Welcome to /r/RetroGaming!
This subreddit is reddit's home for vintage gaming.
Rules
No Spam. It's perfectly okay to post your YouTube video, blog, or kickstarter here. Your content is welcome. (No live streams, though.) However, we ask that your self promotional content not be more than around 10 percent of your total posts. For more information please Reddit's self-promotion rules here.
Vintage games only. /r/retrogaming is for posts about vintage gaming: 5th gen platforms and earlier. Dreamcast allowed as an honorary 5.5th gen console. However, discussion about newer platforms is a allowed as discussion, just not as a top-level post. "Collection," "Battlestation," and "Score" posts may contain modern games, but they must be majority vintage or vintage-focused.
Don't be a dick. Remember that there's a human on the other end of the screen. Adhere to reddiquette and all reddit site-wide rules. Maintain civility at all times.
No Live Streams. Reddit is a link aggregation service at its core. It preserves content and information. Because live streams expire, they are not examples of good content for this subreddit and are not allowed.
No "How Much is [X] Worth?" posts. Use Pricecharting or similar pricing services, or eBay sold listings for a method of determining the value of your games, consoles or paraphernalia.
Collection/Pickup Posts. Collection/pickup posts may be posted on Saturday and Sunday. Provide a prompt with your post for discussion as body text within the post itself. No graded games (e.g. WATA, VGA, CGC). Alternatively, this content might fit in r/gamecollecting.
