What games did they make?
>>
I used to have a Voodoo 3 3000
>>
I loved my Voodoo 2. Great company, wish they were still around.
I want to start playing the old AD&D games, I mean the Gold Box ones and their contemporaries. Basically anything pre-Baldur's Gate goes. Which games should I play? Which ones should I avoid? Are they difficult to get into?

Eye of the Beholder for the SNES, and Warriors of the Sun for the Genesis. The first one is your classic dungeon crawler, while the second one is an open world, Ultima type game.
>>
>>3331478
Didn't those games originally release for PC? Why go for console ports?
>>
Just play the Forgotten Realms gold box series in order:
Pool of Radiance
Curse of the Azure Bonds
Secret of the Silver Blades
Pools of Darkness
Make sure to get the adventurers journals and read them as you play.

Alien Soldier

>smooth as fucking hell
>the difficulty is spot on
>it's the perfect pick up and play
>incredible graphics even to this day
Contra Hard Corps and Mega Man X (if you consider it a run&gun, which I don't see why you wouldn't given there isn't much platforming compared to the NES ones) are my follow-ups

I hate the mine cart level
Even the boss

>>3331473
You mean Green, the one with 7 god damn forms when playing on expert mode?
Man that shit was really hard. But memorable as hell, and it felt so god damn good after finally beating him. Few bosses today that can replicate that feeling of satisfaction.

No sound glitches and I don't see misplaces textures and whatnot

Related, perhaps, was the oddity wherein my controller responded to the B button as Start, whilst the other keys did nothing.
Unplugging the machine remedied the issue, but was reproduced after an undetermined amount of time and game swaps.
No, Virginia, the paddle had Not been plugged in during operation.

thx m8
I wasn't able to find what game it was beacuse it's a homebrew
>>
There was once a standalone machine, it did not have any cartridge ports. It was shaped like a motorbiking helmet, and displayed some pretty smooth color vector art. I remembered the game was pretty fun. I think it may have been released prior to the 90s.

I'm having trouble with dosbox, it doesnt let me change the directory to my game folders, it keeps saying that c:\ already is the directory.

>>3328387
maybe it's already set to mount local C:\ as drive c: in dosbox.conf?

Look at the screenshot. It's a feudal Japanese themed Wizardry game.

What are some artistically experimental japanese retro games vr?
Bonus points if the game has an amazing experimental soundtrack.

If experimental Japanese games are your thing check out the Japanese ps1 library. During 5th and 6th gen the PS1 and PS2 received a lot of bizarre and "artistic" games. Most famous of these kind of games is LSD dream simulator by Osamo Sato, he developed a bunch of surreal experimental games.
For 4th gen check out live-a-live, gaia trilogy (soul blazer, illusion of gaia, terranigma), umihara kawase, and earthbound. All of these are snes/sfc games. Nothing experimental/artsy comes to mind for the genesis, moreof arcade like action games.
Hope this helps, also fuck you for reminding me we'll never get moon rpg remix translated.

Remember this, /vr/?
>tfw no translation
Let's see if this flies.
Classic series:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, Mega man and Bass (Rock man and Forte); 9, 10 (> not retro)
Pocket: Dr. Wily's Revenge, II, III, IV, V (GB), Mega Man (GG), Rockman & Forte: Challenger from the Future (WonderSwan JP Only), Rockman Battle & Fighters (Neo Geo Pocket Color)
Not cannon: Mega man X Street Fighter [fun]
Mods:
Required to play:
4 Minus Infinity: colossal work, from remixed music from different NES titles and enemies from different mega man games to levels and bosses that will make you sweat hype. There are slopes, ok!?
Ultimate: completely new game, may as well have been made by Capcom in 2012, difficulty level makes 9 seem like a walk on the piece of cake
7 FC and 8 FC: make 7 and 8 into 8 bit gold with 9 in mind. If you're wary of 8 (and there's not a whole bunch of reasons), play the demake
Suggested to play:
4 BCAS: another mod completely changing the game, making it faster and adding air slide
Claw: hard as fuck, but graphics is shitty in places
2 Ultra: since 2 is easy af
2 No Constancy
2: Deus Ex Machina
2: Function-9
In progress:
2.5D: the shit is gonna be huge
X series:
X1, X2, X3, X4; X5, X6, X7, X: Command Mission, X8
(Xtreme 1 and 2 on GBC)
Zero series:
Zero 1, Zero 2, Zero 3, Zero 4
Legends series (3D action/adventure):
Legends, The Misadventures of Tron Bonne, Legends 2
Battlenetwork series (real time RPG on GBA)
BN 1, BN Transmission (GC only), BN 2, BN3, BN4, BN5, BN6

FAQ:
> Where should I start?
>> 1, unless you're 16-babby in which case consider X. Make your way onward.
> Does 8 suck?
>> It's mediocre at the very best for a mega man game, but it's still a shitload of fun
> I have autism and can't play mish-mash mods like MI, are there any mods with integrity?
>> Ultimate should be your first choice, play MM X SF and perhaps BCAS as well
> Series aside from Classic and X worth playing?
>> Eh...
