What is it with genesis games always having such shitty music?
>>3029529
Get a better audio cable and don't turn the volume up so high. The genesis is very prone to distortion from volume.

why do people seek 'weird' and 'obscure' games in a system? wouldn't you rather play games generally considered good? i mean i understand diamonds in the rough, but humans don't even have enough time to play all the generally popular videogames

OP, please. We know you're the only person who is shilling this shit. Stop trying, you won't convince anyone here with your stubborn foolishness.
Made this last night with Bob Ross in the background after watching someone do it on Youtube. Anybody else have fun with Mario Paint?
I tried that as well, though kind of failed.

imo it's more important that you enjoyed making it.

Fuck vinesauce kiddie shit. Get yourself a actual cart and snes.
Gothic 1 and 2! not 3 fuck 3 and especially 4
Gothic 2 may have improved on several things, but I think the inventory system was a little better in Gothic 1 than it was in 2. I also feel that it is a lot more pleasant to buy and sell things in 1 because you can trade meat and drinks and stuff for other things instead of doing the same old sell-things-for-cash-and-buy-things-you-want-for-cash. It really added to the feel that you were in a massive prison where items were slightly scarce and merchants didn't have unlimited money on them.
HEYYYYY MAAAAN
you want to buy something?
UUUUUUUUUUUH
I think I've found something...

Fan games are sorta intereting in that they occupy the space between rom hack and original game. Often using sprites from the original games, but using new engines.
Any worth playing? And more importantly, is there any attempt to archive all of them?
I'm enjoying Castlevania The Bloodletting

>is there any attempt to archive all of them?
Nope, there is not.
>>3017331
> is there any attempt to archive all of them?
I wanted to, but there are so many fan games out there, I don't know which ones are worth archiving.
Why did FPS level design become so boring after Quake?
>>3013063
Half-life came around and was popular.
Because clever level design is not needed for a gaming being successful.

This, once the floodgates for "cinematic shooters" appeared, the was no going back
Post pics, discussion, strategy, whatever. What's your favorite pin? For me it is probably Creature From the Black Lagoon.
I really love the 3D space cadet game that came out in 1995 and was an official part of windows from windows 98 to vista. I spent hours playing that game.
>>3011018
As did I
Red pill me on Black Knight. Is it as good as everyone says or is it just put on a pedestal due to what it innovative? Found one for cheap near me and curious if it's worth checking out.

Has anyone see this movie?
I have a nice Sony Trinitron and I want to use it for emulation, bad thing it only has composite but it looks good anyway. Is it possible to get 240p with an old ATI Radeon video card with TV out and soft15khz? I mainly play fighting and platform games so it's kinda like a big deal for me.

^ Haven't seen this posted before.
Is there anywhere to download the old Windows PC Wizardry games like Empires II? There are apparently translation patches now but nowhere to get the games without forking out stupid amounts of money on auction sites or something.
I love the new banner image - what game's that from?
>"A critic of a different age or nation, who should [be free from all prejudice], must have all these circumstances in his eye, and must place himself in the same situation as the audience, in order to form a true judgment of the [artistic work]"

>On The Standard Of Taste - 1757
How should we use this philosophy to guide our future discussion on the merits of retro games, /vr/?
Games don't age.
>Age of Enlightment writing
I'm not going to, but I'm certain I could find some Romantic era writing that says Mr. Hume is full of shit.
There are three ways a game age in the eyes of someone: when that someone is blind, when that someone is a fool, and when that someone is a faggot.
The person is blind when he doesn't see the flaws until someone else points it for him, in the form of critique or by presenting a game mechanic that is superior to the what he had played. For example: older FPS controls, like Goldenye. They might not be awful, but to put it bluntly, compared to later console FPS, it is shit. However, it was always shit, you just didn't notice it.

VR Burnout Thread
>That feel when you've played all your classics to death
How do you get over burnout and enjoy these games as well as others again
>>3063515
I find that generally vidya burnout is a symptom of bad health of some sort in a lot of cases.
Take a break, do something out of your routine and come back in a few weeks
I usually do something else, like read a book or start watching a lot of movies or series.
But if you can't do anything else, you might have depression and it has nothing to do with videogames.
There are thousands and thousands of old games waiting for you to play them for the first time. If you've already played your old favorites, why not look for new favorites?
Hey, I don't like this.
Ok.
cool
>>3062650
Have you figured out the parrying mechanic? It's much more fun when you've learned to parry effectively.
Who /Spectrum Master Race/ here?
I have a Spectrum. I honestly haven't delved into the library very much because most of it seems pretty shitty.

I forgot Treasure Island, which was also pretty rad
