monkeys pc version on Windows 7? If so, how hard is it to get the games workng?
Use ScummVM to play The Neverhood, without any problems
Skullmonkeys is a shit game.
>>3260048
Sure. Just boot into your secondary OS.
Please for the love of gandalf help me... I can't remember the name or all the details of an old 2D side scroller type view of some Badass ass kicker shooter game.. kinda like Doom style or Duke Nuke'm. your about the size of Mario from the first Mario game (roughly) I remember there being RED YELLOW BLUE KEYS THAT OPEN DOORS
this is like all I can remember somebody has to know...
I remember a helicopter in the picture too I think.. and him like kicking someone... maybe
What platform?
>>3259926
Ask Google. There is a whole forum dedicated to help people find games in this manner
Doom was ported to everything. ROTT had zero ports. That's a shame as the hardware Doom was ported to would've run ROTT much more smoothly, fullscreen and all.
A GBA port with link cable multiplayer would've been especially cool.
>>3259593
Probably came out at an awkward time. Was right when fourth gen was ending yet too far away to wait for fifth gen consoles to come out without a major loss of interest.
>>3259593
Because Rise of the Triad wasn't a good game.
>>3259957
x2 - never got the the appeal of this "gem".
After years of wanting one, I'm finally going to pull the trigger and buy myself a PC Engine.
The problem is that I know very little about the differences between the different versions of the console. Which version should I be looking to get? The Duo is out of my price range, unfortunately.
>>3259540
Depends.
Most people will say the only reason to own a PC-Engine is for the CD games so you should probably just hold off, or grab one with the CD attachment instead of the duo.
>>3259546
Understandable, but I know there's enough HuCard games that I enjoy to warrant getting just the main console for now. I've already checked for one with the CD, and it's not an option at the moment, but I figure I could buy it separately down the road.
>>3259540
theres the pc engine (the white one), the core grafx and the core grafx 2 and they're all basically the same so don't worry about missing out. The word is that the cd addons are not very reliable on the whole and that you really want a duo of some sort if you want cd. The supergrafx is overpriced and is a waste of time. It only supports 6 extra games (probably 2 you'd actually want to play) and won't work with the cd addons. The controllers are expensive so make sure you get one with the console....

Hello anons little unsure where I should post this but here goes.
I am currently downloading a old classic called Might and Magic VI, since Piratebay.se/piratebay.org is shutdown in Norway
I went to several sites and found a site where i can download a huge winrar file of the game(s)
My Question is do i need to use Dosbox to run Might and Magic VI?
DOSBox, no.
Windows only, but that doesn't mean it'll run on XP or later. GOG version probably works.
>>3256730
I just confirmed the GOG version works fine on 7
Man. Now I want to play. but I've completed 6-8 sooo many times.
Great games.
>>3257669
Actually, it's running fine on my Win 10 partition too.
What is the best side Scrolling Beat Em Up and why is it TMNT 4: Turtles In Time?
Ninja Warriors Again is better, or are we only talking about belt scrollers?
>>3254505
No, we're talking about beat 'em ups.
It's my favourite because of the great controls and all the moves you can do with just two buttons
Off the top of my head...
Jump-Attack (While going up): Kick
Jump-Attack (At top height): Slow jump with multiple attacks
Jump-Attack (While going down): Usual jump kick
Dash-Attack: Tackle
Dash-Jump: Roll
Dash-Jump-Attack: Slide
Then you have the different kinds of grab you can do depending on how close you are to the enemy. There's the stomp to the sides, the through towards the screen...
What beat'em ups/belt scrollers...
