This game is too short. This is the problem with Super Metroid as well, as soon as you get the most powerful weapons, the game ends.
>>2877545
Also the battles are slow. The SNES was capable of more, there could be a tiny bit more strategy in enemies besides just looking at the same techs over and over. I shouldn't be dreading fighting, I should relish fighting.
>>2877545
CT wasn't too short. The flaw CT had was it was too easy, I didn't upgrade my weapons or armor much, just had to get my techs up and each boss was no sweat.
No one fucking cares about your shitty millenial opinions.
What are some of your favorite Gameboy games /vr/?
>>2877081
Are GB color games fair?
>>2877106
This is a very comfy game
Avenging Spirit
Hey /vr/, I just picked this thing up for Chrimus and it's capable of emulating anything from the Dreamcast backwards with only minimal slow down for the later gens.
So, general retro game recommendation thread? I wanna fill this thing with the good stuff.
>>2876454
what kind of games do you like
>>2876456
Some of my favorites include any Mario RPG game, DK64 (though that doesn't emulate properly), Wario Land series (especially 4), Tetris Attack, and Troddlers.
But then again I'm open for trying new stuff, which is why I made the thread to begin with.
>>2876454
oh hey it's this shill again. this handheld is absolute crap and all regulars here already know it. happy holidays.
/vr/ I have a question
Everyone loves Half-Life.
Which adventure through Black Mesa did you like the best? Freeman's? Shephard's? Calhoun's? Cross and Green's? Share!
Replaying the Half-Life series. I'm in for a long haul.
Shepard easily. Who gives a fuck about the dumb story OpFor delivered the best action and didnt have too much bullshit. Also best weapon variety
>>2875974
The original game got it right imo. None of the expansions managed to click with me as much.
>>2876108
I'll admit, the one expansion that just had me wondering why the story was going on was OpFor. Suddenly Race X so Shephard had a boss was kinda dull. But at least he got a boss, unlike Calhoun, Cross, and Green.
Pac Man, Pac-Man or Pacman?
>>2875887
Come on now, was that so hard?
paki man
>>2875887
Why is Pacman CEDX+ so good?

Your opinion on KARATEKA?
This here.
Never played it, but I know my friend hated it so much as a kid that he literally threw the cart to the trash bin.
Also it's Hideki Kamiya's favorite western-developed game.
I like it. I played a bunch of dojin and porn dojin parodies back in the day that were better than the original. I think one of them feature tifa and the sequel morrigan or some shit. But alas NOT RETRO.
Can I have some retro video game wallpapers for my new phone?
>>2875850
Here's a fav
>>2875850
About to start this for the first time ever. What am I in for? Any optimal party setups?
Any party is good, you just need to accept that magic is inferior for healing
Frog is amazing, but all are epic to use. Just happen to think frogs are badass. I usually use Marle, Chrono and Frog but occasionally switch Marle with robo or Lucca just because I love them. Haven't used cat girl aayla as much but also haven't beaten it yet. Absolutely love it in all honesty. Definitely worth the classic status it recieved.
You're in for basically everything good about an SNES RPG being represented in some way.
What is the retro gaming console with less violent video games, and very more games for all ages and all audiences?
the tiger gamecom wait that induces user violence
>>2875691
no, it has to be a console, which has almost no violent games.
Moreover if you have no violent game, and all games are for all age groups best for me
I remember you made this thread before.
The only answer is: just don't buy games with violence if that bothers you.
So, playing these things on a Windows 7 machine seems nothing short of a nightmare. Dos games can be made playable with Dosbox, but when it comes to games that were specifically made for Windows, am I shit ton out of luck on making them run on a Windows 7 modern machine?
Good christ, all I can do at this point is pray there's a GOG version because I cannot into computers.
I just want to play some fucking Shivers and this goddamn machine updated its own damn self to Windows 10 a few months ago - which is a better system for everything except the games.
>>2875523
Yeah, pisses me off since I wanted to get down to some adventure games I missed back in the day.

Is this objectively the best Snes game?
No. Fuck off.
It's not. But it's my fav
That's not Chrono trigger senpai.
Other than G.G. Shinobi 1 and 2, what are some recommended Game Gear games?
>>2875426

some other good ones
sor2
power rangers 1 and 2 (try it before you knock it)
GG aleste 2
vampire
wonder boy
columns
jurassic park
Devilish
>>2875498
I am seconding Jurassic Park.
Is there a way to accurately tell if a game you bought is a reproduction?
Obviously people are able to put romhacks and translations on a cart and sell them on ebay for $80 and of course that's a dead giveaway to anyone even remotely familiar with those games, but what about other games?
How do you tell if someone just popped the chips out of a copy of Lester the Unlikely and rewrote the chips and printed off a new label and called it Hagane?
>>2875279
unless you're a collector you shouldn't care
>>2875279
They usually look like the pic you posted. It's not hard to tell, but the best way to know is if it is ridiculously cheap compared to a real copy.
>>2875319
Idiotic response. This thread isn't for you, kid. Poor person detected.
What screen do you guys play your old games on? CRT? 4:3 LCD? 16:9 LCD? For you LCD users, what upscaler are you using?
I felt the need to hook up my Saturn so I picked up a cheap Chinese "Panlong" upscaler. My monitor wants to stretch 1024x768 to 16:9 for some reason, so I'm looking for a used 4:3 LCD screen like an old model Dell Ultrasharp.
I'm not looking for perfection; I'm not going to spend the money on a Framemeister. Just want it to be decent. I'm curious what you guys use for your setups.
>>2875267
I use a 42" RCA 1080p 60hz with a Framemeister. This TV is amazing when using a Framemeister. The 240p test suite records only 0.04 frames of lag!
I kept my old CRT TV that I got in '99.
CRT is by far the cheapest option
So, I've found this Atari in my basement and I want to know what version is that, I know it's a 2600 but I can't find no picture of that model. It's not the Darth Vader because it just have 3 buttons.
>>2875001
I'd say it was probably a demo unit considering it has hardwired controllers
