The PROBLEM With Retro Gaming In 2023

I have a second channel where a friend and I play retro. We try to play on original hardware but my NES acts up like most do. I instead use a Genex system to record NES. The point is, it works and we're having fun. @TGVGames1

We’re buying clone consoles cuz we spend money on our kids, ain’t Monday got money for all that.

I support retor gaming

I playing Sonic maga collection on PS2 that not from original hardware I play on PS2 it about the game not gate keeper😂🎉

Game on if I cud go back in time with a emulator omg id be so happy TV boy was close as I got young till I figured it out on old pc around psx times but I cud play USA b4 UK n copy if I wanted but to get say meyoo mini plus's when I was 12 I need time machine just for that

100% play any game on anything/anyway you can. as long as you can play what you want. if anyone has the problem wiith that well then YOU are the problem and not the true gamers who just enjoy games anyway they can play them.

I gave up on retro games and collecting
Most are remade now ported over better graphics and controls
I respect the classics
But it was too much for me

We should support this game way that console play on it doesn't matter what console you play on it about the game

these Morons will go berserk if they see someone playing on PC with emulator which is The Best way to play these old games

The Problem is that Retro games are 10000 times better then anything new and companies want to cut off access to old games so they can Force ppl into constantly buying new garbage and unfortunately USA is helping companies do exactly that

Halfway through the video and only now is the guy actually explaining what he thinks the problem is

Imagine someone posting a video of their child listening to Led Zeppelin on Spotify and then bunch of old farts complaining that he is not listening to the original 1969 vinyl pressing

I'm with you, RGT. The entitlement of geek culture can be mind- numbing. Always yucking someone's yum!

Seeing creators show off their multi console setups of a modern flat screen which is not a problem till I see there's no 480p or better from retro consoles that can support it, no RGBS or HV, no YPbPr, just raw dogging Composite video with no gaming focused scaler so input lag is a factor & 220p is going to be handled wrong.

Then i catch myself these folks don't seem to care about that in their setups, so neither should I. Live & let live.

When I was a kid my Dad showd me the Sega Genesis wen I was 5 or so and that got me in to retro gaming and thank my father for that and I can agree

couldn't say it better myself its about the experience now yes having the og classic is great but its about reliving that experience. off topic here but the comments on new games is ridiculous like exp. the graphics are not good enough the grass is not detailed enough this is why classic style games are doomed everything is all about graphics ,you want games to be realistic and will take longer to make these games and we might not get games we wantbecause it takes to long to make and theres to many projects.

I play with a super retro trio, a genesis mini, and a pc engine mini. And everything is neatly stored.

Completly agree!! 👍🏼👍🏼

I'm just getting back into Retro gaming and I found Blitz vic-20 ( emulation) and i played it with my 3 year old son. We both loved it and it is still a great game!

16:Nein

I can't afford any vintage stuff, I enjoy retro games... Bought an Anbernic handheld at a pawnshop. $40. Problem solved. Save states, fast forward...

People seem to act as though emulators are 2nd prints of comic books

No i don't believe games hold their value, nostalgia wears out. My dad loves his atari 2600, but i couldn't care less. I love my tower of power, but my kids aren't interested. If you want to invest and have shelf filling Lego is a better bet. Anyway my collection was always meant to bring ambience to the game room and that it does.

I saw Supaplex sold for 400$, Johnny Castaway screensaver in big box for 350$, Kings Quest 2 sealed for 275$ and i do not even dare to mention Wolfenstein 3D prices and the list can continue indefinitely. I wonder if 30 years from now when most of the nostalgia will long be gone because let's face it, the people that are now power collectors will be...old, what will happen with the prices. Will an Adlib Gold sell for 30k USD or more? or everything will be forgotten and obsolete?

The problem is that you’re talking about collecting not playing. Retro gamers use flash and they play the games they don’t just collect them and put them on a shelf

You killed me 😂 with those dork gate keepers😂😂!!!

I’m going to be real I would never pay that price just to have original hardware like I think clone consoles are the perfect solution to the retro game aftermarket it’s a clone and it’s so much cheaper

Grading is nonsense. Are people still buying into this?

I probably have all or most of the consoles these ridiculous people want because I bought them at the time and didn't throw them away.
Right now me and my wife are playing our ATARI 2600 games on an ATARI 2600+ on our huge flat screen Livingroom TV, and it plays fine. And yes I have the origonal system, and pretty much everything else as well along with the CRT TVs and monitors. You don't need the actual old hardware. If you have it, fine. If you don't, fine.

I agree the thing is all about playing and enjoying the games, not what you play them on. That type of elitist thinking is utter nonsense.

The only thing I have to play with it's origonal CRT monitor is my Vectrex, because new vector monitors don't exist!.

BRO THIS VIDEO RAW. BUT THAT LAST PART 🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑🔥💯✊iv BEEN SAYING THIS.

Thanks for the video. I think using an emulator is fine and very convenient.

For me this gaming hobby is all about nostalgia from my childhood in the 90s-2000👌 i play them on every type of way cus i dont have all the games original. So i use retropie,mini snes. But also have console and crt with my favorite ones. Its to expensive to buy conkers bad fur day on N64 so i just bought a xbox one with Rare replay. Its no rules in this gaming world. I totally agree with you man! I will subscribe and watch more of your videos. Peace ✌️

The whole first half of this video is filler trash. Great video!

Bro Yes!!!!!
"( I Know I'm a year late but ")
That's What I'm F***ing talking about 🤘🏻

Hes right

European nicotine pouches are the solution if you've quit cigarettes. They are way better than the US counterparts. They're a lot more potent. They have better flavors. Not sure what else to say about that. I've tried quitting using nicotine that I can go without it for weeks but I really prefer not to. If you are serious about quitting smoking it's certainly can be done. I quit using nicotine and smoking cigars for a couple years. However, I'm honest with myself and admit that I like to have it. Good luck if you continue to not smoke cigarettes they're incredibly expensive anyhow. No wonder you have half a million subscribers. Including me.

That is the problem! You are right. Also, old video game consoles are great. But, they run at 12 volts. Most of the clone systems or emulated raspberry pi and such. Five volts I mean I guess if you're rich and have the money to pay the higher electric bill that's great. But you are right it's about the media. What people created for us to hopefully enjoy it I'm too lazy to whine about what way people get there games. They just should enjoy them and stop making a fuss about how someone doesn't do what they do the way they think you should do it. Luckily I'm too lazy to make judgments on such things. But I'm already grateful that I subscribe to your channel. Thank you.

I never grew up with the golden era like the wii that i received late of his lifespam that i cannot play anymore without the fear of it breaking it with no replacement or buying another one that are siscontinued for outrageous price in the aftermarket same with the games and not to mention the disc rot.

Stupid opinions. It’s the games not what you are playing them on that matters. There are a lot of opinions like this from stupid gamers. I honestly can’t tell the difference between 60 fps and 120 fps. Maybe if I was actively trying REALLY REALLY hard. Sometimes lag is actually caused by other things. People who make a big stink about not getting 120 fps are the same type of people. It makes no difference. I suppose getting REALLY highly fps could be a sign of future-proofing the computer for bigger games, but that is the only reason I’d see getting 60+ fps as great.

I’ll buy your N64 games haha

Anbernic sells consoles for 50+bucks canadian. They have decades of preinstalled retro games that play flawlessly. Been a gamer since 86. I know what im collecting

Pricing is also a problem people are too loose with the term "RETRO". There is no reason a used psp should be close to $200 claiming it is "retro". Any console after 1999 is not retro. I swear some think ps3 is retro. The Retro gaming community is no different than pokemon scalpers.

This problem is not limited to video games, and extends all the way back to any kind of discipline, hobby, sport, or pastime. Closed-minded old dorks who think there's "only one right way" to do something.

There is a right way to wire an electrical circuit so that the user does not fry themselves dead, sure, I get that. But when it comes to the arts, entertainment, film, poetry, literature, stories, sports, dance, television shows, music, and yes, video gaming, ...like, wow. It's not an electrical circuit or a fire supression system or anything that's gonna hurt anyone if done "wrong."

The real issue at stake, I think, is these Gatekeeping Dorks' capital P Pride. Their egos are all involved in it, likely because they feel inferior or inadequate in other areas of life, and this is "their thing" that makes them feel Proud of themselves, and confident.

This is why I don't go in for cliques, or subsets of cultures, or scenes, or fandoms, in general. I know who I am. I don't need anyone to explain it to me. I wish I knew a good way to share this idea with others, but communication isn't one of my strongest talents.

But really, just know who you are, know what you like, and stop trying to hang your identity on "this one thing" that is "yours." You're causing injury, trauma and issues for other actual human beings, like you. And you're irritating RGT 85, and me.

Any recommendation for a quality clone console, like a stick I can plug into my TV… serious question

Kids and emulators is a GOOD combination. Kids are perfect in scratching up CDs.

"Just a slap cause they not worth a punch" probably one of the most badass things I ever heard XD
And yeah, totally agree. These morons are like the shareholders and ceo's who ruin the AAA industry because of some unreasonable made up goals and standards without any actual passion for the medium. You know, one of the main reasons people want to get into retro gaming.

I just grew up with nes, snes, 64, sega and playstaion and was recently looking to buy some random sega and snes games and a 64 system for nastalgia sake. I was surprised at the varrying high and low prices of everything.
Then yesterday I saw your video for the kinhank x2. Maybe ill get that?
Ive collected vinyl lp's and vhs tapes for most of my life. The same thing is going on with grading sealed vhs. Who wants or buys them????
At least theyre not grading vinyl yet... that i know of😮

What is this video who did this to a family member of yours 😂
