Are forest levels the undisputed GOAT on retro video games?
>>2791762
Yeah pretty much, especially that one with it's GOAT theme song.
yes
>>2791762
I found a factory sealed Nintendo 64 for 80€
Is it a good deal?
>>2791607
Yes.
Not OP here.
Don't want to make an extra thread.
Would you pay 170€ for this?
Lets talk about N64!
I'm a big fan of Thanksgiving, so I really dislike holiday creep. Nonetheless, I've begun to think about gift giving already. Has anyone bought before from one of those Ebay sellers offering pic related and 2-3 games for ~$100? What was your experience? I know it's not the best deal out there, but it seems worth it if I can reliably get decent controllers.
Of more personal interest; does anyone know what's up with the UltraHDMI? I just found out about this mod from watching this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpy1M6v2_MI
but I can't find any more info anywhere. Legit? Vaporware?
Ebay/paypal heavily favors the buyer in any disputes, so as long as you read the description (ie don't buy one that says "as is" or "untested") from a seller with 98%+ ratings you'll be fine.
>>2791513
Thanks. There are 3 or 4 of these sellers and they are all well rated. I figure it's a safe buy more or less.
I was more interested in whether the the controllers really are in good shape. It seems to be a point of emphasis, but I have no idea what an "8/10" stick is supposed to be like.
I don't really care about the free games, I fully expect them all to be EA sports garbage.
>>2791519
Well an 8/10 probably means they're not super dirty and all the buttons and stick work and aren't worn out.
If you do get a dud or a fucked stick send a message to the seller and they'll almost certainly give you a partial refund or swap. Seller ratings as massively important and often a 1/5 rating can be worse than taking a loss.
I know it's early, but here's a link to the Snow Level Music that was put together a while back.
This includes Disks 1-4

will check this out...
maybe paste a track listing here to spark some interest?
virus don't click )^:
how did the developers program the color palettes before they could even be played that way?
The Super Game Boy just assigns arbitrary colors to the different sprite layers.
>>2790879
>arbitrary
really? some of the colors definitely seem planned, like kirby being pink
>>2790886
Or the two Gen. 1 Pokemon games.
when did you play this last?
I played it in 1995.
I remember looking for the lock-on cartidge everywhere, but in my country it was hard as fuck to find original Sega games, they were all bootleg carts, considerably cheaper so most of the times I didn't care, but with S&K I did since when I got it, it was a regular cart and I couldn't use it with Sonic 3.
Eventually I got to play 3&K on Sonic Jam for the Saturn.
But as for vanilla S&K, yeah, 1995.
Probably haven't played it since KB Toys had a kiosk running it
2 days ago
Mostly just a quick check to make sure the rom worked before I give this setup to my cousin
As a kid I thought this setup was the coolest thing ever, though I didn't actually play it that much. By the time I got this cart the N64 had already came out and I was obsessed with getting one so I could play mario kart.
This fucking thing.
Why did they try to extend it's life so fucking much?
Look at all the fucking shit they did.
PORTABLE GENESES (yes, geneses is the plural of genesis)
-Mega Drive
-Mega Jet
-Nomad
ADDONS AND SHIT:
-GENESIS 2
-GENESIS 3
-MEGA CD
-32X
-CDX
Why?
Why'd they do this? Why the fuck did Sega want to kill itself instead of just releasing a separate in between system? Why did they can the Neptune? Why the fuck did they not just release the Saturn later and give it some more development time and let the Sega Neptune sit in, then drop it's price and launch the Saturn?
What the fuck. I loved Sega why did they commit suicide over one fucking system.
>>2790326
SEGA DO WHAT NINTENDONT
>>2790330
fail?
Why do you think that stuff is what killed them? Genesis 2 and 3 and Nomad were probably pretty cheap to make. Would have been cheap technology at the time. (Maybe not the Nomad because screens tend to be expensive)
Decided to play all of Quintet's SNES games. Played Actraiser, it was pretty fun overall. The city-builder segments were interesting at first, but became increasingly tedious. Now I'm playing Soulblazer, what a weird concept - restoring buildings and people to the towns as you progress through the dungeons. Is the Master in this game supposed to be the same as the one in Actraiser?
Even though SoulBlazer, Illusion of Gaia, and Terranigma are known as a trio the only two Quintet games that are related are the two Actraisers.
>>2790295
Why are they considered a trio? Just because they're the same genre by the same company, kind of like how Demon Souls and Bloodbourne are considered part of the same "set?"
How is Robotrek?
>>2790329
It's dope, can be a grind at bosses though.
I am going to buy 7 N64 virtual console games
Mario 64
Pilotwings
F Zero X
Wave Race
Mario Tennis
Sin and Punishment
Oggre Battle
I already have Ocarina and Majora in the Gamecube Collection, and got Star Fox and Paper Mario as Club Nintendo rewards.
I dont know if I should buy them on my Wii to play them in 240p (I have it connected to a crt), or if it is fine to buy them on the Wii U in Wii Mode and play them in 480i, I can connect the Wii U to the crt with the wii component cables.
IIRC, the highest resolution of the N64 was 480i with s video, so 480i with component cables may still be fine.
also, I would suck monster cocks for Goemon, the star wars games and Mischief makers in the virtual console.
I am not using the Wii U n64 virtual console because I read the input lag is awful.
>buying from the the feeShop
Good lord.
All of these games are 240p originally
>>2790287
This topic and question is why /vr/ should be deleted.
Hey,
Do any of you have experience with RGB Scart?
In particular, I am noticing my N64 RGB Scart doesn't look so great on a 50 inch 1080p. I think I may need to sit farther away from it, but I also just think a 50 inch is just too big for the N64 at 1080p.
Do you guys have any recommendations LED TV wise for RGB Scart?
I was thinking of getting a 30 inch 1080p TV for my retro RGB gaming.
I wanted to note that this is only an issue with 3D systems. 2D systems look great on any size TV.
Stop being an autist and just play the fucking game.
this is for all of you out there
>>2790227
It doesn't look that good and I get field of view sickness on the 50 inch.
I've got to ask:
Is your N64 actually modded for RGB output?
By default, all you're going to get out of it over SCART is composite.
Show me some good platformers for computers or arcade or whatever - anything but consoles or handhelds. This is somewhat unknown territory for consoletardslike myself. Try to keep it to platforming-platformers, including run and guns etc makes things too easy.
Pic may or may not be related.
Very different than NES
Also very different from NES
How do you make Rampage good again?
>>2790062
Be 6 years old again in the 80's.
don't play it unless you have a friend around and tons of weed
>>2790084
^pretty much

Sell all your non-everdrive/burned games
soon before they become worthless.
>>2789729
Why the fuck would I sell them? I didn't get them to be a reseller hipster.
>>2789729
Video games are art.
Just like Paintings and other forms of art, they will only rise in price until they are worth millions. Give it 100 years or so
>>2789729
Probably around the same time the market for vintage records pops. That's to say, never.
Some guy just found a prototype of Freak Boy at a flea market. There are a few video clips of him playing it here http://www.unseen64.net/2015/10/23/freak-boy-prototype-has-been-found/
Who wants to be he refuses to dump the ROM?
>>2789310
Then nothing of value would be lost. People only want it because they don't/can't have it.
I'm interested in this. I recall seeing a blurry, incomprehensible screencap of this game in a magazine back in the day.
>neverbefore sceen n64 freakboy game. freak boy
I sincerely hope that English isn't this guy's first language.
