wtf how did you get your hands on final fantasy 9? do you work for square enix?

5 years too early.

It was called Megastore if i recall. It was a building with several floors each dedicated to something. Ground floor i remember was music and i think there was a floor dedicated to clothing as well but i might be wrong. I think the vidya floor was the 3rd floor and it was pretty comfy, the walls were lined with black shelves filled with games and there were several demo booths, i think there was stuff hanging from the ceiling to. Definitely the best vidya store i've been in.

And they have the guts to have it labeled as a greatest hit already, I bet its going to be so choice

I was remembering wrong, but find a platformer on the ps1 as good as Super Mario 64 or even Banjo Kazooie.
Find an action adventure game as good as Majora’s Mask.
Find a non port fighting game that’s as smooth and responsive as Smash 64.
Find a racing game as fast as F Zero X.
Find an rpg as charming and fun as Paper Mario.
Find an FPS with as much content as Perfect Dark.

Overall the ps1 library is superior but the few good n64 games really shine.

Fav games were
MediEvil
V-Rally
Tomb Raider
Bug's Life
Tai Fu
Tenchu
Resident Evil
Command and Conquerer

I miss being able to stay up all night playing Goldeneye and Mario Party with buddies, drinking soda, going through a bag of chips + pizza, and only feeling mildly groggy the next day.

I'll give you that one. The closest would be MGS and those are vastly different games.
>Non-port fighting game
Bullshit. That's just cheating. If it were JUST fighting games, though, as it should be if you didn't wanna cop out. Tekken 3, CvS, Street Fighter Alpha 3, and Darkstalkers 3
>Find a racing game as fast as F-Zero X
As fast? Okay. Find a racing game with more content than Gran Turismo 2, since we're going off of arbitrary properties.
>Find an RPG as charming and fun as Paper Mario
Charming is a very vague quality, but with Fun you got me there.
>FPS with as much content as Perfect Dark
Now it's about content?

Spyro was better than Banjo. Mario 64 was far better than both though. Rayman was my favourite platformer of that gen though.

Tekken 3 > Smash 64

Ridge Racer Type 4 > F Zero X

lmao there are a PLETHORA of PS1 RPGS better than Paper Mario 64

The Quake 2 PS1 port was really impressive. Far better than the N64 port, but you don't count ports for some reason.

>Spyro 1 and Crash 2
These are B grade platformers and are appropriately grouped with others like Croc and Gex

That's why we're seeing Croc and Gex remakes right now that sell like fucking hotcakes, right?

signing it is the icing on the cake

>Quake 2 PS1 port was really impressive. Far better than the N64 port
I disagree. Quake 2 on N64 is literally the most colorful game in the entire 5th generation. It’s the only game across all platformers in that gen to run in 24-bit color. Every single other game runs in 15-bit color.

*platforms

I was born today

>Find a non port fighting game
just because every fighting game developer ignored your shit console doesnt mean those games didnt exist
Soul Blade, Tekken 3, Marvel VS Capcom, Street Fighter Alpha 3 and Bloody Roar shit all over the first Smash
the only other good fighting game option besides that on N64 was Killer Instinct Gold and even that was a butchered port

And remember!
Respect is everything!

i dont see this series going anywhere
DMA should go back to Lemmings

Crash and Spyro selling like hot cakes is due to a dearth of good new platform games on PS4 and the fact that PS1 had a large install base of now nostalgic 20 somethings. Gex 2 sold pretty well back then. A HD remake for it would sell well too just for nostalgia despite not being that great of a game.

This.

Depends a lot on what you're specifically referring to. I was a child in the late 90's, so I sure-as-shit can't tell you what it was like through the eyes of someone with any perspective. But as a kid growing up in a middle-class family, there was this vague sense that we were living in a 'post-history'. Bigotry, war, and poverty were dead or dying.

Same

Gen Xers used to consider 1998-2004 the downfall of pop culture and the cancerous teen pop / nu metal / trl / mike scully simpsons era. People kept saying "1993-1997 was the true 90s" or "That 98-99 pokemon britney nsync crap wasn't true 90s, felt more like proto-2000s".

But nowadays, you have people in their late 20s on Buzzfeed/Twitter saying 1998-2004 was the golden age of pop culture or "the 90sest era ever", and consider anything before 1998 to be outdated/overrated/not interesting for them. A complete reversal in opinions.

The Gen Xers were right. 1999 culture is virtually indistinguishable from culture on say September 10 2001.

1996 was the last year I thought felt wholly 90s with none of the proto-2000s seeping in. It was fully blown by 1999.

>water fights on the street
I miss that more than anything.
Not just personally, but as a concept. The last water fight I've ever seen was on field day during senior year because me and the football team were feeling nostalgic and spread it to all the other clubs until it was chosen as the theme.
My little brother never chased little girls with a giant plastic water gun or met a gf by taking a water balloon for her, and it sickens me.
Fuck the future, and fuck Chris Hansen for making every parent too scared to let their kids go outside and use gallons of water for amusement.

Some things never change. Even in ancient rome shitposting was a thing

I meant in sheer "fun", Paper Mario is pretty strong. There's no denying that with shit like Xenogears and FFIX, the PS1 was fucking packed with great RPG stuff.

I remember '99, I was 8yo, and I completed the final fantasy ps1 trilogy in English as a Spanish (from Spain, not an SA ape) kid, playing with a dictionary at all times.
If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have been able to play with other English speakers when I grew older, and that would've meant I never learned English, which would gate me out of my current job and girlfriend.
So basically I have to thanks the ps1 for saving my life.

I think the best way to describe it was the perfect blend of optimism and apathy (instead of the turn of millennium period which was at pollyanna levels of optimism).

I'd describe it also as a period of great transition with technology. There was all of this tech that could do radical new things (look, 3D powerful enough to actually render something reasonably atmospheric!) but it was still rather rough and unrefined. That lack of refinement also meant that the blend of globalism with technology hadn't gone full exploitative yet. In other words, it was a period with a lot of experimentation.

She was always like that which was nice going out of her way to ensure we got whatever was best for us, each of us even had our own Gameboy's since she knew how awful it would be the share things. Still, I'm always brought back to this story she told me whenever I see posts like yours.

Wish I was alive to see what those guys were arguing about, must be in their 40's by now.

Shit, why didn't I think of buying my own memory card. I did the same except always prayed someone else doesn't delete my saves on the cards they have.
Now I feel sad 'cause I remembered that I'll never feel the same joy when starting up a video game like I did back then.

Towards the end of 1996 there were some definite signs, like the film Scream coming out in December, Dragon Ball Z and Sabrina the Teenage Witch premiering on American television in September, and the N64. Plus the Spice Girls were already massive in Europe.

1997 just built on that late 1996 stuff, while also being the same year where things like Grunge, "old" MTV, classic Simpsons and fourth gen consoles were on their very last legs. In many ways it was a period of cultural equilibrium

Nice argument, contrary to you tho, I had the two consoles and played both games when they released, you were probably being born at that time.
CTR is an actual racing game with deep mechanics, MK is a casual party game, no need to be mad, this comes from an era where people like videogames, not videogame brands

>Because they don't care about you.
And Nintendo does? Sounds like "don't be a console war fag" means "fight for nintendo, just ignore just a few years ago they were censoring everything!"

I don't live in Murrica so everything might have been on a 1 year time delay for me. Agree that the Spice Girls already sounded like late 90s / early 00s music despite being introduced in 1995. The whole pop music industry copied them. Well I guess they still had a bit of the audible Eurodance influence. Britney finished that off completely.

No it doesn't, you're made to care, because you'll buy a product to spite the rival company much easier than you'll buy to support the one you like.
I work in marketing, like I said, these past decade has been the golden age for us, you don't realize the amount of manipulation tools that are used nowadays in every single media, they're tailored over years to inspire a set of emotions that will lead into sales, even tho those emotions might not look supportive in the first place.
I'd explain in further detail but you seem retarded, so I will if you ask politely in your next post.

God I love early 90's advertisement, especially Sega's, they were completely fucking unhinged.

So you ignore the present? You don't kick your dog when it learns to piss outside.
Good moves are good, not censoring is good. No company has a stellar history in regards to censorship, but moves in the correct direction should be praised. Same as regression should be treated as such

Anyone submitting for the next Photoshop Phriday?

How old were you in the 90's? I don't want to be a dick about it, but you seem to remember them and the early 00's much differently than I do. I was in high school by 96.

The early 90's was just a growth of the consumer culture fostered by the late 80's. Clothing was made to be bombastic and overpriced, melodramas shaped the teen landscape into a mediocre version of tropes established by The Breakfast Club.

Not everything was readily regulated, things were more "free" as the economy had just went through an oil-related recession and the Gulf War that basically won Clinton his presidency. As a result, unemployment was rising and service jobs paid significantly less than they should've. College tuition was beginning to bloat up and consume people with debt for the first time, something that wasn't a common phenomenon in previous eras, and despite this, every academic and baby boomer pushed that college was the only option, largely because they didn't see the world through the lens that tweens and teens did.

The rise and sudden emergence of a technological boom was what saved the global economy, but as stated before, it was completely unknown and relatively unregulated by the public and the government itself, leading to what was effectively, nothing but "deep web" as the norm. People were also a lot more polite online in general. It wasn't until America Online's wide spread use around '96-97 for the common person lead to more ubiquitous use and online games started popping up.

The 90's were also marked by a huge boost in Hollywood appeal. A-list actors made and broke films, and huge-budget films would be bank rolled based on star power alone. Waterworld is a good example of this. In addition, with movies like Independence Day a Jurassic Park blew up across schools simply because of how awesome they looked. The marketing behind them was relatively tame compared to these days.

This has to be an advert from viz. Actually, I know it must be since its the same format as the others but its just not a cartoon.

Sure, outside of being weaponized for console wars, that is.
>not censoring is good
Except that Nintendo still censors, to be fair, everyone does, Sony also censored stuff long before the recent puritan craze, as much as many people won't admit it.
Again, it's pendulum swings, nothing more than that, any console and major distribution platform censors stuff to various degrees, now it's Sony's turn to be the "bad guy", eventually they'll stop and somebody else will take the mantle, before Sony it was Nintendo for instance, except nobody was ever this outraged, especially considering the much longer history Nintendo had with censorship too.
As long as you people will keep on playing by the pendulum rule nothing will ever change, the problem isn't the company, it never was, they only go where the money is or where they think it is, the fault lies in people and governments.

And I don't say this to be a bootlicker, it's just how multimillion companies work, they don't care about you or what's ethically and morally right, they never will, it's all PR talk, one day they take off censorship to boost sales, the next they adopt draconian measures to not lose their lead and money, it's always like this, whether it's sony, nintendo or steam.

I was born in '85. My post was really about the mid 90s rather than the early 90s. A few things you've listed are pretty USA-centric if I'm to be honest. But you are mostly right.

The point I wanted to make though was that due to the radical introduction of new tech in the first half of the 90s (mainstreaming computers, CGI in films and 3D in games, the internet in general, etc) it took a few years for these technologies to become "exploited" where soulful experimentation got winded down in favour of soulless milking. Of course this all happened in different industries at different times. I don't think it hit the video game industry in the 90s but more toward the middle of the 00s.

The Spice Girls are a good example of it. Much of their music heralded the introduction of a new generation of synthesizers which had less of a Eurodance '80s style vibe to it and something approaching the modern sound. This technology had been around for a few years (Kraftwerk were experimenting with it already in 1991) but a few years were required for refined use. After that music studios managed to churn out manufactured sweet pop hits for the ear which is what created that bubblegum pop / boy band / girl band / teen pop craze in the late 90s / early 00s which made so much money but generated so little of worth.

JRPGs are the worst genre. Yamuachi was right. Players of RPGs ought to remain in their dark rooms and be ostracized from society.

As a non-American, the major difference between 1999 and the first few post-9/11 years is the rise of skater culture and Avril Lavigne. Most of the technology and tv shows were a continuation of each other, with things like the xbox being an exception

Yamauchi was a fucking murderer and a piece of shit.

cont.

The mid-to-late 90's saw the escalation of online technology, destroying the previously polite society, which was more akin to today's ham-radio culture, and turning into a cloud of ignorant stay-at-home moms, obnoxious little kids, and general retards.

Since T.V. wasn't as politically correct as it is now (the very term had a slightly different meaning and use than it does today,) characters would use genuinely insulting words like "retard", "transvestite", etc. Comedy was also generally more uncensored, and if people were offended, they simply didn't watch it. There was no Twitter and Facebook to flee to and browbeat people into starting a culture war like there is today. Things that were disliked were disliked due to common dislike, not because of perceived offense. Companies weren't readily bullied by outrage, they simply bowed to what the public bought and what they didn't buy. The term "Politically Correct" in the early to late '90s was reserved for technology and other things that were made for specific people in mind, such as a street light that buzzed when people could cross, or ramps for the handicapped. Race commonly had nothing to do with it.

All-in-all I'd say the culture of the 90's was that of uncertainty, especially for teens. College was required, but now exceedingly expensive. Jobs were plenty, but no longer paid well enough to live on like they did in the 80's. Cars were cheaper, but gas was comparatively more expensive than it had been in previous eras. To top it all off was the looming threat of Y2K, which was a genuine public concern.

If I were to pick films that definitively captured the feeling of various 90's culture they would be; L.A. Confidential, Scream, Thelma & Louise, Clerks, The Big Lebowski, Strange Days, The Bodyguard, and The Faculty.

I'm from the US/Mexico, so you're right. I can't really comment on stuff from other places in the world. I do agree with your general sentiments though.

It was a lot more laid back. No meta bullshit, no memes, no internet jadedness, God-tier anime, cartoons, and vidya. You didn't have to worry about phone calls or whatsapp messages for fear of someone being in need or something. Markets were way healthier so you'd probably have a higher salary without a need for a degree. There was also this new horizon of possibilities wrt tech and internet. Nowadays we are jaded and are sceptical towards any tech improvement. For instance machine learning is a laughable buzzword (nowadays). Gaming with friends meant that they'd come over and play on the couch. No discord or steam bullshit.
I'd wager it's not nostalgia. Life without the overbearing technology and internet was a lot simpler and straight to the point. You go to work for work. You go to the toilet to shit. You go chill outside to chill. With the internet, everything gets blurred. For instance, you go to the toilet and take a shit while on the phone, (re-)reading emails from work. Or 'chilling' outside with friends, yet you check your phone every few minutes out of habit. Why are you on the internet while outside? We didn't do that back in the day.

>What was with the 80s-90s and the fascination of dinosaurs?
I think it was because many cartoons in the 80s were accused of being mindless entertainment. By pushing dinosaurs companies could have big scary monsters while also having a thin veneer of educating kids (these monsters were actually real!)

I wonder if these shitposters from 20 years ago are still shitposting today?

and then a good company will take and revive that series, also allowing it to be finally known...

It's different this time. We already got Sonic Adventure, Ready to Rumble is insanely good, next gen fucking RESIDENT EVIL is on it's way, the true sequel to RE2. It's over Sonytool

You say that now, but Shenmue will revolutionize gaming and help bury Nintendo once and for all

Frogger, He's Black

At the time people said 1999 was the worst year for music ever, but now people try to lump that crap in with alternative music from earlier in the 90s

Because music of today is far worse

Street Fighter outside of 3rd Strike sucks but even then 3rd Strike is overrated, try KoF98 for a real man's fighting game

fucking based holy shit

I spent 1999 being nostalgic for a better year, like 1991. God the late 90s were shit.

Nsync sounded soulless back then and it sounds soulless now

What was going on in Kansas, 2014?

>america
>innocence
o i am laffin

Nsync sucks, but they at least had soul.
I'd take the worst of the late 90s (Britney, Backstreet Boys, Nsync) over the average of today (Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish) any day of the week.

Backstreet Boys have some good songs

Your thinking of the 80s Muslims had shit themselves and lost any respsct or tolerance by 95. Especially in New York

1999 was the best time for electronic music like Chemical Brothers, Prodigy, Moby, Aphextwin, While most people were on back street boys and Britney Spears I was listening to this youtube.com/watch?v=_PmU6G_Z4n8

Based zoomerfiter babypost

Threads like these make me want to pull out my n64 and play it again.

I'm not into boy bands, as I am not a teenage girl. But I'd still rather listen to I Want It That Way over garbage like Wrecking Ball.

Yet more proof that Zoomer is a mentality.

There's plenty of good music every year. But as far as the most popular and commercial stuff goes, it's really not. You couldn't get away from all that shit in 1999. And no, none of those bands had a soul. They were 100% focus group tested garbage.

I got a 6 years of this when I was really young, but the majority of my childhood was watching it die slowly throughout the early and mid 2000s

>Chemical Brothers, Prodigy
Those artists were more relevant to 1997 (the last respectable year of the 90s)

Give me your lunch money

People hated Britney and the others, and rightfully so, but no one had any idea just how bad things would get.
Now, the shitty boy bands of the late 90s seem like Mozart in comparison to what we have now.

>pretendo 64

This is not even up for debate. There's actually a study made that shows how the variance in the melodies of the top songs stagnated after early 2000s

Chris Hansen didn't cause this. Even if kids did go outside to play, which they wouldn't, they wouldn't want to play with water because they'd get their cellphone wet.

To be fair I actually prefer modern pop music over that awful period in the mid 00s where every single top charting pop song had a cringy rap segment.

youtube.com/watch?v=xat1GVnl8-k

A lot of Prodigy tracks were used in movies going forward into the 2000s. They even had a track from 2015 that was used in a few movie trailers, so there relevancy moved beyond the late 90s at least a little bit. Not anymore though, still bummed about Keith Flint's death.

>You couldn't get away from it
That's the difference. Even my grandma knew who nsync was in 1999. She doesn't have a clue what teens listen to now because you can avoid it these days.

>it's really not

It really was. It was schlock but it was not soulless.
youtube.com/watch?v=qwgRWR9S5kg

All I feel right now is disgust. Is that what I was supposed to feel?

I agree, music from 2004 to 2007 as a whole was absolute trash

Maybe cellphone signals have addled your brain

MMD animations were a mistake

>GEX Enter The Gecko
*Sucks teeth*
You aight darkie

You really can't. At bus stops you hear assholes listening to it. On public transportation the driver plays it on the radio. In malls and supermarkets you hear it.

Everyone agreed that mainstream music got BETTER in the mid 2000s. Back in 2009 I remember it was really taboo to say you enjoyed anything from 1999/2000, besides the video games.

If you were a teen in 1999 and you're defending the backstreet boys, you should consider suicide.
>public transportation
I still hear 80s music in the grocery store half the time and I don't think I've ever heard something made in the last 10 years.

Arghh take me back.

Didn’t have Pokémon red or blue but Used to play Pokémon stadium and puzzle league every weekday then go over my friends and play 007, Mario party, wwe,super Mario 64, Mario kart,etc all afternoon.
Good times

>Everyone agreed that mainstream music got BETTER in the mid 2000s
Nope. It went from awful but self-consciously silly to almost serious but still awful.

Watch Go (1999)

Captures the feeling of the time without meaning to.

I was 13 in 1999 but i guess i must have grown out of it because i don't look back at the Backstreet Boys as nothing but fun camp. Even back then i did not listen to it but i recognized it as cheesy instead of insulting to my ears and being. I had two friends that ironically sang their songs during class and then laughed their asses off like retards to annoy the teachers. How can i look back at that with anything but nostalgia? You sound like a teenager right now, are you sure you're not a zoomer LARPing?

What’s puberty?

I used to own both consoles, but had no money to buy original games because in Brazil they are overly expensive. So I had to rent the N64 games and buy PS1 pirated, I did eventually sold them all to pay for my college to some reseller that sold me a PS2 some time later. He also sold me pirated games for PS2. The pic is from the magazine that I bought at the time before being able to check games reviews online

You didn't even get your first console until around 1995. The first Nintendo console was released sometime around 1985 or so. This is why your nostalgia threads are always about 1998 or 1999. You're new blood lad.

I live in South America and had the same shit happening back then, it was even better at 1994 when we had no internet.

Which was your first then?

I liked both systems. 64 had smash and goemon. Psx had fft and re2

Remember in The Matrix when Morpheus describes 1999 as the peak of civilization? It honestly was. The late 90s were such a carefree time, not just if you were a kid. It really felt like society had moved past all the "bad shit" and we were heading into a better age. The internet wasn't something constantly surrounding you and making you angry half the time, it was a dumb little thing you logged onto for a few hours every evening if you were a nerd. Kids actually played outside still, just a little bit. But playing video games with your friends was still much more comfy.

Fuck 9/11. The War on Terror is where the paranoid hyper-reality we live in today first started settling in. Shit like Vince Foster or Waco or Columbine happening nowadays, nobody would fucking care because that's just everyday life now. We're heading into a new dark age, man.

Not a single action/adventure game on PS1 legitimately compares to Ocarina of Time. Super Mario 64 btfos Croc, Spyro, and Crash in its sleep.

Conversely, the only really good RPG on N64 is Paper Mario. The PS1 and N64 were suited for different kinds of games, so which one is better depends on what types of games you like.

soul reaver is better than oot

>green Playstation label
Huh?

Plays like clunk shit now, looks dark and muddy and uninspired as fuck

Congrats. You named 2 of the 4-5 games that are on the same level as the PS1's best. Thanks for proving my point.

This also applies for most of the 2000s. Things really started deteriorating once we started approaching the tail end of the 2000s decade

I can’t put my finger on exactly what the feels were but here goes. (Please forgive me my the things If mentioned are the in wrong year)

Things were simpler. Vidya was great and exciting. Cartoons were great and actually funny. Tv was good too especially at night. Anime was god tier. my sister would buy these huge shonen jump mags. Toonami came out. Pokiemon was new hugely successful. The internet was fun. Newgrounds.com was the shit. Social media was actually fun. Most kids had a game boy pocket or color. Pokiemon fucking yellow. Things were cheaper too.

I donno zoomer user. things were just simple. Some of the past is still here on the net check out the internet archive. Some Web 1.0 sites are still alive. Get virtual box and Try some of the games from that time too.

My Uncle has a voice changer on his computer where you type words and it says things. It's so funneh

Imagine if Sonic and Mario were in a game together. Disgusting

I saw this scene, laughed, then got worried.
