Classic Consoles
« on: 11 Jan 2008, 00:54 »

so a little while ago, while i was doing Hair, an American girl sold me a NES with all accessories for like 50 bucks.

The only thing that is wrong with it is sometimes the spring latch in the cartridge slot sometimes doesn't catch.  everything else on the system is 100% functional and works sweet.

Games: Mario bros, Mario Bros 3, Mach Rider, Bart Vs The world

then, a few days ago, my freind gave me a Mega Drive (Genesis to you north americans) that he found on the side of the road

The reset button is the only thing that hasn't stood the test of time.  it runs fine

Games: Mortal Kombat, Sonic the Hedgehog, Megagames 6-in-1, NBA live 95, Ecco the Dolphin, Saturday Night Slammasters, Wrestlemania, Andretti Racing, PGA Tour and a Master System converter with Wonderbuy and Casino Games.

My NES broke when i was around... 8, I guess. I had gotten it second-hand from my cousin so it was pretty out of date at that point but I was still really upset. So, the oldest game console I still own at this point is my N64, but I haven't hooked it up in years.

My brother and I still have our SNES with Street Fighter II Turbo, Mario Bros: All Stars, Donkey Kong Country 3 and some odd space fighter game I can't recall. Haven't bothered playing it because the 360 is taking up a lot of my time. I still have my N64 and Playstation but again, 360 (and more specifically, Oblivion).

Hehe I have the original NES with orange blaster, game mat, too many games to count (just lazy), original Gameboy, SNES, Sega Genesis, Game Gear (does anyone still have those), and an Intellivision. I have others but those are the old school ones. Though I still have the first Playstation, still functioning.

Oh, I love these threads.

I got an NES when I was 4, but it eventually died and I got rid of it when I was nine. I bought a new one about three years ago at a garage sale and fixed it up.

I got a Game Boy when I was 7. It's still kickin' around because it is FUCKING AWESOME.

I got an SNES when I was 8. My nephew currently has it, while I bought a 2nd gen SNES at a garage sale and currently have.

I got a 1st gen Genesis and a Sega CD when I was 11, but stupidly let my parents sell it at a garage sale. I got a 3rd gen Genesis from my then-girlfriend for Valentine's Day a few years ago, still missing a Sega CD.

I got a Game Boy Color (Uh...Pikachu edition) when I was 13. It's still around here somewhere.

I got my Master System, Game Gear, 3DO, and TurboDuo from various garage sales over the last few years.

I got my Nomad from my friends for housesitting a couple of years ago.

Which basically covers "classic" consoles. My more modern stuffs (N64, PSX, Dreamcast, GCN, PS2, XBox, 360, Wii, GBA, GBA SP, GBA Micro, DS, DS Lite, PSP) I've just gotten when they came out or a couple years later and still have.

when my mom and dad got married, he had an NES, but he took it when they divorced (circa age 6) my grandparents got me an SNES for xmas that year to maybe make up for the fact that no kids my age lived anywhere near me.

flash forward to 6th grade, I got an n64 and smash bros for my birthday (i ended up selling this to gamestop and ended up with enough credit to buy an xbox and halo, shortly after it came out, the xbox is now broken)  I also had a gamegear for the long rides between my mom and dads house.

I got my original gameboy (the clear kind) from my neighbors who babysat me when my mom played volleyball, he works at bradley airport and someone left it there (with TMNT: Fall of the Foot Clan!)  still have that.

My dad moved a couple years ago and when i asked for the NES which was basically mine when i was over there, he told me he threw it away.  I was pissed. 

I got a ps2 in 8th grade, then my cat knocked it off my bureau and broke it, I got a new one with graduation money.  also bought a gamecube the summer of 05. 

bought a psp at launch with the understanding that crisis core was to be released shortly and that advent children was to be a psp exclusive, i own no games for it, and its only purpose has been to play mgs: portable ops.

i f'in love my DS lite.


tmi?

(and if anyone is selling their n64 or snes, i'll so buy it, especially if you live in western mass and i can pick it up)

Isn't this thread just public masturbation?

Anyway, I just have a PS2 and a Super Nintendo. I used to have a Nintendo; it stopped working (apparently? I was kinda young at the time), so we gave it away. I used to have a Sega Genesis and a Sega CD. Kinda funny, I never played anything else on that system except the Lunar games. I definitely missed out, uh? Anyway, I had problems with it (although in retrospect it was more likely due to the CD's being scratched up than the system being bad) so my mom sold it off. Also my sister had a Gamecube, but she moved out and took it with her.

Game Boy

Both of mine broke, first the original grey one and then the green one.  Funny thing is they survived being chucked across the room when my younger cousin got pissed off at me.

Lets see, Genesis, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, N64, Dreamcast, Playstation, Game Boy Advance, Gamecube, DS, Xbox, Wii, and Xbox 360.  Bolded ones are the ones that I still have.

I have owned an NES, Genesis, Sega CD, SNES, Game Boy, Dreamcast, Playstation, N64, PS2, XBox, Wii, PS3, and 360. All things considered the SNES is still my favorite, Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball and Super Tecmo Bowl were my favorite games, unfortunately my system stopped working a couple of years ago.

My parents never would let me get rid of anything, they would rather get a box and pack it in the attic for nostalgia and collectibles later on. As for video games its all my father's fault for getting me into them.

My parents are the same way; they're extremely reasonable about whether or not to throw undamaged things out. I think it's all due to my grandmother. From youngest to oldest, there's an age difference of 14 years between the oldest and youngest of my mother's siblings, so my grandmother has about a 30 year swath of destruction during which she threw out collectables owned by my aunts and uncles from the late 1940s to the early 1980s, before even counting the fit of rage in which she threw out a bunch of my grandfather's stuff. Baseball cards, a ridiculous number of classic albums, 3 large boxes worth of 1950s era Lionel trains and about 4 boxes worth of 1920s and 1930s era pulp comics owned by my grandfather. People remember well because in each case things were carefully packed away before going to college/war/whatever and then thrown the second the owner left. Truly scarring.

Anyhows, the only old gadget I still have (that works) is a Sega Game Gear.

I think it's all due to my grandmother.

Yea my father refuses to let collectibles of mine go due to his childhood belongings being forced lent to his younger cousins who up and moved and they split from the family so he never got to see his things again. And he had all the orginal G.I.Joes, that be a pretty penny, especially since he said if he still had them, they would be mine. Thou one of his cousins is looking for theirs to give to me since I asked him along time ago and he said yes.

Thou back to consoles, I get my fathers Intellivision and his massive collection of games for it. So I made out in a sweet deal since I actually maintain everything in working conditions.

I have an NES that I bought for about $50 two or so years ago. It came with all the accessories in the Action Set box, It functions perfectly, and I love it. I also own a broken SNES, and my cousin and I have come to the conclusion that somehow my cat managed to pee on the contacts inside of the system. I have a Sega Genesis hooked up to the mini TV Set in my room. I might have a Game Boy Pocket lying around the house somewhere.

I have a NES (needs a new game connector), N64 and two original (brick) Game Boys, in yellow and grey. The N64 gets a lot of use, I bring it to parties and we play Mario Kart/Smash Bros. drinking games. The Game Boys get a lot of use too, for chiptune work and Pokémon training.

I have a Genesis back at home with a few games, including Virtua Racing. Since that game's extra hardware is presently non-emulatable, if I want to play it I have to do it on the original hardware.


I'm considering trying to track down a Nomad or build one myself and maybe get a flashcart so that I can play on the go. The latter I would do in hopes of making a more power-efficient version of the system.

In a perfect world I would have the time and means to build it with some 32X components as well for compatibility for more games, what few there were.

And this would of course be combined with a flashcart so that I can take several games from my laptop to play in a slightly more convenient setting.

I've still got my SNES with more games than I'd care to list.

My game boy color still has four versions of pokemon and some other games that aren't important.

I don't really remember if my Atari 2600 works or not, but I've got that and about ten games.

I never owned an N64 or sega genesis, but I've got emulators of both on my computer and they are hell of awesome.

Also I've got my brother's old game.com sitting in my room (kudos to anybody who actually knows what this is).

These and, y'know, that old PS2 dealie.

Hmm....

NES - Contra, Mario all stars, Duck Hunt, Excitebike, Paper Boy, Zelda, and some other's in which I cannot recall
SNES - Too many
Sega Genesis - Golden Axe, Sonic I, and II, Contra Wars
Nintendo 64 - Goldeneye, Mario 64, and the original Turok.
PS1, PS2, 360, PSP, DS, etc.

Of the old systems I still have my SNES and the 64 hooked up. Goldeneye just rocks too hard to get rid of. Until Microsoft makes it available on XBOX live however.

Lets see, Gameboy #1, Gameboy #2, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, DS.  Heh, Man.
NES, Genesis, PS1, PS2, PSP, X360

I still have my PS2 and DS.  I've always believed that gaming is a great hobby, but ebay is a great hobby too.
X360- It was fun, sorta, but I got it cheap and I really never got into it for fear of having to pay for the privelidge to pay online or imminent RROD.

Holy fuck we used to have a Paper Boy handheld. One of my most favorite games. I need to find that! It is probably in this house somewhere. I hope so, anyway.

My brother's N64 is still fully functional and so is the SNES. I don't know where our NES is! The last time I played it was probably like ten years ago.
Lately I have been bringing the N64 to people's houses so we can play Banjo Kazooie and other stuff because a lot of my friends don't have older siblings and thus did not ever own N64s.

On the SNES I usually just play Mario 3 on Super Mario All-Stars (which is not even originally our game, we used it in a Game Genie at a friend's house in LA and accidentally kept it and sometimes when I think about this I feel bad because that is too good of a game to lose!).

y halo thar


Clearly I should have made a bigger point about this complaint sooner. This emulator has SVP support and only came out a couple days ago...Though the emulator is only really any good for playing this game as it has a distinct lack of features. It also doesn't appear 100% accurate, but ya gotta start somewhere.

Used to have a Game Gear, I miss it.  Playing Sonic The Hedgehog through Sonic Adventure DX isn't the same.
I don't have my Mega Drive either but I have all my games for it plus more thanks to the Sonic Collections and Virtual Console.
Game Boy Color, Game Boy Camera & Printer and some games.
N64 with about 20 games.  Shadows of the Empire is still a fun game, especially with the crazy debug mode cheat.
The crappy original GBA with some games.
A GameCube with the Game Boy adapter and 15 games.
PS2 with around 40 games.  I have plenty of games still to play on my PS2 that are just sitting in the cabinet: FFXII, ICO, SOTC, POP 2 & 3, DMC 3, GOW and a few others.

In a few months it'll be 11 years since I got my N64 and Super Mario 64, I was still a month away from BEING 11 years old at the time.  God that makes me feel old, where has the time gone.

Well, I suppose portability is part of it, but honestly the emulator for those games, at least on the PC version isn't very good. I'd recommend eSMS or Fusion and maybe try to get the ROMs somewhere.

I played F-Zero for forty-five minutes today! It was fun! But I'd rather have my fucking Super Mario Kart. rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I've got a NES at my parents house, still works fine, although I only have a couple games left these days. I have Super Mario 1 and 2, some TMNT game, a Castlevania game, bubble bobble, and maybe 1 other. My brother has a N64 that he got at a garage sale with only 1 game, super smash brothers, and that's all he needs. Goddamn that game kicks ass.

I am replaying Earthbound right now! It is such a great game.

(I may not be doing it on an actual SNES though, if you know what I mean.)

My original NES is buried somewhere in my basement. I fired it up just for the heck of it once back in the late 90s and it still worked.

My SNES is also somewhere in this mess that I call I house. I even still have some of the box for the games I got for it.

I have 3 Dreamcasts; 2 Japanese and one American. Sadly, one of the Japanese ones is busted.

My old pea soup Gameboy is also around somewhere.

I'll occasionally dust off the old 8-bit for killing sometime on Pirates, Contra, Life Force, and Tecmo Super Bowl, or when a party dies down and people in all of their haze seek some satisfaction that only Dr. Mario can take care of.

I don't have my SNES or NES anymore. The N64 was never mine. My original Gameboy has bitten the dust somewhere in my basement, and that cutesy purple Gameboy Color was lying in a drawer the last time I saw it seven years ago. I have my GBA in a drawer next to my bed dresser with all of my GB GBC and GBA games. Those are safe. The DS is cuddling with my iPod in my pocket. Right now my room holds a decent sized tv and is setup around a PS2, GCN, and an XBox. The 360 is attached to a larger television that is close to the modem.
Console-wise, I could be doing better with the classics.
