For the OP, it would be good to know what systems everyone has for doing lets plays.

I know you can obviously play stuff on emulators, but a master list of SNES owners, Saturn owners etc. would still be pretty cool to see anyway :D

ZX Spectrum +2 (I think it's that,)
NES,
Snes,
N64,
Master System,
Mega Drive,
Saturn and
PlayStation.

I'm assuming consoles after N64 and PS1 aren't for the retro thread?

I guess anything that came out pre-2000? Dreamcast always feels part of that era to me.

My list:

NES
SNES
N64

Master System
Mega Drive
Mega-CD
32X
Saturn
Dreamcast

PlayStation

Gameboy
GBA
SNES
GC

As a general rule of thumb, it's pretty solid.

The big benefit of emulation of course, is very easy video capture and a very sharp image.

NES
SNES
N64
Wii (Softmodded for GC games)
MegaDrive
Saturn
Dreamcast
PS2

Anything I don't have I can emulate. Hell, my N64 is playing up so I generally emulate that anyway.

My Elgato lets me capture pretty much anything, though I do have some issues with older stuff. Prefer to emulate that stuff anyway as the image is much better and everything pre-HD looks like ass when I do capture it.

I'll update the OP over the weekend with the system lists. Would everyone be good for January to be NES 2D platformers then?

Cool, I have no problem plating stuff if they're bad, or hard. I sucked majorly on Super Star Wars yesterday. Only got to the 2nd level, and after killing many a Jawa I died on top of the vehicle thingy.
