Current gen vs previous generation - Apr 02, 2006 07:35
I was thinking the other day about how some of the current-gen consoles remind me of past consoles. And exactly how ' creative' and original these guys are. So I wanted to know what past generation console reminds you of or resembles a current console in your opinion.

Mines is PS3 vs Fm towns marty
Ds vs Game & watch
Revolution vs Atari 7800 (even the controller)

Ps I tried putting the pictures up but it doesn' t work for me for some reason.

PSP & Dreamcast..

For me, those two have 2 things in common. Both are sleek & Sexay machines and I can' t stop buying games for them!! I have NEVER been as consistent in buying games for any other platforms as I have been with the Dreamcast and PSP.

You' ve got the wrist strap on your PSP. How many has that anyway?
I have mine on as well and it has saved my PSP several times but I imagine lots of people choose not to have it on.

Both units have the wrist strap firmly on. I don' t remove the PSP from its case until the wrist strap is on my wrist, no ifs, ands, or buts. I haven' t dropped the unit yet, there were maybe 2 or 3 close calls where it almost slipped from my hands, but that wouldn' t have mattered anyway since I had the wrist strap on...

Sometimes when riding the subway I' ll hook the wrist strap to my watch for added protection.

I' ve read about people who thought they were too cool for the wrist strap and some of them ended up paying for their unneeded " machismo" . I say, better safe than sorry.

You no longer get the wrist-strap in the UK. Both of my PSP' s have it though since one is a Japanese launch model and the other a British launch model.

I also don' t remove them from their case' s until the strap is on my wrist!

Genius, ...might even save it if someone tries to snatch it...

TERRY Your making me sick...

It' s fine for you to be a sony fan, and you make no effort to hide that, but please....
For the love of god, don' t compare anything sony has done to anything sega has done.

Sega is pure an virtuous..

And sony is the lowest common denominator....

And ken kutaragi is the love child of napoleon bonaparte & the tokyo sewer system.

Even if sega has made past mistakes, at least they aren' t sony....

Dude you have absolutely NO idea how funny it is calling me a Sony fan, LOL.. I' ve always been for being a huge Sega fanboy through and through BUT I don' t turn a blind eye to what else is out there, at least not any more. Been there and done that before.. I totally ignored the NES and focused on the Sega Master System during the 8-bit era, and I totally ignored the PlayStation and focused on the Sega Saturn during the 32-bit era. I didn' t purchase Nintendo' s and Sony' s consoles until both companies entered their 2nd generation of hardware (i.e. Super Nintendo & PlayStation 2).

Don' t mistaken my love for the PSP as some sort of *allegiance* to Sony. The fact of the matter is, I have ALWAYS loved powerful handheld gaming devices. I may not care about specs/power when it comes to home consoles but with portable gaming devices I have always been a power freak, which is why I never owned a GameBoy, GameBoy Color, or a Sega Game Gear, I didn' t feel that they were powerful enough. Some of my favorite handhelds were the Genesis Nomad, Turbo Express, Gameboy Advance, and today it' s the PSP. It' s no secret that I have a tremendous amount of love for the PSP, but it' s also no big secret that I can' t wait to see Sony get toppled in this industry.

I stated my reasons for listing the PSP and the Dreamcast together. My reasons were that I' ve never gone on a video game spending spree as I have with both units.

Well, here in kikizo land, sega is above all else, it' s the reason i keep coming back to spout my poorly worded, and often mis-spelled crap.
So, i don' t think fights go on that long, because we all love sega.

And yes, wristbands are very bea arthur.

well then slap my butt and call me fabulous because i say they rock.

i' ve been trying to convince my uncle to wear one but he thinks it' s nerdy. I' m just waiting for the call. " Hey Eddie, what would happen, hypothetically, if my drive was on the floor, and not in the psp. in 20 pieces?"

That last post of mine was just a joke. Actually I prefer this board to the others out there. It' s a small community that (mostly) repects each others opinions.

Other boards feel like huge clubs where everybody' s screaming at each other but nobody really listens. This one has a nice small pub feel to it.

And wrists straps aren' t gay...

...no self-respecting homosexual would get caught with one on.



And to answer the topic...when i first inserted a disc into my Xbox i had a vivid and somewhat disturbing flash of deja vu involving my 3DO (panasonic version)

What' s pathetic about me is with the current generation I find myself suddenly buying more past-generation stuff than ever. I now have over 100 Genesis, 32X and Sega CD games. I have over 30 SNES games or so (that' s a lot for me considering the system, trust me), I' m completeing my TurboGrafx/PC Engine collection, I get a new Saturn game here and there, I bought a NES (I never owned one before) and bunches of great games for it, I am buying Sega Master System games like crazy, I just purchased a Neo Geo and I' ve got most of those systems hooked up in RGB/component video. I have a separate room for all of the old-school systems and I spend at least 5 times the amount of time in there as I do in my room with the nice HDTV with the Xbox, PS2, GameCube and Dreamcast all hooked up to it with component video as well as 5.1 sound. Why? The games of yesterday are just more fun. I' d rather play 100 different side or top-scrolling shooters that people say are the same than 1,000,000,000,000,0000,000 different FPS games that are the same. Time for a new repetitive genre, folks. FPS games have worn thin and they give me diarrhea.
