starlybruiser Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 Hey, any retro gamers out there? super nintendo? etc.....anyone have one lying around?ive got a NES, ive had it for years, play on it quite allot, super mario bros 2 is my fav game of all times
Asad Posted December 25, 2008 Author Posted December 25, 2008 I decided to re-visit my childhood n get another one.....
addz Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 I don't know much about it but you can get emulators for pc's.Play them classic games on windows which is pretty cool.
BenV Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 as said above fella the emulators are a good choice, you should be able to get all the classic consoles onto your pci had to buy a master system a while back just so i could play the built in alex the kid
Asad Posted December 25, 2008 Author Posted December 25, 2008 Emulators are ok but its not the real thing, cartridges..........
Bluebear Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 Got a Gameboy Classic here (the brick), with Alleyway, Tetris, Wario, etcI want to find a Dreamcast, had one ages ago, sold it, but now I just want to play Sonic Adventure again
Asad Posted December 25, 2008 Author Posted December 25, 2008 cheap as chips...........^^ quite alot come with 2+ controllers and alot of games (imo its not retro enough to be had )http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sega-Dream-Cast_W0QQ...%3A1|240%3A1318
Sparky Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 We was sat in my mates yesterday actually and we was waiting for an update for Burnout Paradise on PS3 (takes fucking ages shitty PS )There was a megadrive there with a few classic games but it wont work on his HD TV while we was waiting
Bluebear Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 I'm miffed off that Fallout 1 and 2 no longer work on my PC. Damn Vista. I need to find a copy of XP so I can play them
Asad Posted December 25, 2008 Author Posted December 25, 2008 Jay knows how its done....gonna gets me a super nintendo when the student "bonus" rolls in, in jan (+ the games cost literally next to nothing= win)EDIT: i`ve just played street fighter......the controls r shite on pc even after you changes them it messes up, you have to have 4 hands to play a game
ep91face Posted December 26, 2008 Posted December 26, 2008 Dreamcast all the way, some say its not retro but it makes the cut in my opinion cause it died before its time, it pionered high level graphics , internet browsing, online play(56k modem ftw), controllers wit the analogs positioned for aerogonomics(THINKS THATS THE WORD) ala the xbox and eh...3d sonics
Asad Posted December 26, 2008 Author Posted December 26, 2008 Never played one tbh bud ^^. Old skool FTW main reason i want one is the games are dirt cheap and a good laugh no expensive disks for X,Y or Z to scratch when you lend them or leave them lying around (new games cost around £45~ fook that right off) + the cartridges make for good throwing at little brother/sister objects and still survive...may wait till the summer when the markets start coming on.

The idea is genius, being able to play little minigames on a removable Gameboy-style memory card.
STEVO9000 Posted December 26, 2008 Posted December 26, 2008 I've still got my old Megadrive Got the old yellow brick Gameboy too somewhere
Glanza Al Posted December 26, 2008 Posted December 26, 2008 Sega Master System lying around here somewhere. Sonic = WIN.Al.
Wee_Watsi Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Still have:Sega Master System - Alex the Kidd and Sonic the Hedgehog ftw lolNES - Mario easily the best game I have for itSNES - Super Mario AllStarsSega Mega Drive - Golden Axe, Street's of Rage and World Cup Italia '90I would also consider the PS1 with its early games to be retro, e.g. Final Fantasy 7, the first Tomb Raider and the first GTA.I would never sell any of these as they are too much entertainment and too precious to sell for a stupid price like £15 on ebay....

BenV Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 tell me about it bud. all these years and ive still not completed it
Sparky Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 I find the old retro games are unfinishable!!New games today its all about completing them whereas the older ones are more about the fun you get from playing them
www.glanza.co.uk Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 You still can't beat the old C64 games, such as Paradroid, Uriduim and Sanxion. Very playable games, and whilst basic compared to their modern-day counterparts, I would be more than happy to load one up and get cracking...Hhmmm... I feel a bargain hunt on ebay coming on... ;)
