I have over 400 games, and 25+ consoles, and I have been collecting for about 2 years now. (Can’t add photos for some reason)

I work 3/12h shifts where I make a fair bit above minimum wage, and live w family, so I am able to spend some money without looking at the total for the most part.
(note, im waiting for my mrs to finish school to move out)

I am left at a bit of stalemate, where I feel like I am spending quite a bit of money daily, play the games, finish, then buy more. Got many games on the backlog, and I’ve been fixated on finding games I like, but I’ve been spending so much, and have suck little space.

I had the idea of selling the games I don’t play/finished/ have just cuz it was $3, but I have many who are valued at <$5.

I do like my very much full shelf, and I don’t quite enjoy the hassle of selling.
I’ve thought of GameStop or local retro shops, but they would give me a firm handshake, and a pack of beer.

I wanna sell these games, but don’t wanna sell them.
I wanna donate, but at the same time I don’t, ykwim?

I want more space for the games I enjoy, but I like my wall of games, and collection value. Sell, Keep, or donate? What would you do in my shoes?

My 8.5yr old son has been asking for a Nintendo Switch the last couple of birthdays/Christmas but the budget doesn’t stretch that far and honestly I’m not sure his attention span will stretch long enough.

Does anyone have any recommendations on a retro handheld console under the $100 AUD mark?

I am looking to get my sister a way to play Frogger (1997) specifically. We played it as a kid on PS1 and for Christmas I’d like to find a way to get the game for her.

Is the best way to buy a playstation one or two and the game? I see there are emulators and stuff online, she doesn’t have a pc. Is there anything that I could make easy and plug and play for her?

A web browser made game which goes by the name Mystery of Time and Space (MOTAS). Did anybody play it?

Hey everyone!

I’m looking for a reasonably priced projector for retro gaming. I want to connect it to my MacBook Pro M4 Pro and play emulated retro games on a big screen.

My main priority is low input lag, especially for fast-paced games like platformers, fighting games, and classic action games. I don’t need a high-end home theater projector, just something affordable that delivers a smooth and responsive gaming experience.

Ideally, I’m looking for:

Low input lag for responsive gameplay.

A decent image quality and resolution.

Good value for money — nothing too expensive.

Compatibility with my MacBook Pro M4 Pro.

Does anyone have recommendations for budget-friendly projectors that work well for retro gaming? Are there any specific models I should look at, or features I should prioritize to minimize input lag?

I’d really appreciate any suggestions or personal experiences. Thanks!

Hi there, university student here whose come looking for an interviewee for an ethnographic project about retro games. For this, more preferably, I am looking for someone who has experience with retro video games(why I cam here), especially someone who has played/collected older consoles like the NES or SNES(any others like atari, sega genesis, n64 work too). My goal is to learn about your personal experiences, memories, opinions, and what you think makes retro gaming authentic.
At the moment, I'm only looking for one interviewee but I might need more as the project develops, so if anyone can help me with this I'd really appreciate it.

The interview would have to be tomorrow(10/23), pst time, somewhere around 2pm to 5pm (not saying thats how long it will last, these are just the times I'm available to do it). Also, the interview will not be through zoom or anything like that instead it'll be through plain chat dms here on reddit.
And just in advance, my apologies if I type too all over the place, awkward or something of the sort. This is my first time doing this sorta thing so I'm not really good at it. sorry and thank you in advance again

(Also, mods, please don't remove this post, at least for a day or two, if this post is actually against the rules. I'm just a student trying to get an assignment done and idk what other community on here I could ask about this)

EDIT: I just got an interviewee so if anyone else has interest there still may be a chance in a couple of days that I may need more. For the meantime, hold tight

Hey guys i think we need to have this conversation about pixelated fighting video games,i kinda miss the old-gen videogame graphics,like street fighter 3rd strike and Kof:the orochi saga,Can we have this conversation?

For some reason playstation 1 games never load for me anymore, but I played them a few times on the site. And my computer can run switch emulators

I just became a dad of 2 and have very limited time on my hands and feel a classic retro game (any console pre gen 7) with a solid story and suitable combat would fit my life good right now so wondering what is recommended

searched : I've searched on sites like Abandon Shareware, the Internet Archive,
the Wayback Machine, the backup of their website in Chinese and English, even under every rock. and with less success due to language barriers on bilibili.com

Developed by the Taiwanese company Sunplus, Native 32 was a gaming system that came bundled with DVD and other media players. The games, aimed at children, featured colorful graphics and simple gameplay. They were typically bilingual and could be downloaded from the web (archive).

Youtube : NATIVE32 ALL GAMES Parte 1

Due to the "recent" release of two emulators, Native32Emu which is quite comprehensive and includes a core for RetroArch, y n32emu, which, even though it's still in its early stages, looks very promising.

I'm looking for/trying to find the complete set of games. Most of them can be downloaded from the online archive:

A CD NES_DISC V2 (V3.0), that comes with some players.

Downloads from the website's backup are only available for: Baseball.7z, girl time show.7z, and Travel Monopoly.7z. And AllGame070927.rar is also available, but these games are already included on the CD.

I also found these packages in the archive; they basically contain the same games listed above: native-32-games-v3.0, native32-en, all-game-070927

I haven't been able to download this backup from pan.baidu (pswd: 6666), Apparently, there are some versions in Chinese. I can't download it. If anyone is able to upload it to a Western cloud service, I'd appreciate it.

But there are still a few missing—the ones I'm looking for:

Website, these were only available for download.

• city master.7z / 盖大楼.7z
• Anime Fighting.7z / 动漫大乱斗.7z
• FightsLandlord.7z / 斗地主.7z

Exclusive to Philips, there are 10 games left that are only available on Philips players. Philips DVD players.

• Basketball.
• Bubble.
• Football.
• Why?
• Mole Hunting.
• Pong.
• Pair Match.
• Puzzle Tetris.
• Snowball Fight.
• Water Park.

Games in Chinese, as far as I understand, most games are bilingual, but there are some that have separate versions in English and Chinese. I can't find them; maybe they're on Baidu's backup site.

Here are some pictures of the CD I've found online:

Interestingly, the V3.0 version comes on two discs, and I only have one; maybe the other games are on the disc I'm missing.

Although I suspect they might be on this V3.2 disc and, obviously, on the Philips GAMES disc (On the right, this one has 10 games).

Here are some Philips DVD models with Native 32; PD7012G/37, PD7010/12, PD7010/05, PD703/37.

I would appreciate any help or links that might help me find them, Or if you know of any Chinese gaming websites that cover this topic, they can also be useful for your search.

I mean specifically games that provided means for modding them. (edit: nevermind that, anything goes) I know a couple already, Doom and Thief, I'm curious what other communities are out there people know of.

I've been playing quite a lot of Pokémon fire red and Zelda but I like beat em up games shooter games and chill games too

Any recommendations help! Thanks 🙏

Hey everyone,

SimCity 2000 is one of those games I keep coming back to. There’s something about its little isometric buildings, soundtrack and newspaper stories that never gets old.

I’m Daniel, and I’ve been working on Reticulating Splines, a free, open-source project built on Nicholas Ochoa’s OpenSC2K. His work made this possible.

The idea is to keep the familiar SC2000 experience while adding optional extras: day/night lighting, weather, more convenient tools and multiplayer, which is currently in beta. You can import the graphics, music and sounds from your own supported copy, or use the included replacement assets. You can also leave the enhancements off for a more classic experience.

This is a modern reimplementation for Windows, Linux and macOS, rather than a patch for the DOS executable. It’s still in development, and feedback from people who know the original well would be especially welcome.

For transparency: I’m not a programmer. I use OpenAI Codex extensively for development, alongside my own planning and testing. AI has also been used for replacement artwork and promotional materials.

What’s the one thing about SimCity 2000 you’d want a project like this to preserve?

I'm the developer of Minesweeper Ultimate, which is on sale until October 29th.

The game aims to bring back the excitement of classic minesweeper, as well as offering new ways to play with a variety of game modes.
It also offers several modern quality-of-life features like leaderboards, hints and a choice of visual styles.

With over 20,000 players and Very Positive reviews on Steam, now's the perfect time to rediscover minesweeper!
