Anyone else into RETRO gaming?
I recently made a Zelda shrine down in my mancave that includes my N64 and SNES (I own OOT and ALTTP cartridges of course). (Big regret I threw out my NES in 2011, I wished I would have attempted to fix or at least hacked it to make something cool).
Anyways, I am a Raspberry Pi enthusiast and have been getting into retro game emulation. I am running an Atari 800 emulator, an Atari 2600 emulator, and MAME. Also have an NES emulator on Ubuntu.
It is so fun...I have mostly been playing the Atari emulators and have like 4 Star Wars games, some Star Trek games, and quite a few versions of Pac Man and Mario Bros.
Some other ones that I like are Bruce Lee(awesome!), and DEFENDER!!!
But my all time favorite has to be River Raid.
To be honest, this is the only gaming I do outside of the Nintendo universe, my newest systems are Wii U and 3ds(currently playing Hyrule Warriors and finally got around to purchasing WW HD and A Link between words).
I don't know a lot of other "gamers" like me, truth is I'm not much of a "gamer" but I love to fiddle with emulators and older electronics...
I would rather play Contra (1987) more than Call of Duty anyday...
