MrHanky Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 My hobby is collecting consoles and I have loads of them right back from the eighties. Although I have no money now to buy one, back to back from a gamers point of view, on HDTV - is teh PS3 any better? I do not own both (I just have 360) but a friend has and whilst I do think the PS3 does look better, I don't think it is by a great deal. The Blueray disc's do look awesome though. I kind of like keeping the old consoles as well and having a go every now and then. So far I have Mega Drive, Game Gear, PSP, SNES, N64, 2 x PS2's, Xbox 360, a Sinclair Spectrum somewhere and an Amiga 500. What you got in your collection Martin? A NES would be nice to have with Duck Hunt at some point Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrHanky Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Added onto that - What is your favorite game of all time on ANY platform? If I look back at what I played most I would have to say Goldeneye on the N64. I worked out that I played over 6000 hours on this game over the course of 4.5 years (lots of very good memories ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamAhead Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Smarty - with you on Chuckie Egg (many lost hours on that) used to play that on the BBC along with Revs and also Magic Mushroom (waits for comments ) Here's a remake of Chuckie Egg if anyones interested: http://retroremakes.com/forum2/showthread.php?p=81477#post81477 This remake is cracking for those that go back that far: http://www.plasmapong.com/ Well my console list is: 1 - Snes x2 2 - Nes 3 - Gameboy x2 4 - Gameboy Advance (lignt install) 5 - DS (old shape) 6 - Virtual Boy 7 - Gamecube 8 - Ps1 (One) + 2 old shape 9 - Ps2 (slimline) 10 - PSP 11 - Tapwave Zodiac 12 - Vectrex (only 2 games for it ) 13 - Dreamcast (my favourite machine for shmups) 14 - Xbox 15 - PC which is tranformed on my Retrosesh nights in to a Aracde machine mmmm lovely. 16 - One machine I do miss from the collection is my old Amiga 500 (sold off years ago), the emulators are good for it but I may have to get that back one day. Having now typed that list, I really do think I need to get out more + theres the poor wife to think of (but then......thought in head......I still have much more to collect ) Heee heee, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveK Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I always thought that Way of the Exploding Fist on C64 was cool. Although my all time favourite would probably be Elite - I spent a loooooong time playing that on a BBC B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
