DTM Brian Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 I have been playing it the last couple nights along with some of my favorite SNES games. Brings back memories of staying up all night playing these games. Feels good to not think about cars and travel back in time. Favorite SNES games that I have been playing are Castlevania and Donkey Kong Country. If someone would have told me I could have all the games I played as kid on my computer. I would have thought they were crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Hell, I still have a SNES with about 50 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 I love the SNES version of Mario Kart and still play it with my daughter. She has played and beaten most of the Zelda games from old NES, SNES, N64, on up to her Wii and DS. I don't know what that makes her seeing as how none of her friends know what these old systems are, but she is an honor roll student so she can play all the video games she wants.

We should plan a night for this. I just need to get a couple more Logitech Controllers. I assume you have the arcade version on a pc?

paktinat Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Here is the MAME arcade emulation cabinet I built a long time ago. http://imgur.com/a/BgE3W Coolest thing I did was wire switches to the coin returns so when you want to "put in" another coin you just reach down and hit the glowing red return.

Cordell Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 just curious why not emulate ? Not everyone wants to be a technerd. I really like the idea of doing just the same way we did as kids. An emulater just takes a certain nostalgia out of it. Hence why he refers to it as a "retro" gaming center, same reason he's using a CRT TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two SNES. Funny part is one of them yellowed on one half of the parts and the other which has been in a box turned yellow on the opposite parts. I could take the two of them apart and make one all yellow unit and one all the original color. LOL Pretty sure Cordell has seen my entire collection.

I have used emulators its just not the same as looking though all the cartridges, blowing on them, and flipping on the on switch and just turning your mind off for a bit. I just like collecting all the old games as well. Sure it costs a lot but can be enjoyed all the time. I have spent time collecting the games I want and getting a nice CRT tv. Just a hobby and a way to kick back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
