Thread: Retro/Old School Gamers??

Well, I don't call myself a gamer, but I'm all for the Retroolder games! D My first game was Galiga on my dads old Midway Coleco, lap arcade machine thingy w And ever since my love for retro games as been great. Granted I'm not that old, so I can't love it like some, but oh well Hrm, Thief! I really enjoyed the Thief series, even though that's just older, but still, great series. And they just updated it too, so yayyyyyy

Thread: Retro/Old School Gamers??

Yes! I am an old-gamer if one would say! I am a gamer myself, and I enjoy pretty much everything from the Playstation 12 backwards. My favourite line of consoles has been Sony with their awesome Playstation 1 which I had since I was three until I turned fourteen...or thirteen....well, mostly because my dad fixed it everytime it broke down mostly because the lens got dirty and I had an awesome time with that. Oh the memories...Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Twisted Metal, Vigilante 8...I still play them on the ePSXe emulator...but come on! It's not the same, ya' know?
Thread: Retro/Old School Gamers??

My first video game system was an Atari 2600 that my dad picked up at a yard sale. Talk about old school! My favorite games were Combat, Pitfall, Bowling, Asteroids, Berzerk, and Maze Craze. I loved playing the games with my parents, and my mom was especially good at Berzerk. We would change the game setting to include a character called Evil Otto, an invincible, silly smiley face that would chase after you. It was hilarious, and deadly. It's amazing what they could do with such an old system. It's in my attic now, and I have a PS2 atari game that includes a lot of old school classics, but I'd like to play with the real system again sometime, even though it would probably be a pain to get working.
Thread: Retro/Old School Gamers??

My first video game system was an NES, but I have very little memory of playing it. The only games I remember playing on that were Mario, Duck Hunt, and Castlevania. When I got a Super Nintendo, I played the shit out of that. Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Mario, Ninja Turtles, Kirby I played the shit out of Kirby Superstar. As the years went on, I got newer consoles like the N64, then Playstation, a Dreamcast for a short time, the PS2, an original Xbox, a 360, and a Wii. Lately I've been playing a lot less modern games, since a lot of them turn out to be pretty much the same, and I've gone back to playing quite a few old-school games through emulators. I played Shin Megami Tensei, the Castlevanias I missed, and many classic Nintendo games. As for current games I'm playing, most of them are handhelds. Kirby Triple Deluxe on my 3DS, which is surprisingly challenging for a Kirby game. I'm also playing Borderlands 2 on my Vita, which was an entertaining shooter that I've been meaning to get back to. Also, for those of you that played old-school RPGs, I recommend getting Demon Gaze if you have a Vita. It plays a lot like those RPGs from back in the day, with the first-person dungeon crawling, the random encounters, and the difficulty of an old-school RPG even on easy, the game still kicks my ass many times.
Thread: Retro/Old School Gamers??

When I saw the name of this thread I couldn't help but click on it. It's rare to find people that are old school gamers. My first gaming system was the NES with Scheherazade and Maniac Mansion being my two favorite games. I even beat up my cousin who is 4 years older than me when I was little over Scheherazade. Even though I grew up with the NES and SNES, the Playstation has always been my era of games. I can remember playing Tomb Raider 2 and Resident Evil 2 for the first time and thinking how amazing and magical they were. I can honestly say that I enjoy Playstation games over the new generation of games. It just seems that the new generation of games focus too much on graphics and less on story and gameplay. Anyway, here is a list of all the consoles I own. first generation Atari 2600 second generation Atari 2600 NES SNES Nintendo 64 Gamecube Wii XBox XBox 360 Sega Genesis Sega Saturn Sega CD Sega Dreamcast Playstaion PS2 PS3 PS4 Virtual Boy I think I got all of them. I would mention all of the handhelds but that would make this post even bigger.

Huzzah and hooray for the retro gaming! Seriously, it warms my heart reading these posts. Maniac Mansion! Now there's a game that brings back memories! Lots of memories. I still remember that one theme that used to make me jump every time I heard it whenever that tentacle or the son would show up. XD Great game! nods I loved how each character had their own theme and such too and how you could have a different story with each character too. My fave characters to use in that game were Michael the photographer and Razor the punk rocker chick. But I did play the game with each and every character just to say I did it. LOL!

I always played Razor and it was a tossup between Wendy or Bernard for the second person. I thought it was awesome that every character had their own theme. I really want to play it now.

I've got a Sega Genesis still hooked up to my TV as we speak. My three favorite games are Radical Rex, Dinosaurs for Hire, and Boogerman. Boogerman is only there because my Pitfall cartridge died on me.
Thread: Retro/Old School Gamers??

My father is a very interesting man. He got through university by buying arcade machines and setting them up in the common rooms of the university he went to, on top of working many jobs on the side. After he got married to my mother, and after he graduated, he had ran an arcade for many years before joining his profession for the rest of his life. We still have a lot of the old games, an old standing cabinet of centipede, an old standing cabinet of asteroids, a few pinball machines. My siblings and I ourselves had been game collectors for god knows how long. I only remember growing up with the NES and SNES as far as retro goes, unless you count the n64 and playstation. My favorite NES game was this silly baseball game. I can't remember the name of the game for the life of me, but my brother would always play against me in it, where the players were robots and you could have like side scrolling fights and what not. My first super nintendo game was Super Metroid, followed by Final Fantasy 6. Those are arguably my two favorite games of all time. This was then followed by Super Earth Defense Force, Secret of Mana, and many more. As I grew older, I got obsessed with pixel art, to the point I had been hacking into roms to snag unused sprites A lot of sprite sheets I made are on the spriter's resource under an alt name. Managed to hack my own versions of some roms with changed graphics or parameters. To this day I still love kicking up old games!
Thread: Retro/Old School Gamers??

I just had to respond to this. I can smell the nostalgia already. I grew up on the NES as a wee-one. I remember having a Sega Genesis and even trying out the Sega Channel. But my fondest memories are of the SNES. I recall as a youth scrapping my pennies together to afford one. It came with Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past. I remember thinking how f'ing sweet it looked. I played the hell out of Super Metroid. But Final Fantasy 6 and Chrono Trigger will always be my favorites. While I either sold, lost, or got rid of most old school gaming items, I still held onto FF6 and CT, even the Player's Guide for CT. I just like looking back at them sometimes and recalling some fond memories. Good times.
Thread: Retro/Old School Gamers??

Hooked up along with my PS3 at this moment I've for the original Xbox, PS2, Dreamcast and my trusty Retron 2 that I am using to work my way through A Link to the Past and Star Tropics and I have a pretty nice library of NES and PSone games.

Just got my Xperia Play back, so I'm about to set up my final, all-in-one, all-encompassing retro device. I need recommendations on good Android emulators for all systems up to the 64 - Game recommendations are unneeded, as I'm planning on using marked SD cards with entire system libraries on them, for that cart-switching feel.

So, I'm making this for thoughts of consciousness, dreams, and what not. I'll spruce it up and hopefully provide you guys with some fun stuff going on in my exciting life. I love opening up to people, and feel free to comment yourself. I love talking to other people just about life too.
Thread: A captain's log (Journal OPEN to comments)

Okay, I'm giving this thing another shot for several reasons. This isn't gonna be anything fancy, but just more of a place for me to 'journal' and for others to just 'breathe' at the end of my days. A quick check of the date reveals that it's been almost exactly three years since I last journaled and boy has a lot happened. 1. I graduated high school and went off to college. 2. I discovered alcohol and the fun that entails. 3. I decided I wanted to be a political scientist rather than a regular scientist. 4. I took in over 80,000 in loans to try and pay for the private school I went to. 5. I transferred schools this year and came back home to live with my parents, brother and 12 year old black lab. So now we're all caught up with the happenings of my sad, adventurous life and I guess I'll be pretty much here to rant around how much life sucks here and there and what sucks about it. Of course there'll be the occasional bright spot, like the fact that my mom might be getting her first full time job in half a year so that she can work to keep our family afloat, and the fact that the school year is almost over finally. But in the end, I'm really here to just talk... because talking does a load of good to the soul. It helps to offload the bad things, and the good as well and that's exactly what a journal does. I want to interact with people on here it's part of my effort to be more and more involved with Blue Moon as someone whose been on here for about three years now. I've found it helps to offload and talk, even if it's to people who are anonymous on the internet, but that's the joy of it. I guess that's it for now.... Captains log Day 2 Morale Low Optimism High So long for now. Look forward to hearing from you peeps!
Thread: A captain's log (Journal OPEN to comments)

Captains log Day 2 Morale Ehhh Optimism Still highish Tuesdays are often the toughest day of the week. Coming right off the heels of Monday, I have three of my toughest classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but they're definitely harder on Tuesdays than Thursdays, but enough about that. I still haven't heard back from any of the dozen of internships I've applied for and have resigned myself that I won't hear back from any of them. How are you supposed to ever get a political internship if literally every internship requires previous experience for you to be even qualified for the job. It makes no freaking sense... So most likely I'll hopefully be getting a job this summer with the local law firm or something like that. I've also recently become a certified bartender, so on top of a hopeful day job or internship with a night job bartending somewhere downtown or in the city. I'm like 95 confident I'll get a bartending job, so we'll have to see. For now though, I have to get through the last nine days of class and the various papers and tests coming in the next three weeks. Five exams.... three or four papersessays. Just a whole shitload of stuff. I'm not too worried about it though honestly. I work best under pressure and deadlines, and I've only really got one or two really tough classes and other than that, I'm not too concerned. On the home front things are alright. Bro is at a Panic! concert tonight and mom locked down an interview for a full time teaching job next year, which is big for us as a family as she also starts training for her part time job this weekend. My brother is working now as a busboy at a sushi restaurant and I hope to be employed within the next month or so, which will be a blessing. Now if I could only get my lazy ass father off his ass and get him back out there.... he's the reason our family is in this mess in the first place For now, I'll sign off of my log... happy sailing and fair winds!

Captain's Log Day 3 Morale Low Optimism Lower Just a rough end to what was an okay week. Hit a brick wall earlier this evening and have only gotten lower since. Trying to communicate with and just hang out with other people usually alleviates the... I don't want to say pain... but just the general 'eh' and 'blergh' feelings I have going on through my mind. Nothing really happened to trigger they way I'm feeling right now... I think... but being involved on the site more this week than I have more so in the past has kept me in general higher spirits ever since I decided to do my 'reboot'. It is however a three day weekend, so here's hoping that I'll improve through this weekend which is unlikely... see? Low optimism right there. It's just I've got a bunch of church stuff I'm going to get dragged to this weekend since its easter and all... and then on top of that, I have to do a buttload of research for my paper I have due next week. A reminder or notice. This is IN NO WAY me asking for a pity party.... I'm doing what this section of the forum tells me that I'm allowed to do... which is to journal... so... here I am... docking for the night. Here's hoping we wake to calmer seas and firm strong winds in the morning.

Captain's Log Day 4 Morale Better Optimism Ehhh The last twenty-four hours or so have been hectic. Yesterday started out pretty normal... but then we got a call saying that my grandmother had taken a pretty nasty fall. Luckily my mom's family was there, so they were able to get her to the hospital pretty quick. Long story short... I got to spend 7 hours with my two aunts and my second youngest cousin yesterday. So that was okay. And it turns out grandma just got a really bad case of vertigo... her equilibrium has always been off for the last several years. No concussion but we've been taking shifts over at her place to help make sure she doesn't have any other nasty spills. So exciting stuff obviously! As for school... I'm officially at the procrastination stage of my statistical analysis paper... but it'll get done. I always finish something strong by the deadline. Bye for now!

I think a lot of polical internships expect previous experience as a way to give internships as a reward for those who work on political campaigns, since even volunteer jobs there can count. It is, after all, politics. That is at least what most of my friends who were in poly sci ended up finding out.

And I won't get into it tooo much because I dont want to upset other users based on their political views on here... but long story short you couldn't have paid me to work on either of those campaigns last year... plain and simple. I'm hoping to maybe get involved with something at citystatecongressional level in the next year or so... but we'll have to see. Politics is all about who you know... its a tough game and shark... and I don't even know if I'll enter the field. It's a little too cutthroat for me to be quite honest.

Captain's Log Day 5 Morale Insane Optimism Who the hell knows? Wednesday April 19, 2017 ---- Today and the next 36 hours or so will be hectic for me as I work to complete a paper I've been holding off on doing these last couple of weeks. it's not big deal as I work best under pressure and it has to get done, so it will. My only problem are distractions and my ADD will take hold. I plan to hole myself up in my school's library building all afternoon and into the evening. 4-10 PM in an attempt to get it done. Once this is done, I'll be finally re-writing a new request thread, I've had the same silly ones since I joined here and they're in no way indicative of how my 21 year old mind works compared to my 18 year old mind. Honestly, I still love like every single kink on there, but I've lately trended more towards a darker side... I have a certain large Bear to thank for that... cough cough... but honestly, I'll probably start to rework it this weekend and hopefully get something nice and pretty done. Also... a poll as I recently changed my avatar... do you guys like it? Should I change it? What to? Here I go rambling again, time to go force myself to stare at a computer screen all day and try and get the creative juices flowing. Here goes nothing!
