Right, so who here plays old retro games. And while RA2 is old, I don't think it counts as retro.
We're talking <1999 here, DreamCast allowed also.
-
I have a bit of a collection of retro games. Not much compared to some collectors, but more than your average person.
-
i think every group of friends needs a n64 and mariokart. luckily i'm that guy
-
In addition to having a physical NES/SNES, I homebrew'd my wii to play ROMS from a bunch of old consoles up until the N64/PS1 era. :dance:
-
Tekken 3, pokemon gold/silver, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro and Sonic Adventure are retro now?
Jesus christ, stop making me feel older than I have any right to >.<

I did also.
-
I guess I should list what I have. Like HA, its larger than your average person's collection.
I have a NES, SNES, MegaDrive, MasterSystem, PS1, Atari 2600 and a Dreamcast.
-
A couple months ago i started retrogaming as a hobby. As of now i have a neogeo pocket color (the best handheld ever made), my old xbox, i just ordered an apple pippin, a have a saturn, nes, n64, gameboy color, currently.
I hope to get a turbografx 16 soon also
-

Me and my GameGear challenge you to a duel.
-
i have a nes, md, n64, ps1 and gba. i count the gba as retro. also a master system converter for the mega drive.
-
Tfw when goldeneye ;_;
-
Wario's Woods, Pokemon Snap, and the Pokemon Stadium Minigames for me.
-
Somehow N64 always feels too "new and 3d" for me.
-
Oh, geez. Now I'm gonna have to list my consoles...
NES (x3)
SNES
Gameboy (x2)
N64
Gamecube
GBA
Wii
Sega Master System
Genesis
Dreamcast (x2)
Game Gear
Xbox (x2)
Xbox 360
PS2
PS3
Atari 2600 (x4)
Atari 5200
Odyssey^2 (x2)
ColecoVision
TI-99/4A (x3)
Commodore VIC-20
Plus games for most of those and some that I don't have systems for such as 3DO, Sega Saturn, Atari 7800, Intellivision, and possibly more.
Here's an inventory that I haven't updated for probably over 3 years.

-
Wario Land, Pokemon Red, Red Alert 1, Age of Empires 2, Icewind Dale, Baldur's Gate 2, and that's just on my computer...
-
Oldest thing I've got is the Mario Bros Game And Watch (where they're putting the boxes in the van or whatever). Don't have any other retro consoles but I use Virtual Console quite a lot to play Sin And Punishment, Super Smash Bros 64, Lylat Wars and Super Metroid.
-
Do ports where the game itself is virtually unchanged but on a more modern console?
-
I use emulators on my computer as well, (ie dosbox, zsnes) and i have a bunch of old 90's computer games like thief, diablo 2, systemshock 2, morrowind, half life, etc
also today i went to my uncles house in okc today and he gave me his old genesis and nes. sh** was so cash

That's the best part of retro-gaming. Some people will literally give that sh** away. I don't know how many times I've found games or even systems sitting on the curb during town-wide clean up.
That and finding stuff insanely cheap. I got two complete in box TI-99/4A computers for a dollar a piece.
The problem is the people that have the mindset "It's old, so it must be worth it's weight in gold." Find sh** like SMB/DH cartridges for $20 a piece. Hell no.
-
Damn, Diablo 2 came out in 2000 :rage
But Age of Empires 2 came out in 1999 :gawe:
-
If you have a PS1 or a PS2, one of the early Destruction Derby or Twisted Metal games is recommended.
-
Will look out for them
-
I got a SNES, anyone know any good games for cheap?
-

got destruction derby from a car boot, crashes on load :dumb)

That's why I don't trust them, look in a Game or a Computer exchange, They test them and they're generally cheap if their bad or don't play well

game don't sell retro games
idk what computer exchange is.
the disc probably just needs a clean
-
I got both Destruction Derbys'. I've also got a demo for DD2.
As for the rest of my collection, I've got all these babies:
2 ZX Spectrums, Nintendo's Colour Game System, Amiga 128 and an Oric 1 and a few others. Want to get a NES, SNES and Mega Drive when I'm older. Possibly a Pong console as well. Maybe Collecovision :3
-
i have an atari,snes,nes and also a nintendo 64 all which function good still
-

In addition to these bad boys, I have two original-style GBAs (as well as a Pokemon Gold), two N64s, a GameCube, a SNES, and an Apple ][e. I used to have a Genesis, but I gave that away.
-
damn frezal you still have your Pokemon Blue cartridge ? I lost mine. And my Gold. And my gameboy.
and Donkey Kong Country... I remember playing that. It was pretty good.
recently I've been playing Age of Empires 2
>Mongols
>Teutons
>Huns
yeaaah man

Game sometimes does, depends on what has turned up in in preowned
Computer exchange is more commonly known as CEx, google it

Also, think I should mention this, get the expansion pack, soooo much better

Red, Blue, and Yellow all still work. Silver, on the other hand, has a dead save battery. Once I finish moving, I should probably replace it.

lol i have the expansion
>huns
aztecs... well it's all about MOAR infantry and monk spam backed up by siege onagers. tbh i don't have the full aztec experience because I only used infantry and monks without siege onager support.
About the expansion pack there's one thing that I don't like and it's Heresy. It nerfs monks so badly, it's not even funny; they are just useful for healing and pissing off Persians now.

Actually, only some nations get it, thats what annoys me about being the britons, Longarchers vs monk fight: converted...
:rage :rage :rage
Siege onagers are op, if they have built into the forest you can delete the forest and sneak into their base and they do quite a lot of damage.
So are aztec monks, I had a group of 25 and had them all convert the enemy's troops, 75% of them got converted :trollface
The Jaguar warriors are ridiculous, having 25 attack creams even a castle :trollface
So yeah, the Triple Aztec experiance is a must
-
dude you lose LONGBOWMEN against monks ? how do you even do that ? clearly you ain't shooting the monks enough.
If you micromanage a blob of siege onagers yes they are good... but send some cavalry against them and oh sh!t, here's my onagers firing at themselves and getting raped by 2 cavalry units
Aztec monks should just be countered by siege onagers. And castles. I mean, sneak two or three against a group of 25 monks, see them losing half or more the monks.
I don't remember the jaguar warrior having that much attack, 20 maybe... 25 against infantry, possibly.
but seriously mangudais + siege onagers + siege rams = break your enemy like no tomorrow.
-
Well longbow men have a base range of 7 odd and monks have 9 Iirc, plus I was having it attack the monk while the other troops were attacking the enemy's troops, outranging is key, also I find Teutons, Chinese, Byzantines and the Turks really good
-
I pretty much always used the Byzantines when I played. I just found them really good for whatever reason, iirc they get bombard towers which I always lined my base with.
Anyone else ever get the Age of Chivalry mod for AoE II? I didn't expect much but it was actually a very good mod.
-
Wow, the first pc game that I played came out in 1997, when MMX was the ultimate in graphical processing technology. POD looked so amazing back then.
Then again, Terminal Velocity came out in 1995. GOG.com is awesome, letting me play games I played on my first pc :D

I haven't but i might look into it, did anyone find the hidden part in AoEII campaign? (I forget which one) I found a mod which allowed you to use it in map creator
-
Hidden part? Never heard of it, I'll look it up.
Also, did you ever play Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds? It used the same game engine AoE did, so it played basically the same, and was really good fun actually.
Edit: From gamewinners.com :
"Saxon Revolt scenario
There is a hidden scenario named "The Saxon Revolt". To enable it, enter the "Goodies" folder in the game directory. Instructions for enabling it are in that folder."
Was this it?
-
it's not a scenario, it's a part you can use and place in the map editor(with it unlocked)
hint:
-
No idea at all.
Maybe I just spent too much of my time with the game surrounding villagers with wolves on the map editor to find any cool secrets.
-

I used to do that all the time. They'd surrender only after they've used all their food making new villagers that just die anyway.

I found an amazing casino map online, with an awesome betting system so you could bet gold on if the villagers would survive the onslaught of wolves. That was fun :)
-
It's something called A 'sea wall', it looks like the paliside wall and you can use it on water, you just have to get the mod to unlock it, it only appears on 1 campaign mission:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/89222Aoe II sea wall.jpg)
-
It's already unlocked in AoE II HD.
-
Nice. Looks like I have another reason to get the HD one then.
-
It's already unlocked in AoE II HD.
Is it? Well it isn't in the normal AoE II :/
-

It's because of The Forgotten Expansion, which was released last year.

Well, AoE II HD is a remake, so of course they're going to make some differences from the original in terms of what's available.

Good point, I was just wondering why it was excluded from the original

when playing an online game, and a pop limit of 500, don't move five 300 strong armies at the same time. The server crashed just before a beautiful battle :/

Sounds like you were acting out the battle of the 5 armies from the hobbit
-
lol I was using 250 or such british longbowmen (DAKKADAKKADAKKA) and there was so many arrows the game slowed down and crashed
IN SINGLE PLAYER

huns and aztecs vs saracens and goths
with a persian craaig sitting on the side with his own waiting to pounce.
-
i now imagine craaig's face on a war elephant
we should start an AoE2 thread somewhere. maybe i'll do a angry frenchman review of one of my battles.
and persians are pretty nice. especially when you unleash 50 elephants (hell even 20) on an unsuspecting enemy. at one point in a deathmatch there were at least 4 different colors of war elephants on the same screen due to 2 Persian players and monks.
these things are living battery rams seriously, only things that beat them are horse archers, judicious use of onagers and monks.
-
I've had a look at the forgotten expansion, look it up it adds 5 new civilizations :gawe:
...But you can only get it on steam :rage
