Members Elric Posted December 20, 2012 Members Share Posted December 20, 2012 I dig retro gaming big time, but I'm all about emulators. Maintaining a bunch of old hardware is only really necessary if you're into it as a collector of physical objects. If you're just interested in the gaming side and want to save some dough, look @ emulators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Stevetemp Posted December 20, 2012 Members Share Posted December 20, 2012 Very cool!I think. I don't know what it is. I guess I am going to have to do my own research I'm more of an old school gamer...even though I suspect I'm getting BF3 for christmas. I still love Mechwarriors 2, Helicops...my Sega Genesis (Still works), and some/most of my numerous Playstation 1 games (I have the 2 console)I suppose Mrs Rotary dusts and not you?

Members TurboRotary13b Posted December 20, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 20, 2012 Emulators suck dick.. I'm glad that they are out there because they open up sooooo many games to people that would otherwise never be able to play them... There is nothing like running the games on the original hardware though. Plus these days you can use flash carts on most consoles to play any game you want.. I have the Mega Everdrive for the Sega Genesis and I have every single genesis game ever made on 1 cart. You can get the PCB only for about $150.. I made my own box and cart to put it in..http://krikzz.com/index.php?route=pr...&product_id=55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ovid9 Posted December 21, 2012 Members Share Posted December 21, 2012 Very cool man! I always wanted to play a physical neo geo, never had the chance. I love old consoles I stopped collecting stuff though as I have enough crap sitting around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Neo Geo is the absolute best of the best when it comes to retro consoles IMO. They are very expensive though. This one cost me $680. The games go anywhere from $30 to $30,000 a piece. Most of the classic arcade ones go for $500-$3000 a piece. You can pick a converter for about $500 that makes the arcade carts playable on the AES. The arcade carts are significantly less expensive.

I bought the FF3 cart for SNES back in college. That wasn't cheap. The video store in my hometown had Ogre Battle when I was a teen. Eventually they sold the cart for $15 or something. Now its highly sought after and the game kicks ass to boot!I'm still kicking 20 year old self for not snagging the Star Wars Arcade game the local chuck e cheese was selling for $400. It was the sit down version of the old vector graphics one. Granted, I had no where to keep it, but....it would've been awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had a lot more room because I would have a {censored} ton of pinball machines. I loves me some pinball. Originally Posted by zehn Nice man. Do you have the disk drive for the N64? No I don't have that.. If I ever see one I'll pick it up.. Next on my list is a TurboDuo or a Wondermega. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found one that was still in the box with everything. I pulled it apart (as I do with all of my old consoles) and cleaned it really well. It works beautifully!
