After a quarter-century entombed in obscurity, The Dark Eye is revived as Edgar Allan Poe’s Interactive Horror: 1995 Edition, a still-flawed yet serviceable gateway into the fascinatingly nightmarish world of a dark cult favorite...

Playing Need for Speed: Most Wanted on my PS2 and Sony Trinitron, even the calendar is form 2009

The room at my parents house seems permanently stuck in mid 2000s, too bad I can't take the TV with me

This is my third DSL. I love these things. It's the most I've spent on a busted one so far, at $30. The last one I bought was 12, and the one before that was 5. All this one needed though was a new shell and a digitizer. Both screens are in excellent condition. The shell was very yellowed and busted.

Anyway, I had just learned recently that eXtremerate made DSL shells, and I decided I needed to try one out. I am a huge fan of the Switch Lite shell I have from them, it feels nearly OEM.

The DSL shell, not so much. The plastic is pretty soft. That's kind of nice, since I have had issues with previous aftermarket DS shells cracking. The bottom screen bezel is molded in, which I also like. It's hard to get the adhesive ones off without ruining the digitizer. The upper shell does not have the dual square DS logo molded into the top, which is also appreciated. The fit is also very good. No unexpected warping, everything fit together fine.

But the plastic is so soft.. I'm afraid it is going to scratch very easily. Plus, it's painted. I thought it would be gray plastic with some UV printed logos, but it is white plastic painted gray with UV logos. Sort of disappointing. If I ever re-shell it again, I'll get one of their transparent ones. But yeah, probably the best aftermarket DS shell I've seen so far, overall.

Did you know there's a decent DOS emulator for the DS? You aren't going to be playing Doom, but you can play Oregon Trail! Or Jetpack! And lots of other earlier stuff. Bind the buttons to keys, use the stylus for mouse input.

You can also post about the NES however i do want it to be mainly centered about the Famicom

I was watching some random YouTube video that was listing arcade games for some reason (I honestly don't even remember what the video was) and they mentioned a game called Cyber-Lip. I'd never heard of it before but it looked cyberpunk to me so I had to dig deeper. Apparently it's a Neo-Geo arcade game made by SNK in 1990. It's basically a mix between Contra and Metal Slug, except Metal Slug came out in 1996 (also made by SNK). So I guess this game must've been SNK trying out the Metal Slug formula.

Anyway, I have no idea what "Cyber-Lip" means, and I'm not entirely sure this game is cyberpunk beyond the first level. Except the main character is definitely a 90's cyberpunk:

But this game got me thinking... what other cyberpunk arcade games are there? As obsessed as I am with cyberpunk, I can only think of a couple titles that are close. There's the Tron and Discs of Tron games, although those are mostly cyberpunk-by-proxy due to their relation to the movie. But what else is there? The Aerosmith rail-shooter Revolution X?? There's a shoot-em-up called Last Resort whose first level looks cyberpunk to me but I don't think the rest of the game is. And that's all I can come up with! That's crazy to me.

Cyberpunk was in its peak of popularity while arcade games were still popular and yet I'm not aware of any other cyberpunk arcade games. I'm obviously thinking more of the "retro" arcade games here but even if I include modern arcade games, nothing comes to mind.

So help me out, what arcade games can you remember that even might be cyberpunk?

I’ve recapped an Apple 2e and started playing what was one of my first games, the bards tale.

I distinctly recall I beat the game, but I can hardly get 1/2 through the first floor of the first dungeon.

I started grinding near a temple where I can heal my party but the rng encounters make a very hard battle every 4-5 battles that wipe party members.

Reviving a party member cost 900 gold a level so if I do get them leveled up to 2 or 3 it’s too expensive to get a raise.

Anyone else remember this game?

Il riccio blu che ha rivoluzionato i videogiochi!
Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) era nato per sfidare Mario e ci è riuscito alla grande! E' divenne un fenomeno culturale! Il suo primo gioco vendette oltre 15 milioni di copie. E sapete che Sonic Adventure (1998) fu il primo gioco in 3D della serie, il suo tema musicale fu composto da Masato Nakamura. E voi Preferivate Sonic o Mario?

So I just watched a youtube video of Virtual Dimension playing this game; and I was giddy the whole time. Such smooth scrolling and nice graphics, the gameplay is also nice. You are an adventurer in a puzzle like tomb, evading or zapping hostiles, in the search of energy-cells to complete levels.

All you need is an Amiga 500 (with 512kb RAM expansion) with atleast Kickstart 1.3

Its either free on itch.io or as a physical release for 29 EUR

For me, the CRT is the centerpiece of my setups. Its not the same without it.

I have an rca 20" , Samsung 14", and a sansui (orion) 27". All have component. And a Sony wega projector TV that actually has the best projector TV picture ive seen.

I just gave my trusty 26" Sharp to a friend. Had her 20 years. Only had composite though. Great sound.

The original game on which this remaster/update is based on from GOG:

Sea Dogs: City of Abandoned Ships (2009)

my Gameboy collection is my oldest collection and in my most recent buy i bought a game boy color Pokémon blue and of course super mario bros deluxe in a great quality too

I feel like they were going for edutainment vibes with this. Can hardly tell it's for a Dreamcast!

Remember Win Elvis-n-Space? Or Lemmings Paintball? Or even Odyssey Legend of Nemesis?

Found this little gem of a site recently. Unfortunately, it hasn't been updated in a while (last blog post is from Sep 2025)

Or do we need another decade before we can call IPod games retro?

I know this is more emulation based, but still "retro" as it's ps1/ps2 related...maybe yall crazy modders have done this!

Hey ya'll,

I've had this idea for a while, wanting to play all my PS2 games with my friend who never really got a chance to experience PS2. It'd be so great if it would just work on steam remote play, but that is broken as of now (the "remoteplay whatever" on github is the only thing I found, it is broken as of today). The only other option i've seen is Parsec, and you can't host from the Linux side!! Which I need it to. I'm on linux, he's on windows.

In my mind it's not hard.. I need his pc's input, and then stream my video audio to him...the same way steam remote play does it.

Any help appreciated! Even if this could work for Duckstation for ps1 games, that'd still be fun.

This may seem like a dumb idea considering how bad composite is, but I have a couple CRTs that I'd love to use as computer monitors, and I'm not in the position to mod them for component or RGB. I want them to "just work" for the time being. I'm looking for a device that converts modern HDMI to analog, but the only good options seem to be really high end devices with support for every format under the sun, which are great, but way more then I need. Otherwise, what am I left with? Cheap, no-name boxes that'll die in two weeks and add half a second of lag? I'm not sure if the product I need exists, but I figured this would be a good place to ask since I can't find a dedicated CRT community. Any help is appreciated!
