Bonus points if they can run in 60hz.
The Turrican series is GOAT.
Gonna be a short thread.

Only good thing to come of Europe.
Where does this meme come from? America has a way worse ratio of shitty/good retrogames, outside of the same memegames they constantly bring up you have to dig a lot to actually find something even slighly worth playing. Yes, you can laugh at the amiga europlatformers and call them shitty and generic, but the American alternatives where fucking Commander Keen, Dangerous Dave or Jazz Jackrabbit.
>>3470205
The Commodore versions are trash with fantastic music.
>>3470586
DMA/Rockstar and Psygnosis are also good.
Bonus points if you can beat this game at 60Hz
>>3470554
I literally came here to post this.
>>3470614
There are no good isometric platformers.
>>3470231
Sad truth is when America was shitting the bed and bankrupting its own industry Europe was having a great time making tons of games and inventing genres like the open world Sandbox and God sims
>>3470650
wrong
>>3470575
Those french motherfuckers actually blew my mind with this one, this game is perfect
>50hz
>Salad cream
>>3470837
Why is it that Americans think every game is designed to run at 60hz? Is it because they never had a good game industry so they assume everyone had to rely on Japan? Here's the thing, yank, we made our own games while you failed to run your own industry and had to eat Japan's scraps.
Why are you yanks so retarded?
>>3470937
60hz is 10hz faster than what you had. Europoors had no choice but to play their games in shitty slow-motion.
>>3470950
Are you retarded?
>>3470961
Are you?

every game is sonic in pardnerland
>>3470970
That's a Japanese game, you fucking retard. Why are Americans so stupid?
>>3470970
Stop it retard. I'm embarrassed as an American.
Sonic was unoptimized. A fuckton of PAL versions of games exist that aren't like that.
>>3470979
But we're not talking about Japanese games, we're talking about European games. That retard who posted Sonic was saying that European games were slowed down even though they were developed for PAL.
>>3470979
>muh optimization
Games are still just 50fps over in Yurop.
>>3470987
Does every game have to be in 60fps in order to be good?
>>3470987
So? European shit was made for it.
The only time it's an issue is >muh optimization
>"probotector"
>Castlevania "the new generation"
>50hz
Europoors had slower brains than the NTSC master race.
>>3471002
You do know that Japanese games weren't very popular, right?
>>3471002
I like how you got rekt so hard by the posts above that you had to stop responding to them and just resorted to blatant strawmen.
>thread about non-shitty eurogames
>derailed into PAL vs NTSC shitposting
Americans in charge of minding their own business, yet again.
>>3471005
Then why were OutRun and Sonic the Hedgehog so huge in Europe?
>>3471018
>Outrun
Arcade game. Ran at 60hz. The home ports were made by Europeans.
>Sonic the Hedgehog
I don't remember that being so huge. Maybe it was just big with children.
>>3471026
Guess you wouldn't have known about this happening since you're Australia-kun, huh?

Better than Super Misogyny Bros.
>>3471140
I can't tell if you're being facetious or just shitposting.
>>3471140
It is better than Mario. Much more interesting level design, far better music, and it controls better.
>>3471154
Up to you
>>3471052
Sonic 2 for Genesis sold over a million units in Europe. I'd say that's fairly popular. Can't find any figures for the Master System games, though. I heard those were more popular in Europe than the other regions.
>>3471179
There was no Genesis game machine in Europe.
>>3471193
Yeah there was, it just had a less cool name. Meagre Drive or something like that, right?
>>3471197
Is the Bible really considered to be 'cool' in America?
>>3471197
Yes, the Meagre drive, it often flickered and every 10 minutes (In the UK) it asked for your TV liscense code.
>>3471210
>>3471205
Without the Bible, western civilization wouldn't have become as great as it did.
>>3471214
Yes, if we didn't worship a dead kike on a stick for 1500 years we'd be living in mud huts like niggers. Good goy.

>>3470987
Signal frequency =/= Frame rate
>>3471396
Refresh rate bottlenecks the framerate.
Your game could be running at 9000 fps, but if it's on a 50hz screen, it will always be stuck at just 50 fps.
shithole
>>3471406
That's if the game uses v-sync, otherwise it will have no frame limit unless it's capped by the engine itself. Many old games had this, and it became a major problem as processors got faster.
>>3470610
Eurotrash detected!
Not sure where to ask, but this might be a good thread.
I found a copy of Thunder Force IV going for £12, it doesn't come in a box or manual, and it's also PAL.
Should I get it, is it worth it?
>>3471497
What year was it made?
>>3471523
It was released in PAL territories on December 1992 according to Wikipedia.
>>3471525
Should be fine, then. Sega only introduced cartridge region locking in 1993.

>>3471015
Why would a European ask what was popular in their region? They should already know.
>>3471573
I like Blue Byte just fine, but I really wish they'd actually translate some of their stuff. I swear to god, I hate getting into one of the Settlers or Anno games and having it switch to German on me periodically.
Does Australia count as European?
>>3470586

Some shitty islands. Sega made a Manx TT game.

Tax havens for rich people, mostly.
Of course, Estonia is only European in a geographic sense.

Psygnosis are responsible for Wipeout, that's the only thing that matters and redeems there.
>>3473743
>there
*them
>>3473743
The Wipeout games are just poor-man's F-Zero. Also they only run at like 20fps.
>>3473758
F-Zero doesn't have tight tracks, weapons, kick-ass soundtracks by renowned electronic musicians, or designs by the Designer's Republic.
>Also they only run at like 20fps
Only the PAL ones.
>>3470610
I'd rather play any of those than a vast majority of Amiga platformer games.
>>3473758
Extreme G series is better (and European too).
Gothic
Aliens vs Predator
Carmageddon
Battlefield
Croc
Divine Divinity
Driver
Fable
GTA
Hitman
Worms
Mafia
Max Payne
Rollercoast Tycoon 2
Serious Sam
Timesplitters
Star Wars Rogue Squadron
Stronghold
Really do Amerifats even try?
>>3473789
Croc? More like croc of shit.
>>3474008
Alone In The Dark.
Not only it pretty much invented survival horror as we knew it until the PS2 era, but it was also the first to come up with using 3D models within 2D pre-rendered backgrounds. This technique was a revolution and used during more than a decade, and not just for survival horror. Think of how even games like FF7/8/9 use it, and it's all owed to AITD.
>>3473652
No, just /v/ with retro games.
And no, it wasn't always like this.
>>3474134
So still better than /v/, which is just /b/ with the occassional FotM meme game thrown in.
>>3473765
>kick-ass soundtracks by renowned electronic musicians
Take out the "renowned" part and that phrase perfectly describes F-Zero's soundtracks.

Those are equally shitty and generic. America was good at the really early days, then pretty much faded to black up until late 90s. It's like a blind guy making fun of a one-eyed.
>>3476106
>N-no those count because I like them!
>>>/reddit/
>>3476845
You could have just said no.
>>3476845
I say they should count, since they both use PAL.
>>3476845
Canada does count as America. They're basically the same country.
>>3471572
>Cryo died along with adventure games
fitting
>>3477419
Canadia still obeys the Queen, so I wouldn't really lump them in with USA.
>>3477485
Their culture is exactly like America and nothing like the other Anglo countries. Canada may as well be a US state.
>>3477552
All first-world countries copied America's culture and innovations, though...
>>3477485
>Canadia still obeys the Queen
Aren't they half french too though? I imagine that would be a source of conflict
>>3477793
Not really. Britain and Australia share a culture that Americans and their hat can't even fathom.
>>3477824
The frenchies are mostly gathered in Quebec, which wants to be their own country but that'll never happen.

Despite being ostracized by the Church, Galileo remained a staunch Christian.
Shit on the Church all you want, but religion filled Man with inspiration.
