Favorite Old Gaming System

[Arsenal28]

Mr307 visited me in Buffalo a couple of months ago and brought with him an original Nintendo and about 40 games or so. Needless to say we went through a large amount of beer and relived our childhood all over again. Then, just two days ago a golf buddy of mine showed me an original Atari all hooked up and ready to play. So it got me thinking about the old gaming systems. Obviously the graphics weren't the best but I just love playing the old systems. So I just want to see which one we all like the best.

I definitely vote for Nintendo. I have had all four systems at one point or another but Nintendo is by far my favorite. I just love all the games and all the little cheats that you could do to make the games even better.

I definitely agree eej. But any sytem I played in college isn't old school enough for me. Goldeneye was a great game and Mariokart might be the best racing game ever.

Damn, I actually remember playing that at my parent's friend's house. I think only had like three games or something. I remember some missle game, tennis, and....bowling? maybe?

mariokart was and still is my all time favorite game. I think it would be really really cool if we could all get together and have an online mariokart competition, that would be that chit right there. nintendo will always have a special place in my gamers heart, but im am gonna have to go with the playstation as it had so many more racing games, which is my fav type game.

this is my time and boy i must have put in one hundred thousands hours into this system,mario bros had the most of my time.but i think it was the best system ever,and the one in time now will never match up.i mean grapics no,but just game play,gamers have to look at the past at some of those game and make the grapics better,but keep the game simple for the kids.
truth is the games now a days i dont play and i wish i was as good a w as when i was i young lad,im dodo now and everyone beats me.so bring back some of the games of my glory days so i can take back my title,and put my skills back on display.

I think back to all my systems and nintendo was like a real eye opener!! then moved onto super nintendo and thats were things got crazy,I had hockey tourneys that got out of hand lmao,, yes things got broken!! then first playstation was amazing!! the graphics just grabbed me and the realizm of it was quite the experience!! then the wholly grail (at the time) was playstation 2!! I think I stayed up for a month straight working and gaming nothing else lol the hockey,, the helicopters,,the sports,, shooters like max payne,,and the racing omg they all rocked!! I still have most of those systems with a ton of games each!! but now its all computer I cant stop myself,, video card upgrades every day seems like lol,, motherboard upgrades,, flat panel monitor,, hardrive ect ect it has gotten out of hand but love it too much,, my next one will be liquid cooled this one is the first one I have overclocked and she gets hot!!would have been alot cheaper to get ps3 but cant shake the computer yet!! and I wonder why girlfriends hate me lmao

I would have to say Nintendo. Back in the day I used to buy, sell, and trade Nintendo and Sega. I had three phone numbers in my house, one to buy with, one to sell with, and one for family and friends. I was one of the first people in the states to have a tv with a nintendo built in. I was also one of the first to have 250 games on one cartridge. I had a nintendo room set up in my house when people could try a game before they bought it. I had alot of traffic back then, it had to look funny, but it was just Nintendo. I would run ads in the newspaper to buy and sell. I always had cash back then, always a roll. One year for Christmas, I gave my little brothers and sisters, a couple Ninendo systems and 52 games. They went crazy like mad little children running thru the house screaming. I was the best big sister! I got all the "first" in the states because I rented one of my rooms to a Japanese golf pro. When he would go home, he would stock up and mail me my inventory. The 250 games in one....cost me $5. Huge profit margin, I always sold out. Parents loved that game and so did the kids. I even sold super mario clocks. You should see a phone bill from the states to Japan. It was over $1,000 I freaked out and my roommate said calm down, wrote me a check and paid for all of my calls too. His name was Andy Wada and I miss him, he was a very good roommate! Rent was always on time! After a while I had to quit my little side business because it got too scary. People would show up late at night. Some people would come and stay for hours. I got very lucky I didn't get hurt or robbed.
