Can you all help me figure out a computer game from my childhood? It’s a game I think of regularly and wanted to figure out so I could have a nostalgic play.

It would have been on a PC around 1996-2000.

It was a game where you were a witch flying on a broom over water and playing as a wizard. I know that’s not very descriptive but it’s all I can recall 🙃

THANK YOU!

Hi, I was just browsing gamestops website until I found that they sold retro games, at pretty fair prices too. But then I came across this https://www.gamestop.com/products/pokemon-emerald-version---game-boy-advance/122847.html, a listing of Pokemon Emerald for 55$, is this real or what?

I used to play this game on my Lenovo G580 Laptop that had a 2D space shooter from the late 90s or early 2000s, where you battle against alien creatures (rather than spaceships), and after a certain level you fight with a big alien boss which had weak point where you have to hit him but he too sprays his attacks from his direction. It had great music in the background. Please help me because i am done with playing multiplayer games and want to play my childhood games and singleplayer games.

I used to play this game on a blue or aqua nokia which was slim ( i searched and i think its probably Nokia 5310 XpressMusic ) that had an action game in which you had to go from bottom to top to pass a level. It had enemies and obstacles and walls that contracts and spikes. It had hot women displayed in cutscenes which made my mom mad when she saw it but i didnt knew what she was talking about. It didnt involve any shooting but had combat with swords.

Of course, since last week's Thursday Three was all about difficult retro games, it stands to reason that this week we should be discussing the other side of the coin - the easier games!

NO LISTS! Tell us why you like these games!

Of course, difficulty is definitely subjective, and just because you've played a game so many times that it has become abject muscle memory doesn't necessarily mean that the game is easy. Use your best judgement here folks. Obviously many retro games were known for their difficulty or downright unfairness, but there are some out there that definitely are much easier. Was the game just super forgiving? Did something just click in your brain and made the game not all that difficult for you? Or was it just steady progress that eventually made it so you could finish the game with ease. Whatever the reason, let us know!

Please try to stay within this sub's definition of retro!

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

i have a disc with a game called heroes of annihilated empires i cannot get it to work everything in the option menu is one big glitch most of the time there is an error about something 3d (it's been a while since i tried to make it work) and even if you do manage to start the game you won't be able to play nor see since the glitch remains and is bigger pleeeaaaassssseee tell me you guys know how to fix those (for details, i can only isntall it on a laptop (the only computer device witj disc reader) but i can transfer the game to a normal pc using a usb, the problem does not dissapear but it may be more heplful there i dunno) i would show images with the problem and requirements bit it's nt an option here

(FB Group name is identical to headline of this post)

Ladies and gentlemen...we are back!

For those of you who aren't familiar, the Thursday Three is a weekly discussion that was started years ago by /u/-JaguarWong- and has been usurped continued on by yours truly. Each week there is a discussion topic, and we try to pick three games that fit the theme and expand on them. It is a great way to find out about games you've never heard of before, or find new takes on old favorites. There is only one rule:

NO LISTS! Tell us why you like these games!

So, obviously difficulty is in the eye of the beholder, so please keep that in mind if someone selects a game you feel is easy and vise-versa. Of course, retro games lent themselves to rather extreme difficulty, what with the arcade quarter/token/[insert currency here] munching origin of video gaming. Let's not forget that the phrase "Nintendo hard" exists for a reason here as well. Do you have a love-hate relationship with these games, or a feeling of triumph after finally conquering them? Do you just enjoy playing it even if you know you'll never beat it? Whatever the reason, let us know!

Just put up a review and working on putting out weekly content on my youtube. Any feedback is appreciated! Simpson's Hit and Run review drops this upcoming weekend!

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.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2699250/The_Sumerian_Game/

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!

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!
