It still works fine, but I wanted a clutch pedal and H-pattern shifter. The Wii is still set up under the TV ready to go, but to be honest it doesn’t really get used anymore.Īs for peripherals, I retired my old Logitech Driving Force GT wheel about three months ago, after probably 13 years good service. The Spectrum was released in ‘82, I would guess this particular one is mid 80s? So approaching 40 years old! It’s not used regularly, as emulation is so easy, but it does get used occasionally. Complete with old tape deck and games on cassette, and Kempston joystick. The oldest piece of gaming in my house that still works and is occasionally used is my wife’s ZX Spectrum 48K that we get out of the loft every few years to try. Well, I guess it depends how you look at it, whether I still have it and it works, or whether it still gets used… Out of them all, I do wish I still had my Dreamcast. ![]() I just found multiple consoles pricey, as you have so many games to buy. Over the years I did own and then sell my GameCube, original Xbox, Xbox 360, and Dreamcast. PlayStation 2 and 3 play PS1 games so everything is covered. With all the mini-consoles and downloadable games I don’t need to have my original NES, Mega Drive, and PS1. I suppose portables are different, as I still own a Game Boy Color, PS Vita, and PSP but I no longer use them anymore, or at least not much. I setup my PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3, as they still have exclusive games for those consoles only. However, once a year I do go on a retro trip and set-up all my old consoles. As the PlayStation 5 gives me digital access to some old games I have a lesser need to keep multiple consoles in my set-up. I currently have my PlayStation 5 as my only console set-up to use at this moment in time. Alas, I think we will only ever get a piecemeal offering of a retro service from Nintendo and Sega. My ideal situation would be having access to all (and I mean all) of Nintendo and Sega’s back catalogue on Switch with a Game Pass model and the ability to buy retro controllers for the service. I’ve played Game Boy Advance games on my laptop using keyboard, but this just isn’t the same as having the original feel. I also own the Classic Mini NES, SNES, and Mega Drive and while not old hardware, most of these games are still totally playable, especially the SNES with the nice big sprites.įor me the only hardware part that matters are the controllers. Now I have finally settled somewhere, and I am looking forward to replaying the GameCube’s excellent library. After moving around over the last six years or so, due to work, I’ve not had much chance to play it other than at Christmas, when I was at my parent’s house where it was stored. It still works perfectly, the only problem being the analogue sticks on the controllers are starting to crack a little (although I may order new parts soon). The oldest hardware I still use is my GameCube, which I got in summer 2002. The portability, great battery life, and sheer breadth of game catalogues for the aforementioned consoles means I’ll continue to play them for the foreseeable too! I did dabble in getting some lesser-known portable consoles from yesteryear, which I detailed here, but also have a PlayStation Vita and have played and finished some old classics on that, including Silent Hill, Patapon, and Suikoden. Just this week I was playing Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Justice for All and not long ago completed Super Princess Peach which, like many on the formats, is exclusive to it. The consoles I play on the most are probably the DS and 3DS, which are still so portable and easy to slip into a pocket compared to the Nintendo Switch. Thanks to having a penchant for handheld consoles, I still regularly play on older hardware, made all the easier being able to buy games for them from the high street (mainly CeX) and online. We also have a fully working Mega Drive at work that we have matches on Mega Bomberman and Micro Machines on during break times. Prior to the mini-consoles though, the SNES also got a regular airing, which still works handsomely and is a testament to the build quality of old consoles. However, I do still use my Nintendo DS for puzzle gaming, like Picross, and we got our Wii out recently for Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 and the wonderful Resident Evil 4, but also to delve back further and play GameCube titles like Skies Of Arcadia and Burnout 2.
