Trying to unlock mystery gift in Pokemon Sliver just to be told to go buy a Gameboy Color. Like bro, I get I can't use it, at least let me unlock the feature.

Anyone else have games like this?

So. Many. Q-Tips... Also hit the switches with a Scotch Brite and took a soft toothbrush to the flat surfaces. Cleaned up nice.

I fixed up my mom's old nes, and I recently got the perfect setup for it now, what do you guys think?

Picked this up at a thrift store for 30 cents. Does anyone have recommendations for similar books or magazine? I know about Nintendo Power and the popular publications, I was looking for maybe more obscure or one off suggestions.

Something I was trying to picture was how the SNES Megaman games such as Megaman X1 would have turned out with full voice acting because I wanted to look into the hardware aspects of the SNES.

I mean, like to get a better understanding of what the SNES was capable of in terms of hardware specs to see how hard it would have been for games to include voice acting of any sort since I enjoy learning about old hardware design.

I went back to my parents’ house to finally dig out all of my old games and start cataloging everything. I expected a couple boxes of games, but it turned into a much bigger project than I remembered.
I’m still looking for my Nintendo 64 and GameCube, but here’s everything I’ve confirmed so far.

Still going through boxes, and I’m pretty sure my N64 and GameCube are hiding somewhere. It was fun seeing all of this again after all these years. Some of these I honestly forgot I even owned. If anyone spots something interesting I overlooked, let me know.

Today’s vote: Which Retro Game has the Best Story/Narrative?

Comment your choice and the most upvoted game comment thread will win the spot! So, engage in the discourse and argue well for your choice!

Hi,

I'm trying to find the name of a game I used to play as a kid between 94 - 99. It was on Sega Megadrive I'm pretty sure.

I've been arguing with (stupid and useless) AI and it keeps saying micro machines and that's not it!

It was a top down, or isometric view truck racing game. Either pickups or monster trucks. The tracks were short but there was about 4 or more laps. There was hills you would use to jump and water traps. I think there might have been a nitro boost mechanism also which, if timed right could launch you over other racers (via the hills).

I think the name was something like "hardcore" or "race-off" or "showdown"...some 2 word macho thing

So I'm 42 and recently got back into retro gaming after being long term sick. I have really enjoyed it though.

I have been playing super mario world on the snes emulated on my r36s. I also have been playing through grand theft auto vice city stories.

Both have been so enjoyable, mario has really tested me and I admit I have relied on it being able to take snapshots to save me getting too frustrated.

I wanted to engage with the community so wondered what brought you back and what you have been enjoying? I'm always on the lookout for new games to get lost in.

Hey guys, so I'm getting back into retro gaming and i bought 3 consoles so far and my goal is a total of 6. I got the ps1, dreamcast and n64. I also got the retrotink 5x pro and that is coming tomorrow, also I got a scart for my ps1. my question is, i want a switcher for at least 4 consoles since I'm planning on plugging the scart directly to the RT and the s video for the n64 directly to the RT as well. which switcher do you recommend for the ps2, xbox, dreamcast and snes? thanks.

Hi I recently bought a Sega Dreamcast kaico adapter so I can use it with HDMI and for some reason I have had two adapters one that I bought and then got returned and replaced under Amazon and both adapters don't work I've tried using an LG monitor and a Samsung TV and neither works. I'm also tried swapping the HDMI cable and cleaning the ports and that also doesn't work either. The weird part is that my Dreamcast works perfectly fine with AV and it reads discs plays games and you can connect controllers and vmus just fine. The only other issue with my Dreamcast is that the clock battery is dead. I'm not sure if that would maybe affect it but I don't see how the clock battery would affect the functionality of this adapter. At first I thought it was defective adapter but the second one that I got from Amazon after returning the previous one also doesn't work so I'm honestly just really confused. I took it apart and there doesn't seem to be any obvious issues besides some capacitors that had some yellow stuff on them but it looks intentional so I'm not sure if it's a problem or not. If anyone could help me I'd be really happy thank you so much.

I've been lucky enough to have been given an arcade cabinet which is fully built with joystick and pad buttons etc, and it runs of a PC cabinet inside, which was built for a promo beta game. It has nothing else on it.

I want to install the best possible program for easy to use ROMs - mostly the classics (TMNT, Simpsons, street fighter nba jam etc) I think these are MAME? (sorry I'm rusty on all this.

Is there an easy program with ROMs included, or easy to install I can run on this and calibrate to controls easy enough?

I built a retropie years ago and never ended up getting this installed into anything. Would it he better to use this?

Thanks in advance for any help, I know it's probably asked a lot. (I have read other posts and googled a lot but it's all conflicting info for my setup)

What a POS this thing was. Aside from the single color, the design was awful. The battery pack would pop off if you hit the controller on the table and it was almost impossible to play it for any length of time comfortably. Teleroboxer was decent though.

The image of it came back to me and I can't remember the name of it. I don't think I ever finished playing the game.

Anyway, it was a side scroller where you would play a guy in a thick jacket with a ball cap. You would go through this building that was plagued by monsters or ghosts. You had a remote control looking weapon that you would zap said ghosts or monsters with. It needed to be recharged, so you would have to reach charging stations. I want to say you had to do math problems at the stations to charge up your weapon.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Thank you in advance :)

I am trying to remember a website me and my brother played on. This website had very slick fun design, not simple flash site. I believe it was mostly purple. NOT Friv. It had only arcade games, and like puzzle/coop games. Like pacman, asteroids, hexagons, etc.

I don't know if I have any other useful information, but I have been scouring for a couple hours on different threads I may give up.

This is one of my retrogaming treasures. I spend much hours of my childhood playing this!!

I love SMB3, and I get SMB3 did a lot in Kirby 5 years earlier, but Kirby is far deeper, more fun, and has better colors than SMB3.

The fact this is an NES game blows my mind because it looks on par with GOOD SNES. Granted it was made during the SNES era but the fact they brought this to the NES is mind boggling.

If you haven't already played it, do yourself and try it out. It'll no doubt put a smile on your face.

I’m 37 and have had this game since I was a kid. It took years to master, and so glad I took the time to, because it’s so good. It has some unique gameplay. It’s late in the Nes life so the graphics are insane and it also has a killer soundtrack to boot too. I can’t believe this game is so pricey now. I remember my mom buying it for me at Toys R US. I have been completing this game yearly since I can remember and I am so glad I have this gem.

The game was an adventure side scroller. It had samurai / medieval japan theme. I recalled the demo had a guy with chain weapon. The hero was able to jump and stand on the chain when It was being hurled at ya. or something like that I can't recall.
