ITT: Game series that are total console slut/port whores?
Not just the same game, like Tetris, being recreated on every personal computer/console, but also games like the ones this legend stars in where consoles gets one version, a portable version with the same name that is more based on the sequel, a sequel that is still being ported even to modern handhelds, a portable version with the name of the sequel that is more based on it - any random combination.

Doom.

Resident Evil is pretty egregious
The classic Sonic games have been ported on pretty much every console after Sega dropped out.
It's better than getting the "where the fuck are the goddamn ports" treatment like Viewtiful Joe.
Let's post some anti-communist retro games. Pic related.
but that pic is pro-communism??
>>3281852
was this made by the same people that made nesticle and genecyst?
reminds me of their style a lot.
>>3281898
Tell me a country that went well with communism. Oh wait, you can't.

It was made (but never released) by SETA.

Can we talk about the VMU?
There's a lot of discussion about how fast it eats up battieres, but most of the people who talk about that are basing this off of like, watch batteries from 2000 and 2010. We have much better battery technology now, and I was wondering how long these last with current generation lithium batteries?
This fucking thing is ingenious, by the way, and pretty powerful as a portable console in it's own right, especially for the size and year it was released.
>>3281425
Who in their right mind would play games on a VMU over a fucking Gameboy?
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
>>3281474
Segafags and hipsters would, I think, at least I've seen some anons talking about how much they love playing shit on it.
What are some fun two player Atari games like Frogs and Flies?

Why the fuck are people paying for this? It's just a book full of screenshots...

It's your typical coffee table book. Not very interesting I'm afraid.

people just love oversized books with brigt colorful glossy images

What's with the description in the pic? I don't recall being able to fly a fully-armed helicopter in Mario 2.
What is your favorite retro football/soccer game?
I hate soccer but I have two games under my belt. One FIFA '96 (IIRC that's the name) for the PC and Goal Storm '97 for the PS1. I think Fifa 96 edges it out.
Im not big into soccer. But growing up my best friend was Brazilian. So I got stuck playing it, and some soccer vidya too.
>Super Soccer
It was on SNES. Might have been standard for the time, but I loved it.
>Fifa 64
Around this time I was about high school age. And found some new friends who were Hatian. They would Just talk about Brazil vs Argentina and only pick those 2 teams. Riots broke out on a regular basis. Fun times
Any love for the Mystical Ninja/Ganbare Goemon games?
I just beat Mystical Ninja starring Goemon! for the umpteenth time last night. It's still my personal favorite game of all time, even though I'm starting to see some of its flaws.
Might restart Goemon's Great Adventure soon, because I never got around to beating that one yet.
Seems like a great series. The humor is top-notch and the gameplay is really well done. I want to play through 2-4 on SNES, but waiting for an English script.
there's actually 8 goemon games that were translated to english
most of them are fan translations though,
Ganbare Goemon! Karakuri Douchuu (NES)
Ganbare Goemon! Karakuri Douchuu (MSX)
Ganbare Goemon 2 (NES)
Ganbare Goemon: Sarawareta Ebisumaru! (GB, part of the European Konami GB Collection Vol. 3)
The Legend of the Mystical Ninja (SNES)
Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon (GB)
Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon (N64)
Goemon's Great Adventure (N64)
>>3283581
That's pretty cool I didn't know about the translation of Karakuri Douchuu.

Do you like pixel art, or is it just for the nostalgia?
To be honest, I don't care about pixel art that much, if the gameplay is good, I will like the game. I would say it's a plus if the game looks nice depending of the releasing date I suppose.
Graphic is not really a big issue for me, I still play indie pixelated games on Steam such as Titan Souls for example because of its cool concept.
I like pixel art when it's not displayed on pixels
Fucking love it, but it's only really at its most impressive when it occurs in old games because of an understanding of the restrictions that they had to work with when making it, in terms of hardware capabilities, file size limits, and of course having to fit within the scope and theme of the game itself.
Share and discuss some old videos of relation to vidya. Be they interviews, sneak-peeks, or reviews.
Check this out, troopers!

bump? C'mon /vr/ I find this stuff interesting. Surely you will too.

I tried making /vr/ videos general a few times.
only 1-3 person ever replies.
Not sure why they wouldn't want to see neat commercials, dev interviews, beta footage, glitches, lose game footage, etc
Could be such a good general if people gave a shit

Why do people shit on this game?
>>3279539
Because it's different
>>3279539
Because someone on the internet said so.
This game was so immensely popular that stores had shortages. My parents bought me a copy and had to sign up on a waiting list for it.
But is that the sort of story you'd hear online? Nope, youngfags will say that this was a vastly unpopular pile of shit that flopped so hard they never made another one like it.
It's the Andy Kaufman of the Zelda series.
System Shock 2 currently free on GoG by downloading their client service Gog Galaxy.
Getting anything retro from their Summer Sale?
>>3278627
>paying for abandonware
but yeah if one of those gold box sets goes on sale I'm getting it
Is Earthworm Jim 1&2 nice on PC?
>>3278641
yea it runs fine on dosbox
I'm monitoring it for mainly old RTS games. Still quite sad LED Wars, Dark Colony and Conquest Earth aren't on there, but 7th Legion is and will be mine as soon as it gets a discount.
Also not retro but Infinifactory on half price is probably worth buying.
CGA thread

Remember that upscaling to 1600x1200 can give the proper ratio to DOS games without any non-integer multiplying artifacts.
I was born in 92', so I never saw this kind of display, was it as hard on the eyes back then as it is looking at it now? I figure there might be a difference between those really old tube displays and modern flat screens.
I get that the idea for the color choices for CGA and the Apple II was to allow for contrast for displaying text, for business purposes, but sometimes I see images done on these old limitations and I'm amazed that some people managed to make images as good looking as they were with what little colors they had at hand.

Haha! You no mess with Lo Wang.
HUUUUUUUUU WANTS SOME WANG
Still wondering if we're ever going to see Deadly Kiss.
Not many maps are made anymore so if you're interested I released one last month, which took me more than a year and a half to complete (lot's of down time).

Works in (DOS)box, SWP and Redux. DOSbox is the most recommended but you might get a framerate drop in the main outdoor area of the map.
I'm horny. Not quoting the game or anything, just stopping by to mention I'm horny.
With the rampant influx of spot on reproductions being created and sold for a fraction of the price (pic related selling for $40 on eBay), don't you think used game stores, places that sell used games and even craigslisters will start miss-pricing original carts because of the inability to tell repros from originals or maybe not even having any knowledge of repros existing?? I'd love for someone to see this cart-only price and then sell me the original for close to the same price.
I'd post the eBay link but you can find it yourself if you give a shit.
Thoughts?
Btw...

Ebay should permanently ban all the repro resellers. Against EBay's policy.

I don't know what you THINK is going to happen, but I'll tell you what will happen. All the places and people that sell used games will sell the repros at the same price as the originals. Most of the sellers don't know the difference,...

>Willing to bet a large number of them won't be willing to let you open up the cart to confirm it's legit either.
>Selling bootlegs is illigal.
Think they'd have to open the cart to confirm it's the actual item.
