2019-01-14: Both newly scraped images and full images are available again after making a deal with Cloudflare to disable caching. This gives us time to research alternative methods of serving full images. Donations would still help in case of image storage failure and we still need a new scraper.

The server is stable, but the scraper is at its final limits due to crippling resource use and cloudflare limits, so /gif/ and /wsg/ images are paused. Let's solve this: help build a new scraper. More details here.

Ghostposting is under extreme vetting by new moderators to mitigate spam. Crackspamming or responding to any is a bannable offense.

You probably just solved why American Battletoads is unplayable crap after stage one. I proudly quit after that I and like it that way.

I wonder if someone could try out a PAL version of Battletoads and see if the game is a bit easier to negotiate through.

Some really nice graphics though considering the game used only an AOROM and had no proper mapper chip so it's mostly just relying on the unexpanded NES hardware.

Redpill me on long breaks at the end of coasters. Isn't just one medium break enough? It will show down at the station anyway and it will save some time.

It lasted all the way up to 1983 but units produced in 1979 onward were in a different, newer case design with a smaller PCB that had fewer chips and was cheaper to produce.

Weren't the first consoles just a box with knobs? They didn't even have wired controllers - the controllers were on the console itself.

Early standalone consoles mostly used paddle controllers because that's what you used to play Pong-type games

The Channel F controller is fucking awesome, and I can tell you haven't actually tried it. It's a joystick, a single-speed paddle controller AND a plunger in one, and works pretty damn nice. Much better than the 2600 joystick.

Is he first real console to utilize ROM carts, so it earns points for being a trailblazer in design even if it makes the 2600 look hi-tech by comparison.
As far as games go it has a few interesting Pong variants, a decent Space Invaders port from long after the console stopped being relevant, and a surprisingly good bowling game. Its an interesting artifact with historic value, but isn't something you are going to be compelled to play very often.

Yes. In the original, you need to get hit by five fireballs without leaving the screen or killing a wizard, and then kill a wizard, or some shit like that. I'm not sure exactly what the qualifiers were.

It is, and the game was clearly inspired by Druaga and its "try random shit until something works" model. But Druaga was meant to be played in an arcade with tons of people around that would try random crap until one person stumbled over a solution. Hydlide was meant to be played alone.

How would a double stick setup impede exploration?

The traversal is the most outdated mechanic in the first two Primes. I think it subtracts greatly from the overall experience.

Its pathetic, but not creepy. A little weird, but the mass of people who talk about lolita at coffee shops is creepy, not guys who are autistic and daydream about waifus from videogames. You use creepy like youve never been to 4chan/nel before. Then you have the audacity to try and justify your turd of an opinion. You know whats creepy? Trans women are creepy, especially when they have muscular frames and 5 oclock shadows. Its not creepy to fantasize about videogame women who are of age and considered to be hot by the majority of the fanbase. Thats like saying every guy who had a thing for lara croft in the 90s was a creep, but the game was made specifically to make guys fantasize about laras boobs and ass. Its no creepier than female romance novels, its all fake. But, keep telling yourself its creepy to have a normal imagination.

I've played quite a few fan translated games, and while some are good, I believe the vast majority of the games translated are mediocre at best (NOT the translation, the actual game play itself).

Do you think that most of the best games actually made it out of Japan and we missed quite a few bullets? I'm starting to think that perhaps we did, and that we aren't missing as much as we think.

Pic related is one of the few games I think we DID actually miss out on. What about you /vr/?

Technically, she doesn't kill you because Japan probably didn't know how succubi work yet. The creation of Morrigan is literally the first time they've ever heard of one.

Succubus being a death is a meme. The original point was a devil which collected semen from men, passed to an incubus, and would impregate a woman with it, where the offspring would be essentially human, but tainted with evil. Explanation for infidelity and give magic powers without involving pagan beliefs.

The idea presented in Morrigan's Darkstalkers 1 bio text that there's a "dream famine" going on is interesting. That modern life is just so soul-crushing to us humans that we're incapable of having good dreams anymore, and as a result Succubi are in danger of extinction.
