I remember a lot of coaxial hookups had a secondary coaxial port for something else to plug in. But that's all I know about.

It's not even worth playing any console before the NES.

You should be fine with daisy chaining them together. I've done this as a kid and it was fine. I never turned on more than one system at a time though. It seemed like a bad idea.

Millenial is a fucking buzzword that doesn't mean fuck other than "people younger than me and everything is all their fault and why aren't they buying the shit I want to sell them? PARTICIPATION TROPHIES."

>>3652347
I think that while /vr/'s rants are justified, they're blaming it on the wrong reason.

Some actually want to keep /vr/ an age-exclusive club. But the reality is, it's not that a different generation of people is inherently worse—it's just the public's mindset about gaming that changed in the recent years. This happened because in an environment of growing costs, publishers started targeting larger and larger auditories to break even and make profit. So gaming had been becoming less and less niche, and slowly drifting closer to lowest common denominator.

The comfy unspoken club that was niche gaming of 20th century was quickly overrun by perceived "normies" in far larger numbers, who started dictating what they wanted with their money. So needless to say the old gamers were endlessly annoyed, and they blamed it all on younger kids. And now they simply got a convenient buzzword to call them.

Yep, "Millennials" is just a buzzword, which isn't even understood by most; it's ironic it's used commonly on a board called "retro games", which actually talks about platforms and games which came out before 2000. But /vr/ is certainly not to blame for it: in general, every new word or term from "cloud" to "HD" ends up being distorted by media and masses.

>"Millennials" is just a buzzword

Millennial is pretty well defined and a more common name for Generation Y. Early millennials (born 77-86) grew up with different games and music than late millennial (1987-1996).

Due to the wide span of this generation you have the G1 transofrmers kids who grew up on NES and listened to Nirvana in high school, and you also the have the 90s kids who grew up on pokemon and listened to Linkin Park in their formative years. They are all millennials.

It is the post-millemnial (iGeneration) that is fuzzy at the moment. When people bitch about millennials online it is usually this age group that are erroneously being referred to. We used to call them "underage b&" but some of them are old enough to vote and shave now.

No. Activision and Ubisoft are.

They have a great line-up, but THE BEST has to go to pic related.

>>3652242
We already have a thread for this, you mong.

Use the catalog.

>>3652331
That's the first thing I did but I found none.

NES, Gameboy: Really good. No surprise.

Genesis: Also really good. Some games have noticeable issues but popular ones don't.

SNES: Good-ish. There are like, 5 different snes cores and I'm not sure which one is best. Typical games run fullspeed but games with chips either run slow or not at all. You can also find SNES VC injections for games without chips (n3ds only.)

GBA: Use ambassidor injections. Runs perfect, like a GBA flashcart. One of the retroarch cores runs fullspeed but has an intrusive line on the top of the screen for every game.

PS1: Slow. Don't bother.

N64: Doesn't exist.

i personally find it amazing, i completed it and had a lot of fun

>>3652207

shit.

>>3652207
i got bored some time after finding the bow wolf.

the start was nice but then it started to feel aimless

you also walk at sluggo speed. Graphically and musically its great, will try it again some day.

For free? Sure, if you can pick it up.

Worst case scenario you'll have either a new project, a conversation piece or trash for someone else to make use of.

Yes.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity anon

Put that shit right in your living room

thanks guys!

>Mega Drive 3
Slam dunk it in the trash my man
>Modded Snes mini vs Original
Depends my man. The Mini has a much clearer picture once modded but has graphical glitches in some games. What are you playing it on?

Stick then cable in your butt then fart really hard.

what went right?

Roll a druid with highest strenght you possibly can (close to 30) so you can carry a lot more items later.

Pick swords as your main weapon skill since even daggers work with it and you start with a dagger.

>>3651710
You can get decent swords, axes and maces at pretty much any point in the game. Missile weapons aren't that great since ammunition is troublesome and you need a minimum distance. Not to mention accounting for ballistics on longer ranges. Unarmed isn't useful at all.
Concentrate on one weapon skill. It combines with your attack and defense skills to determine your overall combat capabilities.

Most of the non-combat, non-magic skills aren't needed. Acrobatics can help lessen falling damage but you don't need more than a few points in it.
You only get a limited amount of skillpoints so think twice where to invest them, in particular the initial general purpose runewords are fairly random in their results and shouldn't be used excessively.

That being said you don't really need to min-max. The game is completable even with minimal strength and without save scumming for every skillup.
As always: read the manual and don't carelessly attack creatures unless they are hostile. Don't move stuff that belongs to others.

>>3651710
This does make the game a bit of easy mode, but for a first play thru when you're still figuring shit out like puzzles and what not, its not a bad idea.

I'd say go this route, and if you like the game enough try other buids.

>>3651580
Cool ad.

But no, I played Vampire savior a lot when I still had my laptop. Some really strong players still go in there weekly, I miss it.

I used to play Third Strike competitively. Used to, now I'm terrible.

I used to play a lot of Super Turbo and KOF98, also a bit of Vsav and Karnov's

Is there any sort of coordinated /vr/ FC group or events? That would be a good way to get back into it and new players could learn that way too

OP here, I'm aware of the wikipedia list. I just find it more fun to have your input in this show

If you do not play some this I will personally come over there and headbutt you.

Play intelligent qube. It's a fun puzzler with some dark and eerie overtones. The soundtrack is fully orchestrated bliss though

So the level color has a meaning, huh

CRTs are too fat and take up too much space and they smell bad. Throw it in a dumpster where it belongs with all video games as well.

Konami. Super Probotector, or whatever it was called in non-PAL land, was never really beaten by anything Treasure did.

Konami died

Run 'n guns: Konami
shmups: Konami
beat 'em ups: Konami
platformers: Konami

gee i wonder

Well it's an N64 game, so...

Does that answer you're question?
