I went back to play on a real genesis for the first time in like 20 years.
Damn the sound is terrible. I mean I never owned one but I played on my buddies at the time. Hours with zombies ate my neighbors.
A good revision too.
Was actually the first time I remembered something from childhood not being that terrible only to play now and it just being so inferior to the SNES.
Have any games from your childhood turned out to not be that great now that you’re an adult?
what games are you playing on it?
the key of video games having good sound isn't really the sound chip itself, but who was the sound technician working on the games.
>>2783175
Zombies ate my neighbors and bloodlines.
>>2783179
I don't think Bloodlines sounds bad at all, but Konami was generally better working with the SNES' soundchip.
Try game series like Sonic, Streets of Rage and Thunder Force.
Are there depressing retro games about nihilism, absurdism and existentialism like Lars von Trier's Melancholia?
NES,SNES,PS1,N64,Dreamcast,Sega,Gameboy(Color)?
I must think of all Final Fantasy titles, even the modern ones, mainly JRPGs.
Mostly Final Fantasy VI - Kefka
>Life… Dreams… Hope…Where do they come from? And where do they go…? Such meaningless things… I’ll destroy them all!
I hate how nihilism has been trivialized.
Say anything remotely nihilistic and internet meme-spouter will be the first ones to reply with some "witty" comment trivializing it like "tips fedora", etc.

what?

Son...
Anybody played this? I have the emulated version and I think its a pretty badass game. It would be cool if Konami made a remake of this game. Also does anybody here own a physical copy? just curious since copies of this game are rare.
>>2783074
It isn't really a rare game. Just popular. I paid 75 for a complete copy in 2003
I dream with a remake of this game !
>>2783078
I paid $100 in 2012 for my copy. It was going for about twice that at the time. Now it's going for even more. I don't believe how ridiculous these prices are getting.

What. The. Fuck.
>>2782364
Sounds like you need more than 400hp.
>>2782398
Team has ~600HP. If they do the attack where they halve a party member's HP twice in a row (which they've done twice now) then they can kill that party member with a regular attack in one fucking turn.
>>2782364
Beat the shit out of them but use water magic before they get a turn in. Their water element magic is pretty useless.
Where did the mechanic "if you are good at the game, the game rewards you and it gets much easier" came from?
Shouldnt it be the other way around so experiences players get a challenge?
>>2782242
Beats me. Gradius sure as hell don't follow that trend, the ranking system is bound to tear you down sooner or later, OP weaponry be damned.
Quarter munchers. They're designed so you either die quickly and someone else can walk up to the machine and drop money in to it, or if you are good, it gives you a rewards to keep one person constantly engaged. You could also argue it has roots in /tg/ rpgs where you level up and become more powerful. There's also a matter of design where some games are set up such that they reward time spent by making the game easier, while people who are good at it can skip various power ups and rush to the end faster. There's a reason no one gives a shit about high scores,...

op is playing the NES port, rank is much tamer in those
Is there a /vr/ recommended USB controller for emulation? I want to play mainly N64 and Gamecube games with a few 16 bit systems. I'm tempted to get USB to PlayStation 2 controller ports and using PS2 controllers... Will the sticks work correctly?
Pic is my old arcade machine which got damaged in a flood :(

Yes. Do that.

There is nothing better for classic games.
Generally the recommendation that gets thrown around here for 8/16 bit is a sega saturn controller via USB converter. I don't hear much good for third party usb controllers.
What else do I listen to if I like Spyro 1-3 soundtracks?
>>2781972
> Spyro music
> Posts Coco Bandicoot
I guess you could give Crash Bandicoot's music a try, though it is very different from Spyro's music (there's nothing quite like either of them, honestly). Crash 2's is the best. Some of the uncompressed music mixes for all 3 Crash games are avilable on Josh Mancell's Soundcloud profile.

Anything composed by Copeland really.

any links?

Are there any usb N64 style controllers that aren't complete wank? I've had two cheapy ones off of eBay (~£8 each) and the analogue sticks always seem to be mapped as the D pad so pretty useless.
Any decent ones out there?

>>2781753
Thanks anon, didn't think they'd be so cheap. Should have some controllers in storage with my N64.
>>2781745
Are there good usb ones out there? Retrolinks look OK.
The main selling point of a video game for me is whether or not it has cute little girls in it.
Help me find some retro games with which to sate my depravity, /vr/.
Pic related is a good example of the sort of game I'm looking for.
I'm interested in this topic as well. The only retro examples that come to my mind are Cotton, KiKi KaiKai and perhaps retro Touhou.

Arle is cute!
CUTE!
How do they survive the flames?
As I recall, they aren't actually real flames, they just get the sensation of being burned by flames.
pretty cool sprite tbqh famm
>>2781448
The flame just covers them for a brief second and it's gone. It just does damage.
what is the best snes emulator and why?
zsnes cause it's old timey :D
SNES9x for toasters, BSNES (not Higan) for everyone else.
>>2780497
Objectively wrong answer, I like the look of ZSnes but that's it.
I vote Snes9x if you want to make your game look better, but Higan is better all around.
The man behind the plan opened the fucker up. It's real you guys, IT'S REAL.

Do you have a proper source that isn't a scam site?
>>2780232
Elaborate. First I've heard of this accusation.
I know many people have been complaining about all the retro hipsters moving into the hobby since 2010 or so, but luckily they've mainly targeted the SNES. As such, it's still possible to get great deals on NES and Genesis games. This thread is for pointing out damn good games that regularly sell for $10 or less.
NES:
Tetris, Dr. Mario, Yoshi, Tetris 2, Yoshi's Cookie, Solstice, Krusty's Fun House, Adventures of Lolo, all great puzzle games for less than $10.
Looking for platformers? SMB/DH, TMNT, Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2, Batman, Adventure Island,...

Stop with the price bitching! Is that all there is to this board? Holy shit
>>2780008
Nah. I can actually see why my fellow Anonibro's would bitch- try collecting anything for the N64 over the internet, for example.
That being said, some of the more autistic fuckers here cling to the real thing (when the emulation options are just as good, if not better) and then have the audacity to bitch about a bubble THEY are helping to contribute to.
Shoot me for liking the N64, but as long as you avoid the 1st and 2nd party favorites everything's very affordable. Hell, even some of the 2nd party games are cheap. Wipeout 64, F-Zero X (on a good day), Blast Corps, Jet Force Gemini, Mischief Makers (on a good day) Perfect Dark, Rogue Squadron, Wave Race 64, 1080 Snowboarding, and others all end up in the sub-10 range.
Similarly, PS1 games that aren't cult classics are pretty cheap. If you're willing to burn CD-Rs of games, PS1 and DC games are pennies on the dollar (though I don't do that anymore -...

does brazil keep making games for it? Are they all just so absolutely shitty no one bothers to talk about 'em? It seems like if there had been a 25 years game industry there there might be a few gems.
>>2779935
Haven't played much of them, but they sure can be awful. And that's not just the sound.
What are the essential tank-controls-and-prerendered-backgrounds games?
>>2779638
Well obviouly you know about Fear Effect and Resident Evil is a dead giveaway.
Parasite Eve 2's pretty fun. Not as good as the first but that's less tanky more RPGy
>>2779638
Onimusha is one of the best, though not technically retro
Dino Crisis 2
Trag
Vampire Hunter D
Galerians
