Favourite retro consoles?
« on: December 06, 2006, 11:40:44 AM »
So, what're your favourite retro consoles?
Favourite retro games?
Retro consoles you owned/own?
I had a Sega Megadrive, but I sold it.
I have a Sega Gamegear at the minute, I absolutely love it, some of the games are awesome.
Sonic Chaos, Sonic & Tails, Sonic Triple Trouble, Sonic Drift, Sonic, Sonic 2, Alien 3 ... I'm a big Sonic fan.
I alos have an old Atari system (computer rather than console), but it's missing a monitor  :(
Oh yes, finally I did have a Gameboy COlor, but I sold that too because I didn't have any decent games for it.
Anyway, happy voting!

PS if I've missed any consoles you think should be on there or there's anything I need to clarify, please let me know.
Thanks.

NES has to be one of the best ones out there (voted other). Snes isnt bad on that note. I think Mario > Sonic and always will.. mario 64 beats any of those modern sonic games that go so fast you cant keep up but at the same time are so challenging that my 3 year old nephew has completed most of it : /
Also alot of the games on the NES were actually challenging.. i found with megadrive and ps1 etc. all the games you could complete with relative ease within a day.

OMG how did I forget about NES and SNES?
I'll add them right now!
They really were good, and they're pretty valuable nowadays.

OK, few things.
I know about the list, it's available on Wikipedia.
I just put the most memorable ones/ones I could recall offhand/ones people may have had.
Many of those consoles, for good or ill,have faded inti the backdrop of history.
And the poicture, I've seen it before -  nice one.
Don't you just wish that was your living room?
And yes, Sonic Chaos was awesome . . . but the running on the spot was ever so slightly pointless . . .

            I would have to say the Nintendo 64.  Mainly because of the Zelda games for it, Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask Classics in my opinion

            Computers are the future, not us. Learn everything you can about them while you still can, soon they will be learning about us... Every bit of advice that I give you is best guess, it is your choice whether or not you listen to it.
