maybe math games? they have calculators now that have games on them, but then again they are in japan. they probably came up with numbers to multiply or whatnot, and then check the answer on their calculator

I do recall playing some math games/activities with a calculator as a kid. I don't remember what exactly though.
There were some calculators that had games built in using the (numeric) display, but my memory places them in the early/mid 80s. Same era as the Game & Watch.

>>3348418

Yes, there were programmable calculators back then that even took magnetic cards sorta like a game cartridge. They looked like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TI-59_/_TI-58 So it probably wasn't what you think with the calculator in the pic, but close.

Satoru Iwata also got his start in programming by making games on his calculator. I think they were baseball games. They were very basic games, you wouldn't want on. Think of it as like a text adventure game but with numbers instead of text. So yeah, I imagine it was boring ass shit but that's what they had back then.

It's promising, up until near the end, when it just turns to shit. Can be fun with friends, but it actually makes it harder since you have to split loot.

The best Bitmap Brothers game is Gods.

I guess this was inspired by Alien Breed?

>and scrapping them for their IC chips, gold plated parts and silver contacts?
Socialist countries used very much gold, so after dissolution of the Soviet block old computers were entirely scrapped.
Bad fate.

Most retro stores worth their salt offer a repair service, if that's what you mean.

>>3347763
I do. Not on a massive scale but I've salvaged and repaired a few hundred consoles so far.

>>3347762
Did you mean Jog & Jab games?

Great game.

I just wish the cutscenes were skippable and the voice acting wasn't full of AIDS.

>>3347732
Just get an undub.

I really like the combat system but I got bored by the time I reached the fourth chapter. I didn't like the format of the game of having the time limit, going to one or two towns per chapter to recruit Einherjar, going to one or two dungeons per chapter to train party, etc. It's too rigid and repetitive.

I'm glad he got a surge of popularity recently thanks to that speed running event.

Let's hope pepsi notices.

I always loved the graphics on this. The mix of 3D environments and nicely drawn sprites. Are there any other games like this, except the obvious first person shootans?

Something with bright colorful graphics like in Pepsiman.

Yes, M&Ms The Lost Formula

I think Sonic games on Nintendo systems would be the biggest mindfuck

>>3347261
nevermind that they'd be appearing in the same games together.

>>3347261
>>3347306

Holy shit yes. If I could tell my early-mid 90s kid self this, he would be losing his god damned mind right after wondering where the fuck all my hair went

- Dragon's Fury / Devil Crash MD
- Streets of Rage (Any of them)
- Fightin' games (If you're into that)

You should probably get an EverDrive MD for ~$35-50 and just have the entire library.

Gunstar Heroes, Castlevania New Generation, Battletoads, Streets of Rage, Rocket Knight Adventures, Shinobi, Two Crude Dudes

$40 Chinese Everdrive to play the entire Genesis & Master System libraries.

Coolest shit ever. It was like Crash 1 with the level advancement mechanics tweaked. And jetpacks.

>>3346414
jetpacks make everything better

Ogre Battle

Well there's really only two, they're both good but I found Ogre Battle 64 to have better pacing and more interesting units. The original is a solid place to start, though. I've played the snes version, its supposedly faster than the psx port. PSX version does have some nice effects though.

If you want to go deeper into the world/story you can look at the Tactics Ogre games. Let Us Cling Together is the precursor to FF:Tactics and is an amazing strategy game. I haven't played the GBA game but I've heard its good. Just know that these games play more like FF:T and don't play like the main Ogre Battle games at all.

>>3346229
Ogre Battle 64, by a mile~
The one on the SNES is okay too.

>>3345859
Which one is Kun Laos?

>>3345859
No, they're an artifact of the Genesis' composite encoder which puts some jailbars in blue spots. I think it can be solved...for RGB at least.

Second from left in top row. I get black bars on solid colors like on the orange opening of recap attack. Anyone know what might cause it?

If you want to take it simple, Sega felt they are too powerful after Genesis.
But they weren't to support fails.

Bad decisions:

1) Building a 2D powerhouse for a 3D era
2) Bad marketing (no flagships at launch, etc)
3) Rushed release (overpriced, no flagships)
4) Withholding jap games from western market
5) Not wooing 3rd party devs

Having said all of that, I don't think ANY established videogame company could have withstood Sony's assault on the market, Sony were ON FIRE, they did absolutely everything right, the hardware, the software deals, the marketing... The only way Sega could have competed is by doing everything Sony did, six months before Sony did it.

Even if the Dreamcast was not killed Microsoft would still have entered the console market.

They felt threatened by Sony taking all the game developers away from windows PC.

Indifferent

I don't remember much about it. I think I actually played the demo for it more than the final game.

The taser was fun to mess around with, and the sniper shotgun is ridiculous. I think that thing shoots slugs.

Those are some rad pajama pants.

Personally I'm fond of old sticker collections, Merlin had some cool album collections like Super Mario and Street Fighter II.

>>3345204
How does this guy have the largest video game memorabilia collection without any Pokemon shit in sight?

The closest thing I even have to retro merch is a little figurine of Zelda 1 version of Link, and the 8-bit Mario Amiibo.

And I guess a Sonic plush that I thought was an ordinary classic Sonic plush, but as it turns out, it was a Sonic Underground plush that had it's guitar necklace removed before it was given to me.

I wish I still had some of the retro stuff I had as a kid. I had some Mario and Sonic Kid's Meal toys, a Super Mario Bros Lunch Box and Thermos, some T-shirts with a particularly vicious looking off-model Bowser popping out of a TV, some Mario coloring books, and comics.

Actually now that I think about it, I have an old Super Mario World graphic novel from before the N64 even launched, It's in really shitty condition because I was a dumb kid when I got it and I took it to school in my back pack alot.

I wish Nintendo would issue a reprint like they did for the Zelda comic, so I could get a new copy. It goes for unacceptable prices online as it is now.
