Anyone one here into old school video games? Mostly pre 2000?

NES, SNES, GB, GBA, N64, PS1 and maybe a few later systems.

I'm not a techy guy, modded a WII, and a few other things in the past, but looking for a handheld to mod for old games. Anyone here into that?

Anyone want a TRS-80 with a bunch of “games”?

I want a current Play Station so I can get back in and wander around in the open-map games like Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Revolver, they’re just so beautiful …but those are massive time-wasters.

Had a Pong and then a PS1, PS2 and that was it. I grew up ;)

Games or consoles? Tell us more Grizzly.

I saw an Atari console at the thrift store last week.
We have a dedicated, Frankensteined desktop computer that is a dedicated gaming monster. The video card itself overloaded the power supply, so I added an external 1500 watt power supply. We are looking for a big, curved monitor.
We a couple of Xbox consoles, but since we built this thing, we scrapped them.

I was a casual gamer as a kid. NES, Genesis, PS1, PS2 and N64. My gaming days ended around 1999 and just back into them a few years ago. I collect NES game carts, SNES carts and N64 carts. I have a couple switch consoles now. Mostly play NES, SNES etc.... games when I have some free time.

I just ordered a Trimui Smart pro handheld device for playing older games up to PS1.

When i was a kid we had a home PC where I would play all those Quest games. Kings Quest, Space Quest, Police Quest, etc etc. They were games where you walked through a scene and typed in stuff for the guy to do.

I remember even playing Leisure Suit Larry (google that one) :ROFLMAO:

I remember that one! Haha! My buddy's older brother had it on his computer. We were around 10-12 years old. Giggled our little @sses off!! 😂

He had Porky's for the Atari also. Another adult game based of the movie. 😂
