Video Game Console Poll

This is what you need!

Do you actually have one of those? I never saw one in real life... I thought they were just an elaborate joke, and didn't actually exist.

I pulled my old A1200 out of the closet to sell on ebay, and as a test fired up some of the games. There were some good ones out there (my &%$# Lemming disk is damaged, though!), but wow, does it look dated.

Incidently, the 1200 sold for quite a bit! I was suprised!

My Wii has been collecting dust for the past 6 months... I had to quit playing Half-Life on my PC last year because I wasn't getting any work done. I almost broke down and bought HL Orange box for Christmas, but decided to settle for the Wii games instead.

Reconsider that. Seriously. If nothing else, get Portal. It is relatively short and all kinds of fun.


For what it is worth, my 4-year degree took six years. I blame Doom, X-com, Rise of the Triad, Quake 2, and Command and Conquer.

That’s mine. It’s basically a A1200 with a cd rom attached to it. The CD32 was the last Commodore Amiga made and it was the first cd rom game system.

I have an Atari 800 with plotter, disk drive (5 1/4) and some of the games. I also have a 2600 (I think that is the gaming console), and an old Com 64 I picked up off some friends that were going to trash it. Anyone want 'em, I need to gewt rid of them and thinking about ebay later.

Darkwing,

If I'm the first to reply, let me know about that 2600!

I know this is a really old thread but I just had to post this YouTube vid.

I didn’t realize that putting a mouse and keyboard on a PS3 would be so controversial.

Watch and then read the commentary.

Oh, I will have to watch this when I get home. I don't get it either. There are all these people who think that the ability to use a mouse and keyboard on a console would give other people some sort of "disadvantage" and that it would take away the "console" in console gaming. Too me, its just stupid that I can't use a mouse and keyboard with the PS3. I would actually play A TON more games if I could. FPS and joysticks DO NOT MIX. I would love to play COD4 but not with a joystick. No thanks.

It gets pretty heated there’s comments like “Halo is for fat stupid Americans.” And “ Mouse and keyboard users should be band” it’s pretty bad.
