"Sega Master System" is a meme name that SEGA developed later on to differentiate it from the Genesis. It was called the "Sega System" or simply "Sega". Originally the name "Master System" was used to differentiate between three commonly sold sets: Sega Base System 2 controllers, Hang-On Sega Master System 2 controllers, Light Phaser, Hang-On & Safari Hunt Sega Sega-Scope 3D System 2 controllers, Light Phaser, Sega-Scope 3D Glasses, Missile Defense 3D, (possibly Hang-On & Safari Hunt too) >All systems had Maze Game

Snes games

What import games does /vr/ like? I've been looking forward to playing Sweet Home. I have a Famicom I got some years back, and I can use the English translation as I own a flashcart. I'm pretty fond of the PC-Engine and MSX as well, both very interesting consoles/computers in my opinion. What does /vr/ like?

I often see some edutainment games fondly talked about, but with a lot of them it appears as though nostalgia is doing a lot of the heavy lifting, because let's face it, they're squarely aimed at young children, so there's usually little depth to them in terms of content or gameplay, so there's not much to go back to as an adult. However, there are indeed exceptions, so let's talk about the ones that actually hold up. The Oregon Trail, for one, is still a fun little romp thanks to the fact that you have choices and there's resource management, and though there's an element of randomness which will sometimes bite you in the ass or even end your game through little fault of your own, it at least ensures that no two trips are ever quite the same.

What are your favorite RPGs to play on the DS? If you're playing any now or finished one recently, feel free to share what you think about that too. The last big one I finished was Dragon Quest IV. My main party for the final chapter was Hero/Alena/Maanya/Minea. (Original, I know.) I played the Japanese version so I had all the party chat and I was really impressed by how much of it there was and how many incredibly minor and specific situations the characters would react to. I found one scene where you had to have both Maanya and Minea in your party and talk to a specific character while being polymorphed. Overall I thought it was pretty good. It didn't blow my mind; there were parts I liked and parts I thought were frustrating. I never ran from any battles as a self-imposed challenge, which as it turns out is the requirement for getting the best title, so that was pretty cool. It's the kind of RPG where I'm really happy I played it all the way to the end, but I wasn't interested in doing the postgame and I don't know if I'll ever replay it. If you're looking for a good RPG, know Japanese, and can find a copy for a decent price, I say go for it, but it's probably not a must-play.

What was the arcade game you loved playing back in the day? For me, it was The House of the Dead, Metal Slug 2-3, Strikers 1945 II, and Shock Troopers.

Figured I'd make a thread about the mediocre console with a handful of great games. What're your favorite N64 games /vr/? I've been playing the english patch of Custom Robo and Donkey Kong 64 recently, been having fun with both of those games although I wish DK64 wasn't super autistic about collectables.

Post some tunes

Anyone remember those VIDEO GAME stores where you could sell your video games or trade them for credit? They were great places to find used Colecovision and Atari software. One of my greatest regrets though, one of these stores offered $10 credit for Test Drive II (Genesis) used, and I saw it at another store brand new for only $5. I could have bought all the $5 programs and traded them for double the credit. But I was too young, and afraid it wouldn't work.

For me it's Alex the Kidd.

I don't know where this goes! This is a bad OP. If you yourself are not even playing an adventure game to talk about, and don't have anything to say about adventure games, then wait for someone else to make a thread about them.

Infuriating game to play. The rival cars constantly cockblock you in turns --unlike in previous games, their behavior will mimick the characteristics of the cars, such as drifting in turns-- which makes it so if you're close to one of them, you have a 50/50 chance of unavoidably bumping into them and having your lap ruined. They also can bump you from behind which destabilizes your car handling. In addition, the difficulty is balanced like shit (I played in normal and hard difficulties), if your first lap is not perfect, you won't have a chance to win the race even if the following laps are great. So you'll have to retry a lot to get a good first lap, which in turn it feels like RNG-dependent because you don't know if you'll get unlucky with the rivals. That shit ruined my enjoyment of the game. A shame because the courses are very stylistic and I liked to customize my cars' liveries (like in Rage Racer). RRT4 remains the last great RR.

I got both of these lately, which should I play first?

What the fuck happened to her legs?

I played this for some reason. It is a 2007 JRPG for the DS whose development was (I think?) presided over by Hironobu Sakaguchi a few years after his departure from Square. It was not released in English. I think there's an English patch but I played it on original hardware. It's a pretty good game. The mechanics are generally solid, with a few minor gimmicks that are kinda cool and a few annoyances. The UI is fully stylus-driven which neither helps nor hurts the game. The story is a shallow, under-explained mishmash that is worthy of the director of Final Fantasy 1, especially in that it includes a weird time loop that cannot be fully understood. It is charming enough and somewhat evocative, but it actively avoids taking any interesting risks. I don't really recommend playing this game, but I don't recommend against it either. It's fine. Maritie is best girl. I resented not being able to talk about this game on 4chan's /vr/, since it would have perfectly fit the rules if it would have been released on the PSX, which could have handled it well (except for the stylus support which is never used in the game for any purpose that buttons and a cursor couldn't easily serve). I haven't anything special to say about it here. But now I have made a post about it.

Title says it all. I'm currently playing through The Great Battle II: Last Fighter Twin, my first impressions of the game aren't all that great. You play as SD versions of popular Japanese characters from different franchises in a crossover beat 'em up. Extremely lackluster so far, since all characters play the exact same.
