Back to the gaming, i still have a Galaxy Invader 1000, does that count me in the gamers circle?

This is not mine by the way, a pic from google. Mine is tucked away safely in my wardrobe.

Yes, I agree. I only upgraded to XP once '98SE was no longer supported or compatible, and went to Win7 when I needed a 64bit OS. But the scene is different now. Have you noticed it's free? They want everybody on it. Then they won't justify the costs of supporting the older OS's, and that will be that

Yeah noticed its free. I'll jump on 10 when I buy my next computer. My existing computers will be fine on Win7 and 8.1. They'll be out of service by the time extended support ends.

I've still got my Galaxian 2 but not the box

I had one of those!

We got a lot of those Game and Watch LCD games - Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong 2, Zelda, Mario Brothers, Parachute...

I've still got my Atari 2600 with Combat and Space Invaders kicking around somewhere

 

[Changaneen]

Apparently i'm an addict now.........after all the shite you guys have had to put up with, from me, i'm not sure whose the addict here

 

[LukeSA]

I have the same one... <3

I also have these among others -

I remember having tabletop frogger from Konami, bought it from a second hand shop for 50 cents.

I also had a Sega game gear that my brother gave me, his mate went to Japan on holiday and got one over there but he didn't like it and gave it to my brother. Holy hell those things chewed AAA batteries like they were nothing.

Who remembers Simon?

This song burnt me up a few years ago. I have two daughters, 22 and 21. Both beautiful and mature. But a few years back when they were late teens, i was the dad with a shot gun. Mad as a cut snake.

Edge of seventeen.........made my skin crawl. Stevie Nicks sings it well. Most Dads will agree.

 

[Changaneen]

Me now.

Both my daughters had a life long mate. Sarah Girvin. She died in a car smash coming home from Adelaide with a puppy dog, just past Locheil on the Whyalla side. This is for you Sarah Girvin.

I have been revelling in the joys of emulation, i downloaded a PS2 emulator and fired up Gran Turismo 4 and realise that i still suck at it now as much as i did when it first released.

Emulating a PS2 is like playing music by 50 cent as 'retro'.

Bonecrusher passed away at 32 years of age today. Who could forget his classic win over our Waverley Star in 1986 Cox Plate and the great call by Bill Collins.

Seriously. Midday movie. WTF?

Man, I'm getting old.

Old as shit...
