Games consoles
I still have a snes, n64 and gamecube in the house. Despite owning an xbox 360, playstation 3 and a wii, when ever mates come round we get out the old consoles, usualy for some mario tennis on the n64, a game which very nearly caused a phyical fight more then once.

As my mates get older and we slowly drift off to marrage and mortgages, it's nice that we can still go back to our childhood and still get the same sense of excitment we felt when it was brand new.

Mario Tennis and Mario Golf on the N64 were incredibly good.

My eleven year old agrees..
his console of choice...not the PS3 hooked up to 50 inches of Pioneer, or the Wii attached to 43 inches of slighlty older Pioneer oh no he grabs the dusty Gamecube hanging out of the front of a 21inch Sony CRT...you have to admire that really. I must admit I do hanker after a Megadrive and staying up all night to play Fifa with three of my mates until our thumbs start bleeding.

I've still got all my consoles
But I mostly just use emulators now.

Though I do still use my Atari Lynx and my GP2X.

A Lynx
you jammy shit.
( number5 has been fighting tramps and losing., Thu 4 Nov 2010, 16:15, closed)

I don't like to brag
Lynx with 6 games and official carry case. I know, hark at me.

Best thing about the Lynx is you can press a button and the screen goes upside down for leftys.

Do you have any mates who...
..you can connect up to play multiplayer games? I once saw three of them daisy chained to play something, can't remember what ...wasn't blue lightning or whatever the Top Gun clone was called but something else....aaaarrrgh damn memory fails me.

Steel Talons?

Possibly...
I could never afford that sort of thing when I was a kid but I had a mate who had one and I was a bit of an Atari nut as my mum was an early adopter (had an 800 and then a 1040STe with all the peripherals).

I feel like going on ebay now but I imagine I would get stung badly.

EDIT: I was right, muchos dineros (some cracking examples in the States though)...but searching through all of the old ST games got my brain fizzing!!!

The Gamecube...
..is one o fthe best multiplayer consoles ever. It's all about Timesplitters 2 and warioware!

At uni, I was the only one with a gamecube not a ps2, when I initialy showed my flat mates mario party, they asked me, in full seriousness if I was gay. The lack of blood or cars or football was new to thembut sure enough, they grew to love it. We had some epic games that almost ended friendships. I was constantly hounded for a game of it, we loved it dearly.

I play Speedball 2 on my Mega Drive most days
...in our break room at work. I cleaned out the joypad the other day and realised that it was probably 20+ years old. I still can't beat it every time though, best game *ever*.

(Probably it wouldn't hold my attention half as well if I had it at home, i.e. if it wasn't a great skive from work!)
