Is anyone into retro gaming?

Does actively playing 20-year-old games count?

Played my first game around 1987 (on C64). I'm exclusively PC gamer, since 1992.

I miss the 90s dearly.

Yes... and not just game-wise.

I do more than just playing. I like to research and document "ancient" games (the ones just as old as ...our beloved Star Wars).

I hate Wikipedia (rules, community), it has next to none screenshots/credits/etc. Most system-specific websites offer large catalogs of forgotten titles, but usually deal with abandonware (ROMs) and you never know if they disappear someday.

That's why I turned to MobyGames. That database has over 67 000 game entries, even for old systems such as Sinclair QL, Sam Coupe or French Thomson (bet not many of you knew these?), all the way back to 1970s. I've submitted over a hundred of new titles and nearly 400 entries total (check out my Attack on the Death Star entry). I'm mostly after wargames or simulations (my first gaming love, now divorced), I was never into arcade stuff (no wonder, I never owned a console).

That website can be also useful for a collector - you can build your own "have" and "want" list.

I would be cool if some of you had joined us, if only to chat on the forum, registration is free after all. If would be even cooler if you'd contribute.
