retrogaming

when did you get it and why? how often do you use it?...

So when I was a kid in the 80s, I would always get SUPER excited for getting a new game....

What have you been playing and hows it going? Anything got you stuck? What high score are you going for? is this the first, second, (n+1) play-through?...

As I get older, I find I have no interest in playing the cutesy/silly games that are everywhere on retro consoles (obviously, they were targeted towards kids). But I also don’t have the patience for survival horror games like the resident evil or silent hill series. I’m just looking for a fun spooky game that I can jump into...

A callback to the PS3 early days.

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 ◾️

I figure it will be a good thing to throw onto a wish list for whatever holiday is coming next. In a perfect world, it would run a Linux-based OS, be moddable, have decent ergonomics for an adult, and kinda just generally not suck. Is a hundred bucks a reasonable price point? One hundred fifty? I grew up in the 8-bit and 16-bit...

I’ve spent four hours playing Rage today via the Xbox Series backwards compatibility. (Is it emulation or real hardware?)...

This was such a fun game. The premise is so simple but works so well. Staying ahead of the baddies is like an exciting puzzle. It was even better playing single screen multiplayer with a buddy....

I’m focused on NES, SNES, N64, Master System, and Genesis at the moment. I’ve just about reached the end of the cheap NES games and bought an Everdrive N8 Pro earlier this year. Mainly for ROM translations and homebrew, but I will admit to playing some of the higher dollar games on it. I’d much rather play actual carts...

I’ve been buying games off of eBay before I’ve ever owned a credit card, and its web page could render on a PSP. Over the years I’ve purchased consoles, rare games, and common guff for my game library with virtually no issues....

I’ve heard people say it is therapeutic to reflect on your actions and interactions with others....

Besides the official Atari channel, that is.

Apologies if fan art of retro games isn’t welcome....

Hey there, I have been dancing around some games for the Steam Sale. I know it's goofy as they're pocket change, but I really like to have a curated and minimal library of games. So the three I have been dancing around are the three listed. And figured there'd be no better place to ask than here. I like to play some retro games...
