Yeah, those have become a haven for pirates.
Luckily I got most of my games back in the day from regular stores and the ones I've picked up in the years since from sellers who know what they are doing, so I doubt I have any fakes.
They are a bit harder to spot since they don't have these kinds of easy markings.
@PixelBandits I don't know about favorite but it's up there for me (my favorite is Sonic CD). It is one of the few sonic games I own an original copy of for the actual genesis though. I would imagine a lot of people get stuck on the second zone, the machine is way more unforgiving with instant death zones, especially if you don't know where to go.

@khalidabuhakmeh I can’t keep up. Was always a PC gamer. Got an Xbox360 and was happy with it. Got a PS4 later on. Absolute trash. Had to reboot it every time I wanted to access the store. Sucked up all the dust it could find. 1 year later it is a noisy potato and warranty laughs in my face.
I’ll stick with PC. This console business is not client friendly. #SteamDeck for me for the next many years. Sony and Microsoft can do their thing. I’m happier with Linux
I’m having way too much #RetroGaming fun with this Miyoo Mini+. Installed #OnionOS this morning which adds so many useful features. Nice theme switcher where I found a fave, which you can see in the video.
Also got hooked up with RetroAchievements, a website that creates and tracks achievements in these old #videogames. This was $70 well spent and I’m just getting started! (Literally… with the original Legend of Zelda)
@kevinctofel Love my Miyoo Mini... I also set up retroachievements on my PS1 Classic running AutoBleem... and man... some of these Achievements are hard!
3D Pinball for Windows: The Space Cadet's Mission Continues
Do you know what computer games and the Voyager space probes have in common? Clever engineering can extend their missions way beyond their intended lifetime.
3D Pinball for Windows – Space Cadet, the iconic game bundled with the Microsoft Plus! packs and included in Windows NT4 up to Windows XP, is preserved for decades to come thanks to a reverse engineering project by Andrey Muzychenko.
Warhawk was easily one of the top releases for the Spectrum Next at launch, but it also happens to serve as a fantastic upgrade to a brilliant budget blaster too!
So let's dive into it, and the original version to see just what an upgrade it is!
I am trying out my new Elgato Game Capture Neo connected to my M1 MacBook Air and an XBOX Series X. I am getting no signal in the OBS software. QuickTime is the same. The TV is showing the video from the XBOX Series X fine. Any ideas?
@OutofPrintArchive yeah, there was also a Brazilian version with famous local cartoon characters. Weird thing is my brother married a Brazilian woman and she never even heard of it 😅
I think I might have seen that one before as someone once sent me a picture of his Wonder Boy collection and I remember being amazed that there were games in there that I never even heard off at the time.
It took them a very long time, but Limited Run finally got both the regular Game Boy as well as the newly done Game Boy Color version of Trip World to me.
@Thaeyn
I wouldn't really know where to start. 😅
And to be honest, I'm quite embarrassed at how big it has gotten...
Then again, it started in 1992 more or less and by 1995, I actively started collecting as I was able to pick up tons of NES games for super cheap as shops were trying to get rid of them.
Then moved on to SNES, Mega Drive, Master System and basically anything I had missed out on.
Always looking a couple generations back and searching for great deals.
