Should I play PS1 games on PC or PS3?
>>3005518
i would imagine pc has more options with the emulators being able to tweak the graphics and such.
>>3005518
PS1 games on pc look great. Definitely the best option.
>>3005518
MSX is the most patrician console
It has 2 Metal Gear games, plus. The controllers are a little hard to find but if you look in the right places you will be happie playing 2 Metal Gear games, plus other classics, somebody wanna help me out here????
PS1 is the worst console ever graphics wise
One of those isn't retro.
>>3005534
You're a pretty lame person
>>3005507
Bianca is the only real choice desu. I mean, Deborah is really hot and Nera is really sweet but Bianca is the true wife.
>>3005507
I chose Nera because she'd make the best mother of my children. I cucked Bianca so hard. I don't care that she's your childhood friend I thought she was annoying.
I went to my local retro game store yesterday, it didn't go so well. A lot of games were pretty cheap, but they're all fairly common games, or games for six then consoles that everyone already owns, and they're all around the same price as you can find those things for on Craigslist or a goodwill.
They had a copy of Tales of Destiny 2, which was I think the rarest game they were selling. But they wanted $200 for it, saying that it was "Complete in Box". It had a jewel case, although it was obviously a new one, and actually didn't even have an...

the only retro store here is bullshit. 4x ebay price.
How the fuck have they been able to stay open for years I mean who the fuck buys anything from them? I understand they have to make money but what the fuck
>>3005441
the one i go to is similar, they sell more dvds and next gen games and phones etc than sega or nintendo games so i guess they mark up the price?
I really think there are some sellers who are so dead-set on the idea that their goods are rare and valuable that they'd rather close their doors than budge an inch on price ("for offer no lowball i know what the game is worth"). Every once in awhile some guy probably comes in and pays their ridiculous prices, thereby reaffirming their belief that all they have to do is wait long enough and that one special guy in the area who understands the true value of old games will come in and pay $60 for their sunfaded, "RICKY'S GAME" Super Mario Bros. 3...

Why does this faggot look so familiar to me?
Did they rip off the design from something?
Enemy design in that game was legit spooky.
>>3005321
It reminds you of your Yu-Gi-Oh deck...
Probably because it's a fairly generic design. I don't know, did you ever see this ad, by any chance? There's Doom Gaze on the left side doing the exact same pose.
Does Altered Beast take place in the same universe as Golden Axe?
@3005290
Your retarted
>>3005290
Nah, the appearance of the Altered Beast monster is just a cameo.
It seems like they're universally terrible.
hit and run
>>3005202
That was above average and the fourth-wall breaking jokes were not funny at all, and all the other jokes were just jokes from the series.Except the one in the credits
Bart vs the Space Mutants isinventive
>Well, another RPG, let's grab the english dictionar... HOLY SHIT IT'S TRANSLATED
anglos will never know this feel
I wished the games I had weren't translated.
Actually i'm grateful for playing RPG's in english so i can argue about games in english imageboards and play something else than the literally four retro rpg's translated in my language.
Even today in my country there's a massive butthurt everytime it's published a non translated game.
>>3005295
Nigga, are you from Europe? If yes, them I'm almost certain we come from the same country.
I thought it had a decent library but I hate that there's 40 fake games.
>>3005057
The sound quality is terrible and no saving. I got mine for xmas and having been shopping for somewhere to return it for a giftcard or something.
No sonic? He's on the box!
I saw one of these pieces of shit being played by a kid in a local department store on an lcd and it looked truly awful.
.
The Exodus game by far, because of dat fuckin' sword.
Genesis game is better. SNES version gets boring quickly but IMO looks better.
In a vacuum? Virgin. Compared to every other platformer of the same era? Capcom. Virgin at the time was cranking out game after game that all played the same, several of which were based on Disney movies.
Since P.T. has been revived, let's have a thread to discuss the first Silent Hill game.

P.T. has not been revived. A new collaboration has been suggested. It's probably going to be a new IP.
So this just came in the mail today /vr/.
I've only got composite cables to test but so far SNES has been proven to be a huge improvement over the previous TV composite connection I had it connected to.
N64 is giving me some minor trouble when I try to play in 720p with scanlines in 3D platformers in particular.
Both Banjo Kazooie and Mario 64 are giving me this issue when I come up against wall objects where it starts blinking and bluring when walking alongside it.
If I put it in 1080p which discludes scanlines it doesn't give me any problems.

Oh yeah, also, is there a preferred settings for all the different options I have for the thing?
I also find it interesting that it has audio volume control in the box too.
Update the firmware.
Please order proper rgb cables for any of your consoles that support them.
So are you using Windows 98 for your old games /vr/?
Do you have an actual machine or emulating it? What is your setup?
I am currently looking to get my hands on a Windows 95/98 computer, preferably a laptop or small desktop. I only want to play DOS games and 2D Windows games like Diablo, Starcraft and Simcity and stuff so I don't think I need any fancy Voodoo cards or anything like that.
How much chance do I have of finding one at my local car boot sale? On the one hand I'd expect 90's computers to be super common and dirt cheap these days, but on the other hand I'd also expect them to be fairly hard to find as most people probably assume they're completely worthless...

These mini computers look interesting

This game frustrated me. Is there a Dreamcast shooter game that is not so frustrating?
Giga wing 2 is way easier and also fantastic, it has unlimited continues and lots of unlockables tied to playing well, so you gradually get better but never get stuck at a wall.
Ikaruga is trash that shmup babbies like to hail as the best ever. You're better off playing something like Giga Wing 2 or Mars Matrix. My personal favorite though is Border Down, top tier hori.
Good news, our resident autists consider that an easy casual game.
Is this series any good? Gets hyped by Saturnfags all the time but they never give reason outside that it was popular in Japan.
>>3004461
iirc it's a dating sim / VN combined with a SRPG, and the setting is in in an all-girl elite military squad who pilot steampunk mechas.
That should neatly sum it up why it is popular in japan.
>>3004461
oh, and as for how popular it is, it was one of the best selling Saturn games, it got ported to PC and Dreamcast, and it got anime and shitload of sequels for a good ten years (I stopped paying attention circa Sakura Taisen 5 on the PS2).
So, one of the more popular Sega franchises that is not Sonic or Hatsune Miku or Yakuza.
>>3004481
But...is it actually any good?
Gameboy/gameboy color thread
I have been playing some gameboy games and have a new found appreciation for its library. I just finished for the frog the bell tolls/kaeru no tame ni kane wa naru and I'm playing megaman v right now, great games.
I've recently rediscovered pic related, and it's a crying shame that it doesn't get more recognition.
Also, could anyone explain to me what the hardware improvements the color had over the brick? It feels faster, but that might just be me.

Double the CPU speed, more ram.
>>3004420
And a color screen to utilize the extra cpu power.
