My name is Cris. I'm from the south suburbs of Chicago. I'm in my mid 30's. I found my way here thanks to the CU Podcast. Been collecting retro games since my late teens. Excited to dig into an archive of some of my favorite gaming publications of the past. I'll have to dig through some boxes at my parents and see if I have anything to donate to the cause.

I... still have a floppy drive in my computer... am I really the only one? I mean, hey, it's the more modern 3.5" floppy, but still... ...nobody?

I can't think of a possible need for one. Well, except for this of course:

Floppy drives actually do work on Windows 7 (and Windows 8 I think?). You can buy a usb floppy drive on amazon.

There are a bunch of arcade beat em ups that I've wanted to play through for a long time. Cadillacs and Dinosaurs anyone?

I did... but now I tend to prefer buying games that didn't have save batteries. Replacing all of those dead batteries is a lot of work.

Every NES ROM in existence (thousands of them - NTSC, PAL, and JP) combined don't even fill half of a single CD-ROM.

I bought a whole bunch of Sonic 3 copies because the save chip kept failing. It's possible to replace the chip, but that requires soldering above my current skill level.

Cleaning out a closet I came across one of my old CD cases. So many demo discs from my PC Gamer sub back in the day. So weird to see demos that actually fit on a CD rom lol For some reason I also thought of a couple top down shooters I downloaded I think back in 2000-2001 that were so cool for that time. They used the modern tech then for a 3D look to game play. They were Star Monkey and Ultra Assault. Re-installed them and brought back memories playing them about 15 years later.

I recommend F-Zero GX for gamecube, F-Zero GP legend for gameboy advance, and F-Zero Climax, also for gameboy advance. F-Zero Climax is an import title, but the menus and narration are entirely in english; It's the only F-Zero game with a track editor!

I have Everdrive N8 (for Famicom) and the SD2SNES (also previously had the Super Everdrive and the Genesis Everdrive) Love the damn things, wouldn't give them up unless I was facing homelessness lol. Especially the SD2SNES, well worth the $230ish (was on sale) that I got it for on SAG... If anyone needs them, I'll PM a link to some very well put together Everdrive ROM sets...last thing you'll need to download!
