Retro gaming

[projectarnold]

I'm a big retro fan. I play my SNES, Mega Drive, SMS and about as much as anything else. Anyone else into retro consoles?

 

[Ono]

I play Super Mario Kart on ZSNES emulation now and then. It allows you play 2 players on the net which is a laff.


To be honest, most of the classic 16-bit stuff is being *refreshed* on GBA these days and I play them on that.

 

[Yaka]

have to agree wit ono, all me old consoles are in the attic, roms on hardrive are easier to manage than chunky carts

Aye, I would play a lot more emulations of Snes games, but don't have a decent joypad (FPS and RPG PC Gamer - no need for em), and cba to buy one

I've just bought a bundle of 3 different megadrives and some games from Ebay. I also have a master system I got at a boot fair for about 2 quid a few weeks back. I'm trying to recapture a lost youth...... heh.

I remember my Master System 2 had Alex Kid built in, i fkin loved that game when it first came out, so playable and the scissors, paper, stone bosses were quality. Oh and the shops you could buy motorbikes and helicopters etc...




*sigh*

thanks to smash brothers melee, i've started playing the N64 again - heh not exactly retro gamin but playing ocarina and other games again is great.

TEH WINNAH!!!.....again!

I just went out and got a Sega Saturn + 1 Controller + 5 games (Sega rally, Manx tt, tunnel B1, Wipeout, worlwide soccer 97) for 25 quid.

I had a quick look on ebay before I snatched it up and it seems I got a reasonable deal here. I'm after another controller so I put a few bids in on Ebay.

Did you know SF2 Alpha3 sells for over 45 quid???

I've heard that the Saturn is the best for near arcade perfect replicas at home. Sounds good to me.

You could...

Grab yourself a chipped xbox and use mame - they just got a port working. Then you do get the arcade perfect rom.

Wow, didn't expect many people to be interested.

*dons purple suit and sticks a feather in his hat*

Well, anyone wanting to chat UK retro gaming (or any gaming for that matter) might wanna check out The Gaming Highlands, we are only a few days old and are looking for some Brits to bring our board to life. Sorry to be a pimp but I figured here was a good place to look for new members. Link is in my Sig.

Thank you
