/vr/ - Retro Games

This board is for the discussion of classic, or "retro" games. Retro gaming means consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games on platforms launched in 1999 and earlier. PC games are considered retro if the most current OS that the game supports at the time of the game's release dates from 1999 or earlier. Platforms released after 1999 (Xbox, PS2, GameCube, Game Boy Advance) are not allowed.

Only one "eceleb" thread is allowed on the board at a time. This does not apply to professionally made gaming entertainment.

Have you played the best game of the nineties?

Heroes 3 Might and Magic is an enchanting atmosphere of the Middle Ages and magic!

In 2024, the largest update in the history of the project was released.

The new city - the long-awaited Factory, adds a cyberpunk element to the retro game, a campaign dedicated to it, a huge amount of graphics, audio and video, new game mechanics, countless edits, major and minor innovations.

I want to share with you the result of long and difficult work! https://www.twitch.tv/cybermasterd1g

Could somebody please suggest me some sports games that are actually worth playing these days for the PS1, Sega Saturn, and/or N64? Especially those from EA.

This website is a piece of dog shit.

This is why I emulate retro games on a PC. Save your money and don't buy a MiSTer, Mister!

I've committed blasphemy somehow I'm sure.

After 25 years, I find out about this.

Donkey Kong Country thread

Marina Liteyears turned 21 yesterday! To celebrate, let's have a Mischief Makers thread.

This thread is for discussing all things MAME and arcade allowed under the board rules. Also so I can share the romset I've been working on.

This is not intended to be a complete romset of every game dumped, but every game that actually works under MAME. Minus all the barcade, pinball, slot machine, pachinko, mahjong, porn, and other assorted crap titles most people would never touch. This also excludes arcadized console games(Nintendo VS system, etc), Tiger electronic handhelds and Game&Watch titles. This is a completely merged MAME romset, so all the clones(regional variants and revisions) and BIOS files are contained within the same .zip file as the parent game. If you wish to play a different region or variant of the game, just rename the zip to the version you want. The end result of this is a very clean rom list. No BIOS files littering the folder, and you don't have 18 variants of the same game to scroll through. You can also be certain that the game is playable, and is actually a videogame and not something else.

Keep in mind many games expect you to have a joystick, trackball, wheel, or other specific controls. A large number of racing games act funny if you don't have the hardware it's expecting. A decent amount of sports games react the same way. It's possible to map a lot of that to a controller with analog sticks, but not all games will control 100% properly unless you have the right sort of controller for them. Best of luck to keyboard users.

I'm trying to update the set every 10 mame revisions or so, but I'll update if something major pops up, like a major new game or emulation improvements. When an update comes out, I'll put up an update pack to update all needed roms to the latest standard. All you need to do is drag and drop or copy+paste the roms and overwrite the old ones. Then I'll take down the old fullset and upload the new fullset. I'm going to try to keep from too many update packs before updating the fullset, but shit happens.

As of 5/3/2019, the current fullset is 0.205, and the current update packs are 0.205 to 0.206 and 0.206 to 0.209.

Download links for the full 0.205 set here:

Sega System is the true name of the Master System, which is just a meme name for a light phaser bundle.

I have no idea what the name of this game is, and I've been looking all over for it. Does anyone know what it is? I wanna say it's an SNES game, but I'm not entirely sure.
