Is it worth it to pay out the ass for an original and rare game like earthbound if you are just a person who loves retro and wants to experience the game on original hardware? Why not a reproduction cart? These carts seem like a viable alternative.
Is there any objective difference to playing a repro vs the real thing?

if you're getting a repro you may as well just get a flashcart.

I agree OP having eight extra lives is bullshit it only takes one.
Can we have an Intellivision thread? I never see this platform discussed on /vr/. Then again, anything from the second generation is rarely mentioned outside Atari 2600.

you can go ahead and post some stuff about it, but i guess people don't talk about it because they don't know much (if anything) about it
My creepy crack head uncle had one but I never got to play it. I was a colecovision kid myself, but I keep meaning to give the intellivision a whirl, at least for that neat looking pinball game it has.
It seems odd, but most people who are still interest in video games in their late 20s or early 30 grew up on third or fourth gen. People who were actually alive when second gen was relevant don't really care that much for the gaming industry, probably because lost interest after the gaming crash.
The fact that most so-called historians lump the 2600 and 5200 in the same generation category betrays a lack of interest in those consoles.
Which is the best of the original Mortal Kombat games in your opinion. Mine is Mortal Kombat 2 because of the varied stages, good music, and some of my favorite fatalities in the series(Kung Lao's hat slice being my favorite). Downsides for that game are lack of Kano and lack of Sub Zero ripping out spines. But what's your favorite?

mine is MK3, cause nostalgia factor and it probably played the best for the original MK games.
>>3305162
2 easily.
I never liked the dial combos and run button in 3 and it was much better than 1.
>>3305162
UMK3 for me. Played a bunch of MK1&3 on DOS as a kid and never played 2, but loved 3. Then Ultimate came out.

Don't remember. But Mario Bros/Duck Hunt and Gyromite with ROB were one of my first most coherent memories

I'll play anything. I don't care about pong consoles or anything though. Modern stuff is very very hit and miss but I enjoy some of it.
