I’ve been playing a lot of Gauntlet: Dark Legacy lately and it seems like it has a number of improvements over the arcade release. I’m curious what other ports people find particularly good.
I’m considering going through Ultima VII. I’ve got the GOG version that runs in DOS box, but I figured I’d check to see if there are any modern fan patches or anything that I should consider before jumping in.
i recently watched a video of a youtuber named the sunshine feeler where he talks about the mega drive in japan and he said he feels altered beast’s concept is underutilized and it made me think about how magician lord takes the same concept and make it for me a more enjoyable experience what do you think about this comperasion?
The TRIMUI Brick Pro is one of the most interesting retro handhelds to come out lately. Typically these companies beef up the processors and specs for a ‘sequel’, but TRIMUI kept the same insides and just built a bigger body with thumbsticks.
A few weeks ago I wrote about taking a chance on a cheap "junk" PSP-2000 from Japan, replacing its faulty charging port, and ending up with one of the nicest handhelds I own.. One of many PSP’s I’ve bought though.
I had a couple Wisdom Tree Game Boy games as a kid, never knew there was a port of Spiritual Warfare until recently. Excited to find a copy for a not ridiculous asking price!
After the recent post about thousands of chiptune music from cracking teams in mp3 format, I wanted to share an already well known collection of Commodore 64 music in their original tracking format. To play these SID format music files, an audio player that supports the format is required.
“GOG seemingly shares that they are considering physical PC ‘big box’ games. Maybe?This could be the case, or could not be. They shared a post on Reddit 19 hours ago from their official account, and I thought it might be nice to share that here, at least to spark some discussion.They simply shared a post titled:Shall we? 📦💿With the following image:Link to the Reddit post is here if you want to see what others are saying about it!”

As we’re heading into the age of digital only downloads and more people start to scavenge for physical media, I was wondering if there is a list out there that catalogues if the game doesn’t need any downloads, patches or internet connection. I assume starting during the ps4 era it became more common place to only have partial data on physical media. I’d love to know what will be worth collecting/searching for in the future and what will potentially just serve as a frisbee.
After watching a few videos by Retro Game Corps, it looks like the RG DS has acceptable, perhaps good, performance with Rocknix, which is pretty cool! Similar experiences can be found when looking at other reviews online. I run Linux on the desktop, and I have successfully installed postmarketOS on a OnePlus 6 (not as a daily driver, but as a secondary device for music and games!), so I am comfortable with installing alternative operating systems.
I recently had to chat with Patrick, the founder of Afterplay, along with James, the platform’s Head of Emulation, to talk about one of the more interesting projects I’ve spotted lately in in the retro gaming space specifically.
This rare Treasure Hunter G interview originally appeared in Square’s official strategy guide published in 1996 and covers the team’s inspirations and character design.
Hey guys. Here’s another one of my collections. It’s “ドラゴンボールZ III 烈戦人造人間 Dragon Ball Z III: Ressen Jinzoningen (lit. Incredible Battle with Androids).”
This is with higher internal res, of course (as in the original low-res+dithering makes it a lot less obvious). I hope compression doesn’t muddy it too much.
It’s called blasting processing! As a reference to we all know the sega mega drive/ genesis. It’s a retro gaming space built around the standard definition era of console gaming!
Today I want to talk about a research to find and play an old game I played on mobile phones. Unfortunately it wasn’t available or playable anymore and I looked into alternatives. This post is just a little history of my research, that’s all. The conclusion is: Unfortunately I don’t use iPhone or an Android with Google Play Store anymore, so cannot play these anymore.
Picked up a reference HD 4870 for $11. Hit 96°C at stock but pushed through GTA San Andreas, CoD4, NFS Most Wanted 2005 and Crysis on a Core 2 Duo rig.

So I don’t really play many newer games, but I still want to play with friends online. Ive thought how awesome itd be to play some ps2 or n64 with a friend who’s 500 miles away. But I cannot find anything that actually works (especially because I’m on Linux and theyre on windows)
After almost 2 decades the Romhack project is finally finished as version 1.0. Project is called EarthBound Collection and consists of two Romhacks / Mods: 1. Beginnings Remake is the full remake with bugfixes and additional changes, while Giygas Strikes Back is the same project with the bugfixes only.
One of my first memories of a cyber punk game, though at the time I wasnt even aware of the term, I was 10 years old when this released. I remember it having super smooth animation which at the time blew me away. If I recall the game was digitally hand drawn.
I rage quit this one a few times, often falling to my death. It had a very Prince of Persia feels about it.
I owned the European Mega Drive version. What I didnt know till recently is that the US version contains a small 16 page comic created by Marvel which has got to make it one of the rarest Marvel comics ever no?
The game has some memorable levels and the music has always stuck with me. It was basically Blade Runner and the game did a great job of immersing you in it. Also a really fun game to speed run!
One of the most fascinating sequences in Atari’s arcade manufacturing process in the early 80s, was the application of the fabulous artwork that adorned all of its cabinets from the golden ag…
Picked up a used Gigabyte HD 4850 with Zalman aftermarket cooler for $10. The Zalman cooler kept temps at just 53°C — massive difference from my previous HD 3850 that hit 106°C!
Tested on a Core 2 Duo rig with GTA SA, CoD4, Crysis and more.

The development and release of Pole Position is probably worthy of an in depth deep dive for another time, so look out for that in a future post. In the meantime, I’ve come across some more e…
Nowhere (Devalley Entertainment, 2007) is a psychological survival horror that ran on old keypad phones. Two parallel worlds, two characters, and honestly pretty unsettling for something that fit on a Nokia. Mostly I just want to get it in front of people who’ve never even heard of it.
This intriguing Earthbound interview between producer Shigesato Itoi and fellow writer Hajime Kimura originally appeared in the 9/94 edition of Family Computer Magazine. As one might expect from a conversation between two writers, the tone is philosophical and big-picture, with Itoi offering many insights into Earthbound’s influences and conception.
I started with some knockoff clear shells and used this plus this for mister chef’s but I think I used too much black. For barbieter, I used this and it was way more pink once done than I wanted. It probably could have used some black or blue added.
There’s nothing more satisfying that being able to gradually break something up, with different graphical layers of damage, without having to think about opponents getting in the way, like annoying mosquitoes.
