Arcade History is a great Mame emulator database and a main source for this site. Updated regularly, you'll find the latest trivia, stats and info about every arcade title that currently runs on Mame. |
|
|
The Video Game Museum contains a huge console and arcade-related screenshot, endings, ads, and scans compendium that has been around for quite a while. Huge. |
|
|
The ultimate place for top quality arcade flyers, posters, manuals, and ads. Not only is there a ton of them, but they are all free. |
|
|
The Ultimate Console Database is not only about games, but game systems primarily. From the most recent next-gen consoles to the most obscure, rare and even unreleased ones, covering all of gaming's history. Articles include system specifications, pictures, history and trivia among other things. |

With no introduction needed, Shmups is the best online compendium of shoot'em-up reviews. A classic that covers games from both the arcade and home consoles. Sadly, it is hardly ever upgraded nowadays. |
|
|
Underdog HG101 has been around for quite some time now. Despite its rustic design, it has an excellent choice of old-school games (with newer games coming to it lately too) and one of the best forums to hang out at. Updated and maintained regularly. |

Poor OPCFG almost kicked the bucket some time ago in the hands of Geocities, but its archives were rescued by HG101 and are now hosted at Classicgaming.com. It still retains its classic style and silly acronym, and a brand new version has risen from its ashes recently to be hosted on a different server. A lot like HG101, a good compilation of retro-gaming articles. |

Great old-school reviews of Japanese arcade and console titles as well as some very well-written rants by the hand of Recap. A definite must for spanish-speaking audiences. |
|
|
Insomnia offers a wide arrange of articles that focus mainly on Japanese news, retro reviews, arcade releases, and other interesting original pieces. |
|
|
One of the best Sega sites, for Sega fans. With reviews of most of its console games and other interesting articles. Also hosting a very popular forum. |

"The Angry Video Game Nerd" started as a podcast based on NES titles, but eventually evolved to include most old-school game consoles. From the Atari 2600 to the Sega CD, the nerd plays all the crap so we don't have to and then uploads his angry rants for our entertainment. A highly recommended, funny lighthearted podcast. |

|
The Mega 64 guys continue to freak pedestrians out with short bursts of cosplay-induced craziness. Silly, nerdy, and still great. |
|
|
Excellent videogame music site full of unofficial remixes for most console, computer and arcade titles. TONS of tunes. |
|
|
The Minibosses is a band from Arizona that started playing live versions of NES soundtracks, but nowadays you can find them playing "Halo" tunes and more recent stuff. One of the first videogame music bands. |

Steven is one crazy guy. One day he decided he would review all obscure Super Famicom and Saturn games ever made. Is he part of a cult? Are there any satanic influences involved? It's too late to find out, because he already succeeded. So before you start downloading that new fan translated ROM, do yourself a favor and ask Steven if it's worth it or not. |

Vyse calls himself "The Determined", but truth be told he needed more than determination to finally start his own site (namely some shoving and pushing from his friends). Here you'll find an impressively rapid-growing reviews section, sprite rips, his personal game collection, and much more to come in the future. |
