Anyone here tried it and have any opinions? Is it worth the money if you're not necessarily a purist?
Why buy clone consoles if you could just emulate?
>>3061384
This is easier to move around between tvs. I kind of want something to use as an option rather than to replace emulation.
>>3061387
raspberry pi? its even easier to move around
What are some examples of retro games that offer incredibly solid control? You know, where the game's physics achieve just the right balance of movement speed, responsiveness, simulated gravity, jumping height, etc.
Pic related. Super Metroid is a pretty tight and fast-paced game once you master Samus' maneuvering.
>>3060692
>Super Metroid
>good controls
Is this a new epic meme?
>Metroid
Eh, gotta have to disagree with this one.
>default scheme shoots with X, jumps with A and runs with B
>missile, super missile, grapple, x-ray select all messed up
>moon jump physics everywhere, something that doesn't happen in any other metroid
How old were you when you realized Miriam is actually the wisest faction leader in the game?
From most hated to favourite, it has been an interesting journey.
https://youtu.be/e7t7CWZcZuc
She looks like "Deal's a Deal" girl.
>>3060486
She does.
>>3060387
And how exactly is she the the wisest?
Seems like a religious fanatic loon to me.
Sort of a smarter but more psychotic Sarah Palin
Are you some kind of a /pol/fag?
Do you agree with this /vr/?
What, the Nintendo is doomed meme? It's been a thing since the 80s when the NES came out.
6th gen will never be retro.
Is it just me or is this game the suck?
1) Too easy.
2) Too many areas with too much walking not enough action.
3) Most of the bosses only have like 1 attack pattern, or 2 at the most.
4) I don't like the aesthetics or functions of the sub weapons.
5) That split screen stage is dumb.
>>3060069
Agreed. It gets overrated by butthurt Segafags that never got the good Castlevanias like Super IV.
>>3060069
You made this thread with the true purpose of baiting didn't you? You DO know that castlevania threads are fucking cesspools?
>>3060086
Sounds like someone got blown the fuck out in a Castlevania thread and is still upset over it.
![Arcade's Greatest Hits - Williams [U] [SLUS-00201]-front.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/FsnMbjD.jpg "Arcade's Greatest Hits - Williams [U] [SLUS-00201]-front")
Retro game collections that are on the PS1, PS2, and PS3.
Like:
- Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection (PS3)
- Namco Museum 50th Anniversary (PS2)
- Intellivision Lives! (PS2)
- Williams Arcade's Greatest Hits (PS1) [I plan on getting this one]
Neo Geo Online Collection.
Bretty fuckin expensive too
Namco museum on ps1 is great. There are two of them, one of them includes 32 bit remakes of some of the games.
Sega did the same remake idea with SEGA AGES collection on ps2, although the results were kind of all over the place quality-wise they are still worth a look.
>>3059932
Pic related is the only one for the PS1 I really cared for. If you like Centipede, the arcade version of it is included in Centipede 3D for PS1. Centipede 3D is pretty enjoyable, so I'd rather keep that around than another Atari compilation that I may not actually play.
Gauntlet II is one of the more difficult games to come across. I didn't see any emulated ports until it was included with one of the Midway Treasure compilations for PS2, Xbox and GC.
Got a Vectrex today at a garage sale with Berzerk and 1 controller for 100 bucks. Did I do good? Also, I tried to use the player 2 slot to play Mine storm with my 1 controller and it didn't work. Is my player 2 controller port broken? It otherwise works great played berzerk for a good 20 mins earlier and mine storm for like 10 mins.
Aren't Vectrexes rare as fuck?
>>3059668
I think they're more so uncommon.
>>3059659
Yeah that's a good deal. Pretty pricey for a yard sale but since you were obviously able to test it, yeah worth twice that pretty easy. I also only have one controller for mine and I haven't tried swapping but it's quite possible it needs to be plugged in when the machine comes on to register. Remember it's analog. Now you just have to decide if you want to be like me, invest in a multicart and be endlessly frustrated by no overlays or if you want to slowly accumulate the ever-appreciating originals with overlays.
>>3059668
Yes, quite. They haven't been completely discovered by the collecting community at large either so they're set to blow up pretty soon.
Hey /vr
Today I found an interesting glitch or easter egg in Blood.
If you use the "noclip" cheat and try to pass through some walls of the Rest for the Wicked (E2M3) level, you can see a message that says "REPLACE WITH TILE #2500 THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Besides, some sprites can be seen depending on the wall you try to pass through
Will Action Replay work on a Japanese Saturn?
>>3059513
thanks m8
My Action Replay 4M Plus has a serial port on top. Is that relevant?
>>3060141
That's the old version. It was used to connect to your computer and upload new cheat codes. You have to manually enter them into the new models.
What is /v/'s opinion on Clint Basinger, aka LGR?
uh, /vr/ I mean
he's ok
>>3059461
It seems like his channel was made for me. I enjoyed marathoning a lot of his reviews I had on my backlog after Mark from CGR kind of dropped the ball. He's legitimately funny and one of the few reviewers to question his own judgement, takes on games rarely featured elsewhere, and does so on real hardware since he's for collecting stuff.
His Duke impression is dead on and it's no wonder we think alike since we love Duke Nukem 3D to death, that's always the mark of a great personality along with having a patrician childhood like I did (PC/DOS). Even though he's into the patreon craplock he's always 100% honest and far from any clickbaiting. Plenty of informative content too.
So, I was wondering if you guys could recommend your favorite single player games that you think are just fun to turn on and play?
I just started emulating games recently and played through all the old Sonic titles as well as Donkey Kong Country and want some more specifically for SNES and Genesis, don't worry about recommending games that seem like obvious answers because I haven't really played these consoles since my youth (I was actually just going to find a Mario rom but I don't even remember which ones I liked, so I figured I'd just ask for general recommendations)
No fighting games.
#thewayitsmeanttobeplayed
>>3059486
You are just in every fucking thread aren't you. Suck at fighters much?
>>3059495
He sucks at them and is eternally pissed that he'll never be good enough to really play them. It's funny and sad at the same time.
>>3059223
I take it by turn on and play, you're looking for something action oriented where you don't have to learn much before starting? Most retro games are just turn on and play.
A few random recommendations
>Space Harrier
Fast paced, very fun rail shooter. Simple but challenging.
>Ranger-X
Really fun arcadey action game where you fly around in a mech.
>Metal Slug (any of them really)
Great for run and gun action, just start shooting and keep moving
>Earthworm Jim
Another straight action-platformer, very well made a ton of fun and goofy.
These are a bit of a stab in the dark, but are all excellent games in my opinion.
what great games did /vr/ make you discover? for me it was bulk slash and popful mail.
>>3059108
/vr/ in general renewed my interest in getting a saturn, it had been on my want list for years but life got in the way/just generally wasn't on my mind.
Bulk slash is definitely one I picked up because of /vr/ though, Maken X (dreamcast) is one I'm about to try as well that was recommended to me.
/vr/ got my interest on the PC Engine, Saturn, DC, C64, Amiga, and MSX up. Bulk Slash is an impressive saturn game you can adjust to it very quickly. RIP Hudson Soft they made/published so many quality titles
Maybe I'm a huge nerd, but /vr/ didn't make me discover any game I didn't know already.
Except for that Garage game or whatever that I honestly don't care that much about.
Jesus christ, what went wrong with the audio?
Did Capcom hand over the sound programming to the casual intern?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2yg5fQwEhI
It was perfectly fine in the non-Super version too...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylhlnrvrOII
The megadrive version of CE was done by capcom and I think by the time super came out for Gen capcom was breaking its relationship with sega and might have gotten another company to do it.
That's some pretty sweat cover art
>>3059025
>capcom was breaking its relationship with sega
>proceeds to give massive support for the saturn and dreamcast
If anything they were STARTING their fruitful relationship with SEGA
hey guys
just finished policenauts and snatcher, it was so great. what should i play next? are there any decent detective\cyberpunk-ish visual novels out there?
>>3058917
Three sisters? No, I'm not kidding.
Illusion City (Gen'ei Toshi). Mostly even translated.
SD snatcher might be a hoot
Praise this game. Now. Praise it.
I praise thee, O Grand Head

>>3058921
Thank you.
Played this again after 6-7 years and I'm still blown away by it.. God bless you Treasure
