Neo Geo Online Collection.
Bretty fuckin expensive too

Namco museum on ps1 is great. There are two of them, one of them includes 32 bit remakes of some of the games.
Sega did the same remake idea with SEGA AGES collection on ps2, although the results were kind of all over the place quality-wise they are still worth a look.

Pic related is the only one for the PS1 I really cared for. If you like Centipede, the arcade version of it is included in Centipede 3D for PS1. Centipede 3D is pretty enjoyable, so I'd rather keep that around than another Atari compilation that I may not actually play.

Gauntlet II is one of the more difficult games to come across. I didn't see any emulated ports until it was included with one of the Midway Treasure compilations for PS2, Xbox and GC.

Aren't Vectrexes rare as fuck?

>>3059668
I think they're more so uncommon.

>>3059659
Yeah that's a good deal. Pretty pricey for a yard sale but since you were obviously able to test it, yeah worth twice that pretty easy. I also only have one controller for mine and I haven't tried swapping but it's quite possible it needs to be plugged in when the machine comes on to register. Remember it's analog. Now you just have to decide if you want to be like me, invest in a multicart and be endlessly frustrated by no overlays or if you want to slowly accumulate the ever-appreciating originals with overlays.

>>3059668
Yes, quite. They haven't been completely discovered by the collecting community at large either so they're set to blow up pretty soon.

thanks m8

My Action Replay 4M Plus has a serial port on top. Is that relevant?

>>3060141
That's the old version. It was used to connect to your computer and upload new cheat codes. You have to manually enter them into the new models.

uh, /vr/ I mean

he's ok

>>3059461
It seems like his channel was made for me. I enjoyed marathoning a lot of his reviews I had on my backlog after Mark from CGR kind of dropped the ball. He's legitimately funny and one of the few reviewers to question his own judgement, takes on games rarely featured elsewhere, and does so on real hardware since he's for collecting stuff.

His Duke impression is dead on and it's no wonder we think alike since we love Duke Nukem 3D to death, that's always the mark of a great personality along with having a patrician childhood like I did (PC/DOS). Even though he's into the patreon craplock he's always 100% honest and far from any clickbaiting. Plenty of informative content too.

No fighting games.

He sucks at them and is eternally pissed that he'll never be good enough to really play them. It's funny and sad at the same time.

>>3059223
I take it by turn on and play, you're looking for something action oriented where you don't have to learn much before starting? Most retro games are just turn on and play.

A few random recommendations

>Space Harrier
Fast paced, very fun rail shooter. Simple but challenging.

>Ranger-X
Really fun arcadey action game where you fly around in a mech.

>Metal Slug (any of them really)
Great for run and gun action, just start shooting and keep moving

>Earthworm Jim
Another straight action-platformer, very well made a ton of fun and goofy.

These are a bit of a stab in the dark, but are all excellent games in my opinion.

>>3059108
/vr/ in general renewed my interest in getting a saturn, it had been on my want list for years but life got in the way/just generally wasn't on my mind.

Bulk slash is definitely one I picked up because of /vr/ though, Maken X (dreamcast) is one I'm about to try as well that was recommended to me.

/vr/ got my interest on the PC Engine, Saturn, DC, C64, Amiga, and MSX up. Bulk Slash is an impressive saturn game you can adjust to it very quickly. RIP Hudson Soft they made/published so many quality titles

Maybe I'm a huge nerd, but /vr/ didn't make me discover any game I didn't know already.

Except for that Garage game or whatever that I honestly don't care that much about.

The megadrive version of CE was done by capcom and I think by the time super came out for Gen capcom was breaking its relationship with sega and might have gotten another company to do it.

That's some pretty sweat cover art

>capcom was breaking its relationship with sega
>proceeds to give massive support for the saturn and dreamcast

If anything they were STARTING their fruitful relationship with SEGA

>>3058917
Three sisters? No, I'm not kidding.

Illusion City (Gen'ei Toshi). Mostly even translated.

SD snatcher might be a hoot

yyES!

We were gayer back in the day.

>>3058736
I can only imagine how you'd feel about the other Classicvanias.

>>3058736
Yeah Belmont's a clunky motherfucker, but the game is to learn how to control the character to overcome the challenges presented. They built the game around his clunky ass.

>>3058819
I'd imagine you'd be right.

>>3058713
Decent 3D platformer. It's fucking horrible compared to literally any 2D Castlevania though.

>>3058719
>horrible
Why, though? I can understand if it doesn't follow the usual Castlevania formula, but is it good on its own? Also, how's the sequel?

That is pretty much it. It is a good game but the problem is that you have to get accustomed to the controls and that there are certain parts that the camera will fight you or make you die such as obscuring a platform you want to jump on and end up dying due to that.

So no, it isn't really that bad.

>>3057984
well I suppose by that logic they arent american... but does it honestly fucking matter?

>>3057984
Atari is as American as apple pie, sorry yuro-friend.

>Plus Tramiel was born in Poland, Europe.
Yes, and most of the engineers were probably American.

Well, it's about emulating PS1 on a Wii, so, it's half retro(?).

>>3057924
not well. orignal xbox can, a cheap laptop will do much better

>>3057924
Get a PS2 or PS3 instead. Those consoles play PS1 games. Or you could get an actual PS1. A PS1 is pretty easy to find and it's dirt cheap too.

git good

>>3057724
that was not my question. i already play with infinite lives cheat. question is what do you have to do to jump over the second part? i dont know. i'm stuck

>>3057724
>git good
Says the person who never played it. The stage floor is glitched. If the stage was only difficult, I would see your point. But having to deal with glitches is bullshit.
