I almost bought a PS vita because I saw this on PSN, but then I saw that I couldn't actually buy it. Why can't I buy it? Why do video game companies hate consumers so much?

Hey /vr/,

I'm trying to remember PC games I owned growing up.

My parents frequently shopped at outlet/liquidation/blowout stores, and that meant I'd subsequently pick up cheap computer games for $5 a piece


So instead of making your average nostalgia thread posts, only post things you got for cheap.

I'll kickstart it with the few games I remember.

"I'm an old school gook killer boy, but I'd kill me a nigger if I got the chance!"

Holy shit, how the FUCK did they get this line into the game? I know it's based on an R-rated movie and this is before the ESRB, but just..wow.

It's done! time ago I purchased the APE SMW guides and disbinded them so I could scan the pages. It's done now. I'll begin work on the second volume as soon as I can.

• The essential color grading and page straightening is done, but I wasn't able to do 3mm bleeds.
• The size of a typical spread is 358.61 × 128.14 mm at 600dpi, the exception pages being the map spread and its backside, the timeline page. They're a bit wider.
• I did a lot of work to remove all the shit and stains the previous owner left to the pages, but if there's any glaring errors, let me know.
• I'm now left with a bunch of pages and I don't dare to rebind it so if someone wants the disbinded book, I can send it to you via mail.
• If someone could translate the comics and developer interviews, that'd be grand. The entirety of the book would of course be better, but that might be too much to ask for.

1.9 GB might be too much for too many, so here's a lower res version that's only 24.8 MB:

Scans general I guess

Hey /vr/, I know this isn't completely retro since it's a new game, but it's on a retro console (the dreamcast) and I know some of you guys will have interest in it.

A rail-shooter called Xenocider is in development for the dreamcast and is on Kickstarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/retrosumus/xenocider-a-3d-shooter-for-pc-mac-linux-dreamcast/description It's also going to be on the PC for you master-race gamers. I wanted to share it since I want to see it get funded.

hey most of this stuff applies

http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Creepypasta_Wiki:Creepy_Clich%C3%A9s

>The cartridge/label shows obvious signs of tampering.
>Obviously technically impossible stuff, such as games that delete themselves in such a way that you can't recover them, or games with "perfect" copy protection. (Such as Killswitch, which is both.) This includes older games having graphics/sound/visual effects beyond the system's technical limitations.
>Song generally regarded as "creepy" plays on repeat or backwards
>Buying the game from someone at a yard sale;
>The game's talking to me, telling me to go away, turn back or something of that sort.
>Thinking that certain things were just some "minor glitches" in the game.
>The person who sold the game (yard, eBay, whatever) begging people to buy it, and for a low price too.
>The character you play as looks exactly like you or someone close to you.

is my game cursed or haunted

How come dungeon crawlers, a genre born in the west and so immensely popular in the 80s and early 90s fell into obscurity and is basically dead nowadays while it thrives in Japan of all places? It just boggles my mind how one of the forefathers of the genre, Wizardry, is a Japanese property now.

So, I never actually beat Sonic 2. I'm gonna play it, but I just realized something.
You can disable Tails being in the game, which would make special stages WAAAY easier, but I feel like I shouldn't because it's supposed to impose a challenge.
What should I do?
