Vintage/retro Gaming

[ASD]

I currently own a Wii and an Xbox360, great machines but i still often get my SNES out for some classic gaming. I have recently started collecting consoles, there is some real gems out there that are peanuts from car boot sales and fleabay. Some of the vintage stuff can command high prices so if you drop on something at a car boot, especially in original box, then pick it up. Anybody into this kind of thing?

I play my SNES like crazy, mostly because it's the only system my girl friend will play haha. I also play Sega Genius when I need some Sonic and Knuckles!

I might, its the super mario bros. 3 (I think) special edition, boxed, the only problem is someone has drawn on one of the manuals, comes with all the little leaflets you get as well lol, PM an offer

Whoa SNES and N64 are retro now? Where have I been? Ok if they are then what is ATARI? I mean the original ones. I still have mine and about 40 games that still work.

I think what makes a system retro is the fact that you can't still pick one up at a store (new).

I think it means over 7-10 years old, as well but I suppose true retro is pong lol

 

[madmom]

oh; thanks. Then what I have is just plain old.

 

[demonmagus]

pretty awesome though

My father has an Atari Pong cocktail table from the early 70's that still works. Now that's retro!
