NeoGeo and 3DO... nice... didn't expect to see those on NT!
I had a PC-Engine + CD-ROM (Turbografx to you!) back in the day, but sold it a while back.
Incidentally, I have a Pioneer LD (yes, LaserDisc) player that can play PC-Engine & MegaDrive (Genesis) games. Useful and saves space!

Is that from Canada or something, games were definitely not that much. PS games were $40, SNES were $30 I think.

I remember getting Jet Moto 2 and Tekken when I got my Playstation for Christmas. That **** was too damn epic at the time. I miss the old days.

It's not really hard to amass a retro gaming collection, just takes patience and time. Unless you're loaded you can just pay eBay/Amazon prices and it won't take that long, but I have one golden rule, never pay more than $5 for any retro gaming stuff. I could of had a lot more, but due to my golden rule I only really game hunt at flea markets, goodwills, salvation army, and pawn shops.
Nah, I only have 2 copies of Zelda. One that plays and doesn't save (due to dead internal battery), the other plays and saves. The rest of those gold carts are unlicensed video games made by a company called Camerica http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camerica
I do have a Jaguar, but I have zero games, so it stays in the closet in the box.
Cool thing about my Neo Geo is it's modded!
Thanks! A lot of that stuff is from my childhood, I just recently got into collecting in August 2011. I find myself buying less sneakers, so I found a new hobby.
Damn bro, pc engine? Never seen one in real life, but I have heard about them, seems like it did pretty well overseas. Too bad the Turbografx didn't pick up in the states. The TG16 is actually a good console with some fun games!
I know what you are saying, but emulation doesn't cut it for me. I guess you can say I'm a purist, some games just run too smooth or too fast on emulators. Would love to see pics of your setup!

Yeah, I live in HK where the PC-Engine was reasonably popular back in the day... actually, Asia in general. The games were pretty limited back then, but the hardware was pretty powerful. I remember getting super-excited when they announced Street Fighter (1) for PC-Engine CD-ROM (incidentally, they called it Fighting Street lol). It's a shame it didn't really pick-up in the US/Europe, ultimately, I think it came down to their games-library. Like you said, there were some good games, but the library was too small. In terms of comparison, it was probably equal to the Genesis, but Sega had better games to choose from.
Lol @ this catalog thread having turned into an old-school-console thread...

OG PS1 owners the OG swap trick. no mod chip or double swap trick needed.
you just needed to go to the audio music player, have it preload the tracks. swap it with the copied game. oh yea spring in place. then boot. WOW!
the first ps1s were nice too cause it had separate composite video output and you werent stuck to using the sony proprietary a/v wires

Haha, I didn't even bother with the spring... I just used a piece of Blu-Tack (Sticky-Tack, or whatever you call it) instead. LOL.
If memory serves, my method was to load the black PS1 original (I think I used Ridge Racer)... then as soon as the PS logo appeared and the disc stopped spinning, I swapped and voila... I think that' was what I did anyway...
Yes, separate composite inputs FTW. First-gen right there!
