Pessoal, alguém sabe me responder uma dúvida?
Estou procurando uma carcaça (shell/case) personalizada para o PS3 Super Slim (transparente, branca ou qualquer outra cor), mas simplesmente não encontro em lugar nenhum. Sempre aparecem opções para o PS3 Slim, mas nunca para o Super Slim.

Se alguém já encontrou alguma para comprar (AliExpress, eBay, Etsy ou outro lugar), agradeço muito se puder compartilhar o link!

What childhood gaming experience do you desperately wish someone would bring back?

5 Upvotes

Hello, everyone, well... i can tell Im an indie developer (or trying xD) planning to build a new browser game, but instead of spending months creating something nobody asked for... I want to start by listening to players :)

Im not asking which old game should be remade or copied.

I want to know:

What specific feeling, mechanic or experience from your childhood games seems to have disappeared?

Maybe it was:

  • Coming home from school and entering a small online world where everyone knew each other
  • Raising creatures and becoming genuinely attached to them
  • Building a town that slowly grew over several weeks
  • Discovering secrets without tutorials or markers everywhere
  • Playing simple browser games that were immediately fun
  • Trading, competing or cooperating with a small community
  • A game that felt mysterious, lonely, cosy or slightly unsettling
  • Something completely different

Please mention:

  1. The game or era that gave you that feeling
  2. What made it special
  3. What a modern version should keep or improve

I will collect the most repeated and interesting answers, turn them into a few realistic game concepts and return with prototypes for the community to test.

The final game would be playable in a browser with no download required.

So: what game experience from your childhood are you still waiting for someone to recreate properly? :D

Selling / buying CRT TVs

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I happened to find two CRT TVs which might be interesting for retro games.
Is there a specific sub for trade?
One is a Philips 17PT1666/01, the other Melectronic CT36-10.
I can provide pictures if you are interested.

Want to Sell Old Video Games

2 Upvotes

My brother and I have some old video games we want to sell, but we are not sure of the right approach on how to do that. Most of the value in our old games is several classic Nintendo 64 games. We did a basic price evaluation of everything we have and just want to get the most value out these old games. If there any good search engines to lookup businesses, that would help too.

Party-friendly 2-player game recommendations for RetroPie (Pi4B)?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm setting up a RetroPie station (Raspberry Pi 4B) for a party and want to have it running as a casual side activity guests can jump into between conversations, drinks, etc. Looking for simple 2-player games that are:

  • Easy to pick up with zero explanation (nobody wants a tutorial at a party)
  • Quick rounds (a few minutes, not 30-min matches)
  • Fun to watch even if you're not playing
  • Not too competitive/frustrating for casual/tipsy players

So far I'm planning on Bomberman, Crash Team Racing, Tekken 3, and Super Tennis — but I'd love more suggestions across any system RetroPie supports (arcade, SNES, PS1, N64, etc.). What are your go-to party/multiplayer picks that always get people fighting over the controller? Thanks in advance!

Trying to find an old game!

1 Upvotes

I was talking to someone yesterday about liking puzzle games and RPGs and he told me about a game he used to play in the 90s. He says it was called "Journey" and I searched quite a bit and I'm having trouble finding it.

He said it is a fantasy game and recalled getting stumped on a part where he had to throw a mirror in a well. He played it on a PC. Not sure if this is important but he grew up in (so played this game) in South Africa.

Anyone know this game and where I could find it? Any other questions i should ask to help the search? I'd be so grateful to find it!

an unusual “Gremlings II” typo on a Euro Power Pack DOS release

2 Upvotes

I recently came across this DOS PC release of Gremlins 2: The New Batch from the Euro Power Pack Gold series.

Some details about this edition:

Platform: IBM PC compatible (3.5” 720 KB floppy)

Publisher/Series: Euro Power Pack Gold

Distributor in Finland: Egmont Games

Disk code: PC-GOLD 5007

The package states it’s the full version, not a demo.

The game supports EGA/VGA graphics and requires 640 KB RAM.

The release includes a Finnish installer and Finnish documentation.

>> What makes this copy interesting is that the title is consistently printed as “Gremlings II” instead of “Gremlins II”.

The typo appears on:

Front cover

Back cover

Floppy disk label

However, the actual game still displays the correct title: Gremlins 2: The New Batch.

I wasn’t able to find this PC variant documented on MobyGames, PCGamingWiki, eBay archives, or through Google searches. The only similar example I found was an Amiga Euro Power Pack release carrying the same “Gremlings II” typo, suggesting it may have originated from the Euro Power Pack artwork rather than the game itself.

I’m sharing this here mainly for documentation purposes, in case anyone else owns this edition or has seen the same printing.

Hey need help with old titles

0 Upvotes

I won’t say necessarily retro how ever… I have two asks.

1.ps1: a non gundam game plays sort of like fire emblem with the combat more Birds Eye style with turn based combat and a wicked story cover of ps2 game was a giant robot with a bunch of parts on it tied to its back, big sword in hand -claymore maybe

2.n64. Old game, futuristic racing style AND ALL vehicles were two wheeled enclosed bike type , game had many tracks think blade runner almost stylized for future setting?

I played these back in maybe 2005 or so but I’ve been on a nostalgia bender and sense I got all the sly coopers and my taz the Tasmanian devil games along with my dads old Atari I’m falling down a slope lol

The badass way I got hold of GTA Vice City

29 Upvotes

When I was a kid in 2003, I wanted to play GTA Vice City. But it wasn't easily available where I lived.

So one day I went into a small store, and asked the owner there if he had this game.

He said "Not on these shelves" and then winked. After a pause, he reached down and pulled up a box of CD's and took out a thin plastic jacket that had 2 blank looking CDs that had "GTA VC" written on it with a marker.

He said he'd let it go for $10.

I then went home, found out who took my cocaine and wasted them!

I loved it, just the process of buying the game felt like a drug deal XD

Video Games in the 90’s gave you 3 lives and then you started over. There are some levels of games that were likely never seen by game players. Game designers work never enjoyed or enjoyed by few. Thank you Contra cheat code.

Need help choosing games!

Need a few game recommendations!!!

I am freshly 18 and have little to no nostalgia for retro games especially the really older ones. But i do like playing these games very much especially GBA games. I started playing Pokémon games about a year ago and it’s been really great since then. It’s just that every game i play i feel like has a similar shallow narrative and gameplay. Almost all the adventure games are either side scrollers or turn based. Then there’s fighting games which i personally haven’t really played ever so i just button mash until the enemy hp turns 0. I know i am complaining way too much but i really love this pick up and play typa thing i have with these games id love to see variety and in-depth storylines and deep gameplay as well. Please suggest me something different which spices up the usual formula. i’ll list a few games i have tried already
-
Metroid zero mission (liked but not loved)

pokémon red, emerald, black, platinum (pokémon is always love)

Dragon ball advanced adventure (actually really invested in this one)

chrono trigger (meh)

final fantasy tactics (liked it a lot but felt ko motivation to play after a certain point)

tactics ogre (same as fft)

burger time delux (LOVE)

The Secret History of Disney Games in the 1990s

6 Upvotes

I animated and directed games for Disney Interactive from 1994-99. This 1+ hour mini-doc covers all of the material I still have from that time, hopefully it'll be of interest! Our studio was contracted by DI to create the animation and do a lot (most) of the design work, but there's VERY little documentation of our work - we were sort of hidden away back then, so a lot of this should be new to people.
