My god, is a PS1 now considered retro?

Makes me feel old!!

I remember quite a few after school sessions of Worms, Lara Croft, Wipeout and Ridge Racer games going well into the night. Not to forget Resident Evil, what a game.

Anyone else spend far too muc time playing RoadRash? I think the second one had bikes with turbos on smile

The yellow gameboy in the middle is an Original one smile

I still LOVE playing roadrash now lol! I have a media center setup in my room and have LOADS of emulators on it, the most played being the Megadrive emulator, playing Roadrash and Wonderboy5 lol!

My old dear found this on her loft (along with the megadrive pictured above) at the weekend


Thrilled to bits to see it, spent hours on it back in the day.
She thinks my old Spectrum 48k and 128+2 are up there too!!!!! I hope so!

I've owned a few in the past, but I genuinely believe that the SNES will never be beaten.

In the last 8 or so years I have got rid of my old NES, Megadrive, Mega CD but I will never get rid of my SNES!

Although I do now wish I hadn't got rid of them. Just have to dig out the old MB Vectrex and have a bash on that instead.

I agree about the SNES, the star of my collection too.

I bet not many people had one of these! The only one I kept apart from current PS3+4. Great little console for the time,bought it around 1988,never officially sold in the UK.
