nostalgia

Don't you miss it when your favorite video game had some neat little deal with your favorite candy or snack or something where they'd have video games tips or trivia or cheats on the packaging or even the food item itself? I know the internet is a thing now but this just so much more fun.

Anyone?

Recently returned to Condemned: Criminal Origins. Believe it or not, I actually started with the contested sequel (as tv tropes would put it), Condemned 2: Bloodshot. Bought it some years ago as a spooky game to play around Halloween. Honestly, not entirely sure which one I like more. I think...

Elemental Gimmick Gear (EGG) was an RPG partially made for the Saturn, with project moved to the Dreamcast as the Saturn was unceremoniously drooped which where problems for other reason, which losing consumer confidence in company hardware being a major one.. But EGG! For me, this was an good...

In high school, my friends and I would hangout in the engineering/computer classroom and play like 10 matches of Unreal Tournament over LAN during our lunch period. I often think back to those days and I'm often met with sadness and disdain that Epic Games removed Unreal Tournament from the...

Writing this because I watched Ashita no Joe a few years back and it's a masterpiece, from 1970. I still have to get around to watching the second series which was made 10 years later and finishes the story. Since it's that old, I had issues with the pacing at first - the show just moves slowly...

it's probably the period i miss the most. gaming talking every title was an experiment and also a milestone at the same time; 2D and 3D combined in many different ways SquareSoft was imo Mida in those years FF Tactics, Xenogears, Vagrant Story, Parasite Eve... months well spent for each one...

It’s well known that SEGA’s partnership with TecToy was a genius move. To any and all Brazilian forum users, share your memories of the SEGA Master System/Mega Drive/ whatever other SEGA machine you owned!

It was a Grass Mowing Game with top view, for PC, with 2-player capability. it came out in the early 2000s. i only played the demo of it, the full version was shareware. It was very similar to the Famiclone bootleg below, but with better graphics and probably without the dog. Fuel gathering was...

When I was a little boy, I was a console kid. I had my PS2 and Gamecube and the universe was in perfect balance. I didn't really think of computers as a place to play videogames. I knew you could, and aside from my hallowed copy of Rayman 2 and my legendary disc of SNES Roms my dad's cool nerd...

Or, what was your earliest gaming memory of watching someone else play a game? The first game I ever played was Sonic 2. The speed, the music, the vibrancy of the colours, the sense of accomplishment/anticipation in getting just a little further in a level, it all felt pretty magical to me...

Hey guys! I'm sure I'm not the only one who lived through the era of online web games, so I wanted to ask which ones you used to play. Here are some of mine: Adventure Quest Worlds ⚔️: This was one of my favorite games of those years, and I'm still very fond of it , Adventure Quest Worlds...

Do you miss any old sites, browser games, web services, etc? Back when I was super into Yu-Gi-Oh, before the rules became an incomprehensible clusterfuck, I was active on Yu-Gi-Co, a forum for discussing the card game, tracking prices, and making custom cards. Very welcoming community that was...

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...

In my recent years in gaming circles, I've become much more annoyed with the sentiment of "things being better back then", usually combined with claims of game developers being less lazy than in the current period, when a single look at the Famicom library in 80s Japan proves that to be a rather...

I've been playing a lot of the mod Need for Speed High Stakes Complete Edition lately thanks to spending the holidays with my only portable gaming hardware being a PSP and it kind of made me wonder why at least in my experience, so many people seem to completely ignore High Stakes when talking...
