    My parents are going to clean up their attic, so I said I better get any of my old stuff that was there in case it got binned.
    Here's what I got, and I suppose it constitutes a retro-gaming collection of sorts (click the thumbs for bigger pic):

    At least they went elsewhere - if I hadn't been told of the impending attic clearout they would end up in a skip !

    PS1 and G Con 45, do want,

    If I do decide to get shot of them y'all will be the first to know, but for now I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with them.

    TBH - too busy being pissed off about the bloody ash cloud - supposed to fly to Lanzarote for a week for family holiday tomorrow at 2.15 PM.
    Latest report is "2030 hours local - Saturday 15th May 2010: Donegal, Sligo and Ireland West (Knock) open until 0700 hours local, Sunday 16th May 2010. All other airports open until at least 1300 hours local."

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,139 ✭✭✭martineatworld


    Damn it, I wanted the ps1 bundle (particularly arcade stick), but thought I'm not well established enough and it was being cheeky!

    Grrr, next time, next time! *waves fist*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,798 ✭✭✭Jack burton

    A mate of mine lost his MegaDrive and Playstation to his ma doing a clearout of the attic. He told her to keep the Megadrive and the PSX could go but she got rid of both. They went to a disabled kid a few doors down the road. Doubtful he'd play it though. I still have his Pete Sampras Tennis, Mega Bomberman and Earthworm Jim 2 I borrowed about 12 years ago :cool:

    There's a Spectrum & Commodore collection in my Mums attic, what model machines i don't know but they were the very first games machines i ever owned. I haven't played either in at least 15+ years, They were hand me downs from older relatives back in the day. Good fun and all but quickly got forgotten about when 16 bit console fever hit my house! i keep on meaning to bring them down and set them up but meh.
