Looking for people to follow in the #retrogaming community? Boost this toot and let's get the gang together.
@LordArse You can also use the @retrogaming Gup.pe group to find people into the scene!
@dheadshot @retrogaming Ah, that must be new!
@LordArse @retrogaming Gup.pe groups arrived in about 2019/20ish, IIRC? There's been a reset of the system since then (from gup.pe to a.gup.pe) but they're still here.
@LordArse I just got into it. Installed RetroArch and started playing Legend of Zelda, the Super Nintendo version. Had a lot of childhood memories with that game
@LordArse I think you might be interested in this @bpharoah ?
@BriteEyedViolet @LordArse Already a long time follower. Thank you!
@bpharoah @LordArse I should’ve guessed!
@LordArse hey, me too! πŸ˜…
@LordArse Swing on by for Apple II, early-Macintosh, and DOS PC content!
@LordArse Frogger rules! Are we going that far back?
@LordArse Nice idea. Also this reminds me to use the #retrogaming hashtag more often!
@LordArse I find it weird that the era of eg N64 or GameCube could be considered retrogaming. For me retrogaming is Spectrum, C64 that kind of era. Or classic arcade machines of early days like Asteroids, Defender etc @retrogaming
@LordArse Already found quite a few familiar faces! Here’s to finding loads more! πŸ™‚
@LordArse If folks looking through these replies are interested, they might also like to check out my #DailyRetroGame posts, which I kicked off yesterday.

@LordArse

I run a self-refurbished BBC Micro, Electron and ZX Spectrum+, plus DOSBox on a Mac for PC games. I’m interested in all aspects of retro computing, e.g. I volunteer on the Manchester SSEM/Baby replica at MSI!

@LordArse Would love to get some of the old gang back on here and get the conversations going again. #Retrogaming
@duhproject @LordArse Me too--we're doing better, though; it's starting to happen a little bit.
If there's any #retrogamers with a love of #MUDS or #MOOs I'd love to find them! Used to play both a #DiscWorld one and a #Midkemia one
@Qukatt Wow, the #Discworld MUD. That brings back memories! I used to play that, and another called Valhalla (I think it was hosted in Denmark).
@rand0mbl0ke vague and distant memories haha, it's the sort of thing I only half understood at the time and wish I could do again now that I have a spreadsheet obsession. 🀣
@Qukatt We do! And would also love to find others who love them! πŸ˜„β€‹
@mystavaria oh I'm just having a look at your profile and having some excitement for your game already. Glad to see there are still developments out there championing text gaming
@Qukatt Aw, thank you so much! β€‹ Thankfully there's quite a few #MUDs in development out there, just not a lot of people talking about them on social media - of course it's such a niche genre, so it's always been kinda hard to get discovered on places like the blue bird. We're happy to be connecting with other like-minds here on Mastodon now though! πŸ˜„β€‹
@mystavaria wonderful, I'll be keeping an eye out here then for anyone talking about them in the hashtags! So much easier without a robot pushing content at you
@Qukatt I'm a RetroGamer but not a PC gamer. My copies of discworld were on PS1!
@PixelBandits Ithink I had 1 on the macintosh, 2 might have been on pc and then noir on the PlayStation whichever one it was by then I forget πŸ˜† love a but of point and click. I'm excited to get round to playing Pentiment
@Qukatt I am in search of the PS1 copy of #1 but I still have II and Noir. They're the pride of my collection and I paid.... well... look I paid far far far too much for them and please don't tell my wife.
