Here's somebody maxing the score out in Chopper Command on Game 3, Difficulty AA.

Phoenix is pretty cool, and it doesn't look like you have it. My personal faves are Centipede, Space Invaders, Donkey Kong, DK Jr, and Warlords. And yes, I actually love 2600 Donkey Kong, it's my favorite port. The port of DK Jr is generally more well regarded. All of the Star Wars games are worth a play if you like Star Wars.

Pitfall 2, Dark Chambers, HERO, Montezuma's Revenge, Ghost Manor, Supercharger

If you're expecting kids today to have the attention span for anything that doesn't constantly reward them, brace for disappointment.

There's a reason modern games suck and it's these spoiled little brats.

Genesis:
Gunstar Heroes
Streets of Rage 2
Golden Axe
Contra: Hard Corps (hard as balls)

SNES:
Super Bomberman
Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Super Smash TV (hard as balls)
Mario Kart

PSX:
Mortal Kombat Trilogy
Tekken 2
Future Cop LAPD
Crash Team Racing

I remember being like 5 and going to my aunts house for the first time (early 90's)

I had a nes and sega an snes at the time.
When they pulled out an atari and joust, I felt really weird. Like I shouldnt be there.


TLDR: atari is for cultists

So Atari thread anyone?

Anyone want to list some of the best 2600 games?

The one from Altered Beast will be always the best for me. It's so chill and nice that doesn't make you feel bad for losing

Specifically the kind that /vr/ accepts only or does that include non-/vr/ consoles too?

How about duplicates of the same system, or different revisions?

Only consoles, because there are great retro computers that play games too? Maybe even graphic calculator Tetris? What about the LCD games such as those from Nintendo's Game & Watch, Konami, or Tiger?

>>3330750
What if the most /vr/ console I have is a new famiclone?

>>3330750
>No Atari 5200
What a failure.

>>3330740
i want to play this

The Aerobiz games were very different

>>3330740
What if I choose Resist Coup?
The "Resign" choice means Game Over, I suppose.

Yes! This game.

There was a kick starter campaign for remake, but sadly it never pulled through.

Though I don't think this game needs a remake, it's still fun and replayability is high.

I always notice something new each time I play.

I think after second playthrough some of the maps will have snow theme. Only found out that last year

It's literally Team Fortress on SEGA
Except there is no hats

>Mega Man 7 is underrated meme

How did it start?

>>3330284

It probably started from the Mega Man 7 was bad meme. But how did that one start?

Have no real idea why people dislike 7 or 8 either for that matter. Both aren't nearly the best in the series or as good as the NES MM games but still fun to play..

The unskippable cutscenes and shit menus do bring 7 down a notch though

>PS2

Not retro, get out nigger.

>>3330235
ayy my man psone and Saturn used discs, peanut butter and plain tooth paste both work good make sure neither have shit in them good luck boss

>>3330264
This.

I thought this was a fucking joke at first. But smearing toothpaste over the disc definitely works.

not retro but any call of dewtee

>>3330218
I really can't think of any that are retro other than your own submission.

most games in the period are either foreign (and thus generally uncompromised, or even laughably incapable of portraying US politics) simple-plotted (e.g. missile command could be construed as anti-ABM propaganda because you eventually lose anyway, or it could be that it's just good fun), or else wouldn't be necessarily propaganda (e.g. wolfenstein 3D is clearly anti-nazism, but is it really propaganda?)

honestly, most date from post-retro periods:

>America's army
very obvious. it doesn't try to hide that fact though.

>Halo
not intended as such, but it recruited a lot of people, and it's plot about hostile religious zealots struck a chord post 9-11.


srsly can't think of any more though.

1. master system floppy disk drive prototype

3. rez vibrator attachment and then shove it up my ass

The Sega Pico is a babies system. You can't learn Japanese from it.

Actually buying and owning one/using one is pretty genuinely autistic, anon. It's a 90s toy for 5 year olds with little kids books.

>>3329860
Sonic's Gameworld looks better than some Sonic games. As a party game I'd play it over Sonic Shuffle based on the gameplay video I watched. The Tails game does sound autistic (literally) so I'm with you there. And looking into how it functions, it doesn't seem like the games actually tell a story so learning Japanese wouldn't be possible. But that just makes the games more accessible! The mystery of the Pico's library coupled with getting Sega games based off some of my favorite Bandai properties is what's appealing to me.

Asian carts came in some nice hardshell cases.

This is just Link to the Past 3D. Like, this game didn't do anything new or innovative, it didn't have amazing graphics, good plot, it just had solid gameplay and is extreme nostalgia bait.

Pic related, it pretty much codified 90% of shooter genre in fucking 1962. It invented the shooter genre understood as controlling a moving character, competitive multiplayer, physics system, advanced movement techniques (you can use gravity well to pull some tricks), shootemup and shooter genre as a whole, laid foundation for 'spaceship shooter' theme that is still popular to this day, and was arguably first hard-sci fi game ever made (since it was trying to simulate realistic space combat, more or less).

Also, you can actually play it on Steam in multiplayer, except it's installation is a secret - in "input product code" thing, put in

steam://install/480

And you get Spacewar.
