What are your most comfy roleplaying games of olde?
ultima IX, very buggy, but charming
>>2837176
I think it was amazing what they tried to accomplish and the game certainly has a charm to it.
Daggerfall
I found it really hard to get into at first
and it has a huge amount of flaws for sure
but once it clicks it's really relaxing.
What are some must play RPG's I haven't played many ones that i've played (and loved) are:
>Baldur's gate 1&2
>FF VII
>Crono trigger
>fallout 2
>planescape torment
That's pretty much all i've played for retro RPG's any and all recommendations greatly appreciated
Super Hero League of Hoboken.

My dad got this for me for birthday, and I assumed it was $5 shit shovelware because that was what he had got me the last three times. The only times we got good games was when he pirated stuff from work.
I ignored it for like 8 months.
>It's actually a fucking gem
>wot.
Warning, possible huge nostalgia, don't think I ever beat it, and I haven't touched it in 10+ years when I tried to replay it once.
It'd help if you said a few words about what you liked in the RPGs you played, or which one you liked the most. The "must-play" list of RPGs is like 100 games long.

If you count Roguelikes, Nethack (or preferably Unnethack, which is a fork that greatly reduces the end-game tedium).
Playing online is recommended to avoid temptation to cheat, telnet to eu.un.nethack.nu or us.un.nethack.nu , whichever has best ping.

Is the Neo Geo AES/MVS the most long-running video game platform (not counting later homebrew and computers)?
>>2837143
Sure, ok.
Is there anything here that's older?

Why are retro games better than new games?
Less padding
>>2836614
nostalgia
Because it was about the games- not the self-serving industry of parasites who publishes them.
Hey /vr/,
Any recommendations for hidden gems on GOG? Underrated games that deserve some love?
I love games like that.
>>2836582
>>2836589
Yes? No?

>buying old games
Are there any lesser known gems that are compatible with the original DMG Game Boy? Imports included.
I can think of a few games that never seem to get mentioned:
Bomberman series - There were several of these spanning DMG to Game Boy Color. A few of them include traditional versus CPU modes if you use special passwords.
Gradius - There were two of these for DMG, the first one being a rebranded Nemesis title in all regions.
Tetris sequels - Tetris 2 was ported from its NES version, and then there was Tetris Blast, which is known as Bombliss in Japan. Then there's Tetris Attack, which is really just a reskin of Panel de Pon.
I like Double Dragon I and II on the Game Boy. Too is kinda simplistic, but at least it has an original plot and characters by the series' standards. 3 sucks though.
>>2836102
Was there a legit two tone GBP?
>>2836128
If I remember correctly "Double Dragon II" on GameBoy may be a reskinned Kunio (That Super Dodge Ball / River City Ransom guy) game that was released in America. I'm sure it is but I'm not going to google it :^)
Oh and Mario 2 might actually been Dong Dong Pong in Nippon.
I'm basing this thread on the '98 showcase of Duke Nukem Forever. Here's the footage in question:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR6qFFEkALg
The trailer makes the game look promising however it's not clear how much of it was actually a part of the produced gameplay or just a simulation of one. For example the 2001 trailer was all a bluf, nothing there was produced for the game. We are left to guess if the '98 one was a one too.
Anyways, the game looks cinematic beyond it's time. Closest PC rival is Half-Life at that's nowhere near the level of action.
Do you think such a game would've been actually released it would've ushered the era of cinematic FPS games much earlier instsead of it ended out?
ahh sorry should've read before posting with mistakes
> Do you think such a game would've been actually released it would've ushered the era of cinematic FPS games much earlier instsead of it ended out?
Do you think DNF would've ushered the era of cinematic FPS games earlier if it had been released then?
Tacky misogynistic macho man garbage. Sage.
I would've prefered the 1996 version.
Cyan is supposed to be Japanese, correct?
I mean, Samurai and all...
No.
>>2835732
FF6 takes place in a world where Japan doesn't exist.
He's actually from Doma.
Games that have significant differences on harder difficulty levels. Different objectives, enemy patterns, endings, etc.
GoldenEye is much more interesting on harder difficulties with the different objectives it gives you.
Perfect Dark, obviously.

>>2836082
Shut the fuck up, faggot.
Looking for stuff on SMWCentral to play on my 3DS on blargSNES. The fucking resolution is perfect so games look really great on it.
The problem is compatibility. I figure anything Higan/Real SNES compatible should work. List so far that seem to start up ok:
> Second Reality Project
> The Crater
> Super Pika Land Ultra
> Super Mario Place
> Panic in the Mushroom Kingdom 1+2
> Master Quest 6
> Mario vs. Bowser and Mighty Number 9
> Mario Gives Up 2
> Luigi and the Island of Mystery
> Colossus 2
> A Very Super Mario World
Currently playing through Super Pika Land Ultra. Great hack. The only other complete hack I've played to finish is Panic in the Mushroom Kingdom which is a favorite of mine and works great on blargSNES except one block (pic related) that freezes the game.
Any recommendations?
>romhacks
lol
>higan
loooool
you're a shitter, higan is my favorite meme
>>2835686
fuck off
OP do you like blarg? To me it seems to have input delay
unless they updated recently
Went to my parents house last night and saw pic related among a pile of Christmas decorations on the table. Forgot I even used to have this controller. Was excited to have it once again thinking my mom found it in storage or something. Opened it up to find snowflake ornaments stored inside. My mom has kept the box for close to 20 years now to store decorations kek
oh and lets have an aftermarket controller thread
That thing probably would have traumatized me and ruined my entire childhood. Sorry to hear you had to play with that horrid piece of crap, anon.
Here is the back. The box is in great condition. Easily 9/10. Just wish it had a controller inside. Oh and Sry about the pic quality. House was pretty dark needed to use flash.
One Christmas I got a Mad Catz N64 controller than actually managed to be worse that the regular N64 controller.
Anyone know any slow/mellow/relaxing games like Toejam & Earl?
>>2835361
Toejam and earl 2: Panic on Funkotron.
>>2835361
Harvest Moon
River King
N64 Goemon
Shenmue
>>2835367
ya rite, chasing all the human fuckfaces is not relaxing at all
I'm looking for what's known as a "famiclone", so I thought that we could discuss those retro-machine clones in general anyway.
whats you opinion on them?
also - is there any half-way decent one that comes with straight ripped roms from NES games on aliexpress.com?
all I find seem to have weird china-games
I just want something really cheap that allows for playing 8bit-era retro stuff on a TV - since a NES everdrive is too expensive for my current situation. only two criteria: first, it should have at least a couple of good NES classics on it and should have 2 controllers for co-op play
alternatively: are there any "gazillion-in-1" cartridges that work on a real NES (I do have a working PAL european one)? that would be an option too.
As far as I understand it the older clones were actual hardware clones and all the clones you see today are pretty much an emulator on a chip,if you just want a cheap way to play nes games they are good I guess but expect shoddy build quality and dodgy emulation ,and the bootleg carts are all designed to work on the real system but you would need a cartridge converter for famicom to nes
>>2835349
wouldn't emulator chips be straight up more expensive than direct clones?
they obviously have quality issues - but that's just a trade-off thing.
>>2835353
Reproducing exact hardware is about 500x more expensive than an emulator on a chip. There is almost no components in a "on a chip" machine. In fact if it supports original controllers, the hardware for the controller ports is most likely more money than the main board.
/vr/, what would you do to improve Bubsy's gameplay?
Don't have CATastrophically unstructured and chaotic levels, especially in the very first level the player is introduced to.
>>2835268
Slow down Bubsy's speed when jumping and falling, and lower his maximum speed in general.
He plays far too fast to easily control.
>Japanese version
Too easy. i beat it on Very Hard with no death using Zan and spamming shoulder. lev 3 tackl on bottom of screen. kill everything...
>American version
Too hard. can't beat game on normal setting without using continue. forced to cheese with jumpkick. so boring and repitive.
There's no "just right" for this game. Both versions suck. Lame game tbqh familia
>can't beat game on normal setting without using continue
Nigga this is not an arcade game, just use continues.
>>2834893
I agree, however, it's still a good game even if you can't beat it. Every year or two I try to get as far as I can.
>>2834924
nigga i don't even play arcade games.
