after checking out the ps3 laptop link and lookin at his old retro conversions of consoles.

i was wondering how many of you still play with retro consoles ?

i regually play mario cart on the 64 !!! with my mates and a few beers ! koopa troopa beach and the shortcuts etc... by the way anyone played the new mario cart ?

PC Engine and Neo Geo all the way!

neo geo quality !!! have you actualy got any neo geos ! or just sayingthey are cool ? what you playing ?

At the moment I've got nothing. I just (yesterday) sold a PC Engine. I tend to have overly fond memories of both the Neo and the Engine, i'll buy one, then realise they're 20 years old and maybe not QUITE as good as I remembered!!! I've probably had at least 10 Neo Geos in my time, and even more PC Engines!

I think my next one will be a PS3 with Grand Theft Auto, although I think I may be getting too old for computer games!

Looks like there will be several neo geo games available on the PS3. Art of fighting was my fave. Which may be enough with that and blu ray to convince me to buy one.

mate i can convince you to buy one. they are fecking brilliant !! iwont go in to the whole ps3 vs 360 thing again... as that "console wars" thread annoyed a lot of 360 owners . but they are amazing with a HD tv !!!.

but then again mario cart on the 64 is allmost unbeatable !!! get one of those for about £15

I've got the 64 somewhere.That and the new 42" telly might be worth a go. 1080 snowboarding was my other favorite on the nintendo.

Never mind consoles. Last week we had to visit the outlaws. Years ago I gave the mother in law my old table top games in order for her to have something to do. Once again the house was ringing to the little ditty that Caveman plays whenever the dinosaur cooks the caveman who is trying to steal its eggs. Also heard the stereo (unbelievable levels of technology) of Firefox F7 sounds for the first time in twenty years!

Memories!

err what do you mean ?its the retro console thread !

I used to love playing Virtua racing on the mega drive, spent hours on the thing

the mega drive !! now....... road rash............ was one of my favs on that machine..........................

I was playing road rash the other week at a mates house on his pc, He uses a gens emulator and has over a thousand games for it. Another one was Echo the Dolphin.
