Nostalgia Retro gaming

[ghostfreak]

Do you have any ‘retro’ consoles? If so, what are they and do they still work?

For example I have here:

• GameCube
• Mega Drive (Lion King edition boxed)
• Game boy Color
• Dreamcast
• PS1 (cracked top lid though)
• PS3 (are they even considered retro?)
• Wii (loved this and still do)
• N64
• SNES (forgot my fav console!!!)

These all still work which is amazing.

Anyway that was a bit of a ramble haha.

For linux users check out retro arch for loads of old games and such (not condoning piracy or anything).

Yes I have most of the ones on your list.

In addition I have the following original hardware in good working order:

3DO Saturn Jaguar SNES and NES.

I have a PS2 at my parents house. Played around with it a bit when I was visiting during Christmas time, had a blast reacquainting myself with the Jak games.

I'm jealous of you guys.

One of my biggest regrets is selling off all my shit when I was in my late teens/early twenties. I needed money and wasn't thinking about how much I'd miss it or how expensive it would be to replace in the future.

I had pretty much every Nintendo system and accessory, from the original NES to the WiiU when I got rid of everything. And as you can imagine a shit ton of games. I underestimated how valuable it would be to actually own these things and play them as intended instead of just downloading them on a phone or computer.

I also had Ps1 and Ps2, Sega, Dreamcast, Xbox, 360, etc.

Now I have only a Switch and Xbox One S. But I haven't played the Xbox in years because I can't afford to pay the subscriptions for both and would rather have the features of NSO.

I am hopeful that one day I'll get the stuff I want most back.

I still have an original Gameboy. Had a Gameboy Advance too but I don’t know where that went
