[Matt Van Dam]

Here is my littel retro collection, no as good as what some of you guys have but I like it!

My Dreamcast

Complete with 3 official controllers, 2 VMU's, 1 Vibration pack, 1 Official lightgun, an DC-PSX control pad adapter (great for those SNK beat'em ups!) and a VGA adapter for using on a PC monitor.

Dreamcast Games

All games are genuine no dodgy games as was the trend for a lot of DC owners!

From the top, then left to right: Virtua Cop 2, Godzlla Generations, Crazy Taxi, Soul Calibur, Garou: Mark of Wolves, Sega Rally 2, Power Stone, Virtua Tennis, Shenmue USA, Power Stone 2, Virtua Fighter 3, Resident Evil Code Veronica Limited Edition, Sonic Adventure, Capcom vs SNK 2, Marvel vs Capcom 2, The King of Fighters 99: Dream Match, Shenmue JAP, House of the Dead 2, Dream Passport (not a game obviously), Resident Evil 2 (PAL), Tony Hawk's 2 (PAL), Tony Hawk (PAL), Virtua Tennis 2 (PAL).

My Atari Lynx

Kept this because it's my fave hand held of all time, only have Batman Returns, Chip's Challenege and Pit-Fighter with it though sadly. Really need Blue Lightning and California Games

Nintendo 64

Sadly lost the box for this when I moved house, is a JAP Console bought at launch . Still have 3 pads, memory card and Jumper Pak for Perfect Dark in the expansion slot.

Games are Mario 64 (best game ever, still!), J-League 1999 (ISS 2000), World Cup 98 (ISS 98, Konami got the official license in Japan, get in!), F-Zero X, Zelda - Ocarina of Time, WWF No Mercy (best wrestling game ever), WCW vs nWo Revenge, Star Fox 64 (was 3rd place in national CVG competition for Lylat Wars), Perfect Dark.

Atari Jaguar

For some reason my fave of the lot!

Still boxed in perfect condition with Doom (what a great conversion!) Theme Park, Cybermorph and Tempest 2000.


Tempest 2000

Probably worth more than anything in my whole collection, unopened and unused, I hope this will go for a few quid one day

Forget your 360's, the real pinnacle of HD gaming is...

My flat mate and I are quite getting into the MD ways.
Picked up an unboxed Sonic&Knuckles, Lotus Turbo Challenge and some lame hockey game for £1.99 today at Gamestation. Bargain!

 

[uk_viper]

If your shocked by that then really start digging and you will find there are literally dozens of consoles released back then.

now, i never figured out why my megadrive never had anything written on the ring. everybody elses did lol

 

[fergie666]

my mk1 megadrive doesnt have anything written on the ring either ?

maybe a very early release console ??

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Yeah, the first releases had it written on the back and have an extra port on the back, I haven't a clue what it's for... I remember reading on wikipedia one day, think I'll have another read.

Can you post a pic of the extra port ?

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Not at my flat right now, I could get one in a few days.

Wikipedia Says:
"EXT" port: 9-pin D socket for Meganet modem connection

exists on all Japanese and Asian Mega Drive 1 units, and on early European Mega Drive 1 units

Ooh, Meganet... Maybe like what the SNES had?

Edit: Nope, for online play, never knew about that!

 

[JoeBoi]

Wow online play on a mega drive shame it never took off lol
