God Micro Machines was great fun, also anyone remember Phantasy Star IV>, that was such a quality RPG.

 

I remember it was the last great rpg for the 16 bit era right before systems like Sega CD and N64 took off. I have Phantasy Star II III and IV for genesis and all are good quality.

I see Argos are doing the Megadrive with 60 games for €60, that is such a good deal.

Zool on the Amiga. Still miss that game. And Knight Tyme on the Amstrad. And Elite...

That does look cool. Especially because it plays the old cartridges too. Seems like a bargain to me?

Zool, Rainbow Islands, James Pond: Robocod, Monkey Island 1 & 2, Syndicate, Pinball Dreams, Cannon Fodder, soooo many good games on the Amiga. I've still got mine hooked up to the TV upstairs. :D

Still play Monkey Island 1&2 on Steam. Never the new version, old school all the way :)

[dsrchris 190]

I've got the new versions too, but I always end up switching back to the old graphics! :lol

I'll occasionally still bust out the SNES emulator, mainly just for Mario but I might play Micro Machines now that it's been mentioned.

 

I also intend to play through Pokemon Yellow when my pile of work subsides and I have some free time over the holidays.

[Guest ElbowDrop]

I could play NES and SNES all day long. Big fan of 2D platform games where you just run around and shoot bag guys like in Contra. Mindless fun. But, also love the more strategic franchises like Zelda.

[King 277]

Anyone still play any of the old DOS games for PC?

OK, there was more than I originally thought there was going to be.

 

I can remember having a Commodore 16 and then an Amstrad CPC464 (with colour monitor), as well as the obligatory Atari 2600, but the first time I really got into gaming and requested something was the Master System II (and I can still remember the joy of finally getting Snail Maze to load up) and I stuck with Sega by getting a Megadrive II and then a Sega Saturn on the first week of release.

 

The Saturn was, in my opinion, unfairly maligned as it had some great games, but due to hard-to-deal-with technology (according to the magazines of the time), it didn't have much in the way of support. When I bought the Saturn, I also had a PlayStation and an N64. I then moved on to the PS2 and the Gamecube, with the Dreamcast not even getting a look in.

If I had the space and cash I'd love to have a bunch of old consoles, as it is iOS is pretty good for some retro games like Monkey Island, Civilization, Baldur's Gate and GTA 3 and they usually cost at most £5.

[Guest Boyo]

Have just bought one of those Megadrives from Argos for £40. Haven't played it yet, maybe tomorrow.

 

Cheers!

[Guest Edgehead]

I might get one of those after christmas

Got this set up in my mans room. Some consoles/handhelds missing. Got addicted to collecting a while back.

Selling amiga and atari though, no room for em.

[King 277]

Very nice set up, just think though if you were to Jtag your Xbox you could run all those games on an emulator, but that's for another day :)

[Guest Horowitz]

I'm not too familiar with it, is it legal?

As in legal with microsoft/can you be blocked or anything?

I don't give a shit about the legality like.

[King 277]

Nope it's not legal and Micro$oft will block you if caught, have a look on Youtube to the pros and cons to it.

[Guest arnandtully]

ive got a modded original xbox with emulators for loads of systems. Megadrive was an awesome machine and Golden Axe will always be one of my favourite games, along with Streets of Rage 2. The Neo Geo emulator is also great, and the arcade emulator with WWF Superstars and Wrestlefest brings back great memories!
