Any Retro Gaming Enthusists?

Sure, everybody and their cousin had an NES growing up, but how many of you actually kept it around? I collect retro games as a hobby, and currently have a ton of different systems and games. I just think that it is ridiculous to think that just because a game is older that it somehow loses its entertainment value. I love exploring gaming's past, and showing pele that you can have just as much fun with old systems as you can with newer ones. Some of my favorite systems:

Sega Dreamcast

SNK Neo-Geo Pocket Color

Nintendo Gamecube

Sega Saturn

So, are there any other retro gamers here? What are your favorite systems? :)

I have the Atari Classic Game disk. It comes with Pong, Asteroids, Missile Command, Centipede, Gravitar (my favorite), and many other other arcade games. I also have the original Nintendo, although I really don't play those games anymore. The oldest retro game I'd like to get my hands on is Mattel Football from about 77.

Yes and no. I don't have the actual systems anymore, but I run the emulators on my pc. I'm especially fond of the SNES, it had a fantastic selection of RPG's.

The first systems I came into contact with were the Nintendo 64 and Gameboy Color. I still have both along with the Gameboy Advance and Gamecube. I don't play them very often anymore, but I still think they are all good systems. They're much better than any of the current systems in my opinion.

I don't have any idea where my original NES is, but i do still have all my games, controlers, and lightgun.

I also owned a Sega Genesis that i bought with my own money when i was little but i have no idea where it disappeared off too. I never found it as fun as my nintendo.

Also got a Game Gear randomly from an Aunt or Uncle but i dont remember it being very fun either. I think it's down under all the NES junk lol.

Got a Playstation 1 for Xmas back in '97, thats the last time i can actually remember being surprised by a gift. Gave it to my brother some years later and i think he lost it, or sold it... Its probably in the same place as my old NES is now lol

Despite all that loss I still have:

Original Game Boy

Super Nintendo

Color Gameboy

Nintendo 64

Gameboy Advance

Gamecube

Nintendo DS

Wii

PS2

PS3

PSP

Xbox 360

And they are all hooked up and/or ready to play at a moments notice :D

not sure the Xbox should count for me as a game console tho. i never wanted one, It just came free with the TV i wanted to buy a few years ago. dont think i have played any games on it at all... but it makes an awesome DVD player :P

I can sure understand this. I have

NES

Gamecube with Gameboy and Gameboy Advanced Attachmen.

Wii

PS2

PS3 (with PS1)

Gamecube

PC

I rarely play video games anymore. I guess my age has caught up to me. The one console I will buy eventually will be Sega Genesis. That is because Road Rash is one of my favorite games.

The oldest systems I own are a NES, SNES and original Gameboy. I used to live with a guy who had Ataris and Spectrums and all sorts. It's so funny playing a game via a cassette tape instead of a cartridge! And the loading time... wow. But Jumping Jack and Bubble Bobble and stuff like that are way more fun and have a better longevity than half the games now. Back then they were made to entertain, not be played and then tossed aside ready for the next version.

Grumble grumble, gaming rant over :rolleyes:

I used to play old games like nes on emulators, but it got kinda old. Probably due to most games not having the save feature. But the two older games i really liked were the Earthbound games.

Anyone remember the Turbo-Duo? It was, I believe, the first CD based video game system, and my god, was it ever slow. There was a fantastic RPG out for it though, and I wish I could remember what it was called.

Well My old Pong Game finally gave out and I haven't seen my Atari game system or Mattel's Intellivison system in years.

I miss Space Invaders!

Look, here comes the elder, he talks floppy disks

As he would say, you're all wimps.

Retro, huh! Nothing beats the original Colossal Cave, the original Star Trek, the original Rats. All played on a TI thermal paper terminal (silent 700 or the improved 735) where the phone was cradled in behind it, at 300 baud. Now that took real dedication.

Ah the glory days of the old TI99-4A or Atari 800XL, a TV, and a casette recorder. What a life!

LOL, you got me beat, but in my earliest years I had a TRS-80, or more affectionately, the Co-Co 3 (color computer 3), by Tandy. I had to load all my games from a cassette drive on that too, with the exception of Dungeons of Daggorath, which was in cartridge form. I didn't always have the cassette drive though, and prior to that, if I wanted to play anything, I had to code the whole program in, line by line, every single time I turned it on. Now THAT'S dedication lol, especially for an 8 year old.

Guest ChloëC

Sort of a cool story here. When I got the TI99-4a for my family, it had a slot for cartridges. TI wanted all the money themselves so they wouldn't release the code for compatibles, that's why it died. But I bought the Assembly Language cartridge, didn't really get into it, but my 12 year old son glommed onto it and learned it - maybe 64k memory or less, you couldn't do much but he did it all. Anyway, we dumped that and I bought an Atari 800XL, lots more compatible games and programs, and an easy way to get into the 6502 processor, which he really learned, which was the precursor to the Motorola 68000 which Apple used, and he then knew the basic stuff. He's now a big time kernal programmer, but about twice a year Apple still calls him asking him to work for them.

Granted, maybe knowing the 10,000 or so moves in World of Warcraft won't get you hired, but if you take the time to learn what's behind it, there may be a future.

I'm pretty sure the game you are thinking of is Ys. I agree; it is a really fun game! It has a great soundtrack, too.

I'm too young to have had an NES or an Atari. My oldest system is a Super Ninentendo (still have it). But I'd LOVE to collect all the old systems and games! ^_^ I've played emulators on my PC, but actually having the real thing would be awesome. I'm a big retro enthusiast, in general, and dream of one day having a place and collecting all kinds of '80s stuff. :blush: ---> (I'm a geek)

They came out with a new concept a few years ago with a system called the FCtwin it has slots for both the Nes and Snes carts . I picked one up as my old Nes died years ago. What upset me is just after I got the FCtwin they came out with a FCtri that has slots for NEs Snes and Sega Genesis carts.I have always enjoyed the rpg games the best ,but still make sure I get each new year of Madden Football each year. Also nothing wrong with kicking some zombie butt in the ever popular Resident Evil series.

Systems I own are

Fctwin

Gameboy sp

Gamecube with gameboy player atachment

Snes with super game boy

PS1

PS2

PS3 with backwards compatability( plays PS1, PS2)

Wii

I still have my old black and white gameboy. Actually my teenage kids think it's dead cool which I'm surprised about. They keep asking to borrow it.

Also although I don't play it and am not sure I even remember how to set it up I still have my grandpas old BBCB. It was my first ever experience of computer games and I spent many a weekend with him painstakingly working our way through 'grannys garden' and 'repton'. Also spent hours on end on 'strikers run' (a war game which my grandpa DIDN'T like so much). I found a PC version of repton a few months ago when my grandpa died. It was sort of a way to honour the time we'd spent together. Again, my kids think it's awesome!

They should bring out more retro games for PC coz I think if they packaged them right there'd be a big market among the younger generation as well as us oldies who remember them from out childhoods.

I've had Atari, NES, SNES, Genesis, Dreamcast, Gamecube, PS, PS2, PS3, Xbox, Xbox 360, PSP, Gamboy (Original/color/advance/ds)

My favorite retro game was/is Metroid. What's cooler than getting to the end and finding out your player character is a woman!? :D

I also really liked Earthworm Jim and Battletoads.

Link to comment

I'm a bit of a retro gamer. I play a mix of the old along with the new, but I always appreciate a new game that draws its inspiration from the best of the classics.

Monster Tale for Nintendo DS is a relatively new game that draws upon Metroid.

Radiant Historia is another recent DS game that feels like it belongs between Zelda LTTP and Chrono Trigger.

Etrian Odyssey 1, II and III are all deeply based upon old vector dungeons and Wizardry. The Dark Spire as well.

DS and PSP have been a great source for these games. Enjoying the newer take on Street Fighter on 3DS along with Dead or Alive and Samurai Warriors, but a big selling point of the 3DS was indeed that I would still get to enjoy my DS games on it. That and a lot of old favorites getting the 3D treatment.

I like all the nintendo & sega games... zelda, mario, sonic, etc. etc.

Right now I'm playing donkey kong country returns & sonic 4 on wii and they're retro-tastic =) I'm not a big fan of 3d games... I like watching them, but not playing them -- weird? hahaa

I still have my dad's NES, along with a bunch of games (Like Monopoly! Why did they even make that?), and Nintendo's handheld consoles as far back as GameBoy Color. I think we have a PS1 around here somewhere too. I keep wanting to go back and play games I haven't finished yet.

Im not as retro as most of you, our ealier console was an Atari not sure what it was called but had cart games, after that master system, megadrive, NES. and then saturn, PS1 and N64 and since my siblings and I have bought ps2's a few game cubes, and an xbox 1. i managed to find a dreamcast as our breif play of one was hailed as a good memory. but it died some time ago, still though speed devils :D Shemue!

Woot Dreamcast!, and Gamecube i loved them systems, currently i play xbox 360 alot as i dont have a tv and my net access is really restricted lol.

but im gonna list a favorite game on each of the consoles ive played. :D

Atari - SKate Boardin ( i think it was called)

NES - Duck Hunt because i sucked at Megaman, mario and them other ones.

Dreamcast - Shemue! or resident evil code veronica

Playstation 2 - Metalgear solid 3 snake eater or SIlent hill 3

X Box - lol Halo (shhh i know but it was amazing back then!)

Game Cube- this one is HARD, so ill settle for Resident evil reborn, legend of zelda the wind waker, TIme splitters 2, Resident evil 4

Gameboy color: Pokemon red

Game Boy advance/sp, Legend of zelda minish cap.

current gen,

PS3 MEtalgear solid 4 guns of the patriots or Heavy rain ( not played uncharted yet, and God of war doesnt interest me)

      https://apnews.com/article/title-ix-sexual-assault-transgender-sports-d0fc0ab7515de02b8e4403d0481dc1e7   The revised regulations don't touch on trans athletes; which I totally understand, as that's become a third rail issue and this is an election year.  But the other changes seem pretty sensible, and will obviously result in immediate right wing lawsuits.   Carolyn Marie

      They may win a few battles but not the war! as @Davie pointed out there is little truth if it full of lies, inconsistencies, and ignores evidence to the contrary. I saw this article earlier and have to agree here. Truth will win. This isn’t the first time this tactic has been tried. Always stick with the truth!

      Welcome @violet r! Glad you joined our forum and got through the hardest part…that first post. As many have mentioned, we are more than accepting here as we affirm your gender identity and hold no judgement, whatsoever. There’s so much here on this forum, I think you’ll find very helpful. If you have trouble finding an answer just reach out, try the search but starting a new thread is usually best to get some quick answers. Many are here for various transgender related issues but many, if not all, are here to help one another if we can. It’s great to have you onboard.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      good evening   good day at work today.  I did do some things a little out of normal but everything was completed successfully.  As I said earlier, the Asst Mgr was my second today.  I don’t think she was too happy about that.  Several customers asked her where Richard was her answer was the manager cut his hours.  Well that is only part of the story,  his hours were cut just like mine were and several others but in his case he made demands about his hours that couldn’t be met.  But instead of making some non complaining remark about it she made sure to lay it all on the manager, thus throwing the manager under the bus.  Similarly when asked why she hadn’t been at work early mornings, she said she was being punished by the manager.  Well that’s partly true, she wouldn’t do what the manager told her to do so she took her off opening.  But secondarily she didn’t have a car to drive temporarily.  You can’t open the store without a car because who ever opens has tasks that require them to leave the store, so it was  at least partly her own fault.  But she chose to throw the manager under the bus for that.  I think she is asking to be fired for insubordination.  And if the manager gets these conversations off the security tape tomorrow she just might get her wish.   im pretty close to being ready to take the asst position but there isn’t anyone ready to take over my job, at least not at our store.  I suppose the other shift lead could if she is able to work earlier shifts and if the other closers were just a bit more reliable.   Ive been wanting some homefried chicken.  We found a BBQ place not far away that had such a chicken but I is made fresh when ordered so it has a 30 minute wait.  It was worth the wait and the other things we tried were also good.  Another restaurant on the list.  At least half of what we ordered came home for another meal.   i get to sleep in tomorrow, I go to work at 1:30!   Willow

      It was nine thirty.  Saturday morning had rolled around more quickly than Taylor could believe.  She groaned, whined, thought of a million excuses why she should just stay in bed and knock the alarm across the room.  But it would still be going on, and so would the promise to Bob: when the gi came in, she would be in. There it was in its nice package, out where she could not miss it.  Why didn't she hide it?  She shook her head.   Up she got.  Sometimes you just do.  Her hair was a wreck. She patted it down and went to the bathroom.  Nine forty five. Shower later. No make up. She hated kara-tay especially at an ungodly early hour on a Saturday morning. Bagel. Instant coffee.  She was five minutes away when she realized she had forgotten the gi.  Back she went.   Into the dojo.  She had about five minutes to get the gi on.  She attempted to slip in unnoticed and go to the little restroom. Someone barked something out in Japanese or something, and there was a dead silence.  She turned to see what was going on. Both classes were getting into their lines, but everyone, including Bob, was bowing slightly. To her. Bob nodded, and she returned the bow.  Life started again. She was touched.   Bowing three times. Oath. Kata.  She was facing off with Judy as her partner.  Judy looked worried.   "Sometimes you just gotta pick yourself up and try again," Taylor told her. She nodded. "Let's do this."   Lunge punch and lower block.  They traded off like nothing had happened the last weekend.  Lunge punch and middle block. Lunge punch and upper block.  It was kind of like dancing. Taylor enjoyed it.  She wanted to learn more.  Brown-belt Maggie adjusted position of limbs and hips for both Taylor and Judy, telling them when she was about to do something: elbow up a bit".    "How'd you do?" Bob asked her later.  They had both gone home and showered. Now they were in a booth at a fast food place.   "I was kind of disappointed class ended. I was ready for more."   "That's my trooper."   "I'm not allowing you in my apartment until we are married," she said suddenly.   "You think I am a problem?"   "No.  I think you are safe. You passed the test  I am the problem here."   "Okay."   "What did the doctor tell you?"   "It's complicated.  More tests coming.  Like getting into college.  I got a letter back.  It seems there is this big fat M on my transcript and my current picture is not an M type picture.  I have to write a letter and send them notarized proofs and stuff. Just delays. This is a pain. Nothing cut and dried."   "I will say.  I'm glad I'm not transgender."   "Hah. You are pulled into my world.  You are involved in this stuff as much as I am, and, as you put it, of your own free will."   "You are worth it."   "I hope so."   "I know so."

      On the way back to her desk she was interrupted by six short, urgent conversations that had to be attended to. Then she slipped into the women's room and locked the stall door.  She took a deep breath, then another, and allowed herself to shake for five minutes,  Then deep breathing, ten in and ten out, stretch up, touch the floor, neck rolls and she was fine. She used the toilet and a woman knocked and said, "Taylor, are you okay?"   "Ready to conquer the world!"  on her way out she found her makeup was fine.  Three stalls, two sinks.  If she ever designed a women's room with three stalls, there would be four sinks, with plenty of space to plunk your stuff down between them.   She met a deferential Karen.  "Here is the branding I came up with," she said.  And she went back to working as hard as Brenda and Mary, who looked up worriedly and then went back to the proposal.   Shortly before 5:00 she received an email with the title Consolidation and Compensation.  In it she learned that the position of office manager was eliminated, and the current office manager was to become the chief executive officer. The former CEO, along with the CFO, the chief legal officer, and sundry staff, had been terminated, per the Board of Directors.  Effective immediately everyone would receive a base salary of $20,000 with a commission to be set by the individual's supervisor.  Each supervisor would be given a certain percentage to distribute.  Most functions they had been handled would be outsourced as needed.   "The question of what profit was made last year is frequent enough to be answered.  The company lost over 500,000 in fiscal 2023.  At this point further cuts are not anticipated.  We will be strategically adding positions that will enhance our profits. Hard work is expected of everyone."   Her two web guys had been complaining because their games had been remotely uninstalled.  After the memo came out they were absolutely silent.  That gave her an idea, and after an exchange of emails they were reassigned to maintenance out at the plant, effective tomorrow morning.  There were lots of weeds that needed pulling, if nothing else. That email went out after they left early, for the day.  The maintenance foreman was a no-nonsense type who did not tolerate slacking, and they would learn a thing or two.  This also freed up two spaces for her to put new people.

      So…I didn’t know your Facebook avatar was public. So, on my birthday, a couple people used a group avatar message to wish me a happy birthday…and now my Facebook friends can see a short video of my female avatar dancing with an old friend’s and another with my uncle’s avatars. So am I “Facebook out” now? 😬

      No, they are not. Truth wins in the end and this report is full of lies that poison the whole thing: see this: "Dr. Cass Backpedals From Review: HRT, Blockers Should Be Made Available it's said. Dr. Cass's latest statements are likely to cast more doubt on the validity of the study, which has come under fire for disregarding substantial evidence on trans care." https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/dr-cass-backpedals-from-review-hrt?publication_id=994764&post_id=143743897&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true I hope Dr. Cass wins The Mengele Award for it.

      Boyfriend and I went to a support group for spouses dating or married to a transgender person on Tuesday night for the first time.It was amazing meeting other couples like us.One was a genetic woman whom has been dating a transgender male for the first time and she is supporting his transition.Us,they were amazed by us agreeing on something we said,love and acceptance have brought us together
    • Abigail Genevieve
      By which I mean there is a cultural stereotype of what a man is, and one of what a woman is.  Even worse, of what a transgender person is.   You be you.   I read of a boy who thought he was a girl because he did not adhere to some (rather toxic) conceptions of what it means to be a man, so he decided he was a girl.  He was told he didn't have to conform to stereotype and got happy. "You mean I don't have to transition?" He didn't want to, and was relieved.   Once upon a time if you were transgender they told you either you transition or die.   Incorporate the best of what it means to be a man and the best of what it means to be a woman as much as you possibly can, and let the rest go.  Be fully human. Be alive. Don't conform to some cultural crud.

Success to the successful thistle sifter!
