    One rule and one rule only: No Wii U, No Xbox One, No PS4.

    But you are allowed things like the Ouya, the Steambox and the N64 Disk Drive.

    Anyone got any weird or obscure consoles sitting around?

    How about outdated, obsolete, but still great consoles like the N64?

    Well, as mentioned, I have a SHIELD which I can probably do a brief showcase of. I was also thinking of getting my hands on an OUYA, because it's a nice concept and has a nice price tag of only $99.

    Anyone remember the original 2DS, the GBA mini? That thing was silly.

    Well, I didn't rule it out so...OK. Would be better if you tried the N64 'Bulky Drive' or the Quickshot Pro or something like that.

    I want to get an Ouya for the same reason. It just seems like too fascinating an experiment to pass up.

    Making Pocket Sized things Smaller? Awesome!

    Removing Backwards Compatibility in the process? Very, very lame.

    Ah! The Retina Destroyer 5000. Better known as The Thing That I Played For Five Minutes and Then Puked Over My Shoes.

    My stepdad found an old SNES and N64 in a storage building a little over a month ago. I've been hammering on LoZ:OoT like crazy!!

    I don't like the Ouya controller.

    I am so jealous.

    I also completely forgot I made this thread. But I can report I recently picked up an Intellivision! The only problem is, I have no idea if it works properly...

    Why would I be sarcastic? TurboGrafix-16's are cool. What do you have for yours?

    Eh.
    I don't have my collection nearby, so I don't remember what all I have. These are the ones I remember though;
    Alien Crush
    Bomberman
    Double Dungeons
    Dungeon Explorer
    Galaga '90
    Keith Courage in Alpha Zones
    Klax
    Parasol Stars
    Silent Debuggers
    TaleSpin
    Timeball
    Tricky Kick
    Victory Run
    I think that's all, but like I said, I don't have my collection nearby. My favorites would have to be Silent Debuggers and Double Dungeons. Keith Courage is also pretty fun after you get past how easy it is to die in the Overworld. Dungeon Explorer is decent as well, but I played with cheats on so I actually stood a chance at winning (Which I did.).
