retrogaming

So I assume many of us have played some games for the first time long after their release date. Like, maybe you didn’t have a specific console growing up so we didn’t play the “classics” on it, or something....

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:...

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

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.

I don’t see many posts here about the N64 and it doesn’t look like there is an N64 community on lemmy.world It’s the console I have the most nostalgia for and I have over 130 games in my collection.

The long one was called Hero. Ain’t that the truth.

I’ve been revisiting some classic Playstation 1 games, and many of them hold up....

I’m sure everyone knows Retronauts, the awesome & long running Retro Gaming Podcast. Hey their website has some cool articles. Right now Stuart Gipp has a series of short reviews for all the games on the Sega Game Gear. It’s not complete yet, but it makes for a good resource if you’re looking for things to try on that...

I love my Ayn Odin. There are great emulators on Android but also a ton of native games with controller support. With a Play Pass subscription ($30/year) and Netflix Games (which I’m paying for anyway), I have everything I need and the battery last 6h+....

I love his videos, they’re my usual workout “podcasts”. New one is about the 8BitDo controllers, I’ve been lurking about the ultimate one, I’ll finally know if it’s worth it

My first love was the ZX Spectrum, but my first salacious affair was with the Sega Master System, many years later....
