AboutDo you fondly remember TV Tennis? Did you fail your degree because you were addicted to Ghosts and Goblins? Did "polygon graphics" once mean "Elite" to you? Was a BBC B the toy that only schools and the rich kids had?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, or even think you're in the same mindset, this is probably the community for you.
I'm trying to classify exactly what retro gaming is and it's proving a lot more difficult than I thought. Any suggestions for a definitive dividing line would be much appreciated (please make suggestings in the community journal) but for now I'm saying that snes and megadrive (1989-90ish) are excluded but Atari ST, Amiga and Archimedes (1985-87ish) are included, for some reason that divide feels right. I'd also appreciate suggestions for any old consoles I've missed off the interests list. Massive mental block here.
If you want to advertise items from your online auctions here, please make sure they're retro gaming related only.
