probably not tbh.
I dont imagine it would be all that popular and theres already several places you can post that stuff in(other games, nintendo, etc)

i like this idea! :)

say for example 2 friends were racing each other to beat Mario Bros 3! :)

let's say me vs. Steve! B)

Steve and i could post time stamped screen shots of where were are in the game to see who wins! :D

also there could be help and advice threads to get through classic games here in jsp so we wouldn't need to leave jsp to google it! :thumbsup:

it's a win/win for the users and it would help jsp be more active! B)

I'm down for some Mario races

Why specifically a retro section over "other games" ?

Just curious

To better cover the spectrum of retro gaming because to a lot of retro gamers there's more too it then just playing the games lots of us are collectors or glitch hunters etc etc would also allow for a broader spectrum of games unlike the Nintendo sub forum

Anything that you can't buy new copy's of any more imo so Xbox original PS2 gamecube and older imo

Who said I wasn't going to?

none of those are retro

I wouldn't even consider ps1/Dreamcast/n64 retro

anything behind the most recent 2 generations is retro for someone, so rather than make it subjective allow for a standard.

I still think one of the best parts of a forum like this would be the constant nerd bickering over whether or not something counted as retro. For real, it'd be amazing.
