These things were everywhere when I was a kid. I'm quite sure the Y-shaped things were tanks.
I don't think the games themselves had names but the machine itself was often called Brick Game. I remember the large tank but I can't find evidence that it existed, it was probably a different version since these came with tons of variations of each game, because 9999 in 1.

It was called WW because it was plopped in at the last minute when the original WW was too big to fit in the shitty 2k or whatever we had. You shoot the edges of the mother ship not the middle where, as you know, you get ass raped. Lost the source in 92 when every flip shit kalok drive in the office died at the same time.

Thanks, I'll look it up

Shooting the sides? Is that it? I don't remember doing any damage to it. Maybe I wasn't doing the right thing

>>3678928
why aren't you adjusting the brightness on the display itself?

>>3678934
mame displays games to brightly, and adjusting the monitor doesn't look the same it does when adjusting mame settings. plus.... the monitor controls are no longer labeled. I took a monitor apart to mount it.

>>3678939
it looks like the backlight is set too high though, which you're not going to be able to set lower if you do it on mame.

>Anyone know what to do about these?

Yeah, play on original hardware like a true fan.

Pretty sure this is just how the PlayStation was

There's game shark codes you can use to remove the blur.

>>3678635
The developers intended for the blur to exist. It helps with the color exchange in the sprites.

>>3678534
Go out of your comfort zone then. Try new genres and new platforms. There are always new games to try, you just have to try harder.

>>3678543
This OP. Play something else. It sounds like you're trying to go on a nostalgia trip with things that you're not particularly nostalgic about.

A little site, you may have heard of it, called "ebay."

>>3678475
I actually think Amazon is a bit better, but ebay isn't bad. If you don't care if they are reproduction carts, just order off of Ali Express, or better yet if you can afford it, just buy a flash cart.

Even people who don't like adventure games can enjoy it.

I played it once and thought it was cool but I don't remember anything about it except that it was pretty cool.

I loved Fate of Atlantis, but adventure games are hard to talk about sometimes because they are very puzzle-heavy, and puzzle discussion is usually either 1) spoilers for people who haven't played, 2) people complaining about a puzzle that was too hard for them, 3) basically saying "hey remember this cool part?" which isn't that interesting as a topic.

Trying to talk about why a puzzle is cool is a little like trying to talk about why a joke is funny. Yes, you can do analysis and break down the pieces and how they are delivered, but appreciating it as an audience member is still largely a matter of "getting it."

i am sure it will be amazing!

>>3678356
Any news on this? Or is it still in the "Wouldn't this be neat?" phase.

For me there are certain FF-DQ games that never get discussed because of not being popular, and every general will shallow them.

Other than that, maybe Pokemon. From time to time you see big threads, maybe there are better boards to discuss the game. And of course Ultima.

>guy works on games for a living

Yeah, I think he's a piece of shit. Don't forget he tried added his own board without asking at that game con but it ended up freezing. It's fucking fishy.

>Don't forget he tried added his own board without asking at that game con but it ended up freezing.
Didn't the documentary explicitly say they'd be bringing their own boards and their own controls?

>>3678287
I think they said it was optional. I remember the main guy bringing his own joystick setup but I don't remember him bringing his own board. Who knows tho. They always shoot these documentaries with some kind of angle.
