@npub126q…cy9p it also made it more affordable and it had a way better battery life. I remember sometimes using the same AA batteries for nearly two months in a row, and I played fairly often.

@npub1wkl…zaex I remember going to a club with friends years ago, and they played Maya's theme from KI2013, I think I was the only one there who knew the reference lol

@npub126q…cy9p next time I'll try to take some photos. They also have Crash, Spyro, Tetris, Pac Man, Sonic, and Knuckles.

@npub1ph5…8pq7 Thanks! This looks a lot like what I had in mind, time to visit Home Depot lol

@npub1ph5…8pq7 just a very simple one, about maybe around two feet tall. Just gonna be used for holding up the TV and nothing else.

any carpenters here know a simple DIY for making a stand for a 40 inch CRT?

@npub12uc…9j5n interesting considering they did make Thrasher Skate And Destroy

@npub1wkl…zaex if the Shredder could survive being crushed by a trash compactor, King Koopa could easily come back lol
Theres not much villains in the Mario universe anyways, besides maybe Wario, Wart or Tatanga?

@npub1wkl…zaex I guess it could be Bowser comes to New York instead with a plot about dinosaur people taking over the real world.

2024-07-20 21:20:31

playing some Warcraft 1 today, takes me back to playing it with friends in the school library while the teacher thought we were doing our work lol

@npub126q…cy9p Great game, this and Crash Team Racing were awesome for having a story mode with collectathon stuff, something I wish the later Mario Karts would adopt.

@npub1wkl…zaex I guess some people really love Super Doom Bros

@npub1wkl…zaex I miss the days of PC gaming with my Microsoft Sidewinder

2024-07-14 23:59:25

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wW3rNlfRgyM not sure if this breaks the retro rule, but as a retro gamer I'm really looking forward to this

2024-07-11 20:33:10

- reply

@npub1wkl…zaex I'm not a fan of the bobblehead art style, but the gameplay is fairly solid with some nice nods to the first four games

2024-07-11 18:48:39

@npub12uc…9j5n art direction is pretty generic, and the animations look really stiff. I expected much better out of Arc Systems, the people who made Dragon Ball FighterZ which looked great

2024-07-08 20:39:45

- reply

@npub1wkl…zaex Agreed, Wario Land Shake It for the Wii had a hand drawn anime look to it, and it still looks great 16 years later

@npub1zmk…g4f0 crazy to think this was from the same company that brought us Dark Souls

2024-07-05 10:24:29

Any good retro recommendations from the Steam or Gog summer sales?
I'm pretty open to any genre with the exception of interactive novel types. Preferences are FPS, RTS, Platformers, and JRPGs.

@npub16zd…80mt I beat this one a few years ago, pretty neat little gem. Its like Dragon Quest 2 in a Greek mythology setting.

2024-06-17 13:00:25

@npub1wkl…zaex currently playing the remake of it on 3DS, its a very chill game that still holds up

@npub12uc…9j5n great game, but its soundtrack wasn't exactly its strongest point

2024-06-07 00:18:34

Kinda on the edge of retro, but I
started a pretty underrated FPS from 2010 called Singularity , which was Raven Software's last game before they became fully dedicated to Call Of Duty.
I'm about two hours in so far and really liking it. The mix of horror, puzzle solving, and using cool time manipulation powers adds a lot of variety for what I expected to be a standard FPS campaign. Kinda feels like a mix of Half Life 2 and Wolfenstein 2009.

@npub1wkl…zaex looks great still gotta play the original

@npub1wkl…zaex hearing it for the first time in Christmas 2002 was real exciting, one of the last times I recall when the jump to a new generation of consoles was still very noticeable

2024-06-03 20:58:43

- reply

@npub1wkl…zaex Hard agree, and X4 is still good because its a lot like the first 3, but 5 just took a sudden turn.
I'm gonna play all the way till the end because I hear 8 goes back to being like the earlier games.

2024-06-03 20:42:19

I'm playing through the entirety of the Mega Man X series since I've only ever preferred the original series my whole life.
So far I'm on X5 and man did they get carried away with some of the most unnecessarily bad game design choices. Do I really need to be stopped every two seconds in a level to be told to avoid pitfalls and spikes? Does a Mega Man game really need 5-10 minute long cutscenes like its an RPG?

@npub1wkl…zaex sadly, bigger budgets killed imagination
even during the brown and bloom era of the mid 2000's, game managed to differentiate themselves better

2024-05-27 00:29:18

Its May 27 in Japan now, which is like a holiday for Dragon Quest over there, and usually they announce something new.
I'm hoping for a trailer for 12, but to keep it retro, I hope we will see more news about the remake of 3.

2024-05-26 01:40:14

playing through Twilight Princess again for the first time in 14 years made me realize how much I missed this style of Zelda before it went fully open world with BOTW/TOTK

@npub16zd…80mt I always wished Nintendo would bring back Wart as a character in Smash Bros or Mario Kart, seems like a waste not using him.

@npub1wkl…zaex I was a Wii and PS3 guy during this time, but I had a blast playing Halo 3 multiplayer at a friends back in the day.

@npub1wkl…zaex i do all my gaming on pc with this lol

@npub1wkl…zaex I think 4 is a great action game, but 1 imo is the best survival horror game ever

2024-05-12 23:26:06

@npub1wkl…zaex great game, its intro is definitely a slog, and the art style is a bit drab, but its got probably my favorite gameplay as well as dungeon design in all the 3D Zeldas

just discovered this cool 16 bit remake of the Mega Man 5(Gameboy), I'm looking forward to playing it as its one of the most underrated titles in the series that I felt was a bit held back by the Gameboy's capabilities.

@npub1wkl…zaex honestly amazing, I can only ever beat Nick Bruiser at like 1:30-2:00 due to sucking at making him dizzy as well as the small amount of damage he takes from punches

2024-05-03 21:27:25

@npub1wkl…zaex its pretty good, one of the more underrated Wii titles, I think you'd like the title defense mode if you're looking for challenge

2024-05-01 15:23:23

I did the other most annoying part in Mega Man 8 (sorry about the black borders, stupid mednafen)

@npub1wkl…zaex this is why for cartridges I just buy them loose. Not worth the extra 150 just for a worn out box.
