Been wanting to play this on PS1 for a while now, only I didnt own it on PS1. Hopefully the remaster is just as fun. Who else snagged this? #videogamepickups #gaming #ps5 #ps5games #videogamecollection #videogamecollector

Got these bad boys from Castlemania Games, who else got these? The Evercade is so underrated in my opinion. If you know you know. #evercade #evercadevs #gaming #videogamecollector #videogamepickups

I am still on the fence about this pickup, I loved watching the Dukes of Hazard growing up as a kid and of course was one of many that had a crush on Daisy Duke but idk, something about that flag on top of the car doesn't sit well with me these days, so we shall see if I keep this or toss it. #ps2

#madden26 Do Better!!! This is why I wait to buy these games instead of paying Full Prices. Still, there is no excuse for stuff like this. I hope 2K Sports gets the NFL contract back so they can make a better football game. #glitch #easports #maddensucks

I'm convinced #gamestop has a sticker fetish. Can't convince me otherwise. Why put FOUR STICKERS to seal a small holiday gift guide? You wonder why Gamestop isn't doing too well? Here's ur answer. STOP BUYING STICKERS!! #gamestopsucks #gaming #videogames

I was kinda of shocked that I didnt already own this on the 360. It must've somehow slipped my radar. I've beaten the NES version maybe 5 or 6 times over and this version maybe 3 times. Its a very fun game to play. Anyone else have this version? #ducktales #xbox360 #gaming #videogamepickups

Sorry I havent posted in a bit, my life is going thru a busy cycle. We have waterproofing going on in the house and in my gameroom. After the flood in there we decided to get it done and it was a ton of work! After pics will follow as soon as reconstruction is complete.

So I Missed out on the Vol 1 run of Genesis Carts released, had the Vol 2 preorderded, but then LRG took one of the carts away & released these on Switch. Canceled my OG preorder & got these instead. Tho it wouldve been cool to have the carts, I'm definitely happy w/ it on the Switch. #gaming

@strictlylimited.bsky.social Ummmm can u please explain why I had 3 preorders refunded without explanation or anything? If this had to do with extra shipping costs or something why wasnt I given the option to pay more for shipping or something? Seriously, just cancel and refund and no reason why?

So I grabbed this one cuz I have it for the Switch but I feel like it being an FPS game, it would run better on the PS4. What do ya'll think? #gaming #videogamepickups #videogamecollector #videogamecollection #ps4 #ps4collecting

So many to think of but my first one I loved was prolly Resident Evil 2 on the PS1. I played that religiously
What was the FIRST video game that you truly LOVED? 💜
That one special game that you would want newcomers to Retro Gaming to try over anything else...
Now's your chance to give that game the recognition it deserves. Make your case, let's get some great games in here!
