That game seems to get picked on these days, but back when it came out my brother and I were all about it. How’s it hold up?

I have a startling revelation. Upon closer inspection it was a piece of wood.
I have lied to you all.

You don’t have to, you can just look at this one. It’s a visual experience.

Yeah I’m not sure that would fit under my tv either lol

A million times this. Retro games aren’t just still good, they’re better than they’ve ever been thanks to modern tools and emulation.

I have an i5 with a 1660Ti hooked up to this same tv. And an i9/4080RTX laptop that I do I lot of gaming on. Also a Steam Deck to the right of the Xbox.
I just thought it was cute and fun :)

Yeah, it’s not perfect. But it’s cute and adds some flair and I’m enjoying it regardless of the exactness of its historical accuracy. Still nicer than another black rectangle under my tv. From 12+ feet away it looks identifiably like “sort of like an old PC case,” which is enough for how cheap it was.

REMINISCIENCE across the bottom kills me 😆
Device itself look okay, but I struggle to pick anything up until I know for a fact that the CFW scene is going to be robust and worthwhile. Once I know what kind of firmware I’ll be rocking and that it’ll be supported by the community I’m a thousand times more likely to grab one. Until then it’s just the waiting game.
- Comment on Who's making older games so expensive? 1 month ago:
Some of it is just them getting hard to find for things that were made in smaller numbers. As time goes on there are less of them floating around.
But also: grading and internet hype has drawn the eyes of a certain class of investor that want to sit on these “assets.” Then everyone that sees a graded copy of a game sell for a high dollar amount assumes their grungy copy with no box and their name written on the cartridge is worth the same amount. You see the same thing across a lot of collectibles hobbies, unfortunately.

Castlevania on NES
- Comment on My old retro game cart (now defunct) 1 month ago:
Traded that to a friend a few years ago, but it was a pretty fun system! Had it modded and recapped.
- Comment on My old retro game cart (now defunct) 1 month ago:
Yeah it’s a little bittersweet. But, honestly, I play more games now than ever before and the features that emulation provides means that more games are accessible to me. The kid version of me would’ve been stoked to see the cart, but would have be more stoked to see save states, fast forward, rewind, shaders, and cheats. Not to mention fan translations and romhacks!
- Comment on My current handheld lineup 1 month ago:
Yup, works great.
- Comment on My current handheld lineup 1 month ago:
I have! Balatro is cool, also didn’t TMNT Shredder’s Revenge. Didn’t know UFO50 got a port, I’ll have to check that out.
- Comment on My old retro game cart (now defunct) 2 months ago:
Definitely underrated! Played that ones a lot as a kid.

I also second Pico8, tons of cool games over there!
- Comment on My current handheld lineup 2 months ago:
Then either is honestly a great choice, but the RG35XXSP does have a very slight feature advantage. But it does also have very clicky buttons (think original GPA SP but stiffer), so if you’re a button-feel person then that might be a deciding factor.
- Comment on Retro Warriors 498 - WonderSwan 2 months ago:
I’ve only started it, but it’s surprisingly good! I hesitate to recommend it too much because I’ve barely played any, but I’m definitely intrigued.
- Comment on Retro Warriors 498 - WonderSwan 2 months ago:
Man, that’s living the dream! I’ve been considering the same since they’re so cheap right now. IPS screen and a flash cart was my plan. Have you played the fan translations of Digimon Adventure?
- Comment on Retro Warriors 498 - WonderSwan 2 months ago:
Always nice to see old tech brought back from the dead. There’s a flash cart for the system for running roms. Lots of good fan translations!
- Comment on My current handheld lineup 2 months ago:
Same, I often flip-flop. I like the crisp buttons on the Anbernic, but for games with rapid fire button presses they can het fatiguing.
- Comment on My current handheld lineup 2 months ago:
Pokemon TCG Is my go to right now. For short bursts I also like pizzle games. The Neo Geo Pocket Color version of Magical Drop is really good, plays fast, and fits the small screen.
- Comment on Retro Warriors 498 - WonderSwan 2 months ago:
If you get around to finding it share some pics! Sounds pretty cool.
- Comment on My current handheld lineup 2 months ago:
Mine was an older batch, good looking out though.
- Comment on My current handheld lineup 2 months ago:
Nice! Looks super clean too. Is that joystick awkward to use?
- Comment on Retro Warriors 498 - WonderSwan 2 months ago:
Nice! Which color? I keep almost buying one, they’re just too cute and affordable.
