retrogaming

Hello all,...

Keep in mind, we didn’t thrown them gently.

Joust is the perfect arcade game. Discuss....

1983 CVC Gameline hardware, one of the earliest examples of online gaming technology.

“Sega Channel was a project developed by Sega for the Sega Mega Drive video game console. Completely revolutionary at the time of release (bar a failed attempt with the earlier Intellivision console), it was a method capable of streaming digital content to Mega Drive owners through cable television.”

Some of these prices are a little rich for my blood, but this label I recently found specializes in gaming OST’s from genres that are kind of all over the place. NES Ninja Gaiden, Arcade King of Fighters '98, Panzer Dragoon…...

(figured I’d ‘do my part’ and make my first Lemmy post…!)...

Playing the Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES) on my MiyooMini whilst my wife surfs - a great way to spend an evening!

I am an avid retro gaming fan. I mostly play JRPG games like Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger but recently I’ve had very little time to enjoy big, complicated games. I am looking for recommendations for retro games that can be played over a longer peroid of time, but don’t require a big time investment (re-) learning the...

I recently got an Xbox Series X, and naturally I wanted to go back and enjoy some of the 360 titles that I played as a teen. For once, I feel like I did not miss the boat on buying these games at a decent price. Everybody talks about how cheap SNES and N64 carts used to be, but I wasn’t into retro gaming then, so all I’ve...

Just like the title says, have NES game prices peaked or is likely to continue going up for the foreseeable future.

The humble cartridge is an icon in video game history. But where did it come from? Learn the story behind the first programmable home console - the Fairchild Channel F - and the team behind it. Why couldn’t Fairchild capitalize on this revolutionary idea and why did the Channel F console fade into obscurity?

I'm using my wife's Nintendo Switch Pro controller and I'm gonna lay in bed all day playing games.

Im thinking of connecting an Xbox one controller using a phone controller mount. What are the best front ends/backends to use?

The long one was called Hero. Ain't that the truth.

Stumbled upon an old video clip (from 1983) showing a coin operated game called “Herpes”, no joke....

Users of the latest batch of Analogue’s Mega SG are reporting they are unable to jailbreak it using SmokeMonster’s custom firmware, despite using different capacities and brands of full size SD card.(myself included)...

Here is where I am at. Live in an apartment so space is tight and needed everything to be able to move into the closet. I’ve got SNES, N64, Wii mini, Sega Genesis, PS2, a vcr, receiver and stereo speakers, Extron switcher, and playing them all on a Sony PVM14L5. The rack is from Amazon and most are hooked up via RGB.

The best rendition? Probably.

My title of choice would probably be Daggerfall because it’s just so ambitious and truly offers an experience none of the other elder scrolls games offer. That being said it is kinda an example of a sequel eclipsing it’s predecessors as well given it is more or less a straight improvement over Arena in every way.
