Support NeoGAF

[retroman]

Hi everyone, this will be my final day on GAF (my reasons for leaving are stated here), but before I go I'd like to know which websites about retrogaming you guys would recommend? I'm mainly interested in arcade games, but 8-bit/16-bit consoles (especially Sega consoles) and home computers are also fine.

Also, while I haven't created many threads around here, here's one I'm particularly fond of: Screenshots and gifs of great unported 80s/90s arcade games. If you're as obsessed with arcade games as I am, you might have fun browsing through it.

Thanks in advance and take care!

Is Digital Press still a thing? Liked that place in the early 2000s.

Racketboy is a pretty good forum for Retro game talk. Also Atariage too.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Why would you want to talk about that old shit?

 

[Dj Convoy]

Hardcore Gaming 101. SEGA 16. AtariAge.

With comments like this, I'm glad this place has gone to shit.

Even with all those external resources, I always found gaf had the most passionate and knowledgeable retro fans (outside of pedantic Nintendo weirdos).

Hopefully, after the dust settles, they’ll still be around.

 

[Why would you do that?]

Not EXACTLY the same, but I love NESDev forums. They're very small, but very smart and focused. I love their "off topic" section.

He's trolling lol. He was a part of RetroGAF.

But to be honest, with the way things are now, I wasn't sure, either...

Hard to tell these days.

A simple Google search would get you to your result quicker than another thread full of auto-fellaciotic bullshit.

I'm glad you're still here, please don't leave. I know, you don't know me, but I'm randomly checking out your profile for new posts and I would definitely miss you.

Sincerely, a lone lurker. ;_;

You'll be missed retrogaf.

Gaf attracts the super hardcore and dedicated gaming fans over the years only to lose the bulk of them in a span of 3 days. Just look at the OT.

Rip.

It's the folks.

Hence one last hurray at bringing attention to what they love because they won't be back.

I'm a goddamned pariah from the sound of it.

You're right, google searches are definitely more reliable than having to attempt to converse with the dregs of neogaf.

Edit: it's very indicative when some of the best neogaf posters post farewells or even frustrations and juniors who aren't aware of even the basic things that neogaf are known for come out of the woodwork to tell them they're worthless. Lol. Good luck.

Edit again: oh it's a joke lol. Well still have seen plenty that werent

Nah. A bunch of the RetroGAF people moved to discord for the time being. Dunno what to do, but I'm enjoying watching the fallout, if nothing else.

Which one? Pm me please.

 

[petran79]

Prior to GAF I browsed Atariage forums.

English Amiga Board is another good forum. What I like there is that most users are from Europe and around my age and older.


I too am seriously considering whetherto stay. Site is now in a transitional phase. Have to see how things turn out.

That makes 2 of us.

I'm missing folks cheering at their departure. That will complete the circle.

That place ruined itself when they segregated computer gaming to its own area. They actually would give you shit if you posted about computer games in the main gaming section, as if only console, arcade, and portable games count as video games.

 

[nintendork666]

You're looking for Racketboy, Op. That's where I posted b4 becoming a gaffer

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

The Shmups forum has a healthy old-games community in its off-topic forum. I've read lots of cool posts there, especially about (obviously) arcade shooters and PC Engine games.

 

[CrazedProfessional]

Retrogaf is creating their own forum according to their twitter account.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

RetroGAF has a twitter? I honestly - and I'm really not joking - had no idea.

RetroGAF was the best GAF.

Well, at least I could convince a few guys to buy a WonderSwan.

4chan's /vr/ is a relatively good board that manages to not be totally shit like the normal 4chan videogame board.
