Never Throw Old Nintendos Away!

[Guest]

when we moved, i found all my old consoles, every Nintendo, every Sega and all the playstations

frightening thing is, i had 7 Xbox 360's , yes 7 of them, i used to buy them and repair them, the idea was to sell them after that, i never did

I even found a DOCTOR64, i device to play roms on the old N64, i paid over £400 for that, crazy really

I downloaded an emulator onto my MacBook - was Sonic & Bubble Bobble. Then Pokemon. Gotta love the Big Bang Theory for mentioning such things were available

You're sitting on a gold mine there! They all go for a small fortune on ebay, especially if you still have the box. My son is a real retro nerd - 13 years old, and has a full collection of nintendo consoles . Doesn't give our PS4 a second glance!

Got an Atari 2600 in the loft. Not sure how well Pac Man, Qbert and Missile Command would go down with my tech savvy girls 😁

I’m currently building a man cave in the loft and after it’s finished I will have up there a ps1 and 2, Xbox, Nintendo 64 and a Atari ST was gutted I sold my Atari 800XL.

So true we kept all boxes and ds’s have sold several bits from on systems and some have gone for considerably more than they cost originally. One of them sold an old Magic Card from childhood and that went for £100+. Always knew there was an advantage to having a loft full of boxes.

I still have my old Super Nintendo, N64 and GameCube. My ds has been making full used of goldeneye on N64 lately, but I agree the graphics are awful, compared to today’s consoles.

I had one of these as a young teen. Probably been thrown out.

DH had one of these. We still have it in a cupboard.

I've got a raspberry PI loaded with emulators and tens of thousands of games for a whole bunch of different systems, but it's installed into an old NES which makes it super-cool

Definitely worth saving, they are going up in value, my DH collects old computers, been buying just to have as a collection, BBCs ataris, spectrums dragons all sorts, mainly bought at car boots over the last 15 years or so, most are worth quite a bit, he says it’s his retirement fund.
