Hiya!
I've got pretty much every console released since 1987 (except a PC Engine or Turbografx - sore point!) and up until the Xbox/PS2/Gamecube era bought and played most of the high profile, and lots of the obscure, games.
I am a little addicted to buying and owning all this stuff, as unlike most other artforms, a lot of old games will simply just disappear, at least on the original system it came out on.
I now have a Xbox 360, Wii and PS3 which have a decent selection of games.
My Dreamcast collection is basically sorted (essentially all I needed were Shenmue 1 and 2, Powerstone, MSR and PSO).
What I have missed out on are the original Xbox, GC and PS2, and to some extent, PC from 2000-now.
Now I know a lot of old games are essentially obsolete, stuff like football and other sport games, but I think that there are loads of classics that I have missed out on and should probably get, with a view to finishing them sometime in the next decade! Generally I'm thinking of games that were platform specific or great updates of PS1 era games.
So, what do you recommend? I have already made a list of ones that I already have or know about, but would welcome your thoughts on what I should buy. Given that Game and Gamestation are now selling games from these platforms at about £2-5 each, £50 ought to go a long way!
Xbox
Halo
Halo 2
Prince of Persia 1, 2 and 3
Forza 1 (already completed)
MGS 3
Gamecube
Rogue Squadron 2
Resident Evil
Metroid
PS2
Maybe nothing as pretty much everything decent is multiplatform and has either come out on the Xbox, Xbox 360 or PS3?
Thanks
