al-azad posted:But the one thing that sickened me when I learned about it was Nintendo's presence during the 90s hearings on violence in games. Sega was defending video games as a legitimate art form and saying it's up to the parents to vet content for their children then Howard Phillips strolls out and completely throws Sega under the bus while advertising their own products. Like you have an image of the dude being chill. Maybe you're playing Super Mario Land 2 on your GameBoy and he walks by and is all like "Oh hey, stop in this spot and all the Boss' attacks will go right by you!" on his way to gently caress a few Japanese interns, sabotage Sony via industrial espionage, snort coke off of a Game N Watch and answer some fan mail. Just goes to show you that guys in BowTies are dicks.

What's the best place to get some UGCs? I really wanted to get some BitBoxes to make my loose games look like old VHS rentals, but the price is way prohibitive. Might as well standardize my whole lot if I'm going to invest in cases...

RZA Encryption posted:I got a bunch from Amazon a while ago. I've actually been wanting to get rid of my extras. How many do you need? The only places I could find that carried them were odd media storage sites in packs of 100,, and the Amazon resellers were overpriced for a fraction of that. Like, I could pay $40 for 25 cases, or $70 for 100. I figured I would just tell the wife that I need to buy more games to fill out whatever extras I had

I was looking to get a Classic for a buddy of mine, but looks like Nintendo doesn't want money. Instead I think I'll grab an Everdrive and a spare NEW and give him that for his birthday. Won't have the cute front end but meh. Them killing the thing pretty much did in any enthusiasm I will have for any SNES/N64 models.

Symphony of the Night? SUPER Metroid? Zeldavania? I think the coolest, albeit probably most jarring, aspect of the NEW era was having sequels that were really divergent from that the previous installment offered. Zelda is obvious, but Simon's Quest being an action/adventure with rpgisms, or Super Mario 2's mechanics and settings. Kind of cool that kids rolled with it. It was just like 'oh yes New Mario is an isometric puzzle ROB of course'

I asked the same a while back. Most of the other samples are really similar, but Guile and the Announcer have a really noticeable shift. I'm wondering if the samples were too low res for them to be reused. It's actually part of the reason why David Hayter needed to redub a lot of his work when The Twin Snakes was made-- the GC sound hardware brought out a lot of stuff from the old masters that the PS1 glossed over (like traffic noise from outside the studio they recorded in).

Wizgot posted:I was wondering, as well, if the same thing happens to games today. Has the quality of videogames really gone up? I'm sure. I still think there are loads of lovely and mediocre games that come out today for modern systems. There will be lovely games for every generation, but more modern games have the benefit of standardized APIs, game engines, textures, documentation and a shitload more institutional knowledge that takes the burden off a bit. LOCOCYCLE, for the XBONE, was a terrible, terribly lovely game. But it's heads above the LJN rage-inducing poo poo that was made in the NES heydays. It's also worth considering that as lovely as some of those NES games were, the Atari library was arguably worse.

So is anyone excited about the SNES Classic and the crappy Star Fox 2 rom that they're including. I mean, SF2 would have been an FX chip game so maybe there's a way to get other ones to Work? I'll never get my hands on the thing so...

Only Shallow posted:LA retro trip report part 2! I hit up a few more places on my last day in the area. Game Dude was where I bought my copy of Link to the Past, WonderDog (SegaCD game for my sister, originally), and got my Model 2 Genesis. I actually live fairly close to it now, but I remember the pricing being out of whack so I can only imagine what it's like now. The Family Arcade is owned by the FAC (a decent distributor of arcade games in LA, also the buildin at the corner to the left of TFA). In recent years its turned more towards those dumb catcher and Dave n Buster style games, but back in the day it had an impressive collection of stand ups. I'm talking old classics, DDR, the drat arm wrestling game, Virtual On, and the First Row fighter gallery that featured Big Screen Tv's and bitching speakers. Sucks about your wallet... even in the 90s it was kind if a sketch place due to the surrounding neighborhood. A few doors down (at what is now a head shop or skate shop) was the College Arcade, which was where all the primo poo poo was. The Real gamers would camp there to do insane poo poo on the fighters, and there was usually a decent number of import games or just esoteric stuff that wouldn't fit at the Family Arcade. Being across from a decently sized community college helped, but the late 2000s saw the College Arcade flounder. The guy who ran it was kind of elderly (always had his two poodles up on the main counter) so I think he just decided to close up shop. It's a shame, because that was easily some of the best match watching I've seen. Glad you came upon World 8, which is a newer addition to the LA game store community. The folks that run it break street date all the time, and they have a small but not terrible selection of old stuff and collectibles. They also do a little towards fostering community, with tournaments and Friday Night Fights for like $1. I think they just finished a remodel of the flagship store (the one on Vermont by Olympic). Didn't know about the Burbank places. I'll have to check then out. If you're ever in the area again, check out two of the Barcades that are decent: Button Mash (in Silver Lake) has a restaurant attached to the bar so you can actually plop down and eat when you're done playing. It's got a great late 80s/early 90s vibe -- there's poo poo like small boom boxes, Mecco toys and other recognizable childhood cruft on the walls, and the bills all come in bad Young Adult paperback novels. They also curate the collection, so you get the large cabinet XMen game and TMNT arcade alongside SF2T, Paperboy, Tapper, NBA Jam and a few others, with a requisite row of Pinball games off to the side. EIGHTYTWO, just off of Skid Row and Little Tokyo, is the place to go for expensive cocktails. They have a room just for pinball games / skiball, and their main area usually projects the image from the SSf2 cabinet so you can see some gaming while you wait at the bar. Food is not a thing there, they rely on food trucks and proximity to other restaurants, and the crowd skews a little towards the mid 20s hipster, but it's a decent afternoon regardless. The area is definitely... eclectic... with LA's most impoverished area just 2 blocks away, contrasted by artisanal pie shoppes and a bratwurst shack. And if you happen to be in Glendale for some reason, the Vintage Arcade Superstore is a blue warehouse that takes in, repairs and sells cabinets. I believe they let you walk around, and might have a showroom area where you can play some of the games. You can also rent it out for birthdays.

Shlomo Palestein posted:It's a super Bourgie thing to say, but movers are worth it for the whole package, beyond just one heavy rear end TV. The luxury of having some folks empty our the old place and then drop the boxes into your new place, and in some cases reassemble your furniture and poo poo, is a great use of money at a time when you'll probably be stressed over a dozen other things. Not having to move a heavy rear end prehistoric TV when you're trying to figure out what's wrong with the furnace or trying to coordinate Water/Power/Cable services is great.

Ofecks posted:I was born in '80 so I do remember playing Atari stuff when I was little. It was neat, but they were just severely downgraded arcade games with very little depth and poor controls (those joysticks, ugh). SMB on the NES, however, was a huge leap forward. I couldn't put it into words as a kid, but that was definitely The Thing. And the games just kept getting better over time. I suppose its relation to gaming is like an early kinetoscope or Nickelodeon to A Trip to the Moon. Definitely formative but more of a historical footnote. All the engineering tricks to get it to work are really fun to read about, though, and it does make me appreciate the limitations more.

Silhouette posted:"Atari isn't really historically relevant and nobody cares about them" As much as people complain about Genesis' farty chainsaw synths, even the worst of those outdo what the Atari subjected people to. And as someone else noticed, the age range of the forums makes it more likely that kids grew up with the 8-bit era, not the Arcade/Atari era, so the nostalgia effect wont be as pronouced.

Syphon Filter comes at a point before RightStick Analogue Aiming was a thing (also, roast people with your mighty taser). Bushido Blade gave me some fun bullshit.

Also, you could probably sell decent modern cassettes with reformulated magnetic tape but thay would require non-20 year old decks and that takes away from the retro novelty. Techmoan has a great set of videos about better tape tech, and there's at least one that looks righteous. (Metal slide top to protect the tape, no sprocket holes so Box Art can go on the tape itself, cooler holder that wont die on you.)
