Are there any retrogamers out here? I myself like the classic games from mid-eighties to eraly nineties best, esp. the glorious Arcadestuff and the Amiga, SNES, Sega Genesis etc. (I know, the amiga was not that popular in the states)
As well as the transpaortation to next gen consoles from these games. My fave games (to name just a few) being: Shock Troopers I & II (check it out if you like MERCS, Commando etc.!) To give an appetizer to Shock Troopers - here are a few pics: Metal Slug Gradius (all of them!) Bubble Bobble Metal Slug Thunder Force Shinobi GigaWing R-type DoDonpachi P-47 Thunderbolt Rainbow Islands New Zealand Story Midnight Resistance Turrican I & II (brilliant!) Ghouls´n Ghosts (terribly hard game!) generally I say "2D rocks - 3D sucks!" :-) Just gimme a straight 2D Shoot´Em Up with tons of extraweapons and I´ll be fine! Anyone else here who into that stuff?

That's one of the reasons I love the Wii's virtual console. Ability to have all of my favorite retro games on one system. I played predominately Turbo Grafix 16 and Sega Genesis, so that's where all my favorites lie.

Being an 80's kid myself....I was big into Atari (first kid on the block to have one), Nintendo and Sega. Over time they all went the way of the dinosaur. I recently bought a vintage Atari 2600 and about 25 games off Ebay. I played it for about a week and resold it. It wasn't the same as being a kid. Guess you can never go back (unless it's GI Joe) wouldn't mind hunting down a Nintendo and Sega......maybe when I hit the lottery and have more money then I know what to do with I'll get them

yes, that´s the stuff I´m talking about. How great it was when MAME came some years ago - finally the way was free to all the great aracde games which as a child I mostly couldn´t play as often as I wanted to because back in the eighties (and even now) arcade machines were terrible expenisve in germany.
Way better was Italy where they had great arcade halls at low prizes for a play! Great holidays that were back in the days! Hell Yeah! There are! :-)

The whole "money thing" was based on the times when I was a kid - back then there was no thing like MAME. ;-)
