Why no love for early video game mascots? Has /vr/ completely forgotten about series like Pac-Man and Frogger, or have they just aged that poorly?
Pac-Man did spawn a number of decent platformers in the '90s, although they might have been largely overlooked. And Frogger got a nice reboot during the fifth generation, the first 3D Frogger title being one of the highest-selling games for the PS1 overall. So it seems strange that I've never encountered any discussions about these series here on /vr/.
>>2941992
This was one of my first PS1 games.
I also had that weird "Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge" game.

Anyone else here a completionist when it comes to retro games? Where do you draw the line? Max level? Min-maxing stats? 99 of all equipment?
I'd be curious how some of you guys approach games that don't have entirely clear objectives for a "perfect" save file, like RPGs with mutually-exclusive quests or multiple alignment paths. Games like Elder Scrolls, for instance.
When I play the original Warcraft I can't help but strip the entire map of wood and gold before I finish the mission
I need to beat all the secret/super bosses
that's the main thing really
if I have the option of an easy fight or a hard fight I'll always take the hard way every time
Mainly just play and beat the game. I always go for the hardest difficulty setting and absolutely no cheating or shortcuts. And if there are bonuses such as secret things you can unlock, i have to unlock them all.
Why did they make memory cards for the N64? Why did some games require it for saving?
Devs that cheaped out having a battery on the cartridge.
Think it was suppose to be for large save files.

Why did you post this thread again?
Ok so I come back to /vr/ after several months and now everyone is rude and meemin' it up.

The old userbase got sick of replying to the same old threads and moved on. I suggest you do the same.

/v/ has ruined /g/, /vr/, and is ruining /a/. What board will /v/ ruin next? Is any board safe?
What are some good N64 games? Also N64 general I guess
>>2939521

Also Poke'mon Puzzle League

duke nukem forever is pretty good
Doubutsu no morisilly OP
Can anyone tell me what the combo device was that had a Sega Genesis built into it? It was either an early DVD player, or a later VHS player that had an extra slot, remember seeing one on eBay a while back but didn't same the damn model or anything. I really want to add it to my collection even if it was a VHS player (still have tapes).
There's the Laseractive, which is a Laserdisc player with plug-in Genesis addon (sold seperately). If you saved your laserdiscs and have 1k to blow (plus extra for the Megadrive addon), its a functional thing. You also can't play Sega CD games on it.
>>2939081
There was the Amstrad Mega PC, a licensed 386 rig with a built in Genesis
A relative of mine was cleaning out a shed, and gave me some games she found.
I got Doom on snes, Double Dragon 2 on nes, and This Is Soccer 2005 on ps2.
How did I do?
>>2939023
Double Dragon 2 is pretty good.
>>2939023
Many people don't realize Carmack himself did the SNES port.
That being said, its the only slightly beter than the 32X version. Its damn near unplayable.
>>2939224
now imagine how bad it would have been if he DIDN'T have a hand in the port...
Hey /vr/, I'm trying to re-learn Spanish. However, no one around me speaks it except for my mom. What're are some RPGs with good Spanish translations, official or fan-made? Figure it'd be a fun way to get back into the language, on top of practicing speaking it.
I heard Dragon Quest 4 had a great official translation. Also see that DeJap has a Spanish translation for Tales of Phantasia.
Any recommendations would be great. Thanks.
>>2938913
Most popular games have fanslations in Spanish.
I'd recommend something with a simple plot like Mother 2.
I implore to learn real Spanish some Spain and not the nigger-tier Latin American version.
>>2938920
>some Spain
I meant:
>from Spain
Why would you want to learn spanish?
What is your opinion on bar arcades? Really only kind of bar i like now. awesome old games and it's easy to ignore people.

>>2938216
We have one here in town that I want to hit up. I'm just sad because it looks like they have the World Warrior version of SF2 instead of at least Hyper Fighting.
Any place that has arcade games is fine by me.
>>2938216
Something about having that movie playing bugs the shit out of me
Defend this game
No.
Music was ok https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJRGbHLahJ4
Which e-celeb talked shit about this game? This is an all time classic.
Am I the only one who could never get past 6th place on this game? I mean I was literally as the announcer said "so terrible". Couldn't adapt to the trick system either yet I'm a beast at Tony Hawk games.
Coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll BOARDERSSSS !
>hit start
here we go
>>2937259
I get you.
For so many years I sucked at this game.
Then, one day, something just "clicked" and I started playing seriously and using the square button in a better way (if I recall correctly, that's the one used for drifting).
For tricks, I do what I always do in every single game: button mashing.
>>2937259
I beat this one with all the characters as a 9 year old.
When I tried it recently the controls blew my mind. The half pipe is sick if you know what you're doing though.
Hey vr.
When i was a kid i was allowed to choose one game by my parents.
I took extreme g even though i didnt know it. Played this game really often and love it untild today.
Its really fast has an uncommon soundtrack and a good difficulty level.
Im not really a fan of tron and i neither played f-zero as kid but this was perfect for me.
Did you played it as kid or recently andwhat do you think about it?
>>2929643
I played it as a kid, it rules. All the different bike... vehicle... things were really cool, the soundtrack was good, and you go fast as hell. It got pretty hype too, the stages were neat. My brothers only ever wanted to play the battle mode though, I thought the actual races were way more fun.
Any idea if the sequels were good? Anyone?
>going so fast you break the sound barrier
so fucking good
soundtrack was good
sequels were all excellent, building on the franchiseLOOP-DE-LOOPS

Ive recently been playing Metroid 2 and this game is pretty great
But what are some other good GB games?

SaGa 1 & 2 (Final Fantasy Legend 1 & 2)
Super Mario Land 2
Wario Land series
Link's Awakening
Final Fantasy Adventure
Pokemon
Gargoyle's Quest
Ghosts 'n Goblins
>>2929402
It's the worst of the three Metroid games, for sure, but it's still easily one of the best GB games.(I refuse to acknowledge anything after Super Metroid.)

I'm going to be very lazy and just say "start with the WADPAKs", they're not perfect but they're a good selection.
