/v/ - Video Games

What kind of games do you like? I'll post some of my favorite Amiga stuff. This game was actually made on an Amiga 500.

Kind of Another World II, but not really. Also try Prince of Persia if you like these.

Good pinball game, the scrolling is super-smooth. Also try Pinball Fantasies.

This is a true classic! There were also some add-on level disks and later games.

Really good platform game, amazing graphics and sound too.

Another good platformer, hard as balls though. No matter how good you are, the game ajusts itself to your skill level.

>How about you just download a set of games

cuz I'm looking for the good ones.

>Couldn't you just look up a /v/ chart

to my knowledge we don't have a place where they are all uploaded, and the old wiki has been influenced with half /v/ taste.

>>15008472

basically anything except for board or card games that you could just play irl. Going through the Castlevania games at the moment.

>>15008515

that looks real nice. Gotta love those 80's colors.

One of the better shoot'em ups on Amiga. Battle Squadron and Xenon II are also worth looking into.

They made a few games in this series, all good stuff. Check out also The Chaos Engine, which has more of a steampunk theme.

This is essentially a 4-player Dungeon Master clone (although you can play alone too, but it's a lot more fun with at least on other player). The game is pretty amazing too. People used to stop by my room just to play this one.

I guess you probably already of this one. It was popular enough to get a bunch of add-on levels. There was a follow-up game called Worms: The Director's Cut that's supposed to be even better.

This game was magical for me, and it is kind of surreal in places. I used to stay up late at night playing in the dark. Some parts even made me cry, it's really that good.

Another top game that everyone should play. I never finished the sequel, got stuck at some point. Gonna have to load it up again one day!

Cute arcade game. If you like cute stuff, then this is the game for you! Also see: New Zealand Story, Bubble Bobble and its sequale (Rainbow Islands, Parasol Stars).

I'll go ahead and post the only chart I've got

Ideally you'd have a trackball to play this one with, but a mouse still works fine.

My favorite pac-man game. You can even jump over the monsters in this one!

They made a bunch of this Qix type games, but this here's the best IMO.

>>15008376

I accept that I suck dicks.

I got a couple for MSX. First is this cool platform/puzzle game simply called The Castle (by ASCII corporation). Castle Excellent is the sequel game. Piece 'a cake!

The Maze of Galious, aka Knightmare II. Another interesting platform game where you get to switch between two different characters with different abilities. The first Knightmare game was actually just a straight shoot'em up game, and it's not strictly necessary to play it first (unless you like shoot'em ups, of course).

This is Eggerland, a turn-based puzzle game with over 100 levels to beat. And if that's not enough, the game has two sequels! It was apparently called Adventures of Lolo on the NES. I don't know if there's any other differences.

Anyway that's all I know for MSX games.

Now I'll post some Amstrad CPC games, but the truth is these games were pretty much ported to all major 8-bit platform, so you can kind of run them on the one you want. However I actually played them on an Amstrad CPC and I can vouch for these actually being good ports.

This btw is Barbarian, by Palace Software. Good sword-fighting game for 1 or 2 players.

Boulder Dash. I guess if you haven't heard of this one, you've been living under a rock! (hehe)

The only annoying thing about these kind of games is the time limit, and if that bothers you then look into Repton instead (which was originally made for the BBC Micro).

Defend or Die. Really good Defender clone, smooth and fast. Probably the best shoot'em up on the CPC.

>>15009313

>BBC Micro

Bruce Lee, nice platform/collect'em up game where you have to avoid hazards and traps and also deal with the two bad guys who shadow you everywhere you go. If you play this in 2-player mode, the second player gets to get the green Yamo. In theory then it's supposed to be co-op, but you can still kick each other's asses if you really want to.

>>15009347

Depends on how the dude set it up, so ask him. My guess is it will either skip the duplicates, or stupidly overwrite them without checking.

>>15009375

BBC Micro was an early 8-bit computer related to the BBC TV station in the UK. So not at all what you had on your dirty mind!

They actually made some pretty decent games for it, but a lot of them were text adventures or very basic arcade games. Here's a decent platformer, which of course got ported to just about every other 8-bit computer.

Doom

Doom 2

Final Doom

Doom 64

>>15009417

Depends on the system, but a lot of them have TOSEC romsets on archive.org.

Back to Amstrad CPC. Here's MGT (Magnetik Tank), a nice exploration/puzzle game.

Do you like to watch your character die in interesting ways while you try to nagivate platforms? Then this is the game for you! It's not a very long game, so everyone should be able to finish it.

>>15009560

I forgot to mention, but Infernal Runner was an early game by Eric Chahi, the same guy who later on made Another World on the Amiga >>15008472

Anyway here's The Sacred Armour of Antiriad (named Rad Warrior on some other platforms). It's a decent platform/exploration game, kinda like Metroid, but not as long of a game.

Reminder that Raspberry Pi has been infected with SJWs, and you should use one of the various alternatives.

Please don't derail the thread to be about this, I just think people should know.

Good Mr. Do! clone with some jolly good tunes.

>>15009669

I don't think OP intentionally bought on, he got it as a gift. Regardless, that's something people should be aware before they make their purchase.

Well, I'm out of CPC stuff. I'm just going to post some odds and ends.

Here's Unicum, a breakout clone for the Atari 8-bit line (400, 800, XL, XE). It doesn't look like much, but plays nice and smooth.

Conan: Hall of Volta, good platform game. I played this at school on their Apple II's, but it was also ported to Commodore 64 and Atari 8-bit.

You can already tell what this is from the screenshot. Yep, if you liked Super Mario Bros, then this is your game. This is the Atari ST version, but it was also ported to C64, Amiga, MSX, and there's even a Nintendo DS homebrew version!

>>15009830

Also those guys got sued by Nintendo, and the games had to be removed from shops. Thus ended the future of SMB on those platforms, and they had to make do with just Donkey Kong and the older Mario Bros game that's a single screen arcade affair.

>raspberry shit

>its super inaccurate

>they over heat like a mother fucker

>more then half the games don't work

>shit political people who make them

>no optimization or customization at all

A old laptop are better then these pieces of garbage. Give it back and get better friends. That and or OP is a shill/faggot.

THERE ARE BETTER PRICE PER POWER SINGLE BOARD COMPUTERS THAN THE RASPBERRY PI

STOP BUYING RASPBERRY PIS

Power Blade (NES) is an action platformer where not-Arnold fights mechs with boomerangs. The enemies drops power ups that increase damage, reach and number of boomerangs simultaneously on screen.

Explore the level to get the key to the boss room and beat him to complete the levels. An old favorite of mine.

Eh, forgot to take out the embed! Ok now it should post the PDF.

Can we admit this place has a problem now? Post quality is only going down folks.

Even just 10 years ago I feel like tech companies would avoid doing any sort of blatant political pandering because they didn't want to risk pissing off any segment of the population that could potentially be customers. It's so weird how these organizations are openly telling potential customers to go fuck themselves with virtue signalling now. Like they don't need to worry about profits to stay afloat. SJWs may hate fucking white males, but they'll glad accept your money and then use it to further their efforts to ruin everything. I used to be able to ignore that kind of stuff but it's so blatant now that it pisses me off. My refusal to buy shit from SJW companies may not be enough to send them tumbling into bankruptcy, but I at least know that I didn't contribute to the spread of Marxism.

>>15011534

you don't have to follow it to a t, just see what peaks your interest and play those. Once you've played through what the wiki has to suggest, come here and ask for further suggestions.

>>15011539

I used to think SJWs were gommies, but I don't think so anymore… SJWs are different and possibly even worse than gommies IMHO.

SJ is more like a new secular priestly religion that let's you be a rich asshole aristocrat who pays pennies to your serfs and yet still be righteously indignant. They remind me of antebellum plantation owners who get the vapors and faint because you didn't follow social protocol.

I can definitely feel some. After filling it with some recommendations from the thread I tried a platformer and it just felt slightly off. I had a friend listen to the button press and the jump noise that occurred after and he said there was definitely a delay, though when I moved back to my pc he said the delay was even worse. It isn't horrible, but it's definitely there, though I almost wonder if it's because I'm playing on a HDTV. Either way I need every millisecond I can get when playing

You might be able to turn off vsync in the emulator's video configuration, or try a different emulator altogether.

USB has more latency than the old school I/O ports that were hardware interrupt-driven. Might be possible to rig something up on the Pi, since those boards have all kinds of pins for whatever you want to do. Maybe someone has already done this as a project (worth doing a web search to find out). For the PC, if you can find an old PCI Sounblaster or other sound card (and the necessary drivers for it), those often had a joystick port that was also interrupt-driven. On my first PC, I had an ISA bus Pro Audio Spectrum 16 with a joystick port, and there wasn't any lag whatsoever when playing games with a Gravis gamepad in DOS.

Street Rod is a lesser-known racing game.
