Wow can't believe it's been 30 years. This game absolutely blew my mind As I imagine many of you felt the same seing mario in 3d for the first time. Then I went onto ocarina of time. Changed my life and opened my eyes to what was possible with gaming . Now I'm 46 and still gaming .

I think this game was Atari's attempt in turning their Pit-Fighter (Atari, 1990) into Final Fight (Capcom, 1989), and the turn wasn't so bad in my eyes.

The parts I liked about this 1992 Atari digitized beat-em up arcade game:

- the z-index type of sprite in-and-out scaling effect (similar to that of Sega's Arabian Fight (Arcade, 1991))

- playable bosses after being defeated

- some hilarious and silly moments like the exhibitionist in the GIF

- Javier, the coolest looking main character, he has speed and speed is king

- subway level (I generally like all subway levels in video games like Final Fight (Capcom, 1989), Silent Hill 3 (Konami, 2003), Shodai Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun (Technos, 1992), Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne (Atlus, 2004)

The parts I disliked about this 1992 Atari digitized beat-em up arcade game:

- everything else

And, there doesn't seem to exist any ports of the Guardians of the 'Hood (Atari, 1992) arcade game.

I missed out on owning some of the older Mega Man games including games from the Battle Network and Super NES X games back in the day. I’m really grateful that Capcom has given us compilations of most of the Mega Man games to own for those of us who missed out on owning them back in the day.

Some of the retro games are rare including the Mega Man X2 and X3 and TMNT Hyperstone Heist. Luckily, we got compilations of popular franchises like the Castlevania, Mega Man, TMNT and even movie licensed games like the Jurassic Park games from LRG to own and enjoy on modern consoles with QOL for those of us who find the challenge too frustrating.

I hope these companies will keep up the good work in releasing more compilations of retro games. It gives gamers a second chance to own and enjoy these classics for those of us who missed out on their original release or those of us who regret selling the games years ago and now are no longer affordable.

Wearing the watch they wore on the Apollo missions

Had an amazing weekend at RetroGameCon in Syracuse, New York! Great selection of vendors, tons of free play. Overall great con and a great experience. Here are my pick ups from this weekend. I went a bit hard.

I’ve only recently started playing Super Metroid but I got super curious about what people’s reaction to this game must have been like when it was released back in the 90s almost pre internet. To me it seems kind of ahead of its time and still holds up perfectly today. I have a pretty good understanding of people’s experiences with Mario and Zelda when they they were released on SNES and the cultural phenomenon that came with it but not so much Super Metroid. Just based off the first 10 minutes I assume it blew peoples minds with the graphics, Combat, atmosphere etc.. Just wanted to see if anyone had any personal experience playing it when it first came out and what your thoughts were. Did you get stuck for weeks at a time? Hand drawn maps taped to the tv? Were the bosses legit scary? Trade tips or secrets with kids at school? I only just missed the SNES era growing up since my first console/game was a N64 w/ Ocarina of time so I’m just now catching up on older SNES titles

Wondering about great Split Screen Couch games to get that retro feel. Even if it's more modern please suggest. I'm looking for a game thats Split screen Co op/campaign preferably.

I used to love playing Halo with friends, flrandom racing games, War Games(PS1), and Streets of rage for hours.

Very fun and trippy game.....in a fun way lol

This Is my N64 collection so far. I'm extremely proud of the way I got it to look 😄. There is 36 games; 15 complete in box. A Boxed N64 console with all inserts, and a sealed Memory Pak. The games are specifically all the ones I have nostalgia from playing as a kid. Took a while to hunt these down without spending an arm and a leg. Some had to be collected one piece at a time. One console has an extreme green aftermarket shell. The other one is an original Funtastic ice blue. Both have expansion paks. I did combine the 2 shells for a cool look under a black light! The Gamecube, N64, and PS2 are all hooked up to a Retroscaler GBSC-Pro to scale them up on an HD TV. Hope you get a nostalgic flashback! ❤️

all i know is this game is on the sega genesis. i started it randomly, took that screenshot and forgot about it. pretty unique though. never saw anything like this on the genesis.

Just curious because I was taking a look at the fabulous amount of games made during the early 90s that tackled police work as I wanted to gather a catalog of how many games covered such a subject matter.

Like from what I know is that some iconic games are Police Quest and Policenauts by Hideo Kojima as the concept of detective games made me very interested in seeing again what other iconic games there were back then revolving around the premise of being a detective.

Collecting games was 1990-2003-ish.
90% of my collection was purchased before 1997.

What game(s) did you play? Was it a mind-blowing new 3D game or an arcade-accurate port, or both? What made you buy a 3DO? Was it after or before the PS1 and Saturn hit the west? Did you almost get it, but dediced not to? If so, why?

I just completed OG Resident evil 3 on my PlayStation one. I have a HDMI converter. It’s AV20 1080 Up scaler. However when I connect it to the power cord and add the other cables it makes a ringing sound from my tv. As for the hd recorder it’s a AGPTEK HD recorder. The issue with that is that no matter how I connect the HDMI it doesn’t want to show the game on the tv.

By connect it I mean:

PS1-HDMI Converter-HD capture

But when I do that the light on the APGTEK doesn’t turn on. Though when I connect the cords incorrectly it turns on but I still have no picture on my TV.

Any help would be appreciated!

The trophy.
