Thread Description
Wow, can't believe it's been more than a year since we started RTT. I feel like we have become a community of our own within GameTZ. We have our regulars and even some new comers. I hope 2018 brings us more like-minded retro gamers who will come here for a place of retro inspiration. When I started Retro Trade Thead (RTT), it was called "The Retro Trading Thread", kinda like how FB was "The Facebook", heh, I was just hoping for a group of retro gamers who share the passion and the thrill of collecting and playing Retro games. The result so far has exceeded my expectations and more. I am playing more retro games than ever and while my collecting is on and off, I know I have been enjoying more retro gaming in 2017 than my previous 5 years combined. I hope RTT members have similar experiences. 2018 will be an even better year, as we have established group events like RTT Secret Santa and our monthly Game of the Month, which is getting more popular as more people participate. I am hoping to bring RTT Podcast in 2018 where 2-3 RTT members will talk about monthly topics and other aspects of retro collecting.

Retro game buying and selling, collecting, playing, collectarding, upscaling, speedrunning....whatever your retro passion is, RTT will have a place for you and for everyone who participates in our discussions, whether occasionally or frequently, will continue to find value and fun in our thread.

Thank you for participating and making RTT the hottest topic every month in 2017!

Old Topic Description

This thread was originally created to encourage traders here at GTZ to do more trading, especially retro related stuff. It has turned into a lot more and I am so grateful to everyone who contributed to this thread and have kept it going for nearly 6 months now. I hope this thread will continue to thrive and everyone who reads/participates in this thread will gain some value or knowledge out of it.

We will still have Trade lists up here, though it's been a while since anyone updated. I encourage everyone to look over their lists and post updates.
There is also a section for gorgeous pictures of game rooms that active participants of this thread have shared. Feel free to share some pics of your collection or game room.
I will be adding another section for information regarding video quality of retro gaming systems on modern displays and how to improve them.
There is rather some extensive discussion regarding how to improve the display quality of retro gaming systems and if you are new to this like I am, you will find it very informative.

Old Old Topic Description

GTZ has become a marketplace where the most commonly traded commodity is

. I want to start an effort to get some trades going and to discuss some good games perhaps you never heard of or interested in but want to discover/know more of. For example, I just got intto shmups after years of ignoring the genre and I love to discover new(to me) and rediscover old ones(Sonic Wings comes to mind).

No pressure here. Feel free to discuss anything retro. Perhaps throw out some WTTF targets and what you have to offer. I am sick of browsing people's year old Available lists.

Some examples:

- WTTF/WTB/LF
- What you think is awesome game/series/whatever
- Potential games you have up for trade
- Pics of what you have/what you would love to get/what you think is the bestest awesomest game ever
- Show off your latest finds/adds to your collection

Same here. I like Q3A, but UT is way more fun.

I only ever played Quake and unreal games on my Dreamcast and OG Xbox. The only shooters I played on pc was way back when I was still a teen, and they were Doom (of course) and Heretic (or Hexen I can't remember which was the original name on pc) maybe wolfenstein 3d at some point. And yes I REALLY liked Heretic (or Hexen whatever) even compared to Doom.

Anyways as far as comparing those two game series I always preferred Unreal. Those were the types of fps games I really liked besides Doom. Anything with a more arcade feel to it is fun. Kinda why the Dreamcast was such a great System.

When Quake III came out I was slightly disappointed. I LOVE Quake single player so it felt too eSports-y before that was even a thing. Not like I didn't buy Team Arena as soon as I could though. Just focused on fast paced deathmatch, the gameplay is outstanding though.

UT99 I always thought was amazing and I've played the crap out of it.

For me UT99 = Quake > UT2K4 > Quake III > Most other video games.

Unreal 04 best multiplayer shooter ever made but people keep making shooters it's weird.

No way congrats! I actually kinda wanted the safari hunt game even though I technically can't play it. Unless I get all kinds of extra stuff just to play it lol.

Yeah I would've passed on it until I saw him mention he had a gun in another thread so I grabbed it. It's untested but I'm sure it's fine. He's only charging me 10 bucks which is a nice price.

I was always UT, mostly because I sucked hard at Q3A. Plus I like the weapons and music a lot more.

What were we talking about money?games? I'm not sure how much money I will have anytime soon though.

I know I haven't gone through all my stuff and listed it like I meant to, I'm still kinda getting over this flu. Or maybe it's not gone idk.

I've gone for one walk in two weeks it was at night and I came home drenched in a fever sweat. It was fun!

Well I gotta get to work when I'm feeling better then. I'll let you know when I finally add stuff. Of course just so you know @Gypsy I'm only adding it to my collection which you can always browse and ask about stuff.

I just don't want to deal with random people lowballing me if I leave stuff in my available list is all.
