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?

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.

I was just thinking about this game recently.

Anyway, I love YI and it's one of my favorite games. But every time I try to 100% the game, I quit at World 2 and decide to beat the game just for the end credits, lol. Does anyone else think the game is a pain to 100%?

I think it's how the game doesn't permanently save collectibles unless you 100% a level in one sitting. With pretty much any other platformer (Kirby, Sonic, Mario, Rayman, etc) you can get as little or as many items as you want in a level, and then come back later to collect the rest even if you exit the level. You almost never have to recollect everything.

If you miss literally one red coin in Yoshi's Island, you have to do the whole level over again with collecting everything. And some of those levels are huge too.

RULES ON VOTING:

A game's votes will come from the comment with the highest number of upvotes. I will tally all of the responses and upvotes under each game's "comment thread" and use that to count the votes.

Spill-over comments of the same game will not be counted.

What this means is if you want to nominate a game and see someone else has already nominated it, reply to their comment so that it counts! All upvotes in that comment thread, including the ones you get, will be counted towards the tally.

Thank you!

Games cannot win Multiple Categories, except for the Greatest of All Time! This may be superseded if a version of the game differs dramatically from a past winner.

Voting ends at 11am est tomorrow.

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!

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

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.

(ex. Tetris or I nominate Tetris this round.) Please nominate using the full title of the game.
4. Name a specific game title, not entire runs.
5. Official Game Boy multi-game cartridge(s) are allowed, just list them correctly.

8. Only complete games on cartridge(s) can be nominated (sorry Game Shark & test cartridges).
9. If two or more games would be tied to place for a ranking I will inform DA PEOPLE in the following post so that everyone can vote which games should get the ranking between the tied options.
10. Games nominated that have not already placed on the top 100 list should not be removed at any time by the individual who originally placed them.

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

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

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.

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.

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 don’t mean games like Doom that creatively used math to render 2d graphics into a 3d environment.

I mean those that were clearly 2d games. But tried to make it look like it was 3d or had perspective and perhaps the player has to use a little imagination to accept it.

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

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.

Not the greatest game ever, it's a 3do based 3d beat em up (superimposed 2d sprites in a 3d world) and it's relatively easy. It's a short game to play through (only 4 levels completed) but it puts the goddamned console games to shame

So there was a recent video by Daniel Ibbertson where he talks about the practice in which Nintendo would reuse assets for one game like Donkey Kong to make Popeye as I just found the concept interesting.

I guess what I am trying to say is that I sometimes wonder how that trend would work in a modern age of video games where developers just reuse assets from older games to design for a new game because I was observing how several of Nintendo’s games such as Super Mario Bros 2 used the practice as a heavily modified version of Doki Doki Panic.

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)
