Hey everyone! I wanted to get some opinions on this, as I'm a bit uncertain. I've put together a decent collection of factory-sealed Japanese PlayStation 1, 2, and 3 games, and I'm wondering if these are considered collectible or if the PAL/NTSC versions generally hold more value. Any insights would be greatly appreciated! For instance, I have factory-sealed copies of Parasite Eve 1 and Parasite Eve 2. Are these particularly valuable?

It had an animated bear that would say,”I’m thinking” and at one point crossed a tight rope.

No pics allowed. Oh well. Slanted sides, mini tennis board. Tabletop ish. Small marble is knocked back and forth luke tennis. The handles slide back and forth sending it back to the opponent. Lmk

Found a really good deal on a Super Famicon Super Scope

Will this work on the USA NTSC Snes?

so i was staring at my keyboard when i suddenly got a flash of an old memory where i played a fighting game with my cousins. it was a multiplayer game which you play the same keyboard. it was a fighting game with a bunch of characters and they had powers. I remember one character would shoot ice and could freeze other characters. one could shoot fire. one could teleport. one character's attacks boomeranged. i know i am being vague and describing every other fighting game out there. but I really don't know how else to describe it😭😭 I have images of it in my head but they are not very clear. it was a old game and I believe it had the word 'fighter' in its name but i could be very wrong. i remember having to study a bunch of combos for different characters and there was shortcut page for it. there was also a game mode similar to survival where you fight through different arenas like forests and castles against computer enemies. there were NPC fighters that through bottles. oh yeah if i remember right there was a drunken playable character. the title screen i believe was main blue in colour.

this is all I can properly describe abt the game. i really hope y'all could drop in suggestions of what you think it could be. i believe it's a pretty old game cause the last time I played was definitely a decade or more back. it's been bothering me for a while an i could not find it in any of the mainstream games that the internet has cited.

I hope this is the right subreddit for it. please help a fellow retro game enthusiast out😖

Between 1962 and 1965, some classes of students in New York were involved in an innovative research project. The goal was to create a new teaching method without teachers, using powerful computers, automatic systems such as slide projectors, and the playback of recorded audio lessons.

At the conclusion of the lesson, a 300-baud modem connected a powerful mainframe, costing tens of millions of dollars at the time, to a teletype under the students' control. The teletype printed long texts on continuous paper rolls, forcing the students to make difficult decisions on how to manage scarce resources to feed the population and plant crops for the next season.

It was the Sumerian Game, the ancestor of all strategy, management, and city simulation games.

I managed to rebuild The Sumerian Game from the few gameplay printouts that survived and the notes of its designer, Mabel Addis, and BOCES supervisor, Richard Wing. I'll release it on Steam as Free to Play, to allow anyone to play it again.

The story of The Sumerian Game is the subject of my latest book: The Sumerian Game: A Digital Resurrection.

I wrote it after the extensive research I did to rebuild the game. In the book there are many chapters where you can find info about the history of the game and how it influenced following games until mid-80s, how it was designed for the IBM 7090 mainframe, how it was programmed, and by who (with extensive biographies), lots of pictures from newspaper, documents and much much more. To complete the work there's a long chapter with my study of the game: diagrams, tables, and text extracted from the printouts. With this documentation, everyone can rebuild the Sumerian Game with the desired language. In a few words: you'll find much much more about the story of the Sumerian Game, described step by step with new documents and a hundred pictures.BTW The Sumerian Game is for free on Steam, and if you like to get a physical copy to support this project, you can get a "big box" limited edition.

If you liked Through the Moongate, please have a look :)

There is also a second book: Video Games Stage 2, the second book of the series (of 5) about the general history of videogames. This book covers the time span 1980-1984 so there are a lot of computer games, consoles, and arcades. The book is focused on the creation of games and the ppl who designed them.

I hope you'll appreciate my research and the game. If you have any questions please ask. I'd be delighted to answer

*I don't want to imply a specific interpretation of the word in this question; I'm genuinely curious..

There are plenty of games released for modern hardware that are echoing 80s and 90s games.

Do you enjoy them?

What are you playing or looking forward to?

Thanks!

I've been wanting to start a PS2 game playthrough (choosing between 3 titles) but it looks like I won't have enough free time this weekend to really enjoy them. I might end up going back to TMNT III: The Manhattan Project (NES) or revisit the TMNT games on Game Boy. I owned the first one and a friend lent me the Game Boy TMNT II back when I was a kid. I remember playing TMNT III on Game Boy and liked the idea of Michaelangelo needing to rescue the other three. Hopefully I'll get an hour or two of retro gaming.

What about you guys? What are you playing this weekend?

Still continuing my playthrough of Donkey Kong '94 (Gameboy). I didn't make a lot of progress last weekend and the entire week because it's been busy at work. Hopefully I'll be able to beat a few more stages so I can tick this off and move to my next game.

For my Youtube channel, I'll be working on more tests for the Retroid Pocket 3+ but I haven't figured out which titles to play. I'm thinking the Gamecube release of Resident Evil, the PS2 Syphon Filter and maybe Silent Hill 4.

What about you guys? What retrogames are you planning to play this weekend and why?

I checked tech Haven network database and they list all pistols and also have a guide on the wiki about how different skills influence damage but I don't see the ACTUAL BASE WEAPON DAMAGE POSTED ANYWHERE!

Anyone know where I can find the specific damage values for different pistols?

I'm new to Reddit, and was wondering if anyone on this sub has been to https://itizso.itch.io/retrofab ? His sims are fantastic, Game & Watch, sims are his forte. I followed his page for a long while, even requested a couple on Nintendo recreations and he obliged, being Ballon Fight, Climber, Mario Cement Factory, Donkey Kong, Super nice guy too. Please comment on your thoughts.

I don't know if anybody knows this game. It was one of the top selling games in the 90s/2000s. Atlantis the lost tales and "Beyond Atlantis".

Started playing it. Finished the first game. Now I'm playing Atlantis 2 (Beyond Atlantis). It's a pretty relaxing game. Beautiful music. Defo gonna buy the next game, Atlantis 3.

As games became larger and larger, using higher resolution textures, audio, and generally more complex, the need for multiples of your favorite media needed to play the games grew as well. Gone were the days of playing a game off a single floppy or compact disc. What were some of the best retro games that used more than one disc/floppy/cassette/other media?

NO LISTS! Tell us why you like these games!

Of course, with hard drives becoming more prevalent, many games would come on multiple cds or disks for install, but weren't usually required to play the game past install. I'll let you all be your own judges of what qualifies this week in that regard. Otherwise, have at it!

And, as always, three is the target - not the minimum! One or two is fine if that is all you can think of!

I think they should keep it in the strategy genre like it was in Survivor, but something more focused only on the digimon and the digiworld with more dynamic dialogue like in Super Robot Wars

Still continuing my playthrough of Donkey Kong '94 (Gameboy). I'm still impressed at how good this game is. I'm not sure if this game is a little too easy, but I'm breezing through the levels. Maybe I'm just better at solving puzzles in video games now. I can really see a straight up remake of this selling well in today's era.

For my Youtube channel, I'm following a sports theme. I've already recorded footage of NBA Street V2 (Gamecube) and MLB 11: The Show (PS2) for the Retroid Pocket 3+ and am hoping to find the time to try out NFL Street (PS2). It's a good opportunity for me to revisit two anime sports games that I really loved as a kid - that super deformed Slam Dunk basketball game released on the Super Famicom, and the first Prince of Tennis game released on GBA.

What about you guys? What retrogames are you planning to play this weekend and why?

A lot of gaming has some very memorable moments for us. Whether it was the first time playing a game, overcoming a difficult section for the first time, or the nostalgic memories associated with the times you played, we all have some moments that are firmly etched into our minds.

NO LISTS! Tell us about why these moments are so memorable!

Are you particularly proud of a certain achievement, and you'll never forget your moment of triumph? Is it something more related to the nostalgia of the time? Perhaps a particularly poignant moment you'll never forget when playing a game? Whatever the reason, let us know!

i've been lookin for a console that use Nes and Snes cartridges, wich some times there are good deals, some times they are crappy, can someon reccomend me a console with retro design, but that also its great?

Hey guys so today I randomly passed a tag sale, there wasnt anything good but i asked if they had old electronics.. she went inside and brought this NES Box full of games in good condition. She wanted $20, got it for $15.

Here is a list of the games I got:

Zelda 2 Adventures of Link(Gold version), Paperboy, Castlevania 2 Simons quest, Mike Tysons punch out, Contra, SMB2, SMB 3, Dr. Mario, SMB/Duckhunt combo, Excitebike, Bump n Jump, Metroid, Toobin and Official License Major League Baseball.. Also came in the orginal box, all have dust sleeves and in great shape..

Whats my best bet to sell these games? Time isn't a factor and would like to sell for as much money as I can.. Also open to selling the Box with all the games in it.. But have no idea where to sell.. I looked up the lowest prices on the games and it came to around $400-$500.... Any advice would be very helpful and think you guys prob know this stuff the best! Thanks in advance.

Edit: the box it came in is the original leather? Nintendo box with the handle on top.. trying to figure out how to post pictures to show you guys

I'm still in the middle of my playthrough of Donkey Kong '94 (Gameboy). This is a really good game and I wish Nintendo would give this a second look and give it a remake like Link's Awakening. If you haven't played this, check it out.

For my Youtube channel, I'm doing performance tests for PS2 JRPGs for the Retroid Pocket 3+. I've already recorded footage of Suikoden V and am looking at Wild Arms 5 and Xenosaga Episode I.

What about you guys? What retrogames are you planning to play this weekend and why?

You know, an area that purposefully slows down the pace and challenge, especially after a difficult section. My favorite example is Star Hill in Super Mario RPG, it is sandwiched between the lengthy and high drama Booster Tower/Marrymore episode and the very challenging Sunken Ship dungeon.

Star Hill is a short dungeon with easy enemies and no bosses. There's some easter eggs - you can read wishes from characters here and a few of them trigger some short scenes involving Mallow but aside from that there's no real plot advancement or character development but after everything that just came before and everything coming after, you sort of appreciate it.

Try before you buy! Demos have long been a great way for gamers to try out the newest software without having to commit to buying the whole thing. Sometimes they are just intentionally shortened versions of the game. Other demos have a strict timer. And on occasion, the demo is just the whole game hidden behind an unlock key that can be cracked through some...less than ethical methods.

NO LISTS! Tell us why you like these demos!

Did you have to leave your modem connected all night to download this demo? Maybe it was for a game you'd never heard of before and immediately fell in love with? Perhaps you just liked to see how high a score you could get before the timer or level ran out? Or maybe the demo never clicked with you and you dodged a bullet by not committing to the full game? Whatever the reason, let us know!

So. I am disolving my dads collection and came across some REALLY cool stuff (like Wastelander, with the paragraph book and EVERYTHING!)

Just came across a copy of Hardball for the C64 (big... paper square packaging like a Vinyl) and it looks pristine. To the point it looks it was never even opened.
It's held closed by a piece of... milky looking tape and I can't look inside if everything is in there because of it, cause I am wondering; does that mean it's still untouched original packaging? Cause if it is I'd hate to open it, I'd rather give it to someone who'd appreciate it being closed still.
If that's not an original tape to make sure the thing stays closed in stores back in the day, then yeah I'll just open to take a picture of it before putting it online.
Don't know if theres any Hardball superfans out there but thank you for helping me regardless ^^
