and this is the "modern" version of the same chip sent to me by the company

Sockets?
Maybe try to mount it to the backside. May be a bitch trying to solder that though.
Trying to connect wires to the legs would probably be a bad idea. Don't think there's much room in Genesis cart anyway for mounting the chip somewhere else.

dev pranks thread?

I genuinely got a laugh out of hearing about the pranks the mortal kombat guys pulled back in the day, Rain is honestly my favorite because they made an entire character with ai to only appear in the arcade version's attract mode. Just to make people frantically search for ways to unlock him.

This is an April Fools thread

A $100 to $150 game?
Not 6x. Definitely not after adjusting inflation.

>>3106525
I bought a boxed mint copy at $30.

Now are you jelly?

>>3106527
>I bought a boxed mint copy at $30.
>bough years ago
You paid $30 for a Genesis game years ago? Hahahahahahahahha oho ahaha

Holy shit I would had just died right then and there if I saw some fat fucking retard buy or attempt to sell anything Genesis for more than $1-$5 pre 2008.

My uncle really DID work for Nintendo back in the day. He worked at a help hotline and used to give me free hints for NES games whenever we'd meet up at Christmastime. He's the reason I was able to get past the Dam in TMNT.

>What are some retro myths, urban legends or rumors you heard/truly believed as a kid?
Video games would never become huge and marketed to the lowest common denominator retard that should be holding a dvd remote instead of a controller.

You're telling me that the game that skullfucks me right from the very beginning gets better?

Well I guess it's time to git gud

>>3106108
Favorite "serious" retro racing game.

Don't know of any sadly.

>>3106615
Agreed, awesome game. Bring seattle back polyphony! The intro music was absolute garbage though.

PC sims of any age, there are sims released in 90's that carry incredible amount of immersion because color palette, textures and models somehow pull you straight in the 90's much more than any modern game can regardless of mod.
On psx the absolutely best one was TOCA WTC, it has weather effects, day/night cycle, realistic damage and physics (we are talking home console of the 2k realistic)

>The intro music was absolute garbage though.
I want to hatefuck you with L14 camshaft for dissing "My favourite game" by Cardigans, song that made me download all of their discography 15 years after I played GT2.

it's stupid to compare the two. they're completely different games.

SH does have a better story, though.

>>3105871
>it's stupid to compare the two.

No it is not. They are both survival horror games with similar gameplay styles. They even have similar cinematic camera angles. One is just static while the other moves.

It's really tough for me to say OP. SH1 is without a doubt way scarier. It has the scariest music in the series. RE1 is so iconic. Pretty much popularized the genre. Has infamous voice acting that is so bad it becomes good. Very memorable game especially if you experienced it back then. If you are playing the DC version you even get the better auto aiming. Mansion is great fun to explore. SH1's town is also fun to explore. Much more dangerous when in the town as well. Very fast enemies that you are better off running from then fighting.

I like them both so much that I might have to say it's a draw.

I'm with you. I loved the fuck out of this game, but never really understood the stats behind it.

My main was Fio, how bout you?

Tarma is the best easily because he always yells fuck when he dies

>>3105928
Nope, the girls are the best because you can see their butt when they're killed by acid.

>>3105626
Deadly Towers doesn't fuck around, if the manual is any indication.

>dungeon entrances are invisible
>so are entrances to a trapdoor parallel dimension
>so are the exits from that trapdoor parallel dimension
>dungeons consist of 200-something rooms

It's fucking insane, I love Zelda 1 but I don't know if I'm anywhere near hardcore enough to beat this game.

>>3105642
This game frequently shows up on "worst NES games" or "worst video games of all time" lists. For good reason, in my opinion. Though it's statements like that which only makes /vr/'s contrarianism shine, so have it guys. Convince me that Deadly Towers is fine and I'm just a pleb.

>>3105665
>For good reason, in my opinion
expand on that, please?

Lets not

THH was just a downgrade of TiT anyways. Less bosses, worst graphics and music.

Arcade version

>>3105168
>paying for a 300kb file

>JP version of The Ooze

God, I remember that game being expensive back when I wanted it for some reason in 2002 or so. Looks like it still is, though I'm not seeing any sold ebay listings, just high asking prices.

What is this ero game?

Cart with battery and capacitor replaced.

First revision OoT for anyone interested.

Its no longer original

Might as well throw it out

Autism:The Thread.

Simple answer, market.

>>3105029
It's this. If you had a company, would you really want to compete with yourself? Why spend resources developing for your older things when everyone has "the latest and greatest" current thing.

Supporting older consoles would just be a money pit.

It's not just developers, but the console producer itself would still have to be behind it. Like if Nintendo were to start up making Super NES games again, they would have to reproduce dev kits, get the factories to start making SNES motherboards and all the chips & bits for them too, not to mention make new moldings for the plastic cases. and so on. Even though it's an old system, the costs of starting up such a project would essentially be like making a whole new system. With that in mind, just work on an actual new system.

You're all over the place. Can't really get a beat. Gyruss? If not only for the music.

>Mario Kart 64
>Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
>Saturn Bomberman
>Bomberman 64
>House of the Dead 2
>Kid Clown in Crazy Chase
>Wario's Woods

Ever play Galaga 88? Fantastic remake of the original

Legend of Xanadu I and II are receiving translations, so maybe check those out sometime! Or also try the Wonder Boy series.

I guess this is a retro list? 10 games is really tough...

>Mario 64
>Mega Turrican
>Mario World
>Soldier Blade
>Castlevania Bloodlines
>Majora's Mask
>Bonk 2
>Wario Land 4
>Sonic CD
>Mario Land 1

Honorable mentions to the Front Mission and Armor Core franchises.

Also yes, I've played the grand majority of SRPGs on the PSX, so please don't recommend me one unless it's really, really niche.

>>3104953
Have you played The Punisher arcade game? I think you might really like it. Also if you like Hydro Thunder, you could try Rush 2049 or Crusin' World.

>>3105474
Wario Land 2/3 on the GBC. Give those a shot if you haven't already.

>>3105496
The Divide Enemies Within on the PSX. Fantastic game, very underrated.

>I have been tirelessly frustrated for 3 months by this shit emulator which also happens to be the only emu that works at all on android.

Are you retarded? There's so many free emulators on the app store for NES/SNES/GEN/PS1 and I think even PS1 that work well.
