Was there ever a better ad campaign than this?

No.

In terms of just effectiveness, I would have to say the Wii's ad campaign has been the best. That console's opening year was like a revolution.

Well, Japan seems to be the only country where the thing actually did well, so it seems like it was pretty fucking effective. Not to mention the meme status it not has in the west, it's very memorable.

How mainstream is too mainstream? If I were to recommend Terminal Velocity, a game fairly popular in the 90's but not well known anymore would that be not hipster enough?

Anyone else have this terrible compulsion to buy games brand new factory sealed just to unwrap and play them? I feel like buying used is cheap and disgusting. Getting a second-hand product in less than mint condition is extremely unappealing to me. But this is costing a fortune, and I definitely won't be able to buy brand new games and systems for SNES, NES, N64, GameBoy Color, etc.
Does anyone else know this feel?

op will never know the feeling of digging through boxes and piles of junk in the attic for hours only to find that loose nes cart with your dead fathers last name printed in sharpie on the back slightly faded but still legible and covet it like the holy grail simply because you recall playing it with your family 20+ years ago and sliding it into your console and having it still work. fuck you sir, loose carts are great.

I'm inviting some friends over tonight for a mini games tourney. We usually have one every few months and our games list is more or less:
Mario party 2
Mario Kart 64
Crash Team Racing
Crash Bash
Bomberman 64
Super Smash Bros. 64
Goldeneye
But I'm always looking for something new. Any good retro games to play with friends along with a few alcoholic beverages?

If you enjoy unforgiving rogulikes with RPG elements, then you're probably going to enjoy Fatal Labyrinth (Mega Drive / Genesis).
It's backstory is pretty cliche (ancient evil who awakened, etc) but i sincerely like the simplicity of the story.
Each floor inside the castle is dark at first, and there are corridors, but as you walk these corridors they will be lit up, and there are rooms, once you step into a tile the room will be fully illuminated, inside the rooms is where stuff happens because it is where the monsters and items are.
There are weapons, helmets, armors, shields, magic scrolls, magic rings and bows, and THIS IS WHERE THE GAME GETS HARDCORE:
Each floor is completely randomly generated, the monsters, items and rooms are all random everytime you step into a new floor
You can only see the attack and defense value of equipment once you wear them
Equipment doesn't last forever, can be broken by creatures and some weapons are cursed, though rare
There are many types of magic scrolls and rings with varying effects and powers, some can destroy creatures, boost your status or curse you and you can't possibly know what one type does unless you use it, if you try getting "info" on a scroll or ring that you never used before it'll say "????"
Some monsters can cast spells and attack from afar, if some creature casts sleep on you and you get swarmed, say goodbye
There are no save points, if you die you have to start everything over, there are 30 floors plus the final boss atop the castle
The game is turn based and walking, attacking or using/discarding an item will advance turns.
On top of it all, you also need to eat food you find inside the castle or your hp will start to drop, but if you each too much you'll get slowed down.
It's a fun game once you understand what you're doing, but it is VERY difficult, so try it out when you have time, or don't.

Thanks for the rundown. Sounds fun.

it's a fun game and worth a try for those who like roguelikes. there's also a somewhat-sequel on Game Gear called Dragon Crystal that's very similar.

Without mentioning visuals or music, what sort of argument would /vr/ pick in order to sustain the 16-bit Castle of Illusion as the superior game in comparison to the 8-bit version?

They're different games? Actually, I never played Castle of Illusion on SMS, but I played and enjoyed Land of Illusion on GG.
>>
More time money and effort probably went into it since it was intended as one of the killer apps for the companies flagship product. While the 8 bit version was put out as a game to get some extra quids form Brazillians and Europoors who had Master System IIs.
Not that I've ever played the 8-bit version, for all I know it could be better.
>>
>>3390182
Didn't even know there was an 8-bit version. However the Mega Drive game was one of my first along Sonic 1 when I was a little kid.
The remake is phenomenal, by the way. I don't understand why they ever decided to remake it but it's a beautiful game.

God Policenauts sucks! It's like a really bad Visual Novel. And I don't know, seriously, VN are like the easiest thing in the world to design. So when you design a bad one, that is remarkable.
Like the entire story of Policenaughts is not only a pixel hunt, but you basically have to try everything, and then try everything multiple times. So if you don't know this, like if you want to know about some photograph, you ask about the photograph, and she tells you something, and then you have to ask the same topic again. So that photograph entry can occur 3 or 4 times. And then you have to start from the beginning and try them all again because the third time might have opened something new up. And you have to exhaust every single option. ALL OF THEM. Before the game will let you move on. That is HORRIBLE.
It's not like an oldschool adventure game. Because in an adventure game you don't have to look at and inspect everything on the screen multiple times. You're just sitting there, desperately wanting to move on with the plot, and then you're stuck trying to inspect every little thing over and over again, and asking people the same questions over and over again. Ah it's bad. And when it finally gets exciting, it gets exciting for 20 seconds then you're right back at it.
Is the plot interesting? Not really. You know what the story is? It is 5% Blade Runner, 95% Lethal Weapon. It's straight up Riggs and Murtaugh. It's not even subtle. He rips off whole scenes. It's amazing.

>It's not like an oldschool adventure game. Because in an adventure game you don't have to look at and inspect everything on the screen multiple times.
This was actually pretty standard for Japanese Adventure games of its time, really.
>>
Ye I agree it is pretty bad. I tried playing it right after Snatcher and my god was it a let down.
Made it to the screen where you meet Meryl and two other dudes and just quit over how monotonous and boring the whole thing was and realised the direction the game was going. A shame coz the opening scene imo was pretty damn good.
Why haven't you beaten this game yet? It's a part of gaming history, and a beautifully written adventure few other games can match.

Nah, you just need that weed to not get depressed enough to stay there forever.
But I agree, fuck Zork and fuck Return to Zork in particular. Fuck the floppy version most of all, but the CD version is still fucked.
