What's the first (retro) game that /vr/ remembers actively anticipating before its release? As in, you didn't just see it at a store or receive it as a gift, you knew it was coming out and we're excited for it.
I'm pretty sure mine would be Pokemon Gold and Silver. The first issue of EGM I ever bought had a big preview of GS, and magazines were pretty much my only source of game news as a little kid. I lost track of how many times I read that single issue of EGM over and over.
Majora's Mask
ocarina of time
I didn't pay attention much to game magazines and stuff until after the /vr/ era. I just played what I saw in the video store.
Was Malon the best Ocarina of Time gril?

The head ruined it for me. I liked Naboruu

I too have a weird thing for big-nosed wimmens.
The entire premise of this is fundamentally flawed unless split-screen can become a feature.
And yet Chip'n'Dales, Goof Troop, Secret Of Mana, and just every run&gun and beat-em-up work perfectly fine in non split screen co-op...
>>2819503
But those are 2D games. The screen can be easily locked.
It's harder to have both players on one screen in 3D game because of the camera.
>>2819503
A big open 3D platformer is obviously a different story.
Anyone still play this over private servers?
Got my broadband adapter but the people on Sylverant have gamecubes
>>2817079
I play on Ephinea, it's alright
Schthack broke up because they're all niggers that can't get along some shit and probably some combination of everyone jumping ship to PSO2, making it pointless to maintain anymore
>>2817082
Yeah, I feel ya. Fuck Sega for not making an NA version of PSO2. I want to buy the jap version but that's a lot of nonsense just to play it and not know wtf is going on
PSO is awesome, played the original DC version way back in the day, still got my save file but using it online is a pain nowadays.
Easily the best game on the Dreamcast for my money, even with all the cheaters, although even the cheaters were pretty high quality. I can't think of any other games where somebody could maliciously overwrite your save with a random low level NPC.
It's a shame that schtserv went down. It might not have had the best admin team but it really feels like the end of an era.
Lately I discovered a pretty good PSO-like game in the sadly not retro (just turned 10 years old on Monday) .hack//fragment for ps2. They definitely weren't subtle about how much they loved PSO, I haven't tried the private server online mode yet and this is pretty off topic so I'll shut up, but yeah PSO is great.
If I'm going to play Chrono Trigger, should I play the SNES or PS1 version? Keep in mind, I'm not looking forward to paying $100~ for the SNES version either, and I don't like emulating. Thanks.

do whatever makes you happy
>please tell me the answer I already have in my head but want to hear from you
Fuck off

Another platformer similar to Claw, similarly beautiful in art direction, and even more similar with unrelenting difficulty. Claw is more fluid while Pitfall has this frustrating delay in actions which make it even more frustrating.
You can find it for download everywhere, but unfortunately no sound or music on newer systems unless you run in compability mode for Windows 95, although this frezees up the exe, at least in my case. Which is a shame since music is awesome.

Genesis ROM works just fine, but the graphics are toned down so I opted for PC version.

I was more Bermuda Syndrome back then.
Does anyone know what the PCB of this looks like, exactly? I found a few pics online, but I'm not sure if they're the China versions. I want to get one and solder a DSP-1 chip from Pilotwings to it. I would also like to know what the proper orientation of the chip is. Thanks.

Weird anon, I was just about to make a thread about the "knockoff" everdrives.
I wanted to ask is there really any difference at all between these ones and the "offical" ones , functionality wise.
I don't plan on playing anything superfx
>>2813352
As far as I know there isn't much of a functionality difference. I can't say anything about the Snes version but when I tried a bootleg Genesis everdrive it bricked itself after 2 games.
>>2813352
Pros:
-$50
-No functional difference, other than obviously not playing enhancement chip games
-It works in all consoles and plays all regions, including ROM translations
-Saves without resetting or any of that weird shit
-Can import .srm saves from elsewhere
-Can export .srm saves I believe
-You're not supporting that kike Krikz
Cons:
-No Cheats/savestates (if that's even a con)
-Supposedly lower build quality and much lower longevity (heard an anon said he went through 2 of these in a year)
-Can't (or maybe shouldn't) upgrade firmware - it can potentially brick your shit if you use krikzz' sabotaging garbage
Hey CRPG fans, I need some help.
Wizardry has always been one of those games I've really wanted to get into. I love modern RPGs like Etrian Odyssey, SMT, etc., and never seem to have too bad of a time with their difficulty.
Wizardry on the other hand, just fucking kicks my ass. I really want to start enjoying it because there are so many games in the series and a lot of fairly unique traits that I'd find right up my alley. But within like the first couple minutes of booting up, my party will just get insta wiped sometimes no matter how prepared I feel. And if I do happen to get past that first couple of hours, it's always something else that pushes me away from embracing the experience.
One of my greatest dreams on my bucket list is bring a party from Wizardry 6 - Wizardry 8. If anyone can help me achieve this, it'd be much appreciated.
Just keep grinding and reloading until you're atleast level 2

>it's always something else that pushes me away from embracing the experience.
You're fundamentally wrong son, you're literally embracing the experience, Wizardry isn't one of those games where you can blast through enemies like 90% of RPGs, you start weak as shit and you have to learn which enemies you can afford to fight and what you have to run the fuck away from for every floor of the dungeons.
Start from the classic, the PS version called Legacy of Llylgamyn is the best version available in terms of everything, the only bad thing about it is that you can't set macros like in the PC versions but all the rest is the best you can find, don't be scared by the fact that ot's JP only, it has an english language version too, it's so good that you can even freely swap graphics from the classic version to the remake version.
Wizardry IV is a love or hate and it's one of those games that are absloutely not for plebs so feel free to skip it if you get too frustrated, V returns to the classic mechanics, those 2 also got a PS remake like he first trilogy and the quality is as great as the first one, you can even change IV to play more lika a SMT game if you don't like the original mechanics,but why would you even want to do that anyway?
After those you can jump to the last trilogy, given that as you said, you really want to know what Wizardry was about.
There's also the Wizardry Gaiden games, which aren't half bad but are more rooted in the classic trilogy and don't quite follow all the new stuff that was added from Wizardry V and beyond.
Wizardry is shit, 1-5 are nearly unplayable and 6 is a mediocre cRPG
7 is kinda interesting tho
There's a reason actual RPG fans cared about Might & Magic and other better franchises
I remember playing this game at our local roller rink when I was eight or nine. It must have done a number on me because I still think about it at least once a month.
>>2807375
somehow I never heard of this before. wtf?
>>2807413
It's called Chiller.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiller_(video_game)
There's an unlicensed NES game that goes for a nice price too.
Breath of Fire thread.
What is your favorite Breath of Fire and why?
2, because Katt does not wear pants and that is hot.
Actually, I don't give a damn about your opinion, but you are gonna be all about mine.
What does /vr/ think of GameSack?
>>2819953
retards
annoying faggots with shit tier opinions. I'd say fuck you for starting another e-celeb thread, but they allow multiple AVGN threads and an eternal GCCX thread so continue on with your faggotry OP/
>>2819953
Unfunny and shitty opinions that they let out too much during their videos.
Neat collection though.
Whats up w Johnny from Chrono Trigger? Why would a robot care about being cool?
Why wouldn't you care about being cool?
>>2819245
Because robots ARE cool.
Specially the ones that can transform into bikes.
>>2819245
But he doesn't care.
That's what makes him cool.
This is a thread for collectors. What are some nonsensical things you have bought to fuel your obsessions? I collect Space Channel 5 stuff and I bought a sealed case of 12 copies of Space Channel 5. At this point, I fear that I have more money than I have sense.
pretty sure you've got everyone beat there bud
>>2818738
That is what I figured.
>>2818685
HA! That's fantastic. whats the love interest in this game?
Found these games at a local thrift store for around $10
Did I do good?
Each or in total?
>>2818149
Total
They were around a buck each.
If you can get a game for $2-3 and you don't have it then it's fine
Is there any good reason as to why people want consoles modded to have composite RCA inputs on systems that can output in RGB?
Even the shittiest scalers and converters hooked up with RGB look better than composite.
And if it's a thing about playing it on CRTs then why not just use the proprietary cables? Are people worried they'll stop being made?
>>2817564
>modded to have composite RCA inputs
what
>>2817564
hi, i mod sega genesis systems all the time. i've probably done 20 of them by now.
in the states, most people don't know about rgb. shocking, right?
when the guy my age wants to relive his childhood games he'll typically go to ebay to find one. seeing one with direct av out will always win.
plus, the genesis doesn't do s-video stock. for those without rgb input capable tvs (like, you know, everyone in the states) it's a huge boost in quality.
Certain people like to perform cheap simple mods to feel like hobbyists. It IS simpler to just use generic cables than to fuck around with the proprietary ones.
Honestly, despite the fact that I have an RGB monitor I've procrastinated about getting RGB SCART cables for fear of getting low quality ones that I'll need to mod after spending ~$20 plus worry about the scart to bnc adapter. I should just buy some 6RCA sets and mod the consoles directly.
