Well, the horizontal scanning frequency of the electron gun is about 15khz, which is well within the range of normal human hearing. If it bothers you, I suggest turning up the volume or using headphones.

A house isn't a home without CRT ring. PVMemes have shielded cases that also muffle the flyback a bit though.

>>4253163
PAL/NTSC TV's whine is very noticeable at ~15kHz, PC CRTs have much higher line frequencies outside the audible range.

>>4253127
People like to whine and bitch here but if you managed to get a bunch of people from here, regardless of age, and drop them all in a room with a N64, a bunch of good games, some pizza and beer, people would have a blast.
People online are usually the worst versions of themselves.

I don't doubt it. People just sperg by default because they're anonymous. I kind of wish that shit would end, but oh well. Good thing is most of the toxic players move on to newer games and the ones who don't have the need to be autistic stay behind and sort of form a good community

Man, I totally feel that. It's pretty rare for me these days, but every so often I gather up my friends and we just kick back and play vidya like that.
Even online, though, it can still feel like that if you're hanging out with the right folks. Hanging with those same people online is almost as cool.

debatable. I didn't think any of the saturn extras were worth the slowdown and loading times

Hasn't somebody made a mod yet to add the saturn extras into ps1 veraion?

>>4252930
I'm partial to the Saturn version, but it is super janky. I find the new weapons and playable Maria to be worth the wildly inferior visuals. I also prefer the Saturn controller. The Xbox 360 version is probably the definitive one, though.

Dragon's Lair is a great game, fuck off.

This is one of the best NES titles. Which e-celeb has been shilling this game?

>>4252928
>>4252929
Game is absolute trash. Controls like shit, really sure, the only thing it has going for it is the graphics.

>>4252863
There isn't much talk about UO either. Younger people can easily get their hands on old games but nobody can go back in time and play an old MMO during its prime. EQ today is nothing like it was originally so you really had to be there in order to fully appreciate it.

I play EQ on Project1999. It's the best EQ there is. They keep relaunching EQ on Sony's official servers, but it's a different company now called Daybreak and they keep re-releasing shit because they're incapable of making their own shit. Project 1999 is Kunak and Velious and that's it, it's classic EQ before they started dumbing it down for people. The reason it gets put aside is that it's bitch hard, it's the NES of MMO's. You have to behave like it matters, because it does and you'll cost yourself a lot of time if you fuck up. You should come try P99, relive your days before 9/11 and identity politics.

Here's a few pics of messing around with my guild, we're the #1 guild on P99 and we do all the hardest content in the game every time it becomes available due to mob timers.

There's almost always 1,000 people playing, no boxing is allowed so it'd 1,000 individuals, not 200 with 5 boxed accounts. Less so in the mornings but every evening from 3 PM to 1 AM there's 1k people thriving. It's enormous and there's no instancing so 1k people on 1 huge map.

I love EQ with all of my heart because when my family began to fall apart at 14 or so, EQ was all I had. I spent a lot of time in Norrath and as a reality replacement, I have no regrets. I remember when the expansions came out and I remember what was happening in my life and where I retreated when things got too tough for me. The day my mom left me by myself for 4 years, day 1, I remember taking my monk to Luclin and crafting fish biscuits because they were the lightest food a monk could carry. I sat on a rock in the zone beside Luclin, fishing and making biscuits for 12 hours until I was maxed for my level. It sounds depressing, but having an insane family member abandon you is a lot better than them staying around.

Well, for one it lets you play genny games with the superior SNES controller.

Anon pls...

there is no point when your dad is electronics

Yeah, it was pretty fun. The Sky stage always felt unnecessarily difficult to me, though.

The soundtrack was fantastic as well, in my opinion.

Shoudln't have been called Aerofighters, it's got nothing to do with Sonic Wings in Japan.

I love that intro for some reason

I liked it. Tutorial at the time was hyped up to be some kind of insanely hard thing but it's not that bad. Game is kind of short though.

never got past the tutorial as a kid.

>>4252718
I remember not being able to do one of the last maneuvers so I never got to play the story.
There was a free driving mode where you could ride around the city I think so I did get to see some of the game.

I remember it looking a lot better on my Geforce 2 GTS though.

I think wall, safe and aura don't work as intended

>>4252668
I noticed that attacking with a character decreases their INT, so what do I do with my mage when I don't want him to use her spells? Is there a "skip turn" option?

>>4252683
nope, but the int loss isn't that relevant
white magic lowers your power and raises your soul
also, specialize, just because everyone can do anything doesn't mean they should
avoid heavy armor and equip shields
maybe you can try equipping your black mage with heavy armor and try to run, it'll most likely fail but you won't waste mp
a lot of equipment has int and soul penalties though

>>4252481
The later arcades maybe. Most the 80s cabinets are the same in America and Japan. Also most the SEGA cabs are the same in America and Japan.

Nice phonepost though, kiddo.

The grass on the other side of the fence

It's greener

Nah actually there's just less interest in arcade culture in the US, it's more of a feature (arcade bars) than a theme (arcades with bars). We had a Sega Gameworks that went under then other people reopened it as a "KDB" for Kitchen Dining Bar apparently but anyway it closed down earlier this year and I see some of the cabs being sold on craigslist. Sad, kinda.

At least we have Cedar Point's main arcade it's pretty awesome and I doubt it'll ever close since the park is so successful as a whole and there's no rides or anything that could fit in that space.

>Are better lit
yeah they better to play lit

>>4252145
Yeah, I try to make a point of finishing games before I get new ones. Finally got the good ending in Sonic 2 recently!

Nah, man.
Retro games are way too hard.
I usually watch a let's play on YouTube while holding the controller and pretend I'm playing myself.
I can always pretend I'm a champ with all of my pals because they've never even played a game, let alone complete it. I got my sealed copy of earthbound on the shelf, so I got all the hypster cred I need.

I've only finished a couple of games. I have a crippling fear of endings. For example, when I was 14, I played all the way to the very end of FFVIII and saved right before the final boss and never came back.

>>4252053
About what, Atari vs. Amiga?

I think it sounds like a bit much and I'm sure with 16 (32?) other players I'd feel self-conscious for not knowing the game as well as I could - but on the other hand it could be a good /vr/ hangout.

Also, despite it existing for the entire duration of /vr/ plus some, I was unaware of the co-op romhack somehow until I read about it in an article on this. I may play it today with son.

I think it's amazing. Kaze did a fucking great job.

>>4251794
Rance games I guess.

>>4251794
If you liked Grandia's characters you might also like Skies of Arcadia's.

>>4251794
Final Fantasy from IV upwards if you're 14 at heart

controversial opinion: best 2d Zelda.

No, I would say it did not, like all Zelda games.

>>4251767
>HEY! YOU TOUCHED A FUCKING [ROCK/POT/CRYSTAL] FOR THE 999,999th TIME! YOU CAN'T INTERACT WITH IT WITH YOUR BARE HANDS... MAYBE TRY EQUIPPING SOMETHING? ALSO DICKS

That's its only flaw. Well, that and the forced item trading sidequest bullshit and the inventory system becoming too cluttered near the end (good luck switching items on the fly if you happen to select the ocarina at any point). But other than that, yeah, very good gameplay. The Oracle games were better in that regard, though.

yep, this is what happens when marketing gets the lead.

always drop companies like that like a hot potato. This is serious hurtful (to the loyal fan) fuckupery that should be punished
