/vr/ - Retro Games

Fuck it, I'll take an opportunity to ramble about my childhood.

The GBA SP was actually the first console I ever owned, specifically the NES edition. I didn't know what the fuck a NES was at the time, I just knew it looked cool. I still have memories of my dad taking me to Circuit City to get me that and a game (which would be Kirby's Nightmare in Dreamland). Of course it wasn't the first time I ever played video games, but when I was super young I mainly just played N64 at my friends house, who I was with often, so I never really needed my own system. Was addicted to the thing, to the point that when I got a gamecube the following year for christmas with a gameboy player attachment, I used it for gba games more than GC.

Nowadays I'm not super into hardware, mainly using one of those pocket emulators to do all my retro games like pic related. It's hard to really justify the cost and inconvenience of these things in 2024 now that the emulation is pretty much perfect, but I still get super nostalgic thinking about playing Pokemon Red on my dinky crt in my childhood bedroom.

For what I'm playing right now tho, starting another Mother 3 playthrough.
