    Im super attached to my ps2 stuff and built an arcade cabinet so I was wondering if anyone else likes older game stuff still or if any youger peeps are interested in that style of thing. Maybe Im just weird or nostalgic. 3760769b-75a8-4730-b5f5-df74ae0b83aa.png

    Can I just say, that looks fricking amazing!

    I'm 13 and I love using the original Playstation. I love the games and the design of it and I want to buy a PS4 with the original skin.

    I have a game boy advance game but I only have a DS to play it on since my brother took back his Gameboy Advance. The DS is my Sisters and is pink which I hate but she hasn’t used it in about 10 years and I have several games for it. I also bought her Pink PlayStation 2 off her. I have an Xbox 360 and a Wii U which aren’t too old. The PlayStation 2 broke years ago. I’d kill for another one with all the Singstar games and Crash Team Racing.

    I'm pretty interested in video game history and retro gaming. I used to buy old consoles that needed repair and tinker around/fix them, it's really neat to see the progression in technology over the years from a hardware sense.

    Also it's kind of weird to hear the PS2 is considered retro... ha. Time flies.

    My dad would marry you, most likely.

    I remember my old games fondly, but I have yet to resurrect a 90s era console or computer.

    I am into old games, I like to play NES and SNES games. I also love old fps games, in fact my favorite game i’d say is Monolith’s “Blood” I have been playing that for years. I enjoy DOOM and Quake also. I also was into making (not so good) WADS for DOOM for a good little while.

    I can't stand older games though. I have NOO idea how I used to spend hours playing older games. Trying to at this point gives me a headache with the amount of pixels and lags. Insane

    i play on original consoles, like my gamecube, nes, or snes, as much as possible, but i want to know your thoughts on emulators, i just recently got an atari emulator from fye, and the games are probably pretty close to original, but without the hassle of the original cartridges, but it seems too good, you know. like, the games look to good, and that kinda thing, it just doesn't have the same feel.

    Or you can run an emulator, unless the whole fun is in repairing old stuff. Linux runs some old stuff if you install Wine. But you have to get a Linux, which might be tinkering in itself.

    Abso-fricken-lutely. I have a GameCube that I absolutely love and I’m planning on having a whole old console collection once I get the money to do so.

    Also OP, that looks amazing!!!

    Hell yeah :slight_smile: I've got a ps1 and one of my roommates has a gamecube. Most weeknights involve Mario Party or Tony Hawk around our place :slight_smile: Older consoles have a certain charm

    My parent still have my old NES. I need to get that from them. I didn’t own a heck of a lot of games because I rented a lot though. I rode my bike to a video rental store every weekend. Man, I feel old. Lol

    Wow, that’s cool. Do you ever remember the tables you could sit down at? Very popular in the mid/late 80’s. Yes - I’m THAT old.
