Toys "R" Us Christmas catalog from 1996...

[xtapolapacetl]

Damn, I wish I kept my N64, as well as SNES. The urge to play Goldeneye and Conker's Bad Fur Day is sometimes too strong. I've learned my lesson, and since PS2 I'm keeping all the consoles and games I buy for them.

 

[antidope]

Still have my N64. Been buying things for it, trying to relive the 90s.

The good ole old days when u could rent double dribble, take it home unscrew it and put pacman board back in the case and return it and have a free game upgrade lol

Damn, I dunno about you guys, but I enjoy looking at old catalogs... 

 

But man, those prices... chipped-PS1 FTW.

chipped ps1? thats unnecessary. we had the swap trick for that. chipped ps2 saved tons of $$$$$ i had 3 cd folio binders FULL of games

 

[gatzbygordon]

that disc tray thing for ps2 that enabled you to play burnt games >>>>anything

Since a couple NT'ers brought up this game it's only right to post this commercial with young Kobe:



The game was pretty good but nowhere close to NBA Live during that time.

 

[liquidswords]

so much nostalgia

. Got 4 n64 consoles and like 50 games plus some doubles i really gotta sell off some of my doubles and extra consoles but i just can't bring myself to do it

Haha, yeah, I did the swap-trick for the longest time, then at one point said "screw it" and chipped it. After a while the laser got all funky and had to resort to tilting it on its side. 

Incidentally, never got into N64. The games just never appealed to me.

Man, those scans bring back a bunch of memories! I just finished reorganizing my retro game collection like 2 weeks ago.

I pretty much own every mainstream console released after the original NES. Most of these are from my childhood. I plan on picking up a Turbografx and CD-i soon to complete my console collection.

**** you.

 

[retro23j]

Yall don't remember that Mario 3 was $80 when it came out?

I love my parents for copping me this.

This thread has me missing my N64. I let my friend hold the cords for it a while ago and just sent him a message about scooping them when I'm in his area again.

 

[powerballin]

damn...homie IS GamePro

 

[liquidswords]

I love all my retro games and systems its just a clusterF and a pain in the *** to have all these systems hooked up got my 360 (xbox and 360 games), ps2 (ps2 and ps1 games), Sega Saturn , n64 , Snes, nes , Gamecube , genesis. Wish I could just have all my games saved on my 360 or something

 

[turftoes]

Until now, I never really knew what the Neo Geo system looked like! Good stuff there! And do you have 4 copies of Zelda for NES? No Atari Jaguar? lol

If you close you eyes, you would think it was a higher pitched DMX talking
