Funyarinpa Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Are there any (preferably old) gaming devices (e.g. limited edition consoles, accessories like headsets, retro consoles) For me, I really want to have this GBA SP NES Edition: ...But only if it was with a flashcart (EZ Flash IV): (A flashcart is something in basically you put the game ROM's into a miniSD (yes miniSD for this one) card, which then goes into the cart, so you can download ROM's off the internet and play them on the GBA.) I want to have a GBA SP NES LE and an EZ Flash IV someday. Someday, I'll have them. I do not know when, but I will. So, do you have anything like that you wish you had, but don't? Quote

zoom909 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 a Vectrex, because there's nothing else like it. I'd still like one. a Turbo Duo and Neo Geo consoles would have been nice as well. Quote
Nimbus Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Nintendo 64 I grew up with all the Playstations so I missed a lot of classics. Quote
Tay Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 We owned a Sega. My neighbor owned a SNES. Sonic was cool, but he was no Megaman. Or Mario. Or Ninja Turtles. Quote
Soulless Watcher Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 I personaly wanted a PS3, but my mom up and won a xbox360 at work and gave it to me.... so that plan was kinda shot, not that I'm really complaining. Quote
EldritchCherub Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 I want a 3DSXL, still waiting for the price to drop a bit more. I'm tempted to buy a used one from Ebay, but I don't want to have the bad luck of it dying several months after buying it... Quote
Eclipsed Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 I stopped at Nintendo Gamecube Gameboy Advance Playstation ~~ So I want Nintendo Wii U 3DSXL Playstation 4 Quote
Thunderbro Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 I wish I had a Sega Genesis and a Dreamcast. Emulations and ports don't give quite the same experience. Quote
zoom909 Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I wish I had a Sega Genesis and a Dreamcast. Emulations and ports don't give quite the same experience. No Saturn? Or do you already have one of those? Quote
Zalor Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 a Vectrex, because there's nothing else like it. I'd still like one. a Turbo Duo and Neo Geo consoles would have been nice as well. Quote

zoom909 Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I didn't even know anyone else on these forums knew what a Vectrex was. By any chance do you of Mark from Classic Game Room on YouTube? He's a fairly entertaining video game reviewer (and was the first guy to do internet videos of video games reviews. He originally started in 1999). Anyway he's a huge fan of the Vectrex and will often jokingly bring up the console's name in his videos. By the way here is one of his reviews of a Vectrex game if you're curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEQV-N3PHvM As for me, I want an Atari 7800. Interestingly, the only time I had a bad experience on Ebay was when I bought one of these. The dude shipped it to the wrong address and refunded me (but I still lost the money from shipping charges). I have an Atari 2600 and the 5200 (and yes, the Atari 5200 is just as bad as people say it is). So I really need the 7800 for my collection. Sure, I've seen Classic Game Room several times. But in the case of Vectrex, I got to play with it in person when someone brought one to the anime convention in Atlanta for a tournament (which I won btw despite having never played on one before) Personally, I don't think the vectrex games themselves have aged well--I would never bother with an emulator, and many of the games such as the one you pictured are much better on the original arcade version--but the console itself is such a novelty, with the built-in vector monitor which there is nothing like these days, that's the thing that sets it apart. I have a 2600 too, but I don't play it anymore. If I was going to collect another Atari system I think an XE would be cool: http://videogamecritic.com/xeinfo.htm Some of the 800-series games are still fun today, and I have them emulated under MESS... I remember playing with a 7800 at someone's house...it was okay, but I was SO glad I had asked for a NES instead of a 7800 for my 1st game system... Quote
ExtraMana Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 The Ouya LOL jk fuck that shit. ....I was successfully trolled Also the PS1 Quote
Stray Cat Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 but buying a console just for a pair of games..screw that It's called Vita and Danganronpa. Quote
zoom909 Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Also the PS1 Still want one? I have one that works for half an hour. Quote
ExtraMana Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Still want one? I have one that works for half an hour. I just emulate or use my PS Vita for PS1 games. The one game I really want to beat for PS1 is Resident Evil 2 but I'm holding out for a remake. Quote

zoom909 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Maybe we were neighbors. I definitely liked my Nintendo systems better (I fondly remember the first time I saw Super Mario World playing on our tv on a Christmas morning), but playing Sonic on the neighbors' Sega (or better yet, watching them play Sonic, since I was terrible at it, and most of the joy in Sonic seems to come from knowing the levels well enough to really breeze through them) was pretty cool. I sometimes wish I'd had a Sega system mostly so I could've played Phantasy Star, at an age when I would've appreciated it (I tried to play one of them emulated years later and couldn't get into it). But I always rationalize to myself that Final Fantasy probably beats the stuffing out of Phantasy Star anyway. Phantasy Star probably didn't even have a chiptune opera. Quote
SilverLi Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I would say GameCube actually. I always wanted one but never managed to get one, I got a PS2 by my parents instead. Otherwise I was happy with what I had and never felt a need for something else. I grew up with a SNES, N64, PS2, GBA and later on a PS3. My friends had Xbox, Xbox360 and Wii. Quote
