Go to the Musee Mecanique. It's a game museum that has everything from pre-WWII mechanical games to pinball and video games.

There are a few arcades by pier 39 I think. One has some really early coin op machines.

You won't find any retro stores or anything like that in city.

>>3853369
nah, it's pretty shit here. the last good arcade closed about 5 years ago.
>>3853531
the novelty of this place has worn off for me, but at least they have a Death Race cabinet

I have a decades worth of Swedish PC-gamer magazines on my attic (starting at 97 or 98), all the demo-CD's as well. Good times, some day I must set up a laptop with windows XP and try to plow through as many as I can get working, that'll be a nostalgia overdose and I might die, but it'll be fun none the less. .

I think, more than anything else in retro gaming, gaming magazines are the thing I miss most.

Growing up, my parents hated my gaming hobby, but they loved the fact that it got me reading, and it got me engaged in something.

My dad didn't understand anything about "Those damn games" but he would see me reading Tips & Tricks or something, and ask "What're you reading about?" and I'd tell him it was some preview or some guide on how to get through a part of a game, and he'd ask me my opinion on that. I also had a couple letters show up in reader mail.

I also get a similar feeling of nostalgia from gaming forums from around 97~04. I used to sit and learn all my cheats and info from sitting up with neckbeards all night and ranting about whatever JRPG we were slogging through, at the time.

Sorry for the blogpost...

I spent more money in those magazines than in games.
Computer Gaming World was the first one, they gave you a complete game with every number, I remember playing shit like Bud Tucker for that reason. More than half of the games were graphic adventures, and I hated the genre so I played the demos to death.
Then there was OkPCGamer, just demos but some of the reviews were hillarious.
Basically 80% of my videogame hobby were those magazines. The other 20% was one or two games for christmas, birthday and in 00's the shit I could download at 5 Kb/s from Kazaa.

He dumped it and we have all been to busy playing it on our everdrives to talk about it anymore!

Oh yeah, I remember that. Was a fun story. How long ago has it?

He had to go back to his 3rd period algebra class

Shadow > Forest > Water > Fire > Spirit

>>3851901
you fucking know what my least favorite one was you cock

>favorite
Forest because I love the atmosphere and the music.

>least favorite
Water is too cliché, so I'm gonna go with Fire. I'm just not a fan of fire levels, and all of the red and orange is hard on my eyes.

dude mason hazing lmao start a band with your coworkers lol just kidding they're just trolling you for blackmail money

Nick Rox is a furry, shidoshi cut his cock off, Dave Halverson probably still eats faggy vegan burritos, and those little Jap bastards still love to freak.

>>3850141
sweet thanks anon. These were my favorite mags in the early 90s.

>>3850141
Favorite gaming mag in the 90s. I love how Nick Rox shat all over Eurotrash games and loved Jap games.

goat

Apparently you can switch at will between proginal and remade graphics at the press of a button.

Also, the original passwords still work so you can continue your old ass playthrough.

That's all I need to know, anon. All aboard the hype train.

I'd rather they made a new game from ground up but that's just me.

There is a new game coming, called Monsterboy, which is based on the monster world series.

You're supposed to change the position depending on the game you're playing, you absolute retard.

>>3853097
Obviously this. OP, the way you play seems like it would be a hindrance. Your thumb looks to be extended to the point that your range of movement with the stick would be affected

you're the casual now

I have the same problem.

Discipline, basically. You wanna play games, JUST DO IT!

>>3849042
I find it funny people have "backlogs" with games. If you don't enjoy a game and postpone starting it, why even play it? Why MAKE yourself play a game, did you ever ask yourself that?

>>3849080
>did you ever ask yourself that?
Yes. I've sort've been thinking about how this list got this way, and I was wondering "Why didn't I play these all the way through, when I bought them?"

I think I just didn't have enough time when I bought them and thought, "Oh, I'll just get around to playing this later". Well, later never came. I kept doing other stuff or played games I was more familiar with. (Which is funny, because I have been playing a lot of new releases lately, and been sort've disappointed. Meanwhile, I have this massive box of old games I hadn't played much.)

I think one of the biggest culprits (for my list, anyway), is every time I go to a flea market or something like that, I'll see something of interest. A copy of Earthworm Jim 2 for 7 bucks, or something like that.

Not to mention all of the ports and roms that I haven't played through.

Besides, even if you don't have a physical list of games that you haven't played. If there are games that you've heard about or are interested in, but you haven't played them, then you too have a backlog. Everyone does, unless they've sat and played every game they wanted to, whenever they wanted to.

You might be disappointed since all the retro ones are based on earlier rules that were quite a bit different from how 3.5 works. I love D&D, but not so much computer D&D. Planescape Torment is is about the most widely praised though.

>>3846554
I'm willing to adapt.

>Best videogame based in DnD mechanics/settings?

They're all pretty garbage since THAC0 is such an awful system..

>Player 1 attempts to attack goblin, but misses
>Goblin hits Player 1 for 4 damage
>Player 1 attempts to attack goblin, but misses
>Goblin hits Player 1 for 3 damage
>Player 1 attempts to attack goblin, but misses
>Goblin hits Player 1 for 1 damage
>Player 1 is dead

You posted it.

Stand on the far left and jump when he attacks. the fire won't linger.

>>3842279

Thanks a bunch, anon. Worked like a charm.

I confess that I had to look up on the internet too for a strategy to beat Fireman, since I wanted to do a buster only run.

My only problem is avoiding his first attack consistently.

>>3841225
no

Best is subjective but it offers very good return on investment if that's "best" to you.

>>3841231
any suggestions then? I'm trying to get as close as possible to the real deal without using original hardware. inb4 real hardware is better, I have real consoles I'm just doing this to compare. So far I've noticed there's still a tiny bit of input lag even with this wired controller, I tested it with super mario world. It's impossible to perceive without going back and forth between emulation and original, but it's there.
