Never played a Bubble Bobble game but I know that it's got a ton of ports. Is there a "definitive" version or are all the ports basically the same?
>>2909825
Can't recommend the arcade version enough.
>>2909873
Basically this. It really is the best.
I'll also recommend the c64 version. Slightly worse graphics due to wide pixels, but plays exactly the same. Where it beats the NES is by having a very good title song. NES only has the in-game music. I know the DOS version also has this song. Did any other version?

And stay the FUCK away from Bubble Bobble Neo on xbox360. It's by far the worst version I've ever played. By... FAR!
While we're at it what are the best versions of the Puzzle Bobble (Bust-A-Move) games? I'd assume console since most of them have extra levels and stuff. Also, did the arcade versions of actual analog controls or were they just digital sticks?
What was there best game and why was itJohn Madden Football '93?

THIS HAS NO PLACE IN VR. DELETE PLZ.
David Bowie, best known for being the voice actor in the 1999 Adventure Game Omikron: The Nomad Soul has passed away.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzbKjSgvcdwDid he actually have any other presence / influence in retro games?
THIS IS HOW I FUCKING FIND OUT A THREAD ABOUT OMIKRON FUCK YOU OP

Hardly OP's fault that you're an ignorant cunt, is it now?

Looking for good chiptune players, for SPC and NSF.
I’ve been using winamp plugins for years, but i figured there should be something better by now.

Anyone else played this? It's surprisingly pretty good.
>>2909408
I was about to say an emphatic yes, but then noticed the Gameboy. Didn't even know a GB Rayearth existed.
The Saturn game is fantastic though, and gorgeous. I've played the hell out of that one.
>>2909418
It's actually a pretty good fun dungeon crawler. You should try it out.
Play this? What even is it? I don't read Japanese Op. Fuck.
I guess this topic will be retro enough :P.
I am searching the Doujin Game called "R + R " for the X68k from Nin- Nici .
Searched for this friggin Gameimage for a whole day now and can't find it. Can somebody help me?
It's part of this big X68k shooter set: https://mega.nz/#!AoYnWIqY!gQuukAi1QMV5XYMw8JLSwp2FfcH1jOyS3ewU2sxSRe4
This and other arcade-style games on the system really need loving.
Great Thanks! This will set my x68000 on fire! haha
>>2909332
don't guess. thanks.
Do you like Puyo Puyo?
Are you good at it?
I always loved this game ever since I first played it under the name "Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine" and later found out about the actual original version, Puyo Puyo 2 on Megadrive.
Something about Puyo Puyo really clicks with me, I kind of enter a trance state that's very relaxing but exciting at the same time.
Often when I play Puyo Puyo before going to bed, I keep "playing" in my mind when I close my eyes before falling asleep, my brain is still chaining puyos.
But I never really...

>I seem to remember the Robotnik game was a bit easier than the original Puyo Puyo 2, but I'm not sure.
Mean Bean was based on the first puyo puyo and it was significantly harder due to the AI being more merciless, the inability to rotate blocks unless you had space for it, and the lack of counter system (whoever built a screen-filling combo first, won).
Puyo Puyo 2 allowed you to rotate blocks when there was no space to do so, like a 1-block narrow pit. This also allowed...

>Do you like Puyo Puyo?
Yes
>Are you good at it?
No. I bet if I played it more I would get better but I'm honestly not that invested in it, I mostly just like it because of the Madou Monogatari characters.
>>2909373
>I mostly just like it because of the Madou Monogatari characters.
I want someone to make a CNX format compresser, so I can translate shit in the Saturn Madou Monogatari and Waku Puyo games.

>Just beat Quake 2
I am so late to the party it's not even funny...
>>2909252
The single player was pretty atrocious in Quake 2. The only saving grace is the stellar soundtrack.
>>2909261
I thought the single player was pretty good. The soundtrack for me was the weakest part. A real step backwards from the quake 1 soundtrack.
Meathead metal chugging just doesn't give the same great atmosphere.
>>2909261
What. I liked it a lot. It added a lot more varied environments than Quake 1, so you could make out where the hell you were at all times. Now, Quake 1 had better pacing for sure, but I like the single player in Q2 as well.
What are some good Sega CD games I can get complete for under $30?
As of now I only own Sonic CD and Sewer Shark.
All of them
Heimdall
>>2909237
This, really. You're going to be paying an arm and a leg for any of the decent Sega CD games at this point.
I know well the pain of having a Sega CD and pretty much just Sewer Shark. I think there was a time my Stockholm syndrome was so bad I almost didn't hate it.
Hello, i plan on buying a Japanese Gameboy color online, can you recommend me some good website where i can find that kind of product ?
>>2909114
eBay
Why does it have to be Japanese?
>>2909119
Gameboys are not zoned and japanese people generaly take good care of their stuff so it's easier to find cheap and good consoles from Japan.
Beside ebay do you know some specialized wesite ?

After seeing the AGDQs I decided to play this game for the first time. I have played Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker and my favourite Link's Awakening plenty of times already, but somehow I just cannot seem to get into it.
It starts so slow and I always lose interest once I am inside the castle right at the beginning. I have tried plenty of times now to get past it, but I just feel restless and give up, like it's not really worth it.
I do want to see the mastersword rest forever, but the beginning is just so incredibly dull. The other Zelders I mentioned...

I always found it massively dull and stretched out and not as good as the first two or Link's Awakening so I guess I'm missing something too.
>I always lose interest once I am inside the castle right at the beginning
So, what, that's like three minutes?
>>2909090
Takes like 1 minute to get in there from the start of the game.
What do you think about this gem /vr/?
that's not a gem that's a video game
I love Binky
>another garbage NTSC cover
I don't even know what this shit is. It's not the artstyle of the game, books, or the animated show.
> ITT: Great games that don't get enough love
> no meme-games edition
Fans of this game already remember the title screen fanfare music.

>>2908617
How is anybody supposed to be able to read that?
Nor pronounce it, for that matter.
How about Crystalis?
I think its somewhat more popular on /vr/ but overall man this game is overlooked. Like a much better polished Zelda with light RPG elements and some post-apocalyptic influence in the setting.
>>2909161
If you see they did rewrite it in plain text underneath... in Japan it was called Arabian Dream: Scheherezade.

If you could play five (5) SNES games while stranded on an island for an indefinite amount of time, which would they be?
>Terranigma
>Super Metroid
>Final Fantasy IV
>Top Gear 2
>Megaman X, sorry Earthbound
>>2908584
Super Metroid
Donkey kong country
Secret of Mana
Chrono Trigger
Secret of Evermore
>>2908596
I'm ashamed to say I never played Secret of Evermore. Where would yo rank it among Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger?
Or was your post in order of importance?
>>2908604
If looking through my own biased eyes then evermore is at the top because that's what I have played at my childhood. But objectively I'd say Chrono Trigger is at the top and Mana/Evermore both take the last two places in no order because it's hard to say. Both have their own quirks/story/etc. Althrough both are epic games. You should play evermore
