Vintage game consoles

Wow, the prices that people place on old junk always amazes me, anywhere up to $200 for an untested (so probably not working) 5.25 floppy drive.
Makes me think I should put some of the ones I've salvaged from old junk PC's up for sale, I only kept them as a curio of days gone by anyway

Recently I have been fascinated by the Dreamcast. I saw one going cheap on ebay and jumped in. Waiting for it to arrive to have a go at Sega's last hurrah.

I keep looking at getting old Sega consoles but everything I want to play on them is either available in retro compilations or extremely expensive (I'm looking at you Panzer Dragoon Saga).

I really should get back to looking for PS1 and PS2 disk I want to play again. I really regret being a kid and having to trade towards need games and consoles.

I remember playing Panzer Dragoon on my friends Dreamcast and thinking it was great.

Man that was a long time ago.

The one benefit a lot of Dreamcasts have though is that they allow you to play burnt game discs without modding the console at all.
Not that I'm advocating piracy, just that if one wanted to download an DC iso image, burn it to disc and play it they could do so quite easily.
And as delta said some games are ridiculously expensive and no profits go to the developers, so it's not really piracy imo

Also beta games that never got made/released like Toe Jam & Earl, Half Life etc

And super easy to make a boot disk for imports, that's how I play my copies of Seaman & Godzilla

Hehe i played Panzer Dragoon on the Saturn so even longer. Still have my Saturn. Will have to plug it back in someday. So many great games. Shame the light guns don't work on LCD TVs. I packed up my Saturn when i got rid of my CRT TV eons ago.
