The 16-Bit Era Thread

If I had to choose one console generation to raise kids on, it’d be the 16-bit era. So many timeless classics including:

  • Mega Man X1/2 (the GOAT!)
  • Sonic 1/2/3&K
  • Super Metroid
  • Streets of Rage 2
  • Super Mario World
  • Super Mario RPG
  • Donkey Kong Country 2

If anyone wants to look around, this is a link to my SNES games, which I haven’t increased in size for a few years now.
Doesn’t show my repros though.

I don’t have my NES or PS1 games on there, cause I don’t want to buy more of their apps lol
Plus it’s not as big as my SNES collection.

No Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts?

I don’t buy games I will never play. And I will never play that again.
I’ll just play Demon’s Crest instead and have more fun.

HOLY SHIT… A 10 dollar game for 500 bucks? Fuckkkk Amazon is full of scumbags.

I never actually beat Super Ghouls n Ghosts- that game was fucking difficult. In fact, I don’t think I made it very far at all. Now I want to go back and try and beat it.

Link to the Past and FF6 shit on every fucking thing on the Genesis.
Super CV4 and Metroid flush the damn toilet.

That is all. Fuck Super Hang On.

Sega doing what Nintendon’t!

Nothing turn-based shits on the Genesis, let alone Super Hang-On. Get that shit outta here and take it to reddit, lol.

I remember legit blowing roommates mind showing him S&K with Knuckles playable on Sonic 2.

Not sure what’s up with all those 32Xs. Must’ve been a SoJ employee…

That shit reminds me, you don’t see game companies roasting or shitting on each other anymore like back in the day. Fucking Phil Spencer is all “Congrats Naughty Dog on Uncharted 4. You’re not a gamer if you wish failure on your competitors” and shit. Nigga where is your rancor? Nuke them niggas and shit Xbricks all over them!!

Sega didn’t give a fuck, and neither did year one Sony Playstation. I still remember that video commercial of Crash Bandicoot hanging outside Nintendo of America’s headquarters and talking mad shit with a mic and interviewing passersby and shit. Fucks not given!

“Show me your rage!” - Raging Raven

the consumers spew enough biased bullshit that the companies no longer have to do it.

Another reason why the 90s were much better and not because we are looking through nostalgia glasses.

You have some EXPENSIVE games. Mega Man X2, Mega Man X3, Earthbound, Demon’s Crest…good job.

they werent expensive before “retro gaming” became popular.

It was expensive before “retro gaming” was thing. It just hasn’t stopped.

Ya I blame AVGN and Mike for raising prices on a lot of games. Once they showed off some “rare” games, people jumped on it like crazy.
I bought Wild Guns and Demon’s Crest for 30 bucks each back in the day cause I know they were fun. Now they are easy 100 a piece.

Glad I got them when I did, prices are jacked up like crazy cause all the kids that played games when they were young, are now 30 year olds like me with money to throw at them.

Gotta be smart though… If you buying from ebay, Amazon or most sites, you gonna get ripped off.

I bought most of my games from nintendoage cause it’s full of collectors, so you bypass the resellers +150% mark up.

And some games were always expensive, for the past 10 years or so. Earthbound, Mega Man 7 and Mega Man X3, Super Turrican 2 are three games I recall always had a high price around 100+ bucks.

FF6 was selling at Funcoland in the 90s for $100 used…
But I do blame guys like AVGN for some… I saw one of those shitty ass bible games for like $80 once and I’m like wtf?

FF6 was 100 bucks brand new in Canada when we had our shittiest dollar haha
I got Alpha 2 new for SNES for 115 from Toys R Us. My parents were saints.

Super 3D Noah’s Ark is really rare. So I wouldn’t be surprised.

Is that the Wolfenstein game?
Whichever the case was, it was the Wolfenstein game.

Yup. That’s the one.

Sega didn’t make a decent controller until they released the 6 button, and even that controller was a piece of shit compared to the SNES controller. I still have two Propad 6 controllers which were BEAST controllers and could take a beating from hell and keep on going. The OG genesis controller is one of the shittiest controllers ever made. I think I went through 5 of them in my prime genesis years. http://www.lukiegames.com/Sega-Genesis-SG-Propad-6-Digital-Processing-Button-Controller_p_16226.html
