/vr/ - Retro Games

I just realized that I have no idea what /vr/'s image limit is.

We should be watching out for pakis in the current year

I like what you're doing here OP

>>7962423
What the fuck man 33 years later and I never even knew GnG had a level select cheat

>>7962430
Should have gotten the power, anon.

>you are now monitoring this thread

Thanks OP, this'll be a comfy read later tonight. I've never actually seen the first issue.

Will there be a #2?

>>7962505
I know this thread might last a couple days and I don't want to flood but I have the first 145 issues plus some scattered ones. Would anyone be interested in more at a later time? Maybe do one once a week or something. It'd be nice if I knew how to merge images side by side automatically so I could do two a thread, idk if such a program exists though.

>>7962542
Sounds great and I'm looking forward to it.

>>7962542
I'm interested in the issues that coincided with the releases of Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Those two would be nice.

That's the end of the issue.

Obscurest of waifus.

Wish they fleshed out this character a little more.

Linux people could probably write a simple Bash/Python/whatever script to do this on the command line. You can very easily concatenate two specific images with ImageMagick: https://askubuntu.com/questions/717099/concatenate-two-images-one-below-the-other

ImageMagick apparently can be run in Windows too? The script is the trickier part, anyway. If anybody here is into that sort of thing they could conceivably write one for you, I suppose. Seems unlikely.

There's probably some GUI-based program that already knows how to do this without special scripting, but I don't happen to know of it.

RAMBO COMMANDO

I was randomly thinking about this today: would anyone be interested in game manual story times? The cool ones like Pokemon Blue.
They're not as long as magazines so they wouldn't be a big commitment to do them weekly.
I also considered strategy guides but those can be huge and take all day to upload.

>raising one eyebrow
Fuck me, that shit was around even back then?

>>7962903
Manuals would be cool. Especially since lots of people lost theirs or got games used and never got to see them.

>>7962965
Yes, silly boy.

>>7963247
YES. YES. DO IT.

>>7962297
I remember when reviews were pretty much just instructions on how to play the game.

>>7965249
It's bizarre. Our local magazines purchased a lot of game coverage material from Nintendo Power, but they at least included their own opinions on the game too.

>>7962472

lookin like Kenshiro up in here...

i have this issue, beat all to hell but still intact. Man the memories, it was SO much bigger than the funclub news letters.

ASS

Moppet, scotformer, mayor.
That is all.

>>7962259
I noticed that when they didn't finish a game they stopped giving detailed hints. Read the ninja gaiden article to understand what I'm talking about, they stopped writing in detail I think it was from level 5 onwards.

>>7965439
They usually stopped before the final level or boss as a general rule. Didn't wanna spoil the whole game for people. With Ninja Gaiden, they only covered the first 3 acts in the initial issue, then acts 4 and 5 in the next issue, letting players discover the nightmare of Act 6 for themselves. The only times they covered the end stuff was in the players guides(SMB3, Ninja Gaiden 2, Final Fantasy, plus the ones you could order from them).

>>7965356
Yeah, those were pamphlets more than anything. 1/6.

>>7965786
2/6.

>>7965793
3/6.

>>7965786
They must have been cheating. Thankfully internet forums became popular in the 90s and became more accessible in the 2000s. I just downloaded them because they had exclusive material, to this day there is no artbook about the classic ng series

>>7965795
4/6.

>>7965804
5/6.

>>7965801
Read the magazine. The guys you wrote to for help, or called the hotline for, always had some brag in their profile of the hardest game they beat. They had people on staff who could legit beat Mike Tyson in Punch Out.

>>7965814
6/6. And that's it for the very first Nintendo Fun Club issue.

>>7965818
your mom

>They had people on staff who could legit beat Mike Tyson in Punch Out.
You act like this is a feat.

>>7962903
Yes, Robopon Sun Version please (my manual for it was...destroyed)

>>7965793
Why are they presenting Hogan's Alley as a game about shooting real gangsters when it's clearly simulating a police marksmanship training facility?

Only the sons of millionaires had money for game magazines. No one actually bought these.

>>7963247
you know all it takes is a google search to find any common game manual, right?

>>7966615
But who wants to put in that kind of effort when nice anons will just post them anyway
