Hey everyone,

SimCity 2000 is one of those games I keep coming back to. There’s something about its little isometric buildings, soundtrack and newspaper stories that never gets old.

I’m Daniel, and I’ve been working on Reticulating Splines, a free, open-source project built on Nicholas Ochoa’s OpenSC2K. His work made this possible.

The idea is to keep the familiar SC2000 experience while adding optional extras: day/night lighting, weather, more convenient tools and multiplayer, which is currently in beta. You can import the graphics, music and sounds from your own supported copy, or use the included replacement assets. You can also leave the enhancements off for a more classic experience.

This is a modern reimplementation for Windows, Linux and macOS, rather than a patch for the DOS executable. It’s still in development, and feedback from people who know the original well would be especially welcome.

For transparency: I’m not a programmer. I use OpenAI Codex extensively for development, alongside my own planning and testing. AI has also been used for replacement artwork and promotional materials.

What’s the one thing about SimCity 2000 you’d want a project like this to preserve?

I'm the developer of Minesweeper Ultimate, which is on sale until October 29th.

The game aims to bring back the excitement of classic minesweeper, as well as offering new ways to play with a variety of game modes.
It also offers several modern quality-of-life features like leaderboards, hints and a choice of visual styles.

With over 20,000 players and Very Positive reviews on Steam, now's the perfect time to rediscover minesweeper!

Pessoal, alguém aqui que tenha mais de 25 anos e jogava no site “ojogos” consegue lembrar de um joguinho que você era literalmente uma panqueca com um pratinho na mão, chapéu de chefe, luvas e sapatos brancos. Você tinha que correr, passar por obstáculos e pegar panquecas que ficavam espalhadas pelo caminho. Cada nível era um cenário diferente… eu tentei de todas as formas mas não consigo lembrar o nome. Achoooo que tinha algo como “pancake, ou cook”

Por favor me ajudem!!! Queria muito achar esse jogo. Já tentei em várias IAs para ver se encontrava e nada :(

I was at work this week and i overheard a group of people talking about “vintage” video games they’d played recently.

I’d actually just watched the second Lara Croft film, The Cradle of Life the night before (Why? You’re asking, it’s 2026! Why? I reply. Because it’s a bloody great film and will always be one my faves)

I wandered over joined in and made a reference to Tomb Raider and locking the butler in the freezer. AND NO ONE UNDERSTOOD. I asked what “vintage” games they were talking about. They were talking about games on the original DS… Specifically one of them mention Nintendogs and called it retro.

I asked if anyone had played any Sega or PlayStation One from the 90s. What was the response?

“Omg there’s a PlayStation ONE?” And “You had video games in the 90s?”

I learnt that I’m old.

I learnt that although I’m 33 and I feel like I’m 25, when you talk to a 25 year old they make you feel 50.

I also learnt the younger generation are a little stupid. Sorry bout it. But obviously. They knew there was a PlayStation three, four and five but didn’t realise there was a PlayStation one and two.

Side note: we found a floppy disk when clearing out the office and the intern asked if we’d “3D printed the Save icon”. 😂🤦‍♀️

I KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT TOOK GREAT JOY IN LOCKING THE BUTLER IN THE FREEZER.

Make yourself known. We may not be super young anymore. Yes we may have back problems and knee problems and hip problems and breathing problems and slightly damaged brains from drinking in parks from the age of 14 (certainly if you’re English)

But what we do have my friends. Is locking that helpful little bitch in the freezer. For no other reason that pure malice. It was a special time. And kids these days can’t take that away from us.

Reddit, please do your thing and make me feel not alone and old in a world of video games where you can no longer be so delightfully, and whimsically evil.

Also the locking the butler in the freezer was something we all just knew to do. No one on the internet told us to do it. We just all did it. It’s the Marilyn Manson rumour of video games. (Also please tell me you get that reference - if you don’t, you’re too young for this post. Go out and buy a Sega and a PS1 and a GameCube, have some blocky, pixely, actually vintage fun - you’ll love it)

Hello everyone, I'm a 4th year college student. I have always wanted a game console, particularly, the Gameboy SP. I have loved playing the GBA games on my phone ever since I was a kid, I did want to get the original gameboy, but couldn't due to how expensive it was to ask for to my parents, I didn't like begging for expensive stuff especially when it's a want and not a need.

Now I have saved up at least 6,000 philippine pesos which is around $95 USD ish. There's one that I saw selling reshelled SPs for the same price my money is around at. Now, my girlfriend also recommended why not just get an Anbernic SP which is cheaper. With the price here around 4,500 PHP which is $75 ish USD. Which I thought would be nice too because that way I wouldn't buy the games anymore (+expenses long run).

So now I'm really torn between the two which I'd get. If I get the original, I'd have the experience of owning the actual SP that I dreamt of as a kid, and the feeling of plugging in the games at the bottom, which lacked for the emulator consoles like Anbernic.

Longevity wise, which should I get? Like in the long run would an original SP be better or more expensive in terms of fixing parts + games. For the Anbernic SP is it easier to break when played naturally almost everyday for hours?

Thank you so much for the help.

Heey everyone! I'm hoping someone can help me to find a game from my childhood.

It came from those Brazilian magazines that included CD-ROMs packed with game collections, mostly was Flash games, SWF files, and demos. The publisher of those magazines was Digerati, and this would've been around 2000 or 2001.

Here's everything I can remember about the game:

· 2D graphics with a flat, simple art style

· A female main character

· A city skyline / buildings in the background

· Aliens attacking from the sky

· Power-ups that drop from enemies

· Side-scrolling perspective

· It's at least 10% similar to games like Heli Attack 2 or3.

I know there's an archive site that catalogs games from that era, but there are just too many to dig through, and I haven't found it yet. I'm about 90% sure it was playable on one of those Digerati CD-ROMs.

If anyone recognizes this or has any leads, I'd be incredibly grateful.

Thanks in advance!

A childhood memory flashed in my head today about a video I used enjoy very much. I was 8 years old in 2008 and we had this old PC and the game was literally on a floppy disk. I think it was about a children's cartoon that I'm positive I also watched on TV. I think it had 4 kids (3 boys and 1 girl if I'm not mistaken) who would go on adventures and save the world. If I remember correctly the kids were friends with a talking lion who would fight together with them or something. And the most vivid memory about the game that remember is that there was a level where you controled one of the characters Riding a skateboard whilst avoiding obstacles and I think you scored points by eating pizza (or was it regain health). The level was also in top down view. I just joined this sub mainly because it's been bugging me all day. It's a precious memory and I can't remember the cartoon and or video game. A million people in here, surely what I just wrote is gonna ring a bell for someone. I would really appreciate it if someone pointed me in the right direction. Thanks.

I have been seeing a ton of ads for the Tekko hand held console that is loaded with thousands of games. I would love a handheld console, with decent controls, that will play NES, Genesis and SNES retro games. What is the best cost effective options out there, before the holidays?

RED KITE is a retro inspiring action platformer, do you like the game? So it meets the requirements for a good indie game?

I actually think it's pretty cool, especially the story, but I'm not that into the retro scene haha

Games Name „RED KITE„ by ROEGA

okay so i dont remember much about the game or the title. but it was like a 2000's flash game i
and im pretty sure it was an adventure. the main character was a dog and i think you play as her, she was brown and white and had long fur but was slim, about the size of a husky. (its a really breed js cant remember the name). the title had the dogs name in it, and i was like a point and click type of game. i dont know if i made this up or actually played it
