A few years ago, I had a copy of Banjo Kazooie that had been in a flood. On top of the cart being straight up brown, I could hear rust inside the cart, and it would overheat my console after playing it for thirty minutes. I want to know if there's anybody else here who's had or has a game that bad.

Mine's a tossup between the H&K MK23 and Springfield Armories Operator M1911A1. Solid guns IRL; solid lethal weapons in Metal Gear. Not the best, but iconic. What about y'all? What's your favorite gun?

I’ve always had a fascination with myths, above all gaming ones. Share your favourites, ones you believe, ones you don’t, ones that turned out to be true, etc. Personally I believed in lavender town syndrome; if you’re unfamiliar it’s a hoax that the lavender town song had a frequency that only...

Been looking for some examples of this. Bonus points, if we're talking about anything from the 90's.

I think mine would be the base of Dark Cloud with Dark Souls combat, Fallout 4 settlement building/management, The Witcher 3 open world zones, Diablo II inventory, and a story/worldbuilding written by Michael Kirkbride. What about yours?

Hello! I wanted to to let people know about a project I've been working on for the last four month called 8bitedge. I've been developing an easy way to identify only the retro games I'm interested in on eBay. I started with a spreadsheet, then moved onto a desktop application I wrote that...

I have never watched the series and at this point I never will because quite frankly I don't have the time to sit through 1000+ chapters when even a 13 chapters one takes me about a week, so here is the question: Which games do I play if I want to understand most of the series without ever...

10/10 would totally invade Swamp to just get an Autograph.

one of the first characters that comes to mind when I hear the phrase "Which weapons in video games are not useful in real life?" I always remember cloud's

Growing up in the ’90s, I was cautious about bringing up video games with other kids. Plenty of us played, but talking about it at school could get you labeled a nerd. It was like watching Pokémon or Dragon Ball Z—lots of kids did it, but you had to pretend you didn’t. These days, social norms...

Keep it clean. Keep it civil. Have a good time. I'll start. Added another I made, there's a couple Megaman-related memes I did not make. This Megaman X Meme inspired me to go on to make one in the same format with several other series.

I was just talking with a friend, and the subject of Local TV Channels got brought up, which reminded me of my young preteen days when I used to stay up late at night to watch something unlike any of you have probably ever heard of. Keep in mind, this is before Youtube or even Google was a...

Club PlayStation (renamed as Club Play) is the name of a series of magazines that were sold in Argentina about PlayStation games, being the first numbers (the most popular ones) evidently about PSone and some PS2 games. The content of these magazines were cheats (trucos = tricks), guides...

The more I play modern games, the stranger I feel about their stories. I used to play games primarily for the story, but these days, something feels off. Why do so many of them come across as strange or cringy? Sure, there are exceptions like Mafia, which has a fantastic narrative, but plenty of...

Hey everyone! I'm looking for a survival horror game I can play through in one night. My parents are out, and I'm taking advantage of the holiday break to have a horror gaming night! I don't get much time to play anymore between work and school, so this is a real treat for me. Note1: In...

The screenshots thread. Show that you play This thread is to show the people of RetroGameTalk, the games we play through screenshots. Rules -Put the name of the game and if possible, the version / console / emulator it runs on -No screenshots stolen from other sites or users -No more than 3...

Ever come across that game or game series that embodies so much of what you love that you in turn should totally be into them but when reality hits they fall flat and you just can't bother. For me, everything Mega Man. It checks nearly all the boxes for me but once I start I just can't get...

This is a retro game focused site, but I'm curious of everyone's stance or opinions on modern games or if there's anything you're looking forward too coming out in the not too distant future. Personally, I have nothing inherently against modern games or anything considering there's always been...

Yeah I'm on fire today. Ideas, ideas, ideas! Anyway, I remember a little anecdote from my childhood and decided to make a thread out of it. In a galaxy far away... nah, seriously, what happened is at one point in the past during my childhood I rented Sword of Sodan. Having loved Golden Axe, I...
