nope but it's cool to see how broken some games are, try the ridge racer games, they get some really fucked up geometry

Anybody ever tried making custom boxes for their loose games, kinda like pic related?

Figured it might be a fun way to work with the hands, make a bit more of a hobby out of the collecting process.

Thoughts?

I've always found Sega's 8-bit home games to be bland and garish in the audio, visual, and gameplay departments. What worthwhile exclusives and multiplats best played on the GG or SMS might change my mind? Was it all just shit? Am I shit? Help me understand, /vr/

Phantasy Star is pretty much the only worthwhile 8 bit Sega game. For everything else you're better off with an NES

Horseshit. Lucky Dime Caper, Tails Adventure, Sanic 1&2, Psycho Fox, there's lots of good Master System and GG games

Also had a great time with Asterix.

Depends if it's interesting talk or just another "OMI i just lurved game x the grafix wer so great and the game play wuz better then anything on any playstation" circle jerk.

I've been looking into making replacement screens for these. I used to prototype LCD displays in the 80's so this isn't just some fantasy. I had access to some very nice/expensive equipment back then but I've been able to come up with a similar process using stuff many home experimenters have.
It's not economical as it's labor intensive and you could get the same thing done professionally for a couple bucks if you're willing to order 1,000 pcs. But for proof of concept and testing it's useful.

One of my old high school teachers had a pretty nifty collection of them

I've never played one myself and the prices of them are smyrocketing so i doubt i ever will, but they're novel little devices and i can see while people like them

They definitely stand out amongst all the other shitty monchrome LCD games from the 80s like the tiger games and Konami ones. My favorite ones are those 2 player ones that come with the controllers that wind up. You'd never see anything like that today with so many mechanisms, my autism could be kept in check just by fiddling with the device alone.

What are some retro games with deep crafting systems; weapons, armor, jewellery, etc. It doesn't matter the genre or platform.

Star Ocean 1 and 2 are all that come to mind. In 2 you can craft a bounced cheque that constantly drains your money until you sell it to a shop (and you have to pay them to take it!)

Legend of Mana has fun crafting systems. You can make weapons, armor, instruments, and golems. You can also raise pets and grow food.
>>
>>3750990
Seconding Star Ocean. The third one turns it up a notch by making the ultimate weapons so goddamn awful that equipping them is a really bad idea.

Until you start some item crafting to polish them up.

Guys, in trying to track down a game an older coworker can't remember. He puts the timeline between 1984-1986.

Things he has told me:
-it's probably a console game (most likely NES)
-you play as a "regular dude", it appears you're wearing jeans and a t-shirt

-In the first game, you start by falling in a hole the very first thing you would see was a rock. If you tried to interact with it, it would kill you. Then you would go through a few screens, encounter a "beast", and it would chase you back through those screens and you would have to remember all the things that could kill you
-there were sequels to the game. In the second or third one, you could get a gun that could charge up and create a force field you can shoot through
-he said its "2d sidescroller with the illusion of 3D"

I'll update as he remembers things. Pic unrelated.

He also said he's almost certain that there were only 3 games in the series, years apart.

You can only play one old game for the rest of your life. What do you choose?

>>3750562
Pokemon Blue, I just find it to be a very relaxing game to play even though I've already beaten it at least ten times.
>>
If I can only choose one then I might as well drop the hobby altogether and actually do something productive with my life.

>>3750562
It's not like something is gonna change in my life if it will become the sole game.
Oh wait, no HoMM II.

Question for collectors:

I've been hunting for a new copy of Vib-Ribbon for ages now. I literally haven't found one anywhere in years.

I finally found one for sale on eBay but I didn't expect the price to be this high - the starting bid is $120 (no bids yet).

If that's the going price then I'm certainly willing to pay (especially considering this is the first time I've ever seen it for sale) to have it in my collection but I just want to ask if you guys think it's a rip-off.

Also if anybody else is interested please don't outbid me I don't want to spend more than $120 on this ;_;

Considering how easy it is to get a refund if a used game doesn't work I don't really see the point in wasting the money on a new copy. Save yourself some cash and just get a good looking used copy (or better yet get a modchip and a stack of CD-Rs)
>>
>>3750550
Why does it have to be new? Used Japanese copies are pretty cheap. A used PAL copy will run you a bit more, though.
>>
>>3750553
I appreciate the answer but it's I do already own this game. I'm looking for a sealed copy for my collection

I feel like growth items have a negative impact on the game considering what kind of person is attracted to this type of game in the first place.

This was a crime, you can never have enough units on the battlefield to actually feel like they're fighting a war, it's always one or two bee lining for the goal and liberating towns along the way.
