I wonder if anyone ever went back to dig up all those Atari games buried under Arizona. Would be worth a few quid or ebay by now.

Curiosity got the better of me and I googled.

It was New Mexico, not Arizona, and yes, someone has been back to look for them, and look what game they found....

I imagine that copy of ET is worth more than the Atari!!

I’ve no idea. It’s not boxed but it is for my collection.

are you planning to have an entire room dedicated to this stuff?

Guy at work had an ORIGINAL 1990s Neo-Geo which obviously at the time cost him like £400 and he sold it for £25 on a car book about 10 years ago!??!?!?!?!?!

50p? What are you playing? That new Time Crisis game?

I'm still playing Outrun for 20p a game or 3 games for 50p or SEVEN for £1!

That used to wind me up so much when I was standing in the queue for the Outrun game in the Pneumatic cabinet and the spotty faced twat in front of me put a quid in for 7 games and would be sat in there for ages. And he kept choosing Passing breeze which everyone knows was the worse tune.

Sorry, Flash backs of 1985 there for a minute .

Even advanced Lawnmower Simulator was better than that.

Nope don't remember that at all!

I do miss the arcade days. Having to deal with VERY surley men who you would give £5 to and get 5 x £1 back was a right of passage!!

Still playing GTA.. Am 35% of the way through (though if that means 35% of the MAIN storyline missions or 35% of entire available missions i'm not sure) and the game still continues to amaze me.

I just can't get over how 'real' the city feels the entire time...

but then yesterday I nicked an airplane and landed it on a highway and then placed dynamite next to it and blew it all up... so ya know.....realism..

The Reverend · Aug 27, 2018

I was tempted by GTAV, especially when they released the first-person view option.

Not tempted enough to actually buy it. Plenty of time for that before the PS5 comes out!

I bought a PSP the other day for £25. the UMD games are all broken but it came with a 4GB memory card (this cost £40-50 when it came out!).

I connected to the PSN and have been able to download a few games, including GTA Liberty City.

The most important game I was able to download was....

THEME HOSPITAL!

Guess what I'm spending my holiday playing....

Doctor, to the inflation room please!
