So I saw this port of Cave Story to the Sega Genesis the other day, and I was pretty impressed with how someone managed to get a game from 2004 running on a console from the 80s.
And it got me wondering, are there any other examples of non-retro games being ported to retro consoles? This kind of thing is fascinating to me

Retro City Rampage can both be downloaded and played in DOSbox, or the developer sells a version on floppies that can be played on an authentic 486 MS-DOS machine. He's also working on a version for the NES. I would get links but this info isnt hard at all to find. Retro City Rampage came out in late 2012.
>>3350082
jesus why does every 'retro styled' modern game have way worse pixel art than actual retrogames.
its like they arent even trying
>>3350112
because they don't have the budget to hire proper artists
And I'm talking about absolutely obscure games. Pic related, Valhalla.
I found this in an old brazilian magazine CD full of demos.
Developed by Anarchy Enterprises, who now develops shitty mobile games, Valhalla (beta) is a pretty simplistic and incomplete fighting game based around the nordic pantheon of gods. The game features hand-drawn graphics, blood and "fatalities".
I can't found a single mention of this game in the interwebs.
>>3348604
There are many games totally lost to time, some that aren't even on google or some that only pull up a few links on google if that.
Oh, I found a mention of Valhalla in this list.
http://retro.icequake.net/numbers/www.seven7seven.com/f176-200.htm
Although labeled as a "beat'em up", Valhalla is a traditional fighting game and not a belt scroller.
>>3348604
There are probably hundreds of freeware and shareware games from the 90s that have no record whatsoever of them anymore. Possibly thousands. And then there's all the games from the 80s that people programmed in BASIC.
What keeps them from doing another fun game like that?
Harvest Moon 64 was better.
>>3348583
I agree. It felt more seamless? BTN seems very clunky in comparison, and slow as hell. I liked being able to cook but at times BTN almost felt like it had too much to offer. 64 was maybe more 'barebones' in the selection of crops and such, but it worked much better IMO.

Has there ever been a better device for /vr/ than the wii with homebrew installed?
yeah
the actual hardware, retard

I don't know man having the entire game library for each classic console along with this controller is pretty dope.

1, unless you're 16-babby in which case consider X. Make your way onward.
> Does 8 suck?
It's mediocre at the very best for a mega man game, but it's still a shitload of fun. If shitty camera triggers you too much, play the demake, 8 FC. Good game.
> Are there gonna be demakes for Powered Up and Bass?
Doesn't seem to likely at all, in fact forget about it. Let's hope someone else picks up the idea and does it.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

What are your thoughts on this game and the sequel?
Amazing game. I find it hard to go back to the originals now, just too old. But Commandos 2 will always be my favorite, still very playable today. C3 was cool but way to damn hard I found.
>>3345820
Commandos 2 is a 10/10 masterpiece. Very good games all of them.
>>3345820
I bought the trilogy years ago but never got around to playing them, should probably fix that
Previous thread >>3328580
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.

So I finally figured out what the fuck was wrong with my old TV. Turns out I was only able to see half the spectrum of blue shades. Went into the service menu and had to crank up the blue cutoff, then adjust the red and green to get the colors right again. Now my blacks look gray, though. How fucked am I?
>>3345320
Adjust the brightness?
So I downloaded a massive pack of pre-patched english translated JP only SNES roms. Been going through and trying different games here and there to see what we never got. So how about a general thread for short reviews for english translated JP only games?
Tales of Phantasia is pretty good. The story is basic RPG + time travel, and the graphics are pretty as hell, but the main draw is the real-time battle system. Was having great fun with it, up until I got to the Sylph(sp) fight and couldn't attack half of them. I may need to read the manual.

Seiken Densetsu 3, nigga
Glory of Heracles 3 tells a stellar story with rather simple mechanics
The scenario was planned by the guy who did FF7, so it has a dark sense of humor and good bouts of serious mind bending moments.
Don't do that to yourself.
Go the hard route and learn the language instead of fooling yourself with those "translations". You'll get a lot more out of it in the long run.
Enjoying physical media anons? Gamecube games are next in line

As opposed to eternal magic media?
Even some of my cheap burnable discs are still in good shape.

Gee, sure is nice that my N64 uses carts.
Fuck this third stage
>>3339356
You just need to get used to it, man.
Which one is three? I got stuck on the one with the bridge. It's either three or four. Then stuff came up in life and I never got back to it.
Normally the game gives you an item if you past the stage in Grand master rank.
Which stage is it? that one where you have to cross an entire village? i don't remember much since it has been ages since i have played this.
Recent purchases thread? Pic related, the results of my trip to the used book store yesterday.
I've been looking for a copy of Arkanoid Doh it Again for nearly 15 years. I'm stoked to have finally snagged one.
I just bought my first retro console (NES). A friend of mine was selling it and I couldn't resist.
I don't have any games or even tv yet and I don't know where I should buy them (I live in central Finland) or where I even fit it in my small student apartment.
I'm stressed but happy.
>>3338760
Didn't your friend have games too?
>>3338760
Finnpoor here mongolbrethren, its HIGHLY unlikely you do to find any cheap retrogames from flee markets or anywhere nowadays, theres shitton of resellers who scavenge them through and charge ridicilous prices, but i recommend modding the console for ntsc and using ebay for much cheaper prices than within finland

I never played that crappy console in the first place.

How old are you kid?
>>3326580
It's funny, I watch old games on YouTube all the time but it never occurred to me to play any of them. Are there any good ones on NES or GameCube or whatever?
Cool, fugly, gimmicky... just post 'em.

the shapes clearly represent 1,2,3,4 and are arranged in snes order - right to left,bottom to top

>Glyph group without preconceived "order"
The PSX buttons still have a 1-2-3-4 order based on the number of lines that are used to create the symbols.
Thoughts?

No price known yet.
So it's like the Colecovision Flashback? Guess it all depends on how it runs but I don't see any real reason to buy it.
is this real fucking life?
