Bought it last week, forgot how good it was
Why can't Rare make great games like that anymore? It's such a shame...

This game was ages ahead of its time. Games today rarely have the 2nd weapon mode and any less the bot personality and the such... why gaming have become so shitty?

Because they've been stifled and killed by MS, forced to make Kinect games and Viva Pinata.
Nintendo and Rare was Lennon and McCartney.
Who's playing this today?
I play it every day of my life, OP. That's what being American is all about.
Not me, but I did finish replaying Day of the Tentacle.
>>3336548
YOU HAD FUCKING BETTER, FAGGOT!
Did /vr/ play this game? I just picked it up at the local retro gaming store. I just found out there's a glitch where you can easily get through that stairwell stage easier. Anyone try it?
Big fan of 2600/MD Ghostbusters, Genesis Ghostbusters AND 7th gen Ghostbusters but never played this one.
epic meme bro
Namco arcade thread
Pac & Pal is one of the more unknown Pac-Man games. Like in Super Pac-Man, you have to open gates by eating keys (cards this time). A new feature is items that you can use to stun the ghosts, like the capture beam from Galaga, and the smoke screen from Rally-X. It's a lot of fun.
I remember playing this on Namco Museum Megamix, pretty fun.
Anybody remember pic related?
I just got a PSN card and bought all 5 volumes.
Volume 4 is downloading right now, can't wait to play muh Tower of Duraga
Is it weird I actually like Pac & Pal and Super Pac-Man quite a lot? Everybody brings them up as examples of Midway/Namco whoring out the license but I think they're pretty fun. I won't argue for Professor Pac-Man, though.
Dragon Buster.
N64 emulation is great.
>>3336326
>Emulation
There are only a handful of good games for the 64, you might as well just buy a cheap ass Japanese one, get a US power supply and a chink flash cart (or find the games at a garage sale and cut the tabs).
That's only like $50-100 if you look around. Emulation is shit and complaining about it isn't going to make the devs improve it.
>>3336326
Can anyone shed any light on the technical reasons why that's happening?
Hi /vr/, thought you'd probably be the best place for this
Recently found a bunch of NES games in my attic, just wondering if any of them are worth anything
(I'm not hopeful but I'll dump anyway)

RESELLER SCUM GET OUT REEEEEEE
I want to mod my ps1 mini NTSC so I can dive into some of the harder to find games. What mod chips are compatible? Any advice on where to buy them?
MM3 chips wirk with everything and are only 4 bucks a pop. I hope you know how to solder.
>>3336074
I went for an MM3 from EurAsia along with a handfull of their 30 awg wire. All around a good investment, but after buying the chip, 2 stacks of Taiyo Yuden discs, extra memory cards and a CD book to hold the burnt discs, I could have bought a PSIO for the same price. Just remember to go extra easy of the solder, no globs needed.
>>3336113
>$200 for that
God where do you live.
Dug out my PS1 demo discs.
I miss demos.
I miss demos too.
I know the internet hooked up to consoles has made shit more convenient but it's not the same thing.
>>3336014
I think it's better. One of the things I liked about xbox 360 was the number of demos they had. Every single arcade and indie game has one. And 3DS does very well for demos as well. Was playing the one for the new Monster Hunter all weekend.
when i was a kid i used to steal them out of the magazines
Let's talk about Rocket Knight Adventures.
What's with the weird graphic/design changes between the original title and the two sequels? And why were the sequels so similar, yet so different on SNES/Genesis?
Was the auto-charging, instant rocket added after 1 casualized? I honestly kinda prefer the first game's system of holding the button to charge the rocket manually and then once you let go your movement is locked until you hit the ground. It afforded for more strategic play.
>>3335935
I still need to buy Rocket Knight Adventures 1.
>>3335935
>What's with the weird graphic/design changes between the original title and the two sequels?
The devs wanted to make Sparkster edgy like Sonic since that was a trend in 90s mascot platformers.Also the 2010 reboot looks shitty because Western devs were in charge.
>>3336081
The 2010 reboot, like many such outsourced late sequels/reboots, totally missed the point of the originals and it would have been better if it was never made at all.
The new Strider and Shadow of the Beast also come to mind.

First for memes
What bosses from vidya do you think could be remade in ZDoom that could still be fun in Doom's gameplay?
Did she have a thing for Link?

ITT Western games trying very hard to be Japanese. Can anybody name a more weeaboo /vr/ game than World Rally Fever?
Thanks op, I've got a new game to play. Looks cool.
>>3335035
When I played the newly released demo version as a kid, I'd never seen any anime/manga, so I missed the weeabooness. I thought this さん was a graphics glitch.
>>3335040
It turns out you really can sneak gay porn into your All Ages game if you're subtle about it. After all, nobody can read the caption, right?
What RPGs can I play a necromancer in? Or at least have a Necromancer character somewhere in the story that can join my party?
I noticed that dark magic/necromancy doesn't seem to be common in most retro rpgs.
Fun fact, in Skies of Arcadia, there is supposedly a destroyed 7th moon, a Black Moon, that would have most likely be negative energy/necromancy focused magic.
>>3334810
Not quite retro, but Diablo 2.
>>3334830
I was talking more about traditional RPGs with parties and stuff.
NES or Playstation? What console deserves to be the greatest console of all times? There can be only one.
That's not some SNES vs SMD battle. They don't have similar graphics, the newer - the better. They barely belong to the same time,
But still, they were revolutional when they were released.
And only YOU can decide, which was more revolutional, NES/Famicom or Playstation.
LET THE HOLY WAR BEGIN.
People born in the 80s will choose NES, and people born in the 90s will choose PS1, duh.
Anyway, I pick NES, guess what decade I was born.
>>3334404
born in 80s and i choose psx still
nes has a lot of garbage and "nintendohard" bullshit but the psx is fucking legit
>>3334424
What does "fucking legit" means?
PS1 also has a lot of garbage. That's something that happens with popular systems.
What are some good retro JRPGs for someone who enjoys grinding?
