That's an amazing deal, I'd go for it just for the controller... If I didn't live 2600 kilometers away :P
I have a Vectrex and I will say that it is really cool... but my controller is broken (button 4 doesn't work, so I can't shoot in the built-in game) and I still haven't had time to fix it.


As for my favorite old console, no doubt the SNES, it just has the best game library out there.

We will simply have to (friendly:), of course :P
agree to disagree here as I would substitute your "SNES" w/ "Playstation" for the best library

Its hard to argue against the Playstation's vast library. But, on the SNES side, its hard to say that there are any games out there on any system at all that can compare to Super Metroid, Zelda: Link to the past, Super Mario RPG, etc. While the library isnt as large as playstation, its library is absolutely solid.

I can agree w/ that.

Mine is the Vectrex, still have the one I got christmas 1983/84. Love the vector graphics.
That's awesome!  I plan on getting a Vectrex eventually, they look cool!

You need to get one! It is a cool little machine....

I frankly don't enjoy the Playstation much. Not that it doesn't have great games, but there's not a lot of games that really come to mind as some of the greats of the industry to me, especially when compared to the SNES :P
Actually, it's not just the Playstation, it's that generation as a whole I'm not too fond of. I love the N64, but it only has a handful of great games. It's the same thing with the Playstation for me. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that it was a very experimental phase in gaming, where most companies had no idea what they were doing.

Not that I have any issues with you liking the Playstation at all, it's just not really my thing and I felt like failing at explaining myself :P

that why i hate when people say how bad  the n64 was they dont understand that the n64 was an experiment that started back in early 90s and the reason the n64 does not use cds is because nintendo got burned it just look up snes cd add on

I'm going to be the odd one out and say the Genesis.  It was my first console.  So much time spent on Sonic and Phantasy Star.

@jobocan -

Totally cool; man  8)

Depending on when/what people started gaming on, and their preference in genres...there's really no *WRONG* answer here as it's all subjective :P

Top 3 are
1. Genesis
2. Vectrex
3. Dreamcast.
I really dislike the n64, play station and Xbox.

My favorite is the SNES, followed closely by the original PlayStation. My least fav is the N64...

1) SNES
2) PS2
3) GBA

The PS2 might not be retro enough but hey, I had to make a list :)

For me, it's hard to see the Playstation as a retro console. I still remember when it was brand new. My favourite console anyway is Sega Genesis. Second would be the Game Boy.
