This board is for the discussion of classic, or "retro" games. Retro gaming means consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games on platforms launched in 1999 and earlier. Sixth generation and later consoles are not considered retro (including the Dreamcast).
Didn't find one in the catalog... I'll start with my request, if you don't mind: there was this old game I used to play on my Windows 95. It was a 2(/2.5?)D platformer set in pyramids. I don't remember much, the only thing I recall doing was fleeing from mummies and solving puzzles, trying to get to the next level. If it helps, I think that the intro was "Mars, the Bringer of War" by Holst
How do I get Sega CD emulation working on Retroarch Wii? I downloaded what I guess is a disc accurate rip of the game (only cue + bin, no Mp3s or anything), choose the GenPlus core, try to load either of the files and I'm getting an "Error Loading Rom". What am I missing here?
Let's not forget this masterpiece (of shit). The graphics of Harvester were ugly for the time, but I always thought it added to the uncanny valley factor and the whole unnatural world feeling the game had.
So when I was a kid, very young, around six or seven, my mother loves to play adventure games, mostly made by Sierra. Most of the games she played I was able to locate, but three of them escape me, mostly because I remember so little about them. I'm hoping you all can help spark my memory from the few details I have. 1st) I know you were a wizard in this, possibly a boy. I recall you being delivered to a town in a cardboard box, and I remember a tree that is not happy about being marked to get chopped down. 2nd) I remember less about this one. The only bit I can remember is being trapped in a room where you have to move several boxes to make a face ( I think? I distinctly remember having to make a picture with a set of 4x4 or 5x5 boxes on the wall.) If you don't do it fast enough, your character will eventually take off his coat, lay down on the floor, and burn to death. 3rd) This one has been bugging me for YEARS. I recall being a room, and I recall the graphics of the room were decent, almost live action-ish. The thing that stood out was a hole in the wall, and if you clicked it, something, a rat I think, would pop out and his at you. This scared the shit out of me as a kid, and I dearly wish to put that fear to rest. I think one of the items you could have was a screwdriver, because I recall my mother using something like that on the hole. Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is pretty amazing. Sonic 1 and 2 in one game with save files and 14 emeralds, with which finding them all allows you to go hyper. Plus Heroes type character switching.
Couldn't find one on the catalog, so rom hacks thread?
