!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I've been a gamer since the 70s. Started with pong, Atari 2600, Atari 800 with basic... Compute magazine where games weren't included on media, it was 5 pages of code you had to type in to play the game ...

I keep telling young people the reason you have these awesome titles today is because of my generation playing fucking pac man.

I love hearing about the development of the old arcade games. It was truly the wild west. Uncharted territory.

I grew up playing a lot of them on my dad's Atari 2600, early DOS ports, and whatever arcade cabinets were still around through the 90s.
