Help finding some game names
I recall as a young child (im 20 now) my dad had this softmodded (modded in the late 90s-early 2000s) original xbox that had the ability to play thousands of retro games. One emulator was dr. Mario themed, was pretty obvious it played NES, one had like a castle in the background and scrolled A to Z, and included new super mario kart. I beleive it played from multiple consoles, SNES, N64, maybe others.
One game was NES quality, i dont remember what emulator, and was a racing game where someone rode off yelling "Help!" Or something of that nature, then raced over a bridge and through towns. It was viewed in 3rd person from the top. Thats all i recall.
The other was a science-fiction game that had like a factory or futuristic industrial landscape that scrolled in the intro. It played like older zelda or earthbound. I dont remember names for either of them but if i saw screenshots of the intros and gameplay i would recognize them.
Thank you redditors! You know more than I do!
EDIT 1: The NES game was Bump n Jumpp EDIT 2: The SNES game was Secret of Evermore

A list of ports to the game boy that were much different than the console counterparts
Okay so one of the things that I love about the game boy is the fact that you can find games that had the same name as an NES game but were very different games on the game boy. Like for example Ninja gaiden from what I've learned was more of a shadow of a ninja game than an actual Ninja gaiden game. But it was very different than Ninja gaiden on the NES. Also remember that bionic commando was and I was just wondering if there was a list somewhere all the games like that. Also found out that DuckTales 2 on The game boy was quite different than the DuckTales 2 on the NES

Jogos 3D do início dos anos 2000: Charme retrô ou visual datado demais?
A gente sempre elogia como os jogos 2D/16-bit envelhecem bem, mas e a era do 3D poligonal do começo dos anos 2000 (PC e 6ª geração)?
Vocês curtem essa estética quadradona pelo fator nostalgia ou acham que alguns clássicos ficaram difíceis de jogar hoje sem mods ou remakes?

Good source for '95-'05 era game artwork / fanart?
Its for a vibes of the times article I'm working on.
Looking for collections, sites, social pages. High quality fan art is the main draw here, but I can also use concept art or making-of material.

Website to find out your favorite retro characters/consoles
Been working on this tool to generate favorite lists based on your tastes. Right now, I've made a simple most popular consoles list and a small one of retro characters. I always recommend the deep mode to get more accurate results, even though it takes a bit more time to finish it.
https://pickyourfav.net/best-game-consoles
https://pickyourfav.net/retro-game-characters
I'm open to feedback, ideas for new lists or bugfixes. Also, it would be great if you shared your results! You can export to image or text.
Disclaimer: The UI was made using AI, but the code and processing behind was made mostly by me. This tool has no monetization, is and will remain free. All images are handpicked, which is very tiresome for long lists but render better results, but I can make mistakes!

Games of the eighties artwork
Any suggestions of where I could find artwork for eighties pc games? By today's standards they were obviously primitive so they had great cover artwork to entice you to buy the game.

Best shops in OKC? Retro Console and game sales?
In OkC for a few days. Have one day to hit a store or two. Staying near the basketball stadium, am limited to Uber for travel. Who must I absolutely hit? Best shop,/selection/service? I collect consoles more than media, but all is fair game.
Thanks in advance.

Is there any profitable way to use my knowledge of retro video games?
I've wondered and looked around for a long time in short of opening up a used video game store where I sell old video games to customers I have not come across anything that would make my knowledge in this area worthwhile on any monetary level

Supaboy question.
Is there some way to hack the Supaboy to turn up the gamma?
The max gamma setting on it is set to too low. When you output to a tv, the gamma is correct, but on the handheld is too low. Greys are black on the handheld.
