Can anyone...

Xluna

recommend me a very active and cerebral games forum for someone who loves 8 and 16 bit consoles,JRPGs of all generations,arcade and fighting games?
Just hoping someone reading may be familiar with my ideal forum.:)
XBOXs official forums are full of "teenagers"...

o1s1n

This one?

...:pac:


Most forums dedicated to older systems aren't full of teenagers. Check out http://www.digitpress.com/ and the likes. Actually there are some other good ones in the links thread about here.

What's wrong with here

Yeah, you're kind of in it, and are welcome to stay, once you don't slag off Halo or Donkey Kong Country and another rule is that you must acknowledge that Streets of Rage and Gunstar Heroes suck, if that is the case, then welcome to the party!

Do the opposite of everything this nutcase has just said and you'll be fine

The Hardcore Gaming 101 forums seem quite civilised although I prefer here but the xbox forum is really one of my least favourites, it's just boring issues in there.

Also don't mention goldeneye or donkey kong country in a positive light or I'll turn into the internet nerd version of the incredible hulk.

Boards is great,and I'm staying here too but I wish the retro and rpg section was a bit more active. Small Irish demography I guess. I'll check those recommendations out thanks.

o1s1n

Ah the retro forum has a decent amount of traffic. Post more and I'll reply more

Why thank you, all complements are welcome,

and wouldn't it be a boring old world if we all agreed?
certainly it would be some sort of fascist dictatorship where disagreeing with the "party" could lead to death.
a bit like not liking side scrolling beat'em ups here, the result is being treated like some sort of fool, I'm lucky not to be taken into the woods, stood in a shallow trench and shot.

It's not massive, but made up of a few regulars that make it what it is

I'm talking about this forum btw.

Not at all. What we'll do is beat you to death with a lead pipe while walking to the right at a moderatly paced speed.

Eating apples/drinking cans of coke found on the road is optional.

And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Sorry man, you'll have to be Blaze. I'd have offered the part to Sera but she hasn't been here in a good while.

Go try on a red skirt and report back in ten.

Atavan-Halen

I only have blue skirts

Can I not be Axel?

o1s1n

I guess you'll just have to be the censored blue version of Blaze so

And no, no you cannot be Axel. I am the star of this beating.

Weeder has a car. He can be our backup

Wait, this has been done already -

Adam then?

Actually I do make a hawt Blaze....

You see?
You cannot even in your fantasies make Streets of Rage sound like anything other than a camp ramble of poorly animated sprites, to the right, with occasional hitting of the attack button, an equally poorly animated dude in a car with an RPG (rocket propelled grenade, not the other one, feckin nerds!), and the now and again two frame dips to the ground for coke or whatever, seriously, it reeks!

Poorly animated sprites? You sir, are blind!



Or the ever classic Ash -

Ah, any of those frames for the characters of Streets of Rage?

No matter, at least I can keep my retro gaming credentials by loving Metal Slug, Descent and Star Control II, not to mention the other couple of hundred assorted carts in my gamesroom!

The first is standard sprite art from SOR 2 and the second fro Bare Knuckle 3. The animation in 2 & 3 is fantastic. Big well drawn sprites with quite a few difference frames in their movement.

Streets of rage 1 is a bit more like you described. Still not THAT bad though..and the soundtrack is great!

Here's a few moving ones. They are well pretty -

Yet again another thread massacred by o1s1n's love for side scrollers and Ciderman's hatred for them. Where else would you get it :pac:

CiDeRmAn

Well to get back to the OP, just trying to prove that here we have intelligent debate about retro games.....

Gone and fecked that up anyway,
he's probably half way to some other forum by now

Ah well, best keep the family small I guess, looking on the bright side!

Oh, and No More Heroes 2 is really cool, although not sure why they ditched the free roaming bits, instead of just improving them, ho hum.

Atavan-Halen

OP probably just left, if you run now you might catch them before they reach the other forum!

Never finished NMH 1 so won't be getting that anytime soon =/ I have an obscene amount of games to just play, let alone finish.

Xluna

Oh no I bloody hav'nt:D Wow it's no wonder the got rid of Ash in the U.S. versions. He's so flaming I'd be afraid my megadrive would over heat.:D
