Retro console and games thread

Haven't posted in a while but traded in some doubles at cex and got these with the credit to further boost the dreamcast collection, and a n64 expansion. All in decent condition

Nice! I've always heard good things about Pkwerstine. Been thinking of boosting my DC collection too lately, games are fairly well priced at CEX mostly. Even just tempted to nab virtua tennis :D

Started Silent Hill 2 on PS2 for the first time the other day, wow! Really creepy and tense. Controls are a bit dated but I set combat to easy to just see it through
 
Charity shop shenanigans!

£1.50 each, fancied some spyro. Get home. All are complete except spyro contained silent hill 1 disc :( not the end of the world really, can't exactly return and ask the less fortunate for my money back ;)

Have found a use for the spyro case though

Cex expect £20 for Crash so I consider it an ok get regardless of this terrible situation ^

**on closer inspection, silent hill is a demo disc :(

I'd never pick up from a charity shop without checking contents and condition. Same with car boot sales actually.
Yea I would usually but they were taped closed and I had my little one with me so just thought I would risk it! Worst case is I have 1.50 to a charity for no gain :D .. makes me sick ;)

But yea from now on I will check no matter what. I guess someone on eBay may need the case and manual to spyro. Would have kept that One! Maybe there's a loose disc to be had aswell

Grrr, taped closed would insinuate that they were checked prior to taping!

Current TV is only a Sony Bravia 32", I wan't to try and upgrade to a 4K HDR panel at some point, but don't really want to go over 40" in size (debating it's worth atm) I want it to still sit in the alcove.

Other side of the room will be space for my home made arcade cabinet.
 
That looks amazing! When do you get the time to get serious gaming in???

Wife tends to go to bed with our little girl between 19:00-20:00 I tend to stay up until around 23:00, I generally have a tidy up around the house when they go to bed, so anytime in the week between 20:00 - 23:00 I get a few hours a night in.

Weekends are generally reserved for family time.
 
Lovely set up there and a fantastic view, congrats! I play about the same I'd say, once little one and partner are in bed but my Mrs tends to stay up til around 10ish. That said if we have no show to watch or whatever then I'll start earlier
 
No pics, but met a guy on Facebook, met up locally on a sell/buy group and got a fat PS1, 17 games, controller, memory card and all cables for £25.

Well chuffed. Can shift most of the games tbh and get some cash back.

Really wanted a SNES mini but was far too late by the time I found out about it, been sniffing around trying to find somewhere to get a pre-order but no luck

I then started looking at alternatives and cam across RetroPie so I have ordered a Pi3 and 2 SNES controllers for less than the cost of the SNES mini with the opportunity for more games

Looking forward to it arriving and getting it fired up
