That's what og segafags wanted yeh

Mario is descended from Moors
Sonic is a white man and Mario is a n*gger. This is what upsets Mario fans more than anything.

How did we go from this

I will never ever partake in this retarded zoomer shit. Who decides what are actual achievements? It’s just trannys making shit up, there is no real basis or accomplishment for going “completionist” because there is no rhyme or reason to them
Entire concept is fucked up and retarded

It's my second favorite sonic after CD. Something about the level design makes it enjoyable for me and the fact that it has more platforming instead of being a "push right to win" type of game makes it more rewarding imo.

How did this make it into a published magazine

Who /edgy/ here?

A few months ago on /pol/ some leaf asked me to say 'Sega System' on /vr/. I got banned for 3 days for it and I never got a chance to tell you. If you're reading this you syrup chugging bastard, I said it and you're fucking welcome.

Lmao imagine playing on a shitty old 18" CRT when you could just use Blarts and play on a 70" LED for free with wireless controllers and lower latency

Someone should send a message to Nintendo. I think you know what I mean.

I played Shadow the Hedgehog for the first time last week, only a single run through, and it honestly felt cheaper and worse than SA2. Also some of the funniest cutscenes I've seen. It's an interesting idea with the different goals in each level but it's really badly executed. What do you honestly like about it?

Because we don't give a fuck, deal with it nerd

ITT: We discuss the culture and context surrounding retro games.

>What is retro? Is "retro" a solid set of dates, or does "retro gaming" change in regards to the current year? Why?
>Was letting 6th gen on /vr/ a mistake?
>Regional/generational differences in retro gaming culture
>Changes in gaming that you liked and ones that you didn't like
>What you miss the most about retro gaming
>Major changes in game design and gaming in general
I personally believe that the biggest turning point in gaming was in the early-mid 80s, with the introduction of "linear" games that had a beginning, middle, and end, as opposed to "arcade style" games that would endlessly loop until you ran out of lives. Super Mario Bros in 1985 wasn't the first of course (Pitfall and Manic Miner come to mind), but for many Americans it was the introduction to that style of gaming, which would become standard from the 3rd generation of consoles onward.
>Beloved /vr/ memories
Here's one of mine:
>Be me
>Playing Earthbound as a boy with my cousin
>Reach Belch's factory
>Fight some fobbies
>Cousin walks in, he refers to them as "fava beans"
>We laugh
>I call them fava beans from then on
>He dies shortly afterward

Also please note Jannies I was not complaining about 4chan's policies, I just want my frens on /vr/ to share their thoughts on what it means to be retro.

We all know that Sonic likes to go fast, but who's the slowest retro mascot?
