What were your go-to Games (or programs! We're all nerds here) from your childhood

Jump

  • Mortal Kombat 1 on a black and white laptop, playing 2 player matches with both players using the same keyboard

    • What are some old freeware PC games you've kept playing over the years?

    Jump

  • Nikujin by ikiki, and other games by the same developer. Not sure where to find them now, but they were some of the greatest freeware games I have played.

    • I am personally offended that the XBOX360 is apparently considered retro now

    Jump

  • The original 360 didn’t even come with an hdmi port, I remember playing Armored Core 4 on a crt. For me anything that was meant to be played on a crt is definitely retro.

    Jump

  • “Massively underpowered” switch hardware is much more powerful than the 360 as well, with games like Skyrim, RDR, Bayonetta, all running much better than they ever did on 360 or PS3. So if that’s retro…

    Jump

  • Emulation has nothing to do with it, Saturn emulation is not great still and it’s an old system, original xbox as well. All the while PS3 emulation is pretty good now and PS3 is newer than the 360. Hell, Nintendo Switch even got an emulator in the middle of its life cycle, does that make it retro?

    • Tony Hawk's Pro Skater teases new announcement with countdown

    Jump

  • It is a remaster of those two games from PS1 era.

    • Sony Cancels Two More PlayStation Projects

    Jump

  • Valve tried holding out on a failed game with Artifact, and git 0 return on investment, even after revamping it.

    Still, Concord seemed kind of interesting with how ambitious it all was. I wonder if they could have pushed it off the ground with some redesigns

    Jump

  • They also made shitty movies, on a Spider-Man license no less. Just one crazy decision after another

    • What are your favorite pre-2000 computer games?

    Jump

  • Speedball 2 Brutal Deluxe and Cannon Fodder are must try (there are both Amiga and dos versions for both).

    Lemmings is really good. Original Worms. Lost Vikings. Syndicate.

    • Video Games Can’t Afford to Look This Good

    Jump

  • Breath of the wild is a technical masterpiece though. The way that they’ve managed to do lights, shadows, LODs, distant effects. And they’ve managed to add even more to ToTK, plus physics based audio, plus physics objects interacting better than any modern AAA game on “big” consoles. They squeezed every last bit of performance that switch could provide to make these games look as good as humanly possible.

    They work with what they have in terms of hardware, and care a lot about gameplay, but they also do invest heavily into graphics and other technical aspects of their games.

    • US Democracy

    Jump

  • Why can't Biden do his own supreme court appointments?

    • Are there Cozy shooter games?

    Jump

  • Earth Defence Force: nothing better than blowing up 5 million bugs a minute after a tough working day
