The RETRO Gaming Thread!

[datboi81]

One thing I saw a video about not too long ago was naming a favorite game per console. I figured we could all do that as an end of the year type thing. I’ll start obviously. I’m going to do per console I have owned because that just makes the most sense to me.

Spoiler: The Games

Super Nintendo -

Nintendo 64 -

GameCube -

Wii -

Sega Genesis -

Dreamcast -

Sony PlayStation -

PlayStation 2 -

PlayStation 3 -

Gameboy/Color/Advance

Are we keeping it at ONE game to prevent super long lists?

 

[datboi81]

Yeah man, 1 game per console lol you gotta really think on it. I had to go through my brain and really compare and contrast what I truly deem as my favorite.

Edit - Forgot I owned a Game Gear and a PSP. I don’t remember Game Gear games I have so, I’ll just do PSP.

PSP -

My pops got a new tv for Christmas. The problem is it only accepts HDMI so now he can’t use his PS2 without having to buy and plug in a converter. I think I’ll just find him a PS3/PS4 console.

 

[robpzee612]

Just buy the Retrotink.

 

[Air_raw09]

I just got the remastered tony hawk for ps5, wish they did this for more games

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

 

[TURBO UNO]

Just buy the Retrotink.

I saw prices for the entry level converter on their website. It’s still cheaper for me to get a PS3 console at the thrift store. There are some employees that can hook me up with a complete system for $20 when they get donated to the store.

[TURBO UNO]

Tony Hawk Pro Skateboarding 2 and 3
Crash Team Racing (Crash Bandicoot)

TURBO UNO correct me if I'm wrong my G but you have several retro consoles. Honestly worth it keeping a RetroTink on hand if that's the case.

You’re not wrong Vood, I have plenty of og consoles. I do play them in their original capacity being that I usually have them going on my small crt. The semi modern ones go on the flatscreen with component cables or hdmi when available. I might consider getting a used retrotink but that will probably much later from now.

Where’s FE Warriors and Tokyo Mirage Sessions??? Lol

All jokes aside, I wish I would’ve copped FE 30th edition. That book alone would’ve made it worth it for me. I didn’t realize it was full sized.
