Exactly that. I hardly have time anymore so end up playing simpler and shorter games like Little Nightmares, Limbo etc etc
DM’s open to discuss. What do you have?
Christ……I’ll have to get up there.
Couple of Dreamcasts (Uk and Japanese refurb, never used), Japanese GameCube (switched multi region by Lik Sang) and a few games (ntsc US). Dreamcast Arcade stick. Dreamcast Border Down (special edition with soundtrack) and a few other shmups (Ikaruga, Psyvariar 2)
Fair few of the old PlayStation RPG’s some UK and some US NTSC. Some PS2 RPGs, usual Final Fantasy I think. Silent Hill 1-4. Homecoming (PSP). Few PSP games but need to get a battery for the PSP to test.
PS3 60gb, but the shit one that isn’t back compat. Couple of games but not much as I didn’t get on with the PS3.
I sold most Xbox 360 stuff about 8 years ago.
N64, Saturn, Megadrive all gone a good 20 years ago. No modern Nintendo stuff. I have a SNES but it’s rough from memory and at my dads place.
It’s a lot of effort and when I think about it I don’t want to sell haha
The overwhelming majority of games will be like new, but they’ve been in the lofts of three houses over a good 17 years so the testing to make sure stuff works and is saleable needs to be done first.

there’s definitely a middle ground for this. the first time i played it i didn’t use guides beyond asking my 11 year old what i should do next and i missed loads of cool side quests and fun bits
second time through i basically used a walkthrough. the main quests were easy as fuck as a result but it took weeks with all the side stuff to do
this time i’m using the odd guide to remind me how to do things that i had forgotten or where some things are
i wouldn’t recommend doing the “no guides at all” approach
I remember playing a Zelda game pre internet, think it was Wind Waker. Anyway got totally stuck in the water temple. I actually called the helpline on the box and got absolutely berated by some pissed off sounding lad who had clearly had to explain the same thing 20 times already that day.

Zelda games have some fucked up hard levels. Ocarina of Time has a notorious water level that i think made me rage quit the whole game forever in the late 90s
Yeah, was probably that one, seem to remember it wasn’t actually hard once you knew what to do but the design wasn’t great so difficult to figure out.
Been playing Zela, Link’s awakening on an emulator. Yeah it’s really hard, probably couldn’t do it without reference to a walkthrough.

Owning an N64 is more hassle than it’s worth these days: games aren’t cheap, the joysticks on the controllers out there are all pretty fucked and the nostalgia goggles have to very firmly be on going back from more modern games. Early 3D games are pretty rough.
Much better off just buying the expansion+ subscription for the Switch and getting them all fthere to piss about on, you can do multiplayer too

Running them on a modern TV doesn’t help either. You need a nice little crt to soften all the edges.

Yeah forgot to say that^
Have to fiddle around and buy an adaptor for modern TVs and it doesn’t always look great/ doesn’t work work at all sometimes and it’ll stretch to widescreen display by default. That console was made for CRTs
I know I’ll end up trying to sort a CRT for ‘testing purposes’…
The best N64 games are on the switch anyway

I’ve still got my N64…4 pads, mario kart and (the now terrible) Goldeneye.
And my Super Famicom with about 35 games.
Never use 'em. ha
Mario 64 is tough on a HD TV. The contrast is rough
If you’re ever willing to let that N64 go I’d be willing to take it off your hands. If you’ve also got a copy of Star Wars Rogue Squadron and/or Lylat Wars I’d probably sell a bollock for it.
