The Retro Gaming Thread

[DaveDreads]

The PS1 looked fine on my TV, even used the old 3 colour plugs without a converter, looked exactly like it did back in the day.

The N64 I bought off a mate in the 90's for peanuts, purely so I'll always have a copy of Goldeneye, I think I've got Legend of Zelda too, graphics aren't as sharp as a PS1.

I've got enough kit to have proper 90's style retro setup, eventually I'll have a crt to play then on for extra authenticity.

Good CRT’s are getting expensive and hard to come by these days.

I know, old c*nts like me want to relive their childhoods, I used to throw them out of windows for a laugh ffs.

Just had a quick Google at them and couldn't believe the prices!

I’ve been proper nerding out about them, would love an old Trinitron and watched this the other day. Imagine trying to shift a 36” CRT 😳

Also keeping on topic of handhelds this one looks pretty good!

Immortal / dead / dead
I don't think any of them apply to me.

I'm 50 you c*nt, not Tootankamun.

I still have my new 3ds xl in the house with box etc
They fetch stupid money for some reason. I only realised when I saw one in window at CEX other week

I will probably keep it for the lads to play with when they are older.

I really hope I can get them into game boy era pokemon with link cable trading too

Saw that when it first came out, bloody awesome story/video 🤣

I got about 3 mins in before the 8 week old hysterically crying (again) so turned it off. Try again another time 🙃

Im going to buy one of these (maybe) which looks very similar:

I've checked into it some more and they are both identical devices!

R36Max or R36s. I've gone down a terrible rabbit hole and gone from sending £50 to £300 😂 🤦‍♂️

What have you gone for?

What have you gone for?

Sorry I worded that wrong. I am still up indecision street and have not bought anything yet but I reckon it will be that 3DS one you linked above, or possibly the ANBERNIC RG Cube but that Ayn Thor 3DS thing is properly cool.

I'm deep into working out what operating system to use for the dual screens to work on the game thing I haven't even bought 😂

Have a gander at the Retroid pockets too.



That Ayn Thor does look cool as f**k mind.
