1289252 2012-07-18 21:39:00 I've lost people to cancer and I wasn't offended by it, found it mildly amusing.

People get nostalgic for old games and hardware and pay silly prices for it, I personally never would. N64 was good for it's day but things have well and truly moved on, even a PS2 or original XBOX which you should be able to get cheap would totally own it for graphics quality.

On the other hand I used to play bombjack 2 on my C64 or Atari ST ( I forget which ) and I still enjoy it on the free machine at burger fuel with basically Identical graphics. Sometimes I wish they'd make more old school style games on modern hardware because they look like Sh1t now but were a lot of fun and totally different to play than modern games. I had a couple of vertical scrolling games like 1942 and Xenon 2 that I loved back in the day and there's nothing like that that I've seen any more. Controllers might be a problem though, I've tried emulators and the games ran ok but PC controllers are analog and you don't get the digital joysticks these games were designed for anymore.

1289253 2012-07-18 21:43:00 I completely ruined my golden memories by installing an Amiga 500 emulator on my tablet.

No longer can I look to that period as the gaming paradise I considered it to be at the time.
