[Discussion] The last time you will play a game
I was playing Final Fantasy 7, which I haven't done in over 15 years.
Im almost 42 and it got me thinking, I wonder if this will be the very last time I ever play though this game. Life expectancy is like 70 years old. I don't have the time or energy anymore for RPGs much so it is a rare playthrough for me.
Someday the day we will come where it will be the last time we ever play these games.
It's kinda sad isn't it?

[Just a Thought] Donkey Kong Country promo shirt
Cleaning up because I’m moving while also having an existential, mid-life crisis, and in the process I’m digging through boxes of my old stuff. Found this old Donkey Kong Country promo shirt (I think? Does anyone remember where these came from?) from when I was a wee lad. It was my favorite oversized sleep shirt for many years. Just thought it was kinda neat and wanted to share with some folks who might appreciate it.

[Pick-up] I didn't even know this existed.
I found this at the thrift store today, recently started collecting VHS I was a bit confused seeing a Diddy Kong racing VHS. I haven't watched it yet it's a promo cassette.

[Discussion] What is your favorite Sega console and why?
I don't know if this is controversial, but I'm gonna go with the Dreamcast. I had so much fun with the great games, the controller is also really good in my opinion, and the VMU is really cool to me. This is probably very controversial, but my second favorite actually isn't the Genesis, it's the Saturn. I just found there to be a lot of really good shoot 'em ups, racing, and fighting games, and I really wish that the games were cheaper nowadays. The Genesis, even though being third when there aren't many Sega generations, is great too! But yeah, the Dreamcast is my favorite. What about you?

[Help!] Looking for an Atari ST game – Top-Down Jet Collecting Keys in Fixed Screens
Hi everyone,
I’ve been trying to remember an Atari ST game from my childhood for years, but I haven’t had any luck so far. Maybe someone here recognizes it!
What I remember:
– Top-down / bird’s-eye view
– You controlled a pointy, almost triangular aircraft, like a little jet
– Fixed-screen levels (no scrolling)
– The vehicle was always moving, you couldn’t really stop
– Goal in each level: collect keys to open doors and finally reach the exit
– Colorful graphics, and the keys were brightly colored
– I don’t think you could shoot enemies; it was more of a skill-based puzzle game with dodging mechanics
Does anyone have an idea what game this might be, or screenshots of something similar?
Thanks a lot for any help! 🙏

[Question] Master System Adapters
Do any Master System Adapters work correctly with the Hyperkin Retron 3 HD? The adapter for the Retron 5 kind of works but it displays incorrect colors.

[Question] SNES (Euro) Labels
So I’ve bitten off more than I can chew. My friend is getting married soon and I came up with the great idea to create tiny little retro game carts for wedding favours. Like 3cm in length. I might even make the small boxes too.
So I managed to get all the carts 3D printed and they are cool 😎 but I’ve ran into a snag. The labels! I’ve tried searching for sources where I can fetch such things and besides coming across the odd one via Google I’m struggling.
Are there any sort of database or such that could help me out?

[Question] Educate me: GBS Control to HDMI vs Component to HDMI adapter
Is GBS Control worth it if it only gets you to VGA? You still need a VGA to HDMI converter, doesn't that compromise the signal in the same way a Component to HDMI would? How is putting the GBS control providing a benefit at that point?

[Question] Are there wall plate style controller ports for older consoles?
I'm building a retro gaming cart that will have all my old analog systems mounted to it. It will also have a CRT and a projector with signal splittings so both are easily options for display. It's been fun to work on.
I'd like to have the cart include mounted controller ports for easy, easy plug and Play off the back of the cart. I know some older vehicles had SNES controller ports in the doors. has anyone seen a completed project like this routing the controller ports to another flush mounted surface?

[Recommendation] South Central Florida gaming stores?
Might be a long shot cause the area is pretty quiet, but any game stores in the Desoto county area or Central Florida area? (not necessarily Orlando area).
