In a shrewd bit of marketing, players who make it to the final level of Vigilante are greeted with advertisements for better IREM games.

From toys r us? Good memories, pic related.

Aww yeah, buying video games via paper slips? That takes me back. It made video games see that much more magical, like they were hidden away in a vault and those were your tickets to get them out.

>tfw your parents would just leave you in the video game aisle and you'd look at all the games on display

You can't emulate that feel. At least, not without some kind of VR headset.

Agreed.

they cant go soon enuff in tha trash

Disks will die long before carts do. Both won't last forever but carts will last way longer.

They won't last forever in a "nothing will last forever" type of way.

Discs are a little more susceptible if they you treat them like a child treats his or her toys - IE LIKE LITERAL SHIT*.
But storing discs in even half-adequate conditions - like not leaving them stacked on top of one another, kept in cases if in a humid environment, away from outside, oil grease and so on - should keep them workable for long after you and I are gone and some poor schmuck in the future is paying $500.00 per disc for our shitty Madden games.

Granted, some discs are fucked now, but that's because they have been treated like shit.

*my little cousins, 8 years old, has PS3 discs all over the floor, stacked on top of one another, smears greasy fingerprints all over them, drops them on tiled floors and other assorted horrors. It makes me wonder if I was as bad to my SNES carts growing up - likely not because even if I threw out the boxes (didn't give a shit back then - still don't lol) I kept those carts together, safe, and usually in dust shields.

Enjoy your waste of money.

RetroUSB AVS is better desu.

>>3758052
What a lovely aluminum case for your chinese bootleg emulator

>>3757937
Nah it's not too hard. I remember it being annoying though because you have to carry the right keycard into the level to proceed so there's some trial and error there.

>>3757943
I never understood why the second and third areas of the game were Areas 4 and 5.

Its the excact difficulty a game should be. They perfected it.
Really good soundtrack as well.

>>3757919
I played Super R-Type as a kid. Not exactly the same, but close.

Hated it btw.

>>3757929
ah, what shooters do you like then?

>>3757930
Gradius II, Darius Gaiden, Detana!! Twinbee , Radiant Silvergun, any of the Raidens, Image Fight, etc...

k. If you can't describe it then why'd you make this thread.

>>3757338
Cuz other people who have the gift of gab may say what I mean just clearer and then I go "Oh, yeah! And ______" because memories are like firelogs that way.

And also, Everquest thread. I've seen some funny stories.

>>3757340
mmm. I can't help ya. My first MMO was Ragnarok Online.

>>3757319
He changed from just being a shitty nerd in a back room talking about bad games to an overproduced movie man.

He forgot what makes his videos funny is talking and giving observation about the games rather than making terrible video effects and scripts that fucking suck.
Also "characters".
Jesus christ, this guy is a mess, I cringe with his videos now, it just sucks so hard.

>>3757319

James started using his real personality more and his AVGN persona less. Seems like he doesn't care for doing AVGN anymore and only cranks out new videos for income stream, really makes the videos come off as forced and disingenuous.

>>3757193
You aren't supporting the devs by buying a cartridge off of some neckbeard you stupid fucking frogposter.

Downloading roms literally makes you worse than Hitler.

KEK

I seal them airtight in zip lock bags and place them in the deep freezer.

I just keep them in a cheap plastic set of drawers, have been for the past 10 years. Keeps them out of sight, but easy to access and clean. No damage so far, though I've also mostly switched to flashcarts and don't have as many carts to worry about anymore.

>I understand that N64 carts have a shorter lifespan than SNES ones?
This is the first I've heard of this. Where'd you read that?

I had my snes carts sit out in the back of my moms car for 4 F O U R years in the florida hot ass sun and then another year outside on the back porch in a zip lock bag and they work perfectly fine.


Y'all obsess way too much.

They also look clean (although I had to use rubbing alcohol)

Because it's actually a GB port of Shadow of the Ninja, with the Ninja Gaiden name slapped on it to capitalize on the success of that series.

But yeah, awesome game.

>>3756968
They did such a fucking bangup job of remixing some classic Ninja Gaiden tunes on the GB soundchip, and it's a great game in general

You get what you pay for. Most of the stuff I've seen on it, you'd have a cheaper and easier time getting a CRT or just making a retro pi set up for your HD

>>3756937
Yeah, but I can't seem to find any more expensive scalers, either.

even composite on a crt will net you better results than most scalers.
