!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Nothing is stopping you from this right now

Except the cost of the console and games. :(

Also, Beetle Adventure Racing > Wrestlemania

You guys don't keep your childhood consoles?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

I would have if I had the luxury of storage.

Not all of us came from stable backgrounds. My father lost everything we owned when I was in the Army because he couldn't stop gambling and didn't pay our storage unit... My entire fucking Magic the Gathering collection. I had power 9 and a full duel lands set, many many decks. Not to mention all my consoles and games.

Someone stole it from me when I was 18.

Your phone has enough power to emulate an N64 and roms are free. Ain't nobody making royalties 25 years later on Wrestlemania.

Argggh the seas of piracy are calm and rife with plunder

Well, yes, I have a gaming PC as well. (and a steam deck) It just ain't the same without the OG controller. Need to get a USB one eventually but I'm poor.

I do still have some of my original carts as well. Same with a bunch of NES carts I got from my previous job. Been eyeing those modern consoles that work with NES carts because that would be nice to have in the living room.

They are pretty cheap. Around 50 bucks. With the box around 150. SNES is expensive compared to it. Also, Diddy Kong racing > beetle adventure racing.

Ahhh beetle adventure racing! Brings back memories. I found a legit "cheat" way to play by doing something like turning and then clicking handbrake? A few times and it would take super sharp turns depending on how many times you click handbrake no matter the speed you were going. Allowed be to beat the game and unlock all cars pretty easily.

Did you find the secret level?

[–] StopSpazzing 1 points 10 months ago

I want to say yes, but honestly that was such a long time ago. I remember there was an "out of this world" secret car but I don't remember much else.
