I'm catching up on a few posts that I have missed... and, man, is there some cool gear here!
MrKirov wrote:(tons of stuff!)
First up we have MrKirov absolutely demolishing our senses by sharing everything - *everything!* - that he has! That set of PlayStation games is astounding; lots of great titles and plenty of relatively rare ones, too, zuch as R-Types and Rapid Reload and Twisted Metal World Tour (
), plus late titles like Firebugs (which is a great spin on Rollcage!). And then, following that showing, you move onto a collection of US PlayStation titles!
Cracking stuff, dude, and thanks for sharing. Maybe you could focus in on particular titles or series for future Weekenders? It'd be good to see more of them!

Here we go... Dev is prepared to mix things up! It's cool to see some PC titles here and they look to be from around the period I was into PC gaming (2002 through 2005). The LucasArts Starw Wars titles were ace and I remember being totally astounded by GTA III. And then... you take people off into a sideroom to show them your N64 stuff
. You got a variety of classics there and, yes, those Bad Fur Day and Paper Mario packages are the big bucks items!
Great share, Dev - thanks, man.

Deaths arrives with a plethora of gaming goodness! It's funny how chunky the original GameBoy seems today, when it felt sleek and slim at the time
. It's definitely a classic design, though. Unfortunately the screen went on my one and I subsequently moved over the the GB Color which I remain a fan of. It's good to see Eternal Darkness, too - it's a game hat I read so much about but, having never owning a 'Cube, I missed out on playing it.
It's cool that you included your foot in the GB photo, dude... talk about adding value to the package! Thanks, Deaths

Gecko... dude... I feel like I've been rifling through your entire videogaming history
. It seems that you may have taken photos of the entire contents of your place
. Where do I start?!?
The Mega Drive (model 1
), the hi-fi link-up, a green N64 (with a bonus Wii U hidden to the side
), a string of lush, colourful Game Boys, a picture of Zombie Wario (!?!?), a Super Game Boy (toot-toot-toot!)... and stuff that you've found in bins. Bins. BINS!?!? You must have lived near some of the best bins in existence! Amazing stuff, man - thanks for sharing all - ALL - of it!

Loki? Can you help?
Loki
. He clearly has a
norse for retro gaming
...
. Dude, that Street Fighter SNES set is classic. I remember how huge the series was on the SNES; just amazing. And then - SLAM! - Loki shows us the N64 carts. Oh, boy, what a selection. Your point about the Tony Hawk's skateboaring carts is interesting... did the second one really come out first? I'm not sure about that... I remember that HAwks 2 was one of the last (in fact, the last?) N64 game released here in the UK. Will have to delive into that further. Thanks for sharing, guys!
Oh, and... Loki

... Box - Are you ready for the epic adventure portrayed?
Hyperion roars in and he is ready to share! I always like a look at old Atari VCS stuff - I never owned one at the time but I played it quite a bit at friends houses. Yeah, the boxes often had weird and wonderful art that barely resembled the actual game
. The cartridge stickers being "upside down" is a good spot - I'd never thought of that! And then - out of the blue - you introduce a guest... a star from the 60s! Bonus points for presentation. Thanks for joining in, man!

...I always wanted the separate version of Jet Set Radio Future, I'd been looking for a while and had rarely seen them in a really good condition...
Jamo, good to see you joining the retro frenzy, dude! Jet Set Radio... tremendous stuff. I haven't played the Dreamcast version but I am fond of the Xbox game. Like you, I wanted the "stand-alone" version of the game and I was lucky enough to get one after release for a decent price.
"Understand, understand... Understand, understand... Understand, understand the concept of love!" Such great music and presentation! It makes for a great choice for the Weekender; thanks, man.

Okay... right... I think I have now caught up with everything. We're only a few weeks into the Weekender and we've already seen so much cool videogaming gear. Thanks to everyone who has taken part, either by contributing or commenting... lets keep this going. After all, we've got a lot to get through and enjoy
