Oh I did, it all got packed away apart from my A3000 in around 1993, and a Mitsubishi Blue Diamond I assure you cannot take a 60Hz signal.
Look what I just found hiding in the cupboard....

It's not a sequel as such, but it's bloody brilliant!
I'm that daft that I still own a multisych monitor, and if you know your Amigas, you'll know why, It's only a 15", but very necessary.
You stopped playing the Snes in 93? Why on earth would you do that!?
I stopped playing games full stop. I grew up. Now I've regressed.
Well, it had this mad trait of being able to change its video output frequency line by line.
Mentiroso!
No, he had a Famicom as well as the Master System.
Yeah, I re-thought my re-think and realised that's what you meant
Get the Kid Kool rom if you liked Psyco Fox. Not as classy (due to the NES' limitations), but great none the less!
I went to university in 92, I seriously had no time for it.
As for the Amiga, the original team had an updated chipset ready in 87 I think that did 1280x1024 in 7 bit colour. It needed VRAM though, Commodore dumped it.
Look up Amiga Ranger. There are scans of an interview with Miner just after he and the rest of Los Gatos were fired.
Anyone ever play Rick Dangerous on the Amiga? Loved that one.

Bit before my time matey, but I'm definitively going to read up on that!
The highest resolution I was working with back in the day was on the Playstation, I rigged a monitor and forced the output at 800x600 (@about 24fps mind) for a 3D tank game I made. I wished I still had the rom and source for that
I have originals on the ST, ZX and C64. That brings back memories mate! I
Does anyone remember the game that spawned shit loads of rip offs, like Hitman, MGS and Splinter Cell?
Yes, that's the one. Joe Blade.
Yes, that's the one. Joe Blade.
No, don't remember that. How about Impossible Mission?
I prefer Rick Dangerous 2.
It was. Although, I must admit that I never really figured out what I was supposed to be doing anyway...
I was on a gaming nostalgia trip quite recently, and I actually read a walk through of Impossible Mission, just to see what the hell was going on. It's ridiculous.
I think Green Beret was even more difficult.
That's awesome, Weaste. You got a Panaonsic 3DO stashed away at all? Always fancied one of them.
Got a Super Nintendo when I was at primary school for Christmas and Street fighter 2. Was the biggest game by far at the time, everyone wanted it and I think the cartridge cost my old man like £65!!!!! We all used to play it loads on arcade machine at the swimming centre and when it was coming out for console everyone would pile into the local Comet electrical store to get a game with Ken or Ryu, think they even put a sign up after a while saying kids only allowed in with parents as it was that bad.
Some older lad down the road had it on import with one of those cartridge adapters and he was a complete tight git with it. That and the firs MK just owned, Mario kart too.
Got rid of my Snes as a kid but still got the N64 with Goldeneye at my mums house I think somewhere, also got the old Playstation stashed away here and this which was a great console:
No way near as old as some of the gear in this thread but a top old console none the less. Got quite a few games for it, UEFA striker (Dwight Yorke on cover), House of dead 2, Quake 3, Crazy taxy 2, Sega world wide soccer, Toy commander, Metrpolis street racer, Sega rally etc.
Sega WWS footie game was ace, got fairly average ratings at the time but had some cracking games on it with mates, you could swerve the ball and direct it top corner like a missle, made for some great goals. The net console that started it all, just a shame they blew all their advertising budget on Arsenal and Deportivo shirt sponsors or whoever it was. We've seen we Apple iPhone, TV ads are key.
Been meaning to get it out and have a bash with the light gun and HOTD2 on the newer TV's but not got around to rigging it up as of yet. Even got the fishing rod but no Sega Bass though.

but no Sega Bass though.I was very very young but I have memories of playing Kangaroo and Centipede on the Atari 2600.

The other games I remember playing around this time are on DOS...
Prince of Persia
and
and
Catacomb Abyss
feck me, I'm sick to my stomach with nostalgia of being a 6 year old without a care in the world playing these fantastic games. Nintendo are the only company that seem to understand that gameplay is far far more important than graphics these days.

I had the same lightgun as you, but fecked if I know what happened to it. My console still works perfectly, though.
I also fancied a 3DO too, Claymore. Sadly my dad bought the Phillips CD-I instead...
Never actually played a Dreamcast though.
Also, for Amiga fans, just found this channel on Youtube: YouTube - cubex55's Channel

I will raise you a:
Shenmue and Ready to Rumble.
3DO looked mint, was like a hi-fi separate. Remember seeing the Phillips CDi in the shops but never knew anyone who had one though. Any good titles?
Not a single one, hence the use of the word "sadly". All we ever played on it was a casino game and my dad bought it almost entirely on the strength of the one golf game it had.
I don't have a 3DO mate, no, they were far too expensive, however, the Amiga line goes through it, Atari Lynx, Jaguar, and 3DO, they simply lacked the genius of Miner IMO. I'm a bit of a fanatic, but the Amiga was the first truly modern personal computer, and it could do weirdo things.
Did any of you ever own a Neo Geo?
They were out of my price range.
Neo geo and the 3do are two consoles i've never owned, there's not many I haven't (or still do). I wish I still had my Jaguar and Turbogfx16 though. I think i've still got a Jaguar controller somewhere actually, I might have to get another one.
Where can I get me an Amiga? I'd love to play Speedball 2 again
Do you have a 360? It's in the Arcade marketplace, along with a few other gems like Sensible World of Soccer.
uae?
I bet Weaste has one of these in his cupboard......
we had an einstein which is 'rare' and so shit apart from the games on the system, there was only one ever made which was cluedo. It was a similar design to the amiga (though memories hazy) - fatter different general shape and took the big floppies I think.
It might have been a similar design to the Commodore PET.
I'll tell you one thing that's daft, all they needed to do was to give it a chunky pixel display mode. Then allow the polygon fill of the blitter to use a texture........
Was the Turbogfx16 the same as a PC Engine? I used to have one of them - it had quality games!
Yep, it's a PC Engine.
