The RETRO Gaming Thread!

With all the talk of Power Stone in the Street Fighter thread, I found this article of them talking about how it was the predecessor to Fortnite and Overwatch. Interesting read and viewpoint.

Power Stone: the Dreamcast brawler that foresaw Fortnite and Overwatch

Capcom’s joyful, rule-breaking gameplay laid the groundwork for today’s multiplayer fighting games. Its producer and designer tell us how they did it

Just got a free Xbox One from a buddy of mine. It’s one of those limited edition “I Made This” employee versions. It came with an orange controller too, and it was free. Aaaaallll freeeee

Edit: I will be cleaning out that other free Xbox360 I just got this weekend. Mask and goggles will be worn because I’ve seen the YouTube vids of these dust magnets, lol.

My boy came through again and let me have his old og Xbox console with 2 controllers and games. Plus, he tossed in a Nintendo 64 console too. Dude couldn’t find the controllers or connections but it’s all good. Anyway, now I own 3 different Xbox consoles but no time to play

Just over here reliving my childhood and look what heat I’ve found. I thought only Ibuki was rocking the Neon 95s back in the day. Here’s Zack from DOA.

and we can’t forget his “girlfriend”, Tina, with the Instapump Fury’s.

with his size, one would have to assume that’s between a 19-22” monitor on his face.

Can I borrow your Delorean time machine sometime? What year did you warp back to in order to find all those gems at a thrift store? I haven’t seen stuff like that in the wild in a looooong time! Awesome

Very true, I should be happy to have them and better yet for free. I’ll have time once fall really kicks in.

Did you beat SoR4?

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Nah, not yet.

Game is cheap as hell.

I’m stuck on stage 4 or 5 right now.

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

Nah, not yet.

Game is cheap as hell.

What do you mean by cheap?

 

[DCAllAfrican]

The CPU is cheesy as hell.

I remember there was an nba live, I believe it was '97 that had a code to play outdoors. You had to do it when you picked the teams and it started to load. I remember playing with my cousin once and we never tried it again because we tried the code like 50 times to get it.

Anyone ever try it?

Was gifted another console today. I got a complete Super Mario 25th anniversary red Wii. The only thing missing were the manuals for Wii sports and Super Mario Bros.
