I want to play and beat the whole "main" Mario series, up to and including Odyssey.
Is there any official statement on what counts as part of the "main series?"
Do Donkey Kong/Donkey Kong Jr.(please say no; I don't want to play them all the way to the kill screen)? What about the Land games?
Should I count SMB2, SMB2JP, or both?
>>3941676
>Super Mario Bros 2
Actually, Super Mario Bros. 2 was actually originally a game called donkey donkey picnic, and it had nothing to do with mario at all!
I guess all of the main Mario games have "Super Mario" in the title.
A long time ago, I heard that Ice Climber actually began as a prototype for SMB1, so it counts if that story is true.
So is everybody in this board a millennial or younger?
If you are older, I'm curious: do you also play current games, or are you mostly /vr/ full-time?
Born in '85, and I mostly play new games, but I still enjoy older games, as well.fun games are fun
Why do you want to know? I don't trust mavericks.
Being born in 84, I guess I'm a millennial.
I apologize for about 70% of my generation.
I posted this in another thread, and no one believed me, so I wanted to see if anyone else had done this, which I'm sure some of you have.
Did anyone else beat Mike Tyson on their first try? I know, it sounds like bullshit, but I'm dead serious. It took me a long ass time to beat Super Macho Man (his spin punch is a bitch), but once I got to Tyson, his fighting required more reactionary counter-measures than patterns. I cant remember if I TKO'd or decisioned him (probably whichever one is easier) but I DID beat him the first time.
I seriously doubt I'm alone on this
Follow-up, it honestly bothers me that no one may ever believe this. Also I did not watch any YouTube videos about Tyson

That answer your question?
I haven't played that game since the early 90's but I put that code in SO many times that when I'm old and senile and don't remember my own name or what a bathroom is I'll still be able to rattle off that code without a moment's thought.

I don't think you read my post, although I appreciate your kindness. I'm saying I beat Tyson on my first try, but no one will believe me
I have a question but it's pretty specific so let's just turn this into a general retro sports game thread.
Is the genesis version of NBA Jam any good?
Yea its awesom
Super Tecmo Bowl is some serious comfy shit, though...unless you go against Bo Jackson.
>>3941410
It's excellent, less colors than the Snes version but unlike Snes it has music playing during the match (which really adds to the feel) and its all very fast and there's no sluggish feeling.
Genesis T.E. is great too, but Hangtime really suffered from the lack of colors.
What are some good 2d platformers with controls that feel really good, besides the obvious (Mario, DKC, Sonic, etc.)?
Preferably something with a good number of secrets. Pic related is still my favorite platformer of all time, and I'm looking for something to challenge it.
>>3941396
Megaman X1,2 and 3.
>>3941396
Sparkster / Rocket Knight Adventures.
>>3941396
Wonderboy and Sonic on master system.
I've seen the rarest games, thes shittiest games and I have some horror stories.
Tl:dr I'm in work an hour early ask me shit
>>3941330
I don't want to ask you anything but seeing that copy of New horizons makes me want to fire it up again.
What's your profit margin on Earthbound?
>>3941346
Best part of working here. I'm only 20 but I get to see and learn about old games everyday:3
Does anyone here know how to properly set up a Playstation emulator? I'm too poor to bother buying the original, let alone fucking unreliable CDs. Pic related.
>>3941317 Ok, but I meant could you tell me how to?
Download psxfin.exe. No plugins, no setup.
Now get out.
>>3941332
Ok, thank you very much.
Were there any good Ren & Stimpy games on SNES?
I recall Time Warp, where I couldn't get past the beginning of the game because you had to collect some absurd amount of Gritty Kitty bags. I was convinced it was a glitch.
The one where you're firefighters for a level and dalmations the next level?
>>3941238
>Good
>Reddit and stimemey
Fuck off underage
>>3941246
That's not a good game though
I loved this game as a kid, completed it 100%
Anyone else?
Been there, done that.
Got 100% in it last year.
Was alright.
Played it a few years ago. All I needed to do was complete the VR Mission and I would have 100%. I just stopped playing it since I was busy with The Last of Us.
Been thinking about finishing it lately. I remember that C4 mission where you had to place them on a guard and detonate them when he was near the cameras. fuck that drove me nuts.
What are some other examples of games where the console port was superior to the arcade original?
>>3940568
turtles in time
>>3940568
UN squadron.
>>3940568
Altered Beast
Select your hero.
Nobody ever picked Drumstick.
>>3940529
Can I pick one of the trees? The rest of these suck.
>>3940529AH'M BANJ-WHOAAAAAAUGH
PE2 > PE1
I honestly agree anon. I can replay it endlessly for some reason.
>>3940512
shit, didnt notice before that he had the gunblade
I can also play it endlessly
I love PE2.
I use to think that both PE1 and 2 were just as good but each for different reasons.
But last year I replayed PE2 4 times and a half in a row. Really learnt to play and appreciate the game, digged through all the difficulty modes and stuff... What a masterpiece! After that I couldn't even bring myself to replay PE1, it feels so weak and... old in comparison.
Have some M249

What is currently the best way to emulate games up to the Dreamcast on TV? I don't want to buy original consoles and use roms or whatever, because I don't want to hook them up to HDMI. They look like garbage, and the mods cost a shitload.
>>3940336
>I don't want to hook them up to HDMI
Then buy a CRT.
To answer your question, though: a spare laptop
>>3940357
I'm definitely not putting a CRT anywhere in my new apartment. Those bulky pieces of shit are awful looking.
>>3940367
Then go without video games you shallow cunt.
Why is it STILL the best game in the franchise?
>non-linear
>open world
>no story bullshit
>secrets are actual secrets and not obvious as fuck
>the game is genuinely challenging at times and doesn't hold your hand
>>3940215
this
I flipflop on my favorite but I think the first four zelda games are some of the best games ever made and they're all quite different from one another
See any of your favorites here?
>>3940120
No.
Nice memeberry.
>>3940120
Fucking love toy commander
thats a nice half life bootleg, where'd you get it?
