Yeah, the classics are pretty much the only games I play. It's about more than just the game though, it's also the whole nostalgia thing. Playing old games takes me back to when I was a teenager or a kid, it's a good feeling.

It's the same reason I enjoy anime: it reminds me of all my teenage years, really takes me back and makes me feel young again, and lets me lightly relive my teenage years. Same with games.




Its def not just you, look at all the many many modern games now using HD pixel dos-like graphics. And yes i miss that. Was playing Jazz Jackrabbit the other day and realized its prob more fun than Sonic!

Do any of you have a sega game gear or a neogeo? :awehigh:




Emulation. I have every console ever! Lol. With a controller its basically the same. I would never have been able to afford the real neogeo (was insanely priced and games too, since it was all based on arcade tech). But neo geo emu is Awesome! Press 5 to insert coin and away you go on your retro journey. Nebula is a great one because it can emulate CPS2 as well as neo geo. And i have a namco emulator where arcade tekken 2 works perfectly

My two fav consoles to emulate tho have to be snes and ps1 (both mainly for the rpgs)
Playing forgotten Dreamcast gems is awesome too

I actually dont. My friend has one of those blackmarket xbox things with every system on there as well and basically every rom. Besides taking care of cartridges and cd's, it literally is the exact same thing assuming it works at 100% (and these days, thats not an issue for like a 3mb snes rom)

Though myself im good with just a laptop and 360 controller.

Sure its nostlagic to whip out a decades old SNES, but getting the games and stuff together, making sure they all still work, i really am very content with emulation on a strong processor. Also, if youre one of those people that likes to collect comics and keep them in the original package, i can see why "it wouldnt be the same" but thats a perspective thing, the games play just as well

The only thing that can detract is if youre not using a good controller. i feel a typical x360 controller works well for every system ive emu'd so far, including arcade.

And btw, THAT might be the one thing where the experience at a real arcade is better. Other than that, really, whats the difference?

To me emulators are a way to keep gaming history alive and modern. Is it any better when nintendo releases Earthbound again for $5-10 (which btw i bought for on the go) and its still the same game youd emulate? In fact it is emulated

I can see that being true maybe with like n64, for example Goldeneye split screen games, but thats partially because N64 had a unique type of controller. Nintendo added personality to their systems, and yeah i mean, dreamcast was sleek and nice, but realistically, most people's consoles break down over time as they get more and more outdated, you lose games, etc.

I guess if you care for your games, like i said, like comics. But i know allllll these freakin games for all systems, bought em at some point, or at least played them, and when you can have a whole emu library to keep em alive, i think thats a great thing.

The day i discovered emu it was mostly for snes and gba, and dammnnn i was so happy to play FF6, Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, tried to get into Pokemon. But man i was so happy you could just download and play all those games, i still kinda feel that way

Who is into retro (at this point, like up to ps1, even ps2, but way before also) rpgs?

What do you mean by mini systems? Do you mean like third party dreamcasts and such? Or what

About companies other than sega that decide to literally emulate the hardware of saturn, dreamcast, gamecube, whatever, i think thats a good alternative since its hard to find some of those systems now and they work like the originals from the couple that i tried. Cause otherwise thered be no new retro consoles being made

The ones that actually play the same games, same controllers, etc. thats i guess hardware emulation rather than software

Edit: oh you mean the same thing but tiny versions made by the real companies. Never tried one. Probably a lot more expensive than a third party. Those unofficial ones run perfectly from what ive seen so it seems like a cash grab.

Also how many times will they re-release FF7 and all the Zelda games, again banking on emulation

My first gaming system was an atari... Or maybe it was calecovision.

But yeah, was pretty much born a gamer lol

I remember being blown away by the graphics on the NES when it came out, if I could go back in time and show me what kinda shit we got goin on now, I'm pretty sure it would melt my face right off.

One game that really sticks out in my memory to this day was E.T. For atari... I fucking hated it so bad, but I'd play it anyway, hoping some day I'd actually figure out wtf was going on, seriously one of the worst games ever made to this day.

And pilotwings for snes, omfg I loved that game... I would do the skydiving shit for hours.

Then mortal kombat and street fighter 2 hit the arcades, my mom would go to the bar and drink every night with her boyfriend at the pub witch happened to be in the mall, the arcade was pretty much right next door, they'd just throw me 20's to keep me busy lol, the amount of qaurters I put in those two machines would prolly equal a small fortune.

Hey I finally found a thread that will allow my oldness to function as an asset!  Woohoo!  I play zero games (haven't since like... PS2... and then only like three times and before that not since like... SNES...  I remember cracking the NES box when it came out in 1988 or whatever and thinking I'd seen all the things.  Lately I have the alarmingly strong desire to play FFIII and Chrono Trigger.  Someone is going back to the future when he gets some cash...    :awegroove:

I found a working Calecovision system abandoned in a trailer I was paid to clean out maybe 10 years ago.  Had the steering wheel control.  Gave it to the guy I hired to help and am still kicking myself.

I recently was replaying FFIII (the snes FF6 in US, since theres also the only recently released nes "acual FF3" which was made into a 3D remake. Its on all mobile platforms, prolly nintendo consoles and im sure others. But im talking about what is actually FF6). Was playing it and got past the whole world shift and basically 90% to the end, but i couldnt figure out where to go next. It was on an ipad and taking up alot of space so i ended up deleting it and losing my save game. Playing Final Fantasy Tactics and Baldurs Gate on mobile currently. Revisiting FF7 8 and 9.

Anybody get into Xenogears for ps1? Id say one of the best rpgs ever.

the best modern rpg ive seen for a while would have to be Persona 5. I consider it near-masterpiece level and its not a ripoff of anything. Its like a life sim plus dungeon crawler, where you cant even beat the dungeon in 1 or 2 tries, theres a calender of like 10-20 days by which you have to beat each boss. Make your way to checkpoints, then retreat back to town, stock up on items which are restocked like once a week

The first console i played was also Atari. I didnt own one but my neighbor downstairs when i was like 6 did. Then i got my NES and Super Mario Bros 3, that was the start of my gaming

My first PC was a 486 with windows 3.1 and a 50mb hard drive, which was enough at the time, most progs were prob below 1mb. The most intensive stuff at the time would have been Doom, i dont think a .wad is more than like 1-2mb

Oh shit ya, me too... I didn't own one but my buddy did, Mario 64 is still one of my favorite games of all time, that shit was crazy seeing it the first time, even though I was somewhat desensitized to the crazy 3d graphics from owning a ps1 :lol:

I remember how insane the graphics on starfox for SNES was, those polygons were absolutely jaw dropping at the time... I recently got to play it at my my buddies house after like 20+ years while on mushrooms, I was gobsmacked by how far we've come lol.. Those were like cutting edge graphics at the time.

You wanna play something while tripping thats still just a regular game that goes full on psychedelic?

Turn on GTA San Andreas. Dose acid, mesc, or best of all 2ce. (Shrooms work too but at more visual doses its hard to play videogames, imo, this was always done with 2ce for me, because youre still clear-headed, and my friends discovered this little trick)

Now get on a bike, and keep driving down the highway.

You will see what happens. Dont crash the bike, just keep driving down the highway until its hyperspace. Full speed, no stops

A very different trippy fav of mine was mario sunshine. Just to bask in the beauty. But usually once i fully come up, if its a tryptamine, videogames become hard to play.
