I remember specifically that I played the original Bubble Bobble with my mom as well as Wheel of Fortune, both on the original NES.
The Bubble Bobble was a total game experience and because of the Nintendo Power magazine, Bubble Bobble game we completed with the true ending. Wheel of Fortune was an easy gameshow game that we figured all the puzzles that were left.
My dad, however, loved Sonic I&II on my GameGear. He insisted that when I charged my humongous battery pack, that I did it next to his lounge chair. Sonic 2 was the best he ever did, but he loved it.
Both of my parents loved games before they became too complicated. Dad did no survive to experience casual phone games but mom did and she did. She had a number that she loved. I guess that is why I will always try to tackle casual games. I do, however, would love a new Bubble Bobble to play with my own kids.

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?
Any experts out there that could help me find pricing and such with this? Also how do the cards work.
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

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 .
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!
Hi I have people trying to bargain below 55,00$USD. What would be the price in your location ?
I have a asylum gx 5800u aslmgfx128 5800u graphics card sold for 500$ then in 2020 it sold for 1800 I have the whole computer just needs psu i wanna build it and get it functioning case has a few dents and scratches not bad for its age and all motherboards seem very clean it seems to be a old alienware I'm trying to see what this setup originally was I cant find anything on the actual computer it just screams alienware to me
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!
Got this set today at work out of a junk box. I haven’t come across this vintage gaming system yet. I work in Tokyo and get lots of cool stuff.
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. 😊
In case, but no book. Any offers. GF was gonna trash it, but I thought maybe someone needs it for a collection.
