Heyo people,
I have a fascination with retro consoles/handhelds/games. I'd love to own every single retro Nintendo console but yeah I am not made of money lol! I was just curious if anyone on here had the same love for the older consoles and handhelds and what games you have for them, well that's if you have games for them! (retro games can be so pricey ugh)
Anyway I'll start off with my collection so far:
-Probably my most prized retro console is my boxed Gamecube. I bought it from CEX for about £40 and almost cried at how amazing this deal was. I struggled with finding games for it though and when I did get a game, Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly, I forgot that I needed a memory card. Poor console sat in the box in my wardrobe for a bit. However this Friday I went shopping with my bf and found a shop that had Shadow the Hedgehog for GC and a memory card to go with it! Super cheap as well and now I can play my Gamecube so I'm happy!
-This next retro handheld holds a personal place in my heart. My first experience with any sort of video games was when I was very young. My aunt had a foster child at the time and he had a Gameboy Color and Pokemon Yellow! I was instantly hooked.. but I was a dumb kid and yeah I didn't know how to get out of Viridian City lol. It was sometime last year when I brought up the Gameboy Color to my aunt. I just had to know if she had it or if the foster child still owned it. She went digging around in the garage and found the Gameboy Color and she gifted it to me as no-one had played it for a very long time. I think the other games she gave me were Gex and some Worms game!
-Lastly is my most recent retro console. I was very surprised to find an original xbox for a very cheap price in CEX. And I ended up buying it and I had to hide it when I went to work lol. My room isn't the biggest so I ended up leaving it at my bf's house and it now lives there. I sadly don't have any games for it but I'm on the hunt for a few specific ones and they seem so rare D:
My next consoles/handhelds that I'd like to buy are an N64, the new NES they're remaking and a Gameboy Advance! I'd love to hear your stories on how you got your retro consoles/handhelds
