I don't know whether I have any pics (I'll see if I can dig some out), but I have a mint boxed SNES as well, along with a NES which is in amazing condition (not sure if it's ever been used!), a Panasonic Q and a few other bits & pieces! smile

WOW Another Vectrex owner smile

Not got a box, but I've got most of the games still boxed and it still works too. Many a happy hour playing those games. I also have a SNES and one of the proper old school atari console somewhere too.

I did have the Megadrive, mega CD and loads of bits for it but I really only bought it to play final fight. when it came on a retro game for the xbox I got rid of it sadly.

I've also got an original Atari Lynx 1 and 2x Atari Lynx 2's plus the orginal Gameboy somewhere, I may have to dig them back out again now.

I still have (and use!) my NES which my parents bought me. Got both controllers and the light gun (for Duck Hunt - although I can't play as it won't work on my LCD TV frown ).

I'd adore another Nintendo Virtual boy and a Neo Geo pocket colour; both consoles I should never have sold frown

I do still have the Game Boy I bought way back in 1990 in perfect condition in its original box (will take a snap tonight).

Something to do with refresh rates I think. Apparently you can sometimes get them to work if you set your TV to some silly resolution but I haven't tried wink

I forgot... I also have a drawer full of Gameboys at my parents - the Colour, Advance and Advance SP. As well as a Sega GameGear. Somewhere, I also have two Nintendo game watches where you could play a really basic version of Zelda and something else on your watch.

I might have been a bit of a Nintendo FanGirl as a child boxedin

Nice collection. That Virtual Boy is quite a find! You must have got hold of an import - it never officially made it over here did it?

I regret getting rid of my old consoles. It was about the time when I had my N64 I decided to never sell another console again.

I used to have a Commodore 64, Master System (mark 1), SNES and GameBoy (mark 1) but all were traded in, except for the C64 which ended up in a skip.

I have held on to my GameBoy Pocket, N64, DreamCast, PS2, GameCube, Wii and PS3 though, and they won't be going anywhere!

I have always said that one day, when I have somewhere with enough space, I will start a collection of old consoles. Always liked the idea of having some of the less successful consoles that I remember wanting when younger, such as a Jaguar, Amiga CD32 and 3DO.

My parents threw out my mint (and boxed, with original instructions, receipt from 1989 etc) Amstrad cpc6128+ last year banghead

I've got an N64 that I still play, does that count as retro these days?

Well I've got my 80's home office set up now.

On my big old desk I've got my Atari St, second drive and screen, my 1973ish green GPO 746 phone and my commodore LED calculator!!

Now I just need to sell the big pile of Atari ST machines, spares and games I have collected in my search for the few bits I wanted!!

Still got my 6128 - drive is knackered though, anyone know where I can source a drive belt for a 3 inch disk drive (rubber band with a circular cross section about 2 inches in length) ?

Does anybody have a Sega Master system they want to get rid of?
My fiancée wants to buy one for her dad for fathers day as he apparently used to love Alex the kid.

I remember I used to have an Atari and i'm 21.
