Why don't more games make you always invincible? I think the role of damage / death as a challenging motivator is premised on a false assumption. Games are still fun when you're invincible (a lot more fun in fact) and it takes the pressure off so you can focus on the cool levels / creatures / puzzles / bosses instead of freaking out that you need to run and jump in exactly the right way to avoid the projectile that's going to take away your last portion of life.
>Games are still fun when you're invincible (a lot more fun in fact)
Games can be designed to be fun when you're invincible, and WarioLand 4 is a good example, but this isn't automatically true at ALL.
>instead of freaking out that you need to run and jump in exactly the right way to avoid the projectile that's going to take away your last portion of life.
You realize many gamers find this exciting, right?
If I just want to play a game with puzzles, nine times out of ten I'll go for a point-and-click adventure game. I play platformers primarily FOR the challenge of running and jumping "in exactly the right way to avoid the projectile..." etc.
>it takes the pressure off
if you want no pressure so go play cookie clicker
Hey, anyone want to battle?

>>3956169
Hey that looks pretty neat. What is it?
>>3956173
Digimon
Which Tetris is the best Tetris?
>>3955986
Tengen Tetris on the NES.
>>3955986
it depends what you're looking for out of the game., do you want a multiplayer Tetris?, do you want a vanilla bare-bones Tetris?, or do you want a Tetris with "modern" features like infinite spinning and ghost pieces
personally, the NES version is my favorite.
>>3955986
nothing can beat this
Anybody want to play some retro games together?
Nah, thx tho.
Now now but tomorrow sure.
I'll set up Retroarch and everything. Whaddya' wanna play? Some 4-player arcade games or something?
co-op modes are shallow and casual, you should get good at games by playing single player
You know, Shadow Madness had pretty good writing and story. It's kind of a shame that Ted Woolsey didn't get to write for more games.
>>3955569
Always wanted to play this game. Going to download it. What I am in for?
>>3955569
Starfox 64 was better.
>>3955569
Agreed. This is the most underrated JRPG (JRPG is a genre not a country of origin).
Gonna start this thread out with some gbc soundtracks I've never seen being posted here

What the fuck is up with McDonald's games actually not being shit?
Like, how could you expect a video game licensed by a fast food chain to no suck?
This game is not bad. In fact I'd say is pretty good, same with the Mega Drive Mc Donald's game made by Sega in Japan.
Hell, M.C. Kids has better platforming physics than many of the later Virgin platformers on 16-bit systems.
McDonald's just has the money to spend and care about their brand enough to do so.
Remember Domino's Noid? He got his own NES game and it sucked.
>>3954930
Reskin of a Famicom game.
>Like, how could you expect a video game licensed by a fast food chain to no suck?
Why would you? I don't think bad fast food games were ever a serious problem
Is it just me, or has the original Smash Bros aged really, really badly?
>games age

Here's your (You).

Reminder that fighting games ruin the gaming community by being like, competitive and it makes people mad and not wanting to play like?
Smash 64 is extremely low poly, and looked relatively ugly even in its day.
Why you ask? 60FPS. Thats why.
Tell us about your recent scores.
Pic related is my first experience with buying retro vidya from Gamestop. I hoped for the best yet prepared for the worst, but I was pleasantly surprised. They came in rather great condition. Loose, of course, but I expected that too.
>>3953827
Redpill me on this.
>>3953836
On what, specifically?
>>3953839
On this.
What is your favorite retro Metal Gear game, /vr/?
Thief.
Ghost Babel
Snake's Revenge
What's the best way to play Super Turbo?
Fightcade.
I love to play on GBA.
Push select to open easy command.
That I can make weird and funny combo
>>3953508
can a hacked Wii emulate it? like via MAMA or CPS2 or something?
I also want to play ps1 games that hold a candle to the graphics of shining force 3 and panzer dragoon saga
>found pic related
any other ps1 games have better 3d than shining force 3 or pds?
also is front mission 3 a good game to play?
>also is front mission 3 a good game to play?
This can vary wildly based on how you play it.
Let's just say there are two scenarios, and you're booted into each of them based on a choice you make at the beginning (you don't know the choice at the time).
So, one of the scenarios is pretty good, while the other feels like a ton of filler battles strung together.
If you got the first scenario, it's a pretty good game.
If you got the second scenario, it can be a chore.
>>3952930
Playing FM3 for the first time at the moment. It's not bad. Way less autistic and more enjoyable than those horrible FFTactics/Ogre games.
