Photography Boy looks funny - is it a papazzi kind of 2d game?  Pokemon Snap is the only photo game I ever played - but it was on n64 so all my snaps were fuzzy 

Your character moves left-to-right (the screen scrolls also so you can't just stand still).
And you control the camera cross-hair trying to catch events with your camera (a lot of it requires split second timing). All the while moving and jumping to avoid skateboards, plant pots and bouncing balls??
Has a lot of very funny movie/music references in it too.
I can't remember if you actually see your shots (I don't think so) it's more about you actually "shooting" at the right moment in the right spot.

Just had another thought. It's not exactly a "must have" because to some,
it'll seem the worst game ever but.........Tokyo Bus Guide is superb.

Photograph Boy is one of my favourite games ever.



Yeah, that is Michael Jackson!

The Lynx is actually one of the few systems I've never played.

In my introduction thread I listed a few systems that I've sold over the last year or two.

However, I don't ever see the day that I'd sell my Atari VCS collection.
I've had it for over 30 years and it's also the system that got me into collecting
 (for lots of other systems too) 15 years ago.

Is there any particular console/computer that you would never sell.

Thanks, good to be here.
It's nice to have a retro gaming forum that's dedicated to retro gaming! 

Welcome fella..

Nice collection, do you see yourself replacing them?

Not really.
The majority of what I sold I could play on my PSP or my modded xbox.
I know some folk don't do emulation but in some cases I prefer it.
Apart from the convenience of having everything on one machine, the xbox controller
feels better (to me) than most of the original joypads (SNES, SMS, SMD, PC Engine etc.) which
are all too small for me and give me cramp after prolonged use.  " title="Roll Eyes" />

Oops, already posted before writing this. How rude! 

I'm 41, from Scotland and been gaming forever.

Owner of..........

Atari VCS, 2600, 2600 Jnr, 7800
ZX Spectrum 48k+
PS1, 2
Dreamcast
Xbox, Xbox 360
PSP
Nintendo Gamecube, NDS

Stripped back my collection due to space restrictions/not playing them/cash
and over the last year and a half I've sold...........

Sega Master System, Megadrive
SNES, N64
Colecovision
NEC Core Grafx II
NGPC
DSi
Sega Saturn
Wonderswan

The best thing about the Dreamcast is that they'll play back-ups of games (most of them anyway).
Ultimately this was a bad thing at the time but it's great for trying out some of the
rarer stuff.
I still buy original DC games but if it's going to be a more expensive purchase
I can DL it and try it out first.

Anyway, regardless of this, these are my favs..
Shenmue 1 & 2
Metropolis Street Racer
Virtua Tennis 1 & 2
Matt Hoffman's Pro BMX
Daytona USA 2001
Jet Set Radio
RE Code Veronica
Soul Calibur
Under Defeat
Ikaruga
Rez

If you're exploring obscure handhelds I'd start with the NGPC...............

Not that obscure though really. Although that depends on where you live.

In terms of the Atari at least, Activision must be one of the best software companies ever.
Virtually all of the company's output for the Atari was top drawer (not too keen on Stampede!).
No other company was that prolific.

Ultimate PTG came close with their Spectrum output but a lot of their C64 games were tripe.

50p?!?!?!?


I was devastated when they went up to 20p!

Original Spectrum is a winner.
I think the ST looks bad as did the original 400/800.
In fact Atari's computers all look pretty poor with the exception of this


Maybe I have a thing for rubber keys but I always liked the look of this



Just the look of it though! 

Regardless of the nostalgia factor, I actually
prefer the classic arcade games to the newer coin munchers.
There are exceptions but if I was in an arcade my money would go in this....

and this...................


rather than this........

or this.............

only Two for Me

Pitfall!

Dragster.

Forgot about Dragster, the quickest video game ever. Probably!
