What is the most reliable, a slimline PS2 or the old fat PS2?

[What is the most reliable, a slimline PS2 or the old fat PS2?]

In my home, we have a "Fatty" PS2 in the game room and a slimline PSTwo in the bedroom. The slimline has two major flaws that prevent it from being used as the primary system:

 

1) It's not compatible with the PS2 hard drive, which is not much of a loss considering how few games support that anyway and

 

2) the irritating, always-present fan noise. Unlike the fatty, the PSTwo does not have a true on/off switch. So, as long as it's drawing some

sort of voltage, the internal fan runs just a little bit. Very, very irritating. My final solution was just to unplug it when it's not in use. Fine for the bedroom, but no way would I ever want to monkey around with it for serious gaming.

[Atari 2600 and 36 Games - keep or sell?]

Define "worth anything". No, they're not worth nearly what they were 20 years ago. However, to someone who might be starting an Atari collection, you've given them a great starting point. If the system is in good working order, I'd say you could pull about $50 depending on what the shipping costs were.

 

I've been looking for a starter setup myself. I'd make you an offer, were I not dead broke...

[Best FMV games (any system, any genre, any era)]

Hi all,

 

I know the Full-Motion Video genre has had its share of

disdain, but from what it did produce, what were the better

games? Why? What did these games do that couldn't be done

in a more traditional genre?

[Game Boy Advance-- why the case design change with the SP?]

I have the original GB, original GBA and the DS, skipped the Color and SP entirely. I liked the vertical layout of the SP only because it matched the orginal GB's layout (which I was already used to). For all other purposes, I prefer my original GBA, which is why I never upgraded. I'm in the minority that actually liked the reflective unlit screen.

 

But yeah, the flip design made the system more pocket-friendly.

[New Classic Gaming Stuff (opinions wanted)]

Hi All

 

I've been tossing around the idea of taking GodsLabRat.com and making it (in part) a studio for classic gaming

gear. This plan is still in its infancy, but I wanted to start collecting feedback early. I thought a good baby

step would be to try a line of classic gaming shirts. Could you guys check out my stuff and tell me what you think?

Again, this is just the first in what I hope will be a full-fledged classic gaming line.
