Ingram85 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Bought Zelda ALttP on my 3ds. Never played it in my life, always been a bucket list of gaming type thing for me so going to spend all of tomorrow playing it for the first time ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Secret of Mana is being released on PS4 next year. So tempting as long as they keep the look and feel of the original version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Man, I really need to get my hands on a SNES Classic. Damn resellers selling them for double the price ugh. Why can't Nintendo just make a lot since there's clearly such a high demand for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straggler Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Anyone else remember this one? I played it until it broke. I remember scoring over 600 with one player before the game crashed never to work again. Obv the person playing in this video doesn't have a clue how to play, but it was deceptively brilliant. The best cricket game ever imo, and if you remember it, boy does it date you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is good but there are games that are lame and great ones left off which is annoying. Like that Mario stars game. What a pile of shit that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is this Mario stars game? Super Mario RPG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might as well buy a modded console with all those games, nes n64, old arcades, megadrive etc I got one of those and well worth the £70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could bowl the computer for under 20 runs by placing a fielder where that red line is on the bottom right of the wicket. They would run out any straight drive played. The challenge was to score a four against the fielding as the computer almost never mis-fielded and took perfect routes to the ball. I still have my copy on disk (think it came on an ST Format disk) and there is a emulated version out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 The first Brian Lara on ps1 will always be the best cricket game ever made. Don Bradmans on ps3 was pretty good too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan_of_oz Posted November 26, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) Is age of empires old enough to be considered retro. I recently bought AoE2 as i loved it as a kid. Still incredibly hard to master and still a lot of people playing it online. Edited November 26, 2017 by Villan_of_oz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite sure, early 2000s I think. Its now a HD version (which is not HD lol but is improved graphics). My Mrs hates the game, can't understand why I would spend hours building houses, mining gold, building farms etc then get upset when the AI comes and destroys everything.

Ingram85 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I'm sure it was 1998 for aoe2? The original was deffo 1997. Definitely qualifies as retro. We are old now chap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have my copy on disk (think it came on an ST Format disk) and there is a emulated version out there. Sadly I can't quite remember where I put them, but you could place 2 or 3 fielders in a row right next to the batsman. If you bowl to that side of the wicket and the batsman hit the ball the first fielder would slow it down and the second or third would take the catch. It worked 80% of the time every time.

AvfcRigo82 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Growing up with a Master system II with Alex Kidd built in, plus Bomber Raid and Bonanza brothers before moving onto a Nes. Mario bros 2 & 3, Teenage Ninja turtles arcade edition, Snake Rattle 'n Roll, Paperboy, Donkey Kong classics & Boulder dash.. ..but the best of all :- 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Got the SNES classic. Hacked it...have about 300 SNES and Genesis games on it. Absolutely worth the ~$100 I paid for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Age of Empires is retro until they release the Definitive Edition in 2018 with updated visuals, gameplay and audio at that point I would consider it a modern title again. Age of Empires 2 and 3 will be getting Definitive Edition remasters as well in 2018/19 ahead of the much anticipated Age of Empires 4 release so in my mind they are retro until they are given ultra modern re-releases.
