It's a nice song, but 21st century Windows games are off topic for /vr/. /vr/ is through 1999.
>>3157407
In OP's defense, it was ported to Dreamcast.
>>3157496
Hmm that is a good workaround.
OK OP you are forgiven.
So, I dont understand
I'm level 21, something like 63% complete with 3 hours in the game, and apparently I beat it?
Once I learned how to transform as a bat, I went through the clock tower and to the broken bridge, flew up the gap, and fought Belmont...
Credits roll, no end-credits scene, nothing...
>>3155043
Get ready for a lot of people to laugh and get mad at you. Also leave now if you don't want to be spoiled.
Equip the Gold and Silver rings in the clock room.
Maybe your time would be better spent trying to find the 37% of the game that you obviously fucking missed rather than coming here and crying to us about how fucking stupid you are?
Does anyone own one of these that could take some specific close up photos for me?
>>3155141
Sorry, all I have are some close-up photos of the Jaguar CD.
>>3155157
Holy fuck, you made me laugh pretty hard. Phew.
>>3155141
sure thing bud
Which are your favorite sound chips and synthesis styles used for retro games, /vr/?
where the hell did the other thread go: synth vs fm or something?
>>3154890
the janny deleted it for some reason
Is there a list of games that use the PSX sound chip and Saturn's YMF292 rather than playing music off the CD? Like Final Fantasy 7 did.
Which one /vr/?
>>3154616
does it matter?
The one that don't make the dithering effects look like shit.
>>3154616
The first one of course. The pixels are supposed to be sharp. Why would they bother using vertical lines if they were intended to be blurred? They are obviously intended to be visible because that better represents falling water.
My Final Fantasy order was 1-6-7, so it completely took me by surprise.
Had I played 4 first, sure I'd have been expecting party members to die every 2 seconds, but Aeris's death genuinely surprised me.
So much so that I was one of those guys searching for 'how to revive Aeris' back in the early days of the internet.
Granted I never did any of the rumors (collect 99 tissues, get 99 gold chocobos, max out all your materia), but it was a genuine shock.
What did you think?
>>3154504
Well, we the Euro-blessed were thankfully spared of the upsetting suddenness of the event, pic related
Still, not having had it spoiled for you must have been a statistical aberration, at least if you were in school back then
>>3154528
She could just be taking a nap in some water.
>>3154530
I don't think anybody remember the back cover when her death happen. You reach the end of disc one after 20-30 Hours.
what were your favorite /vr/ shows growing up? pic related for me and ninja turtles if that counts as /vr/
>>3152923
This of course.
The Mario Show with Lou Albano live action sections was amazing, I have pretty good memories of waking up early in the morning and having breakfast while watching that show before going to school.
The live section parts were probably the best and most hilarious, while the cartoon part probably weren't as good, but they did the job for a kid like me at the time.
I remember liking all of them including the SMB3 ones (which I think lacked the live action), but I never got into the SMW cartoon, I remember watching it a few times and it never clicked, barely remember...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

I really liked the Earthworm Jim cartoon with Dan Castellaneta voicing Jim. Also CG Donkey Kong.
Why were the Super Nintendo and the Mega Drive consoles modified and in the Mega Drive's case, rebranded to "Genesis" for the North American market? Why go to the effort of releasing two different models of consoles when a majority of the world only used one? Was it autism?
>Why go to the effort of releasing two different models of consoles when a majority of the world only used one? Was it autism?
The majority of the world market especially for video games is America.
>>3151775
Yeah okay, but what was wrong with original designs of the consoles then? Why did America need its own version of the SNES and Mega Drive?
>>3151782
Because it's a different market.
Why did so many uncles work at Nintendo in the 90's? I bet you had one in the family too!
>>3151435
I thought only dads worked at nintendo.
>>3151438
dads can also be uncles if they had siblings. I will be neither as I am a shut in.
>>3151435
I actually worked for NoA from 1988 to 1991.

PDAs exploded into popularity after US Robotics released the Palm Pilot 1000 in 1996. Even though they weren't intended to be gaming machines plenty of games came out for them, but I've never heard of a retrogaming PDA scene, or a PDA game collector
Let's change that, /vr/. Let's show some love for Palm
>>3143386
PDAs are utter shit.
Hahahahaha wtf is this threae
i have a windows ce 3.0 palmtop somewhere that i've got nethack running on. it's alright.

How does this make you feel /vr/? Can you watch the whole thing without being triggered?

There was a thread on /v/ recently about how hard Super Metroid is.
>>3147820
>Can you watch the whole thing without being triggered?
Yes, because the kids playing "got it." They said they liked the game, and appreciated it for its exploration elements. I'm not sure what's here to be triggered about?
Would have liked to seen their reaction to the original Metroid, however.
>>3147820
I never knew that you could roll under the Torizo with morph ball.

Did /vr/ ever play this?
I first played the SMS version and didn't understand why people raved about the sound and graphics until I saw the Amiga version.
Also it was hard as hell.
![maxresdefault[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/C3l7xae.jpg "maxresdefault[1].jpg")
Let that be a lesson to you to avoid the console ports of Amiga games even if they're better known and/or more accessible.
Also perhaps let this be a gateway for you into Amiga platformers
>>3149858
Thanks, I'll take a look!
Had the Lynx version.
Loved it, though I never got far.
It had a great alternate soundtrack.

Anybody else feel as if the upcoming PS4 "remake" is missing the point? Much like so many modern remakes/re-imaginings of classic franchises, it's as if it doesn't feel comfortable in simply technologically elevating what people liked in the original. No, its developers always seem to have this idea that fans and newcomers alike would rather be playing another popular game than something faithful, so they "fix" it. Or maybe it's just publisher demand, "make it more like God of War or Halo instead of the thing that makes it special".
I mean, look at this shit:
