Just the other day I asked my son where is the game cube. He said I threw it away. There was nothing wrong with it and I would have gladly given it to someone who wanted it. I was so pissed.

Just when I thought I taught em not to be wasteful...

We have in our household a PS3, XBOX360, and a Wii. My son plays the 60 and PS3, I've got Grand Slam Tennis for Wii which is addictive! ButI might boot him off the PS3 soon to break in PGA Masters

Very nice. If your xbox360 non slim ever overheats it is an easy fix you can do yourself unless of course free repair/replacement also comes with the teritory .

This is a seriously old topic brought back to life... I have these machines:

Heathkit GD-1380 (basic 4-game Pong-type box)
Unisonic(?) 10-game souped-up, color Pong-type unit
Atari 2600 (made-in-USA power adapter, joysticks without the "Top" label on them)
Atari 5200 (four-controller model, with still-good joysticks)
Atari 7800
Intellivision (with Intellivoice add-on)
Colecovision (with steering/brake controller, and maybe a Roller Controller?)
Nintendo NES
Playstation 3 (still has "other OS" option available)
Xbox 360 (black/slim 4GB version)

At least 75 cartridges, probably more

I liked the 5200 because it used an analog joystick even though it was poorly implemented mechanically and it used multiple buttons. Something that far as I know wouldn't be seen again until the Nintendo 64 at least far as an analog joystick was concerned.

From what I understand from a YouTube video I watched, the 7800 could have been better than the NES if Atari had just installed more RAM as I believe it had better sound capability and also better video capability that was bottlenecked by the amount of RAM.

I had MAME on my XP computer and when I was able to recover the main drive I found that MAME worked on my Windows 10 PC as well.

I rarely play it though.

What I'd love to do is find a vector monitor, a vector generator and get vector MAME up and running so that I can play the vector arcade games.

Thing is the vector arcade games and the Vectrex had 3D graphics long before any console, raster arcade game and computer would be powerful enough for 3D graphics.

The Wico aftermarket joysticks for the Atari 5200 were an amazing improvement on the Atari originals. They have mechanical devices in them to switch between self-centering spring-return mode, and fully relaxed analog mode, not the half-return, easily broken rubber membranes on the Atari-built ones.

One 5200 cartridge that took good advantage of the analog joysticks was RealSports Baseball, in which you could "swing" your bat different ways (including bunting) by choosing the motion of the joystick. That cartridge was also very cool for including voice sounds in about the same era as when the Mattel Intellivision required an outboard adapter to achieve that.

The 2600 and 7800 used regular joysticks.

In my life I had:

Atari 2600 built from local maker CCE
PS1
PS2
Then I sell the PS2. Some time and I started to play in PC.

Consoles or systems I have now:

"Telekit" (a regular brazilian PONG kit using the original IC)
Atari 2600 (from Polyvox, one of licensed from Atari for Brazil)
NES (on emulator**)
PS1 (on emulator**)
Steam - PC with i9 processor and 980Ti video board (since it have VGA output for playing games on my Sony Dell P991)

Since the PS1 era, a fan of Resident Evel series... I only play it on TV with true black calibrated ;-) LCD/LED is no-no, for instance

**emulators are on my notebook with S-Video PAL-M output. For me, is a reason d'ętre playing these games on old TV from my collection.
