That new MMO doesn't warrant your attention and the latest Call of Duty game can't keep your focus. You'd rather be jumping on Goombas, hunting for the Triforce, dominating battlefields, raising empires, and freeing furry creatures from the clutches of Dr. Robotnik. You prefer the sweet soundtrack of 8-bit bliss. You love old (or, by some people's standards, ancient) games. So do we! Connect with others who understand your passion for yesterday's gaming masterpieces. Share your enthusiasm for classic gaming.

I founded a group called Retro Gamers in hopes of finding others who love classic gaming.

I, for one, was introduced to gaming by way of 5-inch floppy disks run by a machine that, by today's standards, could hardly qualify as a computer. To this day, I remain a huge fan of older PC and video games. From Galaga to Zelda to Sonic to Pokemon to, yes, the original Halo.

You might be a retro gamer if:
-You've felt pain upon learning that your princess was in another castle.
-That pink water makes you nervous for some reason.
-You know why the pink water would make you nervous and where the quote came from.
-You carry a sword, because it would be dangerous to go alone.
-You hate to come in 8th place, because at some point doing so was the biggest disappointment of your life. It's okay, we know it was the blue shell's fault.

Note: Those are by no means requirements for joining. Just for fun.
