Aside from Imagic?

Activision, Bally Midway(Published by CBS Electronics and Sega), and Starpath(the Supercharger games) all produced great games.

Holy shit, these defeat screens are hilarous.

>owning a CD-I
I remember him from YTPs, yeah - but those aren't retro nor games.

>>3306904
Yeah, guy sold me his CD-i for $20 a few years back, I only got it for the novelty, ended up finding review copies of Faces of Evil and Wand of Gamelon on eBay for cheap a little while later.

Build a secondary base far away from your original base. The AI is full retard and will continue throwing the missiles at your original base.

Spread your buildings a bit with concrete slabs or hope for Death Hands to miss, then build secondary base. The starting zone is too small to build a full proper base anyway.

Playing the game as Harkonnen on your first playthrough would have made it easier : that's one less Death Hand hurling palace you'd have to face.

even in AoE2 single player campaigns you see this behaviour still, and all olders RTS too ofc, unles some i havent played

but i always considered usign such tactics as cheating

Of the retro ones I've played 2, 4, and the ds remakes of 1 and 3. Genealogy is definitely the best. I love it's huge sense of scale. Gaiden kinda sucks and the remakes are alright. I'm hoping a decent translation of Thracia is finished in my lifetime.

The owner of my local arcade says he's going to get Rastan soon, along with Black Tiger from Capcom.

I was playing Warrior Blade on MAME the other day, another cool games that uses the multi-screen cabinet, like Darius and Ninja Warriors.

Friendo and I used to get baked and MAME this up around 2001.

Terd would 1cc that shit leaving me bored as hell for 15 minutes.

My turn? Dead on the first board.

They'd be good memories if I could remember 'em.

Check the retropies/recallbox documentation. Also check your Tv has "game mode"option would help.

RPi doesn't intrinsically have any worse "input lag" than any other PC. It's either your TV or your controllers.

>sorry for bringing up Sega.

What? when?

We've had several light gun threads before and we love Sega games, are you okay?

HotD1 and 2 are great, 3 and 4 were just okay but still fun.
Huge Virtua Cop fan too.
Not retro but another good Sega one is Ghost Squad.

>>3305674
>So ligh-gun games general? Again, sorry for bringing up Sega.
Dafuq? There's always Sega threads, you mongoloid.

It's actually some BS some shitposters are trying to force. Like the "bleeps and farts" shitposter, that guy doing the consolewar thread, etc. Used to be a time when the moderation team would delete such crap on sight. Now they don't, the shitposters know it, so they are trying to fuck the board up.

FreeOrion and lincity would both count, right?

There's also the Streets of Rage Remake on PC too. I think they got C&D'ed, but you can find copies of it floating around.

I'm not sure if it counts as a fan remake since I believe the project involved one or more of the original developers, but there was a remake of Star Soldier for Windows entitled SoldierForce. It's freeware, but the official site is no longer around, so you'll have to track it down somewhere else.

There's also an open-source implementation of the Arx Fatalis engine called Arx Libertatis. I believe the intention was to address some of the game's unpatched bugs, as well as to provide cross-platform support.

As for upgrades, the Ultima upgrade patches come to mind: http://exodus.voyd.net/ultima3.html

Hope that was helpful.

>Is there a solution to this beyond "buy another cart of the same game"?

No. You could consider printing label replacements, but that's going to be a costly setup in itself.

I don't think Genesis labels were of particularly good quality in the first place. They seem to fade and peel from the slightest bit of handling.

The dimensions and pictures for the labels can be found online for replacements. There's no "market" for it, because a replacement label makes the game no longer a collectible. But the resources are out there to do it yourself for a replacement.

Actual discourage practice due to purists.

Early full-3D before everyone knew what they were doing. Before this there was Ultima Underworld 1 and 2 I think, other than that I can't think of any other full 3D FPS type games before this. Quake, Unreal, Duke3D, those all came out two years later or longer. Heretic is close, it came out the same year, but it was more of a direct FPS than FPS/RPG hybrid.

Because back in the day good interfaces were not discovered yet.

Probably something like this minus the ponytail.

Feels like a 4-bit Ecco the Dolphin game.

It's bloody marvelous.

>>3304146
The Atari 2600 is 8-bit.

And we actually have an 8-bit Ecco game.

To me Kirby's Adventure will always be the definitive comfy NES game. Nothing else comes close.

>you lived long enough to see Nintendo go back to being third-party
Feels great, doesn't it?

>>3304056
Why would it feel great? I just want to play their games.
