RetroGaming

goombakid , in Anybody have favorite Master System games?

Kenseiden. I just recently FM sound modded my SMS and the soundtrack sounds awesome! Just a fun hack and slash.

Outrun is a great racing game. I still can play that hours on end.

All the Wonder Boy games.

Phantasy Star for sure.

And just because it was a pack in game, Astro Warriors and Hang on. Just a no nonsense shmup and moto racing.

Anticorp , in Dreamcast - Virtua Fighter 3tb

I was a master at Virtua Fighter. They had it at the PX when I was in the Army, and I could play all day long on a single quarter, as long as people kept challenging me. Nobody could beat me!

Is that connected by VGA, or upscaler? Or?

VanHalbgott OP ,

My smart TV has a composite output.

callouscomic , in Why are younger generations embracing the retro game revival?

Maybe they're sick of bug-filled copy/paste endless cash-grab open worlds.

imPastaSyndrome , in Got the set 👍

>no tactics advance 2

RampageDon ,

I think that's DS and not GBA. FF3 is posted in the pic because it was only released on DS and not GBA so the only way to have the "full" set is by showing 3 as the lone DS game.

imPastaSyndrome ,

Oh shit. Didn't even realize that game boy is one from the next ruled my childhood so I don't think I really notice the change from one to the next looking back, but Ashley love everything about dual screen stuff. Being able to see the stats up top or whatever was always the just smartest coolest thing for me but sometimes feel like I'm in the minority there

What's with that instance? Has a lot of stolen videos. Wonder if it'd be a good idea to tell the creators that they're being used for some web3 scam.

mesamunefire OP ,

From what I understand they are all partners. I've had a couple respond to my comments. I hope it's not stolen.

wjrii , in Playing Asteroids (2600) on Atari VCS

2600 version of Asteroids...

I'm so sorry. So much flicker. I grew up with a 2600 in the house and 8 year old me even had strong opinions about the 7800 being the proper successor, but a lot of 2600 stuff is more interesting as a time capsule than a game.

Cold_Brew_Enema , in [Link's Awakening]Another Zelda game down!

Such a great game. Eagle tower was really hard as a kid. Always took me forever.

pflegerich ,

I needed the guide book as a kid - I wasn’t even able to get past the third dungeon without it, I think…

Have you played the Switch remake as well? I'm wondering if it is worth playing the original. I actually like Gameboy graphics, but the music is hard to get used to.

TORFdot0 OP ,

I haven’t played the switch version so I have no idea how it compares. From what I’ve seen it plays pretty close to the original

mesamunefire , in New Games for Old Consoles 5 - Game Sack

I love seeing this kind of stuff. New games for evergreen consoles.

That's the wrong controller for that game. The way to go is with the dial controller.

SOURCE: I beat it on my 2600 as a kid.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

Does the VCS even have a dial controller as an option? Obviously the 2600 original did, but I almost backed the VCS and don't remember anything other than the paddle and a modern style controller as options.

Redkey ,

According to promotional material, the 2021 VCS "Classic Controller" has a twistable joystick for paddle controller functionality. "Paddle" is the usual term for the rotary analog controller, which I think is what is meant by "dial controller"

?

I must not remember correctly but I didn't think it was possible to "beat" asteroids. I thought it just went on forever...like space... I remember playing one game for hours and hours.

Must be in a mode or difficulty I didn't play.

JoMiran ,
@JoMiran@lemmy.ml avatar

It has a maximum score before it restarts the count. I can't remember what that was.

wjrii ,

The old-school term for that was "flipping" a game. Super Mario Brothers and Zelda and the NES era more generally really brought in the concept of "beating" games.

Blue_Morpho ,

How did that work? The dial was analog left right and a button.

The thrust on asteroids was digital- on or off forward, left, right and back on the joystick was hyperspace jump.

You couldn't move or hyper jump if you used the dial.

wjrii ,

I don't think Asteroids was a paddle game at all.

Blue_Morpho ,

It wasn't but you could sort of play some joystick games with the paddle.

Jeom OP , in i wanna get into retro gaming but keep getting losing interest
@Jeom@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks for all the help. ive read all the comments. i think my main problem is that im too strict on the games i play(purposely making it harder or just replaying the game if i forget a bit of the lore).
this is a long term thing so i cant really give an update but this has got me feeling pretty confident
