Nice furniture
Beautiful! It’s almost like I can feel the static on my face. :D
SANIC
The main purpose of the sonic games was to show off how the 16 bit genesis could scroll faster than the 8 bit nes
They’re not really supposed to be played like Mario. Sonic is about getting through the level aa quick as you can without dying.
To be fair, the game doesn’t really reward you for doing that (besides the time bonus). But the levels are designed for it.
You gotta be trolling
Most platformers you just keep going to the right.
Sonic has you going left, up, down, and all around. Sometimes you hit dead ends. Sometimes you don’t even have much control over where you go (such as in the casino levels). It was frustrating.
I had your same feeling on Sonic but with the time I started to enjoy its chaos, really an unique platform for the time.
Love the feel of playing on a real TV. 😄
I got used Wii+CRT for less then 35€, and ppl say real retrogaming is expansive 🤣
There’s a bell curve. Consoles become hyper cheap a year or two after the Next Big Thing that replaces whatever it is comes out, and people start feeling like they can’t even give their old and busted machine away. Then some years after that nostalgia starts kicking in and the available supply of non-fucked examples is dwindling, so prices rocket into the stratosphere.
The Wii went through this but the poster child at the moment is the Gamecube. Gamestop was at one point (back when they still sold video game shit and not just Rick and Morty merch and meme stocks) selling complete refurbished Gamecubes for $20 USD. Complete with two controllers, IIRC, all the cables, cleaned, tested, ready to go. Bare Gamecubes are now going for $100-$200 on eBay which is absurd.
…I have like four of the damn things. I have at least two Wiis, possibly three, and a whole extra front loader NES sloshing around I’m not doing anything with above and beyond the one that’s hooked up in entertainment center. I keep telling myself this is part of my retirement fund.
Hell yeah! Thats an awesome setup.
Ty! I’m very happy with this little cheap 14" model, I’m adjusting the geometry to get the best out from it.
Something fun about the Lil guys!
I got a 16" Samsung I really enjoy.
So fun
That’s awesome, I had to pay €87 for mine – very few on the market here
One of my all time favourite games!
That’s a nice TV!
