Retro Star Trek games thread.
So many variants of this game were made.
I love Trek but I have to admit their games are almost always sub-par. ST Online probably is the best Trek game ever.

the adventure game OP posted and also judgement rites are 10/10 point and click games no joke
Thanks, John.

How long until someone tries to claim it's actually great and anyone hating on it is just parroting e-celebs?
HIS BITCH
>>3348475
This game is underrated and all of the kids that bash on it are just parroting e-celebs.
How the hell do people even get policenauts working on neko project II? I've followed the steps on configuring it but I seem to be doing something wrong because it doesn't want to run
>>3348463
why is your screenshot so fucking huge?
I think I had to load the CD image in place of a HDD image.

ITT: Best games of their respective series.

You fucked up, here, let me help you out.
So I just started playing Secret of Mana. Everything is great except I can't stand the "wait till 100% for full strength" thing.
Does it get fun eventually? Any other games like SoM without this? Doesn't necessarily have to be on the SNES
>>3348429
SD3 gets rid of the charge bar. Play that instead.
The game instantly becomes much easier and enjoyable once you unlock magic.
I had a blast playing this three-player with my brother and a friend.
So I heard that Gunpei Yokoi got the inspiration for the Game and Watch by seeing someone playing with a calculator in the train to pass the time, did people really used calculators as gaming devices back in the day. I mean, I know they weren't cheap so they had to make the best use of them, but how many uses did they got other than making it say BOOBS? I heard they could be programed, if so, what kind of games they could make with them?
>>3348418
maybe math games? they have calculators now that have games on them, but then again they are in japan. they probably came up with numbers to multiply or whatnot, and then check the answer on their calculator
I do recall playing some math games/activities with a calculator as a kid. I don't remember what exactly though.
There were some calculators that had games built in using the (numeric) display, but my memory places them in the early/mid 80s. Same era as the Game & Watch.
>>3348418
Yes, there were programmable calculators back then that even took magnetic cards sorta like a game cartridge. They looked like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TI-59_/_TI-58 So it probably wasn't what you think with the calculator in the pic, but close.
Satoru Iwata also got his start in programming by making games on his calculator. I think they were baseball games. They were very basic games, you wouldn't want on. Think of it as like a text adventure game but with numbers instead of text....

Who likes this game? The best Bitmap Bros game IMO. Having been a big fan of the Xenon games as a kid, somehow this always passed me by (though I knew of its existence and thought it looked good). I've only been playing it a short while but I'm having loads of fun.
Nice difficulty curve, great action, sweet graphics and a cool soundtrack. It's on plenty of formats too - I prefer the Megadrive version (despite usually being more of a SNES fan).
It's promising, up until near the end, when it just turns to shit. Can be fun with friends, but it actually makes it harder since you have to split loot.
The best Bitmap Brothers game is Gods.
I guess this was inspired by Alien Breed?
Is there a company that actually specializes is saving and refurbishing old broken game consoles instead of lying about saving them and scrapping them for their IC chips, gold plated parts and silver contacts?
>>3347763
>and scrapping them for their IC chips, gold plated parts and silver contacts?Socialist countries used very much gold, so after dissolution of the Soviet block old computers were entirely scrapped.
Bad fate.
Most retro stores worth their salt offer a repair service, if that's what you mean.
>>3347763
I do. Not on a massive scale but I've salvaged and repaired a few hundred consoles so far.
Favorite beat'em up or belt scroller or whatever?
>>3347762
Did you mean Jog & Jab games?
>>3347775
BIG BUFFS AND FISTICUFFS*
streets of rage 2 btw
>>3347775
Just finished Valkyrie Profile, what are /vr/ opinions on it?
I thought it was great, the Einherjar recruitment parts were great, even if that's the only part of their character development. The dungeons are all right but the battle system can get pretty boring after some time. The A ending is pretty meh though.
Also I love this motherfucker's voice.
>>3347725
Great game.
I just wish the cutscenes were skippable and the voice acting wasn't full of AIDS.
>>3347732
Just get an undub.
I really like the combat system but I got bored by the time I reached the fourth chapter. I didn't like the format of the game of having the time limit, going to one or two towns per chapter to recruit Einherjar, going to one or two dungeons per chapter to train party, etc. It's too rigid and repetitive.
PEPSIMAAAAAAAAAAN
I'm glad he got a surge of popularity recently thanks to that speed running event.
Let's hope pepsi notices.
I always loved the graphics on this. The mix of 3D environments and nicely drawn sprites. Are there any other games like this, except the obvious first person shootans?
Something with bright colorful graphics like in Pepsiman.
>>3347539
Yes, M&Ms The Lost Formula
I wonder what the reaction would be if you went back to 1991 just after SF2 was released and told everyone that eventually all three of these would be mainline Street Fighter characters. They'd probably call you crazy.
I think Sonic games on Nintendo systems would be the biggest mindfuck
>>3347261
nevermind that they'd be appearing in the same games together.
can i pls get some recommendations for genesis games? i just got one at a garage sale for $5 and i'm not too familiar with the quality of the library.
- Dragon's Fury / Devil Crash MD
- Streets of Rage (Any of them)
- Fightin' games (If you're into that)
You should probably get an EverDrive MD for ~$35-50 and just have the entire library.
Gunstar Heroes, Castlevania New Generation, Battletoads, Streets of Rage, Rocket Knight Adventures, Shinobi, Two Crude Dudes
$40 Chinese Everdrive to play the entire Genesis & Master System libraries.

Don't talk like /v/, anon. You're better than that.
What was your experience like playing Crash Bandicoot 2 for the first time?
>>3346369
"This is tight" -Me, 2014
Coolest shit ever. It was like Crash 1 with the level advancement mechanics tweaked. And jetpacks.
>>3346414
jetpacks make everything better
