    Anyway it brought my mind to my old Nintendo NSE, it's at home and I wonder if it still works loved those old games but didn't bring them with me to college (in another country than where I was living) soo who else has theirs ??

    It depends. What counts as vintage? Because I'd still hold up the original Spyro trilogy on PS1 as some of the best games ever made.

    I've still got my N64 too, I still get games for it to replay favorites I rented as a kid. I've got the usual suspects like SM64, OoT, DK64, Kirby, etc but I recently acquired Mega Man 64 (Legends), Bomberman 64 and Jet Force Gemini.

    I would say I'm a fan of retro games either from before my time or from my childhood. Some still hold strong today, IMO.

    Well I'd say anything under 2002 is vintage in my eyes so all the comments above and retro is around 70s to mid 90s Oh I have a PS1 too & the original gameboy from '96 (which doesn't work anymore sadly)

    If you count River City Random, Contra, Megaman 2, Final Fantasy 1,4,6,7, and 8, chrono trigger, legend of zelda.... (list goes on)...

    Then yes I am.

    My answer is absolutely yes :lol:

    I have 9 consoles. The ones that are currently hooked up are; NES, SNES, Dreamcast, GameCube, PS2 and PS3. Plus two gaming computers.

    I play my SNES and Dreamcast more than anything and I've been playing a game of the original Black & White for PC for over a decade.

    Vintage... Starflight 1 and 2 were some of the first open world games. Also the old sierra games like space quest, police quest and kings quest.

    Ahh the old Tandy 2000 when I was a kid!

    Depending on what you consider as vintage yeah. Naturally since my first console was the PS2 I missed out on even the most famous names in gaming' like mario, zelda, sonic and etc. Alot of that stuff is still new to me so I take any chance I get to play a classic. I'm at a point now where I'm disillusioned with alot of today's games with all their flashy cinematics and DLC abuse. I find the simplicity and nostalgia of old games to be refreshing.

    Yeah, in general. I'm not going to lie, I'm not huge on the 8 bit era as it's a bit too tough as nails for me. But I still love the crap out of my N64, especially the platformers. In fact, the Super Nintendo in my opinion is really the best generation for side scrollers of the time and they made a ton of achievements in RPGs as well. Though I'm a 3D gamer at heart, there are plenty of pre 2000 games that I still hold as some of the best.

    When I was little I used to play video games on my cousin's NES. I have a whole bunch that were ported to Gameboy. Although even my Gameboy Advance is probably considered vintage now.

    The NES was my first ever gaming system. I bought it with my very first income tax check...and thought it was awesome!!! Later moved on the the sega genesis because I got tired of blowing out the game cartridges to get the NES to work. Now, I have my 360 (Yes I still play vid games at 41) and have to say I don't really miss the old NES or sega games.

    Now I miss spyro :/ I would play it if I could find it, and GTA San Andreas as well if my PS2 didn't mess up all the time. I would love to get GTA SA on a xbox 360, but I can't find it... :frowning2:

    being an 80's child, I was lucky enough to have an Atari and I LOVED it

    Vintage to me is like old atari, NES and such...I remember playing Burgertime and Centipede for hours

    and of course the hardest game in the history of games....Pitfall

    I love the old trend-setters

    Pokemon: Launched a whole generation and beyond of kids wanting to be the next Pokemon master

    Monkey Island: Made the comedic game a possibility and also made point and click adventure games the cool thing

    Spyro: One of the best games ever made, while not entirely ground breaking it is one of the games of my childhood.
