Retro and Old-School Video Games!

[Mormel]

BTW, if any of you hasn't seen the Dorkly videos on Youtube, check them out. All funny skits using old school game sprites. Some of them are genius, I might add.

I love Dorkly Bits. Was glad to seem them return a while ago after they had been on hiatus for a long time. The Mortal Kombat ones especially crack me up.

Astyanax review for the NES!

Good review brother, but you did a lengthy write up without once mentioning it is a gigantic rip off of Legendary Axe.

Big retro gamer here...I have a hacked PSP just for this purpose. At the moment I'm playing Mr. Do! (SNES version), World Heroes Perfect (Neo Geo emulator) and bouncing between three Castlevanias.

My fiancee thinks the same thing. I told her that playing emulators just isn't the same thing and doesn't deliver the same experience that the actual hardware does. The only thing emulators have going for them is that you can now buy controllers based on classic NES, SNES, Sega, and N64 controllers with USB connections for a more authentic feel, and also the fact that you can play games that sell for hundreds of dollars without shelling out the cash for those elusive gems.

Currently the only emulator I use is MAME for arcade classics.

I had terrific fun on MAME a few years ago, playing random folks in SSF2T and MK2...good times. Now I cannot find a working version of MAME to save my life, let alone a MAME that will run the original arcade Killer Instinct. If anyone knows of anything, feel free to PM me...it would be greatly appreciated.

Review of Legend of Zelda for the NES!

@Montressor: I've got MAME on my PC, its the only emulator I use since I prefer actual hardware and carts, but I don't have room for 20+ giant arcade machinea , so.....lol.

Retro collectors,
would you rather:

a. own multiple consoles, but only a handful of games each?
or
b. own 1 console, but have hundreds of titles?
