retro game consoles

[driver rider]

I had N64, dreamcast, ps2 and now 360.  The dreamcast was ahead of its time.  massively underrated better marketing would have shifted the console by the shipload!

Still have a ZX81, works too!

Atari 2600(?) was a great console, but the best game ever is Super Mario Kart.

I had the Atari 2600 with the wooden effect casing. Remember Pole Position being the first game I played were a car consisted of a grey rectangle with a white rectangle above it and 2 black squares for wheels either side. Things have changed a bit since then..

Asteroids on the 2600 was awesome!!!

On an entirely different note my Dad used to work for a company that supplied video games machines, juke boxes, fruit machines and pool tables to pubs and clubs in the late 70's and early 80's.

Quite often I would have a table top version of Galaxians or Pacman or even a small cabinet version of Battlezone at home in the garage. Some days during the summer hols I would go to work with him and he would just leave me in the workshop or in one of their demo suites for the day. 

Those were the days.

Loved the Atari with Asteriods. Still a blindingly addictive game now some 30 years later. Then had the Megadrive (for Sonic) with the 32X add on (for motor racing, not sure which game). Remember the 32x add on being £160 and at the time that was a HUGE amount of money for the thing. Remember the games being about £40 way back when!!!
Happy times.

I had the 32x, Virtua Racing FTMFW!

still got my Mega Drive and the Michael Jackson game - wonder how much that's worth now... might go look it up.

edit: not much apparently  

had a NES and SNES, but gave them to my cousins in India a long time ago - wonder if there's any hope of getting them back (assuming ofc that they still have them)

My god that's terrible but at the time I thought it was the mutts nuts and we would all sit round the TV in awe and wonder!!
