The Kins posted:Basically, yeah. The Game Boy and SNES use entirely different processor families and architectures, and software emulation requires a lot of horsepower to do right. It's not like the Wii U, which is still technically a Gamecube on illegal horse steroids. A kid I went to middle school with got my PS1 chipped and told me he could get me any game for like $5. The dude's dad was like 300 lbs, big into pirating and newsgroups, and their house was in a sketchy part of town. The place was stacked top to bottom with computer equipment running nonstop, either to download new stuff or burn product at glorious single speed. I remember once I stayed there for a weekend and saw him working on editing a disc with a video of a chick jerking off a horse. Creepy as gently caress but hey, MGS & WWF attitude for a tenner!

My dad had a friend that was crazy into piracy, but he was just a regular dude apart from that. This guy lived to hook my dad and I up with the lasted stuff. Doom 2, Duke 3D, all that good stuff. He even gave us Indiana Jones and the Fate Of Atlantis and after configuring everything he realized he forgot the manual, and brought us a color printout the next day. Printed on both sides, with a cover and plastic binder. Apparently Brian (who mostly was a carpenter in small-town NH mind you) had written a fairly simple game launcher skin for MS-DOS games and then a guy a few cities over basically copied it and offered it as a service for a few hundred bucks a pop and never even spoke to Brian again. And so Brian went into gently caress-The-Man mode and basically offered his underground services to his fairly large network of people who were newly into computers. He'd hook up their computer for a little bit of cash and then give them a ton of software for the cost of the disks and like 50 bucks on top. He was a good man.

 Quest for Fame , the grandfather of Guitar Hero, on PC, mid 90s. This is a rythm game with Aerosmith songs. You start in your room playing with your guitar and you need to get better then you play in the garage and so on. For the final level, you can play WITH Aerosmith. This is a game with ugly rear end FMV but drat I played it often at the computer shop near my house as a teenager. You had a device that you plugged into the parallel port of your computer which you then can mount on a tennis racket (or anything else), mimicking a guitar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_SHR75-Cdg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubEmMCH3fBM ShiroTheSniper has a new favorite as of 02:07 on Jan 21, 2016 |

There were rumours floating about that if you completed all 3 games with the same Sonic and Knuckle's Kart something spectacular happened, I don't remember what exactly and never got around to doing it myself.

My old tower has one of these. The inputs are great, quarter inch, midi, RCA, optical, but ironically sound of the card itself just got surpassed by more modern cards. It isn't as good as my current on board. Loved the remote too for volume.

In high school one of my best friends brought an Amiga 500 to school and put it in the art room. The school bought DeluxePaint IV for it and he and I were the only ones allowed to use it. When we weren't playing Star Wars - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICOsnaTaJjU  We were actually using DeluxePaint to make animations. You had to select a number of frames you wanted to use, then you created a background and applied it to all frames. I made an animation of some dude trying to jump a 3 wheeler over 3 cars, but he came down on his front wheel and he tumbled over and over, entangled with pieces of the three wheeler that was coming apart. I still have the animation file on a floppy disk somewhere, but no hopes of ever finding a way to play it again.

Yeah it's got 4 colors! White, black, light blue, and pink!  E: I had a TA in a Pascal class in '93 or so who explained the difference between the various graphics standards of the day as "CGA stands for Cinda Good, and VGA stands for Very Good".

Lucasarts battle of britain flight sim stole so much of my childhood. Half the time it wouldnt recognize whatever configurations were set and the sound card wouldnt enable and I'd either have to suffer pc speaker or quit and restart and hope for the best. Also getting the option at startup to choose your colours, CGA (EGA?), Tandy TGA, or VGA. You dont get choice like that these days.

Howard Beale posted:When the Sci-Fi Channel picked up MST3K they added a "Caption This!" chatroom where you riffed on live-captured Sci-Fi screenshots. People had more fun bashing the constant commercials than some of the programming, though I remember a Dark Shadows crew who had a whole alt-story going on. You did Caption This! too? I wasted so many evenings in middle school trying to be cool in there.

Aaahh, the City of Bywater, a home away from home  I can't decide on what was the best part of Realmz. The D20-style rules and party building? The large amount of scenarios and dev-supported mod tools? The intuitive UI and gameplay? No wait shut up fool it was the music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajTDQ5iOcaY

sinking belle posted:Machinae Supremacy No joke Machinae Supremacy is how I found out C64 music was so rad! I used to listen to them all the time, and a lot of their music is pretty good. My favorite song is still Super Steve. Except for the Edge Wizardry theme, that one I discovered from a collection of original SPC (Super NES sound file) compositions simply titled "Public Domain SPCs" I found on Zophar's Domain. Also discovered the kickass Space Harrier theme from the same collection. Man, anyone remember Zophar's Domain?
