  • Dreamcast Dreamtopia
    Sega's final console before they decided to move their focus to making dumb friends for Sonic. With a small but great library of games, it got all the ladies.

  • Famicom Dojo
    The Family Computer or Famicom was released in 1983 and arguably had the largest impact on video game culture than any system before or after it. Discuss the Famicom, Famicom Disk System and its classic games here.

  • Megadrive Mania
    The Mega Drive was the home system that put SEGA on the map. A stylish and powerful rival to the Super Famicom.

  • Neo Geo Sphere
    Was it 16-bit or 24-bit? Either way everyone can agree that SNK's super-buffed legend was 2 things. Expensive and Awesome. Talk about it's great games and their effects on your bank account here.

  • PC-FX Paradise
    The PC-FX was NEC's last console, released later than it should have been due to strong PC-Engine sales continuing well into the 90's. One of the last bastions of 2D in a 3D dominated console war, the PC-FX featured some of the most "Japanese" games ever produced. Due to poor sales, the PC-FX features a lineup of nearly 95% great games as every lackluster title was simply shelved. If you like anime and the 90's, this is the console for you! The FX stands for "Future Unknown."

    Bandai built this system on a backbone of FMV Anime games. This system is considered a must own for serious Dragonball Z and Sailormoon fans.

  • Super Famicom Dojo
    The Super Famicom was a bit late to the 16-bit race but it came with polish and class that eventually made it the best selling 16-bit system of all time. Come here to talk about the SuFami and Satellaview systems and games.

  • Wonderswan Wonderland
    Bandai's Wonderswan was one of the few serious handheld rivals the Gameboy had. Its crisp graphics, low cost and Squaresoft support kept it popular and relevant in the portable gaming market.

    This area is not for any specific console or game but rather the culture of video games themselves. Here you can post about the industry, talk about game music, show off your pixel art, really anything that is not related to any single system.
