old school gaming

[Timmy Houlihan]

About 2 months ago my xbox got red ring of death so i went back to the trusty old ps2 for my gaming. I've been loving it. I still haven't sent my xbox away for repair (the warranty lasts to April 2012) because of the mad time i have been having with ps2.

Is anyone else like this, not playing the most current consoles but back in the last generation of consoles? I've been having a ridiculous amount of fun playing Burnout revenge (set a new road rage record:66) and just finished Max Payne.

I've been favouring my Game Boy Micro over my DS and PSP recently. A bit of Pokemon Ruby and Sonic Advance.

I think i had one of the first Sega Master Systems in Oz. My nanna won it along with other stuff on Wheel Of Fortune. It came with one game, Transbot. It wasn't a cartridge, it was like a credit card thing that slotted into the front. We couldn't even find anywhere to buy games for it.

Jesus christ Alex Kidd was 1986?

I was born that year and it was the first game I played. Probably didn't play it until 92 or so.

Just had my shed built the other week, and as soon as the power etc is hooked up i'm moving in an old laz-e-boy and a cabinet containing my old ps2, ps1, saturn and mega drive. It will be a retro fest.

Will be busting out some epic NBA jam sessions

Ahhh the pause button on the console itself. Brilliant Edging towards the console to pause it while playing at the same time was a fine art. It got even harder when the machine got older and older and it would switch off the second it was touched

Both games were gold.

Its time for a gibberish question!
