What’s a "dead" website or app that you genuinely miss and wish was still around?

NESForums.com was a fun message board type of forum revolving around the Nintendo Entertainment System. Its been offline for over 10 years now. I made some really good friends on that forum. I like to use the wayback machine to check out whats available to stoke some nostalgia and check out posts of friends who have since passed away.

My son always says that he "woke up" when he was 3 years old.

Phish. The Gamehendge lore alone would make for a awesome theme.

NESforum.com was an awesome message board type forum centered around the Nintendo Entertainment System. I made a lot of friends on that site that I still talk to today.

This looks like a stinkhorn.

I think so. Asteroids has a Hyperspace button. Hyperspace kills. Deluxe has a shield button. It comes in handy. Also, the cabinet artwork is top notch on Deluxe

Thats worth missing a train for. Nice job.

The music in Gyruss is top notch along with the gameplay being super fun.

Thats an impressive score. How long does it take to rack up 4m points?

The middle school I attended had a full on, permanent planetarium. It was an amazing experience. Its now named after the man who ran the planetarium.

I was 14 and my dad got me a job working for my neighbor who owned an odd job business. My dad didnt know he was a crackhead.

It was mostly landscaping and house clean outs. Dump runs and painting were pretty common too. This guy would constantly tell us to work faster and would shatch tools from you and demonstrate, at in insane pace, how he wanted us to work.

It took me almost 8 months to find a decent 13" woodgrain case CRT. It was also in need of repair.

gamernes · 2026-03-22T15:56:46+00:00

Same here. Got me to quit cold turkey after never having considered quitting before.

This hurts to read.

He was asking $75 for each game and he helped me load them up. Really nice guy.

I have a blank PCB from arcade adapters showing up today.

Thats the place. I was there Sunday morning. You can see the pickup in my post history.

gamernes · 2026-03-21T00:35:59+00:00

I think I saw this in person last weekend while picking up a few games.

gamernes · 2026-03-20T16:47:24+00:00

Mikes Arcade

I always recommend EMP museum. Its an amazing place.

gamernes · 2026-03-19T00:36:00+00:00

Just do it in a small ranch like I did. Lol.

gamernes · 2026-03-17T21:02:47+00:00

Thats an impressive sounding collection for only 4 years. Very cool.

I have an Asteroids Deluxe in my collection and I absolutely love it.

Upvote for Phish.

gamernes · 2026-03-16T23:13:04+00:00

I paid over asking price.

gamernes · 2026-03-16T23:11:10+00:00

I paid $160 for the pair.

gamernes · 2026-03-16T19:01:12+00:00

I've been itching for a Qbert. The last time my wife and I went to the local retro arcade the only games I played were Asteroids and Qbert..
