That some of you might have kicking around in an attic or something.

A chipped PS1 would be nice. Anybody got one kicking around?

A Dreamcast.

A Saturn, maybe. I'm not super bothered about that.

Any old X-Box controllers.

Err. actually that's it. Unless someone has an Atari Jaguar and a copy of Tempest 2000 in their basement.

Of course I could go ebaying but I thought I'd ask you friendly people first.

Ive got the chipped PS1 though im unsure if it works.

Collect it and you can have it

aceness. I'll PM you tomorrow when I'm likely to remember what's going on.

I've got a working chipped PS1 if Yeovil's doesn't work

i've got a dreamcast.

my old dog pissed on it, havent played it since.

I've just remembered that I sometimes play Point Blank so I probably don't want to part company with it anyway

i've got a chipped ps1 somewhere. fuck knows where though. i'll have a look in the attic if you get desperate.

you live the closest axs. No worries though. That's 3 chipped ps1's on offer. 1 possibly not working. Still ace though.

Old Xbox controllers are also massively welcome. Some of you must have bought new consoles recently?

there's about 4 xbox controllers sat next to me right now, but they belong to my brother so i'll have to ask him first.

4??? that's a bit over kill. I only need 3.

we used to play 4 player killer halo on rockets all the time. quality fun.

I want them for hacking up the wires and making them USB so I can play multiplayer emulated games on my old rickety computer. I've already got one and I can't think of any more than 4 player games. Also I don't have that many friends.

i'll ask my bro when he gets back on weds, can't imagine he still wants all of them.

Ace. I can swap you some RAM for them.

would that be the free RAM i gave you?

Warning

Nerd Alert  :D

HELLO - YOU'RE ON AN INTERNET FORUM.

Aye, and I'll never apologise for my nerdiness. I've got a bit of a passion for old computer games. It's pretty geeky but it's something that I find interesting. It's sort of like an early bedroom art form as it gets taken over by Hollywood style budgets. Nothing good can come from it.

Its nothing to be ashamed of. Some of my best friends know some nerds.

are you one of the nerds that your best friends know?

I know some non nerds. I beat STFC Dave by a step.

Dam, foiled

You're missing out on loads of fun by not being a nerd. It's possible to be a nerd and still live a normal lifestyle.

tis true. the nerd messiah speaketh the truth.

The only old game I've played recently is SWOS, although I did lose hours and hours to it this year.

I could go on for hours about old games.  I could list enough stuff that you could get for free with easy ways to play it to keep anybody going for a few years. It's not only old games, but the current crop of freeware games and remakes fuelled by the internet are fucking brilliant.

I could list stuff but I won't. Not until I get so overwhelmed with geekiness to start a free(or nearly)  stuff you can do with your shitty old computer thread anyway.
