[fluxanimator]

Can't wait for this one. Anyone else a game addict? I wonder if I'll be able to pic my Magnum RT?

Pretty cool. :)

I have a PS2. Still getting INTO it. I use it more for a DVD player of late though.

Unfortunately my addiction has caused me to purchase almost every console system that has come out since the old NES. My Magnum helps to offset my dork-ness :wink:

So does that mean you might have actually bought an Atari Jaguar? Or was I the only one who bought that system?

Personally I collect firearms to offset my dork-ness. :)

[fluxanimator]

Yup, I have that one and the cd attachment. Remember Trevor McFur? I also have the handheld Atari Lynx. The Jag was pretty worthless but had potential.

OK....you can't be more of a geek then me. I purchased the Sega CD attatchment to the Genisis, and I bought the 3DO. Both ended up being worthless junk after a year. Oh yeah..what game is that?

I've got those also. And the 32X attachment for the Genesis which was the most worthless of all. Trevor McFur was a horrible Jaguar game. It was a launch game and was so rushed that it didn't even have any music at all. I am super geek. :oops:

[Stalker]

I still have a Coleco Vision at my parents house, any takers?

I'll take it, I loved that system.

Yah Trevor McFur looked great but it pretty much sucked. How could you say worthless? It had 3 64 bit proceessors. If anyone would have written games to take advantage of it's full potential it would have ROCKED. I did like Alien Vs. Preditor. That was one of the best FPS of it's time. There were a couple of good games out for that system.

I actually bought the Jaguar for Primal Rage, but it never showed up until the CD came out and I didn't buy it. Oh well. I remember spending something like $300 for that system too. Now you can get an Xbox for $150.

When I said worthless but had potential I meant that it had the power just no good developers to make decent games. Aliens vs Predator was awesome though. It was probably the best game on the system. Remember Kasumi Ninja. Man that was a horrible fighting game on Jaguar.

I loved Kasumi Ninja.... "show no mercy!" (in that very stereotypical asian voice). Some of those moves were real bloody. Not a great fighting game in terms of skill, but great graphics and fun.

Let me chime in on this video game hijack.

I had a Sega Saturn..... anyone else?

I still prefer the text based games I had on my 1984 Commodore VIC-20 :)

[kentc1978]

Saturn here too...and that Dreamcast POS as well.

[fluxanimator]

I must say that Sega had some really excellent games on both Saturn and Dreamcast. For some reason I have an emotional attachment to both. Unlike the Sega CD.

Gahd - you guys and your new-fangled video games... Give me back my ol' Atari... :lol:

[DucatiBoy]

Give me back my ol' Atari... :lol:

I actually still have mine as well as a few others. People keep saying, I have one of those in the attic and I ask for it and usually people give them to me. I have shopping bags fill of cartrages.

Of course these days it's easier to run stella on the pc (or stellax on a hacked xbox) and I have all the roms FROM all the 100's of games for those loaded. Then you can play them on the xbox or pc. Now just need to figure out a way to hook a stock controller to the xbox. I think they have something to interface the atari joystick to a pc.

You are in luck. This was just announced the other day:

"Atari today announced the Atari Flashback Classic Game Console, a stand-alone, plug-and-play console with 20 built-in classic Atari games (including Saboteur, a game unreleased by Atari back in the day). The Atari Flashback is a hybrid of the Atari 2600 and 7800 consoles, and modeled to resemble the Atari 7800. Included with the console are two Atari 7800-style joysticks, a power supply and a cable to connect the unit to your television. The Atari Flashback goes on sale in November with a suggested retail price of $44.95. "

[DucatiBoy]

Those are cool, all the games in your joystick..... or you can get this for the PC or hacked xbox:

And LOAD roms on your device.

Or I guess Stella is not developed anymore but z26 is:

Alright... OT but geekiness abound. I currently have, somewhat in ORDER of purchase:

Coleco vision with steering wheel for Turbo and Atari cartridge attachment
Atari 2600XL
Atari Lynx
NES 8bit, over 100 games in my prime, rob the robot, pistol, and the "mega" controller
Turbographx 16 with CD
Sega Genesis with CD
Super NES
Sega Saturn (i loved that thing)
Nintendo 64
Gameboy Color
Gameboy Advance
Gameboy Advance SP
PS2

I'm not going to list my PCs :)
I had a gamecube for about 2 weeks and sold it. I am currently searching for a Sega Master system in good condition if there's anyone looking to sell theirs.

The ultimate 300 would have an entertainment center with a turbographx!!!!! Keith Courage !
