Good, bad or just plain hilarious. Let's show our recent finds.
I am not sure what this falls under, but it is something:

Redundantly called the "gameboy macro micro gba" This seller has created a GBA using the lower half of a DS lite. modifications have been made to the case and the end result gives it a very "unique" look.

Isn't that just half a DS? topkek
What does /vr/ think about Arc the Lad series, more specifically 1&2, and with more of the brunt being focused on 2? I'd say one of the most underrated retro JRPGs out there/
>>3240748
What makes it so great? Hows random encounters?
I have a friend who really liked it but I could never get into it.
it's so god damn fucking long
So /vr/ I had two questions
What's better (or rather what do you like), the original Mario Bros Arcade game or the remake on the GBA that came with super Mario Bros 2 (I know GBA isn't Retro yet, I just didn't play it and need insight)
And second, which game do you like more; DK arcade or the original Mario Bros arcade?
Thanks
The main thing Mario Bros has over DK is co op. iirc the GBA version is not accurate, gameplay-wise, to the original.
>>3240093
Thanks. Do you know if a co-op mod exists for the DK arcade game by any chance? Not asking for a link, just if you know if it exists
bump for opinions
What games do you guys consider to be the must play games for the Sega Master System?
Zillion.

Golden Axe Warrior if you like Zelda
Wonder Boy III
Castle of Illusion
Master of Darkness
>>3239971
>Phantasy Star for RPG

Any of them except RGB which stands out like a sore thumb
>>3239780
What would the Wii VC Palette look like if the brightness were turned up to normal? That would probably be perfect.
>>3239780
Red Brick Master Race.
Shit tier emulators use purple brick palettes as default.
Recenty bought a European snes and been wonderimg what the best way is to play some import games Like final fantasy 6 and chrono trigger

Doom is a good game
>>3239652
Yes.
I've recently finished my second playthrough of Planescape: Torment and I still have a hunger for more CRPG so I'm downloading this bad boy and will be installing it soon. Any tips for a beginner? I have heard these Icewind Dale games are combat heavy and pretty difficult. I'll admit I had a pretty hard time in my second playthrough of Torment in the later parts of the game. My constitution was shit and I was a mage going all in on intelligence, wisdom, and charisma. Those true shadows fucked my shit up. They were hard to run away from and so fast it was luck...

Maybe you should play the first one first.
Those games are nothing like Torment (you should play Mask of the Betrayer if you look for something similar). It's just combat after combat with poor designed encounters. Weird how Black Isle made so different games.
Also IWD II uses 3rd edition so the rules are different, but it's not a really good implementation.
Don't be fooled by the beginning, it looks like an actual Black Isle game, but sadly the rest it's nothing like that.

Convert to feminazism while wearing a hijab. Then tip your fedora. THE WAY IS MEANT TO BE PRAYED! Also enhanced is butter but non retro.
>>3239778
I've played past the first bit and I'm finding it pretty dull so far. I will look up Mask of the Betrayer later if the story doesn't pick up soon. Torment may have spoiled me with how developed its world is and how much you can say to people in dialogue.

Yeah alien crush was dope
>>3241109
You mean Storm
Lets talk about R.O.B
...and the two games he can optionally be used with.
you hurt my feelings
>>3239241
Filthy name fag get out of the thread.
How did they go from the top to so low that they couldnt catch a break?
>2600: wow
>5200: cool
>7800: crash
>Tengen - lawsuit
>Lynx - failed
>Panther - cancelled
>Jaguar - undersupported
>RIP
>5200: cool
This should be an interesting thread.
>5200: cool
I guess you mean
2600: cool
5200: trash
7800: delayed
Lynx: primitive
Phanter: vaporware
Jaguar: isolated
Also they failed to be relevant because the terrible way they treated their devs in the 2600 era. All of them left when the NES became popular. I have always thought that Atari would have been an excellent arcade game developer, pretty much like SNK.
>>3239043
Atari arcades > Atari computers > Atari consoles
FACT
Is there a limit to how fast a game can be speed run? Like in super metroid how much faster could they really do ittbhfam
>>3239010
Yes

Man, I got some flash backs to the pirated copy I downloaded that came with a custom soundtrack
I didn't even know it was a custom one until I popped in. Fuck if I was going to download it again on a 56k connection.
