Hey /vr/ what are some fun shooting games like pic related? Stuff I can play or emulate on PC.
I'm also interested in the the top-down kind of shooter, where you get a plane, get power ups, fuck shit up. I don't know the genre name..
And does anyone know of a 2D scrolling game where you would pick one of 3 pilots/get purchase various upgrades and fuck shit up. For the SNES, it was military themed and the pilot colors were red/blue/green.

Fuckin thousands of those games m8.
Vertical Shooters
>top down shooters
Got you covered senpai

That sounds like U.N. Squadron.
So, what NES JRPGs are worth playing?
No DQ.
No FF.
I thought Dark Lord was pretty fuckin neato.

Fuzzical Fighter wasn't exceptionally great, but it took a bold step by combining SHMUPS with JRPGs, even if it was limited to talking to the mayor of each town and buying upgrades in shops.
>>3110538
Dunno if Fire Emblem clones count, but Just Breed was fucking great.
OK so I'm finally determined to start Wizardry 6, and hopefully move onto 7 and 8. I've read the manual and some of the cluebook but it's quite a bit to take in.
What is a good idiot-proof party to start with, which will hopefully transition well to 7 and 8? I don't really care about min/maxing hardcore or gamebreaking stuff, just want something that will get me through the game and have some fun with the mechanics, without getting too autistic.
Any other tips I should know before starting?
Is the cluebook for cheating bastards?
PROTIP: graph paper
makes sense that it's called wizardry, you'd have to a 30 year old virgin to enjoy that shit
counter sage for grids and dungeons
what does /vr/ think of ghost lion?
>>3110258
African jrpg
I liked that Blue Water one better
>>3110258
Actually a licensed game, I believe it was some kind of a Japanese movie or tv show.

>Look at me, I appreciate OLD GAMES with OUTDATED systems unlike you babies.
Holy shit dude.

Ready to bet that nobody here managed to beat this pain in the ass.
I did. Not the PC version, like your picture, though.
>>3109294
Never beated it, just cried . That music though
>>3109427
I've currently collected 82% of the game's electoons. It's surely a more painful task that in Origins.
Anyone else just playing up to certain sections of this game then restart to play it from the start afterwards?
I don't know about Tomb Raider but that's how I play most of my arcade games.
I don't hate Xen like some people, but when I replay Half-Life 1 I usually stop after I reach the final lambda outpost. I don't even do the "defend the teleporter" bit.
Why aren't there any more games based on faith vs. logic theme?
Because there's no inherent conflict between logic and faith. Logic applies to everything for which we have evidence to consider and the unknown is necessarily a matter of faith.
Arcanum wasn't about faith vs logic. It was more about the dualistic nature of "progress".
Just finished REmake for the 4th time, which version of RE2 should I play?
I've never played it before.
>>3108876
ps1
>>3108876
PC or Dreamcast. Gamecube is also a good choice. Play on normal difficulty. Avoid N64 version.
>>3108876
PS1 version
Anyone care to guess when the remake often second will be here?
280 ZZZap is the first. Made by Bally-Midway, programmed by Jay Fenton. Jay Fenton later transitioned and took the name Jamie Fenton, so you may find the game credited under that name as well.

What other <5th gen games had them? The earlier the better.
>>3108793
It had some sweet promos
>>3108795
Datsun even made a ZZZap package for the irl car.
>>3108803
Fenton was a chill bro.
What the hell is this I'm reading about the Genesis having different revisions and some have horrible sound and some don't?
From what I could find, the best bet is a later revision Model 1?
earlier ones with "High Definition Graphics" written on them are the best ones
later revision Model 1 and earlier revision Model 2 are the worst due to Sega putting in sound filtering that didn't match installed quad amps (there are three different types of quad amps that can be found in these models - one of them doesn't fit well and it sounds HORRIBLE, one fits OK but sounds a bit muffled, and one fits pretty good with just a tiny bit of noise in the background)
later revision Model 2s are fine though, they fixed the problem by then
>>3108394
Okay, awesome.
I was worried it was complicated. I see now it just matters whether or not they have High Definition on them or not.
I was wondering how the fuck I was going to identify the proper Model 1 in a store or on an auction.
>>3108402
A good Model 2 is easy to identify too, and they are pretty much as good as a HDG Model 1.
Netplay retro games thread.
Post your Steam or Skype.
Steam: ZEAdaki Willing to play pretty much whatever as long as it's easy to set up.
>>3107882
dang, skype gets to be even worse than steam just for messaging
since no one broke its new procotol yet, you have to run the real skype program, and an old PC capable of running tons of retro shit can barely run skype heh

Anyone interested in Mortal Kombat 2 netplay? I'm really shit at it, but it's the only multiplayer game I have that I can play competently.
I didn't see one in the catalog, you faggots. I thought I'd fix that.
So it's like Mario, only with a plumber
>>3106830
No. It's like Mario, but with a plumber.
>>3106853
And it's by Nintondo.
I mean the bloody PC version , not the PS1 version someone is baiting with.
Anyways, is there any mod to make the game run at 70 fps so the permanent "walking" speed won't feel so slow?
Yes, I know you can "jog", in town, in the expansion , but I hate installing an expansion that introduces major bugs.
