Did the ZX Spectrum have any exclusive games?
It seems the main reason why it got so popular was the price of games.
A few pounds for a new game, while a NES game could go for 80GBP.
How big was the productivity push in comparison to gaming?
Most people seems to remember it as a gaming device.

>Did the ZX Spectrum have any exclusive games?
Dizzy series.
>How big was the productivity push in comparison to gaming?
On a rubber keyboard with a terrible layout? You'd have to be desperate to use one.
>It seems the main reason why it got so popular was the price of games.
More like the price of the base unit. Everybody copied that floppy, or in this case tape.

>On a rubber keyboard with a terrible layout?
I suppose ZX Spectrum clones were more popular around, so a rubber keyboard wouldn't be an issue.
What do you think of this game? Have you managed "the jump"™?

By far the best TMNT for the NES.
It's fun, never beat it.
>>3324261
This game gets a lot of threads for being a so-called "infamous legendary shitty game" that some e-celeb parrots seem to cry about. It's not really one of my favorites on the NES and some parts can get incredibly annoying (worlds 3 and 4 come to mind, don't even need to mention what comes after that).
That being said, it was one of the first games I have ever played and it still feels good playing it from time to time. The gameplay ideas were actually pretty interesting for the time and the music is still pretty good.
What do you think about my collection? It will soon get bigger and bigger hehehehe
I think it looks good man.
>>3324128
Show it somewhere people would care about your life. Which is not this site.
Is there any 3d_accelerated_era games, that actually looks better in software mode, like original Quake?
VGA quake looks terribad
>>3323953
Best recc I can give you is to try using the super8 source port, gives Quake a very cool mixture of nice opengl lighting and software rendered graininess
[also, not retro but try Devil Daggers for a modern pseudo-software rendered arcade shooter]
>>3323953
Back when GLQuake was new to me I thought it was the most amazing thing. Now I realise itstill looks better. This unfiltered texture meme is stupid. Quake's pixelated textures are fuck ugly, fuck you. Turning filtering off is for newer games with higher resolution textures.
What's the most graphically impressive retro game?
Ultima 9 or Quake 3
>>3323918
That's completely arbitrary.

Vagrant Story.
Okay /vr/, I've always been a Nintendofag but have been trying out the Genesis/MD through emulation and it's pretty nice. I'm interested in purchasing one but have seen quite a bit of conflicting information.
What is generally considered the best revision? I've seen many sources stating that model 1 with the HD graphics tagline is the best but other people swear by the model 2.
How does region locking work? I've seen some sources saying it's completely region free, others say that JP and US are completely compatible but PAL is not, and others saying there is no inter-region compatibility whatsoever.
Lastly, in the same vein, what is the region compatibility like on the 32x? Does the 32x have to match the region of the base system? Do 32x games have to match the 32x region, the base region, or both?
I'm sure more questions will come up throughout the thread but that's all I've got for now.
>>3323618
Model 1.
HD Graphics.
With the longer serial code on the bottom.

Sorry, fixed the link
Apparently people are really fond of talking shit about megaman X5, some even going as far as branding it the worst game of the series on a world where Megaman X7 is a thing (perhaps their minds have deleted any memories related to that abomination as a way to keep their sanity intact).
I genuinely enjoyed that game a LOT, and i think it is the best PS1 megaman game. Can somebody at least explain why so much hate for such an enjoyable game?
I love the game itself, it feels like it builds on x4...although the graphics aren't my favorite...anyway, here's a breakdown:
The game constantly stops you to waterboard you with unnecessary text, and boy does that fuck up the flow of the game. Also, boss's name...completely shit the bed. Game is way too easy and the graphics leave a little to be desired.
>>3323589
I liked it, but didn't really play it--save scummed on emulator.
The translation really bothered me l, it's so god awful in all the psx games.
I don't remember if it was 5 or 6 that had the random upgrade chips but didn't really enjoy that mechanic.
I disliked 6 because it shat on the rockmen zero canon.
Yeah, the X5+ series fuckled what coherence there was to the megaman storyline from the X series onward
is there literally any other than this fucker and probably some shit from the SMT series
way better than that gay ass greek shit and the all but eradicated celtic mythos (holy shit thanks for recording your history in songs and indecipherable runes you assholes)
>>3323498
Because the Rothschilds are the reincarnations of the Mesopotamian gods.
The Babylonian Castle Saga
>>3323527
aren't they members of that butt fucking cult where everyone tries to butt fuck their way to the top of the pyramid to become closer to divinity or something?
Like they literally have organized man hunts for the sport of murder and then have a pagan blood party before butt fucking each other using the blood of peasants as lube
Any thoughts on the game?
The 360 version is bullshit, it doesn't have the Game Gear games on it.
>>3323471
Fucking shit aside from the cheesy music. I have no idea how someone can recommend this game
>>3323471
Moderately fun but very unpolished. Has some pretty bad level design issues at times. The Rose levels are bad, and the Big levels are horrible. The other characters can be pretty fun though.
The world seems empty, like there are people, but not enough. The soundtrack compliments the world surprisingly well for a game with such mediocre environments.
The dialogue and voice acting is bad, but in a really entertaining way. It's really cheesy in its delivery.
All in all it feels like they accidentally released it when it was still in beta.
So Ive been thinking on changeing the battery in some of my GBC games
However Im confused on what type of battery to use
Do I have to use a 1616 battery or can I use anyone I would like?
>>3322840
It says right fucking there that it uses a CR1616 battery.
Of course you could use goliath D type batteries too, if you'd solder a battery holder extension onto the cart.
Sure, just shove a fatass AA battery in there.
I heard that these have a certain battery just like in the OP, but could a larger volt one be solderd instead?
Retro games where you kill commies?

Same thing
Hi, /pol/-kun.
Rush'n Attack has you infiltrate a Russian base to rescue POWs.
Conversely, Guerrilla War puts you in the role of two communist soldiers setting out to defeat a dictator. I believe the game's backstory was subject to some censorship by SNK out of fear of anti-communist sentiment in the West though.
please tell me ii'm not the only one who likes Final Fantasy I to VI because the new ones doesn't feel like FF
>>3321409
No you aren't, plenty of other people shit on anything that doesn't fit their autistic definition of what a game should be like.
If it makes you feel any better, I only liked the first one. And I didn't play it until like, 2010.
On the other hand, I also haven't played any of the 3D FF games.
>1997 is "new"
Yeah you're old

>forced to play any game you want for free instead of fighting a crowd to drop 50 cents per try into a game with sticky buttons and a broken stick

Pretty sure there's still arcades in major cities. I don't know about the diversity of their games though, I wouldn't be surprised if many of them are focused on Street Fighter V with a House of The Dead cab in the corner.
Plus there's always barcades, if that's your thing.
Was he the true hero of the Resident Evil games?
God bless you Tofu.
Yes didn't you read the manga?
Truly the hero to surpass Metal Gear.
Can i get some recommendations for some good rpgs? Im lookin for games with awesome characters and stories. Ive played ff9, grandia, chrono trigger, chrono cross, xenogears, and ff7. Ps1 and snes preferredpsp and ds are ok too if anything comes to mind
Thanks guys
My personal favorite is Breath of Fire 4.
Though if you liked Grandia check out the Lunars
>>3319108
I'd recommend
Final Fantasy Tactics and Valkyrie Profile
>>3319120
I know the stories are independent, but if there any reason to play bof3 before 4?
I tried the gba port of lunar, but i actually fell asleep about 2 hours in. Does it get less boring?
