Has there ever been a successful addon system? That's not to say that some aren't great, but generally speaking it seems that they're always doomed from the start.

when did retrogaming become a niche hobby and not just something normal fags do?
36 posts and 5 images submitted.
>>
Retro aesthetics and mario are what normalfags do. Scrubbing a star soldier cart you found at a thrift store for ten minutes and jiggling it around in your NES with giant earmuffs to block out the coil whine from your CRT is niche
>>
>>3963650
I appreciate this post
>>
I don't think normal fags have ever been into retro gaming.

They've been into "retro gaming" when it's a convenience to them like with the NES mini or even emulating popular NES, SNES, and genesis games to stream... But all in all they don't even play old games much, it seems, even though emulation's so convenient and close to them.

If we're getting into CRTs and physical consoles, then of course it's niche!

what are you even doing with a NES?
get a master system or a genesis, plenty of sports crap.

Sorry, I just couldn't ever get into Mario. 1, 2, 3, and Dr. Mario came with my system. I like the simplicity of NES sports games.

If you liked zelda, maybe try startropics?
Other suggestions: skate or die, wrecking crew, zelda 2, castlevania 2, metroid, kid icarus.

I'm not a Sato cultist, I've played LSD and I found it quirky but didn't "get it".
Anyway, I've found this CD with music from Sato's games for download, thought some of you might enjoy it:

Hacked vita is the best portable emulator. It can do anything the psp can do (minus ps1, maybe soon thanks to The_Fag)
Screen is dark in psp mode with horizontal and vertical scanlions.

the Vita can already do PS1 now, get Adrenaline 3.1

it's a shame about the memory cards hut the OLED screen makes it a worthy PSP replacement for best retro emulating handheld
>>
How is the memory capacity? Is it limited to in board memory or can a card get inserted? I have a psp but debating on changing up to the vita so I can emulate plus play the vita games

Thinking about buying some more Sega consoles. I've already got a Dreamcast, so I'm heavily leaning towards a Saturn since I never owned one. What're some good Saturn games?

Also, are any of the Genesis add-ons worth buying?

The Sega CD is worth buying. A lot of improved ports and a few decent exclusives.

ITT: Critically acclaimed games, or games loved by /vr/ that you just can't get into.

I want to like baldurs gate, because I love strategy games and tactics games. But there's no real variation to gameplay. You put on your 100 hundred buffs, locust the casters and send your melee dudes while pausing every 2 seconds to cast magic missles. Then you sleep and do it again.

Banjo and Kazooie does it for me. It's offensively bland and feels like it should be in a creepy pasta for the atmosphere alone. It just feels weird and uncomfortable with bland gameplay but people love it to the point of trying to remake it with shitty new animals.

I never knew they made a compilation book. Noice. I have the Mario/Zelda Sticker Book, with I think the Zelda side complete. One box of stickers was only enough to complete the book once. By which I mean, of the 200 Mario/Zelda stickers, one of the stickers (for each IIRC) only appears once. So if you wanted to complete it, you had to keep buying packs and hope you got the lucky one. Nintendo America has had scummy business practices since the late 80's.

Journeyman Project is pretty good. Recommended you get the original or Turbo version, not Pegasus Prime. Sure, the remake does make it graphically closer to the other two games, but it also adds in a bunch of bullshit that is just annoying. Instead of being treated to a video when you travel from area to area in the underwater level, now you have to do a trial-and-error navigation, the "non-violent" solution to the underwater level no longer works(and leads to your death now), and probably some other assorted crap I can't remember.

Just stick with the original or the Turbo version. Best looking graphical adventure prior to Myst, did the whole pre-rendered thing before the Miller's ever decided to make a game.

Spyro the Dragon. Stewart Copeland's soundtrack and the art direction of the game make me genuinely happy.

Same with Suuper Mario 64. Again, the music and the odd surrealness the game's environments had are top comfy for me.
