JJ 10 Easy Wishes Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 does anyone else understand how sad it is and how bad it feels to sell your 'pride and joy' as HEBS would put it? the only comfort is the knowledge that it's quite old and probably means that it would break soon and now hopefully some young whipper snapper can continue where I left off. Also ps3......which i don't own yet.i felt far worse when I sold my megadrive. it was effectively my best friend in my younger days! i'll never sell my snes though. or my n64.

Skull Commander Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 I can sympathise with you. I'm the master of 'console regret'. I once sold my dreamcast and a collection of around 40 top games. I now again own a dreamcast and over 80 games. When I see or trade in games I usually end up buying them again. I'm a hoarding bastard and I wish I wasn't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 I am a Nintendo man, but i love my dreamcast! Totally shit and awesome all at once! Wasnt it first console with online capability?Yeah, launched in the same 'everyone gets to try out the internet at least once' era as the Amstrad Emailer (a telephone with email! cost about 200 quid in the day, i remember seeing them in makro a few years ago for about a tenner) and surfing the 'net through your OnDigital set top box! I only know one guy who actually used it for a considerable amount of time, cos he didn't have a PC at home. Good times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Commander Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 I am a Nintendo man, but i love my dreamcast! Totally shit and awesome all at once! Wasnt it first console with online capability?I'v done the whole seeling and buying back thing on multiple formats. Selling my snes from the first time around was my biggest regret, so much so that I now have a uk snes, us snes, jap snes and over 200 games for them just to make sure.

Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 So thaaaaaaaaaaaat's what happens when you win the Cup. Always wondered, since I never managed to win the fucking thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Think I managed to see what happens by "hacking" the game - ie pressing break or escape or whatever it is. Seem to remember that Football Manager was just about the only game you could do that on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Football Director on the Spectrum, now that was a good management game.My ZX+3 bit the dust a few years ago, which broke my heart. I've still got a Megadrive with Master System adaptor though, and my N64 is still going strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kharn Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 the only comfort is the knowledge that it's quite old and probably means that it would break soon even if it was quite new it would probably be close to breaking.PS1 - fantastic machine...very reliable...years of joy!!!Ps2 - piece of shit that never worked properly...everyone i knew (Barre one) that had one, had it break just after the warrenty ran out. pieces of crap!!!Ps3 - probably the same except it costs moreConclusion...get a 360 instead...thier awesome!
