The RETRO Gaming Thread!

[stick]

Is Half-Life 2 considered a "retro" game ? I've been playing through it for the first time over the past week and I can't put it down. Amazing game. Should finish it up tonight or tomorrow and then I'll be moving on to Episodes 1&2.

I've been putting off playing this for so long now.

Gotta give that a run through this winter.

If you have Xbox One or 360, The Orange Box (HL2 compilation) is available for $20 on the marketplace. Well worth it.

I finished the first game on Saturday. As a whole, once of the best campaigns I've ever played. Took me around 14 hours to complete. The ending was kinda wack but I guess back in the day they were going for a cliffhanger to keep the hype alive . Episode 1 picks up right where it left off though.

Yeah, pretty amazing considering what we actually get in our games nowadays (sometimes ).

It's mind boggling how some games were $70 and we would beg are parents to buy it not knowing how pricey these games were, BACK THEN.

^ Pretty cool, but those 30 games are all it will ever have. Nintendo has said that they won't offer any other games or expanded storage options to add your own games.

Dumb move by Nintendo

it's not made for gamers

if you're into games you prolly have a Wii or Wii U with virtual console and have these games already or have the og systems and games already

the mini is pointless to me

I remember all the N64 game were so expensive

I finally got Mario 64 when it was a million seller or something and it dropped to like $50
