I have some vacation time on Friday so I’ll take my PS4 to GameStop to trade in (since they sell sports cards now I’ll get some packs with store credit). Once I got a gaming laptop I was spending more and more time playing games on it to the point where I was only using my PS4 to watch streaming. Now that I have chrome cast I really don’t have a need for it anymore. I’m officially in the PC Master Race. I’ve always bought Sony since I was a senior in high school and my dad said if I got a PS1 he would buy my first game (terrible deal since he bought Riven).
My main reason for getting a gaming laptop was that I couldn’t get quest mods in PS4 Skyrim. Now, if I ever come across a PS2 I’d happily buy that again but I saw one at a game store with 5 games for 700. From now on it’s Steam for me. I think I may do a playthrough of old Sierra games as well
If you get a strong enough PC or laptop, you can emulate everything up to gen 7 with little effort and a lot of downloading.
I know emulation doesn't feel quite the same, but some of those older games are expensive as hell. And some arcade games can only be played this way now unless you live near Galloping Ghosts.
Not a bad idea. It would take me forever to get a PS2 and then get all the ps2 anc ps1 games I want. I’ll look into an emulator. Where is Galloping Ghosts?
For emulation I recommend using retroarch and vimm.net to download images.
Thanks!
Somewhat close to Chicago, about 20 minutes outside it, iirc. They're in a suburb. Brookfield Illinois I think.
I mention that place because they have almost everything. When I went they had just over 600. Their website mentioned they have 885 arcade games now. Including rare and hard to find ones.
They're all free to play, you just buy time to be there for a few hours or the whole day. It's worth going if you're in the area.
Wow! There are some classic arcades where I live that cater to 80s and 90s kids so they usually combine it with a bar and grill. They have a lot of games but nothing like that.
It's called a Barcade. There are two in Bremerton.
