How do people input special moves in emulated fighting games without using a joystick?
I've been having a hard time making anything besides a Sonic Boom in Street Fighter II without breaking my keyboard.
Sincerely, i prefer keyboard more than joystick to perform combos on fighting games.
Its a question of costume, in the course of time you gonna can make hard combos
>>3180112
well, OP, if you're playing the Turbo versions good fucking luck. They are way harder to execute with a controller, arcade stick or keyboard. do it faster
I bet you can execute it if you play SFAlpha 3

what's wrong with his hair?
It's time.
That attack was so cool the first time I saw it.
The next four times it was kind of boring.
>>3180139
at least it's not FF8 where every single battle took nearly an hour.

Videogames aren't art.
Here's a What If which includes two Points of Departure:
1. Satoshi Tajiri invents the idea for Pokemon much earlier, in 1980 instead of 1990.
2. Engineers / Technicians at Nintendo make several breakthroughs in electronic technology, making the NES console a bit more advanced than in our timeline.
While the console is released on the same date (1983 in Japan and 1985 in USA), it is more advances, being a 16 bit machine instead of 8 bit.
Furthermore, it has better Save/Load features (similar to Playstation's Memory Card). The console...

Thread for the lively discussion of arcade games and machines
do you like arcades ? come hang out !
nowadays theres not many cabinets other than full body experiences or other kind of machines that you cant easily replicate in home systems.
do you happen to know a good arcade center? share it here !
>set up GroovyMAME with crt_emudriver to output pure RGB signals to PVM
>have every single arcade game playable at native resolution and refresh rate
>only ever play Wonder Boy
ive seen a few half arcade cabinets for around 300€ empty
is that a good price? I wonder if its worth buying one if it doesnt even have coin box
I know it's barely retro, but /v/ is shit.
Have any of you played NES Remix? Is the 3DS version any good at all? Are the remixes fun or is it a cash grab?
I have them on Wii U. Pretty fun but I ended up putting it down pretty quickly.
I think I'd have liked it more on a mobile system, the structure of the game being basically a collection of micro challenges lends itself really well for that. It would be tons of fun to play during the small waits you end up having throughout the day.
Overall Id recommend it, assuming it's the same as the console version. Just know that it's probably not something you'll play a ton when you're just hanging around the house or something, it's not really...

I've played the 3DS version.
Most of the "challenges" are bite sized parts of the games. Kind of like a tutorial of sorts. I think it's best for people who haven't played the games already.
The actual remixed challenges are pretty fun, but they are a small portion of the game, unfortunately.
>>3179707
Not enough remix challenges, but the game is alright. Some games like Super Mario Bros. have challenges from throughout the entire game, but others like Punch-Out only go up to like Bald Bull or Excitebike only using the first two or three courses.
The 3DS version doesn't have all the games from the Wii U versions such as Wario's Woods, Clu Clu Land, Ice Climbers, or NES Open Tournament Golf, but it does have online leaderboards with replays and the Japanese version of the game which has a few minor...

I work on industrial machinery alone all day, I live in the woods with only a 2yr old subhuman for company the majority of the time. The internet is one of my only resources for adult conversation and is full of penises.
Please Recommend me some relaxing old games with good character or environment interaction worth buying. I have Sega 16bit+, Nintendo 16bit+, 3DO and PS consoles GG and GBC handhelds.
>>3179457
I believe the game you're looking for is Super Nintendo Flashcart combined with SD Card.
>>3179457
OG Metroid
Megaman 1 or 2
Dragon quest (warrior) IV
>>3179457
Try Zelda games, they're easy, relaxing and noob friendly.
If it had slightly more replayability (a few more characters or ability trees or equipment options to experiment with) this would be the GOAT rpg.
Prove me wrong oh wait you fucking can't
It already is the GOAT rpg.
I've played and beaten most of the /vr/ FF games, DW/DQ games, mana, chrono trigger, and I still find this one the most replayable by far.
>>3179264
eh, I actually agree with OP. Only having 5 characters with so few attacking options kind of makes it too repetitive to play again.
Atmosphere and enemy design and everything was pretty good though. I like ff6 better honestly
>>3179258
I still replay it every few years or so.

A piercing doubt has been tormenting me along these last years: which was the last TOTALLY 2D videogame developed for console?
Background and characters have to be sprites. Special effects don't count.
I'm pretty sure that Owlboy will be available on consoles as well as PCs.

Not retro you fucking redditor
>>3178952
do you include handhelds, or must they be living room systems?
I have a 40 inch LED TV and playing old games on it looks like shit. I bought a cheap upscaler (the one in pic related) and it didn't even do anything to help it. I'm not looking to spend $400 on a Framemeister and I don't know anything about hardware modding. Is there a cheaper upscaler out there that makes composite look alright? I mean I know it'll still look shitty but I mean tolerable. Maybe something that adds scanlines?
Just buy a cheap CRT tv you fucking hack.
http://retrogaming.hazard-city.de/
you have many options there. it's basically all you need. good luck.
>I have a 40 inch LED TV
>Framemeister
I'd get a non garbage TV first.
Hey /vr/
Sorry if request threads are frowned upon but I've been looking for this game for years.
Basically, it was a typical 'bounce the ball game' knocking against blocks and shit. But if I recall correctly, you were in some sort of control of the ball. Independant of any sort of platform to knock it against.
I remember even selecting which level you wanted to go into meant you had to navigate with the ball, sometimes even requiring you to beat puzzles before you could unlock other sections.
It's a pretty old game and I'm...

What are some good ports of retro games to non-retro systems?Specifically looking for PS2 since I'm trying to pad out my collection but any system is fine.
pic related is a good example, it has both games, is practically identical to the originals, and is dirt cheap to boot.
Virtua Fighter 2 and Die Hard Arcade on PS2 Sega Ages are pretty good, but I don't remember which number are they
i only bought capcom classics for an arcade perfect port of final fight
conker live and reloaded was pretty cool too
The 3DS Sega games.
What went wrong with NEC?
At the end of the 80s they had everything ready to dominate the video game markets but then they just made one poor decision after the other to squander everything.
SuperGrafx was where it all went wrong. Instead of letting the PC Engine live on into the mid '90s, they should've scrapped it and given the SG a better processor and moved onto that.
Another fuck-up was not designing the PC-FX to handle polygons.
>>3178010
I think the PC-FX could have handled 3D hardware via upgrades. It has a large ultimately unused expansion slot.
The PC-98/IBM expansion card version of the PC-FX also had 3D capabilities the standalone version lacked.
NEC also had technology like PowerVR that would have been suited for the purpose.
If they had launched it in 1992 it could have gotten a decent market share and then fend off newcomers with expansions.
>>3178007
>What went wrong with NEC?
You talk about them like they went the way of Sega. They were a computer manufacturer first and foremost, so they just went back to that when the gaming branch failed.
>tfw this is still the best 3D Indiana Jones game.
>emulation never ever
>>3177852
I would like to play some P&C games again, Deponia didnt quite made it for me and Simon the Sorcerer Series dies with Simon 3D.
GoG has a sale, is Fate of Atlantis worth it?Indiana Jones games in general, I remember playing Tower of Babel as a kid
And I also remember liking Broken Sword, but it has 5 games right now, which are good?
>>3180954
Fate of Atlantis was one of the best licensed games in history, it plays like a real Indy 4 and has three branching paths (wits, fists, team) which allows for some replay value.
If you want to get back into point-and-click, I'd highly suggest the Sam and Max Telltale games (seasons 2 and 3 are the best).
Broken Age is also pretty good.
Older games sometimes suffer from a problem of being built around 1-900 hint-lines that no longer exist, while newer games often feel way too easy because people are conditioned...

>Mid 90's:
Return Fire (Playstation)
Simple graphics, only 4 vehicles, and very annoying repetetive fmv.
But...gameplay was so damn fun, especially when your opponent ran into your planted mine.
Also the first Tekken goes here.
>Late 90's:
Goldeneye (N64)
My one friend just could never figure out his orientation in the maps and he would get so pissed at the rest of us. He could never find the armor upgrade.
This game resulted in furniture being moved around the living room more than once.

worst time on last track of the night had to buy first round.
tap swill was not allowed.

>This game resulted in furniture being moved around the living room more than once.
To disorientate him in real life too?
>return fire
How the hell I always overlooked this game, it seems so fun due its simplicity.
