Recycled

Wish I would of been paying attention during the "crash." I had lost interest in gaming sometime in '83. Didn't get interested in it again until the early 90s when a friend of mine showed me his new Genesis.

Yea, I was going to say.....look at how much you get today compared to then. I feel much better with my Super Mario Odyssey purchase, than say, compared to my early 80's Pac-Man. (I know...not a fair comparison, but still....)

Yep. To tell you the truth, I'm just going with the flow. I'm 49.....I'm HOPING to be lucky enough to be around for 30 or 40 more years. I'm sure if I want to play video games in the future, there will be something I can use that will work. I'm not a collector, so archiving isn't really an issue for me. That's my plan for the long term.

I haven't bought a homebrew in quite sometime, but I really enjoyed Champ's Ladybug and Conquest of Mars. I played both to death when they were released. Actually, I liked Hunchy 2 as well. Now that I think about it, my top two are probably Ladybug and Oystron.

I'm glad I'm not a collector. All that stuff would drive me nuts.

I remember when my uncle bought the 2600 version right when it came out. I was taken with the arcade feel of the game and the really nice alien graphics. The game still looks great to me today.

No boss stage in the VCS version. Never played the INTV version. Always thought that boss looked great.

Tanooki, thanks for the info. I guess I can stop feeling I suck at modern games as I keep getting slaughtered.

Two. Both not working. a light sixer vcs and and a vader. Just using Flashbacks at this point, especially the portable.

I bought the Switch because of Mario Odyssey and portability. First "modern" console I've gotten since the PS2. Plus, being mainly a classic gamer, I wanted to play something new, since I haven't in years. The Switch appeared at the right time. Playing Doom right now. I'm not very good at it.

That Namco comp that is currently available for the Switch is kind of thin in my opinion for the price. I already own most of those games of course. If I didn't, I'd probably still buy it.

Yes! Arcade port of Vanguard!

I've got a couple broken 2600s and Colecovisions each that I will give to someone who can fix them, or use them for parts. Have to make it easy for me to get to them though.

For what it's worth....I've had no problems with mine at all. Hopefully, the defective ones are low in number.

I'm going to add an arcade port of Mr. Do! to the Arcade Archives wish list.

Moon Patrol would be nice. Haven't played the arcade version since back in the early 80's as well. Switch is the first modern console I've purchased since the ps2, Pretty excited about future releases.

I just downloaded Mario Bros. and Crazy Climber yesterday. Haven't played CC since the arcades in the early 80s. I'm enjoying both of them immensely. Hope there's more to come.

Pac-Man, Tron and Vanguard.

Boy, I'd sure like to find a cheap one here in the US as well. New ones are going for around $200. Which, of course, I'll take a pass on.

Respectfully, you seem like a nice guy, but are you a shill? Seriously?

I mean, I reserve the right to be wrong, but it just had hallmarks of a scam to me. Best to stay away.

Anybody else try this? You could have chosen either an NES or SNES to buy at retail. Just wondering. My gf tried it and didn't get a response.

That was supposed to be a secret: Console "Wood Fired Tacos."

Big fat scam that no one fell for.
