Who still plays their old gaming systems?
« on: February 13, 2010, 08:14:12 PM »
Anyone still play their old systems? NES, Gameboys, Nintendo 64 maybe? I found my old Gameboy Advanced SP when we were moving, and all the games still work and have the old saved data on them too! The one game I'm really hooked on now (which I loved when I first got) is "Megaman Battle Network 3 White". Even after you finish the game and beat the final boss there's a bunch of hidden bosses and stuff you have to find! So much fun!

Anyone still play Duck Hunt?  :D

I play my old N64 quite often with Goldeneye, The World is not Enough, Rogue Squadron, and Star Wars Pod-Racing being some of the most used games in my set.  Along with Star Fox, Pokemon Stadium and of course Star Fox.

Ever since I got my Wii, I've downloaded all my favorites on Virtual Console. That with combined with all my Playstation and Gamecube Atari collection titles has allowed me to pretty much retire all my old systems to tuppers in the basement.

Atari 400
Intellivision
Atari 2600
NES
SNES
N64
Gamecube

I only use my Wii and PS2 now.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

When I was in college (88-92), my friends and I dredged up an old Atari 2600.  We used to play Space Invaders on the absolute hardest setting as a drinking game.  Tons of fun, many laughs, and a few hangovers.

Lately, I stick to my gaming comp that Rich from TD built for me.

Goldeneye, Perfect Dark and 1080 still get some time on the old N64

You know, sometimes I wish I had kept an old computer.  There are quite a few old games that I used to love that simply won't run on newer machines.  At least, I've never been able to get them to run.

All out older Systems got spread throughout the family when people left, I didn't keep any unfortunately.  Loved Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Star Fox, Blast Corps and some others.  Since I am the computer person of the family I mostly have older PC games, still have my original copy of Red Alert (the first one from '95, ya before EA bought out WestWood). :)

LOL one of my crazy hobbys!
i'm one of those who still like to play games older then most of the "old gaming systems" ;)
Below you can see my Amusement Room, mostly playing MAME Arcade games, but also all kind of other old gaming systems,
Atari, PC Engine, Dreamcast and so on. (btw. i collect all the real hardware too)
I build an external Control Panel for authentic arcade game feeling ;) playing this on two Mitsubishi 37" CRT monitors,
1 vertical (for shmups) and 1 horizontal for standard games.

Here you can see Pics from 2006 when i was building the external CP.

Oh crap !!! Im a gamer  :confused:

I still keep my old PS2 around too. My PS3 doesn't play PS2 games, and I'm absolutely obsessed with the Ace Combat series! I've been able to play AC4, AC5, and AC0 and still have 5 and 0 (my brother sold AC4 to gamestop  :( Have to remember to buy another copy of that one), and I still go back and replay the missions over and over. I haven't been lucky enough to get the earlier AC games (and can't even find a place to buy them), or the newest AC6 since Xbox decided to keep it to itself  :furious :mad: :furious

I've bought the AC5 and 0 soundtracks and play them all the time while flying AHII, and my first choice for a handle on AHII was going to be Cipher  :D .

It's really neat when you go back and place your old games and think "I remember this game being really hard" and then you blow through the levels.

I have been working on splinter cell for about ten years on my PS. I get so far and realize I made a mistake 3 levels ago that wont let me get any further. I then have to go back and start again even more conservative of ammo and tools. the Ps2 will probably die before I finish.
No thank you Turkish, I'm sweet enough.
