was Exidy's 1981 Venture really "too complex"? Decided to research Venture by Exidy for a video I'm doing and I noticed on the Wikipedia page it says the arcade game was too complex and that made it "out of place" in the arcade. Was that true? I remember seeing Venture in lots of arcades and I...

I have a favor to ask, does anyone have a picture of an arcade machine with its coin door open and the box inside heaped with quarters? It's for a thumbnail for a video I'm doing. I searched Google images and was surprised how difficult it is to locate such a picture.

Hi there, I tried Googling this but figured I'd ask you experts. At the NW Pinball expo I got to play Dredd pinball and my previous experience is only on Pinball Arcade. On the hardware at the show, the left Missile Launch automatically fired whereas in Pinball Arcade I have to hit the flipper...

Anyone do the capacitor replacement fix on Sega Game Gears? My Game Gear has both the weird screen issue where I need to tilt it low to see it and my sound is extremely low. If I hold the GG up to my ear I can hear the sound playing (headphones work just fine). Otherwise it works. I don't need...

A friend of mine and I are arguing about how console makers are reducing costs by removing features and it caused me to wonder: did the Atari 2600 Jr come with paddles when it originally shipped?

I just got the Dredd pinball pack for Pinball Arcade and I have a question about the actual real hardware. In PA the left kickback seems to catapult the ball up to the right where the sniper area is super easy but my guess is that performance probably was one of the first things to break down...

I don't normally care about alternate costumes but Capcom has revealed that Chun-li will have an option to fight in her Interpol uniform and I confess they got me. I "need" that in my life. So now I'm trying to figure out if these costumes are DLC we can buy later or are they only a pre-order...

I might pick up a Sega Game Gear but I think I've heard the sound sometimes goes on them after all these years, is that right? I know the screen isn't all that nice, that's no problem, I'm just wondering about the hardware in general. Anything I should watch out for when shopping for one? Also...

I heard about Pac Manic Miner on the recent Retro Gaming Roundup podcast and I'm intrigued. This was getting the ZX Spectrum game to run on Pac-Man hardware. Would it work on a MAME machine? I assume so. Anyone know any details about this project?

I loved Gravitar when it was new in the arcades, an excellent combination of Lunar Lander and Asteroids with gorgeous vector visuals. But I keep seeing a lot of hate when people talk about it these days. Any ideas why? Is it too hard? Is it a quarter-muncher? What gives?

I'm sure this has been asked before but I couldn't find a previous forum thread about it. I just got myself a GameBoy Advance SP …. was previously rocking a Micro that couldn’t play original GameBoy or GB Color cartridges. I’m now digging through the back catalog of those previous original GB...

This is an odd question but can any one tell me of any arcade games either with a 4 in the title (Mortal Kombat 4? Was that in arcades?) or games that had a fourth iteration like either Pac-man Jr / Super Pac-man ... Whichever of those were the fourth in the series of Pac-man games I did try to...

I was listening to Coast 2 Coast Pinball podcast (highly recommended) and Nate was discussing the upcoming Alien pinball machine. Apparently the manufacturers want to embrace the horror and fear of the Alien franchise as opposed to being silly or funny. Nate then mentioned there are hardly any...

So I bought Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 for my PS TV last week and it was a pre-owned cartridge. As soon as I inserted it, I was warned that I would not gain any trophies unless I delete the saved data off the cart. Totally no problem because I want to earn the trophies for myself so I clicked...

I got myself a PS TV and downloaded Pinball Arcade on it. Very happy with it and intending to download lots of tables. The snag is now that I have the game on the internal memory and a handful of DLC I am running out of space. No problem, I'll fork over the rediculous cost for a Vita memory card...

With Halloween coming I think I might dabble in Resident Evil Remake (either the PS4 one or the GameCube version if I can find it locally). I just found out it is possible to play the game as Jill Valentine in her blue outfit from Nemesis but according to the site below you have to beat the game...

I've been enjoying the Virtua Racing titles a lot lately and there's one element I've never understood. Why does the F1 car occasionally make a spluttering noise and kick out smoke? Is that an indication you're pushing the engine too hard? Does this coughing engine characteristic also occur in...

I'm trying to ascertain how much power was in the Virtual Boy, like which console was it close to. This thread has some good info: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/918745-virtualboy/68833185 Not only does it give the MHz and specs but it also mentions "So apparently, the VB could not handle a...

Hi there, I got an LCD game which is pretty cool (see video below) but I’m confused about turning it off. It doesn’t. The instructions say not to worry about it, just leave it in demo mode, it’s supposed to remain “on” all the time. I totally get that, it’s a lot like my wife’s eReader where...

I've researched this subject and have most of what I need but just couldn't figure out a few points so I thought I'd ask. If I want to share a video of gameplay off my PS4 I know how to do it and apparently I can link my YouTube channel so the footage appears on my channel. No problems there...
