Retro Gaming Thread

I almost forgot about spawn…remember the old terminator VS robocop beat em up.

imports must have for gensis


snes must have imports




Golden Axe 3 was ass. Yu Yu Hakusho Makyo Toitsusen blows the piss out of the SNES fighting games.

English Terranigma is crazy expensive and you have extra hoops to jump through to play PAL games on an NTSC system. Sadly I’ll emulate it and hopefully pic up a Japanese version some day. Same with Bahamut Lagoon.

good thing theres DLs to play imports

SoR2 is poor. SoR2 Mania is decent but at the same time easier than the other SoR games. I can’t stand that part 3 has so many distractions from actually fighting. Other great beatemups focus on fighting strategy, as in your characters engaging crowds or bosses and/or both, but 3 is filled with weapon management and platforming and defusing bombs and not-fighting the correct boss. 1 is okay (the “nostalgia” argument in a retro thread? Why?), 2 doesn’t rank high against other beatemups, but the design has more in common with straightforward arcade brawlers than 3. SoR is almost like SF Alpha-- 1 is too basic, 2 is solid but not amazing compared to similar games, 3 has way too much going on and is an acquired taste.

On the contrary, I’ve played and beat SoR3 on its hardest difficultly. I know that you can’t even beat the game if you don’t play it on hard anyway.

Still, if you think SoR3 is this glorious beacon of light, you are only kidding yourself.

How about retro video game commercials?!

one of the best commercials imo

You can all argue about which SoR game is the best, but River City Ransom is the best brawler as far as I’m concerned.

Hmm maybe, i still like final fight 2 and 3 on snes

With all the new ground breaking visuals and bells and whistles these days…few intros have managed to get to me like this one did.

I was literally about to post here and ask if anyone has this for ps3. Please tell me you do. I LOVE Gunstar Heroes but can never find anyone (not lagging) to play with.

How could people forget about Eccho the Dolphin?

Both the origional and tides of time were bloody brillient.

@Jack_Frost I got it for PS3 and Steam. GOAT Genesis game

Anybody ever play Xexyz on NES. Game is godlike. I’m glad I still have it and my NES

Doesn’t matter what SOR is better. SOR Remake V5 topples them all.

@RagingDemonStorm

add me on psn suspect0479

if it’s too laggy ill just have to invest in steam probably even though I dont have a gaming pc…but mine will run gunstar for sure

Fuck…what happened between the nes days and now that games became giant pussies. Games back then were hardcore, manly shit level hard…now it’s like anyone can just beat a game.

It’s weird. It’s one of those games that starts out kinda’ meh than as soon as you’re fighting Terminators it starts to get really good. Boss battles range from generic to kinda’ bad. If you fuck up and die with ED209’s machine gun it is virtually impossible to beat him. Other than that it was a great shooter and the Genesis version had more gore.

It’s typical of most genesis ports…always more violent ha.

So I was looking at some of the nes games that were released towards the end of its cycle and the contrast in visual quality between those games and a game like Mario is massive. I often wonder how good nes games would look like now with the modern understanding of 8 bit power.

Skyblazer was pretty rare for snes till people found out about it, now its like 20 bucks


super turricon 1 and 2 are very good shooters if you like contra games
