I made a good? Mistake?

I was scouting for atari2600/7800 frogger 2. Found this lot on Etsy and skipped analyzing the photos. A older woman found them in a thrift shop and listed them. Notably spelling game names, I still missed the important word on the carts in the image.

They came and I had shown my middle child my triumph of thrifty online shopping. Until I tried to mash a cart into my atari 7800.

"Huh, .... what?.. oh damn" Kid: what dad Me: this is coleco carts Her: ....? Me: welll.... I was gunna buy one anyway.... don't tell your mother

I mean, 38 bucks shipped can't be that bad?

What was this Space Game?

Hey, I'm not really a Gamer, but I hope this community can help me out. From time to time a memory pops up in my head about a game we used to play on my friend's Windows 98 computer, must have been around 2000 or late 90s. All I remember is that mostly all you could see was the blackness of space with some little planets in it. Now, depending on what kind of ship you were able to build on your homeplanet, you could or couldn't reach the other stars. If you were able to fly somewhere else you'd get informations about the friendly or not so friendly Aliens living there, and, as far as i can recall, they'd mostly sent some stronger ships that would destroy us. Sometimes you could also form alliances to attack others together... I think. My friend didn't really like this one so we played it rarely but for me it always felt mysterious, fascinating and, in a way, endless, almost like a open world kind of thing. But we never got the point and it would always be too complicated for us. I'd really love to check this game out today, with an adult brain, but I know my memories are pretty... minimal. Does this ring a bell for anyone?

Thanks a Lot Andy

DOS XT game recommendations please!

Hi guys, I've got an IBM PC-XT from the 80s that I want to get some more games for! Now I have a fine collection of DOS games already, but this is an XT-class machine that can only handle floppies with 360 kB of memory! This puts a bit of a limitation on what I can play, unfortunately.

So far I've got Monopoly, Arkanoid, Acquire, Archon, Drugwars, Loderun, Paratrooper, Tetris, Pyro 2 and Sokoban, but I'd love if you guys have got recommendations for more games that can play on this machine :D .

Running 16-bit games on Windows 11

Hi guys,

I was wondering if there’s a way to play a 16-bit game on Windows 11, for a person so green in all this ‘computer stuff’ (I only know how to switch my laptop on and off basically).

The game in question is Claw, I absolutely loved and adored it when I was a child. I just spent roughly £50 on buying it just to find out it won’t run. Now, I’ve read some guides how to run such games on dual-system-something but I was wondering maybe it’s just easier to instal old Windows that’s 16-bit on my old unused laptop? Is it even possible these days to install such old systems?

Thank you!

Trying to remember the name of an old computer game - would have been 80s/early 90s, vector graphics I think, you explored a world which was a kind of globe comprising 18 square arenas (with triangular areas you could fall into if you left the wrong edge of the squares).

Probably on Atari ST or Sinclair Spectrum, and from chatting with brother we recall it came with a flattened card cut out of the planet that you could draw map upon and then construct into the ‘planet’ shape? Any ideas??? Brother and I identified a bunch of old games we had but this eluded us!

Philips ES 2201 Tele-Spiel carts

Hello, does anyone have cartridges for this console?

I want to build cartridge replicas for a friend of mine. 😉

These are relatively simple circuits, so a few photos about the inside enough to replicate.

Any help would be appreciated. 😊

I found a copy of Rampart, an old Genesis game. Willing to sell.

In case, but no book. Any offers. GF was gonna trash it, but I thought maybe someone needs it for a collection.

Google image search does not know CRT's

Hello!

I thought this would be the perfect spot to ask - I've been reliving my early gaming years as most of you probably have, and been hunting the crt screen I used to have without succes.

In my memory it looked like this, with grey big things on the bottom, but have no idea of a brand or anything else.

Does this ring a bell with any of you or am I going nuts?

Peace! T

I can’t remember this game.

So the description will be very vague and I apologize but I only remember parts of this so bare with me please.

Here goes. So when I was a young girl I saw my uncle who was a teenager at the time playing some video game that he could click in different characters and it would show like I guess a little flashback of their life? I remember what I believe is she had white short hair and wore a black bikini and if my memory serves me right it starts with her diving off her yacht into the water and ends with her taking a shower? And all you see if her back in the mirror then the mirror fogs up? If any part of this makes sense I would appreciate it if anyone had any guesses
