nights into dreams: christmas edition?

also daimakaimura series is pretty much entirely haloween themed

Oh hey, a new rec thread. The last one lasted for a while.

MediEvil has some things that would fit well in Halloween. Both are good.

>>1819623
>Nights: CE
Came in to answer this. My favorite Christmas experience in a game was also on DC pic related.

It's sweet that it really felt special like a holiday because it was limited, though I'm sure it can be game sharked up.

>>1819693
>Nights
>DC
Sorry, Stoned.

A game with levels based on food.

A lonely game.

>>1819760
What do you mean exactly? A game that makes you feel isolated and alone? The first three Metroid games nail that.

>>1819764
More like a lonely character, just wandering.

>>1819581
Banjo Kazooie had some nice christmas and spooky haunted house areas.

>>1819749
Mario Party had Peach's Birthday Cake, that's all that comes off the top of my head.

I'm trying to find some games that make you feel like a mega badass. Stuff like Vice:Project Doom and whatnot.

>>1819806
Contra. Pick one.

This might be a really broad request, but I'm looking for a game with a very elaborate and detailed sci-fi/fantasy setting. Something that takes place in a completely unique world and had a lot of effort put into its setting. Anything like that come to mind?

>>1819749
Food Fight and Burgertime.

What are some insect themed games.

>>1819824
Buck Bumble, Sim Ant, Bugs Life
>>1819821
Anything Phantasy Star related

>>1819824
>What are some insect themed games.

Body Harvest, Jet Force Gemini, SimAnt, Buck Bumble

>>1819835
>>1819837
I asked for games, not TV toys for little children. You Playstation generation faggots have shit taste.

Centipede, Millipede, Insector X... Those are video games.

>>1819581
Grinch on GBC. It's actually developed by Konami and a decent arcade style puzzle game.

For me, more games like advance wars and military madness (assume I played all games from both series)

>>1819857
Maybe check out Human Centipede then.

>>1819857
>I asked for games, not TV toys for little children. You Playstation generation faggots have shit taste.

Wat.

>>1819821

Worlds of Xeen. It's not purely Fantasy, definitely some weird elements to it attributable to sci-fi but it's core is in the fantasy dungeon crawler. Much cooler than that though, check it out on youtube at least.

>>1819749

GBC Sabrina the Teenage Witch. There are two games, I forget which it is that has the food levels. Made by Wayforward who of course made the Shantae games.

>>1819770
>>1819760
Check out Noctis. It's a simple DOS game where you just wander around an immense randomly generated universe in first person flying your spaceship, landing on worlds, exploring them and harvesting resources to continue your explorations. You are profoundly alone in a universe with ruins from the previous civilization and weird randomly generated primitive life forms.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hBE5BZ91iw

inb4 retro police it was released in 2000 and it's on DOS for fuck's sake

>>1819760
ET for Atari 2600. ET is all alone in a world of shit and he's looking for parts of his ship so that he can rebuild it and can go back home.

Licensed games that are both really good and overlooked - nothing that everybody already knows is great like Goldeneye and DuckTales. Something that you wouldn't expect to be as good as it is.

>>1819910

>>1819912
Toy Story 2 and Looney Tunes on PS1

A comedy game that is actually funny.

>>1820167
Grim Fandango, Monkey Island.

If you like very sardonic humor, Space Quest.

I want some gross shit. I want to find a game that has really freaky scenes, subject matter, cutscenes, etc.

>>1820239
Harvester is one of the, if not the most downright disgusting game I've ever played. It's a PC point-and-click adventure game and is available on both GOG and Steam.

>>1820246
I like how Dwayne kisses you on the forehead in one of those cutscenes after putting you to bed.

A game in a surreal setting with creative creature designs. Little dialogue and a good/haunting soundtrack preferred.

Good underrated games for genesis

>1 hour later OP comes back raging hard
Good luck.

>>1820487
By "raging hard" do you mean infuriated, or with an insatiable erection?

>>1819581
Jetpack christmas edition

>>1820491
Both______

>>1820345
Best I can do is Demon Crest on the SNES. Excellent game.

Action or platformers with hot girls.

>>1819912
Not retro (yet) but Dragon Ball Z: Legacy of Goku 2 is a great ARPG with a lot of sidequests, exploration, good music, and replay value.

>>1820167
Earthbound comes to mind.

>>1820345
Shin Megami Tensei

>>1820659
Earthbound isn't really a comedy game.

A quirky game like Earthbound or the first 2 Pokemon gens that feel like they could take place in a world very very similar to our own.

>>1820480
Battletech. It's like the Strike games, but you run around in a fucking Timber Wolf/Mad Cat.

Also Atomic Runner

>>1820668
Are you literally autistic or something?
The game is obviously a comedy game. Even if you ignore the obviously comedic writing, the fucking setting of the game is a bizarro parody of America.

>>1820680
If you haven't played Persona yet, try it.

Gunman's Proof is also sort of like this.

I like RPGs but I love Pokemon most of all. Problem is I've played it until it's an undead husk of itself.

I want some games that have some similar feels to Pokemon, where I can raise and battle with monsters/buddies/animals. Fighting as humans with this on the side is also acceptable.

>>1820701
Off the top of my head...

Dragon Quest V
Dragon Quest Monsters
Lufia 2
Custom Robo
Dragon Seeds
Digimon games
Monster Rancher 2
Azure Dreams
Final Fantasy VIII (in an indirect way, raising GFs was the precursor to X's summon system)
Final Fantasy Tactics (Advance had you capture monsters in a more Pokemon-inspired fashion, but you could only use them through a Morpher which was pretty weak in reality)

>>1820701
Not quite retro, but Bomberman Tournament for the GBA.
Has the dungeons and core gameplay of a Zelda game (only with a Bomberman skin) but you can also collect monsters called Karaboms to battle and adventure with.
It's a fantastic mix between the two games and I'm shocked that more companie shaven't tried it.

>>1819623
>daimakaimura
You could have just said Ghosts n Goblins, you fucking weeb

>>1819581

Lemmings has very Christmas themed levels.

>>1820686
Calm the fuck down. I was just thinking that it had enough serious moments to not be a full comedy. No need for name-calling.

>>1820701

Jade Cocoon.

It's not great, from what I remember, but might be worth trying/emulating.

>>1820701
Shin Megami Tensei, and most spinoffs.

>>1820167
Persona 1's PS1 translation. Maybe Thousand Arms.

>>1819581
Jazz MOTHERFUCKING Jackrabbit 2.

There's hallowheen levels in the main game and a christmas expansion.

>>1819749
>No one has mentioned Mario Land 3: Wario Land

/vr/, I'm disappoint.

>>1819821
>sci-fi/fantasy setting

Shadowrun.

>>1819861
Army men
Worms

>>1819912
On par with Konami's Tiny Toons adventures games.

I need a game that is like Civilization series, but where I can conquer planets and meet strange alien civilizations... and then annihilate them. I know there are plenty of spess clickan games, but I really want something that feels like Civilization in space.

>It isn't retro but Galactic Civilizations 2 and probably 1 are like that

>>1820974
Updated version of that picture for the hell of it.

>>1820958
I remember my older brother playing the SNES version and loving it about 20 years ago, but I never really gave it a chance. Maybe I should?

>>1819581
I want a game with the most immature, tasteless, insensitive toilet humor. Pretty much the videogame equivalent of drawn together.

I already played Conker's Bad Fur Day.

>>1821239
Leisure Suit Larry -series, Spellcasting -series, Superhero League of Hoboken,

>>1821243
I firmly believe the Spellcasting series was an inspiration for J.K. Rowling

>>1821239
My recommendation was going to be Conker.

I seriously don't think there's any other game with more toilet humor.

a high octane racing game with rad visuals sexy cars featuring explosions requiring split second twitch reflexes and a rockin soundtrack, also a hot bikini babe on the cover

>>1821216
Holy shit SNES was 20 years ago. Mfw...

>>1821617
More like 23.

What is the proper aspect ratio for playing NES games?

>>1821909
4:3 @ 240p iirc

>>1821914
ok, why not 1:1?

>>1821035
Saved.

>>1821925
The standard for games was 240p 4:3 for a long ass time. 4:3 was the standard for T.Vs for like.. forever. As long as I know. where the fuck are you getting 1:1 ? Am I being trolled? lol

>>1822014
Yes, you are right, TVs were 4:3. I just read that output resolution of NES is 256x240 pixels. Which means TVs were stretching the picture.

Simple gameplay, high skill ceiling

>>1822014
look, the vr recommended emulator doesnt have 4:3 aspect ratio.

>>1822046

>>1822046
weird didn't know that. I was just basing it off what I know from arcade and SNES resolution . sorry

a very slow game.

Not in regards to loading times or anything but where the gameplay and mechanics are intentionally slow or where it plays to the games advantage.

>>1822104
turned based rpgs .

>>1822104
castlevania

>>1822104
Shenmue

>>1822104

>>1819581
Play Gex, brah. Never truly appreciated that game until I played it as an adult.

>>1821548
Runabout series except I can't find a cover with a bikini babe.

>>1822024
CRTs don't stretch they overscan

>>1822414
I played one on N64 back in the day and I remember it being kind of a run-of-the-mill 3D platformer.

A game with a creative depiction of Hell.

>>1822701
I mean they distort original square image so it appears stretched.

>>1821475
Boogerman still exists.

>>1823336
Legend of Kyrandia...3? Malcom's Revenge for PC.

Hell is effectively a luxury resort

>>1820239
not retro: saya no uta
retro: darkseed, waxworks, tideland

>>1820639
Shantae
Legend of Sia
Gianna Sisters

>>1819581

MediEvil 1 and 2 for Halloween

I can't think of anything for Christmas.

>>1819821

Albion by Blue Byte.

>>1819821
Strife.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPrU7LSqiX0

>>1819581
Nightmare in the Dark for the Neo Geo

>>1819821
I have no mouth and I must scream, perhaps?

Also seconding Phantasy Star, especially IV and especially with it's little text patch. I actually kind of like how the spells are abbreviated guessing games even; it makes the world feel so much more alien.

How about some games involving dinosaurs?

>>1826824
Congos caper
Dinosaurs for hire
Joe & Mac
Adventure island 2
Bonk Series
Radical Rex (shit but still)
Trog!
Dino Rikki
There's a dinosaur pinball game on genesis but I don't remember the name
Jurassic park operation genesis is great but not retro
...and hell, Super Mario World

>>1825703
This looks incredible!

>>1819912
Bucky o hare
Power rangers the fighting edition
Jetsons on snes

>>1826824
Try Nanosaur if you can. It's fun as fuark.

I'm looking for gloomy games, like Bad Mojo or World of Goo.

I'm not looking for recommendations, for but a while I've been looking for a SNES/Super Famicon game that was a really fast pinball kind of game, aside from the pinball mechanic you also had to take this mecha enemies down, they just stood there (I think) and you had to destroy them with your high speed.
If anyone could tell me the name, I'll extremely appreciate it.
