Why was Europe's Amiga scene so much better than computer gaming in America?
Were you kids too busy sucking Nintendo dick to notice the superiourity of computers?
>1 board games
>good
Australia-kun, you really need to leave this place and seek for professional help.
Why does this even need an explanation?
>go into computer store c. 1988

The Atari Vault just got released for Steam, it contains 100 Atari games from the 2600 to arcade, are you getting it?
Is it free? Does it offer any advantage over free emulation whatsoever, even a very trivial one? Then probably not.

Do you take us for idiots?

>Online and Local Multiplayer and Steam Leaderboards – For the first time ever, battle for arcade supremacy online or at home and compare your high scores with players from around the world.
Idiot here, I'm almost dumb enough for this, but not for $17
It was X-treme.
With the Nights engine, could have probably been okay. I dunno about some of these "leaked" versions I've seen.

Sonic was at his peak popularity at this time right after CD and S3&K. I remember magazine ads at the time and loved the mysterious tone Sonic games had. I loved the mecha/metal sonic designs and Xtreme was going to continue this. I wish the American devs of Xtreme got more help so maybe the shitty modern sonic design would have been avoided.
Anyone here from Europe and actually felt the game played/sound wrong or did you guys think that's how it should be at the time? Anyone here actually have a hard time playing older games at their normal speed because you were so use to your TV rate?
Asutralia-kun's handle is andreasaspenberg575?
Good day, Australia kun.
I think the music sounds better on Sonic 1 when it's slowed down. Most games I don't even notice slowdown whether it's PAL or not. The only game where I find the slowdown quite bad is the original Phantasy Star on Master System.
Why didn't we get this cable for our consoles?
>>3093046
Reasons.

Honest question. Who here, born in the 80's or before, cares about picture quality at this age?
>>3093046
Scart's a shit connector.
In Europe and Japan the scart/jp-21 cables never sold very well. Only a handful of consoles actually had SCART RGB included in the box. Usually it would had been RF or composite over scart instead of rgb.
Now it's hip to talk about RGB. But why we talk about a shitty EU standard is beyond me.
S-Video also looks great. At the time the only thing that could had taken advantage of RGB would had maybe been DVD. And that had component pretty much standard by the...

Why are NES games so awesome?
It only counts as bait when you try to instigate negative, angry responses
Friendly bait is good bait
My theory about NES games: only two main buttons and not too much storage space so games get right to the damn point, but they still have different levels and endings and stuff, so it's the right balance
Because each cartridge, as well as the system itself, is built of precious Nintendium.
>>3092660
yeah, the two button system is the very essence of magic.
Why was this game such a disappointment?
The what now?
>>3091681
It had the misfortune of being a sequel to DKC2. There was no way it wouldn't be a disappointment. Still a great game.
>>3091686
>Still a great game.
Agreed. The popular hate it gets is undeserved.
Super Russian Roulette
New ZAPPER-Based game for NES. Will be optimised for both NTSC and PAL (separate versions).
Does not require a CRT! It mostly just uses the trigger, there are a couple of things you can shoot onscreen, but you can press a button on regular controller to activate those things if using a non-CRT.
It is a Kickstarter project. It has surpassed it's funding goal by almost 4x. So it's happening.
Over 4 mins of speech! Full screen sprites!
Currently 1 megabyte (yes MEGAbyte) of PRG ROM, and 128 kilobytes of CHR ROM. Custom...

I've already backed it. Seems cool. I have the Famicom Gun which looks like a real revolver, too. I asked the dev for a Famicom-native version but he said there isn't enough interest. Fair enough, I can either get a cart converter or a controller converter.

Squid Adler - Mega Man X5
The first time I encountered him, I tried using X instead of Zero. X had no good special weapons, so with the blaster he was impossible. FUN, but impossible. I still want to try beating him with X just his buster.

Remember the 90s Girls with Guns fad.
That was cool. They should do it again. Post retro girls with guns
I bought this a while ago and took some pics for the internet.
What older James would you like to see a modern remake of?
>What older James
Why would you want to see a remake of anything? Outside of Nintendo other remakes always get destroyed with shitty "upgrades" and even if it's left alone they throw DLC in it.

You realize this series had entries up to the ps4, right?

I just looked up and this was actually remade for the psp. Hooray, your wish just came true.

Alright, /vr/ show me your pirate carts.
If you say so
I only have a pirate disc, no carts
I don't own any video games with pirates in it.
