Anyone recommend a PS2 emulating device. Fancy getting PS2 fix in my man shed.   Already have N64 and mega drive retro collection so not really ready to commit to a physical PS2 collection ..read more

Mine arrived, cracking cover - unfortunately mine is destroyed by a sopping wet envelope, I can’t even open it to read as yet so waiting for it to dry ?   ..read more

Anyone up for a biweekly Lets Play Suchandsuch Scrolling Brawler?   I was thinking along the lines of:   2D, so no God Hand Retro, so no Shredder’s Revenge, SoR4 etc Not talked about so much, so no Final Fight, Streets of Rage etc   Run along the lines of the Retro Game Club threads but just for brawlers, and perhaps we could keep it to one thread with a title update when we get a new game. I love the old can’t-go-left brawlers and there must be more people on here who want to talk about the also-rans and the good-but-forgotten ones.   Anyone up for it?   So far we ha ..read more

Does anyone else like playing games set underwater? I've always enjoyed In The Hunt, but I'm largely talking about aquatic-based adventures like the Ecco The Dolphin games, Everblue, Aquanaut's Holiday, Treasures Of The Deep and Endless Ocean? Aside from Treasures Of The Deep which is a tremendously solid action-based FPS, the others are delightful to play when you fancy a little downtime. I'm currently playing through Aquanaut's Holiday: Hidden Memories on PS3 and am having a lovely time discovering long-lost wrecks and cataloguing all manner of underwater creatures. What are your favourite g ..read more

It feels wrong that it's me starting this thread up, given I'm hardly the biggest Nintendo fan on the forum, but there we go! Given the 3DS has had its own thread for a few years now, it only feels fair that its stablemate gets given the treatment.     The design was always a bit odd - the very lightweight and plasticky GamePad coupled with a rounded off Wii as a base console managed to be both unusual yet unexciting at the same time, and said GamePad being front and centre would remain a rod for the console's back throughout its lifetime: barely used by most games, it was seen as a ..read more

Track & Field(US) -Arcade - Hyper Olympic(Japan, Europe) / Hyper Sports   https://youtu.be/irM2bCXxBo8?si=TUU0NdahtHYTX0Mz   Konami’s 1983 pioneering sports game, still holds the record for the largest organised video game competition of all time with over a million players competing in the 1984 International Challenge.   Note: Rllmuk forum Ltd is not responsible for the destruction of any controllers or devices during competitive play of this title.   Looking forward to hearing about everyone’s techniques, finger rolling, ballpoint pen, socked hand!?   Probably t ..read more

Asking for some expert advice here.   I discovered way too late that practically all GBC and most GBA games have internal batteries that eventually die, and if you're no good at soldering, making them useless in the process. PS3 has the dreaded CMOS weakness (which Sony thankfully removed for the PS4), making the console useless as well when the battery dies. So, except for regular wear and tear (disc drives dying; thermal paste drying up etc.) consoles like the NDS, 3DS, WiiU, PS4 and Switch seem to be built to last longer than the aforementioned consoles.   Any other consoles and p ..read more

I have this little tabletop pacman game but difficult to remove back cover and all the plastic is very sticky to touch. Any ideas how to remove the stickiness ..read more

The Gameboy appreciation thread is mostly about screens nowadays. Which is fine, but I thought we could have a gameplay thread for fans of the mighty monochrome handheld.    I had in mind its running along the same lines as the brawlers thread. Someone nominates a game, then nominates someone else when a couple of weeks passes.   We don’t have to do outstanding games - I’d be delighted to get back into Golf, Tennis and other playable but less memorable titles.   If you’re interested, post, and if we get a group of people we can get the ball rolling.   Shadow Warriors&n ..read more
