I never pay any more than $2AUS for a loose 2600 cart unless it's something that's honestly worth a bit of cash. That's all they're worth to me.

Just scored a Sega Saturn, any known problems I should know down the track? Motors going out? Controller issues? Anything?

I just throw mine in a box, they are organised in a way that there's only few that i'd ever play, so they're naturally on top.

I should have probably mentioned that this was in Australian dollars, the games are normally $70 a piece.

I tried to play Dwarf Fortress, even read the bazillion page manual for the damn thing. Still couldn't make heads or tails. But ADOM is badass.

Scored some great deals today. Walking past EB games and I thought I'd stop in. They had a few DS games MEGA reduced. Phantasy Star 0 Golden Sun: Dark Dawn Dragon Quest IX Chrono Trigger All four for $100! These are gonna take me a while, and I only just recently picked up Xenoblade.

One thing to remember as well is that the Atari 2600 games aren't really designed to be played for long periods of time. So if you have a lot of time on your hands, maybe a couple more games would help.

These games were surely designed to break N64 analogue sticks. But I still play the games, just means I gotta repair my controllers every now and again.

While not terrible, I certainly don't think they're great. A few games of Mario Party and they're stuffed.

Exactly what I was going to say

i would've been damn keen for this, if I owned a Vectrex

Hey guys, title and description say it all. Wanted to buy is a Vectrex within Australia. I'd also be willing to trade on some items. Let me know your (fair) price. Thanks!

I always perform terrible if playing games with no sound.

I have a strange PAL cart of Super Mario Bros. NES that runs slower than normal.

115,260 Finally had an excuse to play this game after all these years. New score, 138,850

I'm not sure what the computer was, but I work for an automotive group. Up until a few years ago you could see the exact same computers we'd use in advertisements for the company in magazines... printed in 1987.

Ha! Saved me time asking the question myself. Thanks for the links, guys.

Back when I was in university I had a day off, spent all day playing Banjo Kazooie on the N64. Now normally, I'm a freak when it comes to saving my games, I just HAVE to constantly do it. 8 hours into my game, it froze, and I realised I'd never saved the game once.

Whilst Pac-Man is a terrible port, it is far from a terrible game. Pac-Man gets my vote.

I never had a Dreamcast on release, I never even had any interest. The console wars of the 90's still burned in my belly. But six years ago a coworker came to work one day with two bags in his arms. "What you got there?" I asked, not interested, just being polite. I hear him reply "I'm trying to sell this Dreamcast thing." My ears twitched, and he instantly saw that I was all of a sudden interested in what he was saying. One Dreamcast, two controllers, one VMU and a bit over 200 "backups" of games. That night was my first experience with Dreamcast, it's still one of my constant set up consoles.

Bargain! Video Pinball is the steal of this deal.

Freakin' rad!

Honestly, I can't remember. It's hard finding information about these old handhelds. What I do remember is that unlike terms like VFD, LCD, LED, the LSI is not referring to the graphical interface, but instead the logic of the programming.

Oh, and I also collect VFD games.

Hey guys, Thought I should introduce myself. I'm from Tassie. I used to collect all sorts, just gotten into 2600 collecting. Console collection list huh? -2600 (not working) -NES -SNES -Master System 2 (I got a few of these so if anyone wants one, PM me) -Megadrive 1 & 2 (Ditto) -MegaCD -Dreamcast -Atari XEGS -Gameboy, Colour, Advance, SP -N64 -Game Gear -PS2 -Wii -DS, 3DS I'm always looking to trade online, I'm currently looking at getting rid of a bit of stuff to make room for 2600 gear.
