Anyone else here into retro gaming?

I love retro gaming. I would love to own all the old 8 bit consoles and computer systems, but sadly, I either sold them, or they just broke (in the case of my old ColecoVision and C64) but oh well

    Yep. I still have and use the Commodore 64 and have a mountain of floppy disks for it. I don't play them nearly as often as I'd like, though, because life gets in the way. In addition to that I have a C64 emulator on the PC with thousands of disk, tape, and cartridge images to use if the day comes that I no longer have any working C64 hardware.

    And because of its age the Playstation 1 may be starting to be considered retro. I love playing the games I have on that thing. Doom and Final Doom may have very rough graphics by today's standards, but damn, they are fun!

    Yes. I started computing on a BBC Micro, then Amiga 500+ before my first PC, a Pentium 90.

    I still play on an Amiga emulator a lot, wish I still had the system.

    I still have a Game Gear too.

    Absolutely in to retro gaming... I don't know if it's nostalgia, growing up with the games and having some fond memories of them all... or that the gameplay and graphics go back to a simpler type of game, and arcade ports you couldn't wait to get your hands on - and unknown games that ended up being hidden gems.

    And don't even get me started on the music :) Amazing on the c64. I loved my Atari and colecovision too, but the c64 will always be my favorite computer... I agree with sky that the ps1 is also now considered somewhat of a retro system,and it had some amazing games on there... for people like us, who grew up on our c64's and Amigas... the PS1 offered a whole new level of gameplay and graphics.
