I also had a PS2, but I broke it when it wouldn't play my game (hit it with a mallet multiple times... turns out it was the wire...too late now).

You hit a poor, defenseless console with a mallet? The poor thing. Revenant does not hurt his concoles...my own, my love...my precious...

Just kidding, I'm not really like that :)


It must have something to do with sony. I have 6 consoles and the ps2 is the only one I smashed to bits, the ps1 died out within a year of nonstop ff7. I've had my NES since I was 3 :p.

Wow, jeez, old fashioned video game systems, I used to have a PS1 but I ended up giving it to one of my old middle school buddies, the only systems I have, I know I'm repeating myself, I have a PS2, a PSP, and a Nintendo DS Lite, but I do own a bunch of PS1 games that I play on my PS2, I just got two new DS games; Pokemon: Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness and Pokemon: Mystery Dungeon: Explorers Sky, I love those games because they can tell you what element of Pokemon type you're meant to be and they can tell you the color of your Aura, in both games, they told me that i'm a fire type; Vulpix and Torchic, and my Aura is a deep purple, HA, go figure, in reality, my horoscope is Sagittarius and even that's a fire sign, I'm surprised, and purple is actually one of my favorite colors, but as for these two games, I'm a Vulpix and a Torchic and my partner in both games is a water type; Squirtle and Piplup, I love the Pokemon games, they're just so awesome!

@DarthMaul - haha, sweet, I've always favored water types and fire types because they're my strongest Pokemon advantages, I'm better at using water types and fire types but I suck at using grass types and that's for starter Pokemon, I can use grass types for like other things but mostly I just use water or fire types. In the Pokemon: Mystery Dungeon games like Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness, Explorers Sky, each game automatically guessed I was a fire type and my Aura was automatically a deep purple, I still laugh at that because my horoscope is a fire sign and one of my favorite colors is purple, it's like these games can read your mind and tell how your feeling and tell what kind of personality you have, I was chosen as a Torchic in Explorers of Darkness and for my partner I chose the water type Piplup, in Explorers Sky, I was chosen as a Vulpix and my partner was the water type Squirtle, but yet, in both games, my Aura was purple, I ended up getting a purple ribbon in both games, although, I've been using cheats for Explorers of Darkness to help me out with getting further in my game, I got an Action Replay DS that I've been using but it's like a bunch of years old, once I got further to the point where Grovyle admits that his human partner was my character (now a Pokemon), it gets to the point where Dusknoir is about to speak but than my game freezes so I have to shut my game down and turn it back on and start all over again from where I last saved which was a save point before traveling onwards with Grovyle and Celebi to that time warp portal, kinda sucks

Not really, I'd just keep trying to look for a way to get past those parts, and then kick myself because the solution turned out to be so simple. xD
I think that games these days aren't hard at all. Infinite continues? I much prefer the long-lost days of three lives to try and get a high score, and then you have to go back to the start.

Lol, I'd rather look for cheats that work, like I said, I've been using cheats for some of my Pokemon games for my DS, they either work or they don't, but, still, I like using cheats to beat games

hell no those days of gaming were hell on earth for me, if you can game like a damn pro then fine, but for someone who does what they can to scrape by then i imagine hell couldn't be much worse then having to start a game from scratch after putting days of effort into it.

i perfer newer games compared to that system. if gaming goes back to the screw the casual gamers style i'm retiring, because i have no hope.

Lol, I put a couple days of effort into playing Pokemon: Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness and all by using cheats, and when my game freezes after I get so far, I have to start my game all over again from where I last saved and it ticks me off because I worked so hard to get so far, I'm not even a hard core pro gamer, once I get stuck in my games, I give up playing them right than and there

I'm mostly interested in retro gaming. I tend to have multiple copies of the games/consoles I'm most passionate about in case the unthinkable happens. This is how my collection is balanced:

Commodore Vic-20 x10 plus two Mega Carts and a uIEC/SD flash device which enables me to download games from the internet and run them on the Vic via SD card.

Sega Game Gear x7 plus over 400 games and accessories. I tend to have about 4 different copies of the games I like the most.

Sega Dreamcast x5 and about 20 games. I also tend to stock up on gamepads, VMUs and vibration packs since they can be bought quite cheaply ATM. I also have an Action Replay disc which is useful for cheats and playing games from the US and Japan.

Nintendo GameCube x3 and about 20 games. I also have an Action Replay disc for cheats and import gaming.

I also have GBA, DS, XBox, Amiga, C64 and Atari ST systems, but I'm not as passionate about them as the ones just mentioned. The XBox is used mostly for DVDs.

And finally, I have about two dozen emulators on my laptop for various systems.

...wow...I'm quite surprised a lot of people still have the old fashioned video game systems, I've gotten rid of all mine and stuck with the new stuff, I love the new based video game technology, it's so amazing!

It's mostly for the nostalgia. It's kind of like sifting through old newspapers and seeing what was news.

yeah i'm with you there, i don't use cheats unless it's a very last resort.

i'm not pro, i can get by but i have a system to every game i play. but when fallout 3 would crap out during my modding spree and i had to start over from the beginning, [which mind you happened 20+ times] it gets really old after a while. thank god it only happens for technical reasons.

if i ever have this problem on skyrim god help me, 100+ hours is average amount of time you sink into this game. it actually is a pain to make new characters because of the amount of content it has without worrying about save corruption, modding technical issues, and game breaking glitches forcing you to start a new file.

i have to have a game that saves your progress or i don't play it.

alot of older games are good the crash series, spyro, etc but those ones at least have a save feature.

It's a good thing a lot of my games have a save feature, I can't stand playing games that don't have a save point, it drives me nuts to keep starting over from the very beginning every single time, and yeah, I agree, it gets old after a while. My DS games always have save points, so do my PSP games, as long as I have memory cards to save my games on, I'm all hunky dory, lol, wow, um, so, yeah, I'm all good

yep, i fall back on my saves so much it's pathetic. infamous is nice in that it saves while you play it. i go for hours on those games without saving knowing that if i fail a mission then i don't lose all the progress i made.

if anything it puts your mind it ease more then anything.

To beat most of the old games, all you needed was practice. And patience. Especially for games like Contra: Hard Corps and Maximum Carnage.
