Hey /vr/ I purchased Mischief Makers on N64 today. While testing it, I saw the game has a gorgeous sprite based style just from the intro, and it's a perfect example of why we needed more 2D games in the 5th generation of consoles. I feel like gen 5 is the perfect sweet spot for 2D games - consoles like the saturn and n64 were capable of 3D, but when they stayed in 2D, the result was for some gorgeous games; unfortunately developers solemn left in the safe zone that was 2D games. Symphony of the Night, Yoshi's Story, & Guardian Heroes are some notable examples. Post some 2D games from the 5th generation worth playing.

Sega updated all of their MD/Genesis games on Steam to launch from a 3D hub designed to look like a 1990's bedroom. More than that, they've added Steam Workshop support, meaning people can upload "mods" (i.e. romhacks).

https://steamcommunity.com/app/34270/workshop/

So far, most of them are just garbage sonic hacks, but somebody figured out that you can just upload an entirely different ROM and call it a "mod", even if that game isn't for sale on Steam. Currently, Contra Hard Corp is listed as a mod for Sonic the Hedgehog.

Lets have another of these threads aye?

So best bargain I think I've ever received. Picked-up 3 Sega Saturns (3 boxed one slightly broken), all PAL of course (Live in Australia) for 150. Guy throws in all his old games too, didn't complain just took them home. Inside were, Nights into dreams, ALL of the Panzer Dragoon games a few platformers. All for under the price you pay for a single boxed Saturn in Aus.
Any recommended titles other than whats listed /vr/?

I just tried playing Ultima 9 for a bit. It was, well, not great. How the hell did this series get 9 games?

Well I finally got to the end of Space Harrier on 1 credit and killed the super special hidden 3DS-only end boss.

Which is the next best thing to Space Harrier? Because maybe it's time I played a different game a bit.

1) Space Harrier 2? Seems too choppy

2) Star Fox? Seems too slow

3) Galaxy Force? Seems too hard

4) Master System Space Harrier? I'm waiting for the 3DS one

Also is it possible to blow up that big ship in pic related? And what's up with that one robot that start grey but then it turns into a blue robot?

This thread is for the spirited discussion of CRT displays - Televisions, monitors and projectors used for the playing of retro games!

>Try to keep it /vr/-related: Nothing past 5th gen(+Dreamcast). Slight OT might be okay if related to CRTs (E.G. 16:9 compatible models, flatscreens, etc.) Systems with backwards compatibility are also pretty safe territory, assuming you're focusing on the older games. PC CRTs are also a-ok.

Me? I would say around 2006. I got the Wii at launch, and that would remain the most contemporary home console I would ever get (never got the HD twins). Never got any DS or PSP games past 2007 (with the exceptions of the DS Chrono Trigger port and borrowing Kirby Super Star Ultra from a friend).

I did end up getting the 3DS, but I only own around eight games for it.

During the second half of last generation, when I got the Wii, is when I started looking more and more toward the past because contemporary stuff was interesting me less and less (Wii itself was...

I was playing some PSX games on my PS3 and noticed they seemed to look like garbage, I tired hooking it up to an old CRT I had and it looked significantly better. I don't know much about this stuff, how can you tell which consoles will look like shit on an HDTV? PS2, Dreamcast, and Xbox seem to look fine to me... is it basically just any console before that generation?

>tfw the 90s aren't coming back

>You no longer go into a game store and find something brand new and innovative.

>You can no longer go down to the arcade and find a new and awesome machine with mind blowing 3D graphics. Or find a new 2D game with the best smoothest sprite animation yet.

How do you deal with the fact that the 90s have passed and won't return. It's really difficult for me.
