Redpill me on the PC Engine. Why do I want one? What's good about it? is it worth it without the CD expansion?
>>3332019
First off...
>>3332021
This,
Secondly, if you like shmups, the PC Engine is a wet dream come true.
>>3332038
I've never really played any shmups but I'm interested, do you have a list?
>>3332021
>>3332041
I'm sorry I want to know more about what seems to be somewhat of a cult system on here and in other places

The CD addon has some of the best games of the library.
To play all of them you'd need to get the upgrade card. the duos (versions of the consoles with the cd addon built in) already have the card, so those are your best bet unless you really feel like buying 3 seperate things.
the pc-engine has a shit ton of great shmups if you're into those, and niche stuff like dating sims. splatterhouse and rondo of blood are also both must plays.
So, uh.. did the GCCX thread move to another board, or...? Just checking..
the last one got archived. Lack of new subbed episodes and shitposters are ruining the GCCX general. Better wait for the next subbed episode to come in january to open a new one.
Oh, well ok then. I was just worried the shitposters had finally won and gotten the thread banned or something.
>>3331040
I know, I was worried ecelebs were finally totally banned in this forum.

Feel free to discuss vintage handheld consoles in general, including the Nintendo Gameboy family, Sega Game Gear, Atari Lynx, WonderSwan, Neo Geo Pocket, etc.
ToT: How many accessories can you cram on a handheld before it becomes "handheld"?
By the way, does anyone have the screencap of that one Anon whe crammed a Game Genie, Game Shark, Mega Memory Card, complete Handy Boy, and a battery booster pac all onto a gameboy with pokemon yellow, and then plugged it all into a N64 transfer card?
This is the stupidest general idea I have ever seen.
Post old school gaming related art. Anything goes, from in-game screenshots to box/cabinet art to pinball backglass to arcade flyers to ads to original art. If it's classic gaming related and it looks cool then let's see it.
Show me a bad retro Star Wars game. You can't.
that namco one on famicom
Hey guys, what's up? Mind if I bring my friends along?
Bloody hell
You're not invited anywhere, Wanker.
You're a nuisance!

But they're really interesting people!
Bollocks and Poppycock!
/vr/ i need your help with a game i used to play
It was an old turn based strategy game, here is all i remember:
-Races: Humans, cloaked horned alien things (devils? black or brown robes), bug race with big eyes, i think there were more
-you could build tidal wave machines off shore and wreck peoples land
-to fight, you sent your units onto an opponents "square" that also had units, and at the end of a turn you would go into a short cut scene of sorts to watch them fight. units would run around attacking each other
-i remember a hatred for air units in this game cause they ruined everything
-if it was not obvious, sci-fi like
-had to keep population happy with art/etc. reminds me of civ (actually i might go check older civs just in case but i doubt it)
pic unrelated but game was old
Deadlock?
>>3347890
yes that's it! thanks anon!
Who's your favorite Darkstalker?
Do you prefer Hunter or Savior?
Savior because I'm a filthy casual pleb.
The catgirl is the funnest to play as for me.
>>3347564
Gameplay wise I like sasquatch and qbee. Design wise I think huitzil, lei lei, and lilith are my favorites, honestly there's not a design I don't like.
>>3347569
Savior is what most people play, nothing "pleb" about it.
>>3347571
>funnest
>cat girl
Did you actually play any of the games?
What's the name of the game that appears between 0:17 and 0:25?

Trespasser.
>>3347486
THANK YOU! I've been searching for this game for a long time. You are god amongst men anon
>>3347506
No problem. Stay cool.

Good taste OP.
How about something from Lagoon?

Hey guys, I wanna get into some obscure personal computer games (pre-windows). Platform doesn't really matter, but I do wanna be able to emulate. What would you guys recommend?
ZX Spectrum
Some really obscure shit on there because it was only really popular in the UK. Lots of exclusives.

What is your opinion of spine cards?
Collectors pay more for them, as it is more complete.
I personally like how they look when you have the CDs lined up on a shelf, you can read the titles better as they're bigger, but most of them are always in japanese so that might be useless for people who can't read it.
I collect J-music more than video games, so I'm used to them.
Also, you likely need to have a plastic wrap for the CD case and the obi. Most people just store the obi inside the CD case.
They look pretty neat when the game's shrinkwrapped. If I had my jewel case games in those mylar cases I'd take them out of the manuals where I keep them and put them back on their spines
Plastic sleeves would be fantastic for displaying the spine cards. I wonder if there are any retro stores that ship to EU.
Hey /vr/ so I want to get into street fighter. Not looking to play competitively. Kinda want it just to play around with friends and for characters and story stuff. This is the only game I already own. (I think my dad got it from the rental place) what games are the best? I have a pc to emulate and I also have a Genesis, ps1, ps2, ps3, GameCube and Wii. I'd be open to maybe getting a dream cast tho.
That game's actually real good if you have a 6 button arcade stick. The only thing better will be MAME.
>>3347090
Yeah I like it, just looking to branch out a bit
>>3347084
>The only thing better will be MAME.
"no"
One of my favorite simulation games. Anyone else on /vr/ remember it?
>>3346813
I've played the tabletop version. Pretty intense. The game probably better suits being computerised
Harpoon is the shit!
>>3346915
It is shit. Seriously, Matrix still asks for 50 bucks for it, while the database is written by a 10-year-old, inconsistent shit.
What does /vr/ think of these guys?
>>3346728
Niche games, but not my cup of tea.
>>3346728
Best grand strategy developer ever.
>>3346728
shitty games like aerobiz and other shit like the pirate game. all complete shit, but 20 year olds think they da bomb. sub 40% reviews for every koei game
