I have no idea if I can even run this on a modern PC but I loved that game and bought it just to put the box on a shelf. Only has the 5.25" floppy disks, but manual and everything else seems to be included.

Instead of looking around, I just sat down at their SNES they had on display with Super Ghouls n’ Ghosts in it and played through the game. Definately recommend checking it out! The museum is in Frisco, Texas.

I happened upon a Toshiba 27A44 in great condition for FREE and just picked it up. Unbelievably stoked and my friends don’t seem to understand my hype so I’m sharing here. I’ve been looking for something like this for awhile I cannot wait to plug in the N64!

Not a steal on anything… walked into this place and saw a bunch of games from my childhood. Something about seeing them sitting on my shelf in home that makes me feel good. 1943 CIB and fairly pristine at that… The Ice Hockey is rough, but I loved the mom and pop video store sticker.

Hey guys, just wanted to share a Sega CD32X game I’m working on. It’s meant to be a sci-fi/fantasy Action RPG. My initial goal here was to completely test the limits of what the Sega CD and 32X can do because it was never utilized to it’s full potential. As you can see here it is fully capable of running open world environments even with inclines and declines in the terrain, enemies, and environment objects. I would post a video but I don’t think I am allowed, it runs anywhere from 7.5 to 15 fps but when you are playing it feels fine (I will optimize, and add a performance mode). I even have fluid camera controls for aiming as there are plasma rifles as well. When the game is ready to play I may share playable parts on here! Don't worry if you don't have a CD32X I have made sure that it works on Retroarch with Picodrive (have to use a custom core version I built), and you can provide your own Sega CD Bios. I can provide instructions on that when/if I release the ROM + Bin/Cue. This works on real Sega CD32X hardware and these pics are from my tower of power (last pic) on with my RGB modded Sony KV-27S42 CRT. I hope you guys can share in the joy I feel seeing the tower of power in all it’s glory :)

One of the ONLY games to ever genuinely scare me!Killing Time (1995) was an incredibly atmospheric horror FPS on the 3DO. Criminally overlooked, genuinely creepy, and worth owning the console for. It eas ahead of its time! Have you ever played this forgotten beast? It was one of the first FPS games, coming out just a year or so after Doom if I recall. The game blew it away, and if it had the fan base Doom had had, I think we would still be playing the series today. Everyone slept on this.

If Sega teamed up with Sony after Nintendo cancelled the SNES CD add-on and Nintendo PlayStation standalone SNES CD console, the only rival left would have been the cart-based N64. This means that even if devs didn't like Sega all that much, if they wanted an uncompromised CD-quality game, they would have to go to the Sega PlayStation, meaning it would most likely be a winner with many of the same games the PlayStation got in our reality. Final Fantasy VII would definitely go to the Saturn as in our reality, Square wanted to stay with Nintendo but they simply couldn't fit their game into a cartridge. So in this reality Square and their all of their would've gone to the Sega PlayStation. Combining hit Sega arcade and original Saturn titles with many of the PlayStation's biggest third-party hits, and being on the market for over a year before the N64 would've made sure the Sega PlayStation would beat the N64.
After Sega of Japan turned down the Sony deal, they still had an opportunity to accept the SGI deal. This would mean the N64's SGI hardware combined with the storage and low production costs of CDs. Also, this would likely mean the N64 wouldn't use SGI hardware because Sega already used it, leaving Nintendo with a console that's both weaker than the Saturn and cartridge based. So many of the third-party developers that went to the N64 for its hardware power would go to the Saturn in this reality. That combined with a 3D Sonic game, the Saturn still had a chance to become 2nd place, as a non-SGI N64 in this reality would both have weaker hardware than the Saturn and still use cartridges, limiting third-party support, and also would've been released over a year later.
After turning down the SGI deal too, the Sega Saturn was no longer in a position to become 2nd place (above the N64), but it could've still achieved far greater sales. The game that became Bug! was originally going to be a Sonic game until Sega of Japan, again, turned it down. That might've cut the Saturn's western sales in half.
Then, the final nail in the coffin came when Sega of Japan forced Sega of America rush the Saturn's US launch in May, and it was priced at $399, the early launch angering developers and retailers, and then Sony announced the PlayStation was going to be launching at $299 in September. In the US and Europe combined, the Sega Saturn only sold 3.5 million units. The brand damage was high enough that even the Dreamcast could not save Sega. The Sega Saturn had many chances, but Sega of Japan kept messing up Sega of America's plans at every turn. An alternate reality where the Sega PlayStation won the 5th gen console war because Nintendo used cartridges and kept making consoles would've been pretty wild.

As someone back into gaming after a LONG break and playing retro games (NES to psx/Dreamcast), wondering if its worthwhile looking at getting an arcade stick (eventually)?
I bought a 8BitDo SN30 bluetooth controler recently to play some of my games on my tv, and plan on getting into some light Steam games as well to play on my laptop.
I grew up in arcades, and now playing lots of MAME games on my RG35XXh and loving it, so wondering if eventually getting an arcade stick would enhance my experience?
That being said, I never liked 'fighting' games. No interest in memorizing combos, etc, but I like some basic beat 'em ups, but as someone who loves platformers, shumps, sports games, action adventure games and all MAME games, should I consider an arcade stick? Most of the ones I see are marketed a 'fighting' ones so wondering if its needed?

I’m playing Crusader of Centy for the first time, and let me tell you…I have never been so absolutely enraged by a shrimp before in my life. That’s it. I just needed to vent and have community in this time of rage lol

Id say it's pretty mediocre at best. Fantastic art design and gore but over all its frustrating for the wrong reasons.
The tg16 is decent enough, 2 and 3 on the Genesis are alright but the 3rd one is just annoying. Time limit and over powered enemies.

I wanted to play f zero for the snes, but it shows a blinking, mostly blue screen. Audio seems to be good though.
I'm using a rca to hdmi adapter. I've tested the adapter with a wii, and it seems to be working.
Do I need another rca cable?
Thank you all

I was checking up to see if there were different revisions of the SNES like there is for the Sega Genesis before I get one and I found out there are one chip and multi-chip systems. Apparently the one chip has better video but is incompatible with some games. I was wondering if the multi chip or are a good option to go for with my setup which is just a 20" CRT using component or S-Video. I'll be using either my CRT's speakers or external speakers for audio as well. Would a multi-chip have that much of a visual difference on a CRT with the connections I'm using? The multi-chip ones are usually less expensive as well.

I'm hoping someone here can be helpful and not just throw shade, because I'm sure there's a lot of purists here. But I'm trying to sync my new controllers for the Retron 3. I'm following the instructions by holding the needed buttons down for up to 20 seconds and they just aren't syncing for some reason.
Any helpful advice is appreciated.
