I honestly can't think of any other examples, SNK vs. Capcom is a really unique case.

>being autistic enough to take /vr/'s arbitrary cutoff point as a hard science for what is "retro" or not.
>misusing the term "retro" to begin with.
If you meant characters who debuted on a later console in a game for an earlier console, Yoshi was in quite a few NES games after Super Mario World and Peach's Castle from Super Mario 64 appears in Wrecking Crew '98. Also, Rockman & Forte had two bosses form Rockman 8.

And then there's Sonic on Master System and the Virtua Fighter 2 demake on Genesis.

I can understand how 50Hz would be considered inferior, but what the fuck is the big deal about 2-chip vs 1-chip?

>>3703003
5-12% improvement in performance.

Come on, anon.

>>3702952
If you lack a soldering iron and any knowledge of using one it might potentially be more sensible to just get a SFC. Otherwise, just mod it for 60hz and be happy to play video games.

Everyone missed Shantae though.

The only one I have is Donkey Kong Country which my mom gave to me because she either confiscated it or found it on the playground at school. I can't remember which. She was a pre-kindergarden teacher at the time.

Does this count?

>>3702443
This thread's been up for a few days, and no one mentions NES Jeopardy?

This thread is dildos.

Call bulma and tell her to build a time machine for you.

>1.42m copies sold worldwide
Yeah, it's a really rare game.

>>3702428
Got one on ebay about a year ago for $45 with a dead battery. It averages for about $50 on ebay. My local retro store also wants $100 for the loose cart.

Does the local public library count?

My 16th birthday was a 24hr lanparty at my local LAN arcade at max capacity. We played a lot of SW:JKII, Quake III, CS, BF1942, and MoH:AA.

LAN arcades were awesome.

I just used my neighbors AOL account

Old games don't need to be kept safe, those plastic housings were designed to survive nuclear winter unlike the modern decaying, scratching discs.

MK2 was always the best.

>>3701421
Yes, by far.

>>3701421
I wonder why the sound effects from the first SF2 and SF2T/SF2SCE (on Megadrive or Genesis) and the first Final Fight port on SNES sound so much better than later installments. Couldn't they just re-use them? I mean, it's capcom and they were known to follow the adage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" adage even back in the day, weren't they?

Videogame piracy isn't really an issue worth tackling. It'll always happen.

And yet it's still a terrible game

>See Dad! I told you my obsession with Japanese culture would pay off some day!

It always bothers me in these games how I'm the only one who can stop this cosmic horror that's going to destroy earth but every random shop keeper has to sell his loaves of breads, tinctures of erectile vigor and studded leather cock-rings at a profit to me.

>>3700596
Is the game good? I playes only original Xanadu and Xanadu Next.

>>3700609
same here, though you should consider that even if you are a legendary hero who must destroy the great baddie who threatens to murder the planet, you can't just go in and ruin the economies of the town you're in by taking all their valuable stuff for nothing.

Pac-Man is so cute. I want to be his friend and visit Pac World.

>>3700545
Awesome series. What other volumes have you played, anon?
