After my having 3 Sinclair computers, I moved on to Atari ST, for a week... before I switched it for an Amiga. At the time, Atari and Amiga were the big names in home computing, while those with more funds might have gone with a Mac or a PC.
What did you use?

cyberboy here with a new introduction.
in case this is the first time you've seen me around these parts, welcome, I'm here to make friends and share things that I think are neat. I don't bite (at least not without permission). i am a not a human, i am a cute floofy pansexual kitty cat and a therian that prefers he/him pronouns but you can use whatever you like when referring to me (get creative if you want).
i really love retrogames, the Pokémon series and all of the Pokémon games, especially rom hacks, I'm always open to nerding out about my favorite rom hacks and Pokémon stuff in general :3
since you've made it this far into my introduction please feel free to follow me, new friends are always welcome

💾NEW PODCAST!💾 Back when we started out in 2017, one of our earliest members @toasty (being a keen cricket fan) asked "are there any cricket games for DOS?".
It turns out: there are! Lots of them, in fact.
We dove into the wacky world of DOS cricket and explored what's there.
Don't know how cricket even works? No worries, neither do we!
💾 NEW PODCAST!💾 In episode 95 we take a look at Wacky Wheels, developed by Beavis Soft and published by Apogee in 1994.
The SNES had Super Mario Kart, but we had Wacky Wheels and that's just as good, we thought. Especially those of us who hadn't played Super Mario Kart 😅
How does it hold up now? Let's find out!

I just launched a new shirt design! Purchasing one of these ensures two things:
1. You look awesome.
2. You support this Retro Gaiden Mastodon instance
I have more ideas for future designs, but I'm quite happy with how this one turned out!

Feel free to check out the other designs in the store.
Hi @confusedbunny. Your #RetroGaming #music feeds on #BotsInSpace have been really awesome over the last couple years. I listen to a few #chiptunes every day.
Are you planning to migrate the bots? I believe mas.to has invited you over to our instance. It would be great to have you here!
Tonight we will play Kyrandia 2: Hand of Fate!

Infocom's Hitchhiker's Guide, 30th Anniversary Edition.
Fancier than the Commodore 64 version I played as a kid.

💾 NEW PODCAST!💾 A while ago we held a poll here on Mastodon asking for a non-Lucas adventure game to play, and the winner was Beneath a Steel Sky (Revolution Software, 1994).
So that's what we're looking at in this episode!
Thank you for using LINC and be vigilant.
Kirby‘s Pinball Land is a surprisingly good and not quite so easy game. Pinball games on the GameBoy don’t work very well usually, but this isn’t a regular pinball game, which is why it works, I think!

💾 NEW PODCAST!💾 Because we've done over 100 episodes, we decided to celebrate this anniversary by revisiting DOOM, the very first game we ever looked at all the way back in March 2017.
Back then it was just the first game that came to mind, but in hindsight Doom is a vast rabbit hole that deserves further investigation.
So that's what we're doing!
