Darn consoles and games got so expensive lately. Not sure I could afford it on the used market.
Do they make alternative consoles or cartridges with all the games on them? Or something?

edit: those adapters don't work with mac... dammit

But I'm weird like that. I just wish there were more usb type controllers with more of a classic style d-pad where it was more like a snes or original Playstation 8 directional d-pad controller because with the 360 style and typical logitechs I find it hard to be accurate. Like trying to press straight down to use a warp pipe in a Mario game can be a pita

But its also how I got my copy of Final Fantasy 3(6) on snes...
I feel no guilt.

I own one of these - http://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-Retro.../dp/B003O3EFY2
Not a bad price when you consider it works for three consoles. The cartridges can be pricey if you don't have them though. |

Daddy, however, is just biding his time until the new Bioshock game comes out!
