Retro Gaming Thread



I just stick the shits into folders for each specific console/computer. MAME roms have their own folder outside of these. Dos games have their own environment that I just point to in DOSBox.

I guess maybe it's more work for those handhelds???

Techdweeb is basically showing you how to organize your ROMs for a front end like ES-DE which can scrape box art and make your collection look good.

Tyrian. Great SHMUP similar to Raptor.



^^^ This is me playing it briefly.



Hocus Pocus is a neat little puzzle platformer





The original Grand Theft Auto is a nice one. This video is using the the 3DFX DOS version, the non-accellerated one is a bit more pixelated.





For first person shooters, there's a shitload of them: Doom, Quake, Rise of the Triads, Heretic and Hexen, Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, etc.




Jazz Jackrabbit also came to mind. Platformer with definite Sonic vibes to it.





I'll post more as I think of them.

There's some that I intentionally avoided 'cause they really need a keyboard or keyboard/mouse combo like Warcraft and Warcraft II, Mechwarrior 2 and Mechwarrior Mercenaries, Earthsiege, and Metaltech Battledrome.

Damn, forgot about Alone in the Dark. Great game.

Outer World/Another World is a great one as is Flashback: The Quest For Identity ( had this for the Sega CD and Outer World for the Atari ST)
