retrogaming

Picked up a 19" at a garage sale for 5 dollars. Hadn’t realized it only had an RF input until I got the sucker home, just wondering if anyone has adapter recommendations or tips for picture quality?

Stuff that, back when you were in the economic clutches of your parents, you could but dream of having....

In my search for the ultimate retro gaming machine I’ve been surprised by the limited options when it comes to controllers for iOS and android. While there are plenty of controllers that you can clip your phone onto in landscape orientation, I haven’t seen any that are designed to play in portrait mode. I see several...

I’m a big gameboy person despite never owning an actual game boy, I just like the games from there more then modern games. Started playing the Pokemon series for the first time, starting with Blue....

And what category does the PS2, Wii, Xbox, Nintendo DS/3DS fit into? They aren’t retro, but they’re not really “modern” either...

I finally got some display cases for my pokemon collection!...

Thought I would start a thread and get some traction for this community. What are some of your favorite retro games? My favorite is Super Mario Bros 3.

Hey all! I’m trying to get “Star Trek: The Next Generation — A Final Unity” up and running on my PC. I’ve never ventured into the DOS emulation scene before, so this is all new to me....

How is it?

I became interested in this genre after watching a youtuber cover a few FMV adventure games inspired by Vampire: The Masquerade. A google search turned up no results so I wanted to ask the community here for recommendations....

And what category does the PS2, Wii, Xbox, Nintendo DS/3DS fit into? They aren’t retroz but they’re not really “modern” either

by far my favorite console of all time since i first got it, i love pretty much everything on it. someone actually ported a game to the gamecube in the modern day (albeit it needs Swiss, a homebrew app to run) and it’s just so cool to see that it refuses to die

I’m searching for this pinball simulation for android. Does anybody know IF it exists and where to get it?...

Not labeling and dynamically changing the price of games sucks the fun out of buying. And just makes me want to buy online. Grumpy grump grump.

How long does it take for a properly working Nintendo DSi softmodded with Twilightmenu++/nds-bootstrap to load a game from the SD card? It seems to take nearly a minute to load a game for me. Everything works perfectly, it just seems to take a stupidly long time to get through the nds-bootstrap process (the first load of a game...

I don’t know if its the right Lemmy community to ask but I thought its worth a try haha....

I could list a bunch of general YTers that cover retro games among other gaming topics, but for those who mainly cover retro games I like Big Ole Words, Hungry Goriya, and Video Works.

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...

I’ve been trying to get into playing some old games I’ve either missed out on or have completely forgot I’ve even played. I now find myself wanting to play games from SNES and the Gameboy line and can’t settle down on which handheld to play all these games on....

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....

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.

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?

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....
