What's the Super Empire Strikes Back of the Genesis?
>>4150750
Any of the poorly designed euro platformers.
>>4150865
The Super Star Wars series is all American, bro.
Who remembers this son of a bitch?
I think it's Link.
Am I the only one who didn't have any issues with this dungeon?
It was a bit confusing, yes, but nowhere near the level that everyone cries about.
>>4150528
new complaint is menu management. For a while emulators had the pause bug where it took forever to get in and out.
Mine is Killing Time.
>>4150448
Mine is Weaponlord. Game kind of tanked because it was overly complicated for fighting fans of the day, but could probably get a great niche following now. Also with today's tech you could make the whole thing look like a moving Frazetta painting which is what I think they were always going for.
>>4150461
>tanked because it was overly complicated
No it tanked because it wasn't Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter
>and it was just kinda shit
>>4150468
That's basically the same thing. Fighters are like that though, because they take so much practice to perfect you tend to stick with one or two rather than play many. So it's hard for new ones to gain traction, specifically in the retro days. Things are much better now with online and high popularity where even niche games can develop large enough player basses to keep them interesting.
Also it's a fantastically designed game that's very deep when you dig into it. It just has animation hiccups and is a bit slow. Namco's Soul games are a sad legacy for it.
What is your truly honest opinion on Chuck Rock?
It was ported to everything.
I never played it.
Fuck Chuck.
This game was heavily marketed for the era, it was available on every platform, yet no one seems to care or even remember it today.
Will my game cartridges still be playable in another 25-30 yrs?
So long as you take care of them, yes. There's no reason for a cartridge to not last at least a full century with proper care.
>>4150147
Don't worry you won't even live that long.
Lol that pic is literally every pawn shop or second hand game store. Every genesis cart is a sports game or else for nes its silent service or some other shit game.
My friend is looking for this game she played when she was little but can't remember the name. She was very very little and she only remembers one part of the game. In that part you are a little boy with a wolf/dog and are trying to pass this bear. The bear wont go away. Your only option is to fish out something from the lake. But the bear won't eat the small fish and if you have a big fish the Dog will eat it! There should also be a Cabin nearby and it is WINTER. This is all that she remembers and it would mean a world to her. You guys already helped me find my nostalgic game once. I'm sure someone knows...
Forgotten games thread
It would help to know the platform. Was this a PC game or...
>>4150072
Yes it was a PC game as far as she thinks. She was around 5 years old so dished out as much as she could. Also I would say it was a Point n Click adventure kind of game.
It was bear 2
Which version of Street Fighter 3 is your favorite?
>>4150010
3S, is that even a real question?
No reason to play second attack or new generation EXCEPT for the superior music and backgrounds.
It's GORGEOUS
>>4150018
So 2nd Impact
This could have been the greatest console of all time if they made anything but girl games.
Yeah Casio was a real gaming powerhouse.
Plebian.
>>4149902
STICKERS WEW!
DID YOU KNOW
The famous Earth logo that also serves as an "O" in the title, is a vectorized version of the famous "Blue Marble" photo, allegedly the first picture of our planet taken by a human being. The original picture showed a picture of earth with with the South Pole on top, but NASA flipped it upside-down when they published the picture, simply due to North bias (and because human rationale would expect North to be up, and South to be down)
So basically, the "upside down" Earth on the Mother logo has the original Blue Marble in it, the one that was actually flipped over was the officially published one.
Mother thread.
>allegedly
>The Blue Marble was not the first clear image taken of an illuminated face of the Earth, since similar shots from the ATS-3 satellite had already been made as early as 1967.
"The Blue Marble" is neither the first picture of earth from space, nor is it the first one to show the earth as a whole circle. If you're referring to the "taken by a human being" aspect, that's also false, Humans have taken handmade shots of earth all through the Mercury and Gemini programs.
>>4149863
It is, however, the first (and only) image to combine all three.

Damn, what the hell am I doing wrong?
Click "New Missions" and try that first level "Blackout". It kicks my ass every time! Can any of you guys beat it?
>>4149041
Learn basic RTS principles and laugh at any RTS single player campaign.
>>4149041
This is blatant advertising/malware. Nice try though.
>>4149085
Malware? It's not malware. You don't have to download anything, you can play it in your browser.
I'm looking up strategies on GameFAQS. Apparently I wasn't play offense enough, focusing on defense too much.
Consider the following points:
Ease of hacking/modding
RROD resistance
Does the drive scratch discs?
How loud is the cooling fan (lower wattage PSUs may help to reduce this noise)?
Quality of analog video outputs/encoding for use with a CRT
The original version of Xbox 360 has 2.5" hard drive enclosure on the top.
This is the crappiest version because it RRODs the most, and is the noisiest.
The second version of the Xbox360 is more angular and lacks the HDD enclosure. It can also be distinguished by the capacitative (touch not press) power and eject buttons. This is the best version because it has less RROD, less fan noise (by no means silent though), has a S/PDIF port for your HiFi receiver, and has more internal storage for ROMs than the original versions.
The last version of Xbox 360 mimics the appearance of the Xbox One but is smaller.
This "E" version lacks the AV port and thus is HDMI only so it cannot be used with CRTs.
These come with the largest hard drives for emulation on LCD TVs but are probably harder to hack because they have newer, patched firmware.
>>4148875
You can change the hard drive tough, not even a hard mod.
>>4148875
Devices exist for like $8 that can take HDMI out and convert it to VGA.
Why is this never discussed on /VR/?
What was the gaming public's reaction to this irritating and immersion breaking disturbance after having just left the 5th gen which was nearly silent*?
Do you remember any articles from gaming mags back in the day mentioning this?
What is the best fan mod to reduce the DC's noise?
Is there room enough inside the DC for a passive heatsink solution?
If so, how do you fool the circuit which shuts the DC off unless a fan is plugged in and drawing 5V?
*Technically the 3DO phat and Apple Pippin had cooling fans but no one had those.
Why do you hate hearing your console breathe, anon?
The fan isnt that loud, the disc drive is
Not retro, but my SCPH-39001 is much louder than my DC.
