Hehe true... I guess my mom's got to me somehow. Back in the day (when I was in high school and college) she would constantly tell me that I'm too old to play video games. Different generation, I guess. :P

I suppose the OG Playstation could be considered old school, but in 3D! Usually old school refers to those consoles and games with very lovely sprites that designers and artists have to hand draw individually and animate. It is quite understandable why they cost so much back in the day. While I'm not knocking on the 3D games of today (hey, that's why I'm here!), a lot of them just have no substance and spirit like the games of yore.

BTW, anyone remember blowing on their Famicom or NES cartridges when they won't run? :lol: I certainly do, and using a coin on the gun/auxilliary port of the Famicom to get to the last level of Star Wars. Ya, I broke my original Famicom and had to beg my parents to get me another one. They did get me another one but of course, it was a bootleg version. :P

Oh yeah, the screen would flash white and grey when it was dirty :lol: The lid on my NES broke off so dust was always a problem for me. I even bought that cleaning kit for it but that was such a waste of money. I always used those long Q tips to clean it out.

Dreamcast rocked! It's a shame it was only around for three years. I have mine hooked up to an old TV, been playing Crazy Taxi a lot lately.

I'd say PS1, since it was my only console (and also the last one) >_<

But when I was even younger, there was a very cool platform similar to a Playstation with 10 preinstalled games including Super Mario. I spent like the whole week end and the whole evening playing with it XD
