I'm going to be remaking a retro vidya in JavaFX for shits n gigs.
What are some of your favorite obscure sprites that I can include in this game?
I'm gonna be making the sprites by hand so the simpler (but the cooler) the better.
I'll be posting on /vr/ as the project comes along and then give out the game for free.
Let me know if you have any questions / contributions.

Pretty cool. I wouldn't recommend Java for game development, but if that's all you know that's OK too.
Include my boy the MC from Monster Party.
What are your favorite retro non-video arcade games?
Pic related for me. But Skeeball is a close second for me.

--- general Prism thread?
>>3695871
what's RTC? Gonna try Prism on my ez flash cart for the gba.

Real Time Clock -- the EDGB and EZFlash don't have one so the time is stuck in the game. This patch works around this by making the time advance in game much faster to compensate for time "not passing" when the cart is not in use.
>>3695930
Fret not, have posted there too :| -- I am playing on real hardware and this patch is for those doing too, so this belongs here on /vr/ just as much.
List some good retro games that feature Vikings or incorporate Norse Mythology.

Heimdall 1 and 2.
>>3695863
Which games from this series are worth playing?
None of them. They are real passionless games.
>>3695850
Is that a lobotomy scar?
>>3695901
I'm not sure if Air Zonk is a robot or a cyborg but I'm guessing the creators don't know either
Surprise, motherfuckers. It's time for a very special Christmas Duke 3D thread. Why aren't you playing pic related right now, exactly?

>>3695813
Because it sucks.
Because it's total fucking garbage.
All the new content is ugly as fuck and looks like it was made by a total amateur, and on top of that, it rehashes the old content in all the wrong ways.
It's shit. It's pure, unmitigated shit.
Honestly it was a glimpse into the future of the franchise.

blow it up you are ass.
What do you think about the chinese NES CT ?

The music is kind of bad, not as a matter of hardware, but trying to include too many instruments that detract from the melody.
The monochrome sprites are detailed, but the changing of palettes from one color to another on the background layer is jarring.
Why do they make bad copies yet use pokémon sprites? Isn't it all supposed to avoid lawsuits?
At first I thought the music would be this

Robotron
Did anyone else buy this when they were younger? It was such a great deal at the time.
>includes one expansion pack and one free mod
>good
lol
valvefans praise anything gabe shits out
>>3695658
I got a later version of this in a plastic case for a few bucks and I gotta say, it was worth it even though some parts of it have become obsolete (really, who'd play counterstrike online without steam nowadays?).
HL1 got a shitton of re-releases
Why do people worship this game when THPS3 mechanics wise blows it out of the water?
you only made this thread because you just watched the game sack vid
The PS1 version of THPS3 sucks dick
>>3695564
People don't worship it, they have nostalgia for it and fondness for its soundtrack. It also has some good levels. If anything most oldschool fans will say THPS2 is the best one.
I liked 3 but I thought the reverts were a bit silly (do we really need to be able to chain EVERY trick?) and I felt the style was a little more cartoony than 2's.
Which is the best Game Boy Gallery?
Probably the one with Vermin.
>>3695535
Are there actually any of these 500 in 1 game roms?
>>3695535
Do you mean Game & Watch Gallery?
I hear there's a patch that fixes some glitches and increases the difficulty. Has anyone tried it?
>>3695392
Go play a real game
>>3695475
What?
>>3695392
I hear the evasion fix isn't exactly a great fix to the problem, but the rest is pretty good.
Hello /vr/ what are some good retro horror games to play?
>>3695341
I know one. It's called "I hope all my childhood Pokemon saves aren't gone"
It's Christmas why do you want to play horror games, Anon?
SPLATRHOOOSE
I don't think I've ever seen this game discussed on /vr/ and I never understood why. It's a great game and I'm interested in hearing what you guys think of it.
Ufouria thread.
Oh damn, I absolutely loved this game as a kid. I didn't realize metroidvania was a thing until not so long ago, so I thought this was the only game to have done so.
This game was great. I'm not sure how much of a rip off it was, but I thought I had a great difficulty for kids, so many interesting area's to explore and backtrack too. I think it really goes to show how great a game can be with just a few of these thought out features.
It always annoyed me folks talked about how great Metroid was, but completely ignored Ufouria.
Metroid was shit compared to Ufouria.
>>3695493
Tell me about it!
Ufouria has a map at least.
How big would a complete PSX/Saturn iso collection end up being? I want to catch them all. Any place with a cohesive full list anywhere? The numbers are all over the place specially for PS1.
I suppose it would depend on how many regional variations you want to buy, as well as how stupid you are.
>>3695252
Saturn would be about 600GB, maybe 700. Start with this https://archive.org/details/SgaStrnCmplt and then fill in the games not included.
