Official ps4 is my fave. I like the ps1 and ps2 controllers but hate the PS3 ones, they don't feel right to me. I've tried a few 3rd party ones on all those consoles and have to say original is always best

Awesome, look forward to the video

Oh I've no doubt they would only play due to my influence lmfao I did see a video last night of a guy showing his 4 year old a megadrive/genesis for the first time though and he loved it

You collect for the n64 and don't had wave race and diddy Kong racing? Ah man you're missing out on some great games

^yea it's a game I can't pass up if I see it available, same with the board game cluedo lol

I remember being able to rent snes games in the uk, would be a great business if someone set up a rental place like that now I'm sure

Talking to a fella the other day who hit the nail on the head when it comes to people selling for high prices, they read an article that says such and such a game for the nes is worth £100 on eBay and automatically they think Mario bros must be worth that and want to sell it at that price.

I'm collecting for myself, would my 10 year old self approve 100% but if he seen all the new stuff out there I'm sure that would be a different answer lol. While some games are crap (and that translate to today as well as there's still plenty of new games like that) there are some hidden gems in there too. Personally I don't pay eBay prices or at least try not to but there's 1 game I'm considering doing it with (it's my fave snes game of all time which divides opinion) zombies (or for the American version zombies ate my neighbours).

I prefer throwing on super Mario world for an hour than doing the same with a PS4 title but that's all personal preference.

The scalpers make it harder for genuine collectors to 'relive' their childhood with their favourite consoles and games at an affordable price. A great example of the 'elitists' pushing up prices was showcased when a guy last year showed and sold his boxes of nes games (including stadium events) to genuine collectors despite being offered crazy amounts for them by the elitists. This in turn will burst the retro bubble unless something changes.

Also retro games are a great way for kids to get into gaming as well, I know mine will be starting off with the classics .

That Tarzan game looks amazing, also I would shout out to Wave Race..

Behind goldeneye this was my most played 64 game, loved it!

@zapiy yea defo, I'll link a video here, skip to 4.20 he shows the nes version for a lap and then 1 lap on the cdi, it explains it better than I could lol -

For me anything before the Ps2 is retro but of course Everton what's their own idea of retro too lol

Micro machines on the cdi, a game I love on other systems but it runs slow on the cdi. This makes it easier for newer players but for me I prefer the speed and falling off the edge lmfao.

I never seen one before and picked it up at the car boot for £15 so couldn't say no. Only played micro machines so far but will et round to more when I have some more free time lol

Got a few retro pick ups, one being a Phillips cdi and a bunch of games, few megadrive games as well

Love seeing these, gives me ideas for mine, just started collecting so it's not a big collection but want a layout similar to Easter egg hunter and the fella a couple of posts up

If the prices were really that high I'd sell my spare consoles [emoji23]

Prices seem way off to me, going by eBay prices that I've seen stuff sell for
