got a local library/bookstore that has a "take our free shit" window. They had 4 ds games there today, mint condition, like spotless stuff. 99% durability on those babys.

I hate to tell you but Wii is retro too

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 3 months ago

Just 2 more years and Playstation 3 will be retro, if the requirement is being 20 years or older.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 months ago

Considering I received my first one nearly twenty years ago, yes

well, i certainly am alive, i think, so that should count for something

[-] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago

Oh no watch out for kangaroos while you learn German. I know I know, watch out for Chamois though

[-] Sakychu@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

Wow even still with manuals, nice find!

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 months ago

At first I’m like “well my R4 has like every game”

Then I thought “oooOOOo manuals!”

[-] Bananobanza@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Wow, orcs and elves is actually a great find!

That and Fighting Fantasy where, perhaps, the best first person fantasy games on the system.

[-] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

yee, orcs and elves was the shit

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

There's a Avatar game? Can I get the ROM for Lemuroid?

[-] piyuv@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Tons but none of them are good, sadly. Low quality cash grabs

[-] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

actually, there is even more, gba, ps2, choose your platform and youll find one

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Which is the one you got? Which has the best features?

[-] umbraroze@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Oh yeah, Orcs & Elves, one of my absolute favourite games for the DS!

[-] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago

Orcs and Elves was a fun romp. It was hilarious when you tried to rip the dragon off instead of properly haggling and she just straight up fucking burns you

[-] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

man, i wish i knew dungeon crawlers better, id love to play more quaints ones like that

[-] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

In terms of Orcs and Elves? Unique.

There was fighting fantasy, Etrian Odyssey, The Dark Spire and ...deep labyrinth (if you want to get REALLY niche)

Edit: Maze of fate. Another niche as hell one

[-] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

Ill check em out, thanks

But let me elaborate what I meant still

The game never took itself too seriously (drunken dwarfs ghosts are a good example)

The dragon bartering was super fun

Combat was simple but fun(im a smootbrain now, I like simpler stuff)

[-] Dark_Dragon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

In the future. If we find current games. When booted up. "Failed to connect to server" and the game is good as dead.

DER HERR DER

  • An Ugly American

I've got two theories as to what that poster was trying to say:

Der Herr Der = Durr Hurr Durr

Or:

Der Herr Der = reference to "Die Bart, Die"

But as to the real meaning: Der Herr Der Elemente = The Master Of Elements

[-] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago

this is like looking at a scholar, discovering new sacred texts, trying to explain it to a filthy commoner (like me), while the commoner stares blankly at the bewildered scholar trying to elborate

[-] 5oap10116@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Yeah so Der Herr Der is master/lord of the in German, and as an ugly American, I was making fun of how it sounds funny. Sucks to explain such a simple joke...

[-] LaserTurboShark69@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

Ah I see now, I didn't read the subtitle of the avatar game lol. I thought you were leaving a weird angry comment

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

It's euro-peen for "ableism + america bad."

OH but even better these games appear to be PAL, meaning decidedly not American. Guessing Germany from the German text. So hurr durr right back to him.
