I actually discovered Panzer Dragoon way back in 2002 or 2003 with Panzer Dragoon Orta, and that began the journey of discovery for me. I was already familiar with the NES, SNES, and PS1, and so on (I turn 31 this year), but the Saturn always eluded me.

27:18 - “They’re loud, noisy, and have this weird squeaking sound.” We’re all getting older in ways that aren’t so obvious. CRTs emit a high frequency sound in the 15700Hz range. I can no longer hear frequencies above 15000Hz, but it must be very noticeable to this kid. I suppose that’s alright though. While most classic consoles will survive for a very long time, these CRT displays will age and die alongside us. Retro gaming is for everyone, but CRTs belong to our generation.

The realisation that having studied computing I now had the tools to understand what was going on under the hood of my old consoles and even make something that could go beyond what the original hardware achieved. There's so much information available these days as long as you have the right foundations from which to interpret it.

I even messed around with older stuff like the VCS, Vectrex, NES, and Master System. It's cool to see how these game continue to have a lasting appeal!

I'm 19. Growing up we had an NES, GameCube, N64, and PS2 plugged in at all times. We also had a Genesis and Atari 2600, along with some others, but never really played them. My dad has tons of old tech, and I'm really glad he shared them with me. I've been gaming for as long as a remember. I didn't get a PS3 or play anything multiplayer until 2010, and even then I had and still have great memories of the classic consoles. I remember the TV I used to play my N64 on, plugging the composite cables into the switcher we had whenever I wanted to play. In 2014 I got introduced to Mario 64 speedrunning, a game I played hundreds of hours of as a kid. I've followed the scene since, but got into it myself in early to mid 2019. I started on emulator, slowly moved to actual hardware, and went through the pain of getting an HDMI signal for cheap. I've always had an eye for quality, always tinkering with settings and configs to get the most balanced experience, so when I did more research on better video options I found this channel. I'm currently waiting on my TW's RGB kit to arrive and I couldn't be more excited. Maybe someday I'll give deeper into this niche enough to contribute, but for now I sit back and enjoy all the work everyone has done and admire it. Thank you for the quality videos, and for sharing a passion with me.

I'm 21 so a lot of retro gaming passed me by. My dad had a SNES with donkey Kong country and Super Mario world, and that was most of my exposure to retro gamin and I remember really enjoying them as a kid, and id always go back to them from time to time. I really started getting into gaming in general around the GameCube era, and I've been a pretty avid gamer ever since (mostly sticking to RPGs and fighting games). Sometime last year tho I remembered my time with the SNES, and I just felt the desire to play more games and on more consoles. So I got a summer job, bought a bunch of consoles plugged em into my flatscreen and saw how horrible it looked, so I did some research, and found out about PVMs. So I found one at a local recycling plant (pvm 1954q) and then ever since got really into retro games because it was something I never really experienced before. My library is still small but it's growing. The best part about this whole experience tho is that it's really changed my game design philosophy. Im studying to be a game designer, and going back and playing these games showed me how honest they were and I wanted that in my future work. So for me it was never nostalgia. It was about experiencing all of gaming both past and present, and it had the positive effect of shaping my game design philosophy.

One batch only going to be made, all sold out within 45mins, lots including me didn't even have a chance to wake up, Analogue charges a sweet premium for their consoles promising backwards compatibility then doesn't deliver and moves on to the next project with no intentions of finishing the last project people paid for 100% then gaming channels do nothing but hype them up with everyone and the cycle continues. PEOPLE BUYING THE ANALOGUE POCKET BE WARNED THAT THOSE ADAPTORS YOU WERE PROMISED, YOU WON'T GET THEM.

Not to mention the shipping is not far off from the premium price of the console itself. I've ordered things overseas from Japan and Europe before with FREE SHIPPING. Let that sink in. I'm sure that shipping $$ partially goes into Analogue's bank account which is another crime that needs to be addressed in itself..

It's staggering that something this high quality is on KZfaq. I would also add that I appreciate you using such a huge variety of games in your gameplay footage and shots of cartridges. Love seeing Lufia and Harvest Moon for SNES. Makes the video much more interesting.

Emulation is the most important part of vintage/retro video game preservation imo outside of physical preservation. Allowing people to play these unimpeded who might not have access to it keeps the history alive and breathing even after decades gone by

So glad to see a large audience channel talking about classic gaming with the consideration it deserves (without the limited nostalgia focus). I love retrogaming for the timeless qualities of the games. Nostalgia is subjective, and excluding for younger audiance + those who have not known the titles. I think that classic gaming would benefit from a larger range of consideration. Thank you My Life in Gaming !

Once you have kids, gaming takes on a whole new meaning. Playing through Mario RPG again with my 5 year old son is a precious experience that I'll cherish forever. I'm creating new memories and new nostalgia, layered on top of my nostalgia I already have from playing the game when I was a kid. Its pretty awesome

This kind of content inspires me. With so much random tech and so many games I've gotten from my parents, family members, friends and purchased myself, I've sometimes wondered if it was justifiable that so much money could be wasted on stuff that I might never use like my wii rockband stuff or maybe not touch again after beating them. This reminds me that this hobby fulfills me as a person who loves nostalgia, game preservation/history and amazing new discoveries always coming up. Modern gaming honestly makes me sad because despite so much money being poured in, the industry itself has lost the heart it used to have when people were still figuring out how everything worked. It's a comfort in my life to speedrun the games I played as a child and games are what makes me happy, even if they're just in a box or on my shelf. It's a piece of my own history I get to carry with me. So thank you.

I never comment, but man I have to now. The detail in this video/their videos not one youtuber goes this deep into the questions most of gamers are thinking. You can just see the passion in the content. Growing up with most of these games myself and now a collector it's great to get all this information on how I can get the best out of my games and systems. Would also like to say to the people keeping the retro gaming alive for future generations, you're doing more than most of these larger gaming companies Microsoft, sony, and even Nintendo. Keep up the great work and I shut up and give you my money while these great products come out from real true gaming fans that just get it and are not about just making a quick buck.

Great video! It gives me a sense of pride in the 8 years I spent modding game consoles and making emulation easy and accessible to many many people. It's been 9 years since I retired my tiny mod shop and the emulation bug never really left me. Specially with retropie and classic systems blowing up. The controller and adapter scene is like heaven these days too!

one of the best videos of one of the best youtube channels. Every gamer should watch this. I personally already had my nostalgia fix. Ive already played all the games of my childhood. But I still choose to play vintage games. They are straight to the point. They are true works of art. They are worth it.

I feel like I’ve just watched yet another series off of a premium paid network; this is absolutely astounding work. Know this channel already gets massive respect within retro gaming KZfaqr circles and has a strongly dedicated viewership, but really feel like this channel is going to EXPLODE within the general public soon. This is not only a good retro gaming documentary; the production quality in writing and shots make this (and the other videos on this channel) a great documentary in and of itself, which will entice anyone into this subject. Will be gladly sticking around to witness when it happens :)

It's been many years ago now, but the RetroRGB website helped me in ways I can't even describe. That is literally where I got my start in learning about RGB and is quite literally what re-ignited my passion for Retro gaming. Now I have literally all of my Retro consoles outputting RGB in some way or another, including my portable systems. All of the hardware mods that I love, aka the ones ignored by the mainstream media, are the ones that Bob covers on his weekly roundup video's.

I hear you "middle man"! There is SO much information out there, the hard part is collecting, verifying and analysing it. Before I buy expensive items, I create a spreadsheet and compare models and specs from reviews. I feel like the internet should do this for us but it usually just creates analysis paralysis unless you sit down and crunch the numbers...

Oh wow. I just wanted to say, this was truly a great watch. I think there's so many of us out there who kept our old gear (which for me was both my Atari 2600 & Commodore 64), digging it out - but also just expanding upon stuff we experienced, or heard about or more. There's so many factors as to what makes these games enjoyable. Thank the makers of all the upscaling, flash kit and more for all of us who can run real hardware too. Genuinely excited for the rest of the series!
