    I'm finishing off Horizon Zero Dawn, and trying to 100% a couple of platformers, all on PS4. On Switch I'm playing Zelda Breath of the Wild. :)

    I play primarily sport games such as F1-2025, EA Sports FC25 and Forza Horizon 5 all on the PS5.

    I recently put the internals of a PS2 Slim inside a clear orange shell, I really like the way it looks and the clear orange makes the green led look yellow when it's on.

    Have you started randomly growling "boy" at everything yet @Wheeled_Weapon ?πŸ˜†

    Oh that looks fab @Ross1975 nice work!

    I'm still playing Clair Obscur; Expedition 33 (Up to act 3 now) Dune Awakening and I'm about to start Red Dead Redemption 2 as I obviously have way too much free time. πŸ˜…

    Oh boo! I adored the last GoW game @Wheeled_Weapon. I found it a load more accessible too.
    I totally understand that feeling. My love for gaming ebbs and flows, but the older I get, the less time I want to give to gaming. But sometimes a game just grabs me and doesnt want to let go.πŸ˜†

    I've just started playing Chessmaster for the PS2 to learn how to play chess again as I've forgotten.

    I'm now playing Capcom Classics Vol 2 on the PS2, I think it's a lot better than the first one. It's when playing games like these that it reminds me that I really want to get an arcade stick for the PS2, and a mouse or track ball (if there is one) for Block Block, but I just never get around to it.

    My favourite games on it are:

    King of Dragons

    Knights of The Round

    Side Arms

    Three Wonders: Chariot

    Block Block

    I think if you find one for cheap enough on ebay, read the description and contact the seller to make sure there aren't any faults with it, then if they say there aren't any faults and they have good enough feedback, especially 100% and they've sold plenty of other things, then you should be able to trust that the telly will be okay.

    A while back I bought a clear orange matching controller and memory card for my PS2. Also recently did the same for my frosted yellow PS2, unfortunately though the controller was damaged in the post.

    Oh no @Ross1975 has the seller said if they'll replace it or not? What a loss!

    I haven't played video games properly for years (unless we're counting the sims!!!) but I always used to LOVE playing Saints Row 2 with my brothers…though in hindsight we definitely weren't old enough to be playing itπŸ˜„

    A tv with a video player, old games consoles and a shelf of DVDs

    This is my gaming setup! I adore video games, especially the classics like Mario on the NES. My favourite PS1 game has to be Time Crisis, although I don't have a CRT tv to be able to play it πŸ˜”

    I'm dead jealous of that set up @Rachel_Scope I remember the NES coming out and spending a lot of time playing Duck Hunt at a friends, I used their huge mountain dog as an arm rest for aiming on. πŸ˜„

    I have played a lot of Dune Awakening over the past month. Far too much in fact. πŸ˜†

    I also have that first model of PS2, a later model of the 360, a blue Wii, and the older model of PS1 (the grey one), I don't have a NES though. And a VCR, lol.

    I requested a return and they've asked me to post it back to them, I guess I'll either get a refund or a replacement.

    At least you have the photos to show it arrived damaged @Ross1975 so fingers crossed they'll sort it for you. 😊

    I like the cut of your jib, Rachel, a NES is the business.

    I don't have a crt tv either, and not giving some bandit 300 quid for one! It would really benefit my ZX Spectrum, but the two Segas - Master and Megadrive, they work fine on my normal telly with a scart lead.

    I'd not heard of the ZX Spectrum so had to look it up. It reminded me of my Amstrad which took 5 minutes to load games that were on cassette tape!

    There's an arcade in Leeds that has all the classic games like Pong, Frogger, and my favourite, Track and Field. I'm terrible at it but it's so addicting. I've brought my son up on all the classic games and now he wants to be a games developer!
