Retro Freaks, how Freaky?

Post by durkada »

This place seems to be infested with retro-gamers; it's certainly why I'm here. So what is the oldest, genuine thing, you still play?

I'd have to check the dates, but it's going to be a toss-up between my ancient Atari 800 with M.U.L.E. (s-video hook-up, as well), or my Warlords cocktail cabinet. Either way, four player goodness.

I still play Bubble Bobble for SMS. Otherwise, mostly Saturn games.

NES. My Atari 2600 was was pretty much replaced forever, once that NES was in my hands. If I want to play my old Atari games, I just emulate the superior arcade versions in MAME. But my NES still has a lot of great games that have not been improved upon with sequels or remakes. I need to get some old friends over someday for some fierce battles in Super Dodge Ball. We used to get so good at that game that matches would seriously last upwords to 45 minutes, because we hardly ever screwed up on a catch.

I still emulate NES and SMS games, but the oldest actual hardware I still use is the Genesis.
I could never get rid of my Genny :)

if your gonna talk emulation... I emulate a lot of stuff on my GP2X. But I didn't include those things as he said 'genuine'.
