I might be the oldest person on these Forums (almost 52), so when I was a kid (and money was pretty tight), we didn't even have an Atari 2600. We had the Sears Tele-Games that played Atari 2600 Cartridges.
This whole thing is a great example of why John needs to add a FB style like button. ;)

Borrowed my friends dad's commodore 64 for a weekend, when i was 9 and i got a gameboy when i turned 11. Bought a second hand Sega Master system 2 with my own money the same year. Still have the Master system, and it works, played it yesterday.

I just picked up " MUNCHER " for my Bally Astrocade, an I am impressed on how close it is to an full arcade version when you look at what crap the 2600 version was for the times, plus its 4 player !
That Astrocade is sweet! I'd love to get my hands on one, but they are NOT cheap on eBay.

Why do you have 4 Wii's?
Because I can.
Saw a TurboGrafx in there. Got a spare one you don't want??

Yes, I changed my handle. I was never really happy with Vidiot.

I just got into the TurboGrafx 16. I remember seeing it at a friends house in the 90's, but didn't realize how cool it was back then. The shmups on the system such as Blazing Lazers and Super Star Soldier are fantastic. Also, I have been playing Cratermaze, trying to get a 1,000,000 point score.
On another note, has anyone had any experience with the Analogue CMVS? Its a really cool consolized MVS Neo Geo.
