I have:
Intelivison
Nintendo
Super Nintendo
Sega Genesis
Gameboy
3DO
Sega Saturn
Playstation 1
N64
Gameboy color
Sega Dreamcast
Playstation 2
Xbox
Nintendo Gamecube
Gameboy Advanced
A NeoGeo 2 slot MVS arcade cabinet
I try and keep all my old systems because along time ago when the 3DO came out I sold my Sega Genesis/Sega CD combo, my Super Nintendo, and tons of games and controllers to buy games for my ill fated system. I have now got both of those system again with the exception of the Sega CD but I don't have any where near as many game for them. I was young and stupid. :(

I felt like I was the s**t when it came out though. I had the first $500 32 bit system! I still play it for a few games. It has the best version of Street Fighter II to ever hit a home system. Same with Samurai Showdown, but now I have a MVS so it made my home version useless. When it dies I will keep it as a $500 paperweight and a life lesson learned.

You can run mame on Xbox? I knew it could be done on Dreamcast but I've never heard of it done on a Xbox.

I think my favorite game of all time was Snatchers for the Sega CD. Not much action but one hell of a story! Its kind of hard to declare a favorite game though.

Dude, you are like the Ann Landers of wacko's, I have a cup coffee in the morning and check what the avatar of the days is, almost like Will Rodgers "I never met an avatar I didn't like!" lol That's a compliment man! :p:

Boy Howdy! Captain speaks it straight! :beer: When I saw the English Metal band "Raven" there drummer wears a hockey helmet and his name was "wacko" between songs he would always bash his head in his cymbals, the dude was truly wacko, but he kicked ass! Just totally defined the term for me, so my buds would always say if you're wacko, you breath rare air! I think there is a little wacko in all of us! :thumb:

:one: Every game is getting better and better. I love a game where you can pick up hookers, make a car bounce, then throw them out of it after your health goes through the roof. Then you can beat them up afterwords for a full-refund and then some.

12-15-2005, 03:36 PM
yes it is. I honestly can't think of one i enjoyed more. I did like mario rpg alot. I just got my gamecube a week or so ago and im like 20 hours into paper mario, its not too bad. Its lacking a bit, but only because of the games i compare it to.

Did you here the rumor about a FF7 remake for Playstation 3? I have seen the screenshots that Square used to show of what they can do with PS3 but dont know if they'll go through with a full remake.

adamlowery
12-15-2005, 04:15 PM
Yes i did hear that and I will buy a ps3 when they do lol

captain howdy
12-15-2005, 04:23 PM
I'll buy a PS3 with or without FF7. I had a little doubt when Sony first entered the market, but they have definitely proved themselves to me!

SIHHR
12-15-2005, 05:36 PM
I got to get both. XBox 360 and PS3.
