Where to Find Specific Retro Game Lists and Forum Discussions on Racketboy
Updated
Racketboy's homepage is the fastest route to platform-specific game lists and community discussion. The page surfaces a set of "rarest and most valuable" articles by console (NES, Sega Saturn, Xbox, Nintendo 3DS, among others) plus a dedicated Active Forum Discussions section. If you already know which platform you care about, start with the matching list article; if you want conversation rather than reference material, go straight to the forum block.
Platform-Specific Game Lists
The homepage links directly to individual console articles, so you don't need to search the site to reach them. The lists visible on the page include:
| Console / Topic | Article Type |
|---|---|
| NES | Rarest and most valuable games |
| Sega Saturn | Rarest and most valuable games |
| Xbox (original) | Rarest and most valuable games |
| Nintendo 3DS | Rarest and most valuable games |
| Commodore Amiga | Shmup library essentials |
| Retro console hardware | Price guide |
Two things are worth noting about how to use these. First, the "rarest and most valuable" framing means these articles are organized around collecting and pricing interest, not around reviews or playthroughs — expect coverage of which titles are hard to find and why they command attention. Second, the scope is broader than Nintendo and Sega: the presence of an Amiga shmup guide and a general retro hardware price guide shows the site covers computer platforms and hardware alongside consoles.
Finding a List for a Console Not Shown
The homepage excerpt only exposes a subset of the site's articles. If your platform isn't in the visible set, the practical approach is to use the site's own navigation or search rather than assuming the coverage doesn't exist — the homepage is a highlight reel, not a full index. Start from the console name plus "rarest" or "price guide" as your search terms.
Forum Discussions
The Active Forum Discussions section on the homepage is the entry point to the community side of the site. It's positioned as a live feed of current threads rather than an archive, which means:
- It's best used when you want to see what people are talking about now, or to jump into an ongoing thread.
- For a specific past topic, you'll likely need to go into the forum proper and browse or search, since the homepage block only shows what's currently active.
If your goal is a question like "is this game worth what sellers are asking," the forum is the more appropriate venue than the static list articles, which don't update with market chatter.
Choosing Between the Two
Use the list articles when you want a stable reference: which games are rare, which are valuable, what belongs in a platform's library. Use the forum when you want current opinion, buying advice from other collectors, or to ask about something the articles don't cover. The two complement each other — a list tells you a title is scarce; a thread tells you whether people think the current asking price is reasonable.
One caution on the price material: the site presents price guides as editorial content, and the homepage gives no indication of how often figures are refreshed. Treat any specific value as a starting reference and verify against current listings before buying or selling.
