About the old school gaming union....

You will be able to chat about whatever you want. Also each week I (or an officer) will make up an NES game. The first one will be WaveRace NES and what we do is describe how the game is played and plot. Also we can take an image and make it 8-bit so it will be cool. Talk about Old-School gaming and if there is big news in the new gen of gaming it will be posted. Blogs will always be fascinating to read. Maybe we could alternate officers for the make an NES game that would be awesome. This union will be the best! Talk about Game Genie cheat codes, the crappy powerglove, heck anything!

If I were to be officer, then I have some ideas. Like a list of games to play and a list of games to smash with a sledgehammer if you see them. That's just one example of my ideas. The more people who contribute, the better.

will this union be truly an old school gaming union, or ONLY a NES gaming union. the only reason i ask is that you seem to be all about NES and nothing else. will you cover all the great old school platforms like the C-64, the Amiga, the many Atari consoles, the Sega Master System, the Turbo Grafx 16, the 3DO, and others??...

to answer your question it is the old school gaming union. Anything old-school like Atari 2600 or 5200 or even the 7800.I only really know Atari and NES games. Every1 else can speak about other classic game titles.

Atari 5200 was just a pile of bull****!
Also, to what era do you consider "classic gaming"?

Up until the end of the N64 and that's the end of the classic game era. A great time to be living in.

If the N64 is "classic", the Saturn and Dreamcast are too.

For me, "classic" is: NES / Famicom, SNES / Super Famicom, SC-1000, SC-3000, Master System / Mark III, Mega Drive / Genesis, 32x, Mega CD / Sega CD, TurboGrafx / PC Engine (all variants with and without CD), Neo Geo AES (I'm not counting arcade platforms; we're talking about consoles), Atari consoles and basically ever other platform released around the time of or before the NES.

The CDI and 3DO were too different, I'm not sure if I'd count them as "classic". Probably not. Saturn, N64, Dreamcast? If any one of them is classic it's the Saturn. The N64 is much more similar to the PlayStation IMO.

I guess everyone has his or her own definition of what classic consoles are. My instant reaction to the N64 is: No, it's not classic. It took console gaming into 3D together with the PlayStation.

Note that I am talking about consoles, not home computers. There are a hell of a lot of "classic" home computers: The Vic20, C64, C128, Amiga, Atari, Sinclair Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, MSX and PC-98 computers - and that's only mentioning some of the more popular ones.
