Say hello to Xbox360 number 5



Didn't know it made the R2D2 sounds, makes it well worth getting over the regular ones I've had before.

Retro?

Nothing in this thread is "Retro".....you do know/understand the meaning of the word don't you?

There are 2 main definitions of retro in English.
1: ADJECTIVE
Imitative of a style or fashion from the recent past: example "retro 60s fashions"

2: NOUN
Retro clothes, music, or style: example "a look which mixes Italian casual wear and American retro"

Vitriolic fail.

Am I the only one who had and still owns a Vectrex?

I found someones made an app to play the games on the iphone, but I think I still prefer the real thing with an actual controller and having to put the plastic coloured screen in to play it

[AmiableChimp]

I've got a Hanimex 8881 TV game from the late 70s.

I have unfortunately lost the gun over the years, although to be fair, it only worked if you were about 1" from the screen

I had to go into Tandy years ago to buy a power pack and the guys in the shop all wondered what it was, so we set it up and had a tennis tournament.

I also have an original Gameboy somewhere in my daughter's room - used to love playing Legend Of Zelda on the bus into work.

I have owned over the years Spectrum 48k, Amiga 500, Megadrive, PSP and now got an XBox 360 - wish i'd kept all the old ones!

[y2blade]

Yes!! just landed this (console needs a clean, however all working as it should)


Along with the two games that got me interested in Xbox.....



£14 all in.

Panasonic 3DO FZ1 (Inc all the decent games, of which there wasn't many, nice system actually)
PS1

I've got a Panasonic 3DO. Don't think I have any games though. I bought it cos it has a drawer CD tray to use with my stereo in the '90s!
