It took 5 years, but I finished the 2nd run of Ring FIt...and there's a third!!at least I have reasons to keep playing !

Ah you probably can't tell, but I got a Win7 PC with old GPU working on my Blast City in 640x480 !

Weirdly you have to put windows in 59 hz mode instead of 60 or the picture is scrambled. Why would that be ??

@hg101.bsky.social Did you get the Gradius deluxe thing, either US or JP?

The poster is smaller than I hoped , but it's cloth which is pretty sweet and versatile .

Also recommended ! Fun and nice showcase of NES powers.

Protip: Don't freak out if you try it in your NES and it doesn't work lol , just reset a few times and it works properly .

I always assumed / hazily remembered that System 16 games were basically the Genesis port with better color or longer stages or something.

Werewolf Hadoukens?!? Blood-curdling-scream samples??

S16 is a treasure trove of SEGA greatness!

@priceofreason.bsky.social hey man! Hope you've been well.

I'm finally playing SamshoRPG, got my CDZ battery saving finally!

I enjoyed seeing "townies" in here, haha, I feel less silly about sneaking that term into my "WD style" patch now lol

Out of town for a funeral, but there are Switch 2's everywhere.

I hate buying systems at launch and I hate Mario Kart lol but that's how it goes when videogames are also your businesses!

My little girls might like Kart now that they're older at least!

I'm usually not this kind of person , but it REALLY bothers me Ys III doesn't have a spine card .

It just looks so, so WRONG .

Pretty random but I thought this was a Star Destroyer on our kids' Hershey's

Whoever told you that the CD-i had nothing to offer was lying .

Seriously though I've spent less than 30 minutes with this and the games are 10x more fun than the Jaguar for instance .

They're not great but they're playable , and some are unique experiences for the time!
May 18, 2025 at 1:32 AM
@hg101.bsky.social didn't the CD-i first come out in like '93?? Why would the default clock start at
O 1989??

The best thing about a new old console is experiencing a brand bootup screen
May 16, 2025 at 7:48 PM
Yessss. Another shit console I can love and cherish for the rest of my days that I've always been curious about .

And box

What else is left ?? Vultures have destroyed the "I always wanted to play this " impulse purchase.

I found Captain Skyhawk CIB (a RAREsoft game !) for $8 and Global Gladiors & Greendog CIB for $10 each today . Lucky cheapies!

I got this at our neighborhood used bookstore! What a cool treasure !

Really interested to see how they wrote ProTips in the Age of Atari

I love finding old, inexpensive Japanese gaming paraphernalia. It feels like literal treasure . And it is to me ;)

I hadn't played a Dragon Warrior since I and II as a kid and I've really been enjoying the SNES remakes . Now playing IV on DS. Hard to believe they're all based on '80s games

@aliaduo.bsky.social @hg101.bsky.social I got some pre-tarriff stuff that @sega-west.bsky.social should be making themselves !

Wait... What???

Mario Chase on Nintendoland makes a badass team building exercise . I get a lot of mileage out of the Wii U still

I hope Nintendo finds a way to port Wii U tablet games to Switch 2 somehow !

Never owned a Master System before. Got a broken one fixed and installed the FM mod.

It's a really cool in-betweener system. FM makes a big difference & excited to finally play all these SMS carts that have waited for this!

If you have one get the 3-D module & find ASUS glasses on ebay!

480p looks sharp as shit on a great VGA CRT. I'm very lucky to have my stepdad's old Photoshop CRT!

I can't find much info online about these, but they have Trinitron tubes so no wonder they're so great.

Using XRGB 2 & 2+ for 240p, Garo for 480p, & Retrotink for 480i.

This does sound like something the government would fund today.

"Neo-Nazis are reviving Hitler & his doomsday device. Save the USA's biggest war hero & stop them. You have a gun + a bionic arm."

There's no better scenario in all of videogames. It's impossible.

Bionic Commando is like Casablanca: When it comes on, you just have to stay till it's over.

This duct tape is so old it can rent a car. Ugh.

Repairing my GuitarFreaks KOC, and I just kept the 2 shit 3rd-party guitars I tried before that. This is why a retrogamer should never throw anything away. A quarter decade later you might need it, and there will be no place to get another!
