arhhh... the good old days
still remember last time can play contra, beating the whole game with 0 life loss... of cos that's after countless of hours spending into it, memorizing the pattern of enemies and location of power-ups

Now I don't think I'll be able to beat the game with UUDDLRLRABS tongue.gif

Even Control DS is giving me lots of hard time, can't even beat the game after trying for countless time sad.gif

Quite a few, but I would rather get a 21 inch with S-Video and play it with.

Hey gundamalpha and the rest of the retro console freaks here! It's been awhile since my last post in the forums. I've been rather busy and catching up with my new job smile.gif Good to know you have also started a thread here devoted to classic gaming! Some guys over here mentioned that the PSP could replace all the consoles and play those classic titles from the palm of your hand. But from what I experienced, it emulates those games pretty well and yes, I do admire the emulator author for their coding skills and so forth, BUT the actual playing experience is MISSING. I tried playing a Famicom game on the PSP and it felt kinda odd. Nothing beats the real thing. Sitting in front of your tele, deciding which game you wanna play for that evening, then slotting the cartridge in and sit back waiting for the title screen etc. And what about those light phase gun games like Duck Hunt or Wild Gunmen? Sure you can't emulate that experience. However PSP is one of the better machines for emulation. NDS was quite bad (but I'm not too sure how is it right now). I've heard that the GP32 was pretty awesome for emulation. I even tried playing some GG or GB titles on the PSP and it also felt like something's missing. I just feel that each console out there is built for it's own specialty/reason and not to emulate other machines.

As for my current wishlist. It's gotta be the white GG. Has anyone in Malaysia seen the White GG set before? I first saw it in a shop in Komtar Penang. That was back in 91-92 I think. It's super rare - only 10000 units were sold in Japan.

Another one would be the PC Engine LT. Super rare and expensive. I might be able to strike a good deal with someone, and if the deal comes through, I think I'll let go my current PC Engine GT (since both of them perform almost identical). Any takers for the GT? smile.gif If yes, I'll post some pics at the classified sections for you to checkout the condition.

That's my rant for today. Happy gaming!

White GG is really rare, and I saw some are fetching quite high price $199 and above for the complete set (with the carying case).

As for PC Engine LT, you might consider to find an adaptor to connect cdrom2. But this one also became rare, but still popping out in auction sites. Pity that the GT cannot connect to cdrom2, so it can only play hu-cards tongue.gif

Hey man. Yeah, not many have heard about it! I got the opportunity to see one when I was a kid. I'm so glad I finally secured one. Just hoping to see it next week. I'll post some pics here.

Yup the LT can be connected to the CDROM2 base unit directly without any adapter, but for SuperCDROM2, an adapter is required (and like you said, rare to find one now). The seller has shipped the LT and hopefully I'll be able to see it soon (crossing fingers)

In the meantime, here's a setup that I've always wanted:
