Hence, in the same vain. They come from mastodon themselves.
Simply said: It's an open-source version of Reddit, in the same vain that mastodon is an open-source version of Twitter.

Usually themed games are not too enjoyable. But you could try Billy bear's Enchanted Easter at your own risk.

I work in a workshop, so the radio is always on. Else I would suck at this game
How does reddit not have a 100% top provider user Stat, while it's the only site you can create a reddit account?
Expectation: time travel technology

Haha. Thanks a lot! Even though most of it is due to self interest :p
My god, the lint build-up!
Yeah. It was unreal back then. Most computers didn't have a 3d card back then. So seeing this one with a 3d card was mind-blowing.
Need For Speed III: Hot Pursuit - The seeds of what was to come in the series.
I never had a computer that could run this, but now, with my old IBM and added Voodoo card, it's great. I used to be so impressed by the reflections!
I remember going to my friends house to play this in his dad's home office. My father's friend actually bought a force feedback wheel just for this game. He had to hold the desk with his other hand because else he would rip the wheel straight off. Great memories.
The game still holds up, if you like arcade racers with dated graphics (but let's be honest, if you're here, you don't care about graphics). It's less weird, and a little more grounded, than Need For Speed 2. And the police mode is fun, although easy once you get the hang of it.
I don't know why arcade racers fell off the radar. And the ones that still are arcadey, never feel fun enough. I think the effect where the fov changes to make it "feel faster" just turns me off. Only thing still somewhat encapsulating the old arcade feel is probably Trackmania. And that's just r
I recently created [email protected] and it's been quite a growth. 336 subscribers in 5 days. It's a community to find games by describing it. There are quite a few games found already, which makes me happy.
[email protected] and [email protected] have slowed down. Both in posting and activity. I should find some interesting games to post there again. It's where most of my passion in gaming is. And I love the games of yesteryear. Communities won't grow without posts to back it up, and I've been slacking.
We mostly try to keep the server running, and let people be people. Not much admin work to do on a small instance. Thankfully. But we're happy to have you!

I'm a sucker for pasta. Especially Alfredo. Looks tasty!
Tip of my Joystick - Find games by describing it.
This community is to find that game you can’t remember. Like it’s on the tip of your tongue.
Do you remember something about a game, but can't find the title? Do you want to finally know what it is? Post here and maybe someone can help.
Come to find your game, or help others find theirs!

What are some of your favorite forgotten gems?
We all play the same games most of the time. From the classic FPS grandfather's to the Point 'n Click adventures that never really got any traction past the 90s.
What are your favorite hidden gems? Games that few people know, but should know?
I'll start. Ascendency. A strategy space game where you pick an alien race, and try to take over, or befriend, the entire universe. Getting spaceships, going to planets, building bases and diplomacy. The time can be sped up, but do it at your own risk, because the AI does not wait.
We are now allowing windows xp and newer games
To get some more activity on this community we are now allowing any game released on any windows version.
There are some simple rules:
- Specify windows version in the title
- if it's a game from before 2000, make sure to add [Retro] to the title.
Thanks for joining in and contributing!
Edit: I was reported for rule 2. Great stuff. Happy April Fools!

Left it to cook in the oven for hours. It was absolutely delicious!

Welcome, all new users, to RetroLemmy! - a quick guide to Lemmy
There is currently a big influx of new users. Most, if not all, being reddit refugees.
I want to welcome you all to the fediverse, lemmy and retrolemmy specifically. If you need help starting out you can either try [email protected] or you can comment here, post in this community or message me or @[email protected] directly. We are here to help.
Some basic things:
Usernames are usually written out as @[email protected]. The @ in front indicates a user. It looks like an e-mail adress by design, Because there can be users with the same name on different instances. For example: @[email protected]
Communities are usually written out as [email protected] . The exclamation point indicates a community. This also looks like an e-mail address because there can also be communities with the same name on different instances.
