What are your impressions on using the Steam Link for retro games. whether native and emulated?
It sounds like a decent alternative to lugging the computer around or getting a full fledged computer for the living room.

Get a PSP
>>2906953
To connect it to a TV? And it's pretty limited to what it can play compared to your average PC.
>>2906956
Point. In that case just get a decent laptop or netbook
Best retro Star Wars game?
Star Wars Trilogy arcade is the king if you ask me
Also:
The Super Star Wars games
Rogue Squadron
Pod Racer
X-Wing/Tie Fighter
there's quite a few good retro Star Wars games now that I think about it
>>2906707
Tie Fighter or Dark Forces 2.
>>2906707
Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight
Accept no substitutes.
What did this game doright?
>>2906704
Lots of things, mostly graphics, sound, and battle system.
>>2906706
Naw, man. The battle system was experimental at best. I thought it was tedious and unsatisfying. But literally everything else is fucking fantastic, I just wish it was more fun for me. I tried too, I pumped in a lot of hours to the game several times and just can't dig it.
>>2906709
I understand your sentiments. When I first bought it, I was like "da fuck?", but after playing for a while and really starting to understand it I realized it was a really cool idea. The only downside in my mind was they game never really made you master it. Too bad you didn't feel the same way. To me it was Xenogears battle system done right, and I think we can all agree that one sucked ass (but was a necessary slog to finish such a good story).
Best Sierra adventure game?

That's not Quest for Glory, OP
>>2906650
D-dad...?
As someone who never had an experience with early PC games, looking at them now, they're fucking terrifying.
The sounds are scary, the visuals are just... off and terrifying. It's not just the space quest games, but all the point and click adventure games, they're fucking scary, regardless of content. I'm glad I grew up with the SNES/64 era, because I would hate my life if I had that shit growing up.
Hello ! i bought a classic gameboy a couple years ago with the screen really clean and nice without a dead pixels, today was cleaning my room and i find it with this rounded spot in the Lcd screen...
It have a fix ?
>>2906635
Oh don't worry, OP. That's just the Amiibo reader.
>>2906635
was something sitting on it? looks like the screen protector is pressed against the lcd.
Can we have a /vr/ related Shin megami tensei,Majin tensei and related games thread? I'm doing a second run through the first two SMT games and am working my way through the first one again. Any one played Majin tensei? Is it worth it?
Some anon from /smtg/ played it a long time ago. He said it was pretty decent.Basically a legit FE x SMT game.
>>2906536
I didn't care for the original Majin Tensei, but Majin Tensei 2 was pretty good. Doesn't have the giant sprites from the first game, but some of those were kind of awkward, anyway.
How can you change the refresh rate on a CRT? My Panasonic CRT has been flickering, and it really drives me insane. I've heard that changing the refresh rate helps, but I'm not sure how to do it.
>>2906530
15kHz CRTs as popular on /vr/ are typically fixed refresh rate. Consoles are also fixed refresh rate. PC monitor CRTs are variable refresh rate, and some games are variable frame rate, so for those you can change your refresh rate in the graphics card settings. For emulated or fixed framerate games changing the refresh rate will destroy motion quality, so you have to deal with the flicker.
Note that flicker is literally the only way to get high motion quality at low latency from 60fps content. 60fps isn't "high framerate", it's the bare minimum acceptable.
>>2906546
>>2906546
That really sucks. On a semi-related note, is there any way to upscale the NES's composite video? The best quality I can get on my CRT is component, no s-video. Is there any composite to component converter I could use to make it look somewhat better?
I know people will shit on me for saying that I want to use a converter, but it looks horrible on my CRT for reason.
>>2906558
No, NES cannot output component or RGB, and any converter will just be the same thing as is already in the CRT. You need something like the NESRGB mod (RGB can be converted to component with no perceptible lag or quality loss).
Or just emulate and avoid all this trouble (easiest with a PC monitor CRT, which looks better than a 15kHz CRT anyway).

oh hi
I'll just leave this here...

What is this, an "easy levels that are considered hard by e-celebs" thread?
This is easy. You should die maybe the first time you play it. I assume you didn't beat the rest of the game, because there are much harder parts.
>>2906494
Well of course you leave it there, you don't have time to drag the bombs away when you're on such a short timer. Speeding to the next one is the only logical move.

Hi /vr/ did any of you play this game? It's the best Turn Based Strategy game i've ever played.
No. Good luck in your search for others who have played it.
I tried this a few weeks ago and couldn't figure out how to spawn any creatures. I swear I pressed every button and went through every menu and couldn't come up with anything.
>>2906448
I've never played it, but I've heard of it because it supposedly inspired the (non-/vr/) Battle for Wesnoth.
Retro and border line retro recommendations for some games to get off GOG?

Why did Japan have so much better box art for SNES games? Is that typical for other systems? I know I've seen some alternate cover art and disc art for symphony of the night and a few others.
>>2906315
grass is always greener ya fucking faggot.
>>2906319
Compared to the clean design of the Japanese version, the American one seems really cluttered with unnecessary selling points and branding. pic related
>>2906315
Wait wait wait. WAIT wait wait wait wait. You're bitching that Japan had better box art that us, and as your pictured example you choose a game that had THE EXACT SAME PICTURE as the box art for both versions?
Is Sypha trans?
If it's not explicitly stated in the canon that the character is cis, they're canonically trans
source: tumblr
>>2906341
Early in the game she presents as male, and is referenced with masculine pronouns.
In the ending, she presents as female, and the game notes that she "is becoming more comfortable with herself."
Trans.
Is Simon belmondo?
Anyone here have a 3DO? If so, do you like it or have any fond memories of it? Favorite games?
3DO general, I guess.
>>2906263
I have the bottom two. They're meh.
Pretty much only enjoyed Gex. I also had Pataank which was good for a laugh but confusing. PO'ed gave me early boners from the naked women enemies with rocket launcher arms
I have a Panasonic FZ-1 (lower right not the camera) and it's good for a diversion or to delve into a liitle obscurity. There are some good FMV games on it that I don't have the funds to play on Laseractive and a few exclusives that are for sure enjoyable even beyond their novelty plus it doesn't really have a good emulator but it plays burned discs and only runs like $60 right? Worth having.

games you've never beaten despite trying
One of these days I'll beat this level...
It's just never going to happen. I can accept that now. But it's such a good game that I keep playing it anyway.
Like half my collection, easy. Including many from my childhood.
![1236100275-00[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/6fpQ9A5.png "1236100275-00[1].png")
I've tried. I want to like the game, but it honestly has the worst controls I have ever encountered - And this is a side scroller!
Le Shouty Youtube Man would have a brilliant field day with this game.
