Why was the Red Alert Soviet campaign so fucking awesome? Why were the mission briefing videos so fucking glorious?

I always felt like the soviets were easily the best and the allies were shit.

Probably more balanced than that but as a little kid that's how it was.

As for OP, because you were basically the bad guys so you could let all bad shit flow out guilt free.

This.

In RA1: Soviets > Allies. In RA2: Allies > Soviets.

>started my childhood playing RA2
>tried RA1 after seeing how many people apparently thought RA2 was a bastardization of the franchise
>find RA1 almost unplayable, and barely different from C&C1

Is there something wrong with me?

Recently in Argentina we had an unofficial revival of Hugo with the original host of the TV show from the 90s

Man, Hugo was such a staple of mid-90's Latin America.
I don't know a single sudaca who doesn't have at least one memory of it airing in that time frame.

Guys, please help me, I'm stuck! I'm doing something wrong. I can't make a big enough jump to jump over the ledge. What is the trick? This is literally 30 seconds into the game. I am desperate.

>>3446876
never played this game but you can try all the different jump styles of old games like.
holding the jump button down
running and jumping
holding up while jumping
holding down while jumping
pushing two buttons at the same time
>>
>>3446882
thank you but i tried all that already. since its msx maybe there is some special button i am missing ? like f1,f2,etc... (which i already tried). Or there is a trick! On youtube it looks really easy: It's the ledge @ 01:01 min https://youtu.be/U0tLZbhlzcs

Guys I finally found the trick...you have to destroy the egg sacks of the aliens after killing them to get upgrades!!

Why can I get any reasonably common 2600 game for $2-$5 but have to shell out $15+ for any mildly popular game on any other system?

I don't think it's demand, 2600 collecting has gotten pretty big over the last few years but the prices aren't rising at all. Is this the calm before the storm?

Also, are there any other /vr/ consoles that still have cheap games?

Because Atari games were so overproduced they literally became trash.
>>
>>3446607
PS1 and Master System are pretty cheap, from experience.

I don't see normies all of a sudden stepping over their mother to get a 2600 any time soon, same with PS1 and SMS. You should be good.

But it's usually something in pop culture like Pokemon Go or an e-celeb endorsement that shoots up prices. Then there's also stuff like gaming blogs writing articles about how underrated stuff like the Saturn/Dreamcast and Jaguar is (hence the higher than normal prices on them now, coupled with lower production).
>>
>>3447538
Popular PS1 games have gotten pretty pricey. Spyro and Crash games have almost reached the $50 mark where I live.

Does anyone have a copy of "The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers"? It includes the only known photo of Akira Kitamura, Mega Man's reclusive creator. The only verison of this image is here, and it's pretty crappy.

I backed the Kickstarter but the creator refunded my pledge because there was an issue with distributing the digital edition? The refund happened right before release, but every update I remember from the guy was full of drama about some translator woman wanting to ruin his life. While it might have been true, the book creator sounded insane in every update. Like this woman was going to sabotage him. The whole experience was awful and even though I'm sure the book is informative; I don't know if I want to give the guy any money after that.

Does anyone have any info on Konami's sound samples? A lot of their games had similar sounds in the 80s and 90s that made them distinctly Konami. Is there any info on them?

I don't know. But for further research, you can download some of them here.

Definitely used some Korg M1 samples.

Games that are virtually impossible without a walkthrough. I dont want anyone coming in here just to brag about "I beat that game when I was 5 blindfolded" you can go start your own thread.

This is for games that are so cryptic help is needed.

I managed as a kid to make it to the alien world through years of sheer trial and error but I could never get further than the screen with the falling cherry bombs. Even if I outran them to the next screen they would still blow up and I'd drop dead. I guess you have to shoot them but I could never get it in time.

I wish I hadn't given the game away since I did play it a lot but it really needed a map system or something. All I remember now is something about buying vitamins but I have no idea what each one was for.

I mostly played it when I was 8, and used the Nintendo Power issue as help, but if I had been older and had more presence of mind, I think I would have tried to graph out an accurate map of the underground, with treasure ranked as easy, medium and difficult to obtain (that one in the spikes underwater is fucking impossible).

The Blobonia section is a completely different kind of game that you're not even trained to play after the underground labyrinth.
>>
I don't think anyone managed to beat A boy and his Blob without help. How would people know about the switches they need to hit to avoid the death traps? Or getting to the final area? The game is more or less fair up until you go to Blobolonia, then it just stops trying to be fun.

Dragon Warrior/Quest 2 is guilty. Finding the crests without searching every fucking tile? Better have a walkthrough. Don't get me started on the Cave to Rhone.

Wizardry 4 is a contender. You need to have BEATEN previous games to be able to solve some of the puzzles in the game in order to win. Level 4 was the result of Sir-Tech saying "Just how fucked up of a level can we have?" Pic related:
>>3439289
Oh, and you have a limited number of steps you can take to beat the game. Because fuck first time players.

Pretty much any text adventure game.

Return to Ringworld has a really fucked up puzzle early in the game. The clue is buried in the encyclopedia in the game, which has pages and pages and pages worth of material just for lore reasons. It appears no different than the lore material. You could read through the entire encyclopedia and still not understand the answer, or know that the little bit of info WAS an answer to anything. Another puzzle involves traveling either north or south on the rim of the Ringworld. One way has an exit where you are supposed to go. The other way is endless road. There is no indication which is which. The game seems to keep track of how far you've traveled. You can travel at top speed for 30 minutes the wrong direction, and have to spend 30 minutes traveling back to check the other way, if you didn't know in advance that the exit is only 30-50 seconds travel away from the start point. I like the game but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
