[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB Dragon Warrior 3 and 4]

Yeah, my old copies got hit by the Bernie curse. Joking. I am looking for these two please. I do have stuff to trade too (non dot matrix printers I promise!) Thanks.

[General Gaming / Just got Skyrim for the Switch]

Yep there goes my life for the next month or so. Very impressed by this port.

[Off-Topic / Net Neutrality]

Yeah I'm going there. I'm curious to why every day people are against this. Or maybe they don't understand how the internet works...

[General Gaming / Got a 32x...]

Got a good deal for a 32x at PRGE this year ($20 from Castlemania games!) and looking for some games for it. I heard that Space Harrier and Afterburner are good arcade ports, but are there any other games worthwhile on the system? I see stinkbay has Kolibri, Tempo, and Knuckles Chaotix but those look rather pricey...

[Off-Topic / PRGE 2017]

Anyone going this year? 40th anniversary of Atari and all games Star Wars. http://www.retrogamingexpo.com/
I'll be there.

[General Gaming / Night Trap 25th anniversary remake]

Anyone else playing this? I got it on Steam a few days ago and having a blast with it.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / U.S release dates of the Turbo Duo and Sega CD]

Just realized they came out within 5 days of each other in the U.S? October 10th for the Duo, October 15th for the Sega CD (according to Wikipedia). If there is some truth to this, then the Duo really was a stellar deal.

[General Gaming / Friday the 13th the game]

Anyone playing? Just got the pc version the other day. Not as bad as the nes version. LOL. But it is bad ass playing Jason even if I do suck.

[General Gaming / Mario Augmented Reality]

This looks really cool.

[General Gaming / Atari Box]

Hmm what could this be... A new console?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Interview: Trouble with the Turbo Grafx-16]

Might be a bit old (and someone might have posted this) but a good read. http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/11/interview_the_trouble_with_the_turbografx_16

[General Gaming / The story of Nesticle and early emulation]

Been a while since I posted a good article, but if you got 15-20 minutes its a long one.

The Story of NESticle, the Ambitious Emulator That Redefined Retro Gaming


The product of a talented programmer who designed a hit shareware game while he was still in high school, NESticle was so good that everyone looked past the fact its name was basically a dick joke.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Shovel Knight for the PCE possible?]

Curious, what would it take to get Shovel Knight ported to the PCE? Might just be a pipe dream of mine, but its one hell of a platformer.

[General Gaming / Final Fantasy 7 Orgins]

http://www.polygon.com/a/final-fantasy-7#prologue

Really great article on the back story of Final Fantasy 7. Definitely my favorite 3d FF game..

[General Gaming / Deadly Towers thoughts]

/20170101_183729.jpg

I finally sat down and played this through today (no cheating, just online maps as a guide). Its not as bad as everyone thinks it is, just takes forever to get going. Once you start getting the hyper equipment it becomes significantly easier. Took me about 6 hours to do it and boy the ending is about as great as I thought it would be. lol What are your guy's thoughts? Has anyone else played more than 20 minutes of this game? I suppose I should post some pics of the deed...

[General Gaming / Long lost snes version of Rayman found.]

http://motherboard.vice.com/read/the-long-lost-snes-version-of-rayman-has-been-found

Awesome.

[General Gaming / Civilization 6]

Bad. Crack. Enough said. Who all is playing? I like it much better than Civilization 5, maybe a tad bit more than 4. Really nice they brought back unit stacking and have Sean Bean be the narrator (and you can actually skip it).

[General Gaming / Dragon Quest 7 remake for the 3DS]

http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/09/13/dragon-quest-7-fragments-of-the-forgotten-past-review

I wants it.

Didn't know it was illegal...

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB Garou Mark of the Wolves MVS]

Don't care if its loose, booty whatever as long as it works with my mvs. I'll even trade some dot matrix printers for it.

[General Gaming / Microsoft decides to make their Xbox line more pc like]

No surprise here.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / How many of us have finished Devil's Crush]

Discuss and post pictures! No cheating with a certain password now!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Always wondered...]

Why didn't NEC just wait to release the Supergrafx here in the US instead of just releasing the Turbo? I mean aside of the localization and such there was only like 4 months between release dates? It couldn't have been that much more expensive to produce the Supergrafx here in the U.S and hell you could even had older pc engine games to fill in the void until more Supergrafx games were available. Just a weird thought...

[General Gaming / The man who made a million empires]

A really good Sid Meier interview:

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB Famicom console No longer needed]

[General Gaming / Fallout 4]

Bad. Crack. 500 hours of my life will be lost to this game. Anyone else playing it?

[General Gaming / Rampart]

Started a game up of Rampart on the SNES. Bad Crack. I'm surprised we didn't see a port of it to the Turbo/PCE since it's ported on almost every other system.. So with that being said, what's everyone's favorite port of Rampart? I personally like the SNES one and the PC port, but haven't played any of the other ports of it yet..

[Off-Topic / Ash vs the Evil Dead]

Anyone watch this weekend? All I have to say is this:
AWESOME! Enough said.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Mednafen netplay Turbo style!]

Anyone try this with the PCE/Turbo side? I'm curious as it seems the majority of us are all over the world and if it was super easy to setup maybe we can have people get down on some multiplayer! I know emulation isn't perfect, but to get to Obey with fellow gamers on these forums would be awesome.

Thoughts?

[General Gaming / Amiga 500]

Any Amiga 500 owners out there? I'm in the process of acquiring one. This guy gave me an awesome idea:

Just curious on what are some of the shortfalls in acquiring one? I know most of the games I will want to play require 1mb of ram, but I"m also curious if maxing out the ram on the system would be the best way to go? Thoughts please..
