TT350 Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 Does anyone remember the NeoGeo? Games were £120 even in the mid 90s! Quote
Ekona Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 Does anyone remember the NeoGeo? Games were £120 even in the mid 90s! And wasn't the console £400? Still, arcade perfect versions of SF2 ripoffs Quote
MrLizard Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 chaos engine, stunt car racer and skid marks were favourites of mine ... oh the memories... Quote
Fodder Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) Amiga 600. Cannon Fodder. Epic. My forum name is sort of derived from Cannon Fodder. Early days of online gaming I typically played as 'Private Pike' (MOHAA mainly) when I switched to console gaming that name had already been taken so my LIVE gamer tag was my school nickname and fodder due to me being rubbish at gaming and the fact I loved the game back in the day.... when it came to the forum I wanted to remain somewhat anonymous so dropped my nickname bit which is basically my surname with 'sey' appended Edited due to mistakenly giving out my 'love' gamer tag Edited June 28, 2017 by Fodder 1 Quote
Stutopia Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 Anyone have the Mega-CD? Or the 32X? I heard you were Mega Seedy back then. Has it changed? 3 Quote

Ekona Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 I can see why they didn't sell many, didn't realise it was that much. MD was £130 + Sonic when I got mine, SNES was £150 + SMW but dropped to £130 to match it. Eventually it was £99 for the console and one controller but no games, for both. Quote
Jay84 Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 I've taken pictures of this thread so I can show the SO how much of a bargain the new Xbox is by comparison. Quote
TT350 Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 Mental. I wonder why it was so expensive. The worst console I had and the biggest mistake I made in acquiring it, was the Atari Jaguar. Being a huge Alien fan, I swapped my Amiga for it so I could play Alien Vs Predator. I had 100s of games for it and traded everything for a Jaguar with ONE game. Quote

Jay84 Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 Already got the silent treatment because the bits needed (yes needed) on the Zed, splitter spoiler HU etc. Probably shouldn't set her off again for a while. 1 Quote

Jay84 Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 True she is. And she took me back so I should be nice to her. Quote
Zeezeebaba Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) Errm I had an Atari with a light gun Then a Sinclair ZX spectrum followed by a Commodore 64. Then I started working for a living and left the toys behind. My little brother had a Megadrive and would badger me tirelessly to help him collect gold rings, oh joy. When he did aquire a Nintendo I did secretly enjoy Mario Kart battle mode Edited June 28, 2017 by Zeezeebaba Quote
Jay84 Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 You see Zeezee, Ive got old but not grown up, so still have my toys. Multiplayer is good on games and sociable until the fighting starts. Quote
Ekona Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 I'm never growing up, ever. I can't imagine a time without me playing video games, even if I do drift back and forth between consoles and PCs. Quote
Jay84 Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 Never been in to PC gaming. Every now and again I'll see a PC game that makes me jealous, but the constantly evolving tech and need for upgrade frightens me. Last PC games I played were Mech warrior 3 and Star Wars x-wing alliance. Quote

Ahh now when GT came out I reaquired my interest and bought a PS1. Gave up after the PS3 though. Anyway my boy loves gaming he's still got every console made , I kid you not.

Jay84 Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 GT was ace. Was in my eyes the defining (oh no that word again) modern racing sim. 1 Quote
Zeezeebaba Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 GT was god, the amount of times me and a mate would start playing early evening and before you knew it it was 4am! 1 Quote
Jay84 Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 Even having to get a license to race was a genius idea on the game. I know its a bit off topic, but Resident Evil 1 on PS1 was a fave of mine and I'd love a remastered version on a modern console. I always ended up going other peoples house when they had a snes and had the i want what you have jealousy, but i think if I had the nes i'd feel the same about MD's. Oh wait duck hunt. Duck hunt is the game I always wanted. Quote
Flex Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) My mates used to play till 1-3am (at my house) I do wonder what their parents thought we were doing Edited June 28, 2017 by Flex 1 Quote
