Oh shit, nice, someone else who knows that this game exists.

I played it sorta recently and it's a pretty neat point-and-click. I had to use a walkthrough for that puzzle near the end, though–you know the one. It was a huge difficulty spike in what is otherwise a pretty manageable game.

Mountain Laurel best girl

I love this game. It's one of my favorite. The humor and the voice acting is great, music better than the Titanic game that came out later. And that cheap bastard Rivera he even shows up in the Titanic. The only complaint I have about this game is the final puzzle. Seriously, fuck that puzzle.

This tbh.

DUST is one of the best adventure games ever made, as far as the characters go, but the ending is shit.

Yes, I used to have it on CD-ROM back in the day.

I still fire up SWOS when the gang gets together. Never met anyone who hated this game. Back in the nineties 8-16 player tourneys were the norm everywhere an Amiga could be located.

I pretty much hate all sports games and I remember liking it.

because most of the people who like retro games are insufferable faggots with ear gauges and purple hair

Smaller user base makes those people stand out more.

I find the opposite is true, niche interests don't make people bitter it's the mainstream that does. A lot of bitterness in my hobby comes from having quality taken away in order to appeal to people who clearly don't care.

I'll use /m/ as an example. Pre-Gurren lagann and Gundam 00 you saw a lot of discussion of older titles and the focus was on the story and the robots. Post these series you saw the shift become more more feminine in that it focused on the characters and ignored most of the setting. This really peaked when Build Fighters aired and the entire thread became circle jerking over the white haired girl and constant waifu posting. It got to the point where you went to the thread to see the cameos you couldn't recognise yourself and then ran away as fast as possible. The community became something completely different where the central focus became secondary to other things. At this point I've pretty much completely disengaged from the mecha community because there's no longer any focus on the stuff I like. I see the same stupid circle jerk over waifus and new fags with no appreciation for anything older than digital animation. I don't want any damn part of that and I tell those people to go fuck themselves whenever I encounter them.

Most people on forums aren't knowledgable any more. They just google the solution and rephrase it for you. The old tech shops are gone.

Old gaming attracts a lot of mentally ill people and shut ins. They destroy their lives playing games and hiding from the people who bullied them for being fucked in the head. This builds up to self hatred and a disconnect of the physical from their mental state. They end up wanting to be someone else, any one else but who they are. This then develops into full blown body dysmorphia where they feel their body is not the one they belong in as a means of self protection.

Think of it like multiple personality disorder but as a single personality. When you get fucked up enough your brain splits into what it needs to survive, In this case instead of a tough persona it creates a completely alternative persona which hates the original self and wants to move as far away as possible from it. Think of it like fight or flight and the brain picks flight.

Retro gaming also tends to be cheap so that these fuck ups can afford it. Any PC from the last decade will emulate all the retro consoles. Just emulate shit and you have the full library of multiple machines.

Just run WINE instead :^)

I suggest one of the Pokémon forums, they might help you out I myself wanted to make a Simpsons themed Earthbound hack several years back, but never got around to it

Paterson. In case you're not familiar, it was one of those situations where I was one of about six white kids in my high school (that's not an exaggeration,) and probably about one out of thirty native English speakers.

I used to go to my cousin's house in Cranford and he had Sega TV, Sega Internet, Sega wireless controllers and I used to think "what is this wizardry?"

Nice find, other than Blue and Red I never sunk too much time into the others, though I would always come back to Blue and Red every few years, especially if I noticed my brother was playing. I never did get anybody to 100, I'd always get to like 96 and then be like "I'll max it out soon," and then put it down and then focus on another game. If I had the link cable I would've been more motivated to hit 100.

I'm same as you, I'd grind who I liked. Charizard, Beedrill, Nidoqueen, Tentacruel, Persian, Chansey, Kangaskhan, Gyarados, Poliwrath, Blastoise, Ninetales, Jolteon, Paras, Scyther, Arcanine…those were pretty much the ones I put the most time into throughout various saves.

Ruby was the last one I played before I didn't care anymore. I was given Pearl and only beat 1 gym before I stopped and 3 badges in Black 2 before I didn't care. I only played Soul Silver for memories. The game even added a thing that played the old GB music, so I put that on ASAP. A lot of people I know still play the games. As long as they're having fun. I just don't care. I'm the guy that likes gen 1-2 and some of 3.

I only (hardly) know the area around Morristown

>My Blue was stolen in 1999

>>2810

>blue was my shit, I had a blastoise just like on the cartridge, he was the coolest

So this is what it feels like when doves cry.

I was the only kid in my school to get the Diploma. Goddamn Tauros took forever. Got my Lv100 Blastoise, my first starter ever. Then some piece of shit from school stole it. Then my parents made me move before I got a chance to take it the fuck back.

Blastoise is best starter.

And speaking of nobody having a Link Cable, did anyone actually have a Game Boy Printer? I got a Link Cable for Pokemon, I got great use out of it until Gen III came out and decided it didn't want to be compatible with anything anymore, but I never saw a Game Boy Printer in real life. The sheer disappointment of going to see the guy at Game Freak HQ after getting all 151 like he said, only to find out the reward was some shit on the Game Boy Printer. Never before had I felt such a supreme sense of disappointment. But it was a good lesson, because I would feel that level of disappointment many times after. Like when I played Gen III, for example. Fuckers took out more features than they added. Gen IV is awesome though.

Similar I had original Red and played the fuck out of it. Beat it, had all 151, and some nigger stole my cartridge.

The SegaCD version was butchered via censoring and there must be translations for the PC-88 and MSX. Also are these two games really just interactive movies or is that a meme.

I hope you don’t mind typos and an unpolished script.

>The SegaCD version was butchered via censoring

For example?

Policenauts is the best game ive played in a while, I played in my saturn with a burned translated iso and when i finished it I bought the phisycal game

I want to play snatcher too but havent tryed yet , i think there is not a translation for the saturn version so i will emulate the sega cd probably

>Traded 3 games for Street Fighter Alpha 3 at the local EB

>One of them was Suikoden II

Mostly about letting the wrong class mates borrow games.

>>1629

I pawned my snes and my whole snes library for like 50 bucks towards a N64 back in the day.

Basically what OP did

>Got MGS for Christmas

>Traded it into FUCKING GAMESTOP

>Along with all my N64 games, under the logic "well I've played these games 100% and I'm bored with them…"

>Only kept DK64 because it had a value of $1

>Get something like $80 and acquire Metroid Fusion

>Later trade Fusion in for Zero Mission

I regret all of my game sales now, but the ones that stick out at me are selling Earthbound, selling Harvest Moon, and selling Mischief Makers. Those hurt the most.
