Are there any games you've always wanted to play but can't because you don't own the only device they run on?

[pauringu]

the star wars trilogy arcade cabinet. among various other arcade only experiences. haven't played it since '98

 

[monochromeorange]

What's ps1 mode?

all the settings low including resolution, results in ps1 like graphics... sometimes even worse

 

[Xdqwerty Xdqwerty]

Lots of them

 

[ATenderLad]

Lightgun games! I have a CRT, with some systems hooked up, but it's only good for VHS tapes really, and attempts to pop it open and make some changes have mostly just threatened my dumbass life.

 

[Pinballbuzzbro]

Arkham City armored edition and Kirby and the Rainbow Curse

Astrobot too ?

Yup, but not many. A few years ago I couldn't play nor emulate PS2, until I got the console. Soon I could easily emulate ps2 on my current pc but still play it sometimes on the og console, nothing beats og hardware. There are a few games for X360|PS3 that I can't emulate and I don't have the console yet, those games are:
* Condemned II: Bloodshot [X360|PS3]
* Silent Hill Downpour [X360|PS3]
* Shadows of the Damned [X360|PS3]
* Splatterhouse [X360|PS3]
* COD Black Ops II (Won't run on my pc, gonna have to play the X360 version)
* Rise of Nightmares [X360 Kinect Exclusive]
* Golden Axe: Beast Rider [X360|PS3]
* Gunvalkyrie [XBOX Exclusive]
* Dino Crisis III [XBOX Exclusive]
* Blood Wake [XBOX Exclusive]
* Breakdown [XBOX Exclusive]
* Classified: The Sentinel Crisis [XBOX Exclusive]
* The Calling [WII Exclusive|Requires WIImote]
Those are pretty much the games I cannot play right now, as soon as I got my X360 I would be able to play almost all of them, using XBOX backwards compatibility. I would like to play the Uncharted trilogy for ps3 but not my cup of tea. Then there are newer PC games that won't run properly on mine. Fortunately, I am able to play 95% of the games I want, and that's amazing.

I also have a CRT, all I need is a light gun but my crt is failing a lot. You can play light gun games on emulator using mouse and it's a good experience IMHO, but the ideal way of playing them is on a crt with the gun

Thankfully, I don't like many current gen games

For me it would Final Fantasy 16 and Xbox 360 exclusive games.


Sadly my laptop is too weak for it at the moment.

 

[Jacko the Lantern]

My current life goals are the following:
1# Move out and get an own house or apartment
2# Drivers license and a car
3#

4# girlfriend (else boyfriend)

I'd like to try the Otogi Games

But I don't own anything XBox or have a PC that can emulate it.

 

[RetroLaw]

Had to play the inferior ps2 version and it crashes on emulation (others seem to have had the same issue )

 

[Pockets]

I do own an Xbox, but the $400 price tag for the Steel Battalion controllers plus the game itself have kept it out of reach for years and I just can't justify spending that much money on one game.

Alternatively, a ton of light gun games. I'm hoping to pick up a Sinden light gun at some point.

 

[CaptainToad]

The arcade-only release/remake of Mr. Gimmick on the exa-arcadia. I love the Famicom game so much. Maybe it'll get dumped on MAME some day . . .

This reminded me of Senxin Aleste, another modern arcade exclusive I wish would get ported or dumped.

what the heck never heard of that one

 

[Logi]

Gravity Rush

 

[Kid Dynamite]

The latest Switch titles.

 

[OverTheMoon]

Bloodborne and the original Demon's Souls.

The Last Guardian. I hope that Ueda's new project comes to PC because it looks incredible even from the teaser alone which I feel is gameplay footage in it of itself.

This one just hurts

At the moment, this is what comes to mind until I have a PC powerful enough to run a PS3

 

[Deleted member 288390]

I've been watching an LP of Fire Emblem Three Houses, and it looks cool, but I think it's only on Switch. I do not have a Switch.

 

[Prism_Red]

Well I'm the kind of guy who's willing to shell out outrageous amount of money if it means I get to play on original hardware so....
All the light gun games, I still have not found a way to smuggle Sinden Lightgun into the country.

 

[Tbest25]

Nier automata. Gonna try it on my ok notebook, see if even runs lol

 

[7eve70rd]

I've been convinced I'm missing out on Gravity Rush 2.
