OH rang me at work yesterday telling me that a friend of hers saw that I had a few old consoles so brought me around a "handful" of old games that would gave gone in bin!!!

Got home to this.

Back when Fifa Street was a good game to play, I still remember when using the power up shot if you miss the ball would just rebound and then end up going through your goalkeepers legs!

I feel quite old thinking about this.... hehe

As good a place as any for this...

I'm currently finishing off the retro are in my man cave, and I have the burning desire to own a copy of Virtual Racing, just because. Trouble is, I can't make up my mind which version to buy.

MD: Techinically incredible for the time, unique cart, worst for gfx.
32X: Very rare to have, pretty close to the arcade, I'd need to buy a 32X for it
Saturn: Closest to the arcade in gfx, not made by Sega though
PS2: Very pretty, more polished, it's not really VR though


Make my mind up for me gents, what would you get? I'm torn between MD and Saturn, but the 32X is tempting as well.

I still love my Dreamcast and I held off buying it when it first launched because I poured so much money into my Saturn with games/peripherals and that didn't end well...but decided to get one anyway and about a week later they announced it was being killed off...bloody Sega! frown

Wish I had that Arcade controller for mine it looks awesome. cool
