It wasn't intentional. It's a well-known fact that absolutely every single blatant, obvious pun in a video game title is a 100% complete and total accident. Every single time.

I remember playing Ultima VI for SNES when I was like six years old. Never got very far in it, but I really liked it, and I would sometimes play my stepdad's save file, being very careful never to save over it.
More recently, I've played stuff like Ultima 1 & 2, Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, Arcanum. But I'd like to get into the genuinely OLD school cRPGs like Ultima, Wizardry, and so on.
What's a very gentle introduction to those kinds of games for someone coming from late 90s/early 2000s RPGs?
Top down and first person are both fine. I prefer turn-based.

I think you mean Fallout 1&2.
Stop thinking too much about things and just do it.

Wizardry is good. If you dosbox it (very likely) I really recommend upping the speed of it to high levels, because the game is sloooooowwwww.
>>
>>3283161
You mean Wizardry 6 or 7? You can also speed them up by turning off the sound.

I've been hearing a lot about Sakura Taisen lately. I know it's a big cult franchise, but I've never looked into them until now. They sound kinda fun. What's the lowdown on these games? It doesn't look like many of them have been translated, so why is it so popular?

They were VERY popular in Japan, like, VERY.
Also I think one or maybe more of the games got translated intorussianand released on PC over there.
They are fun games if you are into SRPG and waifus.

Meh, Shining Force is better. Didn't care for the VN interludes that broke up the battle portions.

SRPG combined with visual novel/dating sim, starring an all-female military group who pilot steampunk mechas to protect the great Japanese empire (Nippon Teikoku Kagekidan). I think that's about it.

$75 is pretty much full ebay price.

$300 for the console $50 for the game.

Just emulate it. That's even cheaper.

I wonder, why do we call retro games retro? The definition of retro is "imitative of a style, fashion, or design from the recent past."?
Wouldn't something like "vintage" be more appropriate, since it means something made from the specified time period?

It'd make more sense but retro is pretty much stuck.

>Words have fixed meanings

Because when we play old games today we're imitating the way we played games in the past, as opposed to the current paradigm of gaming.

Let's get these rolling again.
Posting old pic, with the strongly encouraged "rules" (will update old pic at a later time):
1. I suggested having a time stamp with both email and date; this way you don't have to include it in your text as people will see it in the pic, and the pic would be harder to steal.
2. Prices should include shipping and fees for the CONUS, with the exception that you're international, in which case it should include fees.
3. /vr/ stuff only, although I personally have purchased /v/ stuff as well. I guess maybe include non-/vr- shit only if you have /vr/ shit for sale? Thoughts?
4. I strongly advise *against* personal payments, but that's your call.
5. Modding services of course are welcomed, but modders please be prompt and professional. Follow-up feedback for services rendered is welcome as well.

My mind was blown. Every game I knew is now faster, not only in controls but also music.

Is this worth playing? Dungeon Crawler thread I guess.

Whether or not it's worth playing is based on your value system. If you see value in understanding where first person dungeon crawlers came from, then it's very much worth playing. If you only see value in playing games for fun, then you will probably not get much out of Wizardry, because its gameplay is arcane and tedious.

I would suggest playing V first. They cut out some of the bullshit from the original trilogy and spiced it up with more variety without becoming too easy or different.

Stupid fucking autist shit or historical artifact which should be preserved?
I have about 60ish genesis games, about half are cart only and half have the case and maybe manual. People get uptight about snipping hang tabs, this is something I used to do, then I quit because for an instance I thought it was against the games "purity"
People claiming "If I am paying for an expensive or rare genesis game I make SURE it has it's hangtab."
I mean what the fuck? I just goddamn KNOW that someone here has shelled out extra money to find a certain game WITH the hangtab.
I say fuck hang tabs. If it fucking matters then when these games are reaching their peak in value you could just buy some genesis cases in bulk with the hang tab and swap the art out. I mean, just think of how many fucking NFL/NBA/NHL 93's are out there with their hangtab in perfect condition.
Fuck these things, they make my shelf display look un-consistent (yes I have revealed my own autism) I'm clipping them all tonight.
share your hatred for hangtabs

I prefer them circumcised, mostly because I store them horizontally on my limited shelf space and the tabs would damage my books

>just think of how many fucking NFL/NBA/NHL 93's are out there with their hangtab in perfect condition
Be careful with that. I bought a lot of sports games to replace some busted up cases (I don't really care about the hangtab) and I had completely forgot that EA carts were shaped differently. I could have kicked myself.

My Dad's friend (65 yrs) wants me to install some games on his laptop (some old crutch, still on XP)
All he plays is Solitaire and he wants something new.
Other than MahJong and and other card games I can't really think of much else.
Any recommendations?
