Because she had one of the best character designers.

Is this worth playing? Dungeon Crawler thread I guess.
Whether or not it's worth playing is based on your value system. If you see value in understanding where first person dungeon crawlers came from, then it's very much worth playing. If you only see value in playing games for fun, then you will probably not get much out of Wizardry, because its gameplay is arcane and tedious.

I thought it was fun
I would suggest playing V first. They cut out some of the bullshit from the original trilogy and spiced it up with more variety without becoming too easy or different.
Stupid fucking autist shit or historical artifact which should be preserved?
I have about 60ish genesis games, about half are cart only and half have the case and maybe manual. People get uptight about snipping hang tabs, this is something I used to do, then I quit because for an instance I thought it was against the games "purity"
People claiming "If I am paying for an expensive or rare genesis game I make SURE it has it's hangtab."
I mean what the fuck? I just goddamn KNOW that someone here has shelled out extra money to find a...

I prefer them circumcised, mostly because I store them horizontally on my limited shelf space and the tabs would damage my books

I just threw away the boxes to 6 pak and starfox. Fuck it
>>3276714
>just think of how many fucking NFL/NBA/NHL 93's are out there with their hangtab in perfect condition
Be careful with that. I bought a lot of sports games to replace some busted up cases (I don't really care about the hangtab) and I had completely forgot that EA carts were shaped differently. I could have kicked myself.
My Dad's friend (65 yrs) wants me to install some games on his laptop (some old crutch, still on XP)
All he plays is Solitaire and he wants something new.
Other than MahJong and and other card games I can't really think of much else.
Any recommendations?

How do you guys deal with the fact that you're getting old?
I don't get many opportunities to talk about games.
Communities like these are the only chance I get to discuss something I love with like minded individuals... However, gaming is a time consuming hobby and it's easy for games to be forgotten as people invest their time with new titles and forget the old.
Do you think there's a time limit to enjoying retro games?

>How do you guys deal with the fact that you're getting old?
Welcome it. I'm way over caring about being young anymore. Got to experience some cool shit and I don't regret it. I just want to play and discover retro-vidya (and new shit that doesn't suck (good luck)) until I get tired of living and kick the bucket.
So no big deal really?
>>3273927
Seconded.
I wouldn't say there is a time limit, you just have to try other things and come back to it at some point, else it gets boring, like everything else in excess.
that said its next to impossible to get someone into retro games these days unless they played them aswell. so you may have to go alone, but at least you get a sword.
I'm getting my soon-to-be-13 stepbro a Dreamcast for his birthday, he likes platformers, racing games, splatoon, general Nintendo stuff. Any recommendations?

If you're getting more than one controller you can get sonic's answer to mario party. Sonic rumble
Tony Hawk Pro Skater
Jet Set Radio is a must as well
This is also a good way to teach you little brother the ways of piracy and burn him a bunch of games on CDR

This is supposed to be an RPG classic?
It's really really bad!
So much for old RPGs I guess.
Bad bait. I just finished the PS version. It was awesome. I'm enjoying FFV much more, though.
>>3261434
It was revolutionary as fuck when it came out, but it's ultimately an average and heavily broken game. Play the PSX version, it's much more polished. If you prefer MP to vancian magic, play the GBA or PSP remakes, but do note that the presence of MP greatly diminishes the game's difficulty.
>>3261434
It's a great game.
Just inferior to (most of) its successors.
Why were Europeans so bad at designing shmups? (except for SWIV)

What's wrong with having a shield? I never played this game, though.
Is there a way to play falanyone know a way to play fallout 1 or 2 on my android ?
Just Google it. Took me seconds to see solutions. However, the process seems to be way too much of a pain in the ass in order to get them running on your Android.
Yeah it is a massive hassle. I was just wondering if there was an easier way
>>3283678
The only real way I would try to go about this would be through remote play. I see there are a couple free apps that attempt to remote play Steam through your Android. Not sure how stable that is though? I've never had much luck in regards to stability with remote playing my consoles to Android or PC. If I'm in the house, it's decent. Anywhere else, the remote play connection always seems to get choppy and disconnects quite frequently.
What do you prefer?

Only the Japanese one of the two even resembles Gran Turismo. The fuck is going on in the first one?

Sony changed the music for Europe and America considering the original music unfit for western players.

I know this is true for the racing soundtrack, but these new menu themes are pretty shit. I love how somewhere in the back I can hear (bad) guitar riffs.
So will this ever be translated? last news are the "official" fan-translation thread in romhacking dot net, which died in 2013, and a 2014 neofag thread where it was announced that the translation was almost """"""""""done"""""""" (2014!).
Also, official "Games you want translated NOW" thread
fucking this! not even a beta or something

You could have learned Japanese since then.
It's not too late to start now.
Hey /vr/, what are the best CRTs for gaming? I'm not entirely experienced with owning a CRT and would like to know. I was going garage sale hunting today and one person who I knew well was offering to give me a 1987 Samsung Celebrity television for $5, which I thought might look good for Atari and NES(Looked really nice too), but I'd like to know what you guys think.
The photo is of someone's CRT taken from AtariAge. Looked just liked this, but no composite input. Only RF and Screws.
just get a pvm and don't mess around breakin your back dragging around them old grandmaw tv's cause they suck
>>3283142
we literally have an entire thread dedicated to /crt/
use the fucking catalog you shit
>>3283152
Look at this hipster thinking his 15+ year old PVM is any better.
In a family members garage I found this arcade machine. It has games like Street Fighter 2, Centipede, and more. How much money would this cost if in working order? Pic related
>>3283113
Its broken? Get it fixed mate
>>3283129
I don't know if it's working yet, planning on doing that soon. Any price estimates?
