They're right. Your thread is low effort template shit

Checking

Most 2d games - particularly the sonic ones. Final Fantasy IX.

>>14557839

nah

>>14557926

>>14557908

You're right, 2D SNES/GBA colorful games tend to age like fine wine because the artstyle is classic and never gets old.

>>14557828

How play on windows 8.1? :(

>>14558116

Do you have a problem making it run on 8.1?

>>14557921

Awesome social media maymay, faggot

Age of Empires 2. Sadly the first one hasn't aged nearly as well, mostly due to pathfinding and a lack of quality of life features such as villagers not autogathering once they finish building a resource drop off point.

>>14558179

I had the fatal string error before and couldn't find a solution. I remember trying (installing and running the game) multiple times on different occasions with each compatibility mode setting and never getting it to work. All I did this time was switch to windows 95 compatibility and Run as Admin and it works. Thanks for your help. I wouldn't have tried again if your post didn't imply someone out the was running it on 8.1.

>>14558272

I was gonna ask if it were the colors looking like shit on 8.1 like that issue with Blizzard games.

That's because it's a known culprit that Explorer causes it.

People had to shut it down so that the color would look normal.

>>14557828

Pratically the entire SNES, Genesis and GBA libraries aged like fine wine, expecially the Genesis imho.

Let's talk about games that aged like dogshit instead:

I was replaying mafia 1 recently and while the driving mechanics are still fine, the gunplay feels absolutely horrible by today's standards. I also noticed this is a problem for most early 2000s Third Person Shooters.

Fucking right. Still play Doom a few times a month (Zandronum multiplayer), it's great.

Is this like metabait, where the bait post is actually the post accusing the other of being bait?

That's the case 95% of the time when bait is thrown around

>>14558301

Too bad Freespace is unplayable without a fucking flight sim hardware.

Dark Souls is the jalapeno casserole of fine dining.

>>14558813

I take it that the HD remakes are shit?

just asking because I was planning to give the games another playthrough

>>14559319

Maybe if you like having to pick up and move your mouse repeatedly while trying to tail some agile alien bastard.

>>14557871

Damn Far Cry looks comfy

Too bad I don't like FPS

>>14559203

Try 99.99%

No one puts "bait" in their own posts because they actually want to be taken seriously to get the (You)s

Why would you use a KB&M when a flightstick feels so much better to play the game with? What kind of class A pleb are you?

>>14562435

The game has dozens of keybinds, of course i'll use my kb+m. Never owned a flightstick in my life, and probably never will.

>>14560090

The first one's Age of Wonders, it says right there in the filename.

The second one is Call of Duty 1 I think.

The third is Zanzarah as it also says in the filename.

The last is some rainbow six game.

>>14562440

Let the airforce know that they could get more combat effectiveness out of their pilots by switching. This could be huge!

>>14562459

>Kill yourself.

This from the pleb using M&KB to play flight sims. I'm dying.

>>14562450

Its not. Its the right one.

>>14562450

who says your wrong?

originally i hated tiberian sun because the first time i played it, the computer beat me in 3 seconds. years later i found out my computer clock speed was too fast and i didn't know you could lower the gamespeed in the menu, i played it and absolutely loved it.

>>14558317

>>14558917

If you setup a lot of these old first-person shooters to have the controls as follows

>FORWARD - W

>BACK - S

>TURN LEFT - LEFT (Arrow keys)

>TURN RIGHT - RIGHT

>STRAFE LEFT - A

>STRAFE RIGHT - D

>FIRE - SPACE

>RUN - SHIFT

>USE - E

You'll be amazed how well they play even by today's standards.

>>14562532

Oh fuck yeah, this game is great.

My only issue is how if you deal with a country a lot, their quality of life random dips massively. I remember I kept improving my diplomatic ties with Japan and eventually I noticed their quality of life was at 57%, does anybody know what this happens?

>>14562532

look up samson option.

>>14562551

That's not really important information when there's nobody left alive in the entire region to retaliate.

>>14562544

You do use the mouse, right?

>>14562556

Only if you're playing the modern versions, mouselook was dogshit on the original versions of most of these games, Doom especially.

>>14562556

I take it you've never played Doom on DOS?

>>14562563

If you stick to horizontal mouse movelook it's good enough for most stuff I've played.

>>14562566

Anon, I'm 23. The only experience with DOS I have is through DOSBox

>>14562554

nuclear weapons are automatic, if a nuclear weapon is launched anyone in the world can immediately know its coming and retaliate before its launched.

>>14562591

>>14562410

There is a big difference between using proper joystick and mouse with fully cranked sensitivity. Me and my friend specifically played Freespace 2, I had mouse, buddy had basic joystick. He had no prior experience playing FS, but had played other flight sims, while I knew how the game works. I managed to beat him at the start but once he learned the ropes, he started get upper hand eventually. Not to say mouse isn't good, but there is a world of difference between that and a joystick.

>>14562676

>nuclear weapons are automatic, and teleport right to their targets, and create gold shitting leprechauns when they detonate

You're the one living in a fantasy world.

>>14562688

Well, yeah, there's a difference, but a flightstick isn't something you NEED to play and enjoy Freespace.

>>14562450

I think RA2 plays better but TibSun has a really great setting and aesthetic. It's the height of the Tiberium trilogy.

>>14563174

Why do disc throwers have to suck though?

>>14563384

because using them effectively means some micromanaging with their attacks

>>14557828

How did RA2 age well? It only looks good because all the other RTS games suck dick.

>>14559787

Generally the 2000's were pretty fun times.

>>14563439

>micromanaging with their attacks

Exactly how do I anticipate that my discs will bounce uselessly over the target and end up exploding on the terrain behind it in the middle of a heated battle?

>>14563462

>one side of the hegelian dialectic is better than the other

Being under a globalist army is about as appealing to me as being under a technological cult that forcibly mutilates and or mutates its citizens

>>14563543

I like how C&C doesn't really have "good guys" and "bad guys".

Whoever you play as are the "good guys".

This is especially true for the Tiberium universe, but I think we can all agree that Soviets are the bad guys in RA1.

>>14563569

I'd argue that both GDI and Nod were within acceptable limits of "good" in TD, but in TS both went into nightmare territory. I oppose the globalism of GDI in TD, but I also oppose the sheer propaganda/sadism put forth by Nod (ironically a real life globalist tactic.)

The Soviets being bad in RA1 goes without saying. Too bad they're the only faction to play as on any map without water.

>>14563600

Soviets have submarines and Allies have destroyers, aren't they equal in terms of naval battle?

Soviets have air superiority, that is a given. But in RA2 the Allies have air superiority. Funny how that works.

>>14563639

>Soviets have submarines and Allies have destroyers, aren't they equal in terms of naval battle?

I was saying you play as Soviets on any map that doesn't have water, and allies on any map with water due to OP cruisers. That's pretty much the only thing the allies have any real advantage in as both their ground and air power are a joke.

>>14563707

but muh spies

>>14563543

>Exactly how do I anticipate that my discs will bounce uselessly over the target and end up exploding on the terrain behind it in the middle of a heated battle?

disc throwers mixed with other units are generally horde deterrents with lucky shots, and as far as i remember, they're effective against anything except air units and fast units. but since the discs don't explode unless they lost their momentum or unit, their range can be longer than usual, you can do with small squad of dt's some hit and run tactics, throw it right before on the ground, run away, rinse and repeat, you can thin enemy ranks well. paired with cliffs or hilly terrain, you can bombard enemy base farther. and in defensive purposes, you can put squad of dt's away from cliff and bombard enemies without getting hit. hence, you need to micromanage their actions.

Well, time to download it and check if it works with WINE

>>14559269

HD version is bloated and had years of game re-balances. The good part is that it has 3 fleshed-out expansion packs.

>>14565180

I think the original version is available as a budget game at retailers and online. Got my copy at Walmart a couple years ago. And torrents should be easy to find, you've got plenty of options.
