r/retrogames

Hey everyone!

I'm new to Reddit and wanted to get your thoughts on an idea.

I've always been a huge fan of PS2-era racing games, and I've been thinking about starting a YouTube channel focused on revisiting those classics. Do you think there's still an audience for that kind of content today?

I'd love to hear your honest opinions.

One more thing: if you had to make a top 10 list of PS2-era racing games, what would be on it?

For me it’s super smash bros Melee for GameCube I’ve always loved this game it’s addictive and I’m tough with Bowser! 🙌🏼

¿que juegos retro recomiendan para emular? ya sea en android o pc, necesito algo que me deje horas jugando.

Spyro a new beginning

So hi to everyone,beforehand want to say sorry if i express it poorly since English isnt my first language.

Im in an intense and overwhelming search for games with neon 80s kinda setting,before recommending something please take a look at what type of style i mean,for example "Killer Frequency" something about graphics and overall neon 80s vibe is so cozy to me. Im open for every recommendation yall got and thankfull for every reply. First time posting things like this since im so tired of searching and finding nothing.

P.S: More like Indie games rather than AAA

I'm currently looking for retro games that successfully combined 2D character sprites with fully 3D environments.

I feel like Breath of Fire IV (PS1) and the DS Pokemon games really peaked with this aesthetic. The way they managed the 2D art direction within a 3D space gave those games a timeless feel

I’m trying to find more titles that experimented with this hybrid approach back in the day. Whether it's an RPG, an ARPG, or a platformer, I’d love to hear your recommendations

Are there any lesser-known games that really pushed this art style?

Black And White prespective, a little brutal, action based Shooter game with factions, And it started by you waking up at a random island covered with ruins of buildings (for a note Its in the year of 90s to 2007)

I was watching a YouTube video by big ole words and he was reviewing some games that were like Metroid and Zelda kind of open world. And in that video he showed the map of legacy of the wizard. I used to play that game as a kid I had no idea that the map was so massive to that game. It looks like the kind of game where you can put the entire world map and Dungeon maps of Zelda and Metroid into it and still have room left over.

So it got me wondering if there any game out there that had a map just as huge or maybe bigger. Also was wondering now out of curiosity from that what the biggest map in a video game from the Retro era of video games was.

Hello I need help getting back my nostalgia games on my ps vita if anyone can point me in the right direction that will be helpful thank you

Hi everyone! I'm a gamer living in Japan.
Here, certain retro games and retro shops get a lot of attention, but I’ve always been fascinated by the Western retro scene. I really want to know what the current vibe is on your side of the world!

What specific consoles or eras (like SNES, PS2, GameCube, etc.) are making a comeback right now?

Which individual titles are being praised as "genuinely holding up" (still fun to play today without just relying on nostalgia)?

Are there any Western-exclusive games or hidden gems that you think a Japanese gamer must try?

I’d love to hear your raw thoughts and recommendations. Thanks in advance!

It was widely at arcade machines during about i think the early 2000's till the early 2010's it was 3D and was for up to 4p

Descriptions are;

1. You start by choosing I think it was like Warrior, Mage, Archer(elf) , and i think the rest was like an assasin of some sort..?
2. Usually you fight a bunch of green orc/goblin of sorts throughout the game and they spawn out of these a sort of a mine cave and while you kill these spawning enemies, you can also destroy the spawning point (the mine) .
3. The end boss was a demon or a dragon of some sort I can't remember enough to describe it because the game was actually hard to beat and I didn't have any cash to finish it since I was a little kid back then.
4. The viewpoint was an isometric/top-down view fantasy RPG game which really looked similar to Warcraft 3

This is all the descriptions I can give y'all these are one of those things that you really enjoyed but can't remember what the name was. Hopefully some of you guys can figure this out for me thanks.

Dragon stomper on the 2600 which came with the need to buy an add-on for the system that I just found out about and never knew that Atari 2600 had you connected it to a tape player you put the tape of a game in the tape player connected the device to a headphone jack and then into the cartridge light up the 2600 in the game would read off of the tape deck it was called the star path supercharger. Basically what it did for the 2600 in a nutshell is give it more memory for games and out of that came dragon stopper noted in considered to be the first console RPG. I watched a couple of throughs of it. When I found out about it. It was quite impressive to see the origin of turn-based combat and random encounters because as you walk along the screen of the game enemies come up to you and you get a choice by which way you point the joystick to either run or fight and there are a couple of other options that I can't remember maybe other options were to use an item or magic if there is any in the game I don't remember.

Also it touted on the back of the box that it was several screens large which was a big deal for that time. It was quite impressive to learn about this from such an early time in video game history that something like this even was possible back then. Especially with the simplistic as 2600 games usually are except for the famous pitfall which was the birth of platforming I believe. Also it had a little areas that you went into and there were even bosses that you had to fight so you can see at a very bare-bones basic level all the stuff that later became commonplace in games like final fantasy and dragons warrior. started there. Just kind of like adventure was kind of the first Zelda like game

Okay I got this game during a promotion with the coupon for free as a kid. And as a kid getting a free NES game was like wahoo that was like the equivalent of an an adult winning the lottery. And I was super excited until I got home and played it. I'm not trying to poo poo on the game because you know what not every game was made for me. I know big shock in the world that the game developers don't call me up first and say what kind of game would I like before they make any kind of video game but I could not wrap my head around it there's no map system in the game it's all first person dungeon call type of thing and I just could never make heads or tails of the game. And I remember every show off and as a kid I would pop that cartridge into my NES and try again to really get into it because it was a game and it was mine and I could play it anytime and I would do it for about 5 minutes did not be able to make sense out of anything turn it off and go away and put it back in a while later over and over and over again.

So my question is was anybody else into this game was it part of a series and did anybody actually ever beat it?

So i have an old android lying around and i am trying to use it for offline music and some light retro games to play. So kindly recommend some games close too like 100mb which can be played offline and has that retro vibe. Thanks.

I always like the NES game even though it's very flawed because of the concepts and what it tries to do with the very limited technology of the time. It tries to make a very James Bond feeling type of game on an NES and in some ways it succeeds. Last night I watched the guy play the NES game again and it got me to go down a rabbit hole and start researching this property which has been around for a long time I mean according to Wikipedia they have live action movies two of them in the 70s. It's made TV shows and some of those even had spin-offs. It is like this thing was crazy popular in Japan. We also got the movies here too but I guess it just didn't catch on here the way it did in Japan because it's been going on for 40 years or longer now. Super popular over there apparently. So I thought that would have made for a boatload of Japanese games on Old systems that I never heard about. No there's a couple of PS1 games that are kind of like choose your own adventure episodes of the show one of them I will link to at the bottom one is a Nintendo DS game it's just basically quizzing you on your knowledge of it should you happen to be a fan. A couple of sniper arcade games and the two NES games and that's about it for the series. Also an LCD thing released in Japan as well but no other badass spy game. Which floors me because you would think secret agent spy doing secret agent spy stuff is like prime video game material. It's been a ton of shows and movies as well as manga about this series. But no real games to speak of except for the two NES games the arcade games are just little sniper rifle game so I don't really see them trying to have the same amount of depth as what the NES games tried to do.

Also it would be pretty awesome to take and make the game that they were trying to make on the NES which was kind of like a spy movie story Rich game with gameplay around the story that they were trying to do in the NES version but didn't have the technology for to do it well at the time and do it over again with modern technology and the ability to actually tell a full-fledged spy story that you get to take part in.

I'm just shocked that there's not more video games for this series. Because it seems like this would lend itself well to a long list of video games especially considering how popular it was in Japan and how long it's been around over there.

Ciao, sono nuovo in questo mondo e mi servirebbe una mano a scegliere la mia primissima console di questo tipo. Sarei interessato a emulare giochi per la Ps2/PSP/qualcosina per Ds e sono arrivato alla considerazione finale di dover fare una scelta tra 3 console.

Retroid Pocket 6 (con 8gb di RAM perché sul sito non é più disponibile quella da 12);

Ayn Thor Pro;

Ayn Odin 2 Pro.

A dirla tutta non avevo intenzione di spendere tantissimo, ma vorrei avere la possibilità di emulare anche qualcosina di Switch senza troppe rinunce... che mi consigliate?
