Wouldn't call it a collection but I've still got loads of old magazines pretty much all C&VG from the eighties, Atari User and Page Six, plus a lot of Crash and you're Sinclair, as well as some early commodore stuff and a few less know ones, all UK mags. I also had a lot of early PC gamer mags, but ...

Something that you could actually run or load an operating system into would be good. ST, Amiga, early PC or Cpm based machines.

Surely there is a surplus of old Crt TV screens out there gathering dust in a warehouse somewhere, that are suitable for being convert to vector displays.

We can only hope


Actually a new Vectrex type consol is about the only one I would pay around a hundred or more £££ for

That is all...

I would like it if they surprised us and stuck a couple of never before released games on it. Like 'Thrill kill'? ... i am going to respond with the rest by asking you all if you would also welcome a PS2 Classic in the future... My answer would be exactly the same as for the PlayStation/PS1. I stil...

Ah, should be waring my glasses

... it's not really the sort of system that you could make much smaller and cheaper these days... True, and there wouldn't be any point without the vector graphics screen. But how good would it be to have a vectrex-alike that had all the release games, the best and rarest of the homebrew, and the a...

I did feel a little bit like that as well with the PlayStation, but strangely not with the Dreamcast, which was a whole generation younger?!

I'm not doing too bad, but my high score is only 77161, miles of the high-score table!

Don't get me wrong.I do see the point of the online-store based option. And do have some games for older systems, that I've bought this way. But is it really a 'compatible' system? I'd say my original 60Gb PS3 was (more or less) compatable with my PS2, e.g. I could put PS2 or PlayStation games in th...

Forgot about Crazy Taxi as well !!!!

Why forget about Crazy Taxi? I have 1 and 2. The first one is still a brilliant game,and ther second still playable?!

IMO it isn't backwards comparability unless you can stick the real media from the older console in and play it.
Buy-it-from-an-online-store backwards compatibility isn't compatibility at all,it's buy-it-from-an-online store!

I would have really liked to see the original concept (real) build of Spore made, instead of the nonsense EA made it into.
That, and any of the dropped Legacy of Kane games.

I probably still prefer older-style game-play, but some people wrote off the PlayStation to quickly IMO. Saga_MegaDive - Did you try games like, Wild Nine, Heart of Darkness, abe's oddysee/exoddus, or on import Umihara Kawase Shun for 2D - 2.5D platformers and still not like them? Or if you like SHM...

So we have got the Vega, and now a PlayStation, and various other Sega, Nintendo, and Atari (amongst others) 'Classic' systems bundles with X number of bundled games out there. But what systems would you like to see done? I'd love to see ether a Vecterx one with a proper vector screen, or a Japanese...
