What are your thoughts on this theory? Do not post quotes from the 1UP interview with the designer of the controller, Teiji Goto. He's full of shit and hardly any games follow his "philosophy" (square for menu? top kek).

Leave and don't come back. Even when you turn turn 18, please don't come back.

The fuck're you talking about m8? Just because the picture is of a PS3 controller, doesn't mean it isn't relevant to a PS1 controller. Faggot.
>>3081039
Maybe ps3 is retro to him, since it's what he played when he was 5 years old just like me and NES.
was this a good game? I remember renting it as a kid and thinking it was cool
There are no good Rare games, only nostalgia and Kinect sports.
It's really nice and personally one of my favorite Rare games. It was developed by the Blast Corps team (another of my favorite games of theirs).
I've been replaying it recently and it's still fun as fuck to blow up these insects and dismember their limbs all around. I love the weapon variety.
The main thing to note is that you will need to go to the option screen and change the control scheme from normal to Expert. Expert controls will let you move in all 8 directions while on aiming move, it changes the game greatly for the better.

It's great, up until the end when it forces you to go back and collect every single tribal in the game in order to get to the final boss.
To this day I've never beaten it, because that's a level of bullshit that I refuse to accept.
It did a lot of cool things, though. The idea of having 3 playable characters who all worked slightly differently, and had different paths through the game was nifty, and the limited co-op play was pretty sweet if you had a friend.

Have you beaten the original Super Mario Bros?
Up until yesterday, I would've told you I never did it, but I buckled down really working at it and I've come up with a strategy and have since been able to beat the game several times consistently in a row. I've found that the game really isn't hard until you get to world 8.
I mastered the 3-1 1-up trick so that if I have any problems with world8 I can grind through it without a game over. I make sure to absolutely gain/hold onto a fire flower at 8-3 because I've deemed 8-4 basically impossible...

Welcome to the playa's club playa. You made it.
>>3080037
1. Having a fire flower is helpful sure but you can definitely beat 8-4 without it. It's just an issue of timing (Anticipate when the hammer bro is going to jump and then run). The hammer throwing bowser isn't hard at all, there's a dead zone where he can't hit you right in front of him, then when he jumps just run underneath him.
2. I've never needed to stock up on lives. Lives are fairly easy to get, just collect coins.
i've played it so many times that I can play through each level (no warp zones) without dying. I can't beat 2j though.
Retro tattoos?
Yay or nay?
>Tattoos
Nay because tattoos are stupid.
Nay to tattoos in general
...but if I ever changed my mind, pic related.
What's the best dedicated emulation portable you can get right now? Nvidia shields are getting harder to come by

Can we discuss how great the SID chip was for its time, and how good it is now for a 34 year old computer?

It's so good chinks knock it off to this day.
>>3076493
I discovered once there was the soundcard Innovation SSI-2001 for the IBM PC based on SID chip.
Some russian guy made a replica of it and it works. Pretty great work.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlmtU__glmU
This video shows prototype, but he finished his work.
Too bad the soundcard didn't get much popularity.
>>3076493
I fucking love it, but I really wish the filters weren't so damn fragile.
I've almost given up on finding a C64 or C128 with a non-broken SID chip for a price I can afford.
>>3077603
Are they any good?
The last batch of knockoff SID chips I heard about were just empty dip packages, some even has lead in them if you were lucky.
Anyone go hunting at yard sales or Flea markets still? I went out today and didn't find anything. Not even some junk games. Went to like 12 sales. Last week I got a Vectrex though. And week before got some game gear, game boy and genesis stuff. Any cool finds lately guys? Or general garage sale / flea market talk.
Quit going too much competition
emulate, thx to youtube everything is expensive
>>3075848
I've never had luck at garage sales, I remember I got to one once and when asking if they had videogames the guy said he had just sold all his stuff 10 min ago. I've had some luck at flea markets, got a snes for $7.00 once.
I never hear anyone talk about these games, probably because they were unknown outside of Japan until recently.
They made a sequel to Super Mario Bros. 2, a sequel to A Link to the Past, and a remake of the original Legend of Zelda.

I've know bout bs fire emblem akenia saga since 2005 lol
Was Mode 7 good?
How did it work?
Why no other games on other platforms replicated it?
>>3065618
it's just basically a texture, mapped to a flat plane, that can rotate and scale
>>3065618
Sega CD had it, and also had sprite scaling.
>>3065618
Those Contra 3 levels were fun fuck everybody

This thread is for the spirited discussion of CRT displays - Televisions, monitors and projectors used for the playing of retro games!
>Try to keep it /vr/-related: Nothing past 5th gen(+Dreamcast). Slight OT might be okay if related to CRTs (E.G. 16:9 compatible models, flatscreens, etc.) Systems with backwards compatibility are also pretty safe territory, assuming you're focusing on the older games. PC CRTs are also a-ok.

Is SMB2J the Dark Souls of retro games?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5apu4ML9Wto
King's Field is Dark Souls of retro games
>this game is like dark souls cause its hard lel
i'd say zelda 2 is the most actually dark souls-ish nes game
>>3086421
wasn't king's field a main inspiration for the souls games?
![37707-Tobal_No.1_[U]-1.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/JkakVbm.jpg "37707-Tobal_No.1_[U]-1.jpg")
I'll start off with my favorite fighter on psx.

>hidden gem
You know there's a Japanese exclusive Tobal 2 and you can capture the monsters in the dungeons to use in vs mode? Also check out Ehrgeiz
>>3086024
Played both, but thanks. Keep bumping the thread with more hidden gems.
Here's another little gem for the PSX.
downloaded a vb emulator just to play this, possibly some mario tennis and red alarm too. any other vb games worth playing or are they all shit?
>>3085174
VB had like 10 games.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Virtual_Boy_games#Released_games
The only other one people talk about is Jack Bros, but that's probably because of the megami tensi connection.
>>3085174
The VB actually had a pretty good, but very small, library. Give Teleroboxer, Jack Bros, and 3D Tetris a try.
Play Teleroboxer (although the control scheme might be hard to map on a regular control, you could still use the 4 face buttons as the 2nd d-pad.
Vertical Force is a decent shmup.
Galactic Piball is a pretty fun pinball game (although it's not an actuall ball, more like a disc).
Jack Bros.
Mario Clash
Innsmouse no yakata
SD Gundam Dimension Wars if you can read japanese and like SRPGs like the Super Robot War games.
There's some other puzzle games like V-tetris, Panic Bomber but I haven't tried those.
And if you like Golf games,...

How come we never talk about Alone in the Dark? The first three installments are amazing horror-adventureand Jack in the Dark is cool too. Arguably it what also spawned stuff like Resident Evil and Silent Hill.
Another great series relegated to oblivion by modern attempts to cash in on the franchise with mediocre products.
>>3080837
I quite enjoyed AITD4 - but I think it tried to deviate too much from the direction RE had gone - it should have remained about ghosts, zombies and the occult, that was it's core strength - no stupid 'shadow monsters' also the game that game out on the xbox 360 had some pretty neat mechanics - but 90% of the game was running around burning tentacles, who though that would be a good idea?
Somebody make the kick starter for a proper horror AITD!
>>3080864
4 was pretty and had its moments, but overall it was a very different style from the 90s gamesand it's not retro.
I always felt the real heir the series was Nightmare Creatures. While it was definitely more action-oriented, it did have a lot of AITD's gothic feel, slower pacing and spoopy atmosphere.
