I used to play my Gameboy via link against my cousin in the snow.

[Chocofreak13]

[Red-Machine]

I bought a Link Cable so I could trade Pokemon... with myself...

[NejinOniwa]

I have a GB-GBA cable... -w-

[Chocofreak13]

i think i have a cheap knockoff one....but i've never gotten the oppertunity to use it cause i didn't have many friends and only like, 1 of them played.

and when i tried to trade with myself, the copy of gold my brother gave me crashed my crystal. >__<;;

I'm currently hunting an elusive Internet-ready Commodore 128 computer system. I can't arrange a meeting with the seller until tomorrow and it's going on a first-come, first-serve basis, so here's hoping it doesn't sell today.

(The 128 is one of a few Commodore systems that I actually like - the others being the VIC-20, SX-64, Plus/4 and PET 2001.)

Good Luck, bells. ^^ hope ya get it.

Time is the key element!

There were a ton of local old computers for sale over break, but there were none even approaching a reasonable price :/

[Chocofreak13]

what is "reasonable", anyway? i'd say it's relative, depending on the person. :\

[stewartsage]

$78 for the sketchiest looking complete NES ever with five games and the TV hook up ?  No, no thanks.  And the incomplete Atari 7800 without controllers and only ET for it for $50?  No.  No way EVER.

[Chocofreak13]

hmm, then we place similar stock in old video games. i think that we wouldn't place as much stock in old computers, though. :\

[NejinOniwa]

I found a fully functional NES in my hood garbage room...with a joystick and Top Gun.

=W=

[CanaryTan]

Does my iPod count? it's a 1st gen which is very old in my opinion.

I'm still kind of upset that my computer is taking the 98SE's power cord. :U

[Chocofreak13]

it'll be ok. just run stuff in compatiblity mode. :3
