Why did the planet help Cloud out so much throughout the game?
>>2853494
What game?
>>2853494
Because of water vapor and condensation.

What are some of the earliest examples of 3D graphics in console gaming? Isometric graphics, prerendered sprites and mode-7 effects don't count. I mean full on 3D rendering with polygons.

We had a thread like this a while ago.

Star Cruiser.
Ranger X also had wireframe cutscenes, pretty awesome looking for such an old game (and without extra hardware).
Hi there /vr/. I'm thinking of buying these game but screwdrivers and a tri-wing screwdriver so I can take apart my games, and consoles go clean them. Would these screwdrivers be good?
http://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/371085566580
The only reason I am asking is because I just want to make sure they're not poorly made.
Look pretty standard in passing.
>>2849913
Those look exactly like mine.

Am I the only one who likes this game? Geez, what's so bad about tank controls anyways, I love it.

OP I had the PS2 version of Evil dead, I used to play it all the time but the CD was badly scratched up and it fucked with the sound
i really wish I could play it again
>>2849528
Ever play the original Alone in the Dark? It's pretty much RE's grandpa
>>2849536
Dude that game freaked me the hell out when I was 4
It took me forever to figure out what to do, no hand holding
Of the two great 2d controllers, do you have any preference for one in some kinds of games and the other for others?
I find the SNES's d-pad is stronger at games with only 4 directions as it snaps to them more precisely, well the Saturn rolls more easily for games that use 8 directions.
>>2847420
Can they be used interchangeably?
No. That's why your thread sucks donkey cock
>>2847420
For serious gaming, the Saturn pad is better in every way.
>>2847420
Both are really great.
I just wish 8bitDo made a wireless saturn pad.
I still like the saturn one more.
Starcraft Broodwars. The best rts game to exist. Who still plays it?
>The best rts game to exist.
That doesn't look like Dune II to me.
>>2843551
Didn't dune ii have those annoying questions it asked? Having to find the anwsers to the questions in some little book was a mammoth task for 5 year old. Dune I don't think it was any where near the best rts's but it was definitely one of the eairly games that helped define rts' s was fun to play to.
>>2843562
Copy-protection. Several DOS games enforced it. You can patch it out with tools like Universal Neverlock, or just download it with the copy-protection already patched out. I think MyAbandonware's download of Dune II is already patched.
So for those of you who play your retro games on emulators, do you use save states at all? Do you view them as cheating? I'm super shit at retro games and almost always end up using save states.
What I believe:
>If you use an emulator and DO NOT use the emulator features (slow down, speed up, save/load state), its basically the same as beating it on console
>If you use the emulator features, its basically like beating the game with cheats, and your "achievement" of beating it is basically nothing
Thats my feelings on it. Some games are actually more fun on emulator (like Ogre battle: MotBQ) because of speed up. Likewise, save states can be pretty useful in certain games or if you...

Yeah I'll sometimes save state in spots just to make it not tedious, not to make it easier. Like in Punch Out you usually have to beat a few boxers to get back to the boxer you were at before you lost, if it gets repwatetive enough I just save state right at the beginning of the boss, but never something save scummy like in between rounds or at a down or something
What are some JRPGs with interesting choices & consequences and roleplaying?
I'm curious to see what japanese titles got closer to the western counterparts in this sense
Rance series. Tons of choices on who to rape with varying consequences.
>>2837402
Langrisser and Growlanser series are well known because you can really cover the spectrum of alignements, in some of those you can even become the legit bad guy and even kill your former companions if you so desire, which is pretty great. The games are also chock full of choices which not only lead you to different routes and endings but also slightly alter the general route scenario as well.
The SaGa series is one of those games that pioneered the hard gameplay roleplay by letting your characters get stronger...

Dark Law is a minor title which feaures a neat stat system that tries to simulate real life standards in a way, each time one of your characters is KO'd you permanently lose one Stamina Point, Stamina is very important because it's used to calculate your movement range, status resistance and duration and also a few damage calculations, you might also lose other stats permanently making battles very tense, though later on in the game the difficulty goes down quite a bit.
Regarding quests, some scenarios...

Which game is better?? The original Castlevania 2, USA... The redacted version which was translated/redacted.. or the original Japanese version with battery save on the Famicom Disk Sytem???
>battery save
>Famicom Disk System
I don't think it works like that, bro.
>>2853570
Pls explain?????
U fuckin retard... the FDS version had a battery save feature,,, Explain yourself..... Wut the fuck you talkin about???
>>2853574
Not him, but FDS games didn't have battery backup because data was written to the disk itself.
I just recently found my copy of Final Fantasy VII in the attic and want to play it. The first disc is really messed up because I can't even get the first FMV to start. I tried that toothpaste trick that on the disc since I have used before on another CD and it worked. But when I tried it on Final Fantasy VII it didn't work as I hoped it would.
What other solutions or tricks have you people use when fixing old PS1 discs?
>>2849113
you wanna use a fine grit sand paper, something like a p240 to buff out the scratches
>>2849129
dont listen to this guy. what you need is some common toothpaste and steel wool. when your hands are bleeding thats how you know the disc is fixed.
Best Sonic music thread I guess? Which is better, Genesis Sonic 3D Blast or Saturn?
Does anyone know where I can get pure instrumental versions of Knuckle's tracks from Sonic Adventure 2? I love the music but the lyrics always make me cringe (inb4 not retro SA2 is on Dreamcast).

What are the chances Square Enix actually listens to fans and gives us a proper re-release?
I see people actually calling this Mobile and Steam port great looking and I just don't see it. Is it me, or is it them?

Good afternoon /vr/,
I have a Tribes 2 (Tribes Next) server up right now, since it was requested by a few people on the last thread I made (though it's not quite "retro"). And the plan is to cycle retro games servers for days of the weeks (maybe cover the weekend with one game, whatever most popular).
Right now I can host and join:
Any idTech1 game (Hexen, Heretic, Doom, mods, whatever)
Unreal
Tribes 2 (Using Tribes Next patch)
Noone Lives Forever (though I can't seem to find a command line option to connect through IP, and the server list is ded, can connect through hamachi or whatever)
Hexen 2 (through hamachi or what-not - doesn't seem to like connecting through a forwarded port for some reason, still trying to fix this)
Red Faction (using Pure Faction patch)
Open to suggestions. If auto cycling them per day gets too ADD maybe I'll switch to cycling them out per week or just on request.
Before I go through the trouble of finding other games to set up I kinda wanna see how this performs/if there's any demand for this sort of thing. So if anyone has Tribes (2) Next, the server name is VRTHUMPERS. And if you don't have it it's free, so go get it. http://www.tribesnext.com/
Lemme know your ping and location so I have an idea if my connection is suitable. It's just CTF on the default map cycle, 32 players I think...
My server room actually looks a lot less like pic related and a lot more like my living room with an XPS 630 tucked behind my couch.
This sounds both fun and very thoughtful of you, friend Serveranon. I will do my best to be of help if you need it, and hopefully get some games in as well.
>>2850864
>If auto cycling them per day gets too ADD maybe I'll switch to cycling them out per week or just on request.
Per week sounds like the best cause it gives everyone a chance to hop in at some point. There's nothing worse than finding out you were like an hour late to play multiplayer in a game you love with people here .
>>2850929
Thanks for the offer. Really just any suggestions or feedback would be helpful. My upload speed is just north of 2MB, so it should be pretty playable for anyone on the west coast, but hopefully suitable to east coasters too. Not sure yet, since this is my first venture into hosting for the most part.
A friend suggested Thievery UT, so I think I'm going to go for that, and maybe host a UT99 server with some of my dads old maps from ~1999/2000 thrown in the mix... Though Speck has a well liked server he posts around on 4chain, so I'd be competing.
>There's nothing worse than finding out you were like an hour late to play multiplayer in a game you love with people here
Fair point. I'll probably do that then, instead. I'd like to throw the necessary files on mediafire or something, but the legality of that is pretty shaky so I might just suggest some places to look and include basic directions to get the games to run (though I think most people on /vr/ could handle it themselves/it's mostly self explanatory)
