My beloved NES cartidges are getting pretty old, and some of them have been functioning sporadically recently. Do you know of other backup alternatives other than RetroZone's PowerPak? It's pretty expensive, is it the only alternative?

Counter-Strike: Source is perhaps my all-time favorite games, but even it has something that is bothering me more and more after all these years: the default radio sounds. I've seen a few alternative radio packs, but none are complete (and none of them are an improvement). I find it difficult to...

In regular (not Super) Street Fighter IV for XBox 360 you could create player matches. You could make a player match friends-only, invite your friend, and play tons of matches. In Super Street Fighter IV, there are no player matches anymore. I can invite my friends if I create a game in endless ...

Which Killstreak Rewards count towards your current kill streak? My understanding is that all rewards from a Care Package do not, nor those from Emergency Airdrop crates. Was the Pave Low recently changed to count? What about the Stealth Bomber, Precision Airstrike, Attack Helicopter and the Sen...

In Options -> Multiplayer -> Advanced there's an option called "Suicide after choosing a player class". What does it do? Is it a good idea to check/uncheck?

As my Question on freezings on Dragon Age: Origins seems not to be able to help me, I think it's a rather general problem on my PC. So what are you doing, when a game keeps on running unstable? If my topic survives I can delete following paragraph: Dear close-berserk-user, I hope this question ...

Hi, My friends and I are talking about buying the same couple of games to play online. Any recommendation on the best ones out there for that purpose? A part from Call of Duty saga and Little Big Planet. Thanks in advance :)

Hi, one of my questions was closed so it's pretty probable someone flagged it before. Wouldn't it be nice to get a note telling me the statement the user made to see what I made wrong? (the users nick doesn't have to be connected with this note) Probably this helps in making less mistakes in the...

The title says it all. I'm looking for the best leveling spec for Champions in Lord of the Rings Online. 'Best' in a MMO means a nice balance of survivability and efficiency. This should include traits, virtues, weapons (dual wield or two handed weapons)

Just wanted to know. How do you go about rushing reapers? I've been experimenting on 9 and 10 but almost always ends up with an enemy protoss having stalkers or terran marauders.

Does anybody here have a good grasp on how to successfully control the planes in Battlefield Heroes? I've fiddled with the sensitivity settings so at least I can bank and whatnot more quickly, but some of the aerial dogfighting and troop-gunning that I've seen seem way beyond my reach. Any advi...

I noticed that most of my online friends on PS3 are around level 5 or 6 (from acquiring trophies) when I see their profile, what is the max level you can achieve? What is the benefit for having high levels?

I heared when you buy sc2 you get 2 keys you can give to someone to play the game for 2 weeks. i bought the game as digital download in the blizzard shop...

I've downloaded all the required files in order to host an on-line multi-player Minecraft game on my computer, and successfully made a server. However, it seems that I can only make games in free build mode, where you have unlimited resources to build with. I prefer the single-player mode where y...

Call me a pansy, but I can't deal with ascii graphics for too long. This means that my dwarf fortress playing time is limited. Is there any way to change the output to be more colorful and less ascii?

I started the tutorials about 6 months ago and have only just come back to the game. I have no idea what was in the tutorials I did 6 months ago and now need to replay them!

If you look at the hardware specs of the PS3 (in Wikipedia, for example) you will notice that the system have 256Mb RAM and 256Mb VRAM. What is going on here? Is the processor or is it something more that i'm missing? For me is way too little compared with good looking games need in PCs, for exam...

Will it work in multiplayer?

There are so many replay sites, and so many of them are useless. So many replays and replay packs are on megaupload-like sites and submitted only to some forums. What is the best way of searching for replays of good players?

I want to see how his build (whatever it is) work with different opponents. (And of course steal and perfect it :) )

In land battles, you automatically start with one unit, which appears to be your strongest non-hero unit. In space battles, enough units will initially spawn to fill your reinforcement cap. Is there a way to control which units spawn? For example, if I had some y-wings but knew the enemy had a ...

None of my party members have had success in getting the Battle.net voice chat to work. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Thanks.

The design of gaming.stackexchange.com seems to be more like a schoolwork or homework type design. What does this have to do with gaming? Is this just temporary?

I'm still kinda new to the game (still haven't even got my first 80), but I've played eventually for the past couple months and noticed they have the new voice feature. But I never heard anyone speaking. I know people do use Ventrilo, and eventually TeamSpeak, but what about the ingame voice-cha...

I'm going to buy gothic 2 but I didn't play the first chapter. Is this doable? Will I miss a lot? Would you suggest me to play the first chapter before?

Game design and development questions are considered off-topic, and should be asked on the corresponding Stack Exchange sister site. But what defines a question as being about game development? How do I know where to ask my questions about consoles and mechanics?

I saw them in the preferences. What are they? How do they work?
