That and all the spin off's plus sensible soccer is the reason I still have the Amiga.

I have the WinUAE Amiga emulator, but you can't play the wacky cover disc versions like the Moon version of sensi or Cannon Soccer where they combined the two games with a hand grenade as the ball that explodes every 5 seconds

(I haven't played or even started the machine up in years but it's always around just in case)

[jmorgan]

I need to get the rom to run the emulator on the mac. Unable to transfer. So it comes out to play once in a while. But its also worms I miss. Oh, and what was the Edwardian gents running around punching up the naughty ones?

[pjskel]

Dreamcast here and games, memory thingy and RGB SCART.
Boxed as well.
Email me if interested (via profile).

[deevlash]

Ive still got my snes with a load of games, an original gameboy, gameboy advance, gamecube, and an n64, which I have zelda and goldeneye for.

[[k]ar|]

I still have my Commodore 64 with all the kit - disk drives, printer, tape deck, joysticks and a load of original games - but they've been boxed up in the attic, untouched for literally years, right next to another box full of original mid-90's onwards PC games. God knows what state they must all be in now.

I use a C64 emulator when the lure of SpyHunter, Skate or Die and The Last Ninja 2 becomes too great

[k]

[matt172]

none of mine are boxed, but I've got a N64, gameboy, and my old ZX Specturm 48k, with loads of games, and the red quickshot II joystick

[FourWheelDrift]

I also have the original Orange 2screen LCD Nintendo Donkey Kong hand held game. Which suspiciously looks like their recent DS to me.



I was very good at it

I've got my old 6128 with colour monitor sitting in a cupboard somewhere - multiface 2, external cassette (|tape followed by ctrl + enter IIRC) and a fair few games. I think the inbuilt 3 inch disk drive is on the blink (the rubber band that connected the motor inside had a habit of getting loose) .
At the moment I run emulators (Amstrad, Comodore 64, BBC B, spectrum and Amiga) though I could do with a digital USB joystick to play the games properly.

No 'Vectrex' then Nick?

[Digby]

I have all sorts and used to collect quite a bit.I also started getting hold of early magazines etc as well as the hardware, various addons and games.
I have the more modern things such as the 360, PS2, cube, Dreamcast, XBox etc but also quite a few
older items.

Talking of vectrex, these are the last two things i sold:





One of them had a quite rare outer MB cardboard box too - which was nice.

I also have a few unusual bits and bobs and more run of the mill things.

This isn't my picture, but i have a boxed one of these.It's a Nintendo Game 6,
Nintendos first console!



This is a Zx81 unbuilt still in kit form.I have another couple of ZX81's boxed
too.



As i said, i also have various magazines dating back to the 70's, but i was
quite chuffed to get hold of the magazine on the right in this picture.
It is issue 1 (including the free gift) of Computer and Video Games magazine,
otherwise known as C&VG.It was hidden in a draw in a bag for over 20 years
by a collector and i would be VERY suprised if you ever see another in the world
in this condition.
The mag on the left is a sealed issue 1 of EDGE.I have issues 1 to 20 or so of that
publication.



A Sega Megajet.This was used on Japanese flights for passengers to play games
via the onboard lcd screens.



Atari VCS Rom scanner.This allowed you to plug in various carts and flick between
them.



Atari Stunt Cycle.Who says handle bars for gamine were a new thing?



Again not my pic (i don't have pics of everything i own) but i also have one
of these all boxed and as new.The Nintendo Virtual Boy.



A keyboard addon for the Atari VCS.Don't ask me what it was like to use though,
i have never bothered to set it up and try!



I have two sets of these wireless joysticks for the Atari VCS.



Some coleco stuff including an unusual set of controlers and the addon unit
which allowed you to play Atari carts on the system.







Nintendos power glove and arcade stick.





A Treamcast.It does all that a dreamcast does and more.Sega got these banned
but you can still get hold of them if you hunt.It comes in a rather spiffing
zip up bag.



The saturn VCD addon card.




Not rare by any means, but here we have a PS1 with a boxed mouse, multitap and
av lead.




A nice ZX81 and disc drive driven speccy plus 3



I have a nice boxed Jaguar plus this, the CD addon.Sorry about the carpet, it was
here when we moved in : p



The final edition of the N64 still sealed.I also have a boxed BUNG backup device.



A nice Vic 20.



An Aquarius



A boxed VCS.I have numerous boxed games for this, some a little more rare than
others, three star wars games are shown here too.





Various Tomy units plus astro wars and scramble.



Intellivision plus some of the games.



Acorn electron - box is tatty though.




Some Sega stuff:














Just random pics of bits, SNES, NES, NEO GEO CD, 3DO's, Sinclair bits..















Sinclair printer in original box it was mailed in.




Some more atari carts..





Old Grandstand type things..



Second edition C64



CD32, got loads of games for this.



A nice boxed A500 (sold the A1200)





Mixed edition 1's (no pics of really old mags etc yet)



Amstrad console.






That will do for now, it gives you something to look at anyway
I also have a Philips G7000 console a Sinclair Speccy 16 (not as common as the 48)
a mega cd 1 and 2 all boxed and other bits i can't remember just yet..

I've got an old boxed TV Sport thing, Atari 800XL, Amstrad CPC464 (green screen of course) and a late '80s vintage Amstrad PC with a cool 20MB of hard disc
(oh and a SEGA Megadrive and Game Gear with TV adaptor)

Wow someone else bought a GX4000

Nice collection. I hope you have a CPC or a PCW in there somewhere.
