So what's the deal with Virtual Hydlide? Is it really as bad as they say? I'm thinking about about getting it for my Saturn.
>>3207323
As bad as who say? If anything, the game is over rated. I like it though.
>>3207357
Just bits I've heard around the Internet. Nothing specific really. I've watched videos on it and it looks pretty crazy, but I'm a sucker for princesses in distress.
The running animation makes your character look like a fucking dork.
That's the most notable part of VH for me.
Welcome to the /vr/ Spitoon. How tough are ya?
I managed to get through the first stage of SMW and only died 9 times.

This one time I told a guy who had an opinion I didn't like to go back to /v/.
>>3207243
I call people 'niggers' 'cucks' and 'liberals' while using a Donald Trump reaction image.
I'm also unironcally a racist, I really do hate niggers and I'm a skinhead (too pussy to join a group tho ;-; )

>>3206612

Harder than Sonic.

ITT: /vr/ faps
What pixel (or polygon) vixens got your younger self really going? What was the first game-related you fapped to?
The only thing worth being turned on by video games was my own big breasted ladies I drew in Mario Paint.
I didn't fap to video games until like Dead or Alive 2 desu
>>3206572
This, but 3 instead.
Had a quick browse through the catalog and didn't see a thread for some good boxart or even just your favourite that may be mediocre technically.
Make sure you post the title of the game if it's in a foreign language so people can check it out easily.
Going to dump some of my favorites.
Aside from their titular games, what is the best retro game featuring Pac-Man or Ms. Pac-Man?
>>3206406
Pacman 2/Hello Pacman. It's more of a point and click game but it's done very well and Pacman's reactions are entertaining. The only downside is that he can also be stubborn so that can get annoying at a first playthrough.
>>3206406
pac-attack
>>3206406
Pretty much every odd Pac-man game out there seems to have a few fans even though most of them weren't very well received. I like Pac-Land which is an old arcade platformer.
Even though it's **NOT RETRO** Pac-man Championship Edition is a maze game like the old ones and it's pretty cool, so that seems worth mentioning.
So I want to get into pic related, I played it like 10 years ago and abandoned it halfway in some sort of misty forest because I couldn't deal any damage to enemies (I didn't know english at the time so it didn't help). I will play it emulated so no manual for me. Can you explain the basics to me in a non-spoilerific way? I don't want to break the game and be über-powerful, just the basic stuff and figure everything else myself.
>>3206361
Great game and one of the PS1 classics.
>>3206361
Good news for you, the manual is in the game itself.
>>3206361
Check out this guide. He gives some good starting advice and strategies. After that just explore and play.

on tape games thread:
im really intrested to hear from anybody who recorded games onto tape from radio transmissioni was just a bit too young as i was born in 1981
kinda regained an enthusiasm for the old things
just been reading about a guy who is restoring old teletext pages from vhs.. the teletext was broadcast almost inpercevable on a tiny bit of empty bandwidth and recorded on the vhs tapes as a barcode on a few unused lines

What are some atari 2600 games like raiders of the lost ark that was a game with an "ending" instead of being a endless high score game?
Haunted House
Porky's
>$50 per issue
Collecting gamefan is painful. Anyone here collect magazines? I've got about 50 Nintendo Power issues, & 30 Electronic Gaming Monthly issues.
I have about 100 magaziness, that I actually bought/stole as a teen. They are in shitty condition now though.
Why is gamefan worth 50$ an issue now?
>>3206057
Gamefan was the best. Loved how they would shit on "Eurotrash" games like James Pond. Nick Rox was GOAT.
Thanks for reminding me Cannon Spike exists.
Discuss the games, the music, the characters, and the storyline (lol) all in this here thread.
>>3205715
The best cover in the nes trilogy.
Bloodlines/New Generation is rapidly climbing my fav CV list
>>3205734
I would argue in the series, this image is the definition of castlevania in my mind. Castlevania 1's ingame art is very underrated in my opinion, the character sprites are a bit meh but the backgrounds are amazing.
Hey /vr/ I want to buy a handheld console for emulation purposes
I used to have a PSP until I broke it, and now I'm using my phone, should I get another PSP or is there anything better on the market?
Anything that can emulate up until PS1 era is good for me , so hit me with your ideas!
>>3205642
What did you break? The screen can be replaced in minutes.
>>3205642
Psp is what I use, very good. Basically every pre fifth gen console runs flawlessly, snes has its hiccups but never anything to bad. You also get flawless ps1 andgbaas well. Psp isby no means a bad choice.
>>3205662
I bought one last summer for $60 with an aftermarket battery and a 16GB memory card. Definitely got my money's worth.
>One of the best games for Mega Drives
>Never got localized when it was first released (it got its first, official english translation when it was re-released in digital form many years later)
Was it too girly for the cool, boyish audience of Mega Drive?
It came out the same year as the Saturn and that's what they wanted to push at the time for the English speaking regions.
Derp.

Monster World IV is my favorite Genesis game.
Wish it got more love.
itt: early depictions of nintendo characters
Playing through it. Played it a lot as kid, but was never good enough to do GP. Just beat 100cc Special Cup.
I play as Koopa. Who do you use? What kinds of differences are there to the characters.
>inb4 OMG dis game is so slow, it aint got BLAZT PROCESSING xD xD xD
Man fuck this game it's so slow it aint even got BLAST PROCESSING
In all reality I used Koopa, he was the lightest cart iirc but it's been quite a long time since I played it.
