Do you guys have any tips for getting good at this game?
I've been playing regularly for a few months now and I'm still having problems with stuff as simple as setting up chains.

Is there any hope for retro collecting? Is it too late?

Too fucking late

Get a flashcart or if you are too cheap get those modern multicarts like the Coolboy Real game ones, or the red NES one
>>
No. Emulate, buy flash carts, and collect non-game items like artbooks and guides.
>>
At some point the bubble will surely burst, just like with comic books and baseball cards.

Anyone ever play the original LOK? I've only played Soul Reaver, but a shop I frequent has this game. Is it good? Should I bother?

I liked it, but it's very different from Soul Reaver. It's more like a top-down Zelda game with vampires.
>>

That's what I've been noticing from images and people's descriptions. I'd be down with that.

I loved it. The cut scenes are pretty cool albeit cheesy. The spells/powers were pretty brutal, just an all-around cool adventure game with spoopy atmosphere.

I want to play DDR at home

What is the best DDR mat I can buy that isn't an actual DDR floor
24 posts and 5 images submitted.

Basically your best bet is to either buy a used cobalt flux or build your own out of 2x4s and some plexiglass.
>>
flat soft pad, plywood, vinyl covering (think office chair wheel carpet mat), 2-3 cardboard squares taped to plywood under pad for each arrow, staple gun and duct tape the shit of it to wrap it up good
>>
flat soft pad: 2nd player tier
foam soft pad with raised buttons: good enough tier.
hard pads: asian girl tier.

hey /vr/ I built an athlon64 3200 retro rig with a voodoo2, it works great but currently I use a 16:9 LCD monitor so it's not perfect for all 4:3 content. There are plenty of 4:3 LCD around but I also found a few 4:3 CRT monitors, the best one being a samsung syncmaster 793df s. Is it really worth getting the CRT over an LCD? My inner nostalgia wants to go for the CRT but I'm not sure if it's the best choice.

>>3015393
If you can get it to output 240p to it, then yes.
>>
What's wrong with the 16:9? A pillarboxed 4:3 image on a 16:9 monitor is as large as a 19" 4:3 monitor's and you have the extra width for things that support it.
>>
>>3015407
everything is stretched to 16:9 by the lcd monitor and I can't bypass that.

Do anyone else wish games were never advanced past the late 1980s / early 1990s level? Imagine if we had 40 years of progress what kind of advanced ideas would have been invented. Graphics make people lazy t b h

Nah, I love retro games but I also like a lot of modern stuff. I do love reading about hardware limitations and how developers overcame those obstacles though, and I think limitation fuels creativity. I love the modern indie scene because of this, these beastly machines and great work pipelines but a limited team thag cant just throw money at the problem.

>>3014803

That's not what's holding games back.

What's holding games back is that they try to tell a story the same way as a movie, which doesn't work. Look at games like Silent Hill, or Thief, for games that tell a good story the video game way.

If we didn't have advancement in hardware then the whole industry would stagnate and then we'd just have the Atari crash all over again.

How/Where do you guys buy your retro games/consoles? I have been thinking about starting a collection.

>I have been thinking about starting a collection.

You're a decade too late unless you're made of money. The ship was starting to sail in 2008 and since the turn of the decade it's been gone for good.

good thing I have everything I'd ever want to have
>>
Just get yourself a nice 20-ish game collection and emulate/flashcart everything else.

Anything bigger is just autistic.
>>
>>3014357
Kinda this. 20 games isn't much.

If you have a large collection of games you're not autistic for it. You're probably an asshole or have problems though.

I don't think a janitor nuked the last thread considered he/she was deleting shitposting there, I think the thread got deleted due to receiving multiple reports.

Though I could be wrong though and we might just have a schizophrenic janitor after all.

I own a special edition Pikachu N64, it's not factory sealed but it comes with the box, the console, the controller, the HYP game, and the manuals. How much do you think it'd go for?

I don't know but good lord is that thing ugly. The color scheme is neat but the giant Pikachu sticking out of the top just ruins it.

Level design is pretty shit. And honestly like the humor/style of duke way more but alot of the weapons here are really cool, the gamein general feels alot faster and the sword is a much better quick attack than the boot. Overall pretty good.

I'm just working through Wonton Destruction now and the level design is somehow even worse than the core game. Also these little ching chong bad guys are annoying as fvck

Which were better... LucasArts or Sierra adventure games?
13 posts and 4 images submitted.
>>
LucasArts
>>
What is more fun, walking a straight line or climbing a vertical wall?
>>
History will remember Lucasarts as being about quality, whereas Sierra was about Quantity.

I grew up with both, games like Dark Forces, Sam & Max: Hit the Road, and Space Quest.

Sierra failed due to poor management, Lucasarts got the short end of the stick on a tedious deal at best.

So, i am really interested in arcades and thought of the best way to play some nice arcades on my crt with an arcade stick.
At the end i just figured that a rasberry pi would be the best.
I'd just buy one, put mame and all the games i want to on it and than simply go for some gaming.
But will it be that easy?
What do i have to keep in mind when i try to build my machine?
Does a HDMI to Scart converter producea big input-lag or will it be okay?
How easy is it to actually Programm the raspberry?
How much space should the SD-cart have at least?
I'd really appriciate if you guys could help me out. thanks.

I use a Pi for all sorts.

To get around the SD card limiations I just got an old USB hard-drive (with a power cable) and put the whole OS on that. No need to worry about read-write limits now. All you need to do is copy the OS to the HDD, then set the partitions to point to the right place. Leave the SD as /boot though.
>>
It`s slow and will limit what games can be played. Some arcade games need a lot faster hardware.
>>
>>3013316
Sorry mate, but I never used mame, nor a raspberry or anything. This would be like the very first time i try to something like this and i am a fucking idiot.
So could you please explain to me what you mean with OS?
And what are the read-write Limits you are talking about?
What are the right places to setthe partitions?

>>3013329
what would you suggest instead?
I also got an old Computer in my Basement, that i used to playgames with around 2010.
Such as Black Ops and stuff like that.
so that Hardware would be fast enough?
