Oh God. I loved UN Squadron. But I only played it on SNES. What system is that?
>>3227161
Input Lag system 64.
>>3227174
Was it any good? Or just same game different platform?
/vr/, what are some good girlfriend-ready co-op games for PS1 and older?
To give you a frame of reference for what I'm looking for, Kirby is "too boring" and Gunstar Heroes is "too hard". Those are my go-to co-op games anyway and it'd be nice to play something that's new to me as well.

I'm planning on collecting some super Famicom games and eBay appears to be a decent resource at a glance. Why are these games so much cheaper than their American counterparts? What exactly does G86 mean? Does anyone have any advice for buying Japanese snes games from eBay?
For the most part, people aren't as interested in Japanese language games with no translation, or the mutilation of their SNES console to play them (people who use clones/emulation don't tend to care about anything beyond the big name games). Especially RPGs, nobody wants to play the import when it's untranslated
No idea what G86 means, but the reason they're so much cheaper is because collecting is more of a western thing. Japan doesn't have the same nostalgiaboner about old games that we do.
As for tips, my advice is start collecting ASAP. If prices for western games get any more inflated, there's a good chance people will abandon it and start flocking to the Japanese market. Also, look to see if there's a Japanese imports store in your town. I found SMB3-J for $10 at mine, and since there's no shipping to pay, you can see how the savings add up.
I recommend Super Metroid and all the bomberman games. Super Metroid is completely in English even in the famicom version.

More like, "literally who" retro games.
oh cool super ching chong 2 yeah definitely played the hell out of that gem
>>3226672
You are confusing it with the SNES port.

>>3226534
Means "small fry" in Japanese, as in, anything that isn't a boss.
Post some title screens that get u pumped
I didn't want to post one of the usual suspects, so I chose Dino Crisis' title screen.
Hi, i remember a game .. on snes i think... where you control a white ball with arms and legs. It was a sonic like, but i really can't find the name!
Dizzy Prince of the Yolkfolk
or
Treasure Island Dizzy
It's not this one :/
The game was modern with sci-fi levels
Draw us a picture, op.
What's the difference?
Between Silver Star Story and Silver Star Story COMPLETE I mean.
Never even knew there were 2 versions on the Saturn until now.
>>3226165
This is just a shot in the dark, but I'm guessing that SSS is the Sega CD version and SSSC is the PS1 version. You can google the differences from there.
>>3226178
No, you're confusing everything.
The PS1 version is based the Saturn version and released years later. The SEGA CD version is called The Silver Star and a very different game.
AFAIK both these Saturn versions are basically the same with what I imagine are some minor differences, maybe it's support for the MPEG card or something, but I can't really find any info on it.
Silver Star Story is the original Sega CD version of the game and Silver Star Story Complete is the remastered (ie shit) version for the Saturn and Playstation.
The two versions you see for Saturn are both the Complete remastering but one has higher-quality MPEG cutscenes that require the Video CD addon only released in Japan. Playstation has its own video format iirc that works kinda like MPEG and the MPEG versions were reencoded for the Silver Star Story Complete Port to PS1.
Japanese game = anime
English version = western trash
why ?
>>3226075
Before the anime boom, Publishers feared that the weird Japanese art styles would confuse and scare Westerners. They did everything to hide it. They would change cover art, or sometimes do whole conversions like this.
>>3226081
But this is exactly the opposite of that. The Jetsons game was created first, and then converted for the Japanese market.
Ok guys need you re help. Trying to remember the name of a game I am sure was for SNES where you are a red guy in a spacesuit on an alien world with a gun. It is a side scroller.

Do you avoid green label PS1 games, /vr/?
Personally I don't care. If the black label is the same price as the green label I'll go with the black, but if the green label's cheaper I'll go with that.
i'm getting to a point where i might not even take the fucking gamestop/compusa/whatever sticker is on a game off anymore. just fucks it all up and i never had goo gone work right. it's like gamestop executives were one day discussing how they should put price tags on their video games and they just went JUST FUCK IT ALL UP SENPAI
>>3225858
Same here, and I'm in good with my local gaming store. If they have multiple black labels for a certain game and I come in with my green label, they'll swap out the inserts.
>>3225858
my gamestop has stickers on the fucking box art.
like they took the paper out of the case, stuck it on and made it unremovable
Ghetto rigged an AC3 simulator.
Also i've been playing AC forever and i'm still trash, whats the secret?
I know how to cancel the stopping animation with the jumps and such and do fairly well in the arena but the missions always fuck me.
>>3225839
Never thought of plying AC with a flight stick. How does this work? I've only beat the first one with a standard dual-shock, they are hard games.
Oh fug. One of my best friends in high school worked at an arcade and would fix the machines so we could play for free. There was this badass mecha game you played with 2 sticks like that
