@BigRedRage

I see you are a big Xbox guy. What games did you like/play on the original Xbox? Just found one for $10 at goodwill and it works. Never owned an Xbox till the 360. I was more of a PS guy.

I'm not BRR, but I remember liking Halo, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, Star Wars: Obi Wan, and Grand Theft Auto. I think most of those will play in the Xbox One now with original Xbox emulation. I know for sure that KOTOR does. Much faster, in fact, than on the the original console.

Ninja Gaiden was dope but hard as hell. I didn't really play anything else on the list except Halo.

I played several of those games, a lot of them are classics in their own right.

Knights of the Old Republic
Ninja Gaiden
Escape from Butcher Bay
Morrowind
Fable

All were pretty good games.

Semi-related; I just picked up a 1st generation (refurb) Sega Genesis. Having a blast picking up games at 2nd hand stores for $2-$5. Feels a bit weird re-buying all the games I owned back in HS nearly 3 decades ago. lol.

I still have my original Playstation, a Sega Saturn, and two 360's to go along with my Xbone. My original Xbox is at a buddy's house. I would love to check out a Genesis again!

I still have my original NES, Playstation 1, 2, 3, and 4. Now have the first Xbox and 360. Need to get a Xbox one. I'm trying to find it cheap somewhere. Had the Atari 2600, but parents decided to give it away! :bang:

My dream is to get most of the older consoles, genies, dreamcast, Atari, and so on. Just want to start collecting them all.

I've still got a Gamecube and N64 sitting in the garage. I built my own Raspberry Pi Retro Gaming system, so I basically have a bunch of those classic games and can play them all using the old PS3 wireless controller.

Too bad you're not in Cali, LOL. There is a store called Game Dude in North Hollywood that is pretty much a warehouse of video games. Selling new and used and pretty much any console you can think of. I go in there and look around from time to time, there are some bargains to be had, especially in their bluray section, but some of their used prices aren't bad.

So far I've been getting most of my Sega games at Bookmans. This week I've picked up:

After Burner II
Sword of Vermillion
Roadblasters
Lakers vs Celtics
Golden Axe
Street Fighter II
Altered Beast
NBA Live 95

All for about $25.

I was going to suggest Bookman's and also Zia. They have both retro consoles and games. Call ahead and many times they'll check the store database and get what you want shipped to the store near you.

You kids were always too hard on those expensive controllers, that's why! (I might be projecting my own memories here)

We're down to just one Zia Record in Tucson these days. Hell, we had 4 a decade ago. At least we still have the 4 Bookmans locations. One of the few Tucson brands to make it outside our dusty pueblo. Lol. Well, that and Sam Fox's restaurants.

Picked up a handful more Genesis games yesterday. Looking for a cheap Master System converter now. I really want to play the original 8-bit Shinobi on the original hardware.

Whenever I go down to Tucson I always make a point to stop at a couple of the Bookman's and Rainbow guitars. I just love those shops.
