Found out my Girlfriend had never played Super Mario Bros... ever. Booted my NES and watched her play it.
It was fascinating watching someone play something I knew so well with fresh eyes and learning about it how I would have all those years ago.
Anyone else had this experience?
My wife played video games for the first time when we got a Retron5.
It was an amazing experience but watching her 16 year old son play retro games for the first time and call them aged shit was even better.
I have a friend who is generally awful at platformers - including Mario (He frienquently has to bubble in New SMB) so watching him play it is LIKE watching someone play it for the first time.

Wasnt it Sega's most successful arcade game in America?
>>3048569
I spent hour playing it in the arcade with my bros.
The two end fight were cheap as fuck.
Did anyone else enjoy the shit out of this game? Still my favorite NES title.

It's pretty good.
It's not better than Zelda though, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
I bought it from a video store when they decided to sell their business. It was $10 and the receipt said it was called Crusiolis.
Need recommendations for games,that would be easy to play on a phone with an emulator.Playing games like Mario with virtuals keys is a nightmare and almost an impossible task
Not retro.

I'm interested in same for GBC. Can we take the thread over for that?
>>3048243
Get fucked and die.
Which was your favorite? I think I actually preferred this one to Goldeneye for multiplayer, but I never see any discussion about it.

The World is Not Enough N64 is arguably the best. Poorly coded game, but so much ambition and a real sense of Bond atmosphere. It is very similar to Nightfire.

Great action-RPG, or greatest action-RPG?
It's not bad. It's very short.

Shoutout to the janitors
It's fun.
How the fuck were you supposed to know to go downstairs?
How the fuck were you supposed to know how to turn on the system? Let alone that you had to put the cartridge in it.
In fact, how were you supposed that you had to open your eyes in order to play the game?
I think I'd rather have the retron threads back instead of this dumbass /v/ meme.
Real Talk: I was actually stuck in the house for a while back when I first played it. I had no idea that the floor mat thing indicated an exit. This was as a kid in the 90s.
Hello, is there a bluetooth dongle to connect a bluetooth controller to old consoles?
If not, is there a way to build one? Thanks.
I dare you to go into GameStop and ask for a dongle. Be prepared to fistfight.

LOL, Why?

Any argument against random battles in old RPGs is an argument for an inferior mode of gameplay. When you're not battling enemies in an RPG, what are you doing? You're playing a literal walking and talking (reading) simulator.
I think a lot of times it's the encounter rate that irks people, not the "randomness" itself. Say the battles occurred 80% less often in FF7, for example. Do you still think people would bitch about muh random battles in that game, then?
If you're trying to do something specific like search an area for treasure it can seem irritating to get interrupted by something you have no control over -- like random battles. That's fair and I understand that. What I don't understand is why everyone's so damned impatient. When you're interacting with the battle system in an RPG you're engaging in the most interactive, fun part of the game which is also the core mechanic that fundamentally makes it "a game." It's not a punishment.

>When you're not battling enemies in an RPG, what are you doing? You're playing a literal walking and talking (reading) simulator.
No RPG ever in the history of RPGs has had some kind of platforming or puzzle.
I'm an expert on the topic you can believe me.

If random battles are suppose to be the meat of the game, then why isn't the game just a collection of battles instead?
>>3045175
Point taken. I meant more in general, very broad terms. It's not uncommon for RPGs to have more or less half-baked puzzles out of battle. But even then, the fact remains: if you want a puzzle game, play one, if puzzles are so important to you. Isn't an RPG's main "hook" supposed to be its battle system?

Context, anon. All games require this to some extent, even Pac-man (recall the cut-scenes in that game).
I wanna get an AVI to HDMI adapter to use on a flatscreen for my N64, but I can´t tell what adapters won´t stretch the image to 16:9 instead of 4:3, anyone use any/know of any?
I'm also curious about this
>>3044651
That's the opposite of what you want to get, that takes hdmi and converts it to av.
You need av to hdmi.
Most promising SD => Super Nintendo (SNES) card out there?
I may go with SD2SNES but I've heard there are better ones out there capable of dumping ROMs as well
Super Everdrive China Version for $60 off of aliexpress. It doesn't play any of the special chip games, but there's only a handful of those worth getting anyways.
>>3044502
>>3044502
I think pilotwings, Mario kart, Bases loaded 2, tg 3000, and ballz are worth the $30 if you don't have them.
How much are you willing to pay for a legit SNES game nowadays?
In my country there's people who're selling games up to $145 which is insane.
As for me, I'm not paying any more than $15, no matter the game.
I don't fall for that "it's a collector's thing" bullshit.
>>3043574
My SNES broke a few years ago, it was literally just when TBBT became popular and old consoles got expensive as fuck.
Should've bought 10 SNES for a buck each when that was still a thing on ebay.
when will I ever get to play my games again.
>inb4 emu
But I have dem games ;__;
>>3043574
I try to keep it under 10 but I'm willing to pay 15 or more if it something I reaaaaaaaally want.
The one outlier is Megaman X2 for $75 a couple weeks ago, it was the last X game I didn't have and the rest I got around the times they were released, either as gifts or for real cheap.
I only paid that much because I know the majority of them are over $100
if you're willing to get a columous piece of plastic to store 4mbytes of data that could be stored in a sdcard without losing any functionality, i guess it is a collector thing huh
nothing wrong with that, but i dont waste my time unless its special chip games, i dont get you guys crying over this, even if its multi million stock SMW sent out with the console
