    recently been getting into collecting, emulating, etc. currently have 386 games in my backlog across all the systems and etc.

    gotta say my favorite "retro" system would be the gamecube. i don't know how "retro" it is considering it's only roughly 21 years old or so, but i think it's catalog is amazing, it was decently powered, but held back by those dumbass discs. really like chibi robo, twighlight princess, some of the other games too.

    also into the n64 as well, been wanting to get one and play some conker and goldeneye but fuck it's just so expensive rn.

    overall, gameboy line dominates all

    edit: also have an aftermarket knockoff emulation console that runs NES and SNES carts. got some good games on those and it runs them p well, but i try to use common sense when it comes to collecting. i just don't see the point in spending 30 bucks on an NES game (while money's tight, ofc, if i had it to spare i'd have the whole NA set but i'm not loaded), i could just either emulate it on my phone or get it on my 3ds eshop.

    worst purchase i've made as a collected was the fucking game & watch for mario's 35th anniversary. waste of money, but don't necessarily regret buying it.

    Is tf2 retro yet?

    I need to find a guy to fix my N64 for me, I still have that laying around with some very old games that I am willing to boot up again.

    If we ever get our collection out of storage I'll have to take pics for you. We have every system except Sega Genesis and Dreamcast. Well and the XBox 1 and PS 5. That's not even counting our emulators.

    the gamecube is retro! if the NES was retro at the time of the gamecube, then the gamecube is retro nowadays. anything else anyone says is pure elitism imo.

    also drop yr backloggd, if you have one!!
    --- Post merged ---
    double post, cry about it
    i know this message is bait (or maybe just a shitty joke?) but i just wanna emphasise on how good sm64 is and how well it stands up today

    speedrunning this game is an otherworldly experience and has been one of the most fun things i have ever done in gaming (ask our community 16 star wr contender @Racingman1)

    there are also SO MANY great rom hacks of this game that are so worthy of checking out. a great online catalog of these recently opened up @ romhacking.com. super mario star road, 74, last impact, 64 land are incredible fan-made games that are often greater than the original game anmd that is just scratching the surface of the thousands of rom hacks that exist for this game

    dont shit on sm64 you losers.

    don't use backloggd bc when i started collecting games, didn't know it existed, instead i use howlongtobeat.

    https://howlongtobeat.com/user?n=itsDohe&s=games&backlog=1

    anyways that's my current backlog, not many retro games there bc i mostly emulate them on my pc since i'm an idiot and spent too much on my ps5 and switch collection tho, but next system i'm gonna buy is probably a wii since it can play both gamecube and wii games. use dolphin for it currently, got a dolphin bar and all that stuff set up, works pretty well but i like using the og stuff as well
