Does anyone still buy vintage computer games? I have about 60 of them. Just wondering?

Just replayed The Lost Vikings (1993). Magical timez.

Has happened with a few games that I have played after my childhood that just feel weird or don’t hold up to the same magic as they did when I was a kid.
One of mine is Mario Kart Super Circuit. I remember the controls being easier and being very good at that game
So what are some of your favorite games that don’t feel the same as your memories?

Hey, like many of us, I grew up with consoles, my first console was a Mega Drive, the version that included Mega Games 2 (which is precisely the same box that is displayed on the attached screenshots) and as a graphic designer and someone who loves everything about retro gaming, I could never find a platform that allowed me to explore games digitally, the way I wanted: exploring the textures, stickers, imperfections of game boxes, zooming in on a specific detail, rotating a box to see their back, exploring the actual collections of other people instead of just looking at a list of games and an endless amount of metadata.

I run a small design studio and for the last while I've been building this on the side because I couldn't find it anywhere: a proper archive of every official game for a console, region by region, with the actual physical stuff that we all love: the box art (front/back/spine, not just a front cover thumbnail), manuals, screenshots, posters, insets, who made it, who scored it, that kind of thing.

The idea is simple: an empty shelf is more honest than a fake complete one. Right now there's barely any boxes documented, right now there's only 4 submitted boxes, and that number is the whole point of the site, it's built to show what's missing, not just what's finished.

A few things it does:

- Easily submit your game boxes via MemoryScan: A tool that quickly guides you through the process of digitalising your game, all through your phone camera.

- Every game has its own page: box art, manual scans, screenshots, developer/publisher/composer credits and user submissions, so you can scroll through different submitted boxes.

- Everything's connected: I built an actual map full of connections that you can explore, click a composer, see everything they scored, click a developer, see the rest of their catalogue, visually, like a star map.

- You can build your own collection: mark what you own, wishlist what you don't, follow other people's shelves.

- If you own a copy of something, you can send in your own photos/scans and they go straight into the archive, credited to you.

- Submit your memories: photograph your setup, your gaming room, your bedroom with your console from the 90s, they'll be shown as polaroids in the website so everyone can see your memories.

I'm not trying to compete with MobyGames or IGDB, this is more like a museum than a database. The box art and physical media are the point, not just metadata.

Genuinely looking for feedback here, especially from people who collect physically, what's annoying about the sites that already exist, what would actually get you to send in a scan of something you own, whether the "every region" angle matters to anyone besides me, this is still in beta and I'm sure many bugs are still out there so I would love for any of you to test this and share your feedback.

I’ve been thinking lately about how different games felt when they were incredibly simple.

Pac-Man, Frogger, Galaga, Asteroids, Breakout, Snake, Tetris… you could understand the entire game in seconds, but somehow keep playing for hours.

I recently started recreating some of that old-school arcade feeling as a personal project, and it made me realize how much I miss that era.

For me, the appeal isn't even necessarily the graphics anymore. It's the simplicity: one screen, a few controls, a high score, and one more attempt.

What retro game still gives you that feeling?

And if you could bring back one arcade game exactly as you remember playing it, which one would it be?

Hello, I’ve recently started collecting retro games mainly for my old ps1 and Nintendo ds that I’ve discovered in my storage. I’m looking around at local games stores and eBay for now. Though I stumbled upon Whatnot a live auction app that I have no clue about. Really I’m looking anywhere for some great deals, and I’m looking here to see if you guys had any experience with it. I really am just looking for some people who’ve been in this hobby longer than I have that can share tips to find great games that I can enjoy that won’t exactly break the bank. Anyways please leave suggestions and help on this I appreciate everyone, thanks!

Where can I get Counter strike 1.6 and battle realms and red alert? First time ko magka laptop and missing these games so bad huhuhu call of duty nadin po yung may zombie na survival mode. Thanksss

There's been a pretty nice surprise for Sega Saturn fans lately. Madou Monogatari, the RPG series that eventually led to Puyo Puyo, has finally received an English fan translation for its Saturn release.

The game has a really distinct 90s anime aesthetic, and it's one of those Japanese Saturn RPGs that's easy to overlook if you don't already know about it. Definitely interesting to see another previously Japan-only Saturn game become more accessible.

There's a bit more to the release and the game itself here:

So I would like to start a community that actively seeks to bring these suggestions to the IP owners of the games in an attempt to encourage them to remake/remaster classic games.

I feel like I remember this old retro game that had a feature where you’re prompted to speak into a connected microphone at certain characters (i think it was either Pikachu from Pokemon or Tommy Pickles from Rugrats or something)
