When I posted the pics earlier in this thread you may have noticed that the last one showed a two-piece bar unit... the bar unit on the left with the sliding doors is packed full of those very Edge magazines! LOL! :tonguewink:

Some of the PC games I dug out over the weekend. Definitely an era never to be repeated - certainly in a mainstream way, anyway. The packaging, the manuals, the accessories - really only matched by the high-end specialist collections these days. One of the downsides with the market trends of online libraries and streaming, I guess.
At a 27MB install, this filled a huge chunk of my 52MB Quantum hard drive, back in the day.
Such demanding specifications too!
My first game ever bought for the PC, back in November 1992. I'll never sell it, though worryingly I don't know where disk 2 is?!
Some more....

Awesome thread. Fully geek'd out. Love it [emoji7]
Would have been cool to keep my old consoles instead of selling when the new model came out.
Only old one I've kept is original xbox, even that looks archaic now [emoji23]
Adored my Sega Saturn!
Lol at the wind waker price!! One of my all time favourite games that [emoji7] [emoji7] [emoji7]

Always wanted a neo geo too at the time, but don't even know what one is now [emoji23]
My Saturn was my favourite too. It was stuff of dreams for me.... Be able to play all of the best arcade games with no time or money constraints, all in the comfort of you own bedroom!! [emoji7] [emoji106]
Virtua cop 1 and 2, house of the dead, daytona USA, Sega f**king rally!, Isle of man tt. Amaze.
Shame in comparison to PS the games releases were thin on ground. Games were few and far between.
The nail in my Saturn's coffin was that they didn't release GTA on it... It was immediately sold and a PS bought.
Never liked the PS though bar GTA and switched to xbox soon after.

LOL! I did have a Neo-Geo many moons ago but it got water damaged and I never replaced it
Basically it was (and still can be!) an expensive cartridge-based arcade system. It was produced by SNK and the hardware was found in many arcades all over the world. If you could afford a Neo-Geo back in the day you were a proper baller and effectively had a full-on arcade machine at home! As already hinted at, the hardware was not cheap and the games weren't exactly cheap either...Ah right. Sounds great.
Speaking of arcade games, God I loved golden axe! Can get it on the app stores. Good fun.
Some great collections by people on here BTW. [emoji106] Keep the pics coming. Especially of Sega Saturn collections
Have people seen the nes systems they've released now? Not the same I know but for a cheap bit of nostalgia it'd be great crack
Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System (Electronic Games) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01IFJEWTM/?tag=cliospnet01-21
Just seen their also making a mega drive too that you can use the original cartridges in too. 50 quid is a bargain!

Love reminiscing on gaming memories.
As Darren said earlier, the days where pc games came boxed, rather than in a dvd case/streamed online, were great.
I loved going through the manuals, artwork and maps etc. Some of the packaging was amazing quality.
I used to keep all the discs in blank cd cases I'd buy and keep the boxes tucked away.
I went in my dad's attic the other day to clear it out and found load of my classic pc games. Sadly I discovered my dad threw out the game discs in the cd cases, so was left with empty boxes! [emoji20] [emoji20] They ended up being thrown too as their useless without the actual games.

Copyright protection (circa 'good old days')... Open manual, page 4, paragraph 2, word 7. Spin dial left to align blue monster with word 7. Type the word shown in the lower dial at the prompt on screen. Or something like that.

That was an excellent game for the time. I remember how the balls would sprout arms and eyes and taunt you if you took too long lining up a shot! And the easter egg that enabled the computer to make a maximum break. Good times
Lol. This brought back so many memories!! My poor parents must have spent a fortune on games [emoji23]
As well as the obvious games.... I remember aliens trilogy fondly. Die hard trilogy was actually fairly meh, but I enjoyed it loads! Mass destruction was awesome too. The burning rangers game was amazing! I watched another Saturn video and remember another load on that too.

Doom ftw
Yeah, of course doom, quake, Duke nukem etc [emoji41] [emoji106] Utterly adored Duke nukem. Just Googled and Totally forgot about Duke nukem :time to kill on PS. God... All these memories flooding back [emoji41]
One of my favourites on Saturn was loaded and re loaded. Wow, I played those nuts games too much!
Loved panzer dragoon games. Stuff like nights into dreams was good fun, even though it was quite different. Which is why Saturn was good. Had some quirky, exclusive games.
Anyway, I'm turning this into a Sega Saturn appreciation thread [emoji23] sorry.
Yes, I now have Saturn's on my ebay watch list

Whilst not the oldest game in my collection this is by far the rarest and most valuable item I have. I know of only 3 original prototype / development cartridges that were ever made (I put them together myself) and somehow at least one made it into the public domain. It's a very early build of the cancelled / unreleased version of Frogger 2 on the Nintendo N64 (circa 1998). I was lead programmer on the N64 version and this would also be the first commercial game I worked on. In addition to maintaining the (shortlived) N64 version I was also responsible for developing the 3D graphics engine that it used. Happy days. An original prototype cart sold on ebay for $2,700.
A quick / crappy video. It doesn't show much because the game was only weeks into development and the team developing it was still being put together! I remember putting it together and "Andy's Play Pen" :tonguewink: Sadly 99% of the content is not available as it required a hookup to pull data in directly from a devkit (for data that was not stored on the cart itself).

Can see that lol. There's a mountain of old games and consoles in the spare room. Just buried under everything. SNES, mega drive and got 2 N64s. One of them pristine and boxed. Funnily enough was working on a boiler in some old biddys loft a couple of weeks ago and saw that lot. She said it was her sons from when he was younger, and I asked if I could have it. Offered her some cash but she said it for free lol. Hense why it's at the top and visible. Moving house soon so will be nice to have a sort through it all.
No nes though
Used to have one as a kid with a s**t ton of games. My mum bought games constantly when my dad left to try and keep me and my brother happy lol. If I remember correctly she sold it all at a car boot sale a long time ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Everything I got is pretty much donated. Would never spend what people ask for games and consoles. I simply don't think they're worth what people ask. 90% of everything is common as fook. Love it when I see on eBay saying RARE GAME, yet there are listing after listing of the same game. Not every game and console is worth a lot. Unless you're rocking an NTSC stadium events cart or a gold NWC. Then I'll shut up lol
Got some bits at car boots though. And the snes, mega drive and most the games came off someone at work years ago when he brought them in to chuck in the skip after a clear out at home lol

Me neither - I have a bit of a soft-spot for the N64 for obvious reasons! It was a great console

It's a shame the Atari Jaguar never caught on.
I've still got my Atari Lynx in the attic at my parents house somewhere! I was in awe of that handheld in the very early 90s. I recall a few mates had the original GameBoy and the Lynx just utterly trounced it in terms of game appearance and capability. You compared the likes of Tetris on the GameBoy to that of KLAX on the Lynx and the difference was comedic. Apart from the physical size of the Lynx, it was just the much superior device overall. Yet, it sold about 22 units in Europe.
Classic Atari. Brilliantly talented engineers with absolutely no idea of how to market and sell what they created.
Seems Nintendo struggle with all their consoles bar nes and snes, guess the n64 did quite well.
But game cube, wii etc just don't seem to take off fully.
The seem to be catering for younger gamers.
Which is a shame as Nintendo games ooze quality. Design, game play and visually their always utter quality! Zelda, Mario etc are so so good. Just not enough diversity in the available games to attract a wider audience.
I loved my game cube, shame the brilliant games were few and far between.

Recently had the urge to play Red Alert 2 and spent the last two days trying to find it in my house, I know it's somewhere!
Whilst on this search I found an old hard drive which contains an N64, Mega Drive and Snes emulator with pretty much every game. Though I'd lost that bad boy for good!

The only PC games I ever really played...

I loved the early C&C games! Tiberian sun was my favourite. I didn't like their 3d efforts. Wasn't the same.
Total Annihilation was amazing too! Carnage

What is it?Dug this out today, just need the N64 to go with it

C&C Zero Hour was the pinnacle of the series for me. Tried it again earlier in the year as its tied to my Origin account. It hasn't unfortunately, aged that well. I spent about 15 minutes on it then gave up. The whole genre has moved on somewhat.
