just got a cheap thrustmaster ferrari red legend, it's surprisingly good to play MAME (Virtua Racing and Super Monaco GP are my favourites), DOS titles like TNFS and emulate the Negcon in epsxe

I've just got a Thrustmaster TMX Pro but after playing around and finding it awkward to use on my crummy setup I decided to order a Wheel Stand Pro Deluxe V2.

Been playing a little Dirt Rally which is heaps of fun. I can't wait for the stand to arrive.

I got a Xbox 360 Force Feedback Wheel. Has anyone patched any of those MAME games to take advantage of the force feedback? I feel some games simulated the road and wheels pushing back against the way you're turning.

I never beat the SP campaigns from either Arms or Core and it's been a long time since I've played it in multiplayer but it's alright for a RTS from the 90s. I like playing with robots and I thought the storytelling right before you started a mission was immersive enough. Gameplay is kinda like Command & Conquer and Dune 2000 so and AFAIK there shouldn't be (many) compatibility problems so if you're fine with all of those you could pick it up during a sale or something. It's also on GOG by the way.

Played it a bit. Found it kinda boring compared to Starcraft 1 and never got used to the game mechanics.

>>4183182
for old games like this, is it better to go with gog over steam?

>>4182935
I've only played cd out of the two and yeah it's a mess

I couldn't get through Chaotix as a kid because of how boring it was compared to regular Sonic games.

Chaotix isn't even a finished game.

>>4182890
I'd keep it. Never seen one of those before. I also had a good time googling Dick Smith.

>>4182864
Why? Because an experienced team worked really hard on it.

it's not. people just act like it because of the music and decent graphics

>>4182869
what's better?

Other than that it was pretty fucking good desu

Why do people jizz their pants over Hydrocity so much though?

>>4182421
It's simple: It's the only good water level in a Sonic game (or at least it's the only one where going underwater is actually fun).

Need I say more?

Valkyria Chronicles series PSP (PSN)
Xenogears PS1 (PSN).
Isn't the Megaman Battle Network series tac-rpg too?

just ignore it. He seems fucking autistic with his list. He's got like 25 games on that list which says he 'plans to get'. And yet he still needs more.

>>4182459
Shit. How'd I miss that plan part.
>muh spectacles

Didn't someone induce a price spike for Rampart on GameBoy? I remember he told the CUPodcast about it.

>but that's just on eBay!
>implying that your average brick and mortar store, craigslist, and forum sellers don't consult eBay sales for pricing. Also Pricecharting.com

>>4182345
Give me one reason why retro stores shouldn't price with eBay?

>>4182350
people actually might buy their inventory thats been sitting on the shelf for 2 years

I still play MUDs religiously, specifically Armageddon. It's still very active and more interactive than any game with graphics ever will be.

I still play Discworld MUD on occasion. Its fantastic if you like to read Terry Pratchett stuff.

>>4182275
I played dragon realms on all for a couple months back in the day.
Last I checked they were still around.
Barrier to entry is pretty intense. Everyone has a zillion unique items and don't hangout in the low level areas.

People are pretty nice though. A guy stopped me and gave me a nice weapon because I was a new (tried a trial a few years ago)

My old character name and my 'rp' makes me want to drink poison like the bird from that comic.

Why in the fuck is minsc considered a ranger? Has anyone in the history of BG ever used a god damn bow on him? Also how does his lore even fit him being a ranger.

Can someone explain to someone who's never seriously played a fallout game (aside from dicking around in 3 and new vegas) what's so great about Fo2? I wanted to play it, but couldn't get past the beginning part, the fighting is so fucking clunky, does the fighting stay that clunky? I wish it was more like BG's battle system.

but anyways, whats the appeal? Why is it considered one of the best CRPGs?

Too bad we're not allowed to discuss true retro CRPGs like ToEE here

I listen to a lot of deep house when I play Phantasy Star Online for hours

Did someone say real time strategy?play starcraft my friend

I don't think there's anything quite like Pikmin.
RTS games are actually nothing like it. Maybe Worms and Lemmings? But they're still turn-based.

Sim ant?

Yes, and it's worth it. The grip complaint is overblown I think, because the two I have grip only slightly harder than a top loader.

Most things that fix the cartridge slot make it harder to remove cartridges.

Nearly a decade ago, I completely replaced the pin reader in my NES, and cartridges were much, much tougher to remove. But hey, no more cartridge read errors / blinking light / whatever else.

>>4180448
The grip is tighter but how often do you have to switch games for it to be a problem?
