Let's have a Strife thread since it just released on GOG.I like it more than DOOM
>>3226902
Loved Strife. Wouldn't say its any better then DOOM but the flamethrower and mauler were something to behold
>>3226902
You might have liked it better than Doom, but you really should consider lumping it together with other games of the same style. Even the Doom thread has other things popping up.
>>3226902
One of my favorite 2.5D FPS definitely.
What was the point of this for home consoles?
>>3226674
padding
now git gud
>>3226674
To make up for the fact you didn't need to insert coins to keep playing. Remember, this was the 90s and the previous generation's compulsion for arcade machines was still affecting game development.
>>3226674
Maybe you did not want to continue playing? This allowed you to stop
So what're the best DOS platform games out there? I'm currently loving pic related.
Rayman
>>3226424
The shareware version of this game is what made it click in my young mind that it's kind of funny how high platformer characters can jump.
>>3226424
Pic very related.
I would like to replay Rayman 1 (on a PC) for some nostalgia. What would be the best way to go around doing this?
emulate ps1 version
>>3226193
I'm sorry, but because of reasons it really has to be the PC version.
>>3226205
Go build a DOS computer. Otherwise good luck. It doesn't run in a virtual machine or dosbox or wine last I checked. Not properly anyways.
Besides taken a disc to one of those professional disc repairers, what are some other methods to get scratches of the disc?

3DO - Atari Jaguar - CD-I, Amiga 32 and other early 5th gen consoles. Are there ANY games worth playing on any of these consoles? Can they all be emulated?
The niche factor of these consoles kind of fascinate me
>>3225402
3DO - The Need For Speed
Atari Jaguar - Tempest 2000
>>3225402
Dunno about the others, but 3DO can be emulated via 4DO, which works perfectly for most of the library at this point.
Check out Lucienne's Quest if you like jrpgs.
>>3225402
Amiga CD32 can run regular Amiga software. It's the only one of the four that I don't have but Amiga is emulated more or less perfectly. I'd still like to own one though.
apparently the disk image for virtual nigger has finally been dumped. someone from neoFAG uploaded a gameplay video claiming they downloaded it, so the rom must be floating around somewhere. any idea?
video in question:

Never heard of this, am intrigued, and find the link no longer exists. B8?
Hey anon, looks like they nuked the neogaf thread, too. I wonder if sjw's can get behind preserving a game like this
Calling bullshit right here and now.

So, what shooters have you been playing lately, /vr/? I'm trying to 1cc Metal Slug 3.

Working on Sega Adventures of Batman and Robin right now . Is there any reason to not use bolos in the game, aside from the one spot where you need to shoot down the little smiling copters all at once for powerups? Also, fuck all of stage 3, hope it ends soon.
What's the oldest vidya you've ever played?
>>3223671
arcade pong
>>3223671
pretty much the thing in your pic
moon patrol on an arcade machine in the local ice hockey stadium.
i was like 8.
this was also one of the first times i ever played the vidya, ther were also arcade machines at some small fun fair and sometime around that i got my first game and watch, rain shower.
How are overworld maps and region maps made?
It seems to me that creating such a picture frame by frame would be extremely slow and tedious.
Is there any application that creates overview maps easily?
Could I create maps like these acessing the data in ROMs or ISOs of the games?
How could I make some of these more easily?

>show u how a ril nigga do
I remember when video games were mainly for white people.
>>3222043
You can still copy save files to a thumb drive ya dingus.
>>3222043
VMU BEST MEMORY CARD
This game is so fucking good
>>3221840
I'm about to finish DQI. Why do you like DQII better? I'm burning through I-IV on the NES.
>>3221892
more challenging and rewarding imo, And the music is my favorite out of the nes games
bump for discussion
Anyone here getting in on the ladder reset tomorrow? It's probably the most fun way to play Diablo II, when everyone is the same level and noone has good gear.
I'll definitely be playing a sorceress, anyone want to get a team together?
>playing online video games
pleb
>>3219779
What ladder reset? Drop the info, OP.
You got a link? I can't find shit about a may reset.
Would it have been better?
Anything would have been better.
If they put the time and effort recoding the game from scratch into improving the gameplay in the N64 version it could have been very good indeed.
I can't believe how shitty the "boss fight" is with General Scales.
>>3219491
I'm surprised the box itself isn't furry.
