@dragonxwrites.bsky.social Does the misspelling trigger you? Haha..

"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..."

Abraxo?

Fixed the username. @tvgsamuel.bsky.social Thanks for letting me know.

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.

thevintagegamers.com has a new design! Let us know what you think!

Gotta love questionable retro game ads.

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.

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.

Dude those are Duplo blocks in the picture. Still TECHNICALLY Lego, but for small children.

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?
