Are there any retro games you like to speedrun, /vr/?
I used to speedrun pepsiman, my record was around 19 minutes I think.

MMX

In my youth i used to speed run Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission. I never focused on item collection but just best completion time. As soon as i would beat them i would just hit new game and run again,
Post games that you thought had an ugly or very wierd art style but that you actually enjoyed playing
I will start with Comander Keen, a decent PC platformer but with a horrible color palette.
>>2858121
>ugly visual style
Most Genesis games, like Strider. I know the system has less colors than the SNES, but even games on the NES/SMS managed to look good. Hell, Beyond Oasis is a beautiful game. With it's bright cartoony art-style, it kinda was Wind Waker way before Wind Waker. But most Genesis games still managed to look like shit. Rather sad actually.
>>2858187
I think its not really a matter of how many colors are available but how you use the color palette
Kolibri and Ranger-X looked amazing on the MegaDrive, although to be fair Kolibri is using 32X
>>2858121
I don't find 8-bit Castlevanias to be very visually appealing (mostly trying to depict atosphere that they just didn't have the colour to depict), though I think the games are fantastic. I guess I'd agree with your assessment of Commander Keen's choice of colours too.
This game has very plesant music. Anyone disagree?
I guess Zelda II general thread
>>2857309
Nice music, but I really only love the Temple themes. The game isn't that bad, you can grind if you feel like it, and the combat is fun. Just don't avoid encounters
>>2857396
OP here, pretty much feel the exact same way. It's actually my second favorite NES game.
It's my favorite zelda for that reason
I keep hearing about this game...what is so great about it? I am a fan of jrpgs, yet I feel a bit burnt out on the genre, will this be a breath of fresh air?
Retro JRPG general
>>2856380
Engaging combat, fantastic art design, great music, great visualsfor Saturn, and your riding a badass flying Dragon that can morph into different dragons. Can't go wrong with that.
Worth playing? Absolutely. Worth paying $200+ for it? No.
>>2856391
Does it emulate well?
>>2856392
Not sure about emulating. Never tried. Haven't heard great things about Saturn emulators tho. Heard the jap version is a lot cheaper if you can read moon or just don't care about knowing the story.
I grew up in the great cd wars of the early 90s, i am hugely fascination by FMV, night Trap is one of my favorites and i thought was really interesting.
can we have a discussion about such a unique genre.
i played this at the arcade
i love seeing amazing actors in these games

John Romero just shared a video of the PC version of Mario 3. iD software made it in 1990 and presented it to Nintendo (who rejected it). They went on to make Commander Keen instead.
So this was right after the "Dangerous Dave In Copyright Infringement" demo, right?

>iD software made it in 1990 and presented it to Nintendo (who rejected it).
I don't blame them. The flight mechanics are completely off.
Does anyone else miss these?
I still have some PS1 games that included bonus / demo discs. Too bad that practice died sometime around the sixth generation.
>tfw your Pizza Hut order will never again come bundled with free vidya
>>2852613
Totally. The most nostalgic being the RE2 demo.

Demo discs were great when your poor and the only time you picked up new games were birthdays or at Christmas.
Anyone else play these as a kid?
>>2852389
I played that one, it was kinda crap. The Dr. Brain series from Sierra was much better.

I even steal wifi to post this,its embarrassing.
PSIO to be send right before Christmas.
Won't be here for like 3 weeks though cus shipping
Recently found Brawl Brothers for SNES (aka Rival Turf 2) and have been enjoying it. Side-scrolling beat-em-ups can be rather repetitious & predictable, and this game is no different there... just part of the genre I suppose. But I like it better than the Final Fight series at least. You'll probably want to adjust the options on the main screen before playing. The "Angry Mode" is a nice addition. I also like little details like the CRASH sound effects being drawn on screen like a comic book. The hit detection can be a little off sometimes, but the fact that you can move your character around quickly makes up for that. This one is definitely a lot better than Rival Turf. I have yet to play The Peace Keepers, but I'll get around to that one as well. JALECO made some pretty solid beat em ups for the SNES. I'd say pick this up if you see it around at a decent price.
Apparently this is the only North American SNES cart which has both the English version of the game as well as the complete Japanese version (which does have some differences from the American version) hidden on the cartridge and accessible with a cheat code.
I'm playing this for the first time, based on your post. Does the sewer part of the first level ever end?
The sewer part is a maze... you'd think they'd save the harder parts for later and not throw you right into them... You may need a walkthrough for that part to figure out the proper route. I sure did.
My first fatality was Mileena's man eater, and years later, I developed a vore fetish.

My first fatality was Bo Rai Cho fart in MK:D. Yet i had MK3 for SNES.

Maybe because you got them for Christmas or just because they seem to have a festive atmosphere what are the game you have to play every year?
For me it has to be Toy Commander on the Dreamcast even though it was not set at Christmas it was always snowing outside and that house was so damn cozy and a year later it had a special Christmas level on the Dreamcast demo disk.
Spyro 3, PS1 was my first console and it was the first game I got. All the Sunrise Spring worlds are maximum Christmas nostalgia.
I play it every Christmas

Is it like a thing when auctions are always rigged and AT BEST, you only make 2 dollars difference of the cheapest BIN price now?
there's even cases when the auction price ends EVEN HIGHER!
Is it not obvious that with Buy-It-Now you are paying for the immediacy of not having to deal with an auction? Time is money and buy-it-nows are usually priced taking that into consideration. Of course there are always ridiculous sellers who put prices they'll never get, but on the bright side they have to pay to keep those annoying listings up.
There's a lot of rigged shit on ebay.
Auctions go for anything especially auctions under $50.
If you're trying to save money on like a $20 dollar tops game than you're pretty jew to begin with so ebay should be like a second home for ya.
>>2852475
that's is a weak justification if you ask me, seems like Ebay system is shitty to begin with auctions.
Has any series topped Princess Maker in letting you completely customize the fate of your character?
