Sometimes, a video game enjoyer just wants to be showered in nostalgia.
Sometimes maybe they just want to be more immersed before starting a playthrough of a classic game.
Maybe they obsessively keep a (digital) journal and want to give it a bit more color by including trailers, posters, commercials, you name it.
So I wanted to ask what your go-to sites to get all that good stuff are. Are there any, even?
GOG does preservation. That and Archive.org are the ones I use.
this is awesome, thanks!
Out of Print archive is my go to for nostalgia.
make sure to look in the WIP section for even more magazines
Thanks! Didn’t know about this one.
Not the most searchable since it’s main use is through it’s api (I use it through retrodeck/ES-DE which is for ROM libraries) but screenscraper.fr contains scans of boxart, title art, videos from the games, manuals that used to come with physical copies and a lot more.
If you want retro ROMs, I can’t help you since I don’t know if I can link to those types of sites but ask on !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com and check their wiki linked at the top of the community.
Sounds interesting, I’ll check it out.
Luckily, I have the ROM part covered, but thanks for the pointer 👌
Discs, roms, piracy.
