Retrogaming Roundtable

Here's the place to go to talk about all things "classic." Today, classic means "before PlayStation 2." Finally a place to discuss RCA Studio II and Fairchild Channel F! Or any of those other systems by Atari, Nintendo, Sega, etc.

From PlayStation 2 to present! Discuss the latest classics, the hottest new gaming technology, the latest direction of your favorite developer, or your thoughts on the latest adventure titles! As we always say: it doesn't have to be OLD to be CLASSIC.

Yep, the forum title has been lifted from some corner of our youth, but it really does capture the essence: it's about arcade gaming, something that is unfortunately more a part of our past than our present. Arcade Alley is all about the coin-op scene: collecting arcade cabinets, repairing/restoring arcade cabs, emulating arcade games (ex: MAME), tech info and links to arcade game stuff. Bring a roll of quarters!

A sub-forum about computer gaming. Did you get your game on from behind a keyboard? Do you think outside the DOSBox? Let's get this QWERTY party started! For computer-based discussions about everything.

The home for "game videos" of all types. Show off your finds, display your long plays, give a tour of your Room of Doom, post commentary vids, show your trips to arcades and expos - it all belongs here! (One thread per user.)

The place to read news about the Digital Press Web sites.

The spot to discuss videogame news and the most recent developments for consoles old and new. It doesn't matter if it is a new commercial game for Atari 5200 or a modern developer starting up business, this is the place to have your say about it.

Original magazine-style articles about classic gaming, collecting, and retro goodness.

You can sell or trade anything game related here: classic, modern, arcade, memorabilia and more.

Got a hot tip on a super sale? Are you the king of cost cutting? Share your sale information here!

The name says it all... got stuff on eBay you want to point us to? Or maybe you've stumbled into a great... or INSANE auction? Show the auction addicts the best and worst of your favorite auction site.

So, you just scored a unique gaming item. Now you need to reveal your super find to the world! Wondering what it's worth? You found the right place, in this very forum.

We may be affiliated with Classic Gaming Expo, but EVERY gaming event is important to us. Digital Press has attended or sponsored many events over the years, it's high time we provide a place to post announcements where gamers are getting together. This is also the place to post location information ("area x roll call") which may help to assemble future events! Game ON, all.

The next Classic Gaming Expo will be held in the summer of 2012 somewhere in Las Vegas! Post your plans here or work out a "buddy system" for ride-sharing, finding roommates, and sharing information on events in and around the Vegas strip that weekend!

Talk about comics. Talk about comic books. Just don't talk about things that aren't related or you will get a POW BIFF CRAK ZING!!!

We're always updating our database for our books and online lists! If you spot things that need to be changed (in the books OR our online guides) or have suggestions for future releases, post them here! We'll also take any questions or corrections to our database in general in this forum.

Now, you too can be the master of unlocking... region codes! Importing is a big part of modern game collecting, and it's time to find out, what, where, how, and why to import. Plus, those funny squiggles on the Japanese games are really another language! Really! But if you have to, just make up the words and post em here!

Got a broken console? Can't get the stickers off of a cartridge? Want to know how to get your Atari system to use A/V outputs? Let's discuss the repair and maintenance of video game systems, controllers, cartridges, and peripherals.

Moved here for posterity are the best and busiest posts ever! Feel free to add your two cents.

Here we go again! With each incarnation of the DP Collector's Guide we select a dozen or so tales of gaming lore from our community. Here's your chance - details inside.
