Should I play this? Does it fix the silly censorship the NES version had? (Pentagrams replaced by triangles, church replaced by clinics). I also heard it doesn't dumb down the gameplay like the GBA version did.

>Nintendo censorship!!
It's even come to /vr/, god dammit
The GBA one is preferable but at the end of the day the games aren't very good. Start with FF3 on the NES

^ this. GBA isn't "dumbed down", they just made the leveling of stats and magic much less tedious, which is a GOOD thing. There's also the added "Soul of Rebirth" story after you beat it. But like the anon above said, at the end of the day they're really not very good. If you only plan on playing it just for the sake of beating it at least once, do the GBA version. Doing the PSX version is just ripping yourself off of many hours of time that could have been spent on a better game.
Hey /vr/, How d you feel about reproductions of NES games that are just way too expensive to by original? I was thinking of doing this for games like pic related because i'd rather pay for the labor involved to re burn an eprom, and that person would likely be a real /vr/ trooper and get the game for substantially less, even though it isn't a very expensive game.
Why not just get a flash cartridge or emulate?
Reproductions are shit and the people behind them scum.

I enjoy having some kind of physical representation of the game with its label also. Seeing it on a list on a menu screen along with a bunch of other roms half heartedly tossed on there because why not sucks the fun out of it for me.
>>2850521
that sounds really autistic
I was at my local game store the other day and saw this game called Rush n' Attack in the NES section and I was wondering if it was any good. I asked the clerk how good it was. He said that the game was okay. I also checked a game review on Youtube and it said the same thing. Now I would like some extra opinions from any of you guys who have played the game before.
it's fucking awesome.
Why don't you play the arcade version?
>>2850232
GTFO with this shit, he went to a store to buy a game, I assume he didn't buy a cab. unbelievable people on vr who must express themselves...faggotry.
When will Rondorks, Nintenyearolds, and Segafags finally admit that this is actually the best Castlevania game of all time?
>>2849303
what the hell is a rondork?
>>2849338
someone that believes Rondo of Blood is the best castlevania game
>>2849338
it's not hard to figure out Rondo+dorks
Where can I get the original Warcraft games?
It looks like Blizzard only sells the recent games and don't give a fuck about their classics but I'm still having problems trying to find a physical copy...
Is my best option piracy?
They haven't sold WC1 in nearly two decades now. They didn't even sell it in the box with WC2, SC and Diablo 1.
For WC2 you should try to get the Battlenet Edition.
used to love the 'head to head' box art of the old warcraft games. Anyone got a good copy of the pirate themed one?
Here you go anon

I need some more games with a deep story and the lore spans several centuries. Are there any more out there besides Xenogears?
SaGa Frontier's 2 plot spans several generations, divided between two major protagonists. The game doesn't adequately explain the backgrounds of certain key characters or concepts though. There are a lot of things you'll discover only by reading the Ultimania guide published at a later time.
Is xenogears worth playing at this point?
I'm curious to try it but I feel most 90s era jrpgs haven't held up too well.
>>2843875
Yes. It's still a good game, and doesn't need quality of life improvements beyond platforming sections that cannot be done while an encounter is loading.
What retro videogames do you consider to be overrated, /vr/?
This got old at least a year ago
Holy shit, you again?
Fuck off.
With the confirmation of System Shock 3, I think it's time we discussed the first two games.
Did you like 1 or 2 more? Personally I preferred the first because it focused more on SHODAN, whereas The Many took too much of the spotlight in the sequel. Also the hacking levels were leagues better in SS compared to the rather lame minigame that 2 had. I think the music and level designs were better in the first as well.
>>2842678
Three was confirmed? That's both a nice and terrible thing to hear. Hopefully they will give it the work deserving of such a pedigree.
>>2842678
I hope they make it more linear with awesome graphics
>>2842682
Some of the people working on it worked on the originals (as well as Thief and so on) so there is a faint glimmer of hope. But they are unproven in their current form.
Terri Brosius is essentially confirmed, since she's doing voices for their other game. Eric was involved with the recent SHODAN soundpack for Dota 2, so maybe she can drag him into this.
Fuck these guys
With a condom, hopefully!
I'll see myself out...
They look like they jump forward in a weird arc and are hard to avoid
I beat them with savestates, wasn't even that hard.
Mine would be Super Mario RPG HD with an arranged electronic/orchestra soundtrack, and 2d character models by Chris Niosi.
>>2841318
Why? Because of that Rawest Forest flash?
I don't hate Kirbopher but his art isn't great. It would be completely out of place for a Mario game.
Kirbopher is my favorite artist and animator ever. That's just my opinion, though. I agree, it might be kind of out of place for some of the game but Chris' art is amazing!
>>2841318
You must be underage as fuck... SMRPG is perfect the way it is.
LCD games are retro. Some of them, at least.
Are there any that /vr/ still plays... or collects?
I have a few of these. Anyone doing mods on LCD games? I think it's easy to do backlight and speaker mods, and a total conversion of the LCD screen to LED.
>>2840147
I love these but I wish they would update them
>>2840147
when i was growing up in tucson, i had one of these on my backpack but the gb was blue. kept me sane on my walks to school (with cd player + headphones) and was genuinely addicting.
Has anyone ever imported one of these? I remember there being a chocobo Tamagotchi-style mini-game in FF8, and being disappointed I couldn't play it.
I'm not 10 anymore, and no longer into virtual pets, but was there anything worthwhile with this peripheral?
>>2838692
You already mentioned everything the pocketstation was good for.
For what it's worth, the FF8 PC release came with a Chocobo's Journey app that replicated the pocketstation tie in.
>>2838692
Well I found this cover art, but I have no idea what it's about.
>>2838692
RRT4 (US ver) lets you trade cars via IR on the pocketstation
A lot of games that did use it are JP only though.
Best retro review websites you know of?
No youtubers or HG101 please - both of them are cancerous and the latter is literally the IGN of retro video gaming.
moby games and game faqs - for the search functions, I don't read message boards
tasvideos.org, SGDQ/AGDQ speedruns on youtube
mamedb, proggetto emma
vimm.net, emucr - for emulator news
warosu - for the /vr/ archive :)
>>2805110
Not really about retro game reviews, and there's no new content any more, but sydlexia.com has some decent articles on retro games. It focuses more on just retro games, tv and pop culture in general.
What makes HG101 retro IGN? I don't think anyone's paying them to make the retro games look better than they are. I'll agree that there needs to be more retro review sites though.
>>2805217
people repeat the shit they say like it's gospel, even when they are completely wrong
