What is the most amount of money you would spend on a game?
>>3174043
Depends on how good it is and how many hours I'd get out of it.
I spent 200 on Windjammers on MVS, but that game is one of the best arcade vs. games of all time, and it would provide my friends and I hours and hours of entertainment.
I think that's the most I've spent, on just a straight up "game", but I did buy Steel battalion and an xbox for like 300 bucks.
Isnt yoshis story kindof shit? Cant be bettet than yoshis island
>>3174043
$60 for a physical copy of a new game.
I got into retro gaming because it was cheap.
I didn't adapt over time and become a collector.
So what is it really? A ship?
>>3173307
Yeah it's supposed to look kinda like a star destroyer
>>3173307
No. A monster in a black robe wearing a huge headdress.
It's a tower.

Any of you guys play Luigi's Chronicles 2?
It's just like Super Mario Bros 3, except much harder. I played it last week, and thought it was wildly entertaining. Anyone beaten it?
Also, game hacks thread.
Like clockwork
Wow! What a cool looking game!
It would be fun to watch someone play it online, before actually trying the game, though.

Admit it, you used Game Shark.
>>3172513
Never could get my hands on one :(
The games I could not finish as a kid, I didn't finish, plain simple.
Yes, I'm looking at you Ninja Gaiden III.
>>3172513
I sold legendary pokemon in school. Made about £500
I didn't use a Gameshark until the PS2 days.
Used a Game Genie on NES.
Why did one of the best genres, belt scrollers, have to die off, /vr/?
>>3172236
this level was retarded why was there an alien and a donut steel Blanka rip off in the middle of an amusement park
>>3172250
it's a spook house that turned out to be a legit alien hideout
It was one of my favourite genres too along with run and gun.
Lack of creativity is probably the answer. Unless you consider games like devil may cry and god of war as the evolution of the genre.
I found this at a yard sale yesterday for around $10
Did I do good /vr/?
Enjoy that rock solid 45 minutes of gameplay for 6 AA batteries.
>>3172003
Nice meme. It's not the 90's anymore, you can get like 6 hours from those AAs. Obviously that's still not as good as the classic Game Boy but it's still fairly respectable, about as good if not better than a 3DS as long as you get rechargables.
Nice. There are some good game gear exlusives that fucking autists on this board dont understand.
>its not the fucking 90s anymore you can own a gameboy and a game gear
>"Mom, Dad I want a Super Nintendo."
>"But you already have a Nintendo anon"
>"Yeah, but this one is better!"
>"How?"
>"It has more graphics!"

>"Mom, Dad I want a Super Nintendo"
>"okay"
>Christmas comes around
>Open my present
>It's a CD-i
>>3171325
>murder-suicide
>>3171325
I seriously doubt that, since the CD-i retailed for more than 3 times the amount of the SNES
What does /vr/ think about Shin Megami Tensei 2 ?
>>3171245
It's a great game.
>>3171245
I hear the MC fucks his mom then lives in a tormented cycle of reincarnation doomed to suffer for all time
>>3171335
I liked the futuristic setting less than the one in SMT1 and the story can be silly at times -Daleth, please. There are still a lot of awesome or creepy moments in this opus.
The UI and demon recruitment/fusion is a step up from the first game, so there's that.
>>3171335
What about the MC isHijiri in Nocturne?
>here, bro, you can be player 2
That's not a bad controller though.
>>3170954
It might be one of those sneakily bad controllers. Design looks identical to a 6 button MD controller, but it might feel like cheap Chinese shit.
Post em
>>3170381
>console
why do you only want to see shit games?
>>3170389
Are you trying to argue that there aren't good games on any console?
Why is this game such a bodacious elegantly crafted masterpiece?
I know right?
People just don't judge it properly because it doesn't have spindash and they get their ass handed to them by Labyrinth Zone, but it is the best Sonic game.
>>3170276
For me it was because it was the first game where momentum was the main mechanic. Great characters and art direction. One of my favorite games of all time. S3&K might be my favorite game of all time
>>3170276
Thank God it's Sonic 1 in this OP
I would have lost it if I had to read another wrong opinion.
How can nintendo even compete
1) Revenge of Shinobi
2) Streets of Rage
3) Sonic the Hedgehog
4) Columns
5) Golden Axe(still a great game but the competition here is tough)
Never played the Genesis port) Super Hang-On
>>3169932
The funny part is you think you won
Any love for Point and Click Adventure games?
Are there any games you play to this day?
>>3169810
>Toonstruck 2 will never happen
My favorite genre growing up.
I regularly revisit classics on ScummVm and often try out different versions of those I grew up with.
Great taste btw, Toonstruck was my jam. So sad they weren't able to make the sequel.
>>3169829
>Full Throttle
That game breaks my damn heart. It's such an interesting concept but it's painfully short.
Pic related. Why were games for PC so uninspired/choppy/graphically stunted as compared with console games of the era.
>>3169560
No hardware sprites/tiles meant everything had to be done in software, which meant shit framerates. Jazz Jackrabbit was the first PC platformer than ran at 60fps, everything before that is garbage.
>>3169560
The short answer is: PC's were intended as business and productivity machines. Things like scrolling and audio weren't really meant to be implemented.
As time went on, most PC users would still just be re-purposing older productivity hardware for games, so it took until the NOT RETRO era before PC's finally surpassed consoles graphically.
Because cheaper microcomputers were still a thing.
Would you have bought it in 1991?
>>3168090
This would have saved Atari. It could have delayed the Jaguar too.
No. I was six and didn't have credit cards.
>>3168090
That thing has woefully small amounts of memory.
8kbyte PCM sound ram, what the hell. That 1/4th of the SNES.
