old school

[creepster]

i finally (finally!) managed to get a signal converter box for my european (pal) PSX to play games on my north american (ntsc) tv
so far im still rummaging through games but my favs for the moment are "exhumed", "disruptor" and "kula world"

i'm so excited once getting the adapter cable and hook up my genesis system (mega drive, mega cd, 32X)

Those that wanna play Assassins Creed 2 and Modern Warfare 2.

Nah congratulations. But whats a PSX? Like a PS1 or something?

[creepster]

yeah ... it's the ps1
not sure if that's one of those irritating european/american naming differences

i think during the weekend i will dig out the wipeout series
playing those racing type games (never could bother with actual cars however) are much more fun with the twistable neGcon controller

That is old school. I have a slim PS2 kicking around, hardly even use that :)

[creepster]

well, it isnt the oldest of systems

im sure koggen has something alike kicking around, like the vectrex or C64

if ever, he's probably having the first wooden wheel as a toy around back from the stone ages

oh yeah, had that one. Then switched over to a ps2 since its all backward compatible.

I love Spyro Year of the Dragon (nostalgic reasons) and FF9. The only 2 PSX/PS1 games I still have.

[Shirow]

No, it's not the oldest but still.. it's pretty damn old. I have a Dreamcast kicking around somewhere, that's pretty old!

I sold all my old systems a couple years ago.  Atari 5200, NES, SNES, Gameboy, GameGear, PSP, Genesis, PS1.  I still have a PS2 around as a DVD player and an original backwards compatible PS3.  Oh and the wife has a DS.

i also sold my consoles over the past few years. Now i just have my PC. i stay with my brother currently and he has our old Atari 2600 from when we were younger. When he hooks it up to his 52" it looks like shite but it's both hilarious and nostalgic. It's hard to believe we ever thought that that was cutting edge technology. And my oh my how wearing it is on the wrists and hands using those old joysticks compared to today's more ergonomic controllers. It's great for some laughs, but i will confess to being a graphics and sfx whore any day =P

Actually ... yes, I do have a C64 somewhere at home

Hmm... I SAW that, don't try to hide behind small fonts :P

What ? how did i miss this thread ?

I too love the old school classics

I still have my modded PSX (not the later released PS1 which was slimmed down, and more "round" in shape)
a sega genesis, and a radio shack coco2 (tandy TRS80)
as well (for certain nostalgic reasons) as all the games ever made for the
Nintendo, Master System, Super Nintendo, Genesis, and N64 (in rom format of course)

How else am i supposed to get my Contra fix ? :P
Then, theres all the old SF classics (which i too play from time to time)
Killer Instinct, & Mortal Kombat (thank you MAME)

Who really needs a PS3/360/Wii ?
old school is about gameplay, not graphics (except for SFIV)
