I just bought a GBA SP AGS-101 to play my original gray GB carts again in full backlit glory and I'd like to talk about GB games, consoles, accessories, whatever. GB, GBC are welcome. I used to have the original DMG model and a GB Color, but the backlight trumps all for me.
I wanna get an everdrive GB, any experiences?
Anyone into fan translations? Been meaning to crack into cave noire soon.
What are your favorite games? I loved Motocross Maniacs back in the day and just bought MM2 as well as Mole Mania.
>>2803336
I'm picking up a GB Everdrive soon, hopefully it's good.
>Favorite games
Noobow, such a cute little adventure kinda game, japan only; doesn't require japanese though.
F-1 Race, classic game, fun gameplay, plays like outrun but racing.
Metal Gear Solid, actually own a physical copy of this but damn this game is fucking really good.
>>2803346
I haven't yet played through Ghost Babel but the sneaking looks a lot more fun with that overhead angle than in 3D to me. Not a fan of sneaking mechanics in general though.
Here's another one I want to pick up one day:
>>2803373
Sneaking mechanics in it are actually hella good, and whats that game?
What are some good point and click games /vr/?
Maniac Mansion is just really great
Full Throttle

clocktower for the SNES and for the PS1
Post things in old games that made you laugh.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4Fmk3dUYu8
I laughed out loud in a few parts of Super Mario RPG. Also Tekken cut scenes.
>>2802838
>a few parts of Super Mario RPG
which parts tho
>>2802872
Not the same guy, but as a kid, the part with Booster cracked me up. Especially when you could hide behind the curtains as he tried to find you.
Hey /vr/ I'm replaying Diddy Kong Racing and I'm getting so damn buttblasted over the Time Trial runs. Shit's practically impossible; in addition to nailing every zipper and curve with machine-like accuracy, T.T. just happens to be fast as hell. We go over the same zippers at the same time and he zooms way ahead of me. What gives? Any tips? Pic related is my main man but I'm willing to use whoever just to stick it to that cocky clock.
Also, general retro kart racer thread. Mario Kart, Crash Team Racing, what have you. These things were fucking everywhere.
>>2802685
change your character. overall Pipsy is the best character, especially for the car races. some of the flying races Drumstick is better to use. .
Let go of gas when you go over the zippers. You get a green flame that makes you go faster
I loved the time trials. Immensely satisfying to seeing the clock faggot lose.
So, why do people hate repo labels again? Is it a crime to want to restore my games to a pristine condition? Because everyone acts like it is.
Because some associate them with active scammers, or with non-scammers who unintentionally enable scammers (you put on the repro label, sell it to someone, they turn around and sell it as legit). Putting REPRO LABEL on the label helps with that.
I personally don't really see the point. I think aged labels have charm, and there's the fact that they are legit labels that have been on the cart since day one and not just repros. I don't care if others use them, though, so long as they aren't trying to trick people.
My wife lo... oh nevermind.
As the above anon said, I think it's more a matter of people trying to pass them off as legitmate/original labels than anything.
Alternatively, some people being more concerned with how a game looks than playing the game itself.
I've thought about getting a reprop label of one or two games, but I'd do a shell swap with a sports game or something so as to keep the original label too.
Great Square RPG, or Greatest Square RPG?
What did you think of this videogame, /vr/? Favorite chapter? Favorite final team? Did you cry manly tears during THAT chapter?
Live-A-Live is probably my favorite SNES JRPG (not counting action JRPGs like Terranigma), despite its myriad of flaws. It's so wonderfully unique and charming that I can look past its many shortcomings.
The kung fu chapter. I really liked the old guy beating the shit out of everyone, and the music when he uses the "move" and does his little philosophy is god tier. Was a bit pissed off with the resolution of it, though.
Also, we all know the last kid was the canon inheritor of the kung fu legacy, no matter how much we want the red haired girl to be the one.
Sundown/Cube/Lei/Oboro master race team reporting in.
Why was this never released in the US?
It's a mystery to everybody.
Don't remember any Human games being localized except for latter-day Fire Pro.
>>2802535
Super Soccer
Dance Aerobics
Kabuki Quantum Fighter
Monster Party
Clock Tower 1 and 2 (PSX)
Vanguard Bandits / Epica Stella
Pizza Delivery boy or Bomber Jacket?
Terry's cool. He looks like a trucker. No wonder in the later games he fights at a truck stop.
Red jacket for life.
>>2802326
He's probably one of my favorite Japanese "American" characters. Comes a lot closer to what I think American's would actually consider badass than many do.
I like his appearance in Garou better. That sweet fucking jacket.
I never had a playstation as a kid. Just one of my friends had one, and the only game we ever played was megaman legends. I bought one a few years ago thinking I'd start to get into the system but it never really happened. Where should I start? All you PSfags, what was your first game?
I never had a PS1 back in the day. I had a friend that lent me his with a handful of games and I fell in love with Vandal Hearts. It was the first SRPG I ever played.
some obvious core ps1 games
wipeout 3
crash bandicoot 2
rayman
tony hawk's pro skater 2
final fantasy 7
ape escape
gran turismo 2
resident evil 2
The first PSX game I ever played was Twisted Metal.
Other early games I played were Beyond the Beyond (not really recommended, but if you're wondering what the RPG scene was like in the really early days of the console), Tekken, and FF7.
What series have you binge played? Which ones do you recommend for this purpose?
>>2801865
mario
>>2801869
Spin-offs included or just the mainline platformers?
What's binge playing?
Who do you usually pick?
the most underrated character ever
Random, I live life on the edge
Karin. I liked everything about her.
>>2801734
I loved him as well. He's the best weeaboo in the history of games.
In terms of old-school game design, how can randomness fuck a player's strategy, specially when doing speedrunning?
For example, in games like Pac-Man, having a ghost that moves randomly could fuck up a bit, if not entirely, a pre-planned strategy.
Short-story short, what is /vr/'s point of view on "randomness"?
Pac ain't got it. Ms Pac does.
>>2801632
>For example, in games like Pac-Man, having a ghost that moves randomly could fuck up a bit, if not entirely, a pre-planned strategy.
In my opinion, a well designed game is one where you can't go in with a pre-planned strategy and play it exactly the same as you did last time. At that point it's not really a game, it's a lengthy exercise in memorization.
The best games incorporate randomness in some way in order to make them more interesting on multiple playthroughs.

just ask what people think of Mr. Hotdog in hamburger time
My first race game
>>2801326
Mine was Spy Hunter.
Road Rash II for me. I remember liking the scenery and beating the shit outta people much more than the racing aspect, though.
>>2801326
i was forced to play this in CGA mode cause it wasn't compatible with my graphics card for some reason at the time.
The emulation General Wiki section about bsnes/higan is very confusing. I don't understand from this article what is recommended to use ...
http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Super_Nintendo_emulators
http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Bsnes
What I understood:
bsnes is now higan. but there is higan and bsnes. newest version is higan.
Article says:
>higan (formerly bsnes)
>higan's SNES emulator, bsnes
Download links:
bsnes (higan) v0.95 (dead link)
bsnes v0.73
higan v9.95
I downloaded higan, but it doesn't read any snes games, apperently it reads only super famicon, i guess.
These articles need to be reworked and someone needs to tell how to open snes games. Do I need the so called "snespurify" that is not included ?
>>2801317
correction: *higan v0.95 not v9.95
>>2801317
>Doesn't even know how to work an emulator
get out
