I've always had the feeling that the userbase here is older on average compared to the other boards, but just how long have you guys been playing vidya?

To keep the thread fun feel free to post shit like the age you were when you got your first system or just some of your favorite memories from back in the day.

Born in '88. First consoles were an Atari 5200 (I think it was a 5200) and an NES. Not sure which one I had first since I was pretty young.

Born in 90. Been playing as long as I can remember. We had a Genesis and NES in the house since I was born.

91 here. First System was Genesis.

I finally beat this motherfucker today. Never played another Castlevania, are they all as hair-tearingly difficult as this one? Literally hurt myself shouting in victory when I finally got him.

At least they let you continue from the room before the battle. I was going to give up completely if I had to do the last castle bit another fucking time.

Depends on which routes and partners you take with you.

The actual hardest Classicvania is completing all 6 loops of CV68K.

Everyone pisses their pants talking about SNES and Genesis. Lets talk about the superior console of that generation, the Neo-Geo AES and its arcade counter part the MVS.

They were honestly pretty obscure, at least in the States. I didn't learn about the TG16 until years after its death, and I didn't know about the AES and MVS until I started browsing /vr/ (I knew about the NGPC though).

Thinking of buying a nice little 2.1 setup for my games, but I'm not sure if the sound quality on old systems is even worth spending money on.

Will SNES games in particular benefit from the added subwoofer?
30 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
Sounds systems in general are a pretty worthwhile investment in my opinion. Good ones tend to hold up, the technology doesn't really change that much and so they tend to be good for a long time, and really most things get some benefit from it.

Unless you like a particularly compressed sound that weaker speakers supply then you're never going to really lose something from getting reasonable speakers, everything will sound as good or better.

I don't think you'll get too much from older games from the subwoofer, but how much are you looking to spend here? Also, is this only for older games or is this for more general use?
>>
>>3002994
It's strictly for my retro station, to replace my pvm's mono audio. SNES is original hardware, everything else (from mame up to gamecube) is emulated if that has any effect on sound.

Was hoping to spend around $100 bit I don't even know if it's possible to get decent speakers for that much, let alone a sub
>>
I actually thing snes benefits the most from added Treeble effects to fix the muffled samples, but this is just my personal preference.

Best way to GB is with a SGB/SGB2 and that funky SGB controller.

The GC Gameboy player is shit, so, don't use that.

Emulation is the obvious answer. Tons of extra features and options.

Considering this board goes up to 5th gen (and Dreamcast), do you guys consider that the last great gen? Just curious.

>>
It's the only great gen
>>
>>3002178
5th gen was an abysmal and awkward "middle stage" for video games.

Most of the generation's killer apps have aged like fine milk.

It made crucial, essential, and genre defining steps for 3D gaming, but it's not pretty to look back on the way 3rd Gen and 4th Gen are.

I grew up learning the game industry in a different light than it is now. What worked ten yars ago doesn't work now. The core gamers have changed over the decade. Why is this important?

I just got into game development. Released a couple of professional games already, on console and one on PC. And I came to learn that the game has changed. So lost out at sea of depression and passion, I have come to you /vr/. I need to look at the past in order to help me with my future. I need to understand what it means to be a game developer. I need to know what made many of these developers of the old tick. I thought I knew it all, but I learned I know nothing. And maybe, just maybe, you can't survive as a lone developer anymore.

Yeah, so when the JapaJews started making shitty 3D games, they forgot to add the gameplay. As a result, we have been playing the same Polygon shitfests for the last twenty years.

Here is a good place to start if you want to see where the hardcore 2D video games last evolved.

I offer: Don Pachi IV by Cave.

Wouldn't Devil May Cry or Ninja Gaiden Black be the hardcore of 3D action games?

I'm not an expert but it doesn't look too bad if you buy replacement parts and it could be a good way to learn about soldering and stuff.
>>
>>3001871
It's not bad but it needs the discrete components replaced (diodes, resistors, that electrolytic cap).

But honestly if that's SMW then I'd just junk it and get another cart for $5.
