Buffy on Xbox was probably one of the most slept on games

Went back to play this classic. I would love to see the evolution of the combat system in a modern game. If you’ve got any suggestions for similar games with weighty combat, let me know!

Whats the best console for family nights?

Me and my partner and son enjoy wii every so often as i have a decent collection but the motion controls havent aged the best, so im wondering what's a good console that has a good library of 3/4 player games to get him more into retro he loves the wii games just doesn't love the controls, Not too fussed about 1st party titles like mario kart etc, We do enjoy mario party and pokemon games, He started to get into playing overwatch on his xbone so maybe something with good shooter that isnt pvp etc.

Im thinking between PS2 (i loved the ps2) Ps3 or Original xbox, but not sure what has the best games that are 3 player,

Consoles i have had i don't mind if its not one of these.
Gameboy Color
Megadrive
Dreamcast
Ps1
Ps2
Gamecube
Wii (have this now)
360
ps3

Safedisk is making gaming complicated.

I've posted this in r/retrogaming before, but the mods decided it's not fitting. So I'm posting it here ...

Hello everyone,

I've recently got gifted a game from ~2006, Warhammer: Mark Of Chaos and have been trying to run it since today morning. It wasn't my first old gane I ran; I successfully run BFME II, Diablo 1, and a Prince of Persia game on my Win 10 PC, so I figured it wouldn't be so difficult to get that one running. Well, after installation it didn't run. So I tried running on compatibility mode... Didn't run either. Then I tested with dgVoodo and it didn't work either. After some more research I found that it should be a "Safedisk" thingy that prevents me from starting it. Research said that Windows 10 doesn't support that anymore, so I can't really run it natively. So I got myself DxWnd hoping it might just run it without complications. Well, it found out what version of Safedisk is on that game (4.60.0), but still can't run it. I'm thinking of getting something to bypass that Safedisk thing, but i don't know what to search for: When I searched for the version of the disk, only some japanese and two english threads popped up, all looking for a similar solution.

What would you recommend?

Help What Console?

So I grew up in the era of mega drive to Xbox 360

I owned c64,mega drive ps1,PS2,Gamecube Dreamcast,Wii,360

I'm wanting to start collecting retro games but not sure what console I want to collect for I spent the most time with ps1 PS2 and GameCube. Really enjoyed the Dreamcast but it only lasted a month before it broke. Loved the Wii but didn't have it long.

I'm wanting to try get my son into the older games so preferably something that has local multiplayer games he would enjoy. He's 8. I don't want emulators I want physical.

Is it time to surrender to retrogaming?

Hello everyone, I’d like to share something that’s been happening to me recently. I’d also like to know if anyone else is going through this or has experienced it at some point in our gaming lives.

I confess that I’ve always judged those who remain attached to a specific old console or generation.

Don’t get me wrong—I’ve always thought it was cool to collect and all that, even though I don’t do it myself. But I never understood why someone would limit themselves from discovering new games or anything like that.

So... Here’s the thing, I believe I’m going through exactly that now. And it happened in an unusual way. I’ve had powerful PCs and current generation consoles. But for various reasons, I ended up selling them, with the main one being that I no longer enjoyed playing new games.

I understand that there are many good new games, but for me, I’ve recently been drawn only to indie games, which I can play on my notebook without any problems.

At the moment, I could even buy a powerful PC or a new console. But I’m simply stuck with my childhood consoles (Xbox 360, Wii, and PS2). I even considered buying a PlayStation 3 because I’ve always wanted one and all that.

Sometimes I also use GameCube and classic Xbox emulators and always find cool games that I never had a chance to play because I only had a PlayStation 2 during that generation.

So, that’s it—just a rant in search of someone who might relate to me. I guess age has caught up with me, haha.

Looking for a game

Hey guys My mom's looking for a old game she used to play on pc about 20 years ago. You have to click on flying books to shoot them down and aren't allowed to hit the flying owls. In the background there is a magical forest and a castle. It would be great if anyone could find it for me. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone. I just bought the Nucbox G3 + a 12TB HDD of retrogames (Hyperspin Attraction). My question is: can this tiny mini pc handle most of those retrogames, maybe up to PS2? THANKS FOR YOUR ANSWERS.

Help me

Please Help

Me and my wife just bought Super Mario Deluxe for the switch. As we were playing we see this shell and can’t figure out what other Nintendo game has these shells when she played when she was a child. It’s bugging her and I can’t find anything. Can you guys help me find that game. It’s no new game.
