Holy cow! That is what I call a ridiculous collection lol. Makes my collection of Atari and some other of the older stuff look downright small. So far I have not had the best of luck with any of the cartridge based games for my Sega Genisis unit and the few cd drive boxes I have seen for it would cost me way more than the unit itself did. Quite a few of the mainstream games I want to try seem to be pretty much out only for the ps2 or xbox so I am probably going to start saving my nickels to pick up a ps2 when I can, at which point I will have to put my genisis away or do some other rearranging since space is at a premium here.
Oh well such is life. Game on.

I love my psp and won't ever go with anything else- actually, another console to add here - am I the only one that has good luck with it? - is the nintendo 64! Such good memories, much fun and a lot, and I mean a lot, of trial and error. I stil own this beauty and have a lot of non accessible games for it. But I love it, nonetheless. I also own most other systems you can think of. Sega products, including sega cd, sega genny, (1, 2, and the horrid 3), cd x, sega saturn, sega dreamcast, game gear, nomad. Master system, 3 do, super ness, nes. Jaguar cd. Jaguar. Note: some of these systems are extreeemely rare! I had a heck of a time obtaining a 3do at a reasonable price, same with the nomad. I love them all though and, eventually, will do podcasts on the ones I can. I can't really do podcasts very good, and am practicing, but these podcasts will come in a while, I hope. I have 1 or two accessible games for each system, some systems, though, don't even have one. I own the system for the joy of it- and yes, sometimes regret it- but if your looking for a portable system, why not try the gameboy. I agree, the newer systems are good, but older systems have a certain charm to them, pokemon series for one is completely accessible (well, not completely but very close). hope that helps contact details: email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and others msn: [EMAIL PROTECTED] skype: the_conman283 system details: Hp pavillion dv5220CA notebook pc AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology ML-37 2.0 GHZ, 1024 mb DDR ram, Fujitsu 100 gb 4500 RPM Hard Drive, connecsant AC-link audio ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Randall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Lindsay Cowell'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "'Gamers Discussion list'" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Saturday, September 27, 2008 1:43 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Mainstream games > Hi Lindsay and all. > > Well Thomas did a really excellent job of explaining a lot of aspects > of playing mainstream games but I will add my two cents as well.
