At least come forward and say it's your own. It's so obvious that it's insulting you'd think you could just drop it here and get a bunch of free clicks and views, rather than being cool about it and maybe asking for opinions.
Here's your single (You), enjoy it.

You really think blank banshee comes to this cancer hole of a site?

THE INTERNET on April 4th, 1998
Designing for 1024x768 was fun, so was using tables with borders and browser safe fonts.

I love the arcade original but the master system port is too cushy and ruins what the arcade version had going.
How do you guys deal with retro PC games eating every spare CPU cycle? It's really annoying when you're trying to get into a game, but then there's the distraction of your CPU fan roaring at full speed like a vacuum cleaner non-stop.
Why does this shit happen in the first place?
>>3087584
limit them to 1 core ?
>>3087616
I am running one one core. A considerably fast one at that.
I don't even understand why these games feel the need to reserve every spare cycle that isn't in use, even when they don't need the additional cycles in the first place. I'm talking about games whose recommended requirements probably include a Pentium II processor. Running them on a P4 would still hog up every cycle.
I use windows xp sp2 on a virtual machine. It doesn't always work but when it does it gives me savestates :D
What is the best system of the IV generation which is not SNES, SMD, PCE and Neo Geo?
What is the best system of the V generation which is not PSX, Saturn and N64?
Game Boy
>>3087123
This, as it existed for both 4th and 5th gen.
/thread
>>3087118
Assuming this thread is about consoles only and not handhelds or home computers (or consolized home computers like FM Towns Marty and Amiga CD32 which were pointless since classic home computers could hook up to a TV anyway).
4th Gen:
Capcom CPS changer>Super A'can>Philips CD-i
5th Gen:
3DO>Jaguar>PC-FX>Pippin
So a new arcade and comic shop opened up in my home town of Evansville Indiana. I have not been there yet but it's amazing that someone would open one up in this small town

I think it's nice this guy invested a lot of money to help dads introduce their kids to retro games and then go home and install some emulators and never come back.
Swillburger / The Playhouse in Rochester NY is pretty cool.
Good burgers, great cabinets.

>buying NES games when Famiclone games are dirt cheap
For what reason?
>>3087104
Because they're the original thing and look cooler. Famiclone cartridges are made out of cheap plastic that literally begins to rot after a while
>>3087104
>buying his bullshit when it's an obvious troll
For what reason?
hey /vr/. i'm wondering if anyone has a good guide for beating omega and ruby weapon. i want to start a new game with only this in mind and would like to build my characters, weapons and materia to optimally defeat them without the use of KOTR.
any help is appreciated!
>>3086962
Eh if you're using a walkthrough what's the fucking point? I just heard someone say you should enter the fight with 2 knocked down partners and phoenix on final attack, also ruby is weak to paralyze
>to optimally defeat them without the use of KOTR
Why would you do this to yourself?
Any I saw a video where Barret does a limit break and kills Emerald Weapon in one turn. Not sure how it worked, but it has so much HP you literally have to exploit the game. Like KOTR+doublecast then had everyone mimic repeatedly.
you're gonna get some broken enemy skill you would never have heard of if it weren't for /vr/ then complain about the game being too easy
I just proved beyond that TMNT III The Manhattan Project is the best Turtles game
see?
I can't disagree
>>3086467
I don't get it
>>3086553
theres always one turtle ninja in every game that is OP, that everyone mostly uses (I think)
Because it has a special chip with Kanji font that most games simply included on the disc.
These games include:
Sword and Sorcery (localized as Lucienne's quest)
Demo version of Alone in the Dark (play the full game instead)
Twinkle Knights (hentai game)
Blue Forest Story (Saturn version available)
Cradle Moon
Blue Chicago Blues
(any more?)
Do you know of any other consoles that have this problem? Not a region locking chip, not the foreign cart won't fit in, but missing a little quirk that prevents certain foreign games from loading?
The 3DO had no region lock (and no copy lock) so it's peculiar that some games need a JP console.
Moon Cradle was also on the Saturn.
Blue Chicago Blues was also on the PC, PS, SS, and PC-FX.
The 3DO is a machine known for having many ports to and from the system and those ports were often the best versions.
>>3086256
Not.peculiar in the slightest. This is a well known issue seen on many jap systems.
>>3086282
Fuck, most of my systems are NTSC/UC.
So which consoles must I buy the Japanese version of to get full compatibility?

Thanks for the advice sonic
Is it just me or does anybody else get an instant headache when playing Axelay?
Not sure if it's something to do with the "rollerpin backgrounds" that's nauseating or the repetitive muffled SNES style instrumentation in the music.
It's sad too cause I like the game.
here is your problem
>>3085084
It's just you. I played this game for the first time one month ago and it looks AND sounds amazing. I find it a little hard but I am not a Shoot'em Up expert so I can't judge well.
I think it's just you
What does /vr/ think of Spacewar?
Nice curiosity.
>>3083984
Fucking physicists, thinking physically realistic space war far would be fun.physicists always invent the cool shit, represent!
>>3083984
I think I'm thankful to people like that, also first netplay game?
People love the old Mario games, Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World. Why is it that I literally never hear anyone talk about Super Mario Bros 2? When talking about the Mario games it seems like people tend to forget it even exists.
Why is this? It's not even a bad Mario title as far as the whole franchise is concerned.
>>3083525
Jsmb2/LL is all you're allowed to like. Your "creds" got a -2 debuff
SMB2U is my favorite classic Mario game because of the semi-non-linear level design, great music, and multiple characters.
>>3083525
People hate because it's "not a real mario game".
Personally, I think it's a very solid game but I prefer Super Mario World and Super Mario Land 2 because they got more replay value to me than this game does.
ITT: Post your smallest retro game collection.
