My wife got me a retro Atari Games console for Christmas a couple of years back. It's got all the old favourites - Pong, Space Invaders, Asteroids etc. It's great fun and the games may not be high tech but who cares when they keep you occupied for hours. My nephew and niece weren't overly impressed though.

I got one years ago, But I gave it to my little cousin (why should it be in my house and get dusted, when another child can have fun with it?)

:thumbsup:

My mother used to crush me in space invaders. I loved the atari! I've got quite a few systems now. I even have 2 SNES's still in the boxes, never been used/opened :thumbsup:

i remember the first EMulator i had was the Gameboy emulator. me and my bro were begging my dad for our own gameboys and he was like "i didnt want to show you this..." and he downloaded one for us along with the pokemon games (red and blue) me and my bro had a blast and we never bought a gameboy after that :thumbsup:

then we started downloading gameboy game hacks of Legend of Zelda :link gets laid, and such. after that we downloaded NES emus and downloaded a thousand Mario hacks. lol what a waste of hard disk space.
