I bought a NES emulation system from amazon, an original NES controller and SMB3 for my bro for xmas. Should I give it to him or keep it for myself?
give him the system
This certainly needed its own topic.
Well if you bought it for your bro, I assume you think he would like it. Or did you really just buy it for yourself and use your bro as an excuse to purchase it?
what are some 3d mech battle games that don't require you to manage 29,281 parts throughout the game and can just have fun battles?
>>2842565
>that don't require you to manage 29,281 parts throughout the game
The worst you get when it comes to that is Armored Core which is really not much harder than any other game that has character customization.
>>2842565
Obvious choice is mech warrior series, also virtual on.
Virtual On but you'll need the twin sticks. GOAT arcade game though.
What are /vr/'s favorite puzzle games? Recently I've been playing Emeraldia by Namco. In addition to the standard unlimited mode, there's an Adventure mode, where you have to clear a path to drop fish off the bottom of the screen. It's a very fun game overall, and making large chains of blocks is very satisfying. What puzzle games do you like?
There are way too many action puzzle games that involving matching or forming lines. I prefer those that at least try to break away from those overused mechanics.

Landmaker is another good Taito game that has a pretty unique concept.
anyone have any experience with the twin famicom?
>>2842181
I own one. Bought it at Super Potato when I was in Tokyo.
Pretty much the best famicom console I own
(compared to an original Famicom or a famiclone)
Plus you get the built-in disk system.
Only downside, the controller cords are too damn short.
>>2842225
shorter than the original famicom?
>>2842227
Maybe 3 or 4 inches longer.
I want to play pic related but don't have an SNES and I'm not getting it any time soon.
Should I emulate it or play it on PS1?
>>2841853
PS1 versions sucks ass due to bad porting and terrible load times. If you want to pay for it, play the DS version. Otherwise just emulate on whatever.
Don't play the PS1 version, the load times are absolute bullshit and the animated cut scenes don't add anything to the game.
Get the DS version or just emulate the SNES version.
>>2841853
The DS version is probably the best, so if you can buy or emulate that, go ham.
Let's talk neat extras in console ports of arcade games, /vr/: bonus levels, characters, and specially creative new game modes.
Combat School in Metal Slug was fun (infinite shotgun runs and whatnot), but my favourite would have to be Edge Master Mode in Soul Blade
The dojo level in TMNT2 is pretty dope, if extra levels do count
You know, I used to love Tekken Force until I realized the engine only supports 2 enemies at once and half the stage is a boss fight that's just a normal tekken match and you have to repeat it three times because of the copper silver golden key bullshit and all you get for it is a broken overpowered joke character.
Then I realized Tekken Ball is really where it's at.
>>2841451
CHICKEN
One Winged Angel
Final Fantasy VII
if it aint chiptune, it aint retro music, fag
>>2840756
>1997
>aint retro
>>2840756
By it is synth quality that's somehow shittier than that of FF6's. That's gotta count for something.
games only you beat
Cleared both modes of the Origins version.
Consistently voted "Worst Final Fantasy Game Ever" for some reason. I guess most people put it down long before they could ever finish it. I didn't see anything wrong with the game.
>>2840629
The only thing you can do wrong in that game is leaving Maria in the back row.
Can we please talk about this cheater?
>>2840297
Has it ever been proven that Triple Triad cheats when the hands are concealed?

Point Blank.
hey this is actually pretty good
>>2839786
It's okay if you're wanting a fighting game you can't take too seriously.
ex2+ is better
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgRNSzGI9pE
>>2839786
EX2+ is a fairly decent fighter and although not retro, EX3 is a great party fighter with it's 2 on 2 fighting cluster fuck.
I always avoided the EX series till a few years ago since they looked like ass but they're actually half way decent in their own right.
Your opinion on Digital Devil Story
The depicted Famicom game or also the story, OVA, computer game or the SFC remake?
>>2839701
The first one is meh, Megami Tensei 2 is fantastic just for the music alone and arguably has the best music for the NES.

What video game has the best soundtrack?

randy solem was a cunt ever since mario vs sonic picked up

Super mario land
GTA San andreas
Can we have a thread for cabinets?
I would like to build my own and I need some inspiration. Anything goes, custom-built or otherwise
I've always been in love with Neo Geo cabs, always wanted one of my own but they are a fucking bitch to find in the UK plus expensive.
Always thought about making my own but I'd need plans.
>>2839365
always reminds me of akira for some reason. great cabinets
I've been thinking of doing something like the colors and shape of a ms pacman cabinet but I want the screen to be more upright. this is probably my favorite cabinet though, in terms of look
I'm a sucker for baby blue cabinets
So I have this old PC sitting around, and I'm installing Windows Server 2008 R2 on it.
What I think I'm going to do is host some old games on it. So far my list is:
Unreal (Coop, but also maybe DM)
South Park FPS DM (The MP was actually a lot of fun)
Gunman Chronicles DM
Votager Elite Force DM
AVP2 (not sure this is technically retro, but whatever)
Jedi Knight (coop? DM? I dunno)
Battlezone 2 (maybe)
Descent
Blood or Blood 2 maybe...
Terminal Velocity
Big Red Racing
And maybe some suggestions? I dunno.
I've never set up a server like this before, so if anyone has any links on how to go about it that'd be nice (plan is to utilize it in our home network as well, for storage). Otherwise I'm going to have to plow through this blind.
AVP2 isn't retro and has a kinda weird multiplayer since way too many weapons have a homing function
>>2839361
Well fuck it then. It's not like I don't have enough games to pick from.
Doesn't have to be an FPS either. That's just kinda what I grew up with.
>>2839341
>Blood or Blood 2 maybe...
definitely do Blood 1. Its multiplayer is fucking AWESOME. I'd play but man my internet sucks balls
