The most funky shit around at the time however were the Jap PC derivatives like the FM Towns.
Look what I just found hiding in the cupboard....

My uncle gave me one of these bad boys with about 200 games. Most didn't work.

I had a ZX81 with a 16k Ram pack.
Its very similar. Kinda regret buying it in hindsight
Played the regular systems but the obscure ones are always interesting. Though the dsi is the most fun i've had in a good while.
Apparently we had one of these when I was a toddler:
First computer I remember using was the Commodore 64 though.

It's 12 days until the 25th anniversary of the Amiga, I'm going to make a nice thread.

Same form factor, very nice.
My first console was a PS2, you lot are too fecking old!
My first was a BBC Master - took about 20 mins to load a game through a tape.
Then I had:
NES
SNES
Sega megadrive
N64
Dreamcast
PS2
Xbox
Quality. Although I don't play games since I left uni...

I bought a brand new one of these for about 10quid a few years ago just for the novelty value - Amstrad gave me my first taste of video gaming so I always have a soft spot for them!
WTF is that?
I know it is obscure but I thought you would know it!

Suffice to say, it was a massive failure at the time - I picked it up with a copy of Pang which used to be one of my favorites.
I had one of these.
I used hate kids asking my what computer I had. I just wanted to be like everyone else. Couldn't get many games for it and all.

Anyone know of any online retro gaming stores? Ones that sell SNES games preferably.
I know of these three;
ConsolePassion - Online Retro Games Store
ConsoleMad - Buy Retro Games, Consoles and Accessories | ConsoleMAD
Retrogames - Vintage Video Games and Classic Retro Gaming
And obviously eBay which I use a lot already.
Anyone know any more?
Also... If I buy an NTSC SNES from eBay, can I just use the power cable from my PAL SNES, or will I need a converter or something? Thanks

If you have your old snes games but your console is worn out, you can buy new ones from Think Geek.
Nah my console works perfectly, just wanted to get some NTSC games and since not all of them work on PAL consoles with a converter, thought I'd get an NTSC console if I see one quite cheap
How cool is that?
My favourite game of all time, full stop.
plug the bastard in so, and get some star fox on the go
I going to buy a snes now, bastards
I still have the original Gameboy stuck in the loft at my dads house. Wonder how much I could sell it for as its still in good condition?
Probably £30-40. They are not rare and hardly appreciate in value. Factoring in inflation, they are probably worth about 30% of what they cost at launch. Same for all those old consoles really. I remember paying £130 for a Megadrive (and the same for a SNES) - the equivalent of £200 today - and £99 for a Game Gear in the early 90s (£130 today). I think Gameboys were about £70-80 (£110-120). Current consoles are cheaper than they ever were factoring in inflation.
Do you have super international cricket, that game was the bomb and still is the best cricket game ever released.
My brother used to have a NES and a master system. They're the first consoles i can remember playing but the first console i ever got was the mega drive..
God they're shit looking back!

Controllers haven't changed much since the 16 bit era though.
