I feel like I'm obsessed with NES for a long time. I never owned it, so I can't have any nostalgic feelings about it.
It's truly a great console full of awesome games and arcade ports and I feel like it's the greatest console of all tome.
Any thoughts?
>>3232181
It's one of the greatest.
Play it!
Download an NES emulator and play the games. You're missing out.
>>3232209
I do play, how I could say such things without experiencing on my own?

Old 3x3 I made for a thread once. I should probably update it and swap Journey to Silius for Mitsume ga tooru, maybe.
Also, props for Antartic Adventure, Star Force and Circus Charlie. True 8-bit nostalgia right there.

How do you know? Points?
About to buy a SEGA Saturn at a retro game store when it ships in tomorrow.
What are some must have games for it?
Im not sure. I had one that my crackhead stepdad sold.
I had Shining in the Darkness, and it was kewl. Shining Force 3 was something I wanted. According to Saturnfags Arcade games, and shumps are the bread and butter of the console.

Not an expert on Saturn by any means but I know that Fighters Megamix and Nights into Dreams are absolutely essential.

So I'm usually a fa/tg/uy, but I was curious on /vr/s opinion of picture related for emulation
>NES styled
>PlayStation layout
>SNES shape
Its like they are trying to piss people off
>horrible analog stick placement
>uncomfortable shape
looks painful as fuck. Just get a SNES USB controller or an F310
What games showcased and/or what time period were the "turning points" to when PC games started to look better than console games?
>>3218983
PC games have always looked better than console games.
>>3218983
I guess the late 90's or early 00's
PC games have always "looked better".
If you mean surpassed consoles completely then in the 2000s with 6th generation. Prior consoles had an edge in some form or another. Scrolling, launch hardware capability to present PC hardware, etc.
Was Sega just a one-hit-wonder? They couldn't seem to be able to capitalize on the Genesis success.

Ya that whole like nearly 80 years of making arcade games. Ya you modern gamer kids wouldn't know about that. To be fair I thought they only went back to the 80s maybe late 70s until I learned about their origins in the 2000s.
They made a lot of great games, the console market is tough to crack though.
What are some fun shmups with point-blank mechanics? Weapon number 2 from Axelay and the laser from Donpachi is what I'm looking for. Gradius when firing up close with options also applies.

So.... Any game with a spread shot type? There's an absolute TON of those.
>>3237708
Name some good ones. Usually the spread shot isn't even the strongest weapon.
Contra NES.
I previously tried buying some replacement rubber bits for my SNES controller, but they were worse than the original ones.
Any recommendations for the best way to refurbish a SNES controller?
Are your pads worn or is the silicone torn?
A decent temporary fix is rubbing graphite on the pads...but I'm guessing you want them 100%?
You could try finding a controller with good buttons in bad shape or otherwise broken, salvaging the parts you need.
I'm sort of in the same boat on a dreamcast controller...
>>3236848
Same my snes controller has a worn out dpad and I'm looking for high quality replacement pads, anyone know where to find the best?
Dunno about SNES controllers, but you can fix a NES controller by salvaging an N64 controller.
There are some Sega Saturn, PS1, and GameCube games I want to get re-surfaced since they won't play anymore (or certain parts won't play).
Do you guys have any good recommendations for where I can do this?
>>3236261
Many local game stores do it with professional machines, don't bother with those cheap disk resurfacers. My local /vr/ store offers it for $3 a pop.
>>3236261
why not buy one of those skipdoctor cd repair things
>>3236364
May as well ask him to buy a blender. At least then.he could make himself some protein shakes after shredding his discs beyond use.

didnt read the question disregard i suck cocks
Is civilization III /vr/?
No because it's not a pre-2000 game.
>>3237119
learn to sage mang, you've just bumped a 12 hour old non vr thread to the first page
Damn, that color scheme Civ3 is as 2000s as it gets when you compare it to the more watery 90s palette of Civ2.
Is there a comprehensive resource or guide on emulating psx on psp to recommend? alot of things i find on google seem contradictory and out of date.
