i have found other threads about old games in this subforum like battle city and the one for fire emblem (even if the series keeps going)

currently i'm having fun playing the various hidden gems for the game boy advance (or even the gbc) like

bit generation series
shantae (gbc)
rhythm tengoku
medabots (it doesn't have a wikipedia page lmao, is pretty much a pokemon game with robots and without the metroidvania sensation)

 they are overall cheap, easy to emulate on any device (obviously only if u have the physical cartridges, wink wink) and 100% still funny

other etg players having fun with old games?

I've got an original NES that I enjoy the games for, but the hardware is really bad after all these years; it's really hard to find a system that will play the games flawlessly, so there's a lot of frustration trying to get the cartridges seated just right for them to actually play properly.  I grew up playing stuff like Nintendo and Sega and old computer games, and I almost don't even think of them as retro because I remember them when they were new :p

DS is considered retro now? I just got 1% cooler 8-)
I still play gen4+ Pokemon and a lot of Fire Emblem, got a stack of ~30 other DS games lying around.
Also a huge fan of the pinball game from windows XP
Spoiler for highscore:

How long until elements is retro I wonder?

talking about the normal nintendo ds (not the 3d one) it can be considered retro, the 3ds come out in 2011 (no idea if we had the same release date in europe/usa), the life cycle ended 7 years ago

I've got a somewhat functional DS lite which is basically the original (had a GBA slot too) and also a new 3ds xl, which is definitely not retro but still works with the old games.
