@captainarcee Oh yeah, solid state storage is a lifesaver!

Are there things, outside of gaming itself, that your retro gaming hobby has improved or positively changed? It can be anything.

My example is in the replies! :rp_kc:

@captainarcee It's pretty solid! My library there is really small compared to GOG (as I generally prefer GOG due to its overall experience) but it's still worth looking, especially if a retro game isn't already on GOG.

It's often overshadowed by GOG because of its easily-confused name (and GOG is just much bigger) but ZOOM Platform is a solid, DRM-free games distributor that has quite a few old school titles, some of which GOG doesn't have.

Worth a look if you can't find a specific retro title on GOG!

So... to any of the C64 fans out there.

What are your top 3 games on the C64? I'm thinking about checking out some of the best games on the hardware and I'd love to hear what Retro Gaiden (and the Fediverse as a whole) have to say!

Hey y'all, I'm going to utter retro gaming blasphemy!

I genuinely think that the reason Sonic 3 receives so much love and praise is due to nostalgia and not much else.

Seriously, this is one Sonic game I DIDN'T play as a kid. Playing it now as an adult, it just isn't fun to me like 1 & 2 are. The levels are frustrating, enemy placement is infuriating, the special stages are total crap...

The only thing it has going for it is the sheer scale of the game.

Not to mention some really crappy level gimmicks, a general lack of direction within zones and the BUGS... am I crazy or does this game have way more bugs than 1 and 2? :terry_nono:

@madeindex @Mastodon @moderation @gavi Unfortunately, the Fediverse is absolutely full of degenerates obsessed with their kinks or, in this case, illegal and despicable ideologies.
