Did anyone own this console ? I picked up 3 *new* games for this today for ?15. wetrix, mario cart ( ), and f-zero-x.

Classic games.. does anyone have any old consoles they still play on ?

I've got a playstation (counts as old now, right?), a megadrive (genesis), and a master system 2. The master system 2 doesn't have a card slot, but I got an adapter to play master system games on the megadrive.. it looks like this when plugged in:



Classic.

I don't play on the consoles though - I normally turn to emulators for my retro gaming fix. This works out better than you might expect, as I got a playstation pad > USB converter that works well with emulators, and graphics for playstation games are better on the emulators than they are on the playstation.

N64 emulators seem to be pretty lame though. I was considering getting an N64 just for f-zero because it is so dam cool, but then I realised I wouldn't actually use it.

I have:

NES
SNES
Nintendo 64
Dreamcast
Playstation 2
Gamecube

I still play all of them. I'm soon to be an owner of the NES themed Gameboy SP (put off buying a gameboy since they came out, my luck that the nostalgia version comes out when I've got money )

I went through an emulation phase where I got a load of games I used to play as a young lad. Sonic, street fighter, road rash and the like. I still remember getting my first sega on my birthday and thinking it was the best thing ever.

F-Zero X is one of my all-time favorites. You should see the Gamecube version. [addsig]

I was a big fan of the original F-Zero for Super Nintendo. Nothing like racing thru fire field with your last car and its about to explode...

Damn that was so cool, I did exactly the same. You completly dont get the atmosphere of 4 zitty teenagers huddeling around a small tv, squiting at their part of the split screen, and giving each other dead arms, when you blew them to shreds with proximity mines

Zelda 64 - oot. That stands today to be the best game I have ever playied.

Its not mine, but there is an N64 in my flat, and other for old school consoles we have a playstation (since the N64 seems to count), 2 Megadrives (my flatmate is "upgrading" one over summer), and once another flatmate brings them up, a SNES and a NES. None of those consoles get much play though, when we first got them up it was cool for some nostalgia, but I feel newer games and consoles have the edge.

How old are you guys then ? *aherm*. I'll still be playing games as I get older. I proberbly play old games more than new games now I come to think of it. Opposing Force has some fantastic playability.. and as for red alert... jeeze. Did anyone ever play that ? The amount of units you could build was only limited by you're processor, and the amount of time you had. A lot of games, especailly c+c generals, miss out that factor. More games are being made for money, where a lot started off as being made for fun.

/ 2 cents.

I'm 19, turning 20 next month. I've been gaming since the Commodore 64, through an Amiga 500+, to a playstation and other more recent consoles. To me, playing some games of Burnout 2, or a few team battles with a mate on Soul Calibur 2, is far more enjoyable than a bout of Road Rash. I probably enjoyed Road Rash more when it was newly out, but playing it now it really pales in comparison to modern equivelants (NOT modern Road Rash games however ).
