Older Video Game Systems

Monkey, you might also post your list on the Voice of the Shoals Forum. They have a classified section.

Could you hit me with that addy again? I used to be a member there, dont know if my account is still active.

I'm hurt. I don't see Intellivision on that list. And I still have my Commodore 64 with Zork 1, Zork 2, and Zork 3. But my ex-brother-in-law took my Intellivision. I guess it was worth it to get rid of him.

If you just miss the games you could try out emulation.

I'm a dork and I d/l the emulator for the old school Oregon Trail!

If any of you have a Wii with wireless internet, you can go to the Wii store and download a bunch of old NES and SNES games using the Virtual Console.

I live in Athens now and there is a store called Level Up. They have all of the old game systems you mentioned as well as games for all of them. They are open at weird times and not often though, so you may want to call and check before driving up here. The number is 256-233-5383

I'll have to check it out. Thanks!!

We had an intellivision growing up. The old pixelated Dungeons and Dragons was a hoot. We had the controllers that you had to slide in a little plastic slip that showed the hand controls. Fun times

I bought the PS2 game with a bunch of the Intellivision games on it. It just isn't the same.

I still have my perfectly good Atari that we all love to play!!

Thanks TIde, I will check that place out.

As far as emulation, I have done all of that, and I just don't like the way the games play or look on emulation. I don't know, something about it. Plus, I like to have autonomous console units.

James, tell me more about this. I'm very interested. But modding my son's Wii kinda scares me.

Have you heard of the Odyssey? My mother bought that for my sister and I @ Gene's on Cloverdale Rd. when we were kids. I think the Atari would have been cheaper (and that is actually what we wanted because thats what our friends had), but they gave her credit, so she went with them, ALWAYS. It was pretty neat though. I do still have it, btw.
