Sharing the love for playing retro videogames.
What are your favorite PS2 titles? — While some may not consider it "retro" as such, as a younger millennial I spent most of my childhood gaming on a Sony PlayStation 2. I was especially fond of the Jak and Daxter and Splinter Cell series. Since re-acquiring a fat PS2 as an adult, I've been eager to check out some of the more obscure (in the US at least) titles out there. I've been working my way through King's Field IV and Nightmare of Druaga lately. I'd love to hear what other folks'...

Crusader of Centy (Sega Genesis) — Crusader of Centy just dropped for subscribers to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion membership! I've seen a few YouTube channels call this out as one of Genesis' best games, including the SNES Drunk channel. It's pretty clearly a Zelda clone, but with it's own twist with useful and unique animal companions. I had a ROM all ready to go, but personally I just don't like gaming on my laptop (and I haven't purchased one of those handheld emulator devices yet)...

What is considered retro? I feel like this might be a personal definition in some cases. I've got a 3ds that's been broken for ages, hoping to get it to a repair shop this week so I can finally play a bunch of my old 3ds games. To me this feels retro because the system is 12 years old already. At the same time it was jarring to go to the retro game shop a few weeks ago and see a bunch of wii u games and systems, even though that's 11 years old now.
