    I think that the used the rounded top of ps3 to prevent people putting stuff ontop of it. I see a lot of people putting consoles like the ps3 or xbox360 inside a cupboard and placing stuff on top of it. This is bad for the system since it cannot get rid of it's heat. Look at gaming pc's, they need lots of fans to keep it cool. You just can't place that many fans into a system that is suppost to be in the living room. Every tried watching a dvd on a first gen xbox360. U have to set your speakers very loud, if you don't want to hear the disc spinning.

    That's pretty interesting. I just youtubed armour force and vex. Vex is like a tetris and armour force is a space shooting guy lol. It's on the gameplay quality of original Gameboy. I would nab if I seen at a yardsale or thrift cheap but probably not buy outright.

    Armour force is a nice game. But due to the ghosting of the screen it's hard to play, just like the gameboy.

    Eh, deep shame, back when i was 16 or so i got a commodore cm8296. Tried cleaning it up and playing a bit with it, but then i didn't have intrest, so i trew it away.

    Also gave away a amiga 1000 that i thought didn't work, not knowing i had to use a kickstart disk on this machine.

    Gave away 3 ibm ps/2 386 with mca cards.

    Sold my near mint complete in box gamegear and games.

    And trew away a philips :yes a 80186 pc. Didn't work and i didn't try fixing it.

    Also got rid of my adlib compatible 8 bit soundcard, and my original 12mb voodoo 2.

    I also had a big collection of 8088, 8086 and compatible processors. Think i also trew them away.

    Sad sad very sad when i think about it.

    I'm happy that i was old enough to enjoy the start of the 8 bit machines. It was so cool to go to friends and play their computer. Since there was a lot of choice, you came in touch with a lot of different systems. Not the borring stuff we have today, with pratically only one hardware platform, the x86 platform.

    I do enjoy playing emulators, but i love the feel of the real stuff. Loading tapes and playing with floppy's. Or even typing in code to play on my zx81.

    I really don't know, or care. I love every little system i own. And can't say any of them are worst. I like the systems as they are. Even the least favorit system has something that makes it unique in my opition.

    But it's all about personal taste. I love my cd-i system, it get more game play then my nes and snes combined together. Doesn't mean the nes or snes are bad, but i just love systems that wheren't mainstream.

    Love those machines. I recently bought a commodore pc-1, the atari pc1 compatitor. Don't know if the atari pc1 was compatible with atari st pheriperals, could be since a atari st floppy drive isn't that much different from a pc drive.

    The commodore pc-1 could use amiga pheriperals. I used a amiga cd1411 diskdrive on my pc-1 so i could use 3.5" dd disk with the system. You can also connect a amiga mouse to the pc-1.

    Here is a German article on both the commodore pc-1 and atari pc1

    I picked up a ps/2 tower back in the day that had mca. It had a mca hdd controller, mca graphics card. Ran os/2 warp 4.0 on it. It was a nice system. When i moved i gave them to a friend of mine (also had 2 desktop ps/2 systems.) Sadly, now i have place for them and would love to get them back, but he put the systems to the trash.

    In Dallas, TX the Magnavox game system seem strangely common. I remember two growing up, one with a friend down the street as we played Pick Axe Pete and KC Munchkin. I remember that there was the controversy over KC Munchkin so we felt privileged to have the game and play this Pac-Man clone on the game system.

     

    Later my cousins had an Odyssey 2 at a Thanksgiving at my grandmothers. I remember playing Quest for the Rings for hours.

     

    To me the Odyssey 2 had very responsive sounds. Always bigger and slightly blockier graphics than the 2600, but fun.

     

    Over the years since the 80's I have seen other Odyssey 2 game systems in flea markets and around the area. A friend found one and bought it for me for Christmas a few years back.

    If i'm correct, i think the Odyssey2 manufacturer plant was situated in Texas. Could explain why they can be found more easy over there. Plant workers buying on for there kids.

    Many people seem to forget that the o2 was on par with the 2600 the first 2 years. Games on the 2600 didn't look that more better then the o2 games did. But after these first years, and after the massive support of third party developers things took of on the 2600 side. Resulting in better looking games, because of better programming.

    I think that if the o2 had had the same support form other developers, it to would have had better looking games, just look at the graphics of revival studio games to see what the o2 is capable of.

    I kinda dove myself nuts looking for store bought shelves for games and then I stumbled on this guy's video:

    Just build them. I had a bare wall in one of my walk in closets, took measurements, cut wood, painted it and tah dah! I had a shelving system for under $20 and less then 4 hours work.

    Looks great, but the shelf look a bit to small for the boxes. I would have made them double the width. I'm afraid i would bump off stuff.
