R-Type is the greatest game ever made, right? Right? No? Then get off my land, you pervert. It just is....

Not pictured: Bible Adventures. I know I had more but I must have traded some in. I for sure had Jaws and Jack Nicklaus Golf. And here’s the console. I replaced the 72 pin connector and she runs perfectly still. SO CLEAN inside. I couldn’t believe how spotless it was when I opened it up.
So…after watching latest Noclip video, I was having a bit of a Wipeout itch…I have a rather decent gaming computer, but I was wondering what would be the best way to play the wipeout series…was 2097 the best one? Is there a good way to get it running at decent resolution/effects these days?...
I’m doing steadicam operating on a TV show. My new (to me) 2DS is keeping me entertained when waiting for the next shot.
Please drop some links for the soldering irons y’all use, mine is apparently lost in my parent’s attic, and thinking of, probably too large for console modding....
I’m mostly thinking about 8 bit games, and NES in particular, but it was a thing that continued at least into the 16-bit consoles. There were a lot of games that come to mind that did the perspective shift, sometimes blending genres in the process. Stuff like:...
I played a little of it when I first got it, but then I heard that it’s better to patch it. So I joined the discord for it and figured I’d look into that later. Well later turned into years, eventually I left the discord server to make space for other servers and never did wind up going back to Arcanum....
Atomic Robo-Kid...
It came out around my birthday, so my mom had it pre-ordered for me as a gift from Babbage’s. I still remember her picking me up from school and telling me she had a surprise for me in the trunk.
Commando (released as Senjō no Ōkami in Japan, Wolf of the Battlefield) is a 1985 Capcom arcade shooter. Word to the wise: Commando isn’t based on the Schwarzenegger movie of the same name - that’s some false knowledge I’ve carried round with me for close to forty years… oh, how I’ve embarrassed myself at dinner...
I feel as if I’ve been hanging out at the arse-end of the 80s a lot recently, comparing ports on computers that had no business running them. I’ve long suspected that if you want to see 8-bit micros at their best, you’re better served hanging around in 1986 rather than 1989. Things were so much more achievable back then…...
Modern power module to replace the old rusty one, cleaned edge connector, fixed cracks in the case, new coat of paint, and metallic stickers.
Based on disassembly of the PC DOS version, this port runs on PC, Mac and Linux and features many enhancements such as quick saving and the ability to mod the game including level design.
This just popped up in a feed of mine, looks like an interesting project bringing retro games to new consoles. I guess I’m wondering what other’s think. Would you be willing to buy your old game again?
It took years grabbing these as they’ve popped up for decent prices, just recently grabbed V to finish it off. Wish III had been released as a GBA cart.
I don have a large budget so it will take me a while todo much. I don’t have my soldering iron back yet either....
Worms Armageddon: Anniversary Edition...
I feel like collecting for the Atari 2600 and while I have other systems like the Sega Genesis, I would like to have your input on what system you think goes well with it…maybe the Intellivision or Colecovision due to being within the same era as the woodgrain or black bread box?
Finally got it all set up just how I want it, sorta. Thinking of getting some button mods to make it more unique ◾️
The GameCube really is underrated.
3Ds doesnt feel like retro gaming…but it has been a while. I found this on a peertube instance, so figured this community might like it.
