It destroyed FPSs as a genre just like Metal Gear Solid ruined adventure games

Took me a few years to get into Half-Life. When I came out I hated it for the realism. Reloading, boring realism weapons (the fun sci-fi guns are at the very end of the game) being killed by a short drop that would take 10 health away in Quake, the military grunts and all that military silliness that came with them (go! go! go!), all this stuff turned me off.

But I grew the fuck up, realised that not everything has to be Quake and came to really enjoy Half-Life in the end. I still blame it for really starting the realism trend that ruined the FPS genre.

But that was Goldeneye

Rollerball is another quite decent NES pinball game.

>HAL America

Is that HAL from Kirby games? They had an american branch?
I will try it either way, thanks for the suggestion.

Play pinbot my dad got it for me as a kid and it was awesome. Challenging and fun.

My dad always brought some weird ass game I would have never thought to ask for.

This is such a stupid question, even overlooking the retarded vocabulary. So you're just going to start buying tens of thousands of dollars worth of hardware and software because of the responses on /vr/? Do it, I dare you.

>>3225557
Not really, emulation is very good and the good games are mostly posted to other systems. It's a very expensive console to collect for (relatively)

google mvs

A lot of things are products of their time.

If some game really breaks boundaries and becomes a "gold standard" and a bunch of games get released after it that simply improve over the original ideas of that game, you could consider it "aged."
For example, SMB seems like it has aged poorly because although it set standards for platforming, the games that followed it (SMB3, SMW, Yoshi's Island, DKC, DKC2, Earthworm Jim, etc.) All took the platformer foundations SMB laid and improved on them, so SMB seems weaker in comparison.
It could also work the opposite way. If a game has a fatal flaw, that while at the time people just dealt with, but when games come out in the future that removes said flaws, you could consider the game "aged."
It doesn't lower the quality of a game by any means, it just means that things have changed or improved since then.

I don't know, but there's games from the PS1 era that I could sink in hours and hours at a time but last time I tried them recently I could barely get past level 1, if that.

Why were the Telltale games so bland compared to Hit The Road?

3D
Limited budget
Simpsons syndrome (00's stop making you fun)

Still wanted to play Freelance Police though, at least it had the original VAs, too bad whatever 85% beta there is of it will rot on some Lucas/Disney HDD for all time to come.

>i'm the only person who's played one of the most well known saturn franchises
ok

>>3184251
this is probably the best flipper game on the game boy. Many played it.

PSX? you should play a DVD of your favorite anime on it

>>3248183
This is a bad meme and you should feel bad

die hard trilogy
shit's just fun

The music was really bad in the 2nd gen man.

This is the only 2600 game I can think of that had a "full" soundtrack. Has a Gen 1 Pokemon vibe to it.

Sounds like it might be "Evolution"

>>3247218
If you mentioned dreamcast game, I highly doubt, cuz that person in that video was far realistic, than "Evolution" cartoonish style

>>3247232
Maybe it's Phantasy Star Online?

I would say just buy the games since they are cheap, but Parappa seems to have gone up a bit since I last checked. Lammy is still cheap, though.

On a more helpful note, I seem to remember there being 2 versions of the Swap Magic disc. A DVD version for PS2 games and a CD version for PS1 games.

>>3247057
No, the CD version is for the handful of PS2 games that use CD-ROM instead of DVD-ROM.

Hmmmmm i have the DVD version, what a shame
Do you think that i can find both games in English on ebay, for example? I searched this morning for the Jammer Lammy and i only saw Japanese copies
Also, do you think that it's worth buy it? i have heard about a lot of people complaining about the games don't running to well but i'm not very well informed about that

literally

I don't care what you say, most of these were an improvement.

>>3246578
Every game that working designs butchered.

i played World before 3. as such, i prefer World over 3, even though 3 is a "better game"

pretty retarded reason, but there you go.

>>3246304
I like world because it's more open and exploratory. SMB3's levels are very dense, if you're skilled you can clear multiple obstacles in a single jump and clear the stage in under 30 seconds.

Meanwhile SMW made me feel like I was exploring, well, a world. A lot of that magic is gone now that I've memorized all the secrets, but it was an amazing feeling

>>3246304

SMW had saving and you could replay levels. It also had Yoshi, better graphics and sound and more levels.

Enjoy op

I can tell you're new here so instead of bullying you let me just say...

Welcome friend

lurk moar too

i like this game but it's no ikaruga

I like when you run and jump just before you fall asleep in mid-air and then nose dive into the ground unconscious.

>>3246039
The concept was amazing, but the actual execution is not that great. It's an interesting game, but ultimately lacking and kind of boring.

tl;dr It's a typical Artdink game.

Artdink sure loved their Explore-A-World games.

>>3245971
I like it but I prefer the other games over it. Better than Vampire Killer, MSX, though.

>>3245971

Has /vr/ gotten so contrarian that people are claiming that Simon's Quest is the best Castlevania game?

>>3245984
It's a fine game. Everyone knows Castlevania Amiga is the best one.
