Since most of the good rts games are now retro I thought I'd start the thread here.
Some examples starcraft, warcraft ii, dune 2000, age of empires and more.

Herzog Zwei

Nice choice, it started the whole genre.
In your opinion what is the best RPG you have played?
Mars Matrix, you collect cubes to use as currency and there is an exp system.
>>2997390
I'm usually not big on RPGs, but I'd have to say Planescape Torment and Deus Ex. If you count Star Control 2 as an rpg then that's in there too. I'm hoping to get into the Ultima series some time. Maybe play Teranigma as well.
I really liked Vagrant Story.
Great setting, great combat, cool box puzzles, interesting weapon crafting / combining system. Cool story, great music. Awesome locations and ambiance.
Im gonna get one of these, and I want to know if its a good machine?
>Im gonna get one of these, and I want to know if its a good machine?
Sounds like you've already made up your mind.
Do you want people to validate your decision or convince you that you're an idiot for buying one?I really don't get these threads, is it just me?
>>2997329
you dont get these threads because your self-centered.
What is wrong with asking if a dubious piece of chinese crap is worth it?
>>2997325
i had a gp32 back when. modern phones with a controller can do better and have more functinality. every china device I've seen/used always has some sort of serious drawback
Just discovered this game yesterday, and I'm having a hard time putting it down. Anyone else out there love this game?
>>2997234
enjoyed the shit out of it in my childhood.
>>2997234
Yeah, it's pretty good. That box art on the other hand, is hideous.
You might want to play dragon quest 3 too after that.
1. I just beat System Shock 2
2. I need a thread about it
3.what the FUCK was that ending
>>2996892
>I need a thread about it
nah
I've got System Shock 2 on Steam and haven't gotten to it yet other than maybe an hour. Any advice?
>>2996998
Standard weapons
Maintenance
Hacking
Those are the only skills you need to invest in.
Is it even worth buying a legitimate Earthbound copy, or should I just buy a reproduction?
>>2996462
You could spend $200 or you can spend $20.
>>2996462
Emulate or get the Wii U release...if you are one of 10 people who have one.
>>2996462
That is solely up to you, isn't it?
I think there's a decent chance that Earthbound carts haven't hit their max price, if that makes a difference.
Let's settle this matter once and for all: which was the better Chrono game, and why?
http://poal.me/t566xf
come on...
Trigger.
Akira Toriayama.
>>2996438
Trigger, not even an argument.
Is this a good website?
Judging it purely as a website , I think it's rather mediocre. Navigating the side is annoying.
I like the content though.
>>2996142
They could do with a mobile site or app
>>2996130
No. It's corrupt as fuck and their "opinions" are objectively false. They're literal faggots.
What does /vr/ think of hqx filters? Which games do you use them with? Which games look terrible with them?
Not for me
None
All of them
>>2995903
Filters were cool when emulating was still in its infancy. Now they are just eyesores.
>using filters ever
Absolutely disgusting
>incoming 200 images with RetroArch filenames
These threads are just an excuse for autists and shills to wallow in their own cancer

IDOCING has always been the superior money maker. By 1000x. and requires 0 skill training.
If you weren't a pleb you'd know this.
>>2995603
>requires 0 skill training
maybe if you have young status and you can avoid getting stomped by the 3 other guilds camping it.
>>2995601
Didn't tskr me that long to hit gm taking on uof. Though its boring as fuck to train and play as anyway. A bard archer can be trained in like 10h and can cash in just as much gold and are a lot more fun.

>Oh well, I guess it's this dungeon next (go to Dungeon #3 that's marked on the English manual map

Turns out I had already completed that one too.
Zelda is hard, guys.
>>2995461
You inspired me to play this on my phone so I can curse in public
>>2995697
It's definitely a game best suited for short sittings.
>>2995461
Been playing through Link's Awakening over the past couple of days. I realize now why I loved it so much as a kid. It literally holds your hand most of the way... except for the fucking trading quest...
Would it be possible to get a computer from the mid-late 90s that could play games all the way from that point in time backwards to the earliest computer games, with little to no emulation involved?
I think I'd actually like to, as a hobby, have an old-ass PC and play old Windows and DOS games without having to emulate DOS or run anything in compatibility mode.
Is this doable? How cheaply could it be done? Do you think the novelty would wear off quickly or could it be a genuinely rewarding hobby?
uh, yes. People do it all the time. search youtube for "win98 build"
>>2995437
Cool. Thanks. I have about $100 to throw around, so I guess I can get cracking next weekend.
>>2995353
no, it is impossible. trying to use old computers is against nature and the sweaty astral projection of Steve Ballmer will haunt you screaming "DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS" if you even try.
what is the worst game controller
>>2995321
Your dad
Also, the Dreamcast controller
>>2995321
N64 controller, unless you're an Octopoid of course.
if you played the virtual boy what was your experience?
>>2995281
back pain and eye strain
mine was dizziness
>>2995281
it was fun
what are you playing today?
pic related = my choice
