What are your favorite retro PC games?
For me, it was the game Rocket Jockey released by Sega Soft in '96. It was perfect. The game featured a surf rock soundtrack by Dick Dale. The entire premise of the game was to ride around on rockets and using long cables to yank your opponents off theirs. Referees were also fair play. I don’t think I’ve met anyone else who...

What is the oldest game you still like playing today?
The oldest game I still really enjoy is probably The Secret of Monkey Island for DOS (1990). I like classic NES games too but I don't really play them anymore....

Why is a Sega Saturn so expensive?
And why can’t I find it anywhere? I know it wasn’t very popular when it was out, but is there really a huge demand for it now? I remember 7 years so, I could walk into a retro game store and see a console for $45.
A Chronology of First CD-ROM Games (cdrom.ca)
I'm always seeing "first CD-ROM game" citations that are totally inconsistent, or which cite games like Myst, so I decided to put together a timeline of all the candidates - and ended up calling into question the point of "firsts" lists in the first place....

Want to buy a Nintendo DSi XL
As the title says, I am looking to buy a DSi XL (yes exactly that model) to add to my chandheld collection. What would be the best place to find some reasonably priced ones?
Miyoo Mini+ Durability?
I sold my original Mini as it eventually ended up sitting in a case in a drawer rather than actually being played, partly because the form factor was so small but mainly because of all the reports of broken fragile screens from short drops like 2ft onto carpet....
Is it worth it to restore an OEM GBA shell?
I have on my desk 2 OEM GBAs full stock, one was originally mine and in great condition, the other was off of ebay and is covered in micro scratches etc, is it worth restoring this shell at all or just replace it with an aftermarket one, theyre not exactly expensive
A combination of new and old: what makes it retro gaming? (kbin.social)
Is it the age of the game? Is it the generation of the console you play on? Is it a combination of the two?...

Questions about getting parts from eBay sellers
The people at retropocket.store have great products and it seems that i’ve stumbled on their ebay store. They are selling a GB Pocket Main boards that are either refurbished or completely rebuilt for a very reasonable cost. Does anyone on here have any experience with their work to recommend them as a parts supplier?
at what point do you draw the line for "retro"?
And what category does the PS2, Wii, Xbox, Nintendo DS/3DS fit into? They aren’t retroz but they’re not really “modern” either

So much nostalgia (i.imgur.com)
I just heard about and tried Prime Hack. It is pretty cool. It lets you play the prime games with keyboard and mouse, so it feels like a modern FPS. (forums.dolphin-emu.org)
I have only played with it for a few minutes as I am about to start work. But it seems really great so far. I need to look into the control scheme to learn some of the controls, but it was not difficult to figure out....
