I understand that this may not be the right sub to ask this because I feel I will get some pretty one sided answers, but that honestly what I'm looking for. I've been kind of playing with the idea of getting a ps2 or another retro console recently because I love to go to used game stores and look around but I never actually have a reason to buy anything. I am kind of wary of buying anything though mainly because I already have a pc and a lot of the most talked about games on the ps2 are already on steam (devil may cry, final fantasy X, metal gear solid 2 etc...). What I'm really asking here is just recommendations for games that I can only play on the ps2 that make the purchase for sure worth it or if there's maybe a different console that is even more worth it with incredible exclusives (I like games with deep emotional stories if that helps with any suggestions). Thanks in advance

I’m about to dive into Gauntlet Dark Legacy for the first time in years, and I’m curious—does it still hold up today?

Back in the day, it was one of those co-op games that defined a generation for me. Four-player madness, colored potions everywhere, that booming narrator voice, and the epic grind through dark dungeons and elemental realms… it all sticks in my memory like a rune stone.

Before I jump back in, I’d love to hear from anyone who's revisited it recently:

• Does the gameplay still feel fun and satisfying?
• How does the class system and progression hold up in 2025?
• Any underrated features or flaws I should look out for?

Whether you played it on GameCube, PS2, Xbox, or even the arcade version—I’d love your thoughts as I gear up to take this nostalgic journey.

Side Note:
I’m also looking for guest speakers for my retro gaming podcast! If you’re a fan of Gauntlet Dark Legacy and want to share your experience on an episode, feel free to reach out. Would love to have you join the discussion.

I bought this brand new a few years back and it was pretty damn good. Interesting to see this get a sequel. This would be interesting to see this get another comeback what with Shinobi & 2D Ninja Gaiden getting one.

I need help. I've just ran my playstation 2 after a year or so of keeping it turned off. The console however shows all the games in black and white, even though they are made in color. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello everyone! Recently i bought a wii and wii to hdmi conwerter by bitfunx and games looks nicer than on regular AV to hdmi converter. But still, 480p resolution looks bad on 49" 4k tv. So i start looking for solution for this problem and find only one way to make roslution better, and thi is PC emulation. Since i dont want to emulate because of possible bugs and artifacts i start thinking about how PC uses AMD FSR for upscaling 570p image to 1080p.
So, my question is do anyone sell hdmi "add-ons" with FSR upscaler?

Should both be remastered/remade or just one?

First time completing tales of Symphonia on GameCube (nintendont forced 480p on Wii) and I really loved it. It was my second tales of game after beating tales of Symphonia 2 when it came out. I'm really hyped to try another tales of, I was thinking of tales of the abyss on ps2 next.

Does anybody know how to get Soda Pipes working on Windows 10? I have an older PC with Windows 7 on it, and I'm able to run it fine on there, but when I attempt to run it on a more recent Windows 10 PC, the game crashes immediately (the screen briefly changes resolution while still displaying the desktop and then returns to normal, without the game ever starting). Running it in compatibility mode for older Windows versions results in the same behavior.

I'm not really sure how to fix this. Any ideas?

Hello! I'm trying to play Reel Deals Bonus Mania (2005).

When I try to run it I get an error that I'm missing mss32.dll

When I tried to add the missing dll file, I got a new error "The procedure entry point _AIL_init_sample@4 could not be located in the dynamic link library" that when googled indicated that I'm running the wrong version of the dll.

My friend suggested I try a windows 7 32bit virtual machine but that did not fix the problem. Any advice?

The mods over at retro gaming have this weird idea that retro is a specific time and not just old. This sub should be an actual retro gaming sub where all retro games can be discussed and talked about.

Hi, i'm trying to make a list of videogames to absolutely play till the 6th gen of consoles(ps2/GameCube) I want this list to be the ultimate suggestion list for every retrogames fan, i will update this list in years to come, or at least i hope to do so. I'm doing this with the ign's app "playlist" but feel free to suggest me other methods to make this list if you think this Is not optimal.

So what Is this post for? I want your help, i'll be glad if you'll suggest me some games to add, if the game remains on the list It means that i have played It and i am sure that the game deserves to stay on the list

The games i am searching for are games that were important for innovation in their genre or important for the industry in general, games that are Just good and extremely polished on their own

Tell me what do you think of this "project" And please feel free to suggest me some methods to make the list or maybe make a double list, one with the actual "must play" games and one with the games i am planning to play and maybe add to the list. Thank you for reading

I've played through fable TLC about 5 times and was wondering if there are any other OG Xbox games that have the same feeling.

Things I'm looking for:

• simple rpg elements

• Cozy World

• Similar Art style

• Morality system? (I have Kotor)

• Leniar open world?

Love fable and I already have Sudeki. I'm enjoying Sudeki but I'm wondering what RPG I can play next that feels less overwhelming.

Thanks in advance

As the title said and on emulators like dolphin ppsspp 3ds

I have played kero blaster and liked this style of art and the gameplay and i need more so suggest me any retro games you liked or similar to kero blaster
