In the late 80's, I distinctly remember going to a kid's science museum and there was a "Videophone" and it was going to be the future and everyone was going to have videophones. And now we have videophones, but we call it like Skype, or facetime, or zoom, so I'm asking you, please, before you next say "oh, let's meet over Teams" , try saying "I'll call you on the videophone" it'll make you feel much more like you're living in a moon dome from the year 2000.

Whilst I'm in a #ResidentEvil 2 kind of place, I once again highlight this mystery. Can any #RetroGaming people help me out?? What's going on with this window has bothered me for years 😅 https://hundstrasse.com/2019/01/21/resident-evil-2-rabbit-hole-involving-windows/

If you're going to buy a disc only copy of a game then make sure you get the one in the best possible non-original-case. I present my newly acquired copy of Bloody Roar for #PS1, disc only in a #BlockbusterVideo rental case....

It's been on my side for the past few hours and I swear I keep catching the box in the corner of my eye thinking "I'd better return that..." #RetroGaming

After trying all three #GBA #JurassicPark games I decided to throw a blog post together about them. TLDR: 'Dino Attack' all the way! #RetroGaming #Gaming #Blogging https://hundstrasse.com/2024/02/05/jurassic-park-iii-gba-games-three-times-the-wha/

A cool #RetroGaming project that I hacked together a few years ago was something that strapped to the front of my G-Con2 and let me play #PS2 #LightGun games with the original hardware on a modern TV.

It uses a Wii style camera and beacon to work out screen position. Then, by stripping the sync trigger from the composite video signal, times an LED to flash at the gun's light sensor at the moment when a hypothetical CRT beam would scan through that point. 1/3 🧵 #Arduino

This is your regular reminder: Whatever the cool things are that the other perks offer, always.... ALWAYS.... take the perk that earns you X% more XP first.

Finally dug my #MiniDisc player out. Currently charging some batteries; gonna make some nice #VGM mixes... But more importantly, why have we abandoned physical media?? Just look at these. Look at what you could be storing your music on. 🤩

#RetroGaming pickup of today was a very cheap copy of Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy) for #PS2. Ok, so it's a re-pickup as I sold mine years ago 🙄

I remember enjoying the opening scene where you actually have some bearing over the game before it descended into lengthy quicktime event battles.... Or am I misremembering? Is there more there than I recall?

Because I love my little grey rectangle, I've just picked up what looks to be a serviceable backup #PS1 for the inevitable moment my own one fails. Just wondering, how do other original hardware #RetroGaming folks manage spares/backup hardware?

Hundstrasse, 16 days ago to retrogaming

Anyone #RetroGaming anything good at the moment? I'm still on my PSP kick playing MGS Peace Walker which I think is going to keep me busy for a while. Especially as I'm not great at it 😶.

So happy I picked up a PSP again though. Such a fun console. I maaayyy have also bought Silent Hill Origins. I think that's probably all the games that I definitely want for it, but any suggestions of hidden gems that I should look out for?

Just think. If the fediverse didn't exist I would have had to spend close to £266k on stamps to send all my toots to followers by post.

I'm halfway though #TombRaider on #PS1, and everyone else seems to be currently playing classic Lara in the remasters, but I can't currently spend much time on the #RetroGaming nook, so I've fired up Rise of the Tomb Raider on Steam Deck... And my retro brain is always amazed by how good games look on this thing. #ShareYourGames

Can any #RetroGaming people help me out here? I have a distinct memory of a Manga style "tutorial" for #MetalGearSolid (#MGS) that was printed in the manual, but I've just checked and it's not there. Am I misremembering it for a different game? Or have I lost it?

It covered the basic actions in the game...

After many years I have a PSP again! I part traded my very dusty N64 for it. Gonna give it some turn based card based stealth based Metal Gear Ac!d happenings! #RetroGaming #ShareYourGames
