What are some 8-bit games that you think are worth $10(or your country's equivalent)or more in 2017?
Digital copy. Can't resell it. Can't place it on your shelf. Can't pirate it. Nostalgia goggles off.
The game is just that good.Hard mode: No flagship Nintendo franchises.Harder mode: No Capcom games either.

10 bucks is a fucking steal. You should have gone with "which games are still worth their original retail price" instead.

Let's have a /vr/ sharethread. Don't see these too often.
Arabic Pepsiman Romhack
https://mega.nz/#!dEUwgJqT!O6k5BLEvsESRL2QH0zsdrtblmBhx6fb7RXlyr-7R0RY
So someone on YouTube seemingly from the Middle East has unearthed an old romhack of Pepsiman from a long time ago just recently and reuploaded it 3 or so months ago.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXOP-hbR3z8
>It's clearly an unofficial rom-hack as evidenced by the title screen crediting a mysterious person who goes by the aliases "KOC2K" "King of Computer 2000" and "[email protected]". Despite its dubious legal status, the Arabic copy was sold as a legitimate game in Egypt and I was able to play it on the console of a cousin who owned it. There are no doubt other Let's Plays and speedruns online, and looking back, the only real purpose of this is to hear the Arabic cutscenes (the in-game ones, not the FMV actor), which are somewhat funnier than the originals if you understand Arabic, in my opinion (in Arabic, "Pepsiman" rhymes with "Eggplant" so one of the NPCs makes a play on words).

Not too sure if this will run in any other emulator, or even if it's burnt to a disc and played on a PS1/PS2.

So any retro RPGs like FF8&9 were the enemies are actually unique and not just recolors or slighly tweaked designs (Inbf4 Elvoret and Elnoyle)?
I can believe even in the current gen devs dont bother to offer unique enemies like FF9&8 did.

Do you have a number for monsters?
Because there's a lot of old games with less than a dozen monster types to encounter.
>>
>>3893663
Now that i think about it it kind of makes sense that FF8 didn't have any recolors because enemies just simply scaled level so stronger recolors were not needed.
FF7 didn't have all that many recolors if i recall.
>>
>>3893663
Ff8 did have some awesome enemies.
Pokemon didnt reskin, unless you count shiny pokemon or red gyrados.

So I'm nostalgiafagging for a GBC and Pokemon gold/silver.
I'm worried about the non-blacklit screen though. I can't quite remember how shit it is.

As far as the classic GB line goes, the Color's screen is probably the easiest to make out. But if it bugs you, a worm light is a perfectly viable solution.
GB Pocket has a slightly larger screen than the Color, and a smaller form factor to boot. The screen is a step down in quality though. Issues like banding aren't uncommon.

>>3893667 makes some great points, I'm personally a big GB Pocket fan. I got a GB Boy Colour recently though, and it's a great, cheap solution if you want to play in the dark. I use my Pocket when I've got good light, and the GB Boy otherwise.

>>3893682
Yeah I just remembered Pocket was a thing. I'll probably get that too just off the strength of the form factor. It's well designed.

Actually, being a veteran Apocalypse player I guess I could do just that. Not right now though, as I am just on the cusp of the campaign climax as we speak. It's now a race to build workshops and warships.

why is this game so underrated? Its way better than Zelda II.

Nintendo was a control-freak monopolizing vulture which set back
evolution of video games in North America for a decade.
I'm from Europe, and there was no "video game crash" there. That was a
purely North American phenomenon. Ask yourself why is that? As a matter
of fact, the mid to late eighties were a golden age of computer gaming
in Europe with the first indie scene in the form of "bedroom-coders"
appearing and blooming... while North America was firmly under
Nintendo's heel. One nation, under Nintendo...
Nintendo was and is evil. They practically invented the walled garden
concept which totally blocked anyone without 100s of 1000s of dollars
from making games... and those had to be made strictly to what Nintendo
declared games should be.
As I kid I visited the US back in the late eighties and I was shocked by total domination of vapid console games, all made for kiddies. While in Europe we had the likes of Atari ST and Amiga especially, where you could have a bunch of school friends creating the next hit game, you in the US had total censorship, all games made by big companies, all playing safe, all kiddie-proof, no blood, no adult themes, no real horror, not even religious symbols ffs... Just kiddie stuff. Platformers with dumb animals and cartoon characters. Awful. Like Brave New World, or Logan's Run. Totally dystopian.
I mean, there was still a nascent PC scene in the US, and C64 was going relatively strong, but in the US this was not mainstream like in Europe and Japan to a lesser extent. In Europe it was considered normal that if you are a gamer, you are also at least a somewhat active agent.. in a way, you had to be a at least a little bit of a "hacker" to be a "gamer" - just look at the fantastic demo scene in those times which produced an incredible generation of programmers. In the US...? No, gamers are consumers. You consume that which Nintendo gives you to consume. Just push the play button and ask no questions. Just horrible.

I don't believe anon stated otherwise.
The point is that the company which stepped in to fill that (localised) gap did untold damage to the video game industry as a whole.

How would you go about finding obscure retro games that have been lost to time? Games that you know are out there, but you can't play because they were never ripped to the internet and there's not much info or screens of the games. Examples of these kind of games include Horror Tour 3 / Labyrinthe (pictured), Osamu Sato's Roly Poly games (same guy who made Eastern Mind and LSD), Refixion III, Imagynasium, etc.
For example a couple years ago people on /vr/ were looking for the sequel to Eastern Mind, and a random Japanese anon had it in his attic. But that was only good luck, for Japanese games maybe it would be best to ask on 2ch or some other forum (I don't know any) but I know 2ch is Japan IPs only.

I'm sure someone else can put you in the right direction but there are tons of diy out there to make boxes for your collect and it's pretty cheap now a days to print hq.
I do remember a website/seller that was selling repro hq boxes and mini versions that looked great and we're only like 10 bucks or less.
