I picked up an N64 last week, and somehow ended up with another one. So I get a bunch of games for it that I used to have, even though they weren't very good. Games like shadows of the empire, cruisin' usa, etc. I had to look REAL hard for doom 64, which is probably my favorite port of the game. Even though I can only play it at night time because the game is so dark.
So yeah, all in all I spend nearly 200 bucks on getting various things (50 on the second n64 i bought which came with an expansion pack and about 10 games). I had to get extra controllers for goldeneye as well.
What happens this week? My friend sells me a Dreamcast really cheap. So what do I do? I go out and buy more vmu's and some games for it. I had never owned a DC before so I didn't know exactly what to get. I did end up with a number of fighting games as well as worms armageddon and bust a move 4. I am completely amazed by this system. the visuals are so crisp. the Ps2 does a way worse job of anti-aliasing. It really makes me sad that this system went under. the VMU's were quality and should be implemented in some form or fashion into the next gen systems.
I was REALLY close to buying a saturn the other day as well, but i declined since the guy wanted outrageous prices for his games. I think my next console acquisition will be a 3DO.
Some of you may ask why I bought these. It's simple. Much like music, I can relate video games to a particular time in my life. The 64 reminds me of my junior-senior years of high school, staying up late playing goldeneye and wcw/nwo world tour with friends-which carried on into my college years whenever I would come home for the weekend. The DC is fond to me because of a friend who had one at college. We would sit and play worms for hours.
The down side of the whole thing is that I have to find room for the Dreamcast in my living room. I had everything arranged perfectly until it game along. Heh.

Cool, old consoles rock.
You really should have gotten a Saturn. It's an amazing system, the only downside being that the really great games are now pretty expensive.

I wish my firend would sell me his Saturn. He mabey only played it for 12 hours. And I wouldn't call DOOM 64 a port.
I too like old consoles. For some reason I have three NES that don't work. I think the NES may be the most fragile system (Disregarding the PS2) ever made.

Yeah you're right. Doom 64 really isn't a port.
Ok, back to marvel vs capcom 2 =D

That's awesome, I own two Dreamcast systems. It reminds me of my freshman college days ... while everyone was dropping mad cash into the pathetic PS2 launch ... I was getting the Dreamcast on its way out. Some games you need to find are: - Soul Calibur - Dead or Alive 2 - Cannon Spike - Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 - Ferrari F355 Challenge - Phantasy Star Online ( this game will never be experienced again on Dreamcast the way it was when seganet was huge and the servers were full) - Metropolitan Street Racer - Skies of Arcadia - Street Fighter Alpha 3 (best port) - Resident Evil: Code Veronica Good thing for you is ... a lot of these made it to the PS2 so if you can't "find" them for DC... |

- Skies of Arcadia On a side note, if there's an RPG that's as good as Chrono Trigger in my opinion, it's Skies of Arcadia. It's available on the Gamecube nowadays, btw. |

I used to have a Jaguar with Aliens vs Predator and Doom. Ahead of its times and yet managed to create amazingly boring enviroments.

I really want my 3DO back. I got rid of it in one of my many moves, and have regretted it ever since. I miss the 3DO version of Road Rash so damn much.

N64 kicks ass.  Last year I started looking for N64 games. Everywhere I went they were under $10 each. Awesome. BTW, I think all games should be under $10.  |

I remember playing Cruisin' USA and Goldeneye a lot.
And I also remember my cousin having a Sega Saturn. I played Virtua Fighter on it.
But he ended up selling or breaking it I think.

I LOVE MY 32X!
Virtua Racing Deluxe, Shadow Squadron, Motocross Championship, and Knuckles Chaotix FUCKING RULE!
I'm getting a Sega CD 2 from a buddy at school with a pristine copy of Sonic CD next week. Can't wait, I've been wanting one since 1998.

I just got Daikatana for the N64. It's pretty cool, but not near as good as the PC version.
