Because he doesn't like the same games you do he's not a proper "gamer"? Bit childish, tbh.

I'm certainly not a moron thanks very much...

It's a great idea of course, but I'm not sure I would spend £50 just to play these classics on a shrunken NES console. I'm just not sold by it. At a price point of £29.99 I'd probably get one.

Well you sound like the moron from comment #32, this post is for people that want the nostalgia. We can all easily download these but its the item that is posted that we want.

I never said you was a moron pal, i understand people can get these on a PI/PC or whatever but i will be picking one up for the unit and of course for Super Mario Brothers 3. It is like posting a torrent site name on a Blu-Ray thread.

If they had allowed you to choose the games or something then I'd get this over a Pi, but too many classics missing is the deal breaker for me - Blue Shadow, Solstice, Bart vs the Space Mutants, Contra, and Bayou Billy.

Saying that... I'm a bit tempted to order it now...

Technology has massively improved and gaming has massively improved as well. A good game design is always a good game design, there is merit in many older titles. It's a fallacy to believe that modern gaming is just graphics, there's innovation, story telling and great gameplay. Who's going to want to play the original Doom or Duke Nukem 3D when you can play modern Doom? What I'm saying is that modern gaming can do gaming that's impossible in retro gaming. This doesn't mean retro gaming is redundant, it means it's a different experience.

If you thought UC4 was dull then I don't consider you to be a gamer anyway.

I remember hammering the bejesus out of my ZX Spectrum keyboard playing Daley Thompson's Decathlon, I think that was in 1984. Was an excellent way to fk up the fragile rubbery ZX Spectrum keyboard. Anyone remember Skool Daze on the ZX Spectrum? One of my favourite ZX Spectrum games is Halls of The Things. I remember using a hex editor on that game and finding hidden text in it. Anyway I digress, here's to another 30+ years of gaming if I make it that long! :smiley:
