The RETRO Gaming Thread!

Having a laptop with an HDMI port to the tv and a controller is much easier.

No doubt, but I prefer having a dedicated machine for playing games. Having a laptop next to the TV looks nasty and it's a bit cumbersome. The Raspberry Pi in a case is tiny; like 4 inches long, 2 inches wide and 2 inches high.

Replace Zelda with Metal Gear Solid and I'll agree with you.

PSX/N64 graphics have aged so poorly.

Mini SEGA Genesis Console Throws Down Versus Mini Classic NES, Coming In October

Nintendo really got the gaming community fired up two weeks ago when it announced the NES Classic Edition console. The miniature console packs in 30 classic games, one controller, and hooks up to modern HDTVs with an HDMI cable.
The Japanese gaming company, still basking in the glory of Pokémon Go, then doubled down with a preview trailer that sparked off plenty of 80s nostalgia. Not one to be left out, SEGA is throwing its hat in the ring with the latest iteration of the Mega Drive Classic Game Console (or for those of in the U.S., the Genesis name should perhaps sound a bit more familiar).

At first glance, this miniature Genesis clone looks to be everything that retro gaming fans are asking for. The console ships with 80 games built-in, it comes with two wireless controllers, and the onboard emulator has full compatibility with Genesis cartridges. However, you won’t see any HD goodness here, as the console ships with composite cables that only output standard definition video to your high-end HDTV. There’s also no save game support — something that is possible with the NES Classic Edition.

Judging from the box art, it appears that this latest edition of the Mini Drive Classic Game Console was introduced to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog — on that note, you’ll find no less than 5 Sonic titles on the console. In addition, you’ll have access to other fan favorites including the first three Mortal Kombat games along with a litany of other titles that aren’t really worth mentioning.

The SEGA Mega Drive Classic Game Console is priced at £49.99 (around $65), making it just a few bucks more expensive than the better thought out NES Classic Edition. As of right now, the console is expected to launch sometime in October.

It did, but now it's being re-released to cash in on the mini-NES buzz.

"However, you won’t see any HD goodness here, as the console ships with composite cables that only output standard definition video to your high-end HDTV. There’s also no save game support — something that is possible with the NES Classic Edition."

This fact alone makes it a pass. I still have my old systems and games that can't do native HD. I don't need to buy a new one that can't upscale either.

Went to a flea market this weekend and got a steal.  Guy sold me the original Xbox with 2 controllers for $10.  Stocked up on games from there, my local game shop that also sells older console games and bought some games off eBay.  

I should've gotten this sooner. So many gems.
