What video game/games are you playing?
I'm playing Gun on the PS2 at the moment, it's a third person shooter with a little bit of first person shooting, a Western, cowboys, Indians, you can ride horses and it's kind of sandboxy, it seems like a similar game to the Red Dead Redemption games, it's a really well made game and I'm finding it to be quite fun which is strange because I don't enjoy watching Westerns at all.

I have a PS5, just have to upgrade the tv to 65inch running 120 frames a second at some point. I mainly stick with F1, FC25, Gran Tourismo and surprisingly Forza Horizon 5. I don’t have the mental concentration for first player games, I’d just sit there scratching my head and mashing buttons.

James Pond 2 on the Sega Megadrive, Wonderboy on the Sega Master System, The New Zealand Story on the ZX Spectrum.
Yes, all the original machines!

I'm not into westerns either @Ross1975 but i am revisiting Read Dead 2.
I played Arthur as a villain, so i ended up with the low honour ending. Going to play again and try to get the high honour ending.
It's a great game. Big map and lots of things to do.

Ooh I do love a gaming discussion and I'm seeing some great games mentioned already. ❤️
I've not had much gaming time recently, but I was really getting into Two Point Museum, a very easy going game with lovely humour. Also I've just started Clair Obscur; Expedition 33, which I'm definitely falling in love with, even if I am really rubbish at dodging and blocking right now.
I'll be sofa/bed bound for two weeks as of next week, so I've installed The Last of Us 2 Remastered and Red Red Redemption 2. I reckon those two will keep me occupied for a while. 😁 If you can think of any other in depth, narrative driven games for the PS5, Xbox Series X or Steamdeck, I'm all ears.0 -
That's awesome. I like the original hardware too. I remember those systems.
Back in the day I had an Acorn Electron and then an Atari 800XL, most other people at the time had ZX Spectrum's and Commodore 64's.

Oh James Pond was a game changer for me, I loved that style so much.

Anyone use a CRT for the oldskool games? I have a 14 inch Matsui from around 1998 that I use since standard definition games look their best on a CRT.
I also have a few other CRT's, but some of them need to be repaired.

A new release for a Speccy or C64 was £9.99, The Master System cartridges were three or four times that amount.
I loved my Spectrum, and always refused to accept a C64 was better, even when the lack of colour made some games hard to see what was going on! Us Speccy diehards even managed to convince ourselves the sound was better too.
My favourite Spectrum game would be one of the Monty Moles or Way of the Exploding Fist 2. (You needed to be an octopus to play the latter with the keyboard).

There were lots of cassette games for just £1.99 each too, I remember how a lot of the £9.99 ones seemed as though they were better quality games (but not necessarily more fun) and would usually come in bigger black plastic cases unless that's just some false memory.
Games on cartridge for the 800XL were something like £30 each, which seemed really expensive, they weren't that common either as most games in the shops for the 800XL were on disk and cassette, so having one of the cartridges seemed like something really special.

I refuse to give some bandit £300 plus for some junk out of their attic! I have been unable to get hold of an old portable telly by any other means.

You are correct, there were what we called 'budget games for £1.99, some were better than others.
I bought 'Double Dragon' for my Spectrum; it came in a double cassette sized cardboard box. We were fooled every time, lol, the graphics screenshots on the back were always for Atari St, Amiga etc, never the poor Speccy!

I still remember the thrill of Outrun and Operation Wolf on the Spectrum. The latter, you couldn't make out any of the targets, what with the screen in green and black! (Always just one colour - green, white, yellow, magenta, blue, with black)

Games coming on cassette, do you remember when they were installed the stripes around the edges of the screen and the noise it made😊

You can get them for a lot cheaper on ebay, but I think now because they're so old (even the newest ones are very old now) that it's difficult to find one that works properly, unless I had just been really unlucky when buying them.
The one that I use I bought from the British Heart Foundation for only £5 around 10 years ago, luckily it still works perfectly.

Here's a pic of my set up. Does anyone have any pics of theirs?

I loaded up The New Zealand Story and Double Dragon on my Spectrum a fortnight ago. Those sounds are very special to me.
