I still have my Lynx 1 and Lynx 2 and original Gameboy. Sold the game gear a few years back as it wasn't being used. The Lynx was awesome back then. Gates of Zendecon, Scrapyard dog, APB, Blue Lightening and of course California games!

Ive got the square bag for storage, the extra battery pack and mains adaptor for them too. Sadly the lynx1 overheats after a while and one of my 2's has a wonky speaker but they still provide more entertainment than my newer sony handheld!

Nice. Agree with you on that - I spent nearly £400 on a PSP Go and some games when it came out, on launch day, and I've played about twice. Game Boy Light is regularly in my bag for the journey to work, and I've recently rediscovered my Neo Geo Pocket Color.

Actually, saying I have every handheld ever is a bit of a lie - I've still not bought a Vita yet. Don't know if I will to be honest.

The only thing the vita is good for is remote play for PS3 AND PS4.

I had to downsize my collection a couple of years ago when two house moves were on the cards.... I had a mint boxed TI99/4a that I really regret selling on, but managed to keep a few.

VIC 20
C64 x2 (one of each version)
Spectrum 48
Spectrum +2
Binatone TV Master System

All boxed and working, and a decent collection of games and joysticks from the same era. Still looking for a good, boxed Spectrum 128k toastrack if anyone knows of one..

I'LL DOUBLE WHATEVER HE'S PAYING YOU!!!

LOL

the curse of the retro market has begun...

just got my SNES sitting in the car and the n64 need a cable or two to make sure it works or not... and then something to take the hideous paint job off

i actually got that n64 off a bin-diver for a fiver which isn't bad even if it isn't working.

Nobody's mentioned the Toshiba MSX. Way ahead of its time. Had some great games, mostly Konami arcade stuff. I used to buy them from a very small local electronics outlet.. I think the last game I bought for it was this and it's pretty good.

Look at this on eBay:

You've got me looking on eBay now..

Wow look at this gem. Didn't know this game was made for the MSX. Thus must be one if the very last ones made..

I've got a boxed Atari 7800 with boxed games and a Snes, mk1 master system amongst my retro gaming stuff.
Sold my Amiga 1200 with matching printer not so long ago.

[KENZ]

Wow, now this was one of my favourite games on the system and I still have it somewhere..

I had a Toshiba MSX when they first came out. Great computer and easy to program. I also purchased another one years later at a car boot sale where someone had cracked the main board but I managed to bridge all the tracks and got it running again.

Played for hours on Kings Valley.

[Wadeski]

in the attic i have...

Neo Geo (with MVS convertor cartridge to play the cheaper arcade carts)
PS2
Gamecube
CD32 (although i haven't seen it in years)
Original gameboy (boxed)
gameboy colors (boxed)
gameboy pocket (boxed)
gameboy light (not boxed)
Neo Geo Pocket Color (boxed)

I quite fancy a SNES, but the US ones where I live are ugly and turn yellow with age. I'd much prefer a Japanese model.

Found the spectrum in the garage at my moms today, loads of original games and a quick shot 2 joystick

[Morningside]

I don't think you can beat the original spectrum. It was a great design. Did anyone else see someone selling all those easly prototypes on eBay?

Oh yes!

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.

[Matt172]

Nice, my brother worked for Microsoft/rare when the 360 was released, I've got a special edition 'I made this' cover on mine
