retrogaming

For those who enjoy the music of 8-bit games (and games styled after them).

I know most of this is common knowledge for most Sega nerds like myself but this was a really interesting write up. I can only dream what could have been if Sega made different decisions back then.

If anyone’s interested I’ve created a new community for retro computing. Come and talk old computers!

Last year, Digital Eclipse released Atari 50, a sprawling, interactive tour through Atari’s long history. I described it as “a cross between an interactive documentary and a virtual museum exhibition,” and it really set a new bar for retro game collections. Now, the studio is tackling another project: Karateka, the game...

Discovered this game a few years ago (it was released in 2012). For an extra challenge, try playing it on 60Hz NTSC mode :P

In late 2014, publisher Read-Only Memory released Mega Drive/Genesis: Collected Works, a history book covering the hardware, games and legacy of Sega’s 16-Bit system.

Today discovered this awesome game and wanted to share.

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....

Is it the age of the game? Is it the generation of the console you play on? Is it a combination of the two?...

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....

I just started Earthbound and am having a good time with it using RetroArch. Also enjoy playing some Gameboy tetris on the train....

Unofficial Myst port for 8-bit Atari 2600 gives the '90s adventure a '70s makeover.

Hello all,...

“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.”
