This whole post is excellently thought out, and I am in 100% agreement. Some controllers are better than others for certain types of games, OR for person playing the games.

I've only played GoW 1 and 2. I've played through all of the R&C games multiple times. At $30, I'd be happy to play the PS2 remastered versions on my PS3. But only if I can get them on disc. No "download only".

The NES adapters work by receiving RF signal from your console. If the signal is sufficient strength, it auto-switches to the console. Unfortunately, the 2600 can't supply a sufficient signal to trigger the switch.

Thinking outside the box, there.

It sounds like you're a racing fan. So am I. I've got the full GT series, as well as Dirt 1-3 for a close-to-real-life experience, MotorStorm 1-3, and a few other more arcadish racers, too. Where you say you like to use your "accurate" 360 controller, I like to use a wheel and pedals, because I find that setup much more accurate than the standard controller. Very generalized statement. I am a Wii owner, as well as a PS3 owner. I like games from both systems. So your definition of a "real game" is one where everything has to be perfect and as real-life as possible to the hardware it's running on, and if the controllers aren't picture-perfect accurate, they're junk? Does this mean any game that runs on any console older than 6th generation just isn't "real"? My definition of a game, any game, is something that is entertaining, enjoyable and fun to play. But going back to my original point, just because the Wii controllers aren't perfect by today's standards, doesn't mean they're not fun to play with. And I get a lot of fun out of running around the living room with my kids playing "swords".

Why is a technology that is supposed to involve more of your body than just your thumbs considered crap? I've enjoyed the Wii with its motion controls. I get to bowl, play tennis and shoot archery with my kids, right there in my living room. Not to mention, I have used the Wii-Fit board a few times. It's not perfect, but at least I'm not sitting on my ass all the time. I don't have an XBox 360, but if I did I might consider getting the camera. My kids would probably love all the dancing and other full-body games.

Royalties is something that would need to be worked out between him and the person taking over the project. I considered adding that to my email to him, but decided it wasn't my place to do so.

I just sent a message via the Schell's Electronics Contact Form: If I receive a reply, I'll be sure to let you know.

I personally won't (re-spelled as "can't") pay that kind of price for any SD cart. As much as I'd like one. The only reason I hadn't gotten one at $150 was due to price. But now that they're officially sold out people are feeling desperate. I'll just have to wait until someone else creates a new one. If Schell isn't making any more, I wonder if another party would be interested in obtaining the specifications and resuming the build and sales.

$315? Really? Weren't they being sold new (until they sold out) for about $150?

Stupid question, but have you hit up CMart and Revolutionika for any of this stuff? Maybe it's just me, but I'd estimate you'd have to trade both the Vader and Jr. for just one or the other of the Super Pro or 5200. The 2600 systems you have listed just aren't worth that much unless they're CIB.

If you define testing the game for functionality as "playing", then I've played every single game I have, too. But I think he really wants to know which games we've spent time enjoying, not just testing. Edited: because I'm a moron.

Oh, oops. I missed the part about starting with nothing ... In that case, I would definitely start with a Heavy 2600 with a full complement of controllers, and a Harmony cart. The total for that should be around $120. Then I'd take my wife out to a nice dinner and movie with the remaining $80, thanking her all the while for letting me blow the first $120! Going the most economical route, I might get a ColecoVision with a few CV games, and 2600 expansion module. That'd probably be about $100-120. Then spend the other $80 on the Harmony.

I have quite a few systems, bxut really a very small library of gsmes for them. I think I'd try to fill out my SD carts for them. I already have carts for my 2600, CV and Genesis. I may try to invest in SNES and N64. As much as I'd like to get one for my Intv, I'm afraid that ship has sailed, at least for a while.

Still have my address? Just mail them to me and I'll take pics of 'em for you!

^^^ He, however, does want to see your boobies.

... no, Rev, I'm not talking about your boobies. I want to see the mountains of Intv consoles you guys have hoarded from the rest of the world! DO IT!

Gosh, Voltron, you've collected fast! I'd slow down just a bit. It really isn't a race to the finish. Just take your time and enjoy it.

This does indeed look very cool, and I'm in support of the project. I wouldn't mind playing Angry Birds on the big TV every now and then, or even Mahjongg, and I'm sure emulators will be all over this thing! Top that off with NetFlix and other online services, and it's definitely worth the buy. And I'm all for open-source and hacking. However, as I tend to be a late adopter, I will probably wait until I get feedback from the world on how well it actually works, and let them work out some of the kinks.

I'm actually in the same boat as you. Married, kids, with things to do that fill up my time. But I do manage to squeak in 15-30 minutes before dinner usually to hit a classic game or two.

I primarily collect games and consoles to play. However, just because I got a game in a lot doesn't mean I'll play it. Sports games get very little attention from me. I have SD carts for many of my systems, so the actual carts for those systems will be stored. But I'll still try to receive games for those consoles, especially if they're games I like.

Ah.

What is the HSC?
