When will this be more widely available? I would sell my soul to have this installed tomorrow.
I heard that badassconsoles is like the only approved professional installer, is that true? I don't mind the cost but they never fucking have it in stock
>>2927127
Wow really? I can send my console off to have some creeps mod it with their dirty dick beaters and all so I can play games on a a different kind of tv? You know what pass, I paid 15$ for a 32" crt with s-video and rgb.
>>2927190
What kind of 32" CRT has RGB in? A Mitsubishi?
>>2927203
Or anything with SCART, obviously?
Post songs that almost anyone can enjoy, please refrain yourself from posting 5+ songs from a single game just because you want a game to get more attention. Try to make sure that the song fits into "amazing tier" instead of just "good tier".

You guys play Popolocrois? I'm having problems finding a rpg(s) that's touched me the way this did.
Returning to thesecret roomat the end and remembering all that you've seen and done really did it for me.
Never actually heard of it before. Was it a PS1 game? Looks cute.
>>2925001
2 Ps1 games that were released as one PSP game in NA.

There's a sequel coming out on 3DS, right?
The art style looks cozy as hell. Is there anything else unique about the series?
We post games rarely talked about that deserve more love.
I'll start:
Bonanza Bros.
never heard of that, care to describe?
Adventure Island series

Sure! 1-2 players go thru different buildings(banks, factories, etc) stealing treasures while trying to avoid security guards, dogs, and rakes! Collect all treasures and reach the roof within the time limit to win the stage.
Adeleine vs. Relm. Who is the cutest retro loli painter?

Relm. I don't even know who the other one is.

He was in Dream Land 3 and Kirby 64 as a boss/friend.

Adeleine/Ado's a girl
Are youtubers bad or good for retro vidya?
>>2921454
Who cares.
Stop flooding /vr/ with off-topic threads.
Post comments about actual retro games.
>>2921457
Well, in one hand they can give games more exposition. On the other hand, some of their opinions get treated as gospel, making a whole audience to not bother to try a game.

Good for reseller jews
Bad for collectorfags
are there fundamentals to shmups like there are fundamentals to fighting games ?
or does it just come down to memory
i suck at shmups and i want to get better, still enjoying them though.
some of the basics are discussed here
http://www.sega-16.com/2005/04/unofficial-shmups-glossary/
honestly though this genre is completely devoid of skill
its pretty simple man
just go where the bullets aren't
Despite what anyone else may tell you, it's largely rote memorization. Not all shoot-'em-ups have the same design principles, though. Some series have more realistic difficulty curves than others, but series like Gradius? Entirely rote memorization. Konami series in general are notorious for that.
As someone who doesn't know a lot about fighting games, what is the difference between mainline Street Fighter and the Alpha series? Ostensibly they look pretty much the same to me. What makes it so different to warrant being an entire spin-off series? It just seems so weird to me that a company would release a spin-off game that plays pretty much the same as its main titles.
>>2919925
Basically, every Street Fighter is it's own series. That's why there's like 8 versions of SF2, 3- of SF3 and what now? 4-5 of SF4? SFA was originally "Street Fighter Zero" in Japan, and took place in between FS and SF2 (if I'm not mistaken), bridged the gap between the two plot wise, and became it's own series. And, much like every other SF game, each new entry effectively replaces the former versions.
Granted, SFA is a little different, because it uses a numbering standard,...

I could never get into SF2 even though I started gaming on the SNES, bu somehow Alpha 2 with the anime style really got me.
When games got the anime bug all throughout the 90's, it was glorious.

What's the most graphically impressive Genesis game?
...and how does it compare to the best looking SNES game?
Everything looks better on the Genesis, thanks to it's infamous blast processing.
Virtua Racing.
The cart had a built-in Blast Processor though. You could play it on a SNES and it would still be fast.

>what is sound slow down / issues

Who fucking cares. I like Bimini Run.
>>2914982
You do realize that the vast differences in speed between that hardware and modern hardware renders such input lag virtually non-existent on modern computers while emulating?
Like, there's LESS input lag and modern emulators like Higan add input lag to more accurately emulate the weaknesses of the machines the games were made for.

Super Mario Bros. 3 is a seemingly innocuous platformer game. In reality, it's a biting allegory of Man's relationship with God.
World 1 is Grass Land. It's an idyllic, easygoing place in an obvious reference to the biblical Paradise.
World 2 is Desert Land. It represents the original sin and exile from paradise, and the hardships endured by man.
World 3 is Water Land, an obvious allegory to the great biblical flood that purged the wicked but allowed the faithful to survive.
World 4 is Giant Land. Mario must face and defeat his giant...

Somewhere out there someone likes the way that looks. My brain is imploding.

My theory about Bowser being gay and desperately seeking attention from Mario is better.
Hey /vr/ I just got a Model 1 Megadrive today and could use some help.. So I plug everything in where it should be and scan channels. It finds 36 but when I go to play a game all I get is a black screen with a Sega Enterprises message on it and then just a black screen, The quality of the writing that comes on screen doesn't look to sharp either.. Can someone isolate the problem? So far I think it could be the RV cable but I cant be too sure since I haven't had one of these in over a decade..
Using Sharp HDTV and console is plugged into Ariel socket
IIRC the "Licensed by Sega" thing only comes up if the system detects a cartridge in the slot. If no image or sound comes up afterward it's probably either a bad connection between the cartridge and the slot or the cartridge itself is borked.

>scan channels

Stop.

Many thanks, I have ordered an AV cable to get around the problem, hope this works!

What are your favourite soundtracks, /vr/? Most emotional, most atmospheric, most badass, you name it.
For me my favourite ost of all time has to be pic related on the Saturn, not the genesis. Mediocre gameplay, but the soundtrack makes the game completely worth playing, in my opinion.
>>2925301
Genesis version has better OST imo.
Favorite OSTs: Outrun 2 coast 2 coast (I know it's not retro, but kinda related), Deus Ex, Sega Rally, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Snatcher
>>2925304
Is this a NiGHTS ripoff?
I haven't done a playthrough as Brujah or Gangrel yet. Is it worth it?
sure frend

Oh, the other Vampire game. That exists.
