I am a little brother. My brother and I(roughly 10 or 11 years ago) get copies of blue and red version from a pawn shop.
We both start our games at the same time.
Skip ahead to choosing starter, we choose our starters without telling the other which one for balancing purposes.
He picks Charmander, and I chose Squirtle.
Skip ahead to Pewter city, we whip out our link cable. We fight, I lose to his Charmander, I get mad.
He tells me that I suck at video games. I power train my pokemon 'til I get to Celedon city.
Next day we fight, I wreck his team.

older brother to a little sister here
she always, always hated fighting. i think i turned her off of games by being too competitive when we were kids. she'd be proud of a high score then i'd beat it easily and tease her instead of encouraging her. i honestly regret that a lot, since she had great potential to be really good at games. (she was always clever and clutch; there was a time when she was better at tetris than i was despite me playing more often, for example.)
my advice to older siblings:...

I just beat Equinox for super nintendo.
It took me like 2 months.
It is an isometric action adventure game with 8 dungeons.
It is ridiculously hard. The puzzles use confusing perspective, pushing blocks, exploding blocks, levitating blocks that only levitate after you have been on them after like 20 seconds, blocks that begin to fall as soon as you jump on them, floor that pushes you in different direction, blocks that move piled over blocks that dont move, blocks that move piled over blocks that move piled over blocks that move, invisible doors, spikes, pushing blocks...

Who said it's ogre? Play Solstice.
You should feel good about yourself, I could never beat this.
What 2600 games do you really enjoy or find comfy? I played a lot of Pac-Man Jr as a kid and still find it amazingly fun.
Berzerk.
I was more of a Coleco kid.
>>2804752
Berzerk was a hell of a lot of fun! I also had a Colecovision but the weird mushroom like joysticks rubbed me the wrong way.
Hero
Literally one of the two games I own for the 2600, and it is golden.

Does any retro series do enemy design better than Castlevania?
Which one? SotN? The first?
The first was more about placement relative to the platforming. It flowed together well because you could generally move forward and strike pretty consistently without loads of weird pauses and hesitations. The second actually fell apart in that regard. The enemies didn't seem especially well designed outside of that.
>>2812792
How about Rondo of Blood? I've been playing through the series and it has my favorite enemy designs so far. I constantly find myself stopping to admire them.
>>2812806
I've only played the first two but I've been meaning to get around to the others. I kind of feel like I have an obligation to beat the second first before moving on to the third but it's just not my type of game.

As seen in this screenshot, Professor Oak's back of the head has scan lines. This is proof that Gamefreak intended Pokémon to be played with Scanlines instead of bilinear filtering.
Post your Pokémon scanline screenshots!
I wanna Ash's mom to sit on my face
Is this the new emulatorfag vs collectorfag thread?
More importantly, is that Ash's mom on a swimsuit?

Accidentaly broke one of the pins of my SNES. How bad is this? Do i need to replace the entire pin connector? How i know if i have a plug and play pin connector?
>>2811642
>How i know if i have a plug and play pin connector?
You take your SNES apart and if the pin connector unplugs from the mainboard you have a "plug-and-play" pin connector.
Why not just play it on emulator?
If you're planning on selling it to retro collector types and are worried about sales price, just don't mention the missing pin.

Nice useless response, m8.
Is there any multicarts or similar for MSX?
otherwise MSX general.

Quit pushing your shit thread onto everyone. People are entitled to make their own threads.

His "shit" thread has been the last bastion of hope for this toilet since he started doing them a couple years ago. Show some respect, faggot.
Handheld discussion thread
Someone came up with a similar concept to the SEGA nomad for the SNES. It was essentially a portable console with a display called the supaboy. It probably had waaay better battery life.
rechargeable battery -5 hour
Composite video/audio output Headphones 2 x game controller
ac power adapter when you plug it in to an external display.

I decided to play through some of the Settlers series. Is the first game worth it? I saw some videos and it doesn't look like it aged well. I'm currently playing the gog version of Settlers II HD and it's pretty fun, but I'm having to rely on the manual a little.
>>2811070
1 is trash, 2 is good, 3 is alright, as is 4.
Ultimately it's an average slow-paced series
>>2811086
I meant Gold, not HD
Settlers 3 and 4 are the coziest games I've ever played in my life. Nothing like watching those little fatties build their villages while you drink some cocoa and it's snowing outside.
What are some playstation games that don't need memory cards?
>>2810942
Crash Bandicoot 1 has a password system
Rayman
I remember renting a Playstation and Resident Evil and trying to play it without a memory card. Good times.

is there any /vr/ system with such limited sound capabilities that I can play acceptable sounding music on a 25 key keyboard?
I don't actually know what I'm doing but I want to make music.
This poll was on Shadman's site. What the fuck is wrong with these people?
Amazing absolutely no one, the newer generation prefer newer things over the old.

>Each new game is more popular than the last
Woah its like Bethesda has been pushing the series more and more with each new installment, bringing in new players every single time.
>people with bad taste in porn also have bad taste in video games
color me surprised
>Nintendo Power did this as an ad campaign for Earthbound
>Kids in the 90s saw and probably mistook it as "this game is shit" and avoided it
>This was probably the reason it sold like shit in America
Now that I think about it I can probably care less that they're dead now. Fuck Nintendo Power.
you know it was intentional right?
for much the same reason that the conductor for the children's choir for the mother vocal album instructed them to sing "lie, lie, lie"
