I hate Modern Consoles and Love '2600 *LONG*

[Ross PK]

Yeah, I only buy games that I can see myself playing forever too. And because of this, I've got some what I consider to be real modern classics, like Powerstone, Streetfighter III 3rd Strike, GTA III, the Sonic games, etc.

 

As for learning the buttons on a controller I've never had a problem with it. I know it's boring sitting there reading a manual but I never do that, I just figure it out as I go along, it only takes about 10 seconds to know the basics, eventually you'll have figured out all the buttons and if there's something I'd really like to know how to do when I've got into the game more, I'll just refer to the manual.

I only play my PS2 because I fear that my older consoles will break.

 

When Im on, Im either playing Sonic Mega Collection, GTA-whatever,

Activision Anthologey, or the Namco Museum.

 

Gonna be picking these up soon too.

Get 'em out and play! That's what they're meant for. If you're talking about older cartridge-based systems, chances are they'll be up and running long after the multitude of moving parts in your PS2 have self-destructed.

Heck, if they're running now chances are they've already outlasted a good few PS2s.

I love all my consoles just as much as the others...but i do dote on the Atari, NES, and SMS more than the newer ones. Games back then were always funner, always will be. But when it comes to new consoles PS2 onwards (I'll never get a Wii or PS3...I don't have $700 extra dollars lying around)...I think the best game made that has had me addicting and drooling for the sequel is Guitar Hero. Being a guitar player for 12 years, I decided to pick this game up just as a novelty. Boy...was I friggin shocked. I never liked 'Keep the Beat' type games until this. I play the Guitar Hero 2 demo like theres no tommorrow. I know the final song build is up and I'm glad they put Hangar 18 in it (big Megadeth fan here) but I was hoping for some more 70s and good 80s. I was really wanting some Ratt, more David Bowie, Foreigner. Also wanted more metal...like Dying Fetus, Skinless, Between the Buried and Me, etc. .....boy, that was a long Guitar Hero rant.....ATARI RULES

I just noticed that the Xbox box looks like an old trackball controller. Before I looked closely I thought that was a picture of your VCS with perephrials.
