    Same, 'cept I've never even seen a Saturn. It'd be more for the novelty of it.

    Games lack originality these days.

    The Saturn was fantastic I thought. Die Hard Arcade -- I always always always wanted it. I used to play a demo of it constantly... When I finally got a copy of Die Hard Arcade, guess what? Couldn't get past the second stage.

My mother would check out garage sales about once a month in the summer and pick up a couple of new games for $2 each.

    Lots of fun.

    Join ASSEMblergames.com forums. That's a good place to find rare games for sale.

    I've just remembered about a photo we have somewhere of me, I'm sitting in front of a 15" CRT TV in my bedroom playing on my Dreamcast (House of the Dead 2) and I have a stack of Dreamcast games beside the TV.

    I might dig that photo out and upload it to Facebook and embarrass myself.

    When I look at all my consoles and games I just see £££.

    I really really hope I don't see these PS3 games I've accumulated over the past 6 months like I did last time. Some of these games I've bought 3 times now.

    I have a regular black PAL Saturn and I love it, but I'm getting the urge to start buying Japanese games and by the time I've paid someone to 60Hz mod it and bought a cartridge to play imports I could have just bought one of the white Japanese consoles I want so badly. They're so cool!

    I thought all PAL DCs read CD-Rs?

    The good Japanese Saturn games are fucking expensive mind you!

    Oh, it read them but had a weak laser. Either wouldn't load properly or hanged on the Dreamcast screen whilst the laser made a ton of noise. Read GD-ROM fine though.

    Yeah I think about how much I could sell everything for sometimes, but I then also wonder what I must have paid for all of it over the years. Scary.

    When I look at my PS3 games I just see driving lessons sitting staring back at me.

    I hate these online shops that sell retro consoles, games etc, and charge extortionate prices.

    Nothing to do with you tweaking the laser then?
