[QUOTE=Yumyumbublegum;19630368][img]http://www.videogamecritic.net/images/systems/gencontroller.jpg[/img] I still have a fully working Genesis sitting on my desk, I play Sonice/Boogerman sometimes. [editline]08:45PM[/editline] And Ecco the Tides of Times, that game makes me nostalgia so much.[/QUOTE] The dophins name is spelled Ecco, not Echo.
[QUOTE=leach139;19628048]Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you [b]THE STEEL BATALLION 40-BUTTON CONTROLLER[/b] [img_thumb]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e7/Steel_Battalion_controllers.jpg[/img_thumb] I have one, they're pretty rare, but [b]SO KICKASS[/b][/QUOTE] I have one too, it's awesome (mine has green buttons though). Also it can be used for other games on the PC ([url]http://www.joypadgame.com/xbox.html[/url]) with an adapter (if you play Mechwarrior it's pretty much perfect).

Apple IIGS with original keyboard+FDD :D No pics though.

[QUOTE=pentium;19623262]I have very fond memories of being honored to own a Forte VFX1 VR system....at the cost of getting it six years after it came out and for $300.

I think I still have a custom made script that made it wirk with the old non-steam Half-life. Ah yes, so much trial and error work...[/QUOTE] It's 2010 and nobody needs 125 devices connected to their pc (according to the video)

Motherfucking sega dreamcast controller, I remember playing soul caliber and some weeaboo as rpg game on it, man that game was so revolutionary because you could go up to a phone and dial numbers, you could interact with everything around you man it was so awesome. [IMG]http://homepage2.nifty.com/shinu/pic/bleemdc02.jpg[/IMG] Odd it has the same ABXY button setup as the xbox
[QUOTE=trainman1337;19848302]Yep, back in the 386/486 days.[/QUOTE] AMD and Intel processors were use the same socket up until the Socket 7 days.

Seriously, so many good memories on that bastard, and I still feel like playing it sometimes. [QUOTE=Highwind;19628111][img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e6/Gravis_pc_gamepad.jpg/800px-Gravis_pc_gamepad.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] Heh, I still have this. I remember I played the first PC game I ever had on it, had to figure out the drivers too. Shit was so cash when I played Rayman 2. :v:
[QUOTE=M2k3;19590344]Still got my Gravis Thunderbird kicking around. This thing was a blast when playing [b]Earthsiege 2[/b] and F-15. [img]http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/5738/dsc01825oi.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] God I remember playing that game for hours. I think my father had some sort of logitech.

[QUOTE=Arsonist;19858602]It takes about 30 mins to load a game off the cassette tape[/QUOTE] I can highly protest that as I own a C64 and its older brother the VIC-20. Also, that setup is ghetto. At least get a floppy drive and a modem. [img]http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs41/i/2009/007/1/7/Fun_for_the_whole_family_by_CelGen.jpg[/img]
