LEGO Island was surprisingly fun for such a cheap tie-in.

>>3252530
What do you mean by cheap tie in?

>>3252787
>cheap

Does this game look like a AAA or even a B-tier game to you?

>tie-in
As in a video game based on the popular block brand. There's probably a better term but I'm too tired.

Because he's the king

The games that come included with Windows are at the very bottom of the gaming hierarchy.

Only the lowest of casuals play that shit.

Imagine some elderly retired couple in their trailer park home taking turns playing this game on their old beige shitbox PC.

They have no conception of what real gaming is like and no curiosity to look beyond the games folder in the start menu.

What a fucking pitiful existence.

No.

The best time to scoop up old games is 1-2 generations behind, just as gamestop and normies are trying to push things out the door.

You missed the window for anything /vr/. Scoop up as many 6th gen games as you can before shit like Melee starts blowing up like Earthbound.

Just buy flashcarts, kiddo. The prices you see online ARE the market prices, just check "sold" listings. Most of the shops still carrying old shit just mark up to maybe a dollar below ebay price anyways.

I agree, now's the best time to buy PS3/360 and Wii games.

Unfortunately I think a lot of people are just holding onto them, or they're retaining their value more for the most part.

I was looking for asura's wrath because a friend wanted to play it and the only NTSC-UC version was like 45 CAD.

So yeah, unfortunately you're 20 years too late friends.

I don't know if this is serious or not, but don't collect games. Buy ones you really want, ones you'll play more then once. My father gave me good advice when I was a kid, "Don't buy something just to buy it."

I recommend making a list of YOUR must have games and just focus on getting those.

Beyond that just emulate them.

This seems to be a consensus around here. As for least favorite, I'm not crazy about going through 3 right now. I 'get' the invincibility concept, but honestly, sometimes I'd rather just die and respawn, then retread multiple rooms because of an unfortunate status effect.

Speaking of 3, which levels do they highlight after you get the throwing glove? I missed one of them.

WL1 is great in a kind of austere, simple way. Four colors, nothing too complicated going on. Even when playing it on GBC they left it tastefully monochrome and only added color to the sprites.

I find it very relaxing to play.

>tfw started with Sonic 1 and Sonic Adventure 2
Nowhere to go but up

>>3266521

1 definitely feels more primitive than 2, I agree, but I enjoyed how slow 1 was. It was a nice comfy platformer with cool physics.

>and just when you get a running start you hit another obstacle

That's because you suck. Once you git gud you can gun through levels like a boss.

/a/ has a daily japanese thread, they may want to help us. I'll call for help

>>3266261
They'll help you learn Japanese, they won't translate for you.

Here's how you can start translating Japanese stuff within a week

>Start by familiarizing yourself with the Japanese writing system by reading Tae Kim's sections hiragana, katakana and kanji. Skipping the videos is fine.
www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/grammar/writing

>Grind the hiragana and katakana column by column until you remember them all somewhat consistently, should take 3 to 5 hours. Hiragana should be properly memorized, katakana you can just look up for when you need it.
http://realkana.com/

>Read Tae Kim's grammar guide up to the end of essential grammar. Don't get caught up on hard vocab or big tables of verb conjugations, just get familiar with it. Can take up to a week.

>Get the rikaisama add on and download kanjitomo so you can cheat through all the kanji, no one has time for those.

That's all you need to translate like half of everything Japanese. Good luck with your shitty games.

Better than Super Metroid

Possibly the laziest hackjob of a localization. They literally only changed the names of the characters and palettes, but kept the actual script and character designs mostly unchanged. At least Black Belt, the first Hokuto no Ken on a Sega console, went through the trouble of replacing Kenshiro's jeans and vest with a karate gi.

removed the blood making the game boring. hokuto no ken on the other hand is good just because bloody explosions

Nagano Winter Olympics '98.

I'm not sure why I thought it would be good, but at the time I was really into winter sports and had a blast watching the actual 98 games so I thought it would be a good pickup. I was really looking forward to some Bobsledding action but man the whole game was basically QTE's.

Thankfully it was a bargain priced game so it didn't eat much allowance (I think I nabbed it for $10 used at Blockbuster).

this piece of shit right here, it didn't even had NFL teams and everything from the graphics to the gameplay was abysmal, to be fair it wasn't onmy own volition since I won the game in an interactive TV contest and it came with 2 other decent games (Super Return of the Jedi and the Tiny Toons one)

I hadn't heard of the series before because I started with SNES and hadn't emulated older consoles yet, but it's probably the worst game I've ever owned. I recall it actually being unplayable although I haven't tried in over 10 years.

It has average ratings online but it was worse than Superman 64 to me.

Gran Turismo 2 on console, San Francisco RUSH or SF RUSH The Rock in arcades.

>>3264814
Wave race 64

>>3264814
never played them much... gran turismo for the playstation comes to mind, monster truck madness too, yeah... more than gran turismo.

Every single boss murders me, do you have any protips

Like I don't grasp which attack I'm supposed to be trying to hit them with

No games need patching. Convert all your games into psp eboot files instead (Pbp) it offers better compression than ecm and is very widely accepted.

>>3264414
>>3264416
ps1 whatever any of u guys know where i can find a comprehensive list thats been edited since 2002

>>3264420
does this go for emulating ps1 games too? should i hunt down the eboot files rather than the original isos and just play on a psp emulator?

I like this new cinemassacre meme

I wish I had some sort of inside knowledge about what they are about to review or play. I'd buy up every fucking copy and gouge the fuck out of them.

Nevermind just found the game.

>>3264227

And what was it, you fucking faggot?

>>3263821
>run and gun
I believe you mean 'side and scroll'

>>3263824
I think you mean shoot and boot.

>>3263831
I think you mean 'blast and dash'.

That is some insanely delicious flat. And the game looks neat too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMB5FK2YMVA


But anyway, I mostly play retro but I don't disinclude myself from modern games because if I did that would mean I wouldn't get to play games like rhythm heaven or house of the dead 4.

>>3263796
>indie games that seek to emulate the design of older games?
Most of them fail because they only imitate said older games superficially.

>>3263854
As far as I'm concerned, if your game doesn't run on a Pentium 3 and fuck-all RAM, you have failed miserably at making a "retro" game.
