O/T - Retro games consoles

[jcdenton08]

After coming across an unboxed Mega Drive 2 with controller and leads for £2 at a carboot sale, and latterly watching the entire Angry Video Game Nerd library, I've developed an interest in retro games systems. In fact, in the past fortnight from carboot sales and ebay I've got absolutely loads.

Does anyone have any old/unwanted games or game systems (NES, SNES, Master System, Game Gear, 3DO, Jaguar etc etc) or accessories or games for any systems they'd consider selling? Will also consider untested/not working machines sold for parts!

As a side topic - what was your favourite game and system and why? It can be commodore 64, atari st, anything you like!

Amiga 500, Sensible soccer, championship Manager 93 and canon fodder kept my 12 year old self amused.

Sensible soccer was great. As was Kick Off 2. And Supercars.

Agree - but Sensible World of Soccer 96-97 is the true classic in the series - apparently you can get it on XBox Live Arcade - bit too modern for me though!

I have a decent Game Boy collection if you're interested in any of it. For some reason as a child I wasn't satisfied until I had the latest model, so I have the original, miniature, colour and advance versions of it. Also camera and printer accessories to go with it, which in retrospect is quite bizarre.

PM sent!

Does the Dreamcast count as a "retro" console yet?

It was released TWELVE years ago

Absolutely! Are you selling?

 

[Colossal Squid]

Yeah I have a few of them knocking about if you'd like one.

Beauty part is that if you can find the right websites (nudge nudge wink wink) you can download the games and burn them onto ordinary cd roms!

Sensible world of soccer, super sprint, Decathlon, Super bomberman and Micro Machines kept my mates and I busy

Nintendo 64. Had one but it broke I think, don't have it anymore but it was my first console and loved it. Is it retro?

I've already got a machine, gun and two controllers and a dozen games. Mainly after games and accessories if you have any? :guitar:

If anyone has a sega saturn with duke nukem and managed to unlock the bonus multiplayer game DEATH TANK ZWEI dig it out and play it now, it was f***ing immense especially drunk with a load of mates.

There's a website about it here with a link to the theme song!;

I've got a couple of guns but I wanna keep them for House of the Dead 2 really.

Did have a couple of arcade sticks too but then I saw how rare they were and made almost a ton selling them on ebay!

I'm afraid I sold most of my boxed games too, except for both Shenmues, House of the Dead 2, Crazy Taxis 1 & 2, Eighteen Wheeler, Sega Extreme Sports and Sonic Adventure which I'm holding on to for posterity. In fact both the Shenmue games seem to be worth more now than they were when they came out.

Your best bet is to set up alerts on ebay every time something new gets listed that you're after.

I need to dig out my Saturn too, for some Knights into Dreams action complete with 3d controller!

Agreed that was great fun

 

[jcdenton08]

Shameless bump!

I loved my Amiga 500 with New Zealand Story, FA18 Interceptor, Sensible Soccerand Jaguar XJ200.

I probably had the most fun playing Golden Axe on a master sytem? with friends.

My favourite game though has to be Revenge of the Mutant Camels, a camel and a sheep shooting lasers, Jeff Minter was some kind of crazy genius.

Atari - Battlezone

 

[Mellotron]

Theme Park
Theme Hospital
Dungeon Keeper
Champ Mans
Mazza Kart
Deus Ex

Going back further:

Alex the Kidd
StarFox
Sensible Soccer
Out Run
Cool Spot
Desert Strike

Anyone remember the frankly INSANE Blam! Machinehead? What an odd atmosphere that game had.
