Who still plays their old gaming systems?

[Tec]

Fired up the PS1 for the first time in a couple years the other day, popped in Syphon Filter, played about 30 seconds and said "nope".  Tried my Intellivison a while back and it seems to have bought the farm.

I did 4 shattered skies, great game, but way to easy.

Yeah I play heroes of the pacific Dogfight now and then, But carying 50 bombs and 20 rockets seems to make it a bit crappy. Its also real easy after getting off the computer.

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  

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   .

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.

Heck I still have my PS1. And after, idk, something like 10 - 12 years the things still works.  
But i never use it. Now I'm addicted to the XBOX 360 and Modern Warefare 2  

I haven't played my PS2's in awhile. Gave em both to my younger siblings when i got the XBOX.

I play my PS2 on occasion.

I like playing Starwars Battlefront 1 and 2, so much fun when you play with some friends. Fighting a hoarde of droids and panicking when a Droideka turns up and we start yelling "ROLLY POLLIES".

But lately I have been doing something kids generally don't do anymore....... read.

I was a bit disturbed by this but when I get on AH2 and Rise of flight I just have tonnes of fun.

Do you remember G-Darius on the PS1? It was the first game I ever got for it, and it was awesome. Megaman Legends and Megaman X4 are close seconds though. I need to remember to buy a copy of Final Fantasy 7 to figure out the hype, and to get MMLegends 2.

N64-wise, I finally beat the Ocarina of Time last month. I'm still struggling to beat the tracks on Baroonda in Pod Racing, and just beat my high score in Pokemon Snap. Rogue Squadron is insanely hard. Kirby 64 is insanely fun still; the final boss fight against 0² is both fun and contains some of the best N64 music.

I know what you mean Latrobe, the Ace Combat series is awesome. Pacman, I must agree with you about how much fun Star Wars: Battlefront I & II are, though my BFI disk is scratched so badly that the background music is replaced with Wookie calls.

Syphon Filter was a great game back in the day. Playing it now though...kinda makes you see how far things have come and how we take it for granted, i imagine?

There's not really anything to take for granted IMO.  I'm not a big console gamer anymore. I dumped my xbox when the drive went out, now the newest thing I have is a PS1, but I will buy another console sooner or later, like if GT5 ever actually gets released.  I grew up on Intellivision and C64 and went through the whole progression.  Video games/computers are the one thing in this world that I know barring armageddon will continue to improve as time goes on.  For as long as I can remember I've been saying "think how great video games will be in 10 years" and they haven't disappointed.  My only real beef with modern games is they are quite frankly too damn easy.  There is no more "Game Over", now it's "You are dead, press X to respawn and keep going".  My buddy rented Uncharted 2 a while back.  It's honestly probably the best game I've ever played, good storyline, good gameplay, and absolutely stunning visually.  The only problem was we tore through it in no time and when I went back and looked at the stats I think it was something like 8 hours of game time it took us.  It left me wanting more, and there's no way in hell I would drop 60 bucks or whatever a console game costs these days on it.

Kind of off topic, but for those of you who are old school type gamers I recommend the movie The King of Kong: A Fistfull of Quarters.  It's a documentary and the people in it are out of this world, and it goes way back to the glory days of the arcade.

Was playing DOOM on PS1 a few weeks ago.  It is still fun.  Best game ever.

I remember back on the PS1 when resident evil came out. Simply awesome game, then came RE2. Not quite as good as the first, but not terrible. But, oh lord. They ruined it for me with RE3.

But, they hit it out of the park when the gamecube hit the market and they re-did the original resident evil. Best RE game ever. And RE4 was simply amazing, im such a resident evil nerd that after beating them several times I would do speed runs and knife only runs.

   I just bought the original Metal Gear Solid on the Playstation Network for 10 bucks.  Im obsessed with the series and i just wish they would have 2 and 3 on there since my PS2 quit on me about 5 years ago

Rolly Pollies? 

I remember playing those games with friends too. So much fun can happen on those games.

[Beefcake]

Still have the original "brick" Gameboy, Sega Genesis, Atari, N64, PS1, and Gamecube.

My friends and I still have Goldeneye parties every so often, we even setup a projector and played it in one of the theaters at work. Although the new games of today are decent, many lack what alot of old games have and that's a story.

[morfiend]

 Still have a functioning "pong" machine,tho it's been about 2 years since I set it up to see if it worked still.

  Also have a 2600 and controlers that work!
