I wonder if any of you are in to your retro gaming. When I was a kid I inherited my older brother's commodore 64, ZX spectrum and Atari 2600 and needless to say was absolutely baffled by them most of the time because it was hard to even get these fuckers to run and the games were extremely difficult.
Hopefully there are some other people here who like retro gaming or like to reminisce about them.

SEEEEGAAAAAAA.
Admittedly didn't play many of the other consoles. Fondest memories of playing games as a kid came from SEGA, Playstation 1/2 and Gameboy Color.

I had the master system 2 which had Alex kidd built in as well. The master system was a revelation for me after thinking it didn't get any better than joust. Had aliens and Barcelona Olympics game for it as well

My first gaming memories come from it. I played a lot of Joust and Phoenix but I struggle to remember any others now. I had an NFL game and I was so confused because it said football but it wasn't the football I knew. Name some games Planck?

Played a lot of Super Breakout, Combat, Air/Sea Battle, Indiana Jones, Asteroid, Galaga and one weird game where you broke down your opponent's fort that never had a label. XD Had more than a few of those.

I don't have any of my retro consoles left now. Threw out the oldest ones till all that was left was a broke mega drive. Chucked that and kept the games, bought another mega drive and left it in my old flat when I moved out :s

Best only game that comes to mind now for SNES was super Mario all stars and I think super Mario world or somethin like that was another the one where you could actually get yoshi out the egg an eat apples an shit as you went along the level

The poll needs more Game Boy. Spent countless hours of my childhood on it.
Then we had some kind of family entertainment system which was pretty much 90 NES games in one. Brother and I used to kick ass on co-op. :>

Got to be the SNES, first console I ever owned. I had two games, Super Mario and an American football game. Didn't know how to play American football so that didn't get much of a run out. My housemate bought a SEGA Megadrive from Argos 2 days ago and it's great fun though. Streets of Rage 2 is quality, must say.
