Does anybody have a reputable source of good quality RGB Scart cables for retro consoles? Looking for a new source since http://www.ebay.com/usr/retro_console_accessories doesn't seem to be doing it anymore other than a few special requests. I don't trust these random chinese sellers
Wait for restock.
Or make your own.

She takes the store down from time to time; I doubt that she's taken it down permanently.
Alternatively, if you're impatient: http://www.retrogamingcables.co.uk/
Literally the greatest force in gaming that no one has heard of. This guy literally brings old games back from the dead.

Oh my fucking god shut the hell up grandpa.
So when did this board stopped being about grow up manchildrens and became hipster kids general.
SegaCD has ~150 games.
How many of these are "buttonal films" as opposed to real games?
Here you go scooter.

It was mostly just one company making the majority of them. I'd wager there's around 20ish including the anime fmv games as well. Might be more if you include the leaked isos/aftermarket releases.
The Sega CDs real problems were the lack of arcade games and Japanese support.
FMV isn't trash by definition, you can make a good game out of it. D, Myst, and that X Files game come to mind.
Is only Dragon's Lair clones that get old pretty fast.
Post your favorite game.
You know, that game you've sunk thousands of hours into. That game you think objectively tops all other games. That game you think nothing has come close to, even today.

Perfect blend of action, level design, music and sound, graphical art style, varied and strategic gameplay, modification ability built in by the creators, still has huge level making scene going strong constantly churning out quality content.

In my personal opinion, Doom's "art style" is more of a nostalgic and iconic thing than being genuinely amazing.
>>3049126
I don't feel that way. I think it strikes a perfect balance between giving enough detail to provide a direction, but leaves enough to the imagination to fill in the missing details.
It also gets pixelated up close and that's an aesthetic preference of mine, it always has been, even in the 90s. I lamented high resolution games of the mid-late 90s because they were all about "realistic" lighting of simple polygons with shitty texture smoothing.
Thief 2, and playing and creating its fan missions
Were there any games where you had customization options? I cant recall any old games who had more than maybe showing another weapon at the sprite. The only one that comes kinda close is RO with all the Headgear. Pic slightly related, the dye options they implemented later.
>see thread, don't read it all the way
>what the fuck is this RO shit in here
>oh
Anyway, you're right, I didn't play RO because it looked like a terrible Gaia Online Grindfest but I'm always excited to play a game and see that my main dude is wearing the armor I just spent a bunch of time grinding for
Well there were several games that had features to build your own levels. Some examples are Excitebike on NES, or Q Billion and Cattrap on Game Boy.

Ah i'm sorry. I know RO doesn't really belong here, but it has nice sprites, and it's the only thing i could thought of. And yeah it's really grindy but it was fun when i was 14.
Found out my Girlfriend had never played Super Mario Bros... ever. Booted my NES and watched her play it.
It was fascinating watching someone play something I knew so well with fresh eyes and learning about it how I would have all those years ago.
Anyone else had this experience?
My wife played video games for the first time when we got a Retron5.
It was an amazing experience but watching her 16 year old son play retro games for the first time and call them aged shit was even better.
I have a friend who is generally awful at platformers - including Mario (He frienquently has to bubble in New SMB) so watching him play it is LIKE watching someone play it for the first time.

>Found out my Girlfriend
I wish Chad Thundercocks would GTFO my /vr/
Beeeeooooooooooow

That horn on his head is for raping people in the anus.

Wasnt it Sega's most successful arcade game in America?
>>3048569
I spent hour playing it in the arcade with my bros.
The two end fight were cheap as fuck.
Did anyone else enjoy the shit out of this game? Still my favorite NES title.
inb4betterthanZelda
It's pretty good.
It's not better than Zelda though, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
I bought it from a video store when they decided to sell their business. It was $10 and the receipt said it was called Crusiolis.
Need recommendations for games,that would be easy to play on a phone with an emulator.Playing games like Mario with virtuals keys is a nightmare and almost an impossible task
Not retro.

I'm interested in same for GBC. Can we take the thread over for that?
>>3048243
Get fucked and die.
Which was your favorite? I think I actually preferred this one to Goldeneye for multiplayer, but I never see any discussion about it.
>>3047687
Das ist shiesse
>>3047687
The World is Not Enough N64 is arguably the best. Poorly coded game, but so much ambition and a real sense of Bond atmosphere. It is very similar to Nightfire.

Shoutout to the janitors
It's fun.
How the fuck were you supposed to know to go downstairs?
How the fuck were you supposed to know how to turn on the system? Let alone that you had to put the cartridge in it.
In fact, how were you supposed that you had to open your eyes in order to play the game?
I think I'd rather have the retron threads back instead of this dumbass /v/ meme.
Real Talk: I was actually stuck in the house for a while back when I first played it. I had no idea that the floor mat thing indicated an exit. This was as a kid in the 90s.
