Does anyone have any suggestions for how I can play the Grinch game from 2000

I saw something about this game a couple of weeks ago and have been obsessing over trying to find a way to play it. It was one of my favorites as a kid!

Hey so I have a sega flashcart and a retrobit trio, when plugged into the megadrive cartridge slot, the flash cart plays both master system and megadrive games. Does that mean it would play ps1 games if I load them onto the sd card? I’m assuming I should also load an emulator onto it, but what kind - like does it run on android or gnu or something else? Does anyone know?

I’m sure I’m not the first person to think of this, but I’ve searched and couldn’t find anything on it. I was looking into how the light gun works, particularly the NES Zapper.

Why hasn’t anyone tried to emulate the way a crt works, with emulation? Making a light gun specific emulator? Is it even possible? I’m not sure how it would work, but just assumed since it was hardware, that it could be recreated with software via emulation, adding a delay and scan lines with coding, the flashing of the white screen, etc. would that be possible? Surely if so, the crt screen emulator, would send the correct signal at the right time to be picked up by the zapper, no?

Just an idea

I'm going to go with sunsoft, as their music was usually fire and gameplay was often very good. Blaster Master here is one of my favorites but the Batman games they made are amazing. The looney toon games are also pretty fun at times. What about you? What's your favorite developer that's shut down?

Looking to get a clear box protector for the Super Gameboy Set 😁 Wondering if anybody has any suggestions on what might be the same size?

The Mega CD box is pretty close, but unfortunately slightly too small.

It's 31cm across the front, 42.5cm tall and 15.5cm deep. These are pretty rare and the bottom is a bit worn, so it'd be really handy to give it some protection

For those who cannot read the text, the title is “ TIME ZONE” as it was a platformer originally published on the Famicom as the game was modeled after games like Super Mario Bros 3 and Megaman, the latter for its main villain.

I recall like it was yesterday when I came across this game while looking for games to play as at the time, the PS3 was still in its infancy, and I was desperate to get into PC gaming in general, even if I had to settle with emulating 8 bit games.

Hey all - can anyone point me in the right direction of where I could get “bubble bobble” on a console for my dad?

His birthday is coming up, my whole life he’s always spoken about how he’d play bubble bobble till fingers would nearly bleed, spent nearly every arvo down/weekends at the local fish and chip shop just so he could play. 🤣🥰

Thanks in advance!

With the news not too long ago about Okami and Onimusha sequels (neither of which fans were expecting revivals to) what would you like to see revived by Capcom? They are apparently more interested in revisiting older series when compared to other companies, and that's pretty cool.

Any of us who had an original NES knows the ritual of having to blow on the cartridges, press the Pwr and Reset buttons together, power off/on the device, or slide the cartridge just far enough in to press it down where it sounds like you're breaking the machine. It was practically a meme in 80s before memes were a thing.

Now that I'm older, I'm curious to know – from a technical point – if anyone knows why we had to do those "rituals"? Has anyone figured out where the loose connections were or what was causing the cartridges to not work until the third or fourth try? Was the NES just poorly designed? It was interesting that so many of us experienced the same issues.

Looking for either an emulated(think PSOv2 private servers) or android native grindy MMO game. Something to play in 20-30 minute chunks during phys therapy/adjustments literally to distract and pre-occupy. Using an RG406v as it is perfect size and easy to hold during the session.

New to this just saying that first. Wife got burned on a shit gaming stick from China and we would really like to have something comparable for ourselves and our daughter to have for game nights. It actually was fun and we were starting to get the hang of it until it took a shit on us an hour after opening lmao. Like I said I am new to this and not tech savvy at all to create my own but if anyone could steer me in the right direction on Where to get something comparable already set up and could use other bluetooth controllers I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

I got this console recently and I just want to know if there's a way I can use this controller in my pc or something else?

I already tried to use a C-adaptor for my laptop but nothing happens

1995 was a pivotal year in the history of video games — a time of experimentation, technological transition and genuine innovation, but also one marred by growing pains and industry struggles. It was a defining moment for several genres like JRPGs, RTS, 3D Fighting and Racing, and Adventure, and a year with groundbreaking if not always well aged visuals and storytelling techniques. It also lends itself to some reflection on the challenges that came with technological advances and market fragmentation, since these stood in stark contrast to growing customer confusion, frustrating hardware limitations, and sometimes unfulfilled promises of the 3D revolution.

Let’s dive into the ups and downs that made 1995 a memorable year in gaming!

Pros:

• The release of iconic games like Chrono Trigger, Full Throttle, Tactics Ogre, Terranigma and Suikoden (localized in 1996), "I Have no Mouth, and I Must Scream", Lufia II and Command & Conquer pushed storytelling and gameplay innovation to new heights.
• RPGs like Chrono Trigger, Terranigma, Tactics Ogre, Dragon Quest VI (in Japan) and Lufia II showcased deep narratives and advanced mechanics like combo attacks, city building elements, avoidable encounters, IP techniques (a precursor to the limit breaks in FF7) and monster raising.
• Groundbreaking PC titles like Command & Conquer, Warcraft II, Descent and MechWarrior 2 set new standards for real-time strategy, shooter and simulation games. Some of these also quickly became popular LAN and online MP games, though the internet was of course much less widespread at the time, and online gaming much less developed. This was instead a period when LAN parties were becoming popular.
• It was an experimental period where more genres transitioned from 2D to 3D (or a hybrid) than before, with games like Panzer Dragoon, MechWarrior 2 (3D graphics card and up to 1024x768 resolution support), Jumping Flash, Wipeout, Descent, Sega Rally Championship, Wing Commander III (PC, 1994/3DO, 1995) and Virtua Fighter 2 (ARC, 1994/SAT, 1995) paving the way for the future of 3D gaming.
• Fighting games like Virtua Fighter 2 (late 1994), Street Fighter Alpha and Vampire Hunter (in Japan), Tekken 1-2, Mortal Kombat 3 and Killer Instinct (in the US), and racing games like Daytona USA (mid 1994), Cruis'n USA (late 1994) and Sega Rally defined the arcade scene of 1995.
• Shoot 'em ups continued to evolve with games like Darius Gaiden (1996 in the west), Galactic Attack, DonPachi and Raiden Project being released, catering to arcade enthusiasts.
• Titles like Command & Conquer, Warcraft II, MechWarrior 2, Worms, Virtua Fighter 2 (SAT) and Full Throttle featured impressive and entertaining cutscenes, while games like Rayman, Astal, Street Fighter Alpha, Donpachi (ARC) and X-Men: Children Of The Atom showed what the next generation of consoles could do visually in 2D.
• The changing marketing style for platforms like the Playstation expanded the gaming audience, with still fondly remembered ads like the satirical SAPS society one.
• Demo discs became prevalent in the mid-90s. In 1995, magazines such as PSM and PC Gamer began including demo discs, letting players sample upcoming titles.
• Platformers like Yoshi's Island, DKC2, Rayman and Ristar showcased how the genre still had creative potential in 2D, and for 2D purists there were still plenty of new quality games to play.
• In the computer market, x86-based PCs had become ubiquitous in the west, leading to improved compatibility. With the release of Windows 95, which became the dominant OS in the following years (in Japan as well), PCs became more user-friendly thanks to its Start menu and Plug and Play features.
• Like them or not, FMV games and cutscenes had one their best years thanks to titles like Gabriel Knight 2, Command & Conquer and Phantasmagoria.

Cons:

• 3D games still struggled to fully leverage the power of 32-bit consoles, and PCs as well. The PlayStation’s early years were marked by mediocre 3D games like Total Eclipse and Firestorm. The Sega Saturn lacked strong, groundbreaking titles outside of Sega's own efforts. Some of the better 3D games are also considered outdated compared to later games, such as Battle Arena Toshinden, Destruction Derby, Virtua Fighter or The Need for Speed. Fade to Black and Virtual Hydlide were failed 2D to 3D transitions. While 3D graphics cards were released for PC, they didn't quite take off until the next year with the 3DFX Voodoo 1 card.
• Twin-stick or even single stick analog controls were not yet released for consoles, resulting in unusual and often subpar control schemes for 3D games. It would take until 1996 for the Saturn and N64 to provide analog stick controllers, and until 1997 for the PS1 to receive the dual analog controller whose setup is still used today (by 1996, a few games did support the 1996 dual analog flight stick however).
• High development costs for 3D and ambitious projects put financial strain on smaller studios, and most developers needed time to learn the required skills for making great 3D games, resulting in some unpolished early titles.
• Market fragmentation with numerous competing platforms (PlayStation, Saturn, Windows-based PCs, 3DO, Jaguar, the 32X addon, etc.), the delayed Nintendo 64 and no backwards compatibility for the new consoles made customers hesitant to upgrade. Sega's surprise early Saturn launch made it less accessible in the US, and the lack of a proper 3D Sonic game disappointed fans. Windows 95 was pretty demanding for the time, most top PC games didn't require it yet, and there were some compatibility issues. This is all reflected in the sales numbers for 1995 in most regions.
• Some hyped yet mediocre (Gex, Virtua Fighter (SAT) which was followed by VF Remix months later in the west), and poor titles like Batman Forever, Street Fighter: The Movie and Revolution X (home ports) made it so that games like Super Turrican 2, Ristar and Alien Soldier were overlooked.
• Western audiences didn't get to experience various standout Japanese titles until later on, like Seiken Densetsu 3, Dragon Quest VI and SMT: Devil Summoner.
• Arcade gaming started declining in the west as home consoles became more capable and player expectations changed (they had been changing since the NES days), reducing the audience for and output of arcade games.
• Online gaming was not widespread due to slow connections (dial-up internet) and limited access. The lack of standardization in MP services (Westwood Online and Battle.net were introduced in 1996) and the slow internet adoption meant that online multiplayer games couldn't reach their full potential.
• The Virtual Boy was a case of poor hardware design, misleading marketing and a general lack of good games, but Nintendo were at least quick to discontinue it.
• Hardware limitations in older consoles like the SNES and Mega Drive limited the scope or performance of certain games like license-based games (usually uninspired side-scrollers), Road Rash 3, SimCity 2000 (SNES) and Comix Zone.

In discussions about the worst years in gaming, or eras where most games haven't aged well, 1995 and the early fifth gen are mentioned now and then. Looking at the year as a whole, do you think it deserves the scorn it gets, or were its contributions to video games enough to redeem it?

I almost always played as Homer but Lisa had a great jump rope attack. 🤓

How does the community feel about emulators such as 3dSen that transform your 2D experience into a 3D atmosphere where you can explore with the camera? What is your take on AI enhancements from texture hacks to upscaling? Are rom hacks frowned upon or does the community appreciate seeing an old game in a new light?

A rather simple question... If you were to get a game ported to another system (that hasn't been done already), which game would you choose?

Hello! I'm posting this here as I'm not sure what game this is, but I do know its a Colecovision game board. Does anybody have a clue as to what game this was or if its just a generic I/O?

I own Zelda Twilight Princess for my Gamecube that I have tickled with for about 15 minutes and Chrono Trigger for my DS is still sealed.

hey all

I have a gtx 780 video card and I want to build an op windows xp machine, any advice on what CPU I should use with it something in the i7 range I was thinking the i7 3770k but it still bottlenecks to the 780

Sir Knight DX is a free, conceptually simple, pickup and play platforming game; now in color.

Your King has succumb to illness and left no heir to his throne. To become King, you must travel through the dungeon to find the crown. There are plenty of heart medallions hidden along the way if you need an extra attempt. Watch your step!

I’d love it if you gave my game a shot and told Me your thoughts. Thanks for looking!

What's a good place besides eBay to get games at a reasonable price? Everything seems so overpriced on eBay. Id like Pokemon games cuz that's what I played a lot as a kid but idk if that's asking too much considering they're value
