Still whip out the old PS1 for the odd thrash as its the only console I have left in working order.

They are always talking about the potential of a system... then they just release a new one. If they used all of the potential of a system, we would have some awesome games!

GTA San Andreas pushed the PS2 to its breaking limit, they had to omit features because it couldn't handle it. Expect the third one in the GTA 4 series to do the same.

But I do own a PS1, 2xPS2 (1s a slimline), X-Box and one of those real old video games with the bar people that only play hockey and tennis etc (you know back when video games were the ducks nuts). But I also have 3 kids so I can't get near any of them anyway........

I was a bit disappointed with the graphics as if I've just gone back in time seeing what it was like with PS1. over all, the free Wii sports game that came with the console was more addictive then the $99 games{transformers, pokemon & avatar} love the boxing, golf & baseball. I hog it more then the kids, especially the golf! LOL At the end of the night I always fall back on the Xbox which I now have relocated in my bedroom.

Now this is from 1985 onwards obviously not in order towards the end Sold my 360 to get wii, then sold that to get ps3. I sold my wii within 3 month cause the boring factor of the games, sold the ps3 cause the games were burning a hole my pocket, Ive reverted back to the 360 cause all versions are easy to hack and cheaper to have backups Back to top Rick's EF Fairmont Wagon Fordmods - Getting Side Ways Age:38 Posts: 424 Joined: 07 Sep 2007 Location: Brookfield VIC, Australia View User Gallery (3) Posted: Wed Jan 02, 2008 11:24 am    Post subject: donkey kong, mario, c64, apple 11, pc games from the begining of time.

Some dodgy dude he knew was selling like 4-5 games to a 600MB disc for $60!!!!! So I started searching the net and found games galore... 10 mb game in old modem days would take upto 30-40 mins (Imagine now with cable )... In the end before i sold it I recon I had well over 260 games... The v64 was the best $300 dollars I spent considering. They had another company who did the z64 I think which ran on a zip drive that a mate of mine had and caused him nothing but dramas all the time Now days if there is any old school like that I just get a emulator for the PC Back to top More Grunt Fordmods - Getting Side Ways Age:26 Posts: 896 Joined: 10 Jul 2007 Location: Bacchus Marsh VIC, Australia View User Gallery (2) Posted: Wed Mar 26, 2008 10:18 am    Post subject: dc_todd wrote: DoddEA wrote: Mega Drive II.

Halo 2 smashed graphics detail out of the ballpark for the ability of the console it was on. looks better than *some* ps3 and 360 games.

Just play the Halo 1 ending in split screen and you know they had it on the limit, modified with installed on the hdd or not, it couldn't keep up with frame rates.
