Sonic was made for 2D and no 3D version will ever be as successful or fun.

Haven't seen one of the in a while, so let's make a Baldur's Gate general!

I'm about to start playing BGEE for the first time ever. Is it friendly for someone who has no idea of the rules of D&D?

Do you recommend to play vanilla unmoded or EE unmoded? Or in case I just have to use mods, which are the must have?

Give me interesting suggestions for multiplayer games that are easy to pick up for someone who's never played. (SNES, NES, or Genesis preferred.)

Do you agree with these 1991 video game reviews, /vr/? They appeared in an issue of "Zillions" magazine, aka "Consumer Reports for kids."

I am still convinced that there is a secret left to the running man in OoT. I know that sounds absurd, because it's been so long, but I still believe it. I was wondering if anyone here had any possible things to try, or things I might not consider. I think you have to do something during the race.

Here's an interesting thing I didn't know; if you go back in time, the race is still on. The clock keeps ticking. You can even talk to the running man, as young link, during the race. He doesn't say anything different though

I feel like if there was a solution to that mystery, it would involve doing something as young link, but that's just a guess.

Other things I've tried: going to the bridge in the forest as young link (nothing happens). Going to dampe's race during the race (simply replaces the timer with Dampe's timer.) And, as adult Link, getting to the lost woods from the warp in zoras river (I assumed that if you do that, it might not load the running man in the same way. But it does).

Hey /vr/,

I am thinking of making a project that involves NES cartridges and magnets as a storage solution, and I wanted to ask if the Cartridges themselves could be harmed in any way? The roms are probably safe as far as i can assume, but what about the savefiles or the batery inside? Would it interfere with these components? Would it have bad juju in the cartridges that if you stick them into a console it would zap it? Don't want to mess up the ol' piece of hardware, it has survived so long.

Being on this topic, how about with other cartridges?

>Pic not really related, best I could find when googling nes and magnets.

Hey /vr/. I am taking a quick census regarding 3d platformer collectathon games. If you could take a short minute to answer the following questions and share your opinions I'd be most grateful. Please feel free to answer in as much or little words as you want.
>1.What do you enjoy most about the genre? What do you think improvements could be made towards it?
>2. What is your favorite collectathon game? What is it you enjoyed most about said game and how it was implemented?
>3.What was it that made the genre fun for you? This does not limit to gameplay, visuals/sounds, or mechanics.
>4. The genre has changed and aged, just as any does, since the dawn of the 3d era. Has it changed for the better or worse, why, and how?
>5. There has been a resurgence of the 3d collectathon genre, particularity with indie devs and kickstarter programs. Based on what you've seen of these projects do you like the direction of them, and would they possibly better the genre or worsen it?
>6. What are some bad elements of collectathon games that are overused/unneeded, and examples of such? How do you think these elements could be improved?
If anyone also wants to elicit any discussion on the subject of collectathons, I would be more than happy to talk about mechanics, design, or other elements. I figure this would be a great place to discuss them seeing as most popular collectathons are considered retro. Thanks in advance for your time.

Hey /vr/ I absolutely love video games, but it's hard for me to sit down and actually play one. I noticed my problem a couple years ago. I list slowly gotten worse. I mean if I force myself I can usually get into a game and feel the joy I used too, but it's rare that I try, despite wanting to play numerous games I haven't played yet!

Does anybody else have this problem or should I just kill myself?

I'm looking for some obscure PC games (DOS is fine too). Things sort of like Pink Gear Collection, Eastern Mind, or LSD Dream Emulator.
Any suggestions?
