Steemit Gaming Community... What are you playing for Retro games, and on what system? 🎮
Currently I play many of the older video game consoles from the NES up to the Playstation 2.
The older games to me have so much more replay-ability!
I love throwing in an older game and playing it even for just a few minutes. Yes, I am old school and use actual game carts!
Other times I like to challenge myself to play a game I know is pretty difficult just so see if I can still get pretty far in it!
Many of the games I'm playing lately I haven't played since I was a kid or a teenager, which makes playing them a great flashback to good memories of my childhood.
The arcade era and the early consoles were an amazing time to be a gamer that's for sure... What are your favorite games you like to play or are currently into?
Current Retro Games I've been playing:
Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 - Sega Dreamcast - LOVE THIS GAME, Great fighter
Time Crisis 2 - Playstation 2 - Yes, The Guncon 2's on a CRT TV!
Mike Tyson's Punch-Out! - NES - Just picked this up again recently... such a classic!
Bubble Bobble - NES - Classic 2 player game that is crazy difficult!
NBA JAM - Sega CD - The classic arcade basketball game is still really fun.
Toejam and Earl - Sega Genesis - A classic and fun game with infinite replay-ability.
So what about you Retro Gamers?
Have you played any of these games? I'm sure most of you have... but if you haven't, I would recommend any of them for you to try out.
What are you playing?
Any Suggestions?
I'd love to hear from any fellow retro gamers that are active on Steemit! If you know of any great Steemit blogs about retro gaming that you'd like to recommend, please post them below.

Retro gaming that I used to like to play was Super Contra in Super Nintendo :-)

I'm playing through Earthbound for now. And me and my friend have at least weekly Tetris attack battles still haha! Have you played binding of Isaac, it's got a retro feel. Or geometry wars?

I like to play old Atari classics like Tempest or Centipede.
The Ataru 5600 is probably my favorite retro console, but the SNES is also up there!
What do you guys use to play? The original console? An emulator on your PC? RetroPi?
I personally use RetroPie, I highly recommend it to anyone!

I am all original baby :-) I haven't gotten an Atari yet, thinking about it though!

I really recommend it! I'd go for a 5600, if you're serious about getting one.

Cool I will look into that. Slowly building a pretty cool game room, so I like having a variety of consoles. Something I have always wanted to do! Emulators are cool too... I wouldn't mind having an arcade machine with one. Thank you for reading and posting!

If you like to tinker, I'd also recommend RetroPie. It's basically a bunch of emulators in one, in a nice looking OS, all on a Raspberry Pi.

Last retro game I played was Krusty's Fun House for NES (Krusty the clown from the Simpsons). I moved and it was the only game I found to test out a "new" NES I got. My rabbit ate the cords to my old one so I had to replace it. I'm looking forward to playing a little Contra when I unpack it.

I recently hooked my SNES back to my tv to play some Mario Kart with my little son.
