Jet Get Radio!!!! post here when you get something new!

Absolutely, this is definitely subjective. There's kids out there right now absolutely lost in the land of Hyrule playing TotK, and that's how it should be I suppose. Me, like you, if I've got an hour or 90 mins even to play a game, I like to complete something in it...be a dungeon, a chapter, something. Wandering around for side quests isn't something I ever really bothered with, even in games that floored me like LttP and OoT.

I think the last big budget linear narrative game I played was Last of Us 2, and I loved every minute of it.

Im saving all those open world games from when im bedridden and have nothing else to do🤣

Took a trip down to my local GameStop Saturday and here's the walls.

Got talking to the manager who'd knowe from coming in the last 20+ years. Turns out his parents come into me in work. Told him i want to get some more of the shelving.

Ended up with my van absolutely packed with the wire shelving and the flat back shelving about a ft deep. Absolutely delighted with it. Heading down Thursday to collect the wall bays and ill hopefully be able to pick up another few of them on the day and make a really cool display wall at home

Something nice to me about having some of the fittings from the shop I spent so much time (and money) in over the years

Just arrived from @Jack burton

I reluctantly bought an unboxed Master System 1 in 2019, couldn't find a decent boxed one at all. Not even being fussy, just wanted something mostly complete in decent condition. They were always seriously ripped up or had spills/stains. On top of the fact the first gen console was nowhere near as common as the second gen and even those were in bits. They were never half as decent as a Mega Drive.

The final addition to the boxed Sega consoles that I want.

It was like Christmas day unpacking this, haven't had my hands on a nice console for 4 years!

I don't think there's too many big Atari fans here, but I am, so what the hell. Picked this up today...

Came up mint after a scrub. It's fully boxed, but the rubber in the cables is starting to react with the box innards, so I'll leave it out from now on. Complete with the light gun and joystick too. Delighted with it, never seen one in person until now.

I have an 800XL to pair it with, which I think is the slightly more desirable of the two, but seemingly this has a nicer composite output.

Wow that's lovely, don't think I've ever seen one of them before. The design with the pastel colours really is something.

Yeah it's a pleasant enough looking machine, a definite departure for Atari and what they put out beforehand.

Nice find ! Only remember ever seeing one in the flesh - in Peats of all places way back when. Large pastel buttons always made it stand out. Can't recall if the keyboard was with it, but I believe it was sold standalone or in a deluxe set as above. Of course back then, nobody gave it a second look what with the other options out there, but nice to see one surviving.

Welcome to playing some of the worst games ever made, it's fantastic!

Have you tried out the Doom Resurrection hack actually? I'm really doing it a disservice calling it a hack, it's incredible.

Two player split screen that actually runs really really well on it too. It really needs to be seen to be believed.

I gave myhouse a go there last weekend I brought it into Launchbox as an additional version of standard Doom, and said I'd play it for a few mins to make sure it worked. An hour later I was still glued to the screen, very, very cool mod.

John Romero plays through it a bit on his YT channel, also worth a watch

Seen a non working Model 1 Atari Lynx on ebay, and said I'd give it a go in terms of fixing it. If I can, it'll be nice to have both revisions of the Lynx

Little bit more of an expensive option that I went for but works a treat:

Latest get, have a ban on myself buying cabinets but with it nearby and at the price I couldn't pass it up although was an entire evening of work as usual getting something like this. Has anyone ever played it, I'm presuming it's not very good, golden tee rip off? No idea if it works, but was planning on converting it as its a typical Midway cabinet albeit different coin door.

A random bit of trivia. Seems to be a USA Midway cab, I find it weird that it seems some games were made in the USA and others were made on Licence or when it was sold at Atari Games/Namco Tipperary in the 90s, i.e. gauntlet legends, although I'm not sure they ever made that type of cabinet in Tipperary

Dave it must be costing you a fortune in storage fees. Elephant storage in Dublin is 200 per month for a small room that would holds 5-6 cabs.

Maybe you could do a killing instinct or mortal kombat conversion on that? Although the sports games were a slightly different shape/angle on the monitor with longer head:
