Games or systems?

>>3885104
Unpaid advertising for games you really like is just what /v/ and /vr/ is entirely about.

The best ones have a storefront where they buy games from people who have no sense of their value

What's the best way to get 240 test suit on my CRT

Where else can I buy games besides eBay and Craigslist?

I always just assumed they were malformed tomatoes. (there's a third buddy in the late stages)

IT'S TOMATO.

TOE MAY TOE

GET IT RIGHT MISTER BIG.

Uhhh... nobody here misspelled it.

These are very common though as they were sold at major department stores. Most obscure is probably pic related for GB.

>>3884307
>donated to goodwill and similar stores
>sent to other gamestops

I kinda remember reading that and then not giving a fuck about it anymore.

PEPSIMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Why weren't THESE the polls we got in the gamefaqs character battles? It was always shit we saw a thousand times before like Earthworm Jim vs Rayman, or Cloud vs. Link

Cool Spot, this isn't even a discussion.

Sonic 1, which also happens to be the best one.

Which PD is that? I never knew there was one in English.

The one published for DOS in 1995 by MegaTech Software. Don't know which entry in the series would that be.

Power DoLLS is a generally solid series of J-PC wargames, buoyed by its glamorous girls. Kogado Soft made some other cool simulation games in that period, like Schwarzschild (high sci-fi fleet warfare + grand strategy) and Mars Project (strategic Sim-game but on Mars).

>>3883819
They localized the very first PD.

ITT: things hipsters think were popular way back when, but nobody ever saw.

>>3883468
That cash register plays games too? I used to play a super stripped down port of Doom on my great grandfather's abacus, it was pretty epic.

>>3883468
That is one overly-bulky calculator. I bet it cost $4500 back in the day too.

>What made Gauntlet Legends and it's expansion so fucking perfect?

Senseless hack-and-slash is always fun, especially with flamboyant level designs and multiplayer capability.

>>3883367
i played this at my arcade the other day and found it really boring and repetitive after the first level or two

>>3883427
what arcade would this be? what are the notable games they have?

Never understood the hate.

It's not superior. They just made it overly easy.

I always see people talking positively about the c64.

Is it worth emulating or should I try to find a real one?

My parents bought a Commodore 64 in the late 90, I think they did it by mistake thinking it was a machine they could use for getting on the internet. Or maybe it was a gift. I tried playing some games on it but they were so bad/outdated/obtuse that I had little interest in them. They were Accolade Comics, Rocky Horror Picture Show, and some Ninja Turtles game. It basically sat in the corner of the dining room for 5 years collecting dust and bird shit (birdcage was kept next to it). Anyway that's my Commodore story.

Part of what made is so special was owning one at the time. Learning the basics of programming, pirating/downloading games via the radio, fucking about with making your own trash, the small but tight knit indie scene that grew around it, etc. all made it feel really unique to grow up with.

I think it's still a very interesting piece of tech and one that can be really fun to get into today to mess around with, but if you're just gonna emulate it then it has few exclusives worth playing by this point due to all the ports and multiplats are nearly always better on another platform.

I'm a nostalgia fag, and not ashamed to admit it when it comes to my favorite retro games.

But it's cool you can, as someone who did not play the games at release, have an active interest in them.

It's fine if you're not. I think people would judge you more harshly for BEING a nostalgiafag.

I didn't play Megaman Legends until a year ago and I adored it. People hear that and will be tempted to try the game out themselves. IF, however, I said I played it when I was a kid and loved it people would doubt it being very good at all since I was just a dumb kid back then.

>>3883080
I've been playing video games for 45 years now and I don't think I am either

I just play games I like, and they often happen to be older ones

Is that a pokemon card or what

do you want to give more infomation? also google is your friend.

>>3883059
Yeah. This is supposedly a misprint where they just didn't fucking print anything on it.

>>3882989
Not as short as the Master System version.

Did you get all the rubies?

Also, yeah, welcome to /vr/, most action games can be beaten un an hour or so. No tutorials or FMVs to fill up the playtime.

>>3883009
>Did you get all the rubies?
No, I didn't even know that you 'had' to collect them. I thought they were like the rings in Sonic games.
I had this game since I was a child but never played it through until now, frustrating at times but surprisingly short.
