ITT: Things about retro games that can/will blow the minds of current & future youth.
- Games which spanned multiple discs
- Games were complete; DLC didn't exist!
- Some games didn't have checkpoints
What else?
Gran Turismo 2 had an arcade disk and a "story mode" disc.

Having never played that - why was that necessary?
DID YOU KNOW that SMB2 was actually a romhack of an obscure japanese game called ding dong pacman?
So I pirated- I mean legally bought FF7 since I keep hearing it's hilariously bad unplayable overrated garbage with a dumb plot and I wanted to laugh at how bad it is, but it seems to actually be really good? I mean the graphics are kinda y'know but it's a mid 90s PS1 game so I was expecting shit graphics anyway and am fine with that, like I really don't think that would be enought to make it the worst game ever or whatever.
Do I just have shit taste? Because I'm really not seeing "worst game" or even "bad." Like I'm actually really digging this game. Why do people hate it?
You got that wrong it's actually VIII that everybody hates.
>>4217048
what are you even talking about
Final Fantasy VI contrarians and hipsters circlejerk around hating 7. That, and alot of people who claims it has a shitty plot either have never actually played it, or misunderstand the plot.
I've actually been playing Disc 2 all night, it's fuckin awesome.
Other people's opinions shouldn't affect your own enjoyment.

Even AVGN says that Zelda 2 is a good game in his review. I blame the OoT generation for giving Zelda 2 shit that it doesn't deserve.
>>4216256
Ask yourself what Zelda II brought to the franchise

Square-Enix was a mistake
Give me a retro game that, if released today, would be regarded as groundbreaking AND popular.
Kind of impossible unless we pretend that all other games that built off of said retro game's ingenuity also didn't exist. Like Donkey Kong. Doesn't hold up against a lot of modern platformers, but if it didn't exist, they wouldn't either.
>>4214049
This. OP's question is retarded.

>Kind of impossible unless we pretend that all other games that built off of said retro game's ingenuity also didn't exist
actually it doesn't matter, new generations are ignorant and call everything groundbreaking when they are not. Examples:
-Mass Effect (baby's first WRPG)
-Oblivion, Fallout 3 (see above)
-Dead Rising (most people think of it as the most original game ever but it's just a 3d zombie rehash of river city ransom)
-Bioshock (dumbed down System Shock)
-Undertale (Mother series)
-Demon's/Dark souls (take previous From Software games in that style and add an online component, revolutionary)
-Persona series after 3
-Most indieshit fits this too
and more... it doesn't matter how many similar games there are, what matters is to be the first popular game to reach normie consciousness. So yeah, there are lots of retro games that could be released now and blow everyone's mind even though it's not original. Even journos nowadays are ignorant as fuck and are the first to perpetuate myths about originalitys
If you only had one choice, anon, what would be the greatest RPG of all time?

How are the Taiyo Yuden CD-r now that CMC has bought them up?
shit

bye

Is there any evidence that they really are better than other disc manufactures?
>>4213158
>Is there any evidence that they really are better than other disc manufactures?
I don't know if they're better, but you certainly have to go with Taiyo Yuden if you want burned PS1 games to work. For whatever reason, discs by any other manufacturer will stutter or not even boot. Yes, with proper burn settings too.

Why do people like this genre again?
I really like belt scrollersâ„¢ but Final Fight always felt a bit dull to me too.

>shoot
why do people like this genre again?
notice how children always feel the need to reduce anything to the simplest terms, as to be able to comprehend them
Can we all agree Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is actually the worst Castlevania game of all time?
The whole franchise is horrible overrated, op.
Nah, it's fun as fuck and tons of shit to collect
Yes, every single one of us can unanimously agree upon that. Not a single one of us will disagree.
Thread for rather unscrupulous products being sold for legitimate games or systems.
You can find a large chunk of this stuff on The Internet Archive (on the software side of things at least) if you yourself are interested, but a lot of these packs are just content "borrowed" from the internet or are of generally low quality.
Anyways, did any of you anons own stuff like this?
I had a similar compilation of Doom levels, but its from Brazil
>>4224729
Do you have a picture of it? I am very interested
i have the box for this legitimately. my dad never let me try to get it to run because it 'fucked up the computer' i'll have to dig it up

Does anyone know where I can buy a fully-wired RGB scart cable for my Dreamcast? I don't want to risk buying through ebay in case I get scammed with just a composite-only scart, which I hear is often commonplace.
It helps if it has RCA audio additionally.
general dreamcast thread if you want
Buy a cheap VGA cable for like 10 bucks instead. It's better.
>>4223934
>which I hear is often commonplace
It really isn't
>>4223934
Most of the games are 480p so rgb will only get you 480i with any game that's not 240p.
You want a vga box for it.
Well, I just beat the anniversary edition on steam. I feel a bit conflicted about the harsh trial & error gameplay contrasted against the amazing style and aesthetic, but that's not the issue.
The issue is that this port is a fucking dumpster fire. Terrible control mapping, constant crashing, dropped inputs everywhere and overall just a really shoddy job on most aspects. I would not trust Dotemu to hold their own dicks while they pee after playing this shit version of the game.
>>4223914
Then plan the original dumbass.
Fucking moaning about nothing.

>He holds his dick while peeing
That's gay, nigger
This is on Steam?
