If you still read this board, I can tell you it's one of the Mighty Math games. Not sure what the exact name is, though.

Was an Amiga game, was called wax something, forgot

The title screen was an orange-yellow title on a black background. Was a dungeon crawler too. What stuck with me is that every time you die, the music changes into something ominous (changes for every map) and you see a dead picture of your player with a "Try again?" thing. I remember a cutscene where you were in England and they wanted to hang you, and there was a pic of the player hung on a black backdrop.

On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate your pain?

I'm actually somewhat interested. Most of the people involved with the production have quite a pedigree. Yes I know it's probably going to do shit and I have plenty of my own doubts. My wishlist for this thing is that it's open so I can put my own emulators and such on it if I so desire (seems like it will), have at least some level of internet connectivity (mainly for software purposes- shitty android devs, for example, are more likely to flock to it if it's got some sort of Android compatibility or a way to download games off the web? I don't know man. Just having android-type games run easy on this thing would be gr8), run decently and be easy to record. Shit, the price is even acceptable.

Yeah, I'm mostly intending to use it as a better Retron 5. For $150 they could easily make some sort of much more powerful Android dealy so the hardware is going to be less efficient than it could be but that's fine, it doesn't need to be high end. I think it has some sort of ARM chip on it. And maybe it'll have internet connectivity.

Need reviews of classic RPGs Anonymous 09/27/16 (Tue) 09:17:21 No.4688 [Open thread]

So, I've been working on this CRPG Book Project since 2014.

It's a non-profit, free guide into RPG history, written by fans, modders and devs alike - including people like Scorpia and Chris Avellone.

Pic above is the review for Daggerfall, written by the developer of Age of Decadence. So far we've got 380 pages done, covering over 200 RPGs - you can download the latest release it here: https://crpgbook.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/crpg_book_preview_4a.pdf

But we still need reviews on a bunch of RPGs, like the Krynn trilogy, Ultima III, Hard Nova, Wizard's Crown, Might & Magic III, Heimdall, Unreal World, Black Crypt, StoneKeep, Nox, Siege of Avalon, etc…

Anyone here interested in helping out?

What's retro and what is not here? Anonymous 09/20/14 (Sat) 19:21:46 No.23 [Open thread][Last50 Posts]

That's my question.

The 4chan /vr/ is a fantastic place, but the only thing I dislike is the eternal discussion of what's retro and what is not.

In my opinion, discontinued hardware is retro, that includes PS2, Gamecube, Dreamcast…

What is not retro? Current Generation and the inmediately preceding one, even if the hardware is discontinued. That's why Wii is still not retro.

What do you think?

386SX PC, Amiga 500, and older computers

NES

Sega Genesis

So pretty much the stuff you'd be able to find in the very early 90's and prior, and where pic was a good example of cutting-edge 3D.

>Anything prior to 2003, and anything on the Dreamcast or GBA regardless of year, according to the Board Owner

I'm the new board owner. I'm personally in the (unfortunately small) camp that believes "retro" really and truly means pre-NES/SMS stuff like Atari games, Colecovision, Pong Consoles, 70's/early 80's Arcade games like iRobot, Sinistar and Space Invaders, Vectrex, VIC-20, C64 and stuff. Of course when we say we're talking about "retro games" a lot of people mean Nintendo games, some mean 16-bit stuff and others pretty much everything before the 6th gen. The 6th gen really is the first "modern" generation (excluding the Dreamcast) but it was a great time for video games because all these companies were experimenting with this cutting edge hardware, and it was still possible to make games without fuckhuge multi-million dollar budgets (and technically it still is possible but the current slew of wham-bam-thank-you-mayam investors we have in this fucked up system don't believe in long term investments anymore, nor do they want to take risks nowadays)

Of course pre-1985 stuff is not what we exclusively come here for because MOST people who like "retro" games mean differently despite the literal definition. I personally love talking about Japanese home computers, SEGA consoles, arcade games and stuff that falls into similar categories, but I enjoy the broad topic of this stuff in general. In the sense of /vr/ terms defining "retro", I do believe the Dreamcast should be considered retro because it was the end of an era. It was the time where arcades/arcade games drew their final breath, and the platform as a whole was really ambitious. The Dreamcast gave us a very bright look into the future of video games that unfortunately died along with the console. Its it's own special period, like the apex of all the things we collectively love about 20th century video games even if it's not necessarily the best console of it's era.

I don't believe that anything afterwards should be considered retro ever because of how different the world of games was in the 20th century as opposed to the modern industry. However I do find early 6th gen discussion acceptable since it'sPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Holy shit, has anyone here seen this?!

20 years later someone finally broke the copy protection.

That's actually cool, I'm still swap-tricking mine to this day although I have the 4meg action replay cart.

I've tried it. Uninstalled it later since I you lose the action replay's functions and I have a mod chip anyway.

>actually having a working cartridge slot

modchips are better anyway.

I hear the cartridge slot dies easily on non-sega made carts, if you just leave it in there it'll be fine.

Official memcards can kill it just as fast. It's very cheaply made.

Freakin' Funky Fuzzballs is a DOS action/puzzle game in which you search for keys to progress while evading a monster following you around. The soundtrack is pretty catchy for its time, too.

It's damn near impossible to find online though. Every copy seems to have the anti-piracy system bypassed, but not solved, so it's impossible to play more than 3 or 4 levels before it force-quits, so I went and found a physical copy and uploaded it. As far as I can tell, this version doesn't have any copy protection at all, but I haven't played all the way through to find out for sure.

I found these in the street.The guy wanted $5 for each but I gave him $5 for both.

They work damn well except for the analog sticks. One has a stuck left analog and the other has a dead right analog and a random left analog.

So I need to replace at least three of them.

Is that even posible? Are the parte being sold anywhere?

Maybe in the future 3D printing will be able to re-create parts for us.

I took this cheap ass original Xbakws contrailer apart once beacuase the right analog stick was funky and just carefully superglued the metal pointy thing onto the rubbery stick inside and that worked great.

TL;DR; take it apart, work your brain, fix it.

That sounds fine, but not really my style.

I'll do it if there are no parts being sold.

Post your arcade favorites and why Anonymous 10/30/15 (Fri) 11:46:09 No.4143 [Open thread]

I don't see too many arcade posts, so I thought I'd start a thread honoring our favorite arcade games. What are some of your favorites and why?

Here are a few that I still play on MAME from time to time:

1. Crystal Castles - I was fascinated by games that looked 3d and I also enjoyed using trackballs. Marble Madness was another good one of this kind.

2. Gauntlet - Being able to play with three other people was novel at the time. I was so obsessed with this game that I got left behind during day camp at a pizza parlor and I had to call the head counselor to get me. The manager gave me free tokens while I waited so it was a win-win. The Elf and the Valkyrie were my favorites.

3. Street Fighter 2 - It wasn't easy to get in a game because it was so popular, but I played it anywhere I found it. Circus Circus in Vegas had the Turbo version that was my favorite. I played Blanka and Ken the most.

4. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - It was a really great 4-player beat-'em-up. Since I was a dumb kid I asked for the NES version thinking that it would be like the arcade, but I was sorely disappointed.

5. Ghosts n' Goblins - This was the first horror-themed game I ever played and it was hard as hell. I loved the NES version, too, though the sprites would flicker in certain areas.

6. Joust - This game seems ageless because it's just as fun now as it was when I first played it. The NES version was a pretty good port and I have a somewhat rare Atari Lynx cartridge of it too. It was my first experience with a physics-based game.

7. Space Invaders - This is the oldest game that I enjoy. I loved it so much that I created a paper collage in high school art class that recreated the game screen with color gradients.

8. Arkanoid - You could find a lot of cocktail cabinet versions of this game. It's my favorite Breakout-type game, though I wasn't able to beat it until I bought the NES vePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I think I rented T2 for the NES and it was pretty good. This was the one that Ocean released, correct?

I liked the Midway arcade version also and I think they ported a version for the SNES too.

lol when they first came out I went through three of them within two years. Only console I ever bought a Best Buy warranty for, I still have my fourth one around I bought sometime in 2004ish. It barely works.

Lots of games I like, but what a piece of garbage.

See, I was a Dreamcastfag and didn't pick one up until years later. Loadsagaems and bypassed the bricked earlier consoles - that worked out much better than expected! SEGA collapsing face-first in a puddle of its own sick was a minor trade-off at that point.

Tron: As a young kid, I couldn't resist the blue-light joystick. It was badass.

Final Fight: Nobody else at the time (it seems) knew you could pile drive people with Haggar.

Karate Champ: I wasn't sitting in the corner stacking buckets repeating "California" to myself but I remember being less than 8 years old and knowing how the control scheme worked.

Crime Fighters, Double Dragon II, Operation Wolf, P.O.W.: While my mother shopped for groceries, I had to make 2 quarters go a long way. I was pretty good at Crime Fighters and P.O.W, though.

Galaxian, in part because it was the one I was addicted to back in the old days when my uncle had a bar with some early arcade games.

Also love me some Defender, Arkanoid, Pengo, Marble Madness, Gauntlet, and Ghouls 'n Ghosts.

Discuss retro fighting games from Street Fighter II to Marvel vs. Capcom 2. I also have a mains chart if any of you have any mains in fighting games.
