I remember renting that from Blockbuster, real solid game.

Video helped identify some SNES titles that I couldn’t remember over the years.

ya most of those vids have nothing to do with the 16 bit era

still retro games

[hecatombz]

if you would have read the 1st page he was talking about 16 bit era

Who said they had to be from the 16 bit era?

the person who made the thread maybe on the 1st page. If your going to talk about every kind of retro console, why does no one talk about atari and intellivision, that was pretty much the 1st console war

I’ve been in this thread form the beginning when it was expressly changed from SNES x Genisis thread to a general retro gaming thread. So no, it does not have to be limited to 16 bit era.

[SuperTroll]

Correct.

While I did emphasize the 16 bit era initially it can reference retrogaming in general. There are after all very solid PS1/N64 era games that deserve attention as well.

Edit: hmmm to be more efficient I think we should try doing a master list of every notable retrogame per genre that I can post on the 1st page. Lots of games have been posted so far but for reference sakes it might easier to compress it all to a definitive list.

sooorrry mr forum police

it also says it can be about retro gaming in general.

The CT Thread

I wanted to renew this discussion that closed years ago. This isn’t a "VS"thread but rather just a place to discuss the nostalgia of the 16 bit console war in light of the upcoming console war between MS and Sony. Share your opinions on what had better ports, better games and just overall which publisher had the better console.

Edit: it’s now about retro gaming in general now but can also be about the super nes and genesis console war.

I definitely agree. However, they are just what retro games are not: polygon-based, full of cut scenes, not demanding in terms of difficulty, and so on. While, say, one may - and should - have fond memories of great games such as Conker’s Bad Fur Day or OoT, really sounds strange that someone counts them as “retro”. If one simply adds more polygons and improves textures, maybe adds voices when they are not present, they look like a game released just today.

[crotchpuncha]

That’s silly as hell.

And MSX 1 and 2 had the very 1st metal gear games, and castlevaina

[oldschool_BR]

any high level 16 bit street fighter gameplay vids?

Home versions are just inferior CPS-1 ports. Just check the Nagoyan videos for high-level SF2 tech. Parts 1 and 12 are here, but all others are on YT.

As an example of advanced stuff, the dizzy attack in the 1:28 comeback is an instant overhead. Much of the shit there is beyond comprehension to most people on SRK, since they demand profound SF2 knowledge.

Now if you really want some 16-bit version videos, there are videos of two Japanese SF2 tournaments: one for Hyper Fighting and one for Super.

MSX Castlevania was ass.

[hecatombz]

Atari had the best commercials ever lol

[Taito]

As a baseline everything before 6th gen (PS2/XB/DC/GC) should be considered retro by now. There were still tons of action/shmup/beatemup/platform/arcade racing games in the Sat/PS1/64 gen, even though things were transitioning to “modern” gaming.

I always assumed "retro"included anything prior to the PS2 era.
