No because your picture sucks, just buy it fgt.

>>3106257
I wouldn't pay more than $20 for that lot. Then again, I haven't bought anything retro in years.

Do you like Wolfenstein 3D? If so, what's your favorite port or way to play it? I like to be as close to vanilla as possible, so I use the Wolf4SDL source port.

ZWolf is a fairly new port. It supports 1080p.
>>
I play wolf4sdl on my pi its actually really fun to play with a controller.
>>
>>3105469
Wolf 3D was pretty cool. But it hasn't aged very well at all. The levels all kind of blend together, nothing all too memorable outside of boss fights.

I'm thinking of going to nipland some day in the near future and I'm thinking of picking some games up.
Have retro game prices inflated as badly as they have in EU/US, or will I be able to get a famalamicom in good condition for 30 dollars?

Stuff is still cheap

Best idea is to buy systems that get grossly inflated over here.

PC-Engine, PC-Engine CD, AV Famicom, and other Japan exclusive things.
>>
Why not just get an NES and a flashcart or one of the cheap multicarts on aliexpress?
>>
>>3105335
Neat. I'll try to remember to post my haul when I get back. It will probably be sometime this summer or autumn though.
>>3105368
I have a boner for the Famicom design, and I figure I might as well get one if I'm gonna go there anyway. Will probably buy a flash cart for it as well.

Can anyone explain where the "PS1 has bad graphics" thing comes from?

This is the first level of the first Crash Bandicoot game, released in 1996. Notice how it looks better than any Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn, or PC game?

Wrong timing bro, right now /vr/ is having grand fest of 4th gen console warring.

5th gen console war is boring and this thread was made too many times already.

Crash Bandicoot sucks, literally the Poochie of video games. Enjoy your narrow corridors.

This board is shit.

I read from an anon on /vr/ that Crash was a bit like an FMV game, in that visibility and depth data for every frame was stored on the disk.

What does /vr/ think of the Everdrive?
109 posts and 9 images submitted.
>>
I think (flash carts in general) are a good idea. Unless you're collecting or you really want that game, I don't really see a reason to pay the seller's inflated prices for an old cartridge with most likely a dead battery or corroded contacts.
>>
>>3104059
Its so goddamn expensive. On the other hand, most of the games on Genesis/megadrive i have yet to play are out of my price range. I might just go for the MegaEverdrive and stop collecting for a while
>>
>>3104598

$40 USD for the chinese version of the Genesis Everdrive on aliexpress. It even comes with an 8GB SD card that has like every game on it.

> We've made a terrible mistaaaaake

That box art is hysterical. I always complain about plain, unsophisticated illustrations in game covers, but then they try to do something eerie and symbolic and it backfires like this

Answering your question: any Tenchu track, but I love string-based ones like 'Cure the Princess'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpPLGtG2Nk8

or 'Execute the Corrupt Minister'

They had almost nothing but cookie-cutter dungeon crawlers and interactive fiction (which barely even counts as a "game") with primitive graphics and a couple of beeps for sound. There was nothing like the demo scene or any decent music composers either.

Also don't get me started on the rubbish computers they had like IBM PCs with shit CGA colours, Crapple, and a few other miscellaneous shitpiles. Even the few decent computers like Amiga were nearly ignored over there and 90% of their userbase was in Europe.

Got the Super Metroid at a game store, I was shocked to see it there because the store rarely ever has anything even remotely good retro wise. I found the Ristar box at a flea market for $10, and found a cart a couple weeks back.

It was the first game I was ever over-hyped for. I remember being disappointed in many ways when I first played it. But now I've come to terms with what it was and trying to be and it's alright. Not my favorite FF, but not my least either.

Serious question. How much of the content and discussions of this board is guided by pure nostalgia? A longing for that brief, innocent time in all of our lives when we were ten or eleven. Staying up all night finishing OoT, or skipping school and spending half the day at the Golden Saucer?

Is there any objective truth to the value of these retro games? Or is this all one shared, subjective, pool of nostalgia? One option isn't necessarily better than any other.

It's just videogames, technically it's all dull mindless entertainment.
>>
>>3114579
I would say probably 25% overall. Some people are mostly guided by nostalgia, some don't care about it at all. Most are about in the middle.

I don't know about objective truth, but there are a lot of old games I still like many years later and there are old games I try for the first time and find I like as well. I also like many new games as well though.
