I know an anon tried last year but no one wanted to do it.
Should we try again? Would anyone be interested in spreading some holiday cheer?
Could be a good excuse to get rid of some doubles to a friend.

Find any Fighting game thread on /vr/.
That's how.
I mean, I have a nomad that's completely working. It's a bit beat up, but I don't use it and I want it to go to a good home.
>>2792351
I don't really know how to organize something like this but I'll think about it.
I have some stuff I'd like to see go to a good home too, like a Gameboy Colour with Pokemon Silver (and some random games) and an extra copy of Silent hill on PS1.

The only non-smash Fighter I've *ever* been good with was Killer Instinct using Cinder. Easiest combo ever, >>Y then keep pressing > and Y. Strings into a 20+ hit combo, only doing that.
>>2790934
I hate the perception that Fighters suck cause there's too many combos. If I spend half an hour to an hour in practice mode with one character I can get at least 75% of the command list memorized.
if you could revive one failed mascot platformer, as in one that never hit big leagues in the first place, which would it be
examples: Rocket Knight, Bonk, Ristar, etc.
not examples: Banjo, Crash, Spyro, and other deceased but formerly notable mascots
No retro game deserves to be raped with DLC, pre order incentives, patches, kickstarter, or micro transactions.

GIVE ME BACK MY INNOCENCE
>>2785875
I can't look at old games on tube TVs anymore now that I've seen how amazing they look in HD. Sometimes you just can't go back anon.
All caps "GIVE ME BACK MY INNOCENCE" could replace a good portion of the posts on this board without even affecting the conversation.

I like Ragnacenty more than I like ALttP to be honest. Horribly underrated.
Also - Golden Axe Warrior and Golvellius.

Are the Dreamcast versions of Resident Evil 2, 3, and Code Veronica the best? I hear they display health status and ammo count on the VMU, which sounds awesome. Also, Resident Evil thread I guess.
this might help, I don't have anything on re1 and 3 though.
I would say the Dreamcast versions are pretty great. As you can see the N64 version has it's unique items, but I think the Dreamcast's Nightmare mode is better than the item randomizer, and that the Ex Files, while neat, are something you can just read online.
The other qualities are things you need to decide yourself, but the choice is probably between the Dreamcast and N64 versions.
Also, don't be afraid to play a few different versions. After you get any good at them you can really speed through them. In RE without even trying that hard I was...

while I do have lots of nostalgia for ALttP, objectively it isn't very good.

Grab some hot cocoa, warm milk, a beer, some whiskey, whatever lights a gentle campfire in your heart, and get comfy
Just got home from a full day of work and school, started up some Super Metroid (lost as fuck in Maridia), comfy levels rising. Flashcarts are great.

I stick exclusive to handhelds for my retro comfy, I just can't get comfy around my CRT
>>2777779
That's alright anon, to each his own. What are your favorite handheld comfy games?
I find adventure games really comfy to play at my lonely and boring night shift. So far I've just played KQ4, Loom and Monkey Island (halfway through it), but I'm having a great time, and I never got to enjoy these games as a kid, so it feels pretty great overall. Wonder if I'll be able to enjoy "talkie" ones like KQ5 or Day of the Tentacle, since I have to play them at low volume.

SO YOU WANT TO PLAY SOME PINBALL FAGGOT?
First you gotta have some things to play it with.
If you want some real deal pinball, https://pinside.com/pinball/map/where-to-play
If you can't go to any of those for any reason, there's pinball simulators.
http://pinballarcade.com/ is a widely popular one that simulates a bunch of classic tables but you either have to pay out the nose for DLC or torrent the damn thing.
http://vpuniverse.com/index.php/index.html is another one, requires a bit of fucking around but once you get it running you get all the free pinball you could ever want
Now there's some extra doohickeys if you need something extra.

Let's hope we can keep this going. The last thread lasted a long time. My league scores sucked balls tonight, but at least I got to shoot the shit with the old pros for hours on end. Also got that awesome glitch/possible easter egg on NES pinball where if you score high enough, the flippers turn invisible. Such a weird game.
What are the hardware system requirements to run PhysMod5 tables with Visual Pinball?
>>2711529
Not much really, I used to be able to run it on my laptop, but I haven't tried it again. It's more than VP9 was, but that really wasn't terrible. Give it a whirl and see for yourself.
Is there a site somewhere that helps people find other retro game enthusiasts, or retro electronics clubs, or something of that nature? It would be cool to meet like-minded people and play or learn cool stuff, especially how to repair stuff.

Look up conventions in your area. There's a retro convention near me called the Midwest Gaming Classic, it's a really chill event where people bring a shitload of arcade machines and play them and talk about retro games. Look what up what's your area.
The Seattle retro gaming expo was all hipsters, industry types looking to network, and wannabe youtube celebs passing out business cards. The only good thing was the vendors.
I recently got to play a virtual boy for the first time, so I decided to look a little more into how it worked since all I knew was "spinning mirrors" and was shocked to learn it only has a 1x224 LED array in each eye. So am I understanding this correctly, the LEDs just refreshed so fast that the mirror effectively acted as a buffer while it was rotating, reflecting the image into your eye one row of pixels at a time, 50 times a second?
I dunno, but the little things broke on mine, the right eye at least. It gets weird graphical glitches often and I don't know what to do. Already tried the oven fix a few times now.

What does /vr/ prefer? Jewel cases like the PSone and the Dreamcast or keep cases like everything after the 2000?
Jewel cases, though longboxes are so deliciously old school.
I kind of dig those old long saturn boxes
>>2794285
I adore PS1 style jewel cases, but if I absolutely had to choose, I'd go with the PS2 style DVD cases, out of sheer practicality. But it'd HAVE to be PS2 specifically, because those were high quality and had good weight, unlike the anorexic 360 cases and shoddy generic DVD cases.
