What makes you feel nostalgic?

[el numero uno]

Recently, I've been thinking about buying a Super Nintendo to play Super Mario World and other games in a RGB TV .

As you can guess, it's difficult to find one in good conditions, and finding games is really hard too.

I could use an emulator, I could buy the mini version, but noo... nostalgia kicks in and makes me want to buy the real deal. WTH?

The Bee Gees, particularly "How deep is your love"..

I remember sitting in my dorm room listening to this song on a vinyl record and having all sorts of feelings while smoking a fatty.

Today, whenever the song comes on the radio, it takes me back to those days.

Good call man!  RGB is the best way to play vintage video games.  Sadly it was never used in the U.S on mainstream TV's.  I have a Super Nintendo hooked up via S-Video, which is the best option we have in the states, without modification. 

Finding a Super Nintendo should be pretty easy, even in really good shape.  The games are also relatively easy to find, although certain titles can cost quite a bit!  Luckily, a lot of the popular first party titles have gone down in price significantly since the release of the SNES Mini.  I would check out Facebook marketplace and craigslist before jumping on Ebay.  Try to buy games in large lots and sell/trade of the games you don't want!  I was able to do this when I first started collecting seriously, and was able to amass a collection of over 500 NES games with little money spend out of pocket!

Good luck!


Oh... and to answer your question, video games from my childhood is pretty much the only thing I'm nostaligic about.  lol

500 games sounds like a dream come true lol. I'm not in the US, and I live in a small town, so those things are a little hard to find. Still, I appreciate your advice, sounds like a good strategy!

You can get a box that will convert RGB to HDMI.

I agree with music.... A certain cologne or perfume also brings back strong nostalgic feelings for me as well.

What is RGB?

I have a Sega Genesis I was thinking about breaking out but it wont fit my TV.  I love this old game called "Star Control".

But where was the diversity? How did you guys have strength without multiculturalism?

That’s an insensitive comment, most of us haven’t left our parents living room since 1972

Music and for some reason old ads from music / life style magazines from my youth circa late 80's, 90's. Google Books lets you read full magazines from New York (https://books.google.com/books/serial/ISSN:00287369?rview=1) and Vibe (https://books.google.com/books/serial/ISSN:10704701?rview=1), and a few others. The old ads always take me back to certain events in my childhood by the long route.

I'll see a t-shirt or sneaker ad, and be like "Oh, I remember those, Ricky had them on back when we went up to Chinatown to buy fireworks", and things like that.

Those old ads can be a trip, some of them look so dated now. The worst though is seeing some band or obscure movie from back then, and realizing it's 20 - 30 years old or that the people are now usually 50+. The years, they sneak up .

I have several old consoles, but I prefer to use an emulator to play the games. More for convenience really.

The old 16 bit games still look great on a monitor or HD tv.
