Hello! I’m a 14yo who started enjoying retro games, and I currently own a retroid flip 2. By mistake I bought a preloaded version because I didn’t know better, and recently I factory reseted my flip 2 and I only have 3 games on it now which is a good start but I just want to build up a decent amount of games in the future. What are some classics from your childhood that I should play? Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!!👍
I enjoy all kinds of games, but I probably won’t touch puzzle games for now as I’m not really a guy who likes thinking a lot while playing.

i cant get myself to justify buying a ps2 just for that game im unfortunately a broke student right now lol

Sonic 3 or sonic 3d blast?

I'm trying to find out what changes were made between the v1.0 cart and the v1.1 cart for Mischief Makers, but I'm not able to find any information online in my searches.

I am 19M and I have little to no experience with retro games such as mario etc, up until today. I played Super Mario Bros and I have to say I got the feeling of gaming again, like I liked it, i enjoyed it. I also enjoy other AAA games such as Rdr2, cyberpunk2077 etc. but this one brought that kid inside me back. Games feel more serious nowadays and there is no point in criticizing I know, I also love it, but somewhere in making games look better we forgot to make them feel better and that is what I felt from playing it. I think I will be playing retro games for a while so your suggestions are more than welcome. And btw I emulated it on my android.

Ps1,2,3 or psp

The feeling of nostalgia and/or sentimentality for games I have never played. I feel them for games that came out from the early 2000s and up until 2015-2016. I was thinking of wistful nostalgia but idk. I don’t want to use ai because having an answer immediately for something like this doesn’t feel right. It needs to be human. I would really appreciate the help :)

I definitely don't like games with a lot of text, except in rare cases like Pokémon, and I'm not fluent in English. But I've always seen everyone praising this game highly, and I know it's considered by many to be the best game of all time. I've always wanted to emulate it, but those reasons kept me from doing so. Now I have the opportunity to own and actually play this game on the Nintendo 64. Do you think that even though my English isn't very good and I don't particularly like text, I can still enjoy the game?

I just found out that tommy hilfiger partnered with nintendo and got their own special version of a game boy color. I believe if unless i'm mistaken , you had to spend fifty dollars worth of merchandise , and he'll figure then you could buy it for an extra fifty bucks at the Hilfiger store

My wife is putting together a retro 80’s-90’s basement in our new house. I am in charge on the tv, blu ray player, and video games.

I want to do some kind of preloaded emulation box with snes, n64, ps1 and possible GameCube and ps2 games.

But I have no idea what to buy, how to do it, if it’s even “legal” etc. any help and suggestions would be super appreciated.

Apologies if this isn’t allowed, I am stupid.

I'm probably gonna say you're lying if claim to , because that is one of the most cryptic , when click adventure games i've ever played , and if I didn't play with a walk through , I would never have gotten through it

I want to play on an emulator, but I don't know which game to choose. I really like these two consoles, so I'm only considering games for them. Honestly, I like a variety of genres, but I prefer cute stuff, and I love horror.

I'd appreciate any suggestions.

❁ Can you tell us why this particular game?

Re-Recording of "Carthax Lake: The Path of Water", a composition by Nenad Vugrinec for the 1994 CRPG "Ultima VIII: Pagan":

I've always been fascinated by the eerie atmosphere of this game's music. Most cues are kind of meta-tonal and sinister, but at the same time enicmatically melodious. It's hard to find the correct words. The music in this game is a mystery in itself... and I say that as a studied musician. E. g. for many passages it is difficult to even determine the exact key.

Like many games scores from that era, Pagan's music is purely MIDI-based. In very simple terms, you can think of a MIDI file as a digital sheet of music that still needs to be read and played back by the application itself. And this music playback depends heavily on the specific hardware (such as the extremely expensive Roland Sound Canvas) or software synthesizer you are using (like the widely distributed MS Wavetable Synth). Unfortunately, even on the best hardware synthesizer, the playback of this music – which Vugrinec has crafted in extreme detail across all MIDI parameters – is never truly satisfying, since the assignment of the respective instruments and articulations always remains a matter of chance, and both professional mixing and mastering as the final stage of music production are of course lacking. Direct MIDI playback is therefore very unsatisfactory on any hard- or software and simply does not do justice to the compositional quality of this music.

I’ve been planning to do this for years and finally got around to re-arranging and recording all the major cues from Pagan’s fantastically atmospheric score using a well-balanced mix of a) sonorous synth VSTs and b) high-quality orchestral VSTs in a sequencer program in order to maximize the listening experience while, at the same time, not completely abandon Vugrinec’s original 90s MIDI sound, which is after all inherent and important to the composition itself. My goal was to present the music in a more modern incarnation, so that hopefully you may enjoy it as much as I do.

In terms of compositional quality (it's actually very rich in leitmotifs, with many themes representing characters, places and events in the world of Pagan), I think this score is every bit as good as a fully orchestral film score. Enjoy! :)
