I've always been a PlayStation man but disappointed the new incarnation has so few games on it.

I bought a Playstation 2 around 2001ish.

The driving and 3D shoot 'em games were excellent. As were Fifa and the combat aircraft ones.
I don't really want/need detailed graphics, I want fast action with lots of noise.

 


I disengage, I turn the page.

It’s all loaded on there
It’s a crazy machine
It’s got snes, nes, megadrive, capcom arcade
Also it works on the big screens too, the guy must have done something to the way it’s set up. I saw it review in The Metro ages ago. Best purchase in ages

Never had a Dreamcast. I think I bought the one below that. My games stop at SNES level. The more games/more powerful machine you buy the more expensive.

I had one delivered at the weekend.
Bloody great!
play it on a 32" tv as large screen too big.
takes a minute to load & runs smooth.
wasn't looking for Pokémon just sega megadrive, desert storm, splatterhouse etc.
great value.

I would suggest downloading a bunch of different emualtors for your pc/mac and then load of roms.

if you then really like something look for that in one of these bundles.

it's not worth just buying one of the systems which only supports the one format.

Another option is get an original xbox these can be softmodded to run all the old console games plus you get the function of being able to run original xb games these go cheap pre owned so you would be looking at about Ł20-30 max (you can put large hdd in there so say another Ł30 for one of those i did this they are great)

Lets us know which way you go or if you need any help
