Okay, im a massive fan of video games and an even bigger fan of the old school late 80's/early 90's consoles. Anybody else a fan? If so, what were your favourite consoles and games?

NES
SNES
Sega Mega Drive
Sega Master System
Atari
Commodore 64
Atari Jaguar
Sega Genesis
N64
PS1

Those are the retro consoles I own

I love SNES, NES, Sega, N64.

I wish I still had all of them. I think I may have my purple N64 somewhere, and I have a Sega but there's a cord missing.

Fuck, I forgot about this thread

There is a lack of console love on this forum

Everyone pick up a SNES from eBay or something and get Super Ghouls and Ghosts!

i downloaded a few emulators to play the old games on pc, the framerate is a little twitchy lol I had a Commodore 16 plus. I used to love this weird French "card" game, I don't remember the name, it was about driving. i used to play it for hours!

The card game you're thinking of is Miles Bourne. That game kicked ass.

I used to have an Atari 2600, Commodore64/128, NES and then I went straight to PC and didn't own another console until we bought my son an N64 and then the dreaded Wii.

I have emulators on my PC for the 2600, C64 and NES so I can play the old games and feel young again. There is a company you guys might want to check out...

They refit old controllers with USB interfaces so you can use them with your PC and an emulator. Playing NES games on a PC with an NES controller kicks ass.
