Saint_clark Posted 22 March, 2009 Posted 22 March, 2009 Gameboy NES Megadrive SNES N64 PS1 PS2 PS3 Gameboy Advance Megadrive and PS1 have produced the greatest games.
Thedelldays Posted 22 March, 2009 Author Posted 22 March, 2009 notable games I remember fondly Dizzy - treasure island, fantasy land Kick Off 2 Shinobi Turtles Ghostbusters (on the C64) - legendary game would love to have it on my laptop frontier resident evil 1 championship manager I loved the C64 in that you could go to a newsagents and buy a game for a couple of quid
Saint_clark Posted 22 March, 2009 Posted 22 March, 2009 Shinobi is an unlockable game on that megadrive collection thingy for PS3, but I haven't got a clue how to unlock it. Gutted.

Baj Posted 22 March, 2009 Posted 22 March, 2009 Wish we had a backup from a couple of years ago when we had this thread before, as I can't be arsed to type them all out, reading as it does as a list of how big your gamer penis is..
gaz Posted 22 March, 2009 Posted 22 March, 2009 Atari 65XE Binatone thingy (dial with pong/hockey/footy clones) Phillips GT9000 MegaDrive (x2 or 3) Gameboy Gameboy Colour Gameboy Advance Saturn N64 Dreamcast PS1 PS2 PSP Xbox Xbox 360 PC
Johnny Shearer Posted 22 March, 2009 Posted 22 March, 2009 Pong Telly Game thingy. Atari XE - I/my parents didn't know any better as when the currys guy sold it to us. Did have a flight simulator though, which as an 8 year old didn't know how to play properly! NES Megadrive SNES Saturn GBA Gamecube DS PS2 PC Wii Xbox 360

gaz Posted 22 March, 2009 Posted 22 March, 2009 Indeed lol. The games I remember most from the 65XE were Zybex (sidescrolling flying jetpack guy, like R-Type I guess), and Ghostbusters, that was class. And a text adventure that the name excapes me at the moment (I remember basic graphics and a load of stripey walls in most of the rooms you walked into).
Robsk II Posted 22 March, 2009 Posted 22 March, 2009 My list is a bit short as I've generally grown up on a PC diet. So.. BBC micro, then PC, then a shared PS2, now a shared XBOX360. That's all.
Saint_Jonny Posted 22 March, 2009 Posted 22 March, 2009 Here comes my nerd list! NES Super NES Master System MegaDrive (late) PS1 N64 (late) DreamCast (best ratio of CLASSIC games to PAP of any console EVER!!! GameCube PS2 Xbox Now, Xbox 360, gotten over having to own every machine going and sticking to just the one lol... oh hang on..handhelds :S First gameboy for my 7th bday from my dad (the massive grey one with a copy of tetris and a game called KUNG FU!!) Next was a gameboy advance much later Got a sega gamegear off ebay just because I wanted one (why didnt these take off? SOOOO much better than the gameboys of the time) GBA SP Got a ds but gave that to my sis Oh bought a Wii but thats in the living room now.. super mario galaxy is the only good game on it. ****ing Gimmick. After all that, I still think pc gaming is the best. Havnt got a decent PC to play on atm tho.

thesaint sfc Posted 23 March, 2009 Posted 23 March, 2009 What was that thing pre-gameboy? I must have had my brothers one when I was about 7-8 and he'd had it for years before that. Probably around 1994. To memory I've had Megadrive PS2 Gameboy Nintendo 64 Xbox 360 PC

Barfy Posted 23 March, 2009 Posted 23 March, 2009 Orange binatone thing ZX Spectrum 16k (which my granddad got olivetti to boost to 64k ) ZX Spectrum 128k+2 Olivetti pc (can't remember make or model though). SNES ex-NHS 386 pc (would only just about run the original version of championship manager) Custom built p3 pc PS2 custom built AMD 3.2GHz pc PS3 Customised AMD phenom based pc. I'm all for sentimentality, and all of the above were great at the time, but without a shadow of a doubt my favourites are my current pc and the ps3.

St Marco Posted 23 March, 2009 Posted 23 March, 2009 Atari 2600 Nes Megadrive Amiga 500 Super Nintendo Playstation Playstation 2 Dreamcast Wii Playstation 3 360 PC custom built Intel Core 2 Quad 6600 4x 2.4ghz, 2x 880GT sli. Looking back over the years i think the best gaming times were the Nes,Megadrive and Amiga. The golden age for gaming if you will. Lots of Nostalga because thats when i was a kid! But i think PS2 re-ignited my interest in gaming, the GTA series a lone did that! Now days i don't think there are enough good games out. Too many angles that have been done to death and don't really bring anything new to the table. Personally i don't really give a monkies about the features on a modern console, don't care about Blu-Ray, don't care about watching films streamed on the 360, don't care about Mii's. I just play games and while we have some good ones were already nearing the next generation of consoles and as of yet im not as fond as the three new ones as i was of the old PS2 and the ones before that. But it is GDC this week so should hear some new games being announced. Like Max Payne 3

You are the first person I've ever met to also have had a Plus 4!
Colinjb Posted 23 March, 2009 Posted 23 March, 2009 Oh the memories this brings. I have had: Game Boy Mega Drive (And later a 32x add on) Playstation PC (Purely for CM/FM) Xbox 360 Not many, but so many class games.
Minty Posted 23 March, 2009 Posted 23 March, 2009 You are the first person I've ever met to also have had a Plus 4! Technically superior to the 64 but never taken advantage of and so died a death.
Thedelldays Posted 23 March, 2009 Author Posted 23 March, 2009 i think the amiga produced the largest quanity of great games it came from the desert wings speedball 2 space ace championship manager another world moneky island kick off 2 simpsons captain planet north and south some real classics
St Marco Posted 23 March, 2009 Posted 23 March, 2009 If you ever want to play some of those old classic Nes games you can here http://www.nescafeweb.com/ It does them in flash so no need to download anything, just like playing the arcade games on this site. Playing Bayou Billy bought back some memories!

Ponty Posted 25 March, 2009 Posted 25 March, 2009 I've had loads - back to a ZX80 and ZX81 (with 16k RAM pack) but I never understand the nostalgia thing. I can't think of one console where the old version is better than the latest version (I exclude the PS2/PS3 argument as both games are still current). Things like the Master System were great in the early 90s but I'd rather be playing Far Cry 3 on the Xbox than Alex Kidd 2 any day.

badgerx16 Posted 25 March, 2009 Posted 25 March, 2009 My first 'PC' was a Toshiba HX-10 with the MSX operating system, on which I enjoyed creating my own games. This was followed by a 'permanently borrowed' AMSTRAD 386 from work, which got me hooked on Premier Manager, something I have managed to ensure my sons have inherited, ( though of course it is now Football Manager that runs the risk of bing cited in any future divorce ).
Ponty Posted 25 March, 2009 Posted 25 March, 2009 2, dammit, 2. I was going to put Fallout 3 but remembered I'd got bored of that and packed it in.
Danny Posted 25 March, 2009 Posted 25 March, 2009 Technically superior to the 64 but never taken advantage of and so died a death. I loved mine. I had some great games on it, which I could get from the Post Office in Bitterne Park for about £3!

Currently in the house (please don't rob me) is PS1, PS2, PS3, Xbox, Xbox 360, Wii, 2 DS's and a PSP.

Baj Posted 29 March, 2009 Posted 29 March, 2009 Literally every penny I earned or was given from the age of about 5 went on video games. As soon as I was bored of one system, i would sell it and use the money towards the next.
