Is this how /vr/ raises their children and feeds them with retro games instead of old musical artifacts? I hope not. I hope you let your children in peace and let them enjoy gaming and don't torture them with NES hell or other similar torture devices of the old age. Just because you had a hard childhood growing up with these mess of consoles, you don't have to force it onto your children. NES and other is a dying relict for the modern age, no child would bear to play through these games because they look ugly, their unfair and they're no fun. There is literally...

WE DIDNT HAVE CARS GROWING UP, SON YOU BETTER WALK 8 MILES TO SCHOOL EVERY MORNING LIKE I DID
>n64
>good
Pick one
>>2759393
I grew up with the N64 and I can safely say it's not as good as everyone my age remembers. It was just a clear drop in quality.
I never got lucky enough to get the Crissaegrim to drop. Does it really break the game as much as everyone says?
Yes, although the shield rod already breaks the game a lot.
>>2759268
Yes. It's fun for the first 30 seconds, and then you realize how stupid it makes the game.
Yes. I have no idea what the fuck they were thinking. They could have at least made it a mythic rare drop but no, I got it just by random chance the second time I played through.

This thread is for the spirited discussion of CRT displays - Televisions, monitors and projectors used for the playing of retro games!
>Try to keep it /vr/-related: Nothing past 5th gen(+Dreamcast). Slight OT might be okay if related to CRTs (E.G. 16:9 compatible models, flatscreens, etc.) Systems with backwards compatibility are also pretty safe territory, assuming you're focusing on the older games. PC CRTs are also a-ok.

Patriot for the win.
Blood is the best FPS ever.

What is the best way to experience the Might and Magic series?
>>2758350
the best way is to play it
There is a bit of an overarching story that you can appreciate the most if you play them in release order together with the Heroes of Might and Magic game.
The problem is that from 3 onward the games are extremely casual while 1 and 2 are more for experienced players.
Start with HoMM2.
Then M&M6.
Then HoMM3.
Then M&M7.
Then M&M8 if you want to.
Then, if you're sold on the concept, M&M3-5.
If you just want the roleplaying part, M&M6-8 in order.
Thoughts & opinions on Sonic CD, /vr/?
Literal 10/10
The remake sucks because it added unnecessary Sonic 2 physics, and got rid of the time reset mechanic.
Ports on PC Windows and GC/PS2 also suck, the only good version of Sonic CD is the original on Sega CD.
Also JP soundtrack is superior, but US also has a good music (Stardust Speedway is better in US ver.)
>>2758120
>time reset mechanic
What are you talking about exactly?
>>2758120
>unnecessary Sonic 2 physics
How much does that affect the actual gameplay, besides Chaos Collision not being too literal?
Do you guys know if there any retro games with half naked men? Like pic related
Dont judge me please. Theres plenty with half naked women. I just wanna know

Great thread, op.
Is there even a single worthwhile game on the Atari 2600? Not something you play just to get some historical knowledge about games but something fun you would even nowadays buy the 2600 for.
Be honest.
I have barely seen any atari game related threads on this board since creation while the next generation of video games directly after the atari gets discussed daily on here.
>>2755404
Berzerk is pretty cool
the sound effect are the best part of it
>>2755404
Hero is a blast
solaris is fun
berzerk is cool
Indy 500 is pretty good if you can get the paddles. Pitfall is fun.
I enjoyed the premise of the game. I enjoyed the combat system, but after getting to day 3 I just couldn't be bothered to sit through anymore of this game.
>fuck its dialogue
>fuck its forced exposition
>fuck how linear it is
>fuck how goddamn hidden item containers are
>fuck its limited inventory bullshit
The premise piqued my interest to the point where I'm considering checking out the book....

git gud pleb
parasite eve is fucking easy
Parasite Eve is a really good game... are you underage, OP?
I also didnt finish it but only because of the final escape.
Who the hell thought putting a one touch kill escape segment AFTER the final boss, without a chance to save, was a good idea?
Having to sit through the load screens, cutscenes and both forms of the final boss to attempt a trial and error puzzle can kiss my fuckin wrist.
Times killed fighting the boss: 1
Times killed escaping the ship: 4 before I put it down and havent even opened the jewelcase in fifteen years.
Great game leading up to that point too.
A lot of people hear about why the N64 was difficult to program, but might not understand why. On paper, the system seems fairly simple, it's only got three components (CPU, GPU, one allotment of unified RAM), and no crazy parallel processing systems like Saturn or PS3.
I think a lot of people tried to look too deeply into the type of RAM (or the texture cache), but the answer is really much more simple. And it's in the location nobody speculating looked.

> If you break all blocks before beating the dragon you've got to kill yourself to retry
How did this made it to the final release?
What, do you want the game to throw more blocks into the arena if you can't beat the boss with your limited ammo? You deserve to game over.
Now I suppose if you use up all the boxes the boss could do some very hard to dodge attack where it throws boxes at you. That would punish poor play while also preventing a fail state, but, uh, n-no, it's flawless! You casual!

What are some official arranged soundtracks for retro games you can think of? The older the better.
Here's Mario Syndrome from 1986.

Just be sure to post only official releases, not fan-made stuff, and possibly, stuff released during the /vr/-related years, of course.

Mario Land and Super Hang-On coems to mind
Whatever happened to the shmup general? Seems like it's been at least two months since I saw one.
I'm playing three games right now: Gradius (X68k port by Sharp), Final Crisis, and Zanac AI. First two are great, but the last one's hitbox programming must be screwy; it seems the shield weapon has too small a hitbox compared to how it appears on-screen, which has lead me into cheap deaths time and time again. I'm considering switching to Zanac EX/FDS, but I find that version lass manipulable and AI still has its moments.
Star Force is fun, too, from what I just played.
Been playing Air Zonk lately. Absolutely outstanding game with a 15 minute long final level.
Coryoon was made by the same people and it just as fun.
Ikaruga is utter gape.
