I got bored and installed DOS 6.22 to a vmachine on my Mac.
Found dosgames.com and dosgamesarchive.com, proceeded to download classics like Prince of Persia, Commander Keen, a Donkey Kong clone, Tetris, Super Worms, PacMan, Mario, and a few others. Stixworld is an interesting game where you play a stick figure trying to save the notebook you live in from the approaching recycling truck.

This shit rocks. These games are all under 1MB, use just a few KB of RAM, have VGA-quality graphics and 8-bit SoundBlaster audio.

I love the DOS shot... "upload it to a BBS", and the names like "Blast and Robot Chase".

omg... commander keen!!!

the commander keen series ruled

^+1

I play a lot of old school games on my xbox. Good stuff

:werd:

yep, I have a ton of the old school games on my xbox too

pft, on my comp i have a Win3.1 (for my dos games)Win 95 (to play some of the older win95 games), NES, SNES, GEN, PSX, Dreamcast, and N64, all hooked up to my surround sound and two PSX controllers hooked up to the comp.

pft, i'll top that. I have a Sega Game Gear ;) Old skool PSP

lol, man those were the good ol' days.

omg i want one of those.

I saw an original Nintendo at Goodwill for $15 about a year ago. I'm kicking myself for not buying it.

It was the best although my niece gave me the most fucked up look when she saw it. Kids theses days, if it doesn't have a million colors and a shit load of eye candy then they think it sucks.:dunno: I still play my original tetris that came with the brick sometimes when I need a quick fix.

I beat Metroid NES tonight for the first time in ages.

I top all yall with my Super Pong and Atari Pinball.

They have built in speakers that beep.

Even my 2600 and Colecovision don't sport that kind of bling.

yea but i bet not even half of you remember playing the Atari Lynx of Phillips CD-I

I never bothered with either of those.

The Lynx ate batteries worse than the Game Gear, and the CD-I had no games.

I'd still like to get my hands one both of them though...

I'm trying to get my hands on a 360, and i'll be damned if I can't ever get one.

I can top even that. Sega Nomad.

Old school PSP extreme.

Played all the Sega Genesis games, game gear games, could be a TV, and you could hack it for MP3s and other things today.

Damn, where did you get a Nomad?

Thats a rare find.

I had a Nomad when they first came out.

Sold it to a friend a loooooooooooooong time ago for super cheap. Wish I still had it.

i sitll have my Super Nintendo and 3g Ipod...does that count?

3g Ipod
old school click wheel?

iPod's suck! Who in the hell uses those things ;)

pft i still have my 128MB (might of been a 64MB all i know is it fit 14 128kbps mp3's) Rio Player from 1999 or 98


also the CD-I had a great game called Burn Cycle, too bad it was short

I just took my old Sega master system out of storage, not genesis but the master system, with the first outrun on it and spy vs spy. Man i love that thing.

This isn't too old school, but old enough. I have a JVC X'EYE, and it's still functional.

I had a Rio 500, bought it in '99. 64MB internal, I had a 32MB smartmedia for it. Together I could fit about 2hrs of music on the thing. Then I got my iPod, april '03.

3g Ipod...
I got a 2nd-gen iPod. 20GB, biggest they had. About two weeks later they released the 3g and photo, up to 60GB. Pissed me off.

yea that sounds right, the Rio 500, thats what i had (couldnt remember the name) too bad i cant find the USB cord for it.......i still have the software that goes with it

Damn, where did you get a Nomad?

Thats a rare find.

My dad got it for me for christmas when I was 6. It was $170 new at Toys R Us.

I figured it was probably something like that. I don't know a whole lot of people who have one that are willing to part with it.

One of those :D

I probably still have that cable somewhere. I know where it was before my parents moved, but I'd have to look long and hard to find it now...

That thing was great. I did like the interface, and it was one of the few players at the time that let you put MP3s in separate folders, so you could play either all files or all files in a folder.

old school click wheel?
the one with the 4 sensor buttones on the top of the sensor wheel... hooked up to my PA2v2 headphone amp then hooked up to my sennheiser HD55 making me look like an idiot.

That be newish-school, homeboy.

i still have the same mp3's on it sinde i cant find te vclaeble for it

I also have a 10 year old CD player that can also read MP3 CDs and individual folders.

Now that's something I need to start using every day again. Since I obviously despise the price/quality/software of modern MP3 players.

The my head unit in my car can read them as well, and so can my iPaq, which was the same price as some mp3 players. I doubt i'll ever buy one. WTF do I need with a new age walkman?:dunno:

heh, those were released in early 2003. Prior to that they were the four buttons around the touch wheel, and prior to that they were the click wheel.

That be newish-school, homeboy.
:werd:

damnit fine...i have a 12 yr old panasonic 27inch tv?...some old Sherwood speakers...and thats all i can think off as of now. and a few old school Sharp amps...

I have a 2nd gen 10GB iPod. Bitch is built like a tank. Click wheel, nigga!

I still play my GameBoy Pocket (not color), Sega Genisis with 32 bit pack, Original NES, PS and PS2, as well.

I'll get some pictars of my iPod. My dad has a Nano; so, I'll put the Nano on top of my iPod as a point of referrence.

*edit* I took the pictures, but ImageShack is being very dumb. I have yet to get a sinlge photo to load.

My sister's got my first portable CD player. Ancient Sony, probably 12 years old now. Still works though! Skip-protection memory is shot, so it skips more with the skip protection than without it. No MP3 support, just audio CDs.

OH HOW COULD I FORGET!?

I was going through all my old things out of boredom today, when guess what I saw in the closet...

A yellow box..

The words that say magnavox...

And Odyssey 500...

FIRST HOME GAME CONSOLE EVAR!

If only I still had a black and white TV to play it on. Or adapters for modern tvs.

my portible cd player is so old the lazer is shot and the 5sec anti-skip dosent work

*edit* I took the pictures, but ImageShack is being very dumb. I have yet to get a sinlge photo to load.

omg i have a 40second anti skip lol...but i dont get it...wtfs the difference?

all the anti-skip is that the laser reads ahead for how ever many secs you put it on, that way when you shake the cd it wont skip, (the data is in a memory for that many secs ahead)......so the more data you have in that memory (the longer the anti-skip is in secs) the more you can shake the cd player and the less it will skip.

yeah.... duh.... umm, except if the memory is shot, it buffers and skips when reading that buffer.

HD's have this, it's called "cache". iPods and other disk-based players do this as well.
