"Pocket Monster kills Final Fantasy VII" A little news piece about original Game Boy Pokemon outselling Final Fantasy VII in Japan and that it's pretty cool stuff.

This is one of the reasons I love collecting and digging into old gaming mags. You'll crack open an issue of CV&G from October 1997 and across something like this.

"Oh hey, there's this thing called *checks notes* Pockemon hit the Game Boy in Japan and it's causing a bit of a stir..."

Well when I made the new theme for the vintage gamers website. I forgot to move a file that shows Blue sky that we own the domain. I got to fix that tonight.

Homework First, Video Game Lock For Nintendo

What would you have done if you came home to this the first time? I know I would have grabbed my games and gone over to a friends house.

Forza 5 car with The Vintage Gamers branding.

Forza 5 car with The Vintage Gamers branding.

Is it weird that I themed my Forza 5 car with my website address? I did it because my driving and custom car would be use in other peoples races. (If I understood that correctly) Talk about guerrilla advertising. :D

It's the late 1990s, you get paid from your summer job and have $300. What do you buy? Would you get both consoles? Get 1 console and some games?

The consoles I owned growing up, according to mom.

My mom knew the names of all my consoles because I was lucky, she played games from time to time as well. That said, most of my friends had moms like this. Was your mom like this?

In the 90s I would buy all my games used since I had to use my own money for them. In the mid 90s, I did also have a summer job which helped. I didn't buy new games until the early 2000s when I was an adult and could afford them. Then it was still 3-4 a year.

We at TVG love retro games, but we still play modern games. That said, who's getting a Switch 2? I will be even if the sticker shock is real. $450?!?!? It's the most expensive Nintendo console I've considered buying.

I know Thevintagegamers.com is about retro games. Should I do a review of Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake? I would have to do a comparison with the original game and the remakes that have been done. What do you guys think?

I was very small on Twitter. I didn't experience the negativity that other people have said. That said the Twitter experience has gone way down the toilet, that's why I jumped ship. Besides the engagement over here is already 10 times what I've had on Twitter in the last 5 years on my first post.

Now that I no longer have my work stuff all over my desk because I was working from home. Maybe now I'll stream on Twitch again for the first time in a very long time. I'll have to clean my bedroom and reconnect my old gaming PC. My new gaming PC had died. After 2 months, bad power supply.

I knew that, but I also know you have a very soft spot for Dragon Age......

Yeah, you better get on that racing simulator you've had sitting there for the longest time.

It's amazing. I created this account because of the exodus of people from Twitter/X and without posts, have some followers. @barnaculesnerdgasm.com is right. It has better engagement. So people, what's your favorite video game?
