Retro Gaming Thread

Saved a bundle and got some great gaming out of it. The system and games still work today, as I played em like a month ago. I mean Blitz, the original 2K, and WWE Royal Rumble are great fun especially at the price

You can do it with more then just Dreamcast games to. You can burn PS1 games and Emulators for most systems out around that time.

I always liked NBA Jam TE better than the first one. It just seemed to flow better.

Saturday Night Slam Masters anyone? That game was fun two players.

I meant burn them and play them in the Dreamcast itself, without an emulator. I just rented the games, copied them, and played the copies in the system. That is why I love it. I know all about emulators

I got what you meant, im saying you can burn an emulator to a cd and play it in the dreamcast as well as ps1 games.

Dreamcast I had stopped working a few years back, had a bunch of shit burned onto CDs for it.

NBA 95 is still to date the only basketball game I ever owned. :

Used to love giving the ball to Rodman deliberately and scoring 80 points with him. Just because I liked Rodman.

Buy 2K12, you'd like it.

I seriously thought about it. I enjoy sports games more than anything, but I mainly play Madden, NHL, and FIFA.

The franchise/owner modes pull me in.

The Official Retro Gaming Topic!

For all us old farts who do not give a crap about the new generation of consoles!

Personally I grew up with the Mega Drive/Genesis, the Game Boy, and then later the Playstation and N64, so those will always be my favourite consoles. I barely played anything past 2002 (outside of the FIFAs and the Championship/Football Manager series), as I find that games have let graphics and flash take over creativity and fun. The only "modern" games I will willingly play are either remakes (Outrun 2006) or retro throwbacks (Shank).

I even unironically bought an SNES at a car boot sale, which I later resold to my friend. My housemate made fun of me saying I'd got ripped off and could have bought a PS2 for the same price (£10). I just smiled and thought of profits... I also bought a PS1 in December of 2010, but it is currently stranded in Belfast because of a problem with the post office when I moved and tried to ship it. I lost about £150 worth of stuff. I'm only waiting to have a day off or something so I can go over there and hopefully recover it.

My favourite games are the old Marios, the first two or three Sonics, Mario Kart 64, the old FIFAs (pre-2002), the racing classic Grand Prix Circuit, The Lion King for the Genesis, Donkey Kong Land/Country, plus a load of old platformers nobody probably heard of.

I wouldn't give away my C-64 for anything in the whole world!

Already had a Retro thread so I just merged the two.

Speaking of which my old SNES finally crapped out on me, pretty amazing since I've had it since 1993. Still have the Dreamcast up and running though along with the Virtural Console on Wii.

My grandmother still has my nintendo that I got brand new on the release date.

I sold my Gameboy on, but as I said I own(ed?) a PS1, and also bought and resold an N64 and an SNES.

But my first-ever console (which I loved the hell out of) was a pirated Atari 2600. There were 2600 (duh) games built in, and it didn't have a cartridge slot. Other than that, it was an Atari. I played it so much the joysticks broke I was gutted.
