Hi everyone! 

Just found this site a few days ago while looking for a place to play old school games. I was a bit wary to download anything from here, but have had nothing but good experiences so far. 

I probably wont be posting often in the forums, but thought I might as well check it out. I will however be recommending this site to a lot of my friends.

Hi Poohbahkryos and welcome to Vizzed! ~

Vizzed is the perfect place if you are searching for old-school games. You can play Mario, Zelda, Pokémon and many more old-school games here. You can even play some CD systems like Playstation 1. I am wondering what your favorite retro game is, could you tell me? I am sure that you'll enjoy Vizzed a lot!

It is fun to check out the Boards sometimes, looking at the newest features and the newest threads.

If you have any questions or problems about the games, feel free to PM me or the RGR Site Staff. We are happy to help you out!

Welcome to the site!

It's nice to hear you have only had good experiences. Vizzed is currently undergoing a major update, and feedback like this is much needed.

I like the fact you said "probably won't be posting often". I was like that as well when I started, but I eventually opened myself to the boards, so it could happen to you too if you find the correct places to post and the motivation to do so.

Go ahead and recommend this site to your friends. An interesting argument to convince them to join is the netplay feature. All games for the NES, SNES, Genesis, TurboGrafx, N64 and PSX have the ability to go multiplayer. 

Happy gaming! Please check the forums every so often, and don't hesitate to contact the staff if you ever need help.

Welcome to Vizzed! It's great to hear you're enjoying everything so far. The boards are pretty fun, so you may find it entertaining to go through them every now and then. But sometimes nothing can beat a good game.

Hopefully you keep enjoying your time here! And invite those friends too. You can earn a nice amount of Viz for referring them.  You can use Netplay to do multiplayer for multiple systems too, so that's even better!

Poobahkryos :
I'm new here too.
So far, there are so many games I can't touch my actual consoles.
Hope you like it; I know I am.

Wait wait wait!!!


Did someone say I can play online multiplayer with old school games? HOW CAN I MAKE THIS HAPPEN? I need to do this.

Could I be that someone?

To do this, you simply need to go to any game page of the allowed systems and scroll down until you see "Click here to start a netplay session". It costs 50 Viz to create a session, but it can really pay off in the form of a very good time.

If you don't want to spend Viz, you can see and join the current netplay sessions in the netplay lobby:  https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/netplaysessions.php

We are currently undergoing some difficulties with one of the servers of this site, so the netplay chat is not working. Still, you can join and create sessions for all the games I mentioned in my last post.

Keep in mind that you need an item to create sessions for PSX games, however you don't need said item to join already created sessions. Also, remember that not all computers manage to correctly emulate some systems and/or games while in netplay, this goes both for you and anybody you're playing with.

Poobahkryos : Hey! Welcome to the site! We are glad that you found us!

So now that you are a member of the site, what games are you most excited to play?

Netplay is indeed possible with other members on the site, which was noted above. I'm often in the netplay lobby, so feel free to join any of my sessions that you see open to the public. I'm always playing games, so hopefully we are able to find some time to play each other.

Feel free to PM me directly if you have any questions or issues with anything site related. I'm happy to help out when possible.

Welcome to Vizzed. Even though you won't be posting a lot, I am glad you've found the site. However lazy you may be, you'll find nothing but great fun around the boards and the RGR (Retro Game Room, the place for games, just in case you didn't know what it is called).

If you put in even a fraction of your day on Vizzed, I am certain you will find tons to do, whether it be post or game or even chat. In any case, fun will be had. Again, welcome to Vizzed! Remember to be active! Do that and you'll get great benefits.

Not sure at this point what games I will want to net play on as I usually play RPG's exclusively. I do enjoy a platform game from time to time though and will always check out a good suggestion.  

Among my favorite titles by system:
Nes: Final Fantasy
Snes: Final Fantasy II or IV depending on when you discovered it.
Sega Genesis: Phantasy Star IV
Sega CD: Lunar- The Silver Star Story

I also do a LOT of tabletop gaming, even LARPING. I am a total nerd.

Anyways, I do have a few questions about how to use the site. Should I post them here, or is there a more appropriate forum for that?

Don't say that you wont be posting often until you give it a try, you can make a lot of new friends and have a ton of fun by posting often, even if its just a post or two per day.


What's larping? I heard of it but never understood what it was all about.

Have any questions about the site?

LARP is shorthand for Live Action Role Play. There are a lot of different types of LARPS, And I participate in several. 

Combat Larp: Dress up in real armor and use padded weapons to fight opponents on a different team or to reach a specific goal such as capturing a base. Think of this like paintball but with fake swords and axes instead of a paintball gun. Many also have spell systems and ways to recognize accomplishments with nobility titles. www.Amtgard.com is just one example.

Mixed Role Play / Combat Larp: Often has actual role play and a combat system. Come dressed up as your own persona and deal with situations like the evil princess who kidnapped the innocent dragon, will you slay the princess or help her fight off would be heroes in exchange for money and power? You make the choices. www.Larpcraft.com is just one example.

Pure Roleplay Larp: Unlike the other 2, where your ability to kill someone is determined by speed and skill, this one is determined by stats. Genre's are as varied as your tastes. www.OWBN.org is one example.

As far as not posting often, you guys are already turning me into a liar. But I generally don't utilize forums much.

Oh, my site questions! How do I set an avatar on the left? I couldn't find anything that would let me change it in my profile or control panel, but can be pretty oblivious at times.

All right. Larping sounds... Decent.

To add an avatar you just need to go to the edit profile tab which is in the top left corner of the site.

I went there and could not find anything regarding my avatar. Might be a feature for people who have established that they are not bots on the site or something. I might be missing it though.

HM, maybe it is for regular members or something then, its been a while since I was one of them so I guess I might have forgotten. It should say User Pix under the appearance tab which is right under the password place in the edit profile.

I don't have a user picture tab there, so it must be an advanced feature. No worries though. I can wait.

Poobahkryos : All eight, but can you make take a screenshot of what you are seeing?

Not sure if its for members or trusted members then, if its for members then you just need to make a few more posts and wait a couple days to reach it.

Can't paste the shot I guess.
