I am starting my own games collection that i always wanted as a youngster, would thought it be good yo have a community to share games of old for those who still play, including challenges, tips and tricks and just general chit chat about retro gaming.
Created at . Page last updated at .
The console i mainly focus on are:
Sega master system
Sega mega drive II
Playstation original
Gamecube (and soon gameboy games once i have the attatchment for it)
PS4 (probably not retro but hey its in my collection)
And classic PC games if they work
I’ve got like, half a TB of abandonware PC games. Mostly horror and horror adjacent, but some of them are actually quite good like Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason.
Project Xenophobe is a fun point and click and the main theme was done by cello rockers Apocalyptica.
Lots of awesome abandonware out there.
N64 Crystal (Retro RGB)
Lylat Wars (Starfox in the US)
Perfect Dark
Conkers Bad Fur Day
Pokémon Stadium 2
Goldeneye
F-Zero X
Extreme G 1&2
Mario Kart
V-Rally,
Vigilante 8 (For blowing shit up)
Banjo Kazooie
Zelda Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask
Plenty to get you started
What games are you playing?
I think with retro gaming now there is a distinction between whether you want to play them or whether you just want to display them.
I'd also focus on one console rather than spreading yourself thin - otherwise you may have two SNES games, 4 NES games, and 5 N64 and the rest of the money is on buying the console (hopefully in decent condition), accessories, controllers etc.
Thats true, so for me i collect them so i can play, at the monent i have had a focus on finding and purchasing old games i remember from childhood and attempting to actually complete them - I didnt have much success as a child gamer to complete them lol, but then i will also look at purchasing rare games to play as well.
Sometimes I'll go back for some NES stuff, but if I'm going to really go back to playing something 'retro' ...
Sierra On-Line ... Quest titles.
Space Quest, King's Quest, Police Quest, Sex Quest......uh, I mean, Leisure Suit Larry.
About every 2 years, I get the itch to go back and play thru them all again.
So ive just re-started back up the remainder of Die Hard Vendetta on the Nintendo Gamecube. The controls are not necessarily hard to operate but god damn the controlling of the camera for aiming your weapon is still a pain to do. Yet a good old fashion run around and just shoot the bad guys is a good flash of the past, that and enjoying bullet time oh and listening to 'ode to joy' whilst in a killing spree. I good time to end a holiday from work, and begin countdown to xmas, need to get the die hard trilogy on playstation.

I love my retro games.
Im currently playing alot of Game Boy Advance atm but I also have a PS2, 360, DS and a Game Cube that currently isnt showing a picture, hd cable on the way 🤞
I dont display but collect to play. One game Iv always wanted is zelda Ocorina of time but I never had a 64. Got a ds as an adult, realised it was released for 3ds. Years later, finaly got a game cube and bought the game off ebay...game didnt work. A few years later I got a proven copy from cex....game cube now dosent work.....
So while its not retro per sai ive just started back up the tomb raider original 3 remastered on the xbox and the graphic update are pretty sweet :)
