Bakerman Posted December 9, 2015 Report Posted December 9, 2015 I think this is a good topic on the heels of what systems you've never played. Especially with Christmas wishing. But remember Christmas wishes don't always come true, but it might be fun to see if anyone got what they listed for Christmas. For me it's the Turbo Grafix 16 I think. I suppose listing 2-3 is o.k., but don't go overboard please. "Slugs, he created slugs?...Is this not the work of a complete incompetent?

AlamoAtari Posted December 9, 2015 Report Posted December 9, 2015 Jaguar seems to be the best choice for me.
StormSurge Posted December 9, 2015 Report Posted December 9, 2015 I really want a GameCube, just so I can play the hidden Star Wars Arcade game on a console. Thankfully they seem to be relatively inexpensive, so I'm certain I'll have one soon. The Super Nintendo is my answer. I played one once, so it's not on my "Never Played" list but I would love to dig into that catalog. As for consoles I truly never played, I don't really want any. I don't have any nostalgic connection, so I can live without them.
nosweargamer Posted December 9, 2015 Report Posted December 9, 2015 I really want a GameCube, just so I can play the hidden Star Wars Arcade game on a console. Are you talking about the unlockable version included in Star Wars Rogue Squadron III? That is pretty cool .

StormSurge Posted December 9, 2015 Report Posted December 9, 2015 Are you talking about the unlockable version included in Star Wars Rogue Squadron III? That is pretty cool . That's the one! Seriously, that's 99% of the reason I want one.
LeeJ07 Posted December 9, 2015 Report Posted December 9, 2015 I really, REALLY, want a 3DS. Like... It's almost all I think about, like, all the time. For a classic system, though, I'd have to say... Either a 7800, an SNES, or... a Sega CD. I know. Also, Dreamcast. Technically, I already have a Dreamcast, so it doesn't exactly count, but I've had no luck so far with acquiring accessories or games for it, and I've been *dying* to dive into its library for over a year now.

LeeJ07 Posted December 9, 2015 Report Posted December 9, 2015 The one vintage game store I've managed to visit had plenty of DC accessories, but I only counted 3 games. Yeah, it's pretty hard to get around here, and Ebay is likewise not something I'm really able to use currently. "I'd buy that for a dollar!" -Smash T.V.
LeeJ07 Posted December 9, 2015 Report Posted December 9, 2015 I'm unsure, I'll have to check. I have never been able to use my Dreamcast because I can't connect it to my tv. A tv cable is one thing I've been hoping to acquire soon. "I'd buy that for a dollar!" -Smash T.V.
LeeJ07 Posted December 9, 2015 Report Posted December 9, 2015 I definitely will! Thanks! "I'd buy that for a dollar!" -Smash T.V.
LeeJ07 Posted December 10, 2015 Report Posted December 10, 2015 Doing some Googling, I see all that is really required to play PAL games on an NTSC Dreamcast is a boot disk, so yeah, it shouldn't be hard at all. "I'd buy that for a dollar!" -Smash T.V.
jmjustin6 Posted December 10, 2015 Report Posted December 10, 2015 I really want to play a jaguar. If i ever get my hands on one i will probably get the cd thing for it too
RickR Posted December 10, 2015 Report Posted December 10, 2015 I'd gladly give away all of my game systems for peace on Earth.
LeeJ07 Posted December 10, 2015 Report Posted December 10, 2015 Oh, I think so indeed! I'll be on the lookout for whichever is cheapest and easiest to acquire on my budget, but I really look forward to finally putting my Dreamcast to good use! "I'd buy that for a dollar!" -Smash T.V.
Rowsdower70 Posted December 11, 2015 Report Posted December 11, 2015 Well I've played one, but I really want a Vectrex. "For you - Rowsdower from the 70 - have been appointed Omnivisioner of the Game Grid." ~ Atari Adventure Square
jmjustin6 Posted December 11, 2015 Report Posted December 11, 2015 Well I've played one, but I really want a Vectrex. You and me both
LeeJ07 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 As I see it, nearly all systems except the 2600 are on the rise, price-wise. The 2600 market peaked a few years ago, and is now on a decline again, but everything else is going up up up. I predict that NES and Genesis are going to see the largest increase as they both seem to be entering a new period of nostalgia with even the general public. "I'd buy that for a dollar!" -Smash T.V.
StormSurge Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 For a lot of people bi know they feel the 2D titles on both of these have aged far better than the 8 Bit formats and the early 3D systems including PS1/Saturn and thus are happy to return to, where as many who try a PS1/Saturn or N64 title come way saying OMG i cannot belive how ugly that looks... This! When I play a N64 game, that's the exact feeling I have. Granted, I'll still play some fun games, but I'd much rather pop-in a game from earlier generations.
LeeJ07 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 I dunno, the N64 has a certain allure for me, with games like Super Mario 64, and Goldeneye 007, I really would like to own one. Perhaps it's because I've never actually played an N64 before, though... "I'd buy that for a dollar!" -Smash T.V.
StormSurge Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 Those games are great! It's just that seeing all those polygons in a game like Madden for example, is jarring for me when comparing it to Madden games that came before & after. (And believe, I understand comparing a game from the late 90s to today graphically-speaking isn't close to fair, I'm just saying that the blocky graphics from those early 3D titles seem very dated to me, even compared to the MD/Genesis/SNES era) Madden '93 Madden 64 Madden '16
LeeJ07 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 Good grief, I almost thought that shot of Madden '16 was from footage of a real football game... "I'd buy that for a dollar!" -Smash T.V.
