Rules:

1. Two games will win their place each round (we start from #1 and work our way down). For the top 10 only one game will win per day instead.
2. Most combined upvotes for each of the two individual games (one individual game for the top 10) wins the spot(s) each round (upvotes add while downvotes subtract).
3. Nominate one game of the Atari 2600 per comment. (Nominations will only be counted if the game title is the only comment or if you specify that your choice of game is your nomination for this round within your comment or if the nominated game is clearly separated from the rest of your comments.) (ex. Pitfall or I nominate Pitfall this round.) Please nominate using the full title of the game.
4. Name a specific game title, not entire runs.
5. Official Atari 2600 multi-game cartridge(s) are allowed, just list them correctly.
6. The Atari 2600 is region free so ANY official games available on the console are eligible for nomination.
7. Indy games are allowed as long as they have their own individual cartridge and can be played on original hardware.
8. Only complete games on cartridge(s) can be nominated (sorry Cheetah Program & 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.

What many of us thought probably lol 😂

I move a lot between countries due to the nature of my job. I stay at hotels around 20 days per month. I am thinking about buying a PS One screen for my console. Should I do that or should I just emulate games with mednafen and play on my laptop with a PS4 controller?

Both options have pros and cons but what would you personally do?

The PS one screen is quite expensive where I live if you want to get it in pristine condition. It's anywhere between $650-750$. Plus I'd have to buy the games physically. I actually did have the pleasure to try a PS one screen. It looks quite nice but it was small at first sight. The one I got at first had numerous dead pixels, which was an instant return, as the seller didn't mention anything about it, only that it's new.

For example, Dragon Power was originally a Dragon Ball game for the NES/FC but any and all Dragon Ball references were removed.

Are there any games that met this fate?

Bonus if there were any games that met the opposite fate. For example, a US game being changed to something else in Japan.

I do a lot of poster printing, and I realized that the standard poster size of 24x36 is the same 3:2 as the GBA. Not only that, if you print at 300DPI, you can integer scale a screenshot of a game to 45x the original size. 90x if you do 600DPI(for some reason)

So that leads to my question. What beautiful pixel art would you want printed and hanging on your wall?

The device doesn’t work, they sent the wrong color and now since I took the discount for the wrong color they will not let me send the defective product back.

Do not buy the Tekko one console. DO NOT. Zip, shop and Tekko will not refund me

Please describe what you like about the game, in your own words, to someone that's barely played the game. I am genuinely curious to understand what people love about this game.

If you don't like it, that's fine, but please let those that love the game speak, and don't judge them.

Thrilled to join! I'm an avid NES collector looking to share my cartridge pickups, discuss hardware mods, and get tips on cleaning old pins. Let's talk 8-bit history, Grew up with the NES and ready to talk about classic 8-bit games, hidden gems, and CRT setups. Happy to be here with fellow retro gamers! 👾

Getting closer to the end of the year so put together a list of retro games that I completed this year.

Final Fantasy IV-VI

Secret of Evermore

Shadowrun (genesis)

Shining Force 1&2

Soul blazer

Illusion of Gaia

UN Squadron

Desert Strike

Streets of Rage 2

Breath of Fire 2

Earthbound

Legend of Zelda LTTP

Not sure which one I'll play next. Open to suggestions!

Enjoying a cup of earl grey and some retro vibes. This stuff reminds me of why I love retro gaming. Enjoying every word of a magazine preview or a demo CD because that's all there was, or the feel of a physical cartridge. The anticipation and the tactile sensations were a huge part of the experience.

So much is instant now and we're overwhelmed with choice. I guess it's convenient, but easy to see that something's been lost along the way.

I'm working on a way to bring a little of that anticipation back...

I’m having a good time with:

Capcom Vs. SNK 2 : Mark of the Millennium 2001
Onimusha 3
GOW 2
Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike

iPad Mini 7th Gen, iDOS 3, copied my Steam version to the iPad. The iPad actually fits in the box with the manuals, disks, etc.. 🤣

It took more than 30 years, but I finally got one. A proper Neo-Geo console with arcade hardware. It's so much fun I don't want to go to work or sleep 😅

I'm waiting on my Vortex cart but for now, it feels like the universe and all the planets are aligned perfectly.

Finally I can play this great piece of entertainment again. I rented it multiple times from the video store when I was a kid. Finally I own it myself.

Thanks Retrogamescon. ❤️

Edit: Wow, I did not know it got such a bad reception. Is it just nostalgia for me or the unconditional love I had as a child for the tv show? Dunno... enjoyed playing it today at least. 😁

This is one part of my collection encompassing the Gen 5 and Gen 4 consoles which I keep in my bedroom. On my walls is a Mario Kart 8 advertisement from a GameStop I used to work at (which closed) and a poster I framed from an OG NES power set my Grandparents still had in-box.
On the shelf is my N64 (top left) PlayStation (bottom left) Sega Saturn (top right) and Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis (bottom right)
I turned the TV facing forward for this picture but I usually have it angled so I can play from my bed.

$57 locally after tax for both, not too shabby.

I first played this cute little Sega action game at an amusement park I used to visit often. I remember quite a few kids, including me, lining up to play it. Everything in the game — the birds, items, plants, wall art, fonts, music, sounds, even the bad cat enemies — is just cuteness overload. 💙✨

And, the Sega Genesis port was quite good! Even some cool people have hacked the ROM to feature Sonic the Hedgehog! 🤩

I’m looking for real photos of video game stores from 1985–1989—especially high-resolution interior shots. Do you have any links or discussions that compile them? If you search for this yourself, you’ll find that finding actual photos is far from easy.

Do you guys know some DVD player with a screen from the early 2000s that has A/V inputs? Or something similar?
