Fetching Foregone Consoles
Pizzajam \| 4:09 PM on 01.23.2009	10 comments

It started like any other trip to eBay. I was just browsing. I had no intention of buying anything.

12 minutes later I was the proud owner of an original Gameboy and 10 games.

I figured, "Hey, I own every other member of the Gameboy family; I NEED this to be complete."

Now I'm looking at getting a Dreamcast. There's just something intriguing about this failed system that draws me in: the strange controller, the exceptional graphics for the time, the list of cult classic games. Maybe the most appealing part of my quest to own a Dreamcast is the fact it was the only member of that console generation on which I didn't game. One thing I have heard though, is that everyone who ever owned a Dreamcast still has it. Interesting...

So now the choice looms in front of me: splurge on a piece of history (hehe) or save my cash and buy a hooker or two.

I would say buy it. I don't have one, but I'm a huge Saturn fanboy and would definitely scoop up a Dreamcast if I ever had the chance.

Ya, Dreamcast is definitely awesome. Buy it for sure. Plus! You can NOT burn you're own games :)

I found my old gameboy whilst clearing out my room in my parent's place, and realised how insanely hard old games seem compared to modern ones.
Super Mario Land, I'm looking at you.

"You want to save? What the hell is that?"

Oh, and hell yeah get a Dreamcast!

Man, I still have, almost, every single damn system I've ever owned...
The Atari Lynx, N.E.S., Genesis, Gameboy, Dreamcast... To name a few.
I've never liked to get rid of these systems that cost so much in the first place...
I still even have the original boxes each one came in!
Crazy?
Yes.
Cool?
Yes.
=)

If you can, definitely get Jet Grind Radio for your Dreamcast. Oh, and Seaman, too. Best of luck to you!
