Re: What old / retro computers and consoles do you currently own

Car boot sales from when I was in my early teenage years. I remember cycling from South Shields to cullercoats with a friend and coming home with a back pack full of games and 2 carrier bags of spectrum bits precariously balanced on my handlebars! I've got a good few games for the speccys, and some C=64 games, but not alot for anything else, tend to try and find tape recordings from the internet or BASIC games to type in.

I don't play columns anymore due to the fact that it is so flaming addictive, you just lose too many hours on the thing, problem is the same thing has happened with bejewelled 2 on the mac, thankfully the game automatically saves when you shut down.

im sure you will play columns again mate.
it must be good and if you want to pass a few houes its perfect for that.

It was all about the Amiga 600. Street Fighter 2 always looked better on an Amiga than the Megadrive. I couldn't have been so skilled at SF2 without the dedication and practice on this game...

Still have all my old comps/consoles. Not always the originals though, some have had to be replaced as time and overuse has caught up with them:

Phillips Videopac (non-working)
Atari 2600 (non-working)
ZX81
ZX Spectrum
ZX Spectrum +2
Sega Master System
Sega Mega Drive
Nintendo SNES (never had a NES)
Sega Saturn
Playstation
Playstation 2
Xbox
Xbox 360
Numerous PC's if they count, most have been cannibalised for bits.

Cheers,
