Hi all

Just wondering if anybody else shares the retro gaming hobby..

Tell me I'm not the only one! Lol :-)

Seriously, just looking to meet other like minded gamers/hobbyists/collectors :-)

Cheers

Nik

Could you be more specific? Talking about MUD's/rogue/text based or board games or SNES or what?

I play most.. Master system, nes, megadrive, snes, amiga, gamecube, playstation one and two, atari 2600, dreamcast, Speccy, amongst others... :-)

av got a xbox with a cd with every mega drive sness master system and game gear and any old console u could ever remember i love it mario 3

I just sold my snes but i love games from the NES Era onwards.

I started off with the emulators, then progressed to collecting the machines and games. I enjoy emulators, as it gives me a chance to try the games before I buy them :-)

Good to meet you, guys :-)

XBOX 360 - GAVE AWAY AS IT RROD me, ended up getting a ps3 in end

Pretty much had em all as a littlin grwing up, My uncle was big into gaming so i used to get all his hand me downs starting with the master system complete with SHO, Wonderboy, and space harrier

Like to muck about with Mame also but emulations tend to get on my wick a little bit, cracking for some of the old arcade game like the simpsons (getting rerleased on PS3,XBOx btw) and all the old game gear and snk games from the late 80's early 90's

I didn't realise how sad I was with gaming until I took the time to list the stuff accumulated over the years, no wonder my Mum keeps hassling me to go and clear all my crap out of the loft

Loving IPAD at the moment to be fair as there are a lot of decent games about and the graphics are decent.

Used to do a lot of PC gaming a few years back when i was a bench engineer started out with a standard Alienware desktop and ended up moddfying the sh*t out of it, ended up turning it into a test bed after the liquid cooling starting playing up and then never really bothered getting back into it with the advent of PSN's and xbox online. Strangley enough i'm off to sense check a customers self build tonight, he's put about £700 so far so must be decent spec, will get some pics up later.

Sorry Image isn't great was taken on my BB

One for all you PC nerds though, Was a good spec as expected

£250 Nvidia / asus graphics card, intel quad core, gigabyte board, 8GB RAM, all on cooler master cooling spent closer to £900 but self built, PC Sharks would be looking at £1200 for something like that.



And yes, i told him to tidy the cables up haha

Good to meet you, Nelzy, mate.. :-)

I've got me a Speccy tonight!
Made up...

Nice one COL hahah

Speccy waheyyyy, get in mate is it a ZX if so which one ?

Centipede all the way

Jetpac is my fave ever Speccy game..

Ste.. Never did a lot of pc gaming, mate..
Weren't the commando games later released on the ps2?
If so, wouldn't mind a crack at them..

Hi nik (ChildOfLucifer) big wave to you.. Like your hobby... Back when i was a teen i had hudereads of consoles/old computers.. But there was on favourite. The BBC Micro. I love this machine. Still do. I have one at home in the uk hopefully my family have kept it and stashed it away in the loft.. But i still relive my old classics as i have BEEBEM installed on my laptop and i also have an Android BBC Emulator installed on my phone. Yes i still get to play my beloved beeb games on my phone.. Chuckie Egg.. Etc etc.. Its amazing how technology has evolved.. The fact i can get a huge computer (BBC Micro) on to a smartphone is crazy but it still alows me to enjoy the hobby i love. Retro Gaming..

Hey, mate :-)
Never got into the beeb. But still love chuckie egg on my Speccy..
The old games never die, mate :-)
