When did you realize retrogaming was far superior than modern gaming?
>this is what manchildren actually believe
It is but I can't enjoy them like I did in my younger years. To be fair, nothing seems very much fun anymore, but I just wish some things would last forever

Depends how you look at things

I hate that word but for narrowminded folk like OP I'll make an exception

Some hours ago, Super Metroid is fucking amazing.
wish i could get one of those PVM/BVM
I know what's ideal, but I'm just not strong enough nor able to lead a retro life, so I resort to emulation which is the closest I get. Retroarch ain't that bad

2 days ago when I managed to put DOOM 1+2 on my android phone. It is so much fucking fun.

While you're not wrong, only about 5 games are worth playing. Why do people pride themselves virtue singnaling past mistakes is beyond me. Do you keep a shelf with pictures of past dinners you've had too?

LOL
ps2 is the best console and it will never get any better

Too bad collecting retro games is expensive as fuck
>$300 for popful mail

I have an option to get myself one of these Sony monitors and I have to ask does it have s video? Does it have more than one input slot? Right now I am using a Sanyo CRT which is better than the RCA I was using but I am not 100% satisfied with it
>>343176458
emulation exists brah
collecting them for the most part is more or less just to collect them, or you really want the pefect experience (sometimes emulation is janky with certain games)
when i realized i could just emulate them on various systems and not have to spend $300 to get acceptable IQ in N64 games.

by the time ps3 and xbox 360 came out

I always knew, because it isn't "retro" to me; I grew up with those games and never stopped playing them. While I appreciate the amount of work people put into their retro rooms to "old school game", I am really put off by attempting to do that myself. I don't feel a need to make my room look like the 80s, or buy an obnoxiously enormous CRT. I don't think old games and consoles are something that should sectioned off to their own "containment area". I want to play them right next to my 360, PS4, wiiU, etc.
If it wasn't for the Xrgb mini and some great new console mods that bypass the analog signal to output laglessly through HDMI, I would have probably just stuck with emulation. But this shit is pricey as fuck, so I don't expect everyone to go that route.

That's the thing I want the perfect experience and the satisfaction of owning them. Also lets me play the real deal instead I didn't get to experience growing up. My family had a genesis but we never had a sega cd but instead a 32X

If you have a 4k monitor the CRT shaders are breddy fuggin gud now.
Reminder that these systems are retro:
GBA
DS
PSP
PS2
Gamecube
Xbox
Wii
Retro
>relating to, reviving, or being the styles and especially the fashions of the past
Modern games are not designed nor do they look like games released on these systems. The Wii was a fad that died so it's the first of its gen to be retro.
My humble little set up. Forgive the measuring tape there that's from earlier when I was measuring the size of a shelf I need to order
Last year I got myself a new snes with a few games. It's a highlight everytime people come over and wanna play some mario kart or street fighter 2.

Get the original console and then get the flashcart.
You can buy original cartridges after you save some dosh.
If you're playing something like PS1, PS2, PS3, you can softmod or CFW it to run the ISOs.

>You can buy original cartridges after you save some dosh
What I am doing but damn does it get expensive. I somehow managed to snag myself the western release of Shining Force 3 with original case, manual and cover for $150 recently but fuck some games are just stupidly over priced.
I just want to own the original game tho, no cfw, no burned copies. I want the real deal
meh. i have no nostalgia for anything before PS1, and while those SNES/NES games can be fun i can play the best ones on my Wii U, and most other ones are just platformers.
that being said, i love my PS2 and have a giant stack of games, most of them were cheap as fuck and i got them in the last 5 years or so.

Could you tell me the model of that Sony please.
I've been looking for something like that for a while.
>>343168768
Sony TV guy again, requesting source on this one too. Sorry but thanks.
>>343180426
I had that nickelodeon radio thing too. It was pretty clutch, but honestly even if I knew where it was I wouldn't put it on display like that.
