Does this remove that ugly distortion on the textures that happens at certain angles?
>>3200702
yes, this is exactly what that is. It's proper Texture Perspective correction.
there a before / after to better grasp what's changed? it's been a while since i've played ps1, but all these codenames in the youtube titles have me interested
What games are now virtually unplayable that you still have a soft spot for because you enjoyed them so much as a kid?
> Toshinden
I've never played 3 and 4 but the first two I played to death as a kid on ps1. I fired up Toshinden 2 on MAME the other day (it had an arcade release by Capcom) and it's almost unplayable.
>>3198008
Uh I still like it. It's less clunky than Tekken 2 and Soul Edge but nowhere close Tekken 3 or Bloody Roar.

Can everyone post some of their favourite obscure Game Boy/Game Boy Colour games? I'm mainly interested in platformers, beat 'em ups, turn based and action RPG's.
Harmony of Dissonance
I'm sure other anons will scream at me saying some of these aren't obscure, but whatever, here's some I like that I feel are lesser known.
Balloon Kid
Boxxle
Cattrap
Dragon Dance
Mole Mania
Motocross Maniacs
Mercenary Force
Nemesis
Prophecy: The Viking Child (Bitchin' soundtrack on this one too)
Tiny Toon Adventures: Babs' Big Break

An obscure game that I liked was "for the frog the bell tolls." A first party Nintendo games made quite early in the gameboy's lifevbut interesting. The gameplay is quite weird and not for everyone but I found it super charming. You will need an english translation patch fpr this game.
Another game I recommend is trip world by sunsoft. I would compare it to mr.gimmick but it's quite different. Very technically impressive game.
So I'm moving and am looking to get rid of most everything I own, including a slew of older games, mostly ps1 rpgs. I imagine most of them won't increase in value that much from where they're at now.
Just wondering if there was a Kelley Blue Book but for games, other than just googling and checking the price/condition ratio on ebay and amazon.
And speaking of that, what's the best place to sell? Kinda afraid the listing will just sit there forever.
Here, bro! Slap up a new Buy/Sell/Trade thread and let your fellow /vr/others get first pick.
>>3220182
There is no good place to sell.
People on the /bst/ here want a fucking deal, like the money grubbing jews they are.
People on craigslist will flake constantly and harass you with endless emails over minute details of your stuff.
eBay BIN's will sit forever if you've priced it "competitively" since no one wants to play reseller prices.
eBay auctions run the very real risk of getting 5-10 dollars for stuff going for 40-50.
Local stores will give you shit return...

Don't sell. You'll regret it later and want to kill yourself.
If you're already suicidal, if you want to make the most money in the least amount of time, use ebay auctions and start very low.
Since eBay takes 10% of all your sales, another way to do this is to look for a mom and pop store that buys/sells. They usually know the value of these games and will give you a good price.
If you have all the time in the world, put it at Buy It Now for a high price and let it sit there.
Why aren't we discussing this?

Looks like a bootleg Fairchild

Looks stylish, but it barely has some unrealized potential.

What do we know about it?

So I'm playing Doom for the first time ever.
I was expecting a pretty dated game, one whose level of enjoyment would be mostly quaint and fueled by nostalgia and humble reverence.
Holy shit!
This game is fucking amazing. I'm honestly dumbstruck at how brilliant it remains after all these years. Even ignoring the brilliant enemy and level design, I don't think I've ever played a game that simply felt this good to just play. It's just so goddamn punchy and visceral.
It's beautiful, /vr/. It's so fucking beautiful.

You missed the general
What's the first video game you'd let your first son play?
I'm thinking Super Mario RPG.
Bonus: What's the first song you'd let him listen to?
I'm thinking Aerosmith's 'Dude' (Looks Like A Lady), as they are my favorite band and are basically GOAT tier music all-around.
I would LET him play any game he wants, with full access to my collection.Except disc-based games. I'd have those in hiding until he learned how to handle one properly
>>3218926
This.
Super Mario World.
It was my first and an excellent introduction to the world of video games.
And for music; I dunno. I guess some Beatles, Beach Boys, or Creedence. Further down the road, I'll introduce him to bands like Gentle Giant, King Crimson, and Frank Zappa.
After playing Danganronpa and 999, I wanted something retro and I found pic related to be fantranslated.
It's a pretty comfy game, the characters are cool, you can roam the city at night and have some turn-based battles. But it feels somewhat repetitive at times..
Has anybody played this game or other similars? Retro visual novels thread
The game is Bloody Bride - Imadoki no Vampire btw...
There's a fan translation of this game and the rest of the (not retro) series. Written and planned by the same guy who did the Zero Escape series.
I know moon but I'm too impatient for visual novels or dating sims nowadays.
What could have saved it?
>>3218892
As is? Not much, the hardware just wasn't portable in any real sense, and the battery life was atrocious. The Tv tuner was cool though, maybe if they'd advertised it for an older crowd that travelled a lot and focused on more casual games like tetris.
If they could double the battery life would be golden
Being released by Nintendo.
How much is a Sega Genesis new in box (original plastic wrapping) worth? Includes all accessories, games, and original posters

I'll suck your dick for it, no homo.
Look online. They're still being made brand new in Brazil though.

Huh. Didn't know that. Neat. Are there any other retro games/easter eggs hidden on Google? I remember the Dragon Quest map from a few years back.
Last time 4chan told me to google image search sometime, I wound up on a watchlist.

Anyone ever play the best 3D fighting game on the N64?
>>3217757
lol
The N64 had no good fighting games.
But it's got a ton of bad ones.

>VF2 who?
Ah ha ha ha ha ha!
What are some games that every video game player should play? regardless of whether they like it or not they should at least play these games.
Can be from any genre or system, just which ones do you think everyone should play at least once?
>>3217567
Have you ever stopped to think that some people just play games for fun? For instance, some people only like certain genres so they'll only play those games. You look like a huge poser if you feel like you have to play a game that you don't even like just to fit in.
>>3217608
I think it's not about fitting it but getting a strong and all around experience of games of yesteryear, I'm sure even you've looked back at others general recommendations in hopes of expanding your horizons.
>>3217567
all of the mario games from the 90's
donkey kong
Is anyone on here crazy and rich enough to collect Neo-Geo games?
What's it like? What kind of experiences have you had collecting for it?
I wish. Back in the early days of /vr/ I helped a guy negotiate a deal where he bought pic related from an older couple though.>tfw I've been collecting for decades and have never found a deal like this
>>3217210
Fucking hell
How much did that little lot set him/her back?
>>3217217
He almost got it for chump change but he got too excited on the initial phone call and triggered them to check online prices but I helped him reign it in and use my tried and true negotiation tactics and he ended up getting it for around $600
Is Pokemon Red and Blue a 3rd, 4th, or 5th generation video game?
The console it was released on, the Game Boy, debuted in 1989. However, Pokemon Red and Blue was released in February of 1996 in Japan, yet wasn't released in North America until September of 1998.
So what generation should the game be filed under?
>>3216576
doesn't really matter man, I just see it as a late original gameboy game.
>>3216585
>doesn't really matter
It does when you're trying to write an article on the history of video games.
